Sturgill Simpson - Make Art Not Friends (Official Audio) 

The world dosn't realize just how freakin great this album is...

No song in recent memory captures the 21st century melancholia so well.

This song... hell, this album... windows down on a cool night, headlights disappearing into the dark, playing through an old Pioneer CD player in a car made before the technology existed to record such amazing music... fuck yes.

I don’t think I’ve ever heard an album that makes you want to listen to the whole thing in one sitting each time before.

Shout out to all our people suffering from PTSD! STAY STRONG, 5/4 BE WITH YOU

Chris Stapelton: "I'm crossing genre's!" Sturgill Simpson: "Hold my beer."

So, I never heard of this guy until I watched this Netflix anime. His voice is so solid and the lyrics on point, I had to research. Call me "late in the house," but DAMN! This guy is an awesome! And, for him to take this unbeaten path just shows this is a true artist. Listening to his older stuff now... in-between this and "A Good Look!"

He’s one of those rare artists that’s making something fresh. The Nashville sound is dead and he’s here to give us a revolution musically.

Sturgill Things. Stranger Simpson. Good shit man.

The whole album is a damn masterpiece. I’m not impressed by any new music very often but this right here made me feel something that I haven’t felt since I don’t know when. And I am grateful... I can’t tell you how many time I’ve listened to this album, it’s Fn great and you better stick with this sound!!! It’s waaaaaayyyyy better all though I do love “Turtles all the way down” after searching other songs.....god bless

Lookin' out the window At a world on fire Flames see the end is near Seen all the sights Tired of the lights So you can let me off right here This town's getting crowded Truth's been shrouded Think it's time to change up the sound Yeah, the wheels keep turning The flames get higher Another cycle rolls around Face in the mirror's all skin and bone Bloodshot eyes and a heart of stone Never again, I'd rather be alone Think I'm gonna just stay home And make art, not friends I love saying "No" to all the "Yes" men Just to see the look on their face I love how everybody knows what's best But nobody knows their place Sucker every second, stack 'em up to the sky For every winner there's a hundred that die So you get yours, stay out of mine Here's to the memories, where do I sign? Face in the mirror's all skin and bone Bloodshot eyes and a heart of stone Never again, I'd rather be alone Think I'm gonna just stay home And make art, not friends Oh it's getting hard to find a good friend So close the door behind you Falling when more come in Nobody writes, nobody calls Nobody bother 'cause I'm over it all Face in the mirror's all skin and bone Bloodshot eyes and a heart of stone Never again, I'd rather be alone Think I'm gonna just stay home Think about my friends

My favorite song of 2019. "I love how everybody knows what's best But nobody knows their place"

This album will go down in history as a groundbreaking classic. Welcome to the 21st century, friends!!!

Anyone else feel that Sturgill Simpson leveled up after making this album?

I love this shit. Best marriage of music and imagery since The Wall.

Way to throw a wrench in the machine. I'm digging it.

This track could be 3 hours long and it would still grab me every second of the way.

Duuuuuuude. I am officially obsessed with this song. That guitar sound is on point. And driving beats are best. Can't wait to hear this live. Keep it up wildman.

If u haven't seen Sound and Fury on Netflix, well...just do so.😁😘

"I think I'm just gonna stay home and make art, not friends." relatable...

The brightest spot of an amazing album. I've probably listened to this track a hundred times. Modern classic.

How can a song be SO futuristic and old school at the same time? Crazy good!❤

I've been playing this song in my head since I first heard it. As a lifelong musician - it feels *Real Good* to hear a new album that rivals the Wall. And speaks to our times like a MF

The whole album just rocks. Sturgill is the most talented artist that apparently nobody ever heard of. I guess guys like him don't suck up to the Nashville record execs...thank God. What a treasure he is.

One of the best songs I've heard in long time. The song takes me back.

Sturg is The True definition of a musical genius.

I listen to this album driving around Denver in my hellcat shit box dodge. I love it

Thank you for making this album. This was exactly what I needed in my life, at the exact right time. Powerful stuff. Keep killing it!

Sturgill Simpson's music is so superior to what's getting around. Real and powerful.

Starts out Pink Floyd, turns to an arcade fire vibe and all the while sturgill's sound shines through. What a song!!!

Like many of you, I stumbled upon this one night sifting through Netflix. This is amazing art, music and lyrics... frankly blown away with the soul and punch with in... I can no longer say that modern music is empty

The perfect Coronavirus quarantine song!

I'd like to see the record company's face after their first listen.

Are you f*#!% kidding me. Pure genius this song is insane. The whole album is great. The first country artist I can listen to ever. Kaboom!!

Bowie like direction change, stay fearless Sturgill, greatly appreciated

Alll this incredible new mixed sound and the best part is his damn voice singing those lyrics.

He is an artist pure and honest. Love this dude!

