I've loved this song for years, especially the cello part. Using a cello as the bass/rhythm guitar is incredibly creative and he holds down a great groove.
I was under the impression that the bass guitar was developed as a carry-on version of the cello and/or the bass, when amplifiers became widespread, and the big sound board was no longer necessary. Jazz and Swing bands still use the bass or a cello instead of a bass guitar.
@@SiqueScarface It was developed as a smaller version of an upright bass, with the same range, to allow bassists to move around onstage. The cello is tuned somewhat higher than a bass. It intersects with the bass range, so it can fulfill that function. It just can't go quite as low.
Every time I listen to this song, it feels like the first time. It just pulls you in starting with the bass laying down a rhythm followed by that great banjo roll. You feel like bobbing along when these dark minor vocals kick in with a little dance. It’s so absurd that you can’t help but smile. Such a brilliant song.
My 4 yr olds absolute favorite song, he can be mid tantrum and hears the whistling and he immediately starts trying to snap his fingers. Loves the cello, and banjo.
Scott's vocals always compliments Nate's gruff vocals. It was nates vocals that I fell in love with. I was fortunate to watch them live this past February
I've loved this song from the first listen. I love the odd but compelling voice of the lead singer, and I love their dance moves. It's just so incredible!
I'm not sure why, but this song/band (I only really know them for this song) always reminds me of the song "Anthem for the Already Defeated" from the movie "The Battery". If you've never heard of it, both the movie and song are worth checking out.
Yes, I wouldn't call those vocals beautiful, but they are strikingly different - this band isn't trying to look like or sound like everyone else and it just works - love everything about this song and the video.
I didn't realize we were talking about what was beautiful, because then I'd agree with you, and it's not that that I think they even really sound that similar, just more that I get like the same vibe from them that's very hard to actually describe.
I just love this group. Bluegrass? Blues? Folk? Country? It's everything. I love the voices. And as if all that isn't enough, they're Canadian (Regina, Saskatchewan). Thank you.
The video was shot in bits and pieces on location in various parts of Canada. I recognize city locations from Saskatoon, Regina, Winnipeg and Toronto. And possibly Brandon, Manitoba too. On top of that, there are prairie landscape shots near canola fields and streams. And, of course, a record store and many hotel rooms.
I just found a FB post from Two Brothers films. I was wrong about the locations other than Regina and Toronto. All of the shots are live, and as a different person commented, if it wasn't for some of the bystanders bopping in time to the music it would look like green screen work. To be fair, ordinary neighbourhoods in Regina, Winnipeg, Saskatoon and Brandon look a lot alike, so I was fooled.
Never heard of these guys but better late than never. The music (especially the bass line and banjo part), instrumentation, lyrics, and vocals really complement each other nicely. Well done!
Much of the video is filmed in Toronto, some parts within a short walking distance of my apartment. The CN Tower is clearly visible in some shots. The part you thought was New York is near the Yonge & College subway station, where I am just about to go for lunch after viewing this. Other parts are filmed in the Canadian Prairie Provinces. The band is from Regina, Saskatchewan, and so is the production company, Two Brothers Films, which made the video --- but they film in many locations. Toronto is a major film production centre. The director of this remarkable video is Zach Wilson.
This song introduced me to the Dead South and it is absolutely killer. Seen it many times and read many comments, but the video is hardly mentioned. The recording and editing is awesome. Watch it again and see how well the different cuts line up. No easy feat.
@@robertarisz8464thanks for the heads-up, thought it looked familiar! Also pretty sure the music shop is Amoeba Records and the old timey bar is Comstock Saloon, both in San Francisco.
The video seems to be filmed mostly in Regina and areas outside of the City with Toronto a secondary location and a few shots from inside Great Western Brewery as part of the Original 16 Brewery Sessions series. (look it up for great early Colter Wall and Dead South songs) The record shop is Vintage Vinyl and Hemp Emporium, the fountain is at Regina City Hall, the stream is Wascana Creek, the rural areas are someone's canola field likely a few miles from Regina, there are shots taken in the city's downtown area - but some of the more interesting city shots appear to be in Toronto.
@@calderqueen7987 The back alley is between Scarth & Hamilton Street, just north of Victoria Avenue. I believe the fountain is the copy of Trafalgar Fountain that's just east of the legislature. I think you have all the rest correct.
Absolutely loved that you did this, after first hearing this on release they very quickly became one of my favourite bands, and after seeing them live numerous times I love every song they have done, as always fantastic content from you, thank you for all your hard work.
I stumbled last year onto this group and loved it. Stumbling onto music or groups you never encountered is one of the absolute benefits of a site like RUclips. As soon as you hear something you like, you can search on for the same group or similar kind of music. I love those search adventures On the other hand I hope you will stumble one time into the fascinating world of the Afro Celt Sound System, thats a journey worth watching and especially listening
They did an interview with a festival in Denmark & talked about the lyrics & the recording of this video! The guy with short hair about got his head knocked by that big truck’s mirror that drove by so close!
For those not in-the-know this is a very traditional folk style song known as a "Murder Ballad" and is indeed a folk tale as she described. The most recognizable murder Ballad is Stack-O'-Lee aka Stagger Lee which was covered by darrn near everyone during the Blues-Rock era.
