Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats - S.O.B. (Official) 

@@robinreginald9372 it's cause your sister loves it too! Lol

Just sounds good !

Greetings from Sudbury Ontario!

@@cheannbal Canada ay?

Congratulations! I just had 20 years of benzos for insomnia, which disabled me and had me housebound and bedridden. I quit them - I was addicted, though I only took them "as prescribed" - and to my astonishment, got my life back. But being on them for 20 years made for some spectacular hallucinations, so I too underwent a shamanic journey with supernatural forces aiding me. I had a goddess helping me taper off - acting like some sort of supernatural sponsor! I'm so glad you got clean. I've been off 10 years, and it took going back to the trauma, grief and stresses that were the reason I took them in the first place to stay clean with the hell that is benzo withdrawal. I learned to write them out, shake and dance them through and out of me, and befriend the most challenging emotions instead of running from them. Bless Peter Levine and his trauma work, and my women's trauma group! With their help, I could revisit the worst scenes in my life - fully feel the repressed emotions, release them and heal them. Good for you and I'm SO glad this song inspired you to quit!

Congratulations! Feels good, doesn't it? I'm 10 years off clonazepam myself. Took it mostly as prescribed, but I was completely dependent on it and it disabled me for 20 years. By tapering off that and 4 other equally useless prescriptions, I got my life back! Facing the grief and trauma that led me to med and learning to heal that has helped me stay clean. 6 years is a long time -- you're on the right path now!

Heard what? The tannoy at the train station? 😂

HELL YES.

Congratulations. One day at a time.

I just was bored at school and randomly searched up “son of a bitch” Greatest search I ever made

Have you ever thought about writing? That's a good short read, I like the description and word usage. Poetic. I'm happy that this music helped you.

Also, good for you

Amen brother

Got chills reading this. 🤗

Agreed

210 days sober, I'll never drink again, I'm sure I went through my alcohol quota faster than most so I'm all done now

I am 63 yr old French non-drinker also--but we've certainly known guys who could've written this song (if they had Talent) & that's what makes this song/performance great--and a splendid hoot to boot!

@@JanetDaley-solo My favourite is Never Get Old....not sure if that's the exact title! Love it!

I'm an Irish non-drinker! This vibes of this song are 10/10! :)

Sober , 1 year, not sane.. sent it to my Kiwi friend who's sober for at least 8 years, hopefully more.. i stood up in my room and danced my arse off too.😉🥰...cracking song ..🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇳🇿💚

@@calummcmartin4628 No one says you have to be sane. Bloody well done, my friend. All the best. Bob McGowan (Not the Chair Circle!)

@@BobMcGowan-NotTheChairCircle cheers pal.. same to you.

The hardest time is the first month. If you still have your phone in rehab, I'll be here for you. Sorry youtube doesn't have direct messages anymore.

Thanks!

Why? U put yourself into ur situation, hope the best for ur recovery but am never gonna hold an addicts hand

@lslice5283 just friendly, not sure why someone would not want to help someone in need and letting the world know about it as well. I nice hug or a good hand shake never hurt anyone. I'm not really sure how to take that comment. I do certainly hope you enjoy your morning/evening/ night.

@@lslice5283 and please learn how to spell. Best of luck with your grammar.

Hi Lore 💐💐

Hell yeah it is

Gerry Lantz while I agree he's sensational, it's hard to agree with "original". He's doing stuff that's been done for a long time and has been done recently as well, but you might not have heard it. This music is an extension of R&B of the 50's and 60's with a good dose of Soul and pure Blues from generations before that thrown in for good measure. The result? Good old fashioned Rock & Roll. Sadly that's a genre that's been so spread out and corporatized as to not mean much of anything anymore. I'm sure that's what you meant with your comment, and you were just saying you haven't heard something like this for a while. Regardless, you don't have to look much further than what Jack White has been doing for the last decade or so to find a contemporary (no matter what you might think of the result). Either way, I felt the need to respond in case anyone else didn't know- there's stuff like this around- you'll just never find it on broadcast radio. Authentic, like you said, is the best way to describe it. He's clearly making music like it should be- from deep within his soul. And likely from some pain. That's why I think it creates such a reaction from people like us that are open to hearing that in our music.

Gerry Lantz I wouldn't say original. More so classic.

Compared to the rest of mainstream music nowadays it might as well be Sanskrit.