When the guitar kicks in it feels like blowing smoke out of your lungs

I just heard him on Joe Rogan’s podcast and had never heard his music before...and...woah

The man can't be stopped. Pure fire on this album so far, love this new direction! So hyped to see this tour.

Best shit released last year.

My new favorite song...

Wow Sturgill, I knew you were good but this one sets you in in different class!

This album dropped at the perfect moment in the Zeitgeist. It's the antidote I needed.

After watching this on Netflix I couldn't help but think of heavy metal. already a classic great soundtrack and movie 👍

Some Depeche Mode vibes in the intro..."Sea of Sin"....I can totally hear Dave Gahan's voice roll-in.

And just when you think you got Sturgill figured out,,,

Keep making that art, brother- man

I was at a club last night for a folk music show. I kept thinking, "Id love to see Sturgill here at this affordable, small venue, up close like this." Then I realized that Sturgill Fkn Simpson and his band would incinerate the entire city block. This man needs stadiums to handle his sound.

THis damn song gets better every time I listen to it

This might be my favorite off the new album🔥🔥🔥

This album sold me when I watched it on netflix. It's damn near perfect!

God I am so glad I found this artist. Sturgill, what you're doing is revolutionary. Keep it up, man.

Such a jam. This song is dope

My favorite song from the album

This on vinyl is SPECTACULAR

Honestly this is one of the most chill yet somber songs that I've heard in a long time. Excellent song to get stoned and then kinda sad to.

Just download the full album. Sound and Fury = THE $HIT!

I've barely started listening to this guy so I don't know much about him, but anyone who can make a song that reminds me of the cars is really good in my book 👍 and props to who ever the keyboard player is.

Yeah, my life needed this album right now too! Thank you, Sturgill.

Plague of 2020 mandatory listening.

this is probably one of the greatest songs ever

I can't get enough of this.

Nice Cars vibe happening on this song.

This dude took country to another galaxy

Carpenter Brut is so mad Sturgill got a Netflix movie before he did. Edit: Ric Ocasek is smiling down on Sturgill from heaven with this riff!

This entire album is UNCONTESTED. Loving his new sound.

This song resonates ❤

Talk about a song that really speaks to you. Beautiful, true art

Great track - every time after listening to this my ears wants an earlier Gary Numan piece.

You. Are. On. Another. Level. Thank you 😊❤️!

What an amazing song. Pure genius... Love this mans work!!

Oh my m'er eff'in G! This shit just changed my life. Thanks Stergle.

Tangerine Dream

Eat a handful of mushrooms and slap on this album so wonderful

Just saw Sturgill live this past weekend and he focused mostly on new stuff. He blew the fuckin roof off that place

some of sturgil's songs have hit me so hard its like what he's saying' and the way he says it is like he knows exactly how i felt, or feel right then. Iits mind blowing. Thank u sir

Favorite off the new record!

Tbh this is the greatest thing I discovered on Netflix by sound and fury and I love it like it's part of my life!

That's it, i'm gonna drop everything and go watch you live as soon as you start your next tour. This is just too fucking good.

this song will be played at my funeral!!!

This song is the theme to the chapters of life that I have lived and the one I haven't yet! I can't wait!

I came here after I saw a t-shirt of Sturgills worn by the actor at the bowling alley in episode 3 of American Rust. It was trippy and made me curious. This is pretty freakin awesome music!

This album is his Dark side of the moon.

Who would have thought a midlife crisis could sound so good

Fantastic new album. Love it!!!

I can't wait to see this album live. I love where Sturgill is going and where he has been. See you in AZ, or CA if need be.

I had a life changing DMT experience while listening to this song on the weekend. This song will be burned into my mind for some time.

What this song just did for me is indescribable

I can say now that it has been a little while since this album came out... that this is literally my favorite song.. ever in the existence of repayable music. Thank you Sturgill Simpson for continually cranking out bangers whether they are country.. or what ever the hell this is.. I love it

Sturgill probably drives the people who have to classify music to the edge of madness.

Mr. Simpson they say it's the silence in music that's hardest to place but you sir create a modern symphony out of thin air. Badass

All soooo good!

Excellent stuff. Country boy takes rock guitar riff and adds modern-sounding deep synths on a really well-written song (nice bridge). If he keeps this vibe, he can leave that country stuff in the rearview mirror.

This is what you get when you don’t give a fuck about the music industry and create what you, as an artist love. Sturgill is the man

This song inspired me to start making art seriously again. It blew my fucking mind.

Fucken some of the dopest music around, straight up.and to pair it with the animation is classic man.dude created something hella timeless

Sound and Fury is f****** badass holy crap the movies even cooler Sturgill Simpson you definitely did amazing job holy cow it's a masterpiece

It really is great. Sturgill, though I disagree with him on some things, is a special artist. Art of real value to me.

this is honestly beautiful