Have loved this band since I first heard this song.I am 40+ years a Metalhead but The Dead South's music transcends to anyone's music tastes flawlessly. Whether it's their original songs or covers, they own it with style. I could see this band opening fir #ironmaiden and absolutely killing it. Please someone in the #ironmaiden camp make this happen 🤘🏻🇬🇧🖤
I heard this song a while back and really enjoy their style. Bluegrass rocks! Thanks for reacting to it Beth! I also love your cover of Wicked Game as well. One of my way back favorites🥰
I saw them in desmoines. Killer show. I got all 3 vinyl they had for sale and I got them signed by one of the opening bands haha. Our party bus left during the last song tho so I could not get it signed by the dead south themselves.
Randomly came across these guys a while back via this song and I was pleasantly surprised not just with the song but the fact that they're from Regina, Saskatchewan where I spent over a decade living. Also the cellist doesn't always get to tour with the band because of his day job as an engineer. Probably the best song I've heard from them, and one of my favorites, is Broken Cowboy.
The Dead South is one of my favourite group. And the first song that I listened to from them and made me hooked to them is In hell I'll be in good company. I've never really cared for Bluegrass before, but this group is so good. "Broken Cowboy" is one of my favorite songs from them, but really, all their songs and covers are excellent. I hope I can see them live someday.
I LOVE their simplicity, and I absolutely prefer the sound of a wooden instrument over an electronic tone. They could drop down just anywhere and perform, no light show, fire, or electronic effects! I'm a folk fan, and enjoy their voices. YES! Like sitting around a campfire. One-on-one, personal.
I’ve been on 2 cross-country (USA) road trips and did event planning for my university after graduating and getting to fly all around the country, this video REALLY feels like that very specific feeling and it’s incredible!
Really when I heard this song for the first time I felt like I was around a campfire just like you said!!! I think this song in particular conveys that feeling that seems be universal!!! I say this because I'm from Brazil and, even here, the feeling I had was the way you described it. Sensational video... Congratulations!!! ❤❤❤
You need to take a look at Steve'n'Seagulls if you like the odder versions of stuff like this one. Start with Thunderstruck (it only has only 159Million hits). Or from The Dead South I recommend "Love Is Strange"
You are the first for me who recognize the cello(its not a bass) and give tribute beside the lead vocal and banjo the second singer who actually sing higher notes from a different octave..
Hi Beth, it is always a great pleasure to see you react like a little girl enjoying new toys. Kepp it that way. You really enjoy those video reactions and so do we
About two years ago this song appeared in my RUclips suggestions. I was thinking acoustic Metal maybe? I never listened to it. One day a few months ago I gave in and played it. Not what I expected , much better
This s😢ong reminds me of the Rocksteady number, "Draw Your Brakes", by the singer, Scotty, off of The Harder They Come album....thanks for turning me on to the music of some fellow Canadians...they really do raise some interesting crops in Saskatchewan. Fun fact: Jack Bruce, the great Scottish bass player for the Cream was classically trained on the cello.
So back in the before times, I was walking through the local supermarket and started whistling this song. From the next aisle over I hear somebody else whistling along, then another person joins in from the aisle on the other side of me. I walk to the end of the aisle with the other whistlers keeping pace in their aisles. We get to the end of our respective aisles, look at each other and start doing the snap-n-strut for a few beats then we all stop and go on about our business. Not a single word spoken, just a nod of understanding.
this band on my playlist! some funny lyrics! I been fascinated by a song, composed by a Brazilian composer named Accioly Neto, sung by hundreds of singers. its called "espuma ao vento, foam to the wind" and this is probably my favorite version of it, It's the Ney Mato Grosso interpretation. It's awesome, so clean! the man is in his 80's and still singing! check it out! the poem is something else too! totally worth knowing this piece! So many versions of this tune in many different voices and styles!
Its such a happy little song... until you pay attention to the lyrics... WOW! That's some serious emotional juxtaposition! The one guys voice reminded me a lot of the guy that sang "Devil Wears A Suit And Tie". Sooooper gravely! Fun choice Beth!!! 🥰
There's many names for what these guys are doing: Southern Gothic, Gothic Americana, Dark Americana, Dark Country, Deathgrass. Whatever you call it, it's just good shit. Nothing beats a good old murder ballad
Greetings from Cancuckia eh! Yeah these guys are legit! A lot of southwestern Ontario bands put on the clothes and play "country" music but as the saying goes they're All Hat No Horse. Neil Young meets Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem!
Nate Hilts sings the first vocal, Scott Pringle sings the high vocal, Danny Kenyon plays the cello and sings the verse and Colton "Crawdaddy" Crawford plays the banjo.
If there was a modern equivalent roots-rock-Canadiana equivalent to "The Band" it's these guys! Rick, Richard, Garth and Robbie were all from here in Ontario (Levon the drummer was from Arkansas) - innovative but also old-timey, totally outside the box!
Love these guys. Their covers of The Doors "People Are Strange" and "You Are My Sunshine" (Louisiana's State song) are outstanding.
I hadn't really understood just how dark "You are my sunshine" is until I heard their cover.
@@zelest And this rendition just makes seem even darker.
They also cover Chop Suey by System of a Down. It's so good.
@@zelestyes please
Another great cover they do is "House of The Rising Sun"

