His voice is what drew me to this band when my boyfriend played Bitter Moon for me for the first time. I instantly fell in love, especially with Lost River ❤️
Really is a shame that after 5 years this video only has ~185K views. Some of the most talented musicians around. Love the clarity of of this recording.
@Pep I don't know, I remember his voice being even deeper the time I heard them in 2006 or 7. They blew The Reverend Horton Heat off the stage that night.
Look in Adam's eyes when he sings. He's somewhere else. He's in his head and back in that moment when he was thinking of what was going on that put the words to this song. What an amazing band I hope to see them live some day.
great music from talented people, for more than 5 yrs now I've been giving emphatic prescriptions of MBD to any and all. some needed it more than others.....none were disappointed.
Cars lined up the street A procession for the thief The men were restless and the women howled As they professed their grief A smirk was lying on his lips And in his hand a rusty flask Even in death he'd forced a smile I oughta give him his dues for going out like that When you've walked through the valley Saw the face of death And you've paid your debts Well then, is there anything left Is there anything left When you've settled up Is there anything left I came to pay a false courtesy So you couldn't get the best of me But the grief hung in the air and mingled with the sweat I presumed to know your inner workings, but I just guessed I never thought much about the man He was always just drifting along But a couple hours in We were drunk as sin I was wrong, I was wrong about him I came around, I came around, I came around I took you for a hanger-on But the way those folks all wept You must've been doing something right To move the company you kept The drinks kept coming and I loosed my tongue And I talked a little shit But your friends just laughed and chimed right in Telling yarns so good it made me quit I never thought much about the man He was always just drifting along But a couple hours in We were drunk as sin I was wrong, I was wrong about him I came around, I came around, I came around I came around, I came around, I came around The room started reeling I got the feeling I read you wrong Then another bottle of gin Break out the bar brawl again You were the reason for them By the time the sun was at its feet Everybody there was pissed And I can say with some degree of certainty The old bastard will be missed I thought your life was nothing more than one long grift Now I sit weeping by your coffin Clutching a bottle in my fist I came around, I came around, I came around I came around, I came around, I came around I came around, I came around, I came around I came around, I came around, I came around I came around, I came around, I came around I came around, I came around, I came around
12 years ago I saw a band called Little Joe Gould. To think they would become Murder By Death. FUCKING A I MISS THE MIDWEST and shows at the Metro in Chicago. I think that's where i saw them. FUCK i love this band.
this song is one of my favorites...it hits me so hard. every time I hear it, it gives me chills. it reminds me of one of my good friends and it'll always have a special place in my heart. rest in peace nick, I love u man
an entirely under rated group of musicians here. been a fan since who will survive and what will be left of them? so like 10 years now or so. came across them when i was hitchen through the country. haven't stopped listening to em since
I introduced my dad to the band, he agrees the singer sounds like Johnny Cash. He also loves the band. His favourite song is Lost River, as is mine.

Love his voice! Reminds me a bit of young Johnny Cash. Good song!
Same.
Listen to Lost River. I literally thought Johnny Cash was singing that lol

Wow I just started listening to these guys, there friken AWESOME. Where the hell have I been?
What a voice
Man crush activated
one of the absolute best. So underrated and unfairly unknown.
I agree, I’m just now finding them. It’s daunting how unknown they are as a musician.
when they play this song at concerts, an infectious energy takes over. it's something to experience.
I REALLY want to hear a good live, recorded session of this band, today, singing their old songs, devil in mexico, killbot 2000.....
One of the best bands on the scene right now. Seeing them tonight in ATL
i really hope you guys could put this recording on spotify because this singing and cello is godly.
I remember meeting the cellist after a performance of theirs I saw. Just wonderful people and great music
One of my favorite of their songs! Great version
Even though every song revolves around mortality from this band, they capture the essence of living more so! I love me some MBD!

