@@karamassil8264 same man! lost my job, my home and had to leave the country I lived in due to Covid. But started making my own music which never would've happened if it wasn't for this virus. Also, Buckethead quickly became one of my biggest inspirations and really pushes my boundaries. I'm obsessed with him :)
This is a song dedicated to Buckethead's Aunt Suzie. Aunt Suzie was the person that gave him his fist guitar as gift when he was 12 years old! He has also many other songs dedicated to his family! Most importantly his album named COLMA was written for his mum, who was at the hospital recovering from intestine cancer... Buckethead therefore, decided to compose an album that was calming enough for her to hear during the recovery... Amazing man, amazing soul, amazing SOULtouching music!
When you can feel the soul in an emotion in someone playing, it breaks my heart and heals it at the same time. I don't know how else to describe it. What a beautiful soul. Soul transcends all genres.
Wow thats really touching. The power of music...What it can do to someone. How feelings of anger & hate can vanish in the matter of seconds. How it serves as a universal language that everyone understands & can relate to. In music there is no discrimination against gender/ethnicity/disability. No one cares if someone is blind,only has a arm or if this person would happen to wear a Bucket on his head. Thats why I love this community so much. And thats why I have decided to become a muscician myself. Imagine having the ability to play your instrument & eventually you inspire masses of people to learn music as well. Music is the most personal expression of the soul. And Im afraid there wont be another day going by without me listening to at least 1 Buckethead song. When I have children I will play them Buckethead as well to soothe them. You should try Padmasana,Swomme Swan, Pike 78, Cove, Electric Tears LP, Super Human, Pond Of Peace, Blue Slide, Pike 43, Watching Boats With My Dad, Formless Present...to name a few out of the 300 + records already released lol. But I especially suggest to play "She Sells Sea Shells At The Slaughterhouse" for your son, since this is an actual lullaby song in my mind. If it can turn someone in their early 20s sleepy then Im sure it will work even better for your son. Buckethead is such a genius & I cherish everyday his music enhances my life Much love,happiness,health & peace
The theory is that Bucketheads "Aunt Suzie" bought him his first guitar! However, this isn't the only song that is for Aunt Suzie! The song Soothsayer is also referring to Aunt Suzie! Soothsayer means someone who can see the future! Which supposedly "Aunt Suzie" could see the future! She foresaw him becoming a guitar legend and therefore bought him his first guitar!
you people who like this song. I firmly believe that you are all good souls and if we had the chance, we could throw a Buckethead party - a long weekend of enjoying his songs
This song reminds me of my dad, who committed suicide when I was 20, he was a war vet and buckthead was his fav band. I only play it twice a year, on his birthday and on a day he decided to end his life. Happy Birthday Dad.

Listen to pike 65 and you can just tell he is playing what he feels right there for the most part
This song saved my life. 2014 I was going through it hard. Toxic lifestyle. I wanted so hard to surrender. I didn't know where to go, who to turn to. I'm an expat in a foreign country. I got home one cold rainy night and my electricity had been cut off. It was definately the last straw. I was one for. I asked for a sign before leaving this earth. I opened my laptop and checked my messages one last time and RUclips was open. I clicked the first song. It was this one. I cried all night and woke up a new man. Life changed. This song always reminds me of how lowninwss and how far I've come.
@@jasonrossetta5203 What makes you think this world is a detour? Detour from what? No, this is the only life we know is real. Any assumptions or guesses about what happens afterward is just that, a guess. But you are right about making the best of it being all we can do.
i feel happy for u... we may think that death will end our pain and suffering but it also will end the moments of joy and exctasy that we have yet to experience... we can find gratitude for our pain and learn to appreciate it for what it is...another part of an infinite spectrum of colour/ feeling/ awareness/ emotion ..........when you are going thru Hell.......Keep Going!!