Gerry Lantz. a fucker u jew looking fucker well said and written inpress

Gerry Lantz If you get a chance to see them live, it's well worth it. I saw them last week here in Portland and they were AMAZING! Some of the best R&B I've heard in years!

Proud of you keep up the hard good work

One day at a time. Drank for over twenty years and today is two years, four months and two days.

SCREAM IT AS LOUD AS YOU CAN! Beat the bottle. You can do it. If it helps a stranger on the internet is proud of you. You got this!

Keep coming back... WE GOT THIS

Stay strong, sister

Congratulations!! More power to you!!

Good for you , not much ppl can escape the spirits you went on and won

It will all end up with a hit single?

Always play the tape forward brother

Bruh I was there 10 months ago. Doing so much better now. Do NOT miss those withdrawls.

While I've not had an issue with drinking, I do firmly believe that this song has been a public service to folks........and it's a great tune to boot!!

they got me.. two weeks in county, she asked if i was a drinker.. yes, yes i am.. she told me to hold my hands out... i drink, but not so much my hands shake... i get it tho

+Brenton Sullivan, when and where will he be in Boston??

One. Your son is a one year old.

Just say a year and a half i hate people that say the age of their baby in months damn

+Samantha Sarvat Strange my 1344 month old son had the same reaction...

+StrongManMattt 112. Your son is 112 years old.

Elidoransgar 🤗🤗

EXACTLY how I feel about this song!

Otherwise known as ever song "The Score" wrote.

ikr im havin a hair of the dog rn clappin to this tune i love it

Elidoransgar try 'when I'm drinking whiskey' by Rusty Cage, makes me cry

Proud of you too!! Effort 👌 💪 🙂

very proud of you my brother, I am embroiled very deeply in my battle with the bottle and have yet to conquer it. Congratulations to you sir, you did what must be done.

@Askew Hey Askew, don't give up! I'm 10 days clean after downing close to half a handle of vodka every day for close to 2 years. My withdrawals were so bad that I thought I was dying and ended up in the hospital. They gave me a prescription (some type of benzo) that I could slowly tapered off of over the course of 5 days. It is honestly the only reason I'm 100% clean right now. Once you make it through the physical withdrawals, the cravings will still be strong. Just remember to breathe and drink water whenever the stress starts welling up and don't reach for the bottle. It's one of the hardest things I've ever done but I feel a million times better. If I can do it anyone can.

Just got my 2 Year chip what a ride

@@Bazco86 congrats, I'm almost a month away from 1 month clean. It feels so good not being physically and mentally dependent on that poison anymore. I feel like myself again.

Excellent ring tone for judgemental and obnoxious relatives. Remember folks, healthy boundaries 😊

😂😊😂😊😂😊😂😊

LOL!!! Yup :)

Hellz to the yeah!

Dear and precious, the 1st time I heard this song I was in Austin listening to Sun radio. All of the people in Miss Judy house were initialed to have the opportunity to change the radio station if it started to yoldle. My house was a happy house that evolved into a trap house. Ohwell so much for coddling the homeless....but Sweetheart this song united the masses. I am enthralled and I wish I had the opportunity to meet your daddy

Thanks for the idea, I'm gonna demand it be played at my own funeral too! Much to the dismay of family I'm sure but who cares, I'll be dead, Hahaha!

We got a runner!

+JessicIt a Marino It reminds me in a strange way of Semi-Charmed Kind of Life. It's uplisting, but the lyrics are soulfell and sad Addiction is sad.

+Amanda Dillow Pseudo-soul

I read this comment right when the webber barbecue commercial said "stand the test of time" on TV. That was creepy lol.

American Heritage ? I think I took this on a whole different way being an opiate addict for over 7 years I just thought maybe he was withdrawing LOL I think I took this on a whole different way

+Mario Rivera i heard it as them singing about addiction as well :D but still a great song

Hi Kim💐💐

As a fat dude drinking hard for nearing 30 years, I'm about to turn 46. Shit. I want to stick around and see my kids grown up. I need to figure out how to put the bottle down.

R.I.P

Have a virtual hug from me.

Lubbock Texas sends PRAYERS may DAD R.I.P😎

R.i.p. to your pops🙏🏻 🍺

Awwww 🥰. Love that! God Bless. They say the pain gets less overtime. It truly does. I don’t know how. But it does. Or it at least seems to. ✌🏻 Byw, I’m 61. Your dad was truly in the good days! For me the 70s were just as good but that’s because I was a little kid in the 60s and didn’t know what I was missing out on, and still got to enjoy ALL THE MUSIC, having much older sister siblings!

