BT is an amazing song writer for sure. He is also the example of don't judge a book by its cover, but at the same time.. yeah that cover tells part of the story.
You know I'm Benjamin Tod's #1 fan! He has earned that confidence! He knows what he is here to do. When he did a video of this song with hippies&cowboy's he said it was just a song he wrote. A story for others. But like always, his lyrics come from dark deep cold lonely places, truth is bound inside the lie(see what I did there) Awesome job Burt!!!!! Thank you!
Seeing them live was the most beautiful show I've ever been to. No 2 people looked alike in the crowd. Different ages, different backgrounds, ethnicities, aesthetic-totally eclectic. But every single person in the crowd knew every word to every song and sang it so loud it almost drowned them out on stage. It was the only show I've ever been to where I felt almost more moved by the crowd than the performers. All these different people united by the depth and pain in the music. It was so beautiful. I'm selfishly heartbroken that he's going to stop touring.
its about his wife, and it pissed her off, but at the same time its just a song, he wouldnt want to leave her. think its more of that he is greatful that she stuck with him all along
I think it's him singing to his wife some day that he won't be coming home. People such as his self I think have a certain understanding of this world where they just know something someday will happen to them(him) where they won't be coming home. She pulled him from the clay and gave him a reason to live and go on with his life,but no matter what she won't be able to stop whatever might happen in the future. He has gone through so much in his life and kept on going,but I think he knows sooner or later it will catch up with him and whatever and whenever it happens no one will be able to stop it. This is just my own opinion and take on this song. I'd like to hear what others think about it.
Man, what an awesome tune! I've been asking for almost 2 years now, you say you like lyrics, than this is for you. Every line cuts deep, I don't think there is an live or fancy versions on RU-vid..just find some audio Benjamin Tod - "Who I'am Ain't Who I've Been"
btw.... the editing on this reaction was N I C E !!!! And you KNOW you in trouble bro.... first you be stealing her Corona Lights then you don't remember how many years you been married? "Dead man walkin" ol son! LYMI!