I've loved this song from the first listen. I love the odd but compelling voice of the lead singer, and I love their dance moves. It's just so incredible!
IMO One of best bands of last few years and live they sound soooooo good :)
I can't wait to see them again later this summer in Leipzig!
I'm not sure why, but this song/band (I only really know them for this song) always reminds me of the song "Anthem for the Already Defeated" from the movie "The Battery". If you've never heard of it, both the movie and song are worth checking out.

They don't have a single meh song,

The vinyl place is Vintage Vinyl in Regina
Did they really go to all those places or is it all green screen shoots?

@@tessjuelthey actually went there.
@@CandyxKushcould only be more Canadian by being the vinyl cafe.
This song is 10 times better than anything Taylor Swift ever did
Love the dead south , multi talented guys
Black lung from The Dead South would have been a perfect song to listen to.
I love Black Lung
@@MadAnthonyINot a phrase often said.
@@That_Guy5575 good point! I didn't realize how that sounded....lol.
The Dead South guys have the #1 cousin-lovin song out there...
Spaghetti is also really good
I love how passionate you are about music. If you ever have a chance to see them perform, Please, I beg you, avail yourself of the opportunity!!
Definitely another vote for checking out their rendition of "You are my Sunshine". It's....haunting....
Never heard of these guys but better late than never. The music (especially the bass line and banjo part), instrumentation, lyrics, and vocals really complement each other nicely. Well done!
I so love this song. They can harmonize so well together, and I love watching the video every so often.

"Harmony can be whatever you want it to be..." I love that. Music is always a personal thing, and if you're lucky others will like it too.
So cool ya found them, 😎 I've loved them for a couple of years now, glad they are being seen.
Awesome seeing these guys really start to take off. This song was pretty big in canada for the past couple years.
These guys came up on a Pandora channel I listen to and I can't get enough of them. That Bastard Son is my fave.

Love the way the cello is used as a bass. Works for me. !!!
Proud of our boys getting some recognition
I’ve followed the Dead South for years. Glad you liked them!
Thank you for your insight. I got hooked by this band/group years ago, and I loved your observations. I extra love your positivity. Thank you again.
One of the best live shows I’ve gone too!!! The come to the UK a fair bit, be sure to go check them out!
They did an interview with a festival in Denmark & talked about the lyrics & the recording of this video! The guy with short hair about got his head knocked by that big truck’s mirror that drove by so close!
Discovered these guys about a year ago and I'm from Canada never heard of them before but damn they're good. :-) :-)
They have an amazing cover of "You're my sunshine", if you want to hear it. They're so good!
Excellent reaction. The Dead South have some great songs and are well worth the time to do reactions to them.
Thank you, I loved this reaction and the sound of these guys is quite unique. The video clip dance is a highlight for me 😁
A fantastic band to see live. Such excellent energy.

I heard this song a while back and really enjoy their style. Bluegrass rocks! Thanks for reacting to it Beth! I also love your cover of Wicked Game as well. One of my way back favorites🥰
Bluegrass does indeed rock. This isn't bluegrass though. It's a cross between oldtime and roots. And it also rocks.
@@professornuke7562 Works for me. Great song at any rate. Thanks for the reply.
Heard them live right before Covid hit, was a great show. Honey You is my favorite of theirs.
how bout banjo odyssey ;) lol. one my favorite songs of thiers and its not as well know is Deep when the rivers high!

