I am currently deployed and I thank this man from the bottom of myself for this amazing music. I have been listening for over ten years and have never been dissapointed, only humbled and satisfied. “Music has always been a matter of Energy to me, a question of Fuel. Sentimental people call it Inspiration, but what they really mean is Fuel. I have always needed Fuel. I am a serious consumer. On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio.” -Hunter S. Thompson
Nobody looks away when the sun goes down. I LOVE that line, makes me think of a perfect world, where there is innocence everywhere, love everywhere and no question of a sin or evil. Thank you Sam
Funny how music works - I have the _exact_ opposite interpretation! It makes me think that in the day, people look away from injustice and pretend that it doesn't exist, while at night they fully acknowledge it... and still do nothing.
I didn't get nervous or sad or disappointed or whatever negative feelings some did with his changing style for a few reasons. 1. I liked it. 2. His old songs are always still available 3. (The relevant part) Bands always have an album where they return 'to their roots' Perhaps we're getting that 'roots' album
Thomas County Law's got a crooked tooth Every traffic light is red when it tells the truth The church bell isn't kidding when it cries for you Nobody looks away when the sun goes down Thomas County Road takes you where it will Someone's singing on the far side of other hills There's nowhere safe to bury all the time I've killed Nobody looks away when the sun goes down There's a couple ways to cross Thomas County Line You can't see beyond the trees, they're too tall and wide And I never seem to see around my brother's wife Nobody looks away when the sun goes down There are castles for kings, there are birds without wings I could whine 'bout it all, but I won't Thomas County Law's got a crooked tooth There ain't a mother with a heart less than black and blue When they hold 'em to the light, you can see right through Every dreamer falls asleep in their dancing shoes I may say I don't belong here, but I know I do Nobody looks away when the sun goes down Nobody looks away when the sun goes down
All of his songs have meanings, don't know them all, but if I could sit down with any song artist and talk, it would be Sam. I mean, there are a lot of good song artists out there, but Sam, would have lessons to teach and stories to tell, and all with true meaning.
This is like Iron & Wine with an infusion of the National. Beautiful storytelling with a disjointed polyrhythm/time sign. Some comments say that this has no 'hook' or feel, but music should not always be easy to listen to. This is an intriguing mixture of both though.
lord love you.. because gods law is better than mans law... Does not a king love his subjects more than the common man? A king that serves and boast in his people.
does anybody remember this video with sam in black metal corpsepaint and an inverted cross bible? the last time i looked up this video was when beast epic was released
this two guys, Sam Beam and Josh TIllman have some in common, massive beard,country pop, and under subpop.Why don't they just collab already now they would be moon and sun
c'mon Sam, I live with your music as a constant companion. But don't hold the Bible upside down--too obvious. Plus, we Christians have to put up with enough shit from other Christians these days to have to think about it from you, my brother!
