Songwriter Reacts: Whiskey Myers - Broken Window Serenade 

Ballad of a Southern Man

There's many sides of Whiskey Myers. Slow songs like "Stone" to all out bangers like "Gasoline" This band is phenomenal live.

"Bury my Bones" is another great song....too many to list really

Yesssss! Finally!

Stone

I can totally hear the Texas in them. Thanks for that and I'm pumped about diving in!

I wonder if they have bass tabs for this song ! I lost a several close friends to drug addiction ! I’m a bass player and I would like to learn or make a bass line for this song .

Elkhart,Texas actually

Absolutely. I can and do the same thing

Cody Cannon is from Neches

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss Rusty.

@@SongwriterReacts Thank you so much brother.

I lost my twin sister to an OD in April 2018. She was 19. There are good times and bad times but some songs will just instantly remind you of them. I'm sorry for your loss Rusty.

Fallen star by flatland cavalry will get down deep in you. I teared up. But it’s more optimistic and will make you think positively about the legacy your brother left.

Praying for you, and your family. Sorry for your loss brother. 🙏

Congrats on 104!

Love that lyric and great suggestion!

I am 60 so I'm not been listening as long as you but like you I assume music is more than just music . There are those who think that song a song as just a song, and yeah that is okay . But I have been building my soundtrack for sixty years . and was allowed to listen too or purchase their records so, yeah was late to 70's really miss them. Okay you said about the lyric's and chorus , I was just wow . I listened to this once and then I had project that had to start away from a means to listen any tunes and at the end of that period 48+hrs this song was on a continuous loop in a good way ."Kept sing that I thought you should know" and humming what bars of the song and the harmonica , sometimes it brings tears and okay a songs can heal if the person in the place Idk really seams like I'm creepy I'm not that is great because for me its the love the pain and loss , when you find yourself there all of those emotions I just mentioned in the wrong space that a world imploding could be. A song that fits it takes you away from all bs that life, sometimes break you and you never resolved or fixed . I'm sorry this band is hot and most of their tunes are equally awesome, sorry for the book you won't this probably and that is fine. I just felt that you are the first person that saw the story in the song it is tragic sad , but it fits. Okay if you haven't deleted this by now Hey have a great day when you read this or try to , Thank you I'm not sure why but wanted to try and whatever no not looking for a date a friend ? maybe again thanks ! CRAZY OLD GUY.....LOL.

That's so cool! I'll add that to the list!

I lived in Palestine for yeeeears.and worked in Tyler alot and been to the Time Out 2 times lol

They are from Palestine, Tx

Yup. I live literally 1 minute from the Time Out. (Un) fortunately it closed at the start of covid and never reopened.

This has played out 3 times in my life.. and it's killed my soul so far... I don't even go outside anymore.

You got it Justin! I'll for sure check that out.

Great song!

It's a special one for sure.

Same Russ!

She's still somehow alive, but I don't know how

Really appreciate that man. Too many families are suffering with it and it's so hard. Hope you're doing well!

Oh...and that sign off of yours “see y’all down the River” is AWESOME.

Really appreciate the comment Benjamin. It's such a hard topic to discuss but I think so many of us have experienced it in one way or another. I wish there were words of comfort but it seems like it's just a lot of hurt out there man.

@@benjamminnw Haha thanks man! I'm trying to come up with things to say regularly that fit the channel. Recently I've been saying we're a channel that "makes and celebrates Americana music". Does that sound too cheesy?

@@SongwriterReacts that’s one of the reasons I follow your channel man. I am just starting (approx 2 years) to follow Americana music. I never knew the genre existed though it’s EXACTLY what I listen to/play. The other genre I connect to is ‘Red Dirt’. I feel like it’s got a lot of similarities. Truth be told, I really don’t care, per se, about genres. I have a pretty eclectic ear and if the music is good or the lyrics are good I’ll listen. Hell, there’s even a rap song or two I relate to. Haha I love the fact that you’re showcasing Americana and that you’re promoting the sound. I just thought the “see y’all down the River” line was PERFECT for a sign off. If you don’t use it then I will on my channel. Haha Keep on keeping on man and I’ll keep watching. I’m looking forward to more covers and originals too. We ever get outta this C19 crap and I might have to come down and check out a live show.

It's so weird that I've never heard of them... I'll check that one out. Thanks Pat!

@@SongwriterReacts absolutely, also just wanted to say how much I like your channel, very awesome

Thanks so much for the sub! That's a really beautiful way to put it. Thanks for sharing that!

@@SongwriterReacts For a more upbeat and cool Whiskey Myers song check out American Outlaws. Keep making I'll keep watchin

@@Morningstar818 you got it! I really appreciate the support and kindness!

I meant it sincerely . You are incredible . Your music , your voice . This song just shines . It makes me so sad , but it also leaves me feeling like there is always hope ❤️

I missed em. How was it?

@@SongwriterReacts Fantastic as always! Love catching them when they come through Mississippi!

I'll check em out. Thanks!

@@SongwriterReacts That would be amazing. Thank you so much!

East Texas Palestine tx

Thank you for watching!

Added! Thanks Michael!

Haha you are the man!

Cody cannon the man singing it wrote it

One of my favorite John Moreland lyrics: "You talked just like East Texas Looked like an angel from the lord."

I've heard of him but haven't yet. Any particular song?

@@SongwriterReacts Hippies and Cowboys would be a good one to start with. He has a pretty decent sized catalog of songs at this point. He just released a live from Red Rocks album that's pretty good.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LtZTjz40hoA.html

@@SongwriterReacts also check this guy out John Moreland ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-euy4A5niG8Q.html

@@louisreynolds7925 Can't wait to hear it!

@@SongwriterReacts Hippies and Cowboys, Must Be the Whiskey, and Same Kind of Crazy as Me are all fantastic songs. It's kinda hard to get it wrong with Cody Jinks!

Koe sings songs for girls who think that child support is "Financial Stability".

@@mattburnett2592 😂😂😂🤣

I felt the same and thought about it every time this video comes up (at least 5x). They do die younger, but not as young or suddenly as with heroin. He did have a line about looks fading and onr about Hollywood. I thought it was the junkie look, but maybe he meant time and pretty girls looks fading before they hit it big. Maybe I just nitpick the song/story because of the images of the people I loved that it put in my head the first time I heard it.