Cars lined up the street
A procession for the thief
The men were restless and the women howled
As they professed their grief
A smirk was lying on his lips
And in his hand a rusty flask
Even in death he'd forced a smile
I oughta give him his dues for going out like that
When you've walked through the valley
Saw the face of death
And you've paid your debts
Well then, is there anything left
Is there anything left
When you've settled up
Is there anything left
I came to pay a false courtesy
So you couldn't get the best of me
But the grief hung in the air and mingled with the sweat
I presumed to know your inner workings, but I just guessed
I never thought much about the man
He was always just drifting along
But a couple hours in
We were drunk as sin
I was wrong, I was wrong about him
I came around, I came around, I came around
I took you for a hanger-on
But the way those folks all wept
You must've been doing something right
To move the company you kept
The drinks kept coming and I loosed my tongue
And I talked a little shit
But your friends just laughed and chimed right in
Telling yarns so good it made me quit
I never thought much about the man
He was always just drifting along
But a couple hours in
We were drunk as sin
I was wrong, I was wrong about him
I came around, I came around, I came around
I came around, I came around, I came around
The room started reeling
I got the feeling I read you wrong
Then another bottle of gin
Break out the bar brawl again
You were the reason for them
By the time the sun was at its feet
Everybody there was pissed
And I can say with some degree of certainty
The old bastard will be missed
I thought your life was nothing more than one long grift
Now I sit weeping by your coffin
Clutching a bottle in my fist
I came around, I came around, I came around
I came around, I came around, I came around
I came around, I came around, I came around
I came around, I came around, I came around
I came around, I came around, I came around
I came around, I came around, I came around
favorite band ever
12 years ago I saw a band called Little Joe Gould. To think they would become Murder By Death. FUCKING A I MISS THE MIDWEST and shows at the Metro in Chicago. I think that's where i saw them. FUCK i love this band.
Came upon them in 2008, been listening ever since.
Same as, changed a lot of things...
Hands down the best performance those two have ever done...
this song is one of my favorites...it hits me so hard. every time I hear it, it gives me chills. it reminds me of one of my good friends and it'll always have a special place in my heart. rest in peace nick, I love u man

Another great offering from the van. I keep comin' around to it.
Nothing like talent
Still listening to this! Fucking love it 🖤🦂
If you guys ever make it to Maui, please let me know! I love your sound, and would love to see you live!!!
Going to see them tomorrow night in Brooklyn, can't wait!!
Sarah is so unsung.....I heard her speak once .....it was memorable.... cheers friends
Thank you Gaslight Anthem, for having them open... I would have never found this INCERDIBLE band!
+Justin Garman Music I never would have either. Saw them in Pittsburgh, now one of my new favorite bands.
LOVE THIS BAND
If I could give this two thumbs up, I would.
+Mindy Mascaro well, now you have three thumbs up : )
Man, Adam changed his voice so much... still a fan of their first two albums, but how can you not love them anyways?
Oh wow, your voice live was a pleasant surprise.
Perfection perfected
Saw them last night in STL, they put on a good show!
Under rated
and very well mixed. love the cello.
I also pictured a big bearded man ala Jeff Bridges as the singer ! Awesome vid and sound !
I’ve got most of their albums. Had no idea they were so young.
clarity of movements
the audio is clean and rich as hell
Lovely, insightful, great perspective and progression. Hope to see you at the Cannery!
Holy shnikies, I forgot about this band. WHY!?
Thank you Montecristo, its all about the rotations
What's your favorite track from Murder By Death's Jam in the Van?
This one !
Just saw this guys live. Fucking awesome!
that BOWL CUT THO!
No Oath, No spell!
This has some serious young Johnny Cash vocal vibes
I guess 17 people just haven't come around yet
And then, all of a sudden Francis Begbie decided to make awesome music :D
he's in the trunk
kirk fox

20 people have no soul
Like the movie better. Would have rather seen 5 minutes of that.
If you didnt like it why did you watch all 5 minutes?
Sean Horwitz
I said better, not "don't like this".
The movie is better than most things.
lordXAVIJAANBJERGNOG So, you're comparing a full length motion picture with a song from a music band.
Awka Liwen I thought I was comparing potatoes with burritos.
