31. Lived by the gun fast and angry for years. Now im a father and a husband but the rage is still there. Music like this makes me know im not alone. Lord save our souls
Being a father changes you but also, not really. My son is 13 now and he started asking me about smoking weed the other day but he said, "I know you never did it but did you know anyone that did?". Oh, if he only knew. I quit using dope the day he was born. Hope you're doing well ✌️
The truest statement ive heard in years. After losing my father, a man who passed that bitterness down. Lord help is all is the only thing I can think. Good luck
when I listen to this tune, I can see every one of them together playing this song in my mind. that would be something, spit shine was like an all star band of traveling American friends. Ashley sawing the fiddle and cutting that rhythm with her eyes closed and the grin she gets when it sounds awesome. Nicholas singing his heart out till his neck veins pop out, strumming the hell out of ol Caroline. Ben keeping perfect time on guitar while singing harmony like its his own song. I can feel the atmosphere in the studio and my six gun in my grip. it is soo vivid in this song, like feeling a ghost beside me. that would sure be an incredible sight to have seen spit shine together doing what they do best. I love every one of y'all and your music so much. I will look for you all one day riding that big freight train that flies in the sky!
I saw Ashley, Ben, and Matt Heckler in Tulsa at the Mercury Lounge on the close of their tour earlier this year. I spoke with Matt and a few fans. I called it The Grace of Good, Trains, Pains, and Record Deals. www.reallibertymedia.com/2019/05/a-ponder-gander-podcast-blog-2019-05-24
Totally agree. Pretty sure Shannon is singing background on this though. Which makes it even more gut wrenching. Considering Nicholas was her soulmate.
I put a pistol to my head playing this song couldn’t stomach pulling the trigger that night. The next morning the trigger assembly fell out when going to grab for it to put it away.
@@williamfoster8131 I know. Sorry about that comment man. I was drunk. I think i thought he was talking about Ben Tod, even though it clearly says Nick. I feel like a dick! Thanks for letting me know. I totally forgot about that.
So hauntingly, scarily beautiful. Makes me sad, I'll never get to experience spit shine live. Must be so bittersweet for Ben especially, lost dog found fame but they weren't meant to find it alone. I hope everyone finds peace, loosing someone so close is awful.
Lyrics: When I get my gun Oh, I’m checkin out Out of everything Oh, I’m going down Ain't no one I love That I’ve treated well I’m holding on to you And staring into hell I’m holding on to you and staring into hell Bullet for me Bullet for you I’m going down You’re coming too I’ve cut you down Baby its no lie Next time we have it out We’re both gonna die Next time we have it out we’re both gonna die I’ve got my medicine Baby, it won’t do Every hurt I have Taken out on you I’m broken down Baby, I’m no good Don’t know why you don’t leave me When you know you should Don’t know why you don’t leave me when you know you should When I get my gun I'm cashing out Oh, Out of Tennessee Where the noose is runnin’ now I can hear it in your voice See it in your eyes All the pain I’ve caused All my dirty lies When I get my gun Oh I’m checkin out Out of everything Oh I’m going down Ain’t no one I love That I’ve treated well I'm holding on to you And staring into hell Oh, I’m holding on to you and staring into hell
Sober for six months, going on seven. When I hear this song I hear my own personal hell I was trapped in. It doesn’t pull me back down, just keeps me going. You got reasons to keep fighting Don’t ever give up. No matter how much these fuckers get you down no matter how much it feels like they kick you to the ground. Throw that bottle against the wall and start kicking right back.
That s song gives me chills. Reminds me of a few friends I've lost from the military and law enforcement sides of my dual career. I can only dream of the life Lost Dog (hopefully) still lives. This is some of the most beautiful music I've heard. As a fellow musician who dreamt of this life before starting a family I wish you all the best! Nate LewisIndiana
Came across this group after reading up on Benjamin Tods story, such a shame what happened to Nick, I’m grateful I came across this group. Solid music.
im sure i missed some, but heres what i got of the lyrics (edited from comments) When I get my gun Oh, I’m checkin out Out of everything Oh, I’m going down Aint no one I love That I’ve treated well I’m holding on to you And staring into hell I’m holding on to you and staring into hell Bullet for me Bullet for you If I’m going down You’re coming too I’ve cut you down Baby its no lie Next time we have it out We’re both gonna die Next time we have it out we’re both gonna die I’ve got my medicine Baby, it won’t do Every hurt I have Taken out on you I’m broken down Baby, I’m no good Don’t know why you don’t leave me When you know you should Don’t know why you don’t leave me when you know you should When I get my gun Im cashing out Oh, Out of Tennessee Where the noose is runnin’ out (????) I can hear it in your voice See it in your eyes All the pain I’ve caused All my dirty lies --------- When I get my gun Oh I’m checkin Out of everything Oh I’m going down Ain’t no one I love That I’ve treated well Im holding on to you And staring into hell Oh, I’m holding on to you and staring into hell
@@chadadams2407 hey is there anyone music to find from them? I'm new to them I found them late 2021 and I cannot get enough. I hope that Nick singing his soul put for eternity may his soul be at peace
I do, but I'm too drunk to explain. If you go to my channel, under my cover of this song you'll find my interpretation of it that I typed out for somebody else.
@@joshharris3784 Don't mistake Hell for some personal fantasy, that's how you get trapped with no way out. Some of us understand what I'm talking about.With any luck you won't.
I’ve seen hell. Just because your experience didn’t lead you to music doesn’t mean it won’t lead others to music. Everyone’s journey and fall is different. Don’t be so arrogant as to think you know the only road.