I love the Dead South. Absolutley cracking band live and really good on record.
First time I heard this a few years ago. I thought so simple and broken down to the basics. Just a pure form of music. Anywhere and second.
Great Band! Great Track! Great Reaction!!!! Thank You so Much ✌
This is such a great tune. I also love your cover of Wicked Game - listen to it often! Appreciate ya Beth!

I forgot about them ... Welcome back!
Never heard of them. I love it. Thanks for turning me on to new music!(for me)
Love this song. Berried treasure. Thanks for picking such a song that isn't so popular. Liked your reaction.
Great song some of it was in Toronto where I've been and Edmonton among many other in Canada
They sound great live! Saw them last Year.
Remember one of their firs5 concerts in Germany in a small pub in Hamburg 40 spectators including me . Now they are filling large areas.
I enjoy listening to them, that whistling is is next to impossible😂
Been a fan for several years now, great group that is highly under rated.
One of my favorite bands. I love southern gothic/dark bluegrass.
About two years ago this song appeared in my RUclips suggestions. I was thinking acoustic Metal maybe? I never listened to it. One day a few months ago I gave in and played it. Not what I expected , much better
Should do Broken Cowboy. Love that song. Especially a live version of it.

You should listen the acoustic live version of the song "Broken cowboy". Amazing harmonies!
Soooo good. Love it.
If you want to hear him sing then my fav from them is Broken Cowboy (great story telling too)
Broken Cowboy is another gem of theirs!!!
I love this song and especially this video... so much.
I love them. Beth, I like your analysis too!!
Literally choose them on Spotify and hit random. Never disappointed.
This song is my go to Karaoke jam!!!! Fantastic Canadian band!
I think you've hit the nail on the head ❤
I'd love to sit around a camp fire with friends and sing this... mates 😮
I live in the neighborhood where most of this was filmed
Just seen them last month at the Ryman!! What a show! What a Venue!
The best description of Nate Hilts vocals I've ever heard was "honey and broken glass"
They just released a new album and sweetly calmly is so good
Love your vibe Beth. Hope you are well and life is fulfilling.
The dead south group on fb just played this. So I came here to say hi!!
So back in the before times, I was walking through the local supermarket and started whistling this song. From the next aisle over I hear somebody else whistling along, then another person joins in from the aisle on the other side of me. I walk to the end of the aisle with the other whistlers keeping pace in their aisles. We get to the end of our respective aisles, look at each other and start doing the snap-n-strut for a few beats then we all stop and go on about our business. Not a single word spoken, just a nod of understanding.
My brother turned me on to these guys and as a dead head / folk music lover these guys just get it done!
its so awesome these boys were on my couch as this video hit the millions of views
This band single handedly got me into bluegrass! Look up broken cowboy by them. You'll love it.
Watched several of your reaction videos, but wow, your wicked game version was amazing! You certainly have a fan in me :-)
Just saw them at Drumheller Badlands Amphitheater two nights ago. Great show!
these guys are great some great videos of them live here on youtube
they are absolutely amazing live

Its such a happy little song... until you pay attention to the lyrics... WOW! That's some serious emotional juxtaposition!
The one guys voice reminded me a lot of the guy that sang "Devil Wears A Suit And Tie". Sooooper gravely!
Fun choice Beth!!! 🥰
You really have to react to the Bridge City Sinners next! "Song of the Siren", "Witches' Wrath" and "Devil Like You" would all be great choices.
There's many names for what these guys are doing: Southern Gothic, Gothic Americana, Dark Americana, Dark Country, Deathgrass. Whatever you call it, it's just good shit. Nothing beats a good old murder ballad
Ironic Bluegrass
I wish these guys would come to the mid-west area here in the USA. Love their style and sound.
My sister from a different mother! I’ll never forget you or the hundreds of gigs. RIP❤
For some reason this became a song that gets played every Christmas in my house..no idea why.
I saw them live last summer- fantastic!

fabulous job love... OMG yes plz do mumford ... much love dear ♥
Love love The Dead South, Check out Broken Cowboy, and You are my Sunshine :) they also did a cover of Chop Suey!
Nate Hilts sings the first vocal, Scott Pringle sings the high vocal, Danny Kenyon plays the cello and sings the verse and Colton "Crawdaddy" Crawford plays the banjo.
Best band my country has put forth since the Tragically Hip. I am All in on Dead South! Thanks for putting them up there today
little harsh, Simple Plan, Sum 41, Arcade Fire, Birthday Massacre?