I have it, it is awesome

I've about worn out the cd! :)

Nothing simple about it, my friend. Listen...

it was ment to say: back to the origins of blues not to discredit

Alessio S son of a bitch!

Yup. "Effortlessly cool." Hot.

I was coming here to write the same thing!! I LOVE his facial expressions and the way he moves (not to mention his voice!!) In their video for "I need never get old" I especially love the look on his face when the drummer is at the mike! I think he could have a career in the movies! and you are so right Prothope ..."effortlessly cool" indeed!!! He is my new crush!

He's being real. That's the thing.

+Adam 1 My guess would be that he's an active alcoholic.

Prothope ikr

Beautifully stated … 👍🏻

Bro, I never thought of it that way but you’re right, the blues are about the base emotions, not candy coated at all.

We know... God bless us all. It DOES bring hope and meaning!

Epistemologically speaking, I am 100% with you! I now realise why I love this song so much - and did not have a clue about the ramifications underpinning my preference for blues.

I didn't consider this a blues song, but you're right

amen pakachawa

This is so generic why do you think it's on commercials and radio this isn't "great music" it is mediocre at best.

then why are you here?

+porky6884 I was showing my fiancé that the song the Lipton commercial has swear words in it lol I heard it on the radio and thought i had to show her. Since it sounds all gospel but he says bitch a good amount of times.

There are so many good artists out there. Just because they aren't as mainstream doesn't mean that you can't find them, you just have to find the right communities. JD McPherson, Leon Bridges, Gary Clark Jr., ect....

SON OF A BITCH!

Everyone needs something to believe in. I believe I'll have another beer.

Actually its about quitting drinking. He says: Son of a bitch, give me a drink. One more night, this cant be me. Son of a bitch, if i cant get clean I'm gonna drink my life away. For 17 years I've been throwing them back 17 more will be bury me. That's definitely about struggling to stay sober.

I can relate. Been sober 17 years. Love this tune, as I do "Freedom" by Shinedown. Definitely a Blues Brothers vibe to it!

blues brothers is exactly what I see here, and I love it

Hope I reach your maturity one day. I'm in the throws of it but Ive talked to enough ex alcoholics to realise the problem. Wish me luck, I need it like the rest of us... Until then... Son of a bitch, get me a drink.

You all have the strength to stop anything within your lives but death! Alcohol brings death no matter what our minds tell us. Ignore those demonds and focus on you second by minute by hour by day by week by month by year...

The lie is dead. We do recover.

***** lmao that's cute an Italian party. and I saw that commercial yesterday and me and my dad started laughing and singing the song...

LMFAO Mexican party..... I loved it for the S.O.B.! now I know it's a drinking song.

Look into The Blues Brothers. It's a band that started as a Saturday night live skit & they were so good they made a movie & several albums as well as toured in the late 70's to 80's.

Where do you think country and black church music come from? Both originate in musical traditions of scots irish immigrants in the deep south. This tune hearkens back to that.

Well welcome to south darlin’. 🙂

@@brittonhucks5951 thanks 😊

@@StudSupreme wrong lmao

It gets better believe me. It’s always a day at a time.

stuart Borrero thanks man, oh I know. Got 4 years now, but only by the day. Never forget the “bugs crawling all over me”.

zackfielder The feeling of having shared in a common peril is one element in the powerful cement which binds us.

Listen to aic wake up great song

Wether it gets lost in the comments or not, glad it helped you! Keep on!

I think I'm at that point right now, that line just keeps hitting harder and harder...

@@NagnarInaste I can tell you that my life now is infinitely better than when I was drinking. If I can do it anyone can. Good luck to you.

So glad you're free of it , and still with us. Blessings upon you. Stay strong and stay well. Peace

1.5 years for me , I had to quit my body started to shut down and it scared the hell out of me!! But I'm thankful I quit, never felt better in my life!!!

​@@NagnarInastehow are you coming along?

Yes it is!

Well yeah it’s not directed at anyone it’s just used as an exclamation

He's directing it at the bartender

@@marctozie1092 I always spelled SUNOVABITCH

My mother would agree.

You just won the internet! I am dying here! :))))))

Bob smith may very well be disappointed in ya but I sure as fuck ain't

I feel you 👍

Yup

Hey man you do you. But I will say the better a reason for you to self medicate, the more it is a bad idea.

