    I first heard this song years ago on an indie radio station at 4am. I was driving home from my 3rd shift job, through a deserted area of downtown. It roared through the airwaves and lit a fire within me. It saved me from a very deep depression. I don't know why most things happen, but I will be forever grateful that this tune just happened to crackle through the ether that night. If anyone reading this is having a rough go at it, do not give up. You can find yourself again. I promise.

    First time i heard this song was on a mexican coc xanax & 4 loco binge in Houston tx. Setting in a parking lot wanting desperately to get clean, this song plays. "My heart is breaking, hands are shaking, bugs crawling over me" described exactly how i felt. & in that moment i didn't feel alone. .
    4 weeks later tx Marshalls showed up at my door.
    Thank God for redemption & supernatural transformation. I'm now 6 years clean.

      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!

    Rateliff and his gang are nothing less than sensational. One of the most original sounds in ages. His music and lyrics reek of authenticity. Love this stuff. Gets you where you live. If you any soul at all ... and "Need Never Get Old" should be the national anthem for boomers (and everybody else for that matter)!

    • @kinetikx
      @kinetikx 8 лет назад +3

      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.

      @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.

    This tune epitomizes why I love the blues. It's a genre of music that deals in the unvarnished truth about the basest of human experiences, urges and emotions, and it somehow does so with poignancy and even humor while conveying wisdom. It's raw and honest. If you don't believe me, read the hundreds of responses here from alcoholics to whom this song speaks. It's far more than a rockin' tune.

    I love this song! It’s so moving. Really sums up the struggle. ‘Bugs crawling all over me!’ The book “Living Sober” helped me a lot in the early days. It has basic & concrete advice for how to stay away from that first drink, just for today. It took me 2 years to get 90 days. Then I had a year sober. Then I had a year again. Then I had 2.5 years. Today by the Grace of God I have 20 years. I still have “just today” though. I am so grateful to be alive and free today. It gets easier. Also better than I could have ever imagined. It’s a new life, a different life, & I’m a different person. God bless those still sick & suffering. You are not alone.

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.

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 🙏

    Love this -- great upbeat music and dark lyrics. After watching my brother-in-law *literally* drink his life away (died in the hospital with DTs) and coming damn near doing so myself -- rings real true to the experience of trying to get clean. It's weirdly comforting -- kinda like the way they play upbeat music at jazz funerals in NOLA.

      @@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

    • @jellybathwater
      @jellybathwater 3 года назад +5

      @@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.