It *is* church music. It's dedicated to Bilious, the "Oh God!" of hangovers.

Rebel5012 Catholic Churches drink it up! Amen brother! Been drinking since first communion

Our 43-yr old alcoholic son is moving back to his mom & dad's for the zillionth time today. He's had 2 marriages ruined by drinking. 2 long term live-in situations ruined by drinking. 2 children, aged 21 and 15, who want nothing to do with him. I believe he became committed to drinking after his first episode of getting smashed as a teenager. So many "rock bottoms." So many, "this time sobriety for sures!" I would sure like to not do this anymore at age 71.

Just saw your post from 11 months ago. I hope things are working out for you & your son. I hope he finds a recovery program to give him guidance and support. Also, Al-Anon is a good resource for the loved ones of an alcoholic. There’s the saying about when an airplane is in turbulence, and the oxygen masks come down- you have to put the oxygen on yourself before you put it on your baby. In other words, you have to take care of yourself. Sometimes that can mean tough love. Wishing you peace and strength so that your journey may get easier 🙏

Blues Brothers at the end with the names on screen.

Very true.Been there.Whatever You do,label stays.Easy to be a doctor that way.😡

My son in law introduced this group to me. I am also in my 70's and I totally agree. Love the sound!

Yes they do have that feel

Dennis Fontana bless your soul darling. They don't make anything like they used to....and I'm only 41. Happy returns from Australia

same here, but not 70 yet, lol.

Amir Frost that's gold man😂😂

I'm glad I'm not the only one to hear the similarities.

@@tiltz7275 You're not. 30 years ago, this would have been a key or two lower and the Blues Brothers would be killing it!

I wish John was still alive. He could be the son of jake Blues in a sequel movie.

Great inspiration of the end of the Blues Brothers!

Congrats! Keep coming back!

Keep gettin Jelly. Not easy but just do it one day at a time. December = Lucky 13 for me

💜

10 years sober and counting!

we believe in you buddy 👊 💙 there's always a reason to keep fighting and keep going on.

Just keep that mind set brotha, I think you’ll find your way. I’m still trying to find mine at 26

@@jacobgutierrez9231 thanks man, best of luck to you on your path

Good luck to you brother. I'm on the path same as you and I think literally in the same boat. If it's any consolation, what I hear from the real alcoholics, awareness is the start of the road to sobriety.

@@UtterlyClueless1appreciate it man. best of luck to you in your journey as well. times ticking for both of us

have to upload it

As a previous client, from somewhere else, I approve this! 😅

I can't think of anything worse when detoxing 😂 just give them librium & let them sleep.

I hope it went great!

Maybe just play the song lol

U CAN do it! Praying for u...

Good luck!! You can get through it!!

Still praying, Nathaniel.the 😊

You can do this, Nathaniel. I don’t know what you’re going through with alcohol (my vice was cigarettes, and after open-heart surgery - 5x bypass - I quit cold turkey ten years ago), but you’ll make it through. Focus on the goal (kids, job, etc) on the other side of it.

i wish you the best of luck (L)

Daryl Jackson I was watching Titans and this came on. Shazamed it, and here I am. No regrets!

somehow reminds me of Nate from The Dead South...

Hope your keeping up a sober life. It isn't easy but it is so worth it!

I am an alcoholic, would love to stop but am really struggling. And when he says 17 years you can double it...

@@biglummox9862 Nathaniel Rateliff is a recovering alcoholic if he can quit you might be able to. GL I too had the same problem, I quit 40 years ago, need to think one day at a time, Get some help, it's out there.

semi-charmed life by third eye blind is another one like this

What about pumped up kicks?

Crash and Burn by Thomas Rhett is the same way

It's certainly up there.

"I hate mondays Boomtown Rats

yep

DTs

It’s made with real instruments and real musicians. It’s not Charlie Puth!!

That's not true, he played in a band called Born In The Flood and released and album in 2007, then began a "solo" career and released two albums one in 2010 and another in 2013. Finally he collaborated with the Night Sweats and released this album in 2015. So no this was not his debut album

i like the music but i wouldn't call this the epitome of creativity lmao people will say anything

@@mikigamba true, I've been listening to him since 2009 ish. But this is definitely his breakthrough album, which still shows OPs point about music industry being difficult. In fact, if I recall correctly, I read somewhere that he was almost at the point of giving up and this Night Sweats album would be maybe his last. But it was such a huge hit, he was able to continue. I personally like his solo efforts more. But he's super talented for sure.

My 37 year old daughter turned me on to this band, I'm 65, so impressed that they are for all generations...

Same :) Thank YOU! Keep smiling

Same. But it'll get better.

Me too friend. But we have each other and great music.

I'm getting so fucking tired of everyone fucking bitching FUCK YOU

For some reason your comment made me laugh. Thanks!

​@@ginachristine7721Thank you.

and dance too

Hell fucking yes, dude.

+Mrs. Brightside this is definitely Dean Winchester tune so kool

The visual... "bobblehead doll" 😂

It does get better, keep it up!

You good

Keep up the great work

Good on ya Grey. 3 months here. And yeah, it's good to be able to look back and think WTF was I??? Cheers!

Brought a grin to my face!

lol too funny sounds better her way lol

Someone should make that video....

4 years now lol

@@chiefthunderhorse4430 This year has been a bitch to a lot of people in recovery. You are not alone. Personally, I dont think people have to restart the clock after a blip. Its not the same as when we first started is it? When we first start our sober journey (I hate that expression, sorry) we do it from being at our lowest ebb, our very worst, rock bottom. We were drinking and it was killing us. Falling off the wagon isn't the same as that lowest ebb. Not even close. So I dont believe you should restart the clock. You have 10 years of work under your belt and to disregard it for a stumble is, well, bollocks. 10 years and a blip. Start from there. I mean damn, its only through my sheer stubbornness that I havent succumbed. Well, stubbornness and fear that if I start again, I won't stop. You have been incredibly strong for over a decade. A blip is allowed. Do not let people judge you for it. X

Who writes the rules to sobriety anyway? People who want to make money from our pain. This is why I've never been to a meeting or followed steps. I have 10 years and done it alone. Fuck rules when its your life in the balance

@@jellybathwater wish my partner could do it too. It’s hard living with someone who can’t. Keep well.

@@christine6878 Its especially hard for families of alcoholics. Heres the cold hard truth from a (recovered) alcoholic herself; You do not come before alcohol. Getting a drink is No1 priority. We don't think of anything else. We don't even enjoy the drink thats in our hands because we are worrying about the next. Loved ones do not take up space in our thoughts unless they are buying. In drink we are the most selfish people on the planet....and we don't care. You cant make him quit and for that matter, you cant use love/kids/even death to make him stop drinking. We know alcohol will kill us, so if we are not bothered about our own lives, so how do you think your life factors in our thoughts? You cannot make him quit for anyone. It doesnt work that way. Quitting for someone else never works. Hes got to quit because he wants to. Rock bottom is not real. People have this notion that if they wait for someone to reach a certain point, things will magically turn around. It almost never happens. Some people have a near death wake up call, this is true. But these are just stories. The hard fact is, rock bottom is death for most of us. If you enable him, he will use you until there is nothing left. He will drain your soul if it got him another bottle. Don't think this is a disease. It is not. And it will be removed from the DSM-V as such in the future. (There are plenty of arguments in the science community. Read about it) Alcohol is a choice. The disease part came because they want to sell sobriety (a multi billion dollar business). A disease is physiological. Like cancer, heart disease, etc. You need medication for diseases. For addiction, you just need to stop. You cant just stop having cancer can you? But, Alcohol causes disease, you can make your liver better by not drinking (I did)However, there comes a point of no return. Finally. There is a choice and its yours. I know you probably still love him but that man is no longer there. You are waiting for him to come back and the truth is, people rarely come back from this. I wish it were different for you. But like I tell all long suffering families (im a therapist now) You have to think about your life because at the moment, you arent living and eventually his addiction will consume you entirely. Im sorry for my frankness, but I have this overwhelming urge to not pussyfoot around. People need to know the absolute truth of what it is really about. I wish you all the luck in the world. I also recommend that you talk to someone about what you go through on a daily basis. He may be the alcoholic. But you are the one suffering.

Keith Willis don’t worry about anything my friend it doesn’t get you anywhere x

Water you doing here

Why

+HarborGamez It's an expression from the retards at Tumblr.

+sweatshopkids haha true

Same with me first time I heard it

I'm 79 and these days truly good musical talent like this is rare if it exists at all. NDR dared to be different and it's paying off. Back in the 50s, 60s & 70s I thought the great music would go on forever....but it virtually ceased to exist by the 90s.

In his younger days, Nathaniel did perform with a gospel rock group.