Tell me about it I tried countless times never succeeded. It's a sign man. In one occasion a rope that held a big ass boat snaped when I got of the chair. Everyone has their purpose and it took me years of agony and pain to realize tho I lost everything (fiance and unborn child) life goes on
Keep your head up, to be alive means you can change and as long as you can change even the smallest thing you should, and even if it looks as if you can't just wait a bit, but dont give up
My dog loved this song. Had to put him down today, I miss him more than anything. Never had a friend like him. Now this song will be played in his memory, and to heal my lost soul. RIP dear Duri. Give me strength to continue without you. You lit up so many dark days of my life. I can't imagine ever loving anyone as much as you. But that won't stop me from trying.
Hang in there, he'll be waiting for ya, just a little further down the road. My best friend of 14 yrs , b we waitin' too. Take care friend. Cities was a Maine coon kitty. Sweetest soul I ever knew
I love my dog more than most people, and I am glad you can get some solace by listening to this particular song. I completely get-you. Even at my ripe age of 63.
I saw his picture, he got my curiosity. I listened to his heavy stuff, he got my attention. I listened to Big Sur Moon, Padmasana and this, he got my respect
And vision. I could only hope to imagine what explodes inside his neural pathways and have half the ability to execute it. His vision involves far more than senses and sight. Take it or leave it like it or love it he is extraordinary.
@@lkdgamingchannel5219 if you wanted an experience shrooms are the safest drug you can do, they have the lowest amount of hospital visits of any other drug, followed by cannabis and lsd. alcohol is the most dangerous drug responsible for the most deaths each year by a long shot. not saying you should do any of them though just throwing some facts out there
Countless hours of every emotion available trying to master not only craft but the flawed instrument of the human body and mind as one and then make something beautiful with that that transcends language and culture. It takes more than pain to do that, he used his pain and everything else to make something good out of it.
TopTens the knowledge that no matter how godlike he creates sound, it can never reach 100% perfection! That‘s why we exist as humans, and BH still plays the guitar, because we believe so strongly in reaching the 100% :)
Dang...wish you would have been my teacher! Alas, I'm older than Buckethead by a few years, so his music wouldn't have been available when I was still in school.
Hands down... greatest ever. I dont understand how people can praise Hendrix for only being influential... Buckethead has invented techniques and playing style as well... and even if you give it to Hendrix for being the influence for a lot of guitarists... dude... THIS GUY RIGHT HERE CAN PLAY ANYTHING!!! LITERALLY! Any genre, style or whatever the heck, fast, slow, shredding or bending, the emotion, the technique... Buckethead is just the most complete guitarist. Some cand shred faster or whatever but lacks in certain departments... this guy has 300 albums exploring music way beyond any other guitarists have... its insane... I don't think people understand... and I'm a simple girl, I like David Gilmour and Marty Friedman... for feeling and flavour... but this guy is just a better guitar player... dosent mean his music is better, you cant even compare music, its about mood... but he is just the better player.. Love you all! Geez... such a long comment... ^^' ❤
Scriverò questo commento nella mia lingua, non in inglese, perché non ne ho voglia e perché è un certo orario. Posso solo farti le mie congratulazioni! È difficile vedere una "simple girl" Come te, in genere. Dunque niente, nonostante io non so chi tu sia, quanti anni tu abbia eccetera, non solo mi hai tolto letteralmente le parole dalla bocca... E dalle dita. Ma mi hai anche quasi emozionato. Buone cose! :")
Hendrix wasn't just skilled. He was a pioneer. Buckethead is very skilled at playing for sure but has he made as much something "new" as Hendrix? Think not.
Just because we don't feel the emotions certain others transmit as easily, does not even imply they are less able. That we are all so different is not just a good thing, it is *the greatest thing.* Diversity is in *fact,* life itself. I believe that this is Bucketheads main message too btw.
Strawberry Smoothie Well u should. Bucket head is the God of music. I hear people talking about satriani, Steve Vai, Paul Gilbert, Eric johnson, mamsteen, Guthrie govan, Neil zaza etc. Well they are good but once u listen to bucket head u will understand the soul of music.
R.I.P Aunt Suzie, we will never forget you! Thanks for that gift for Brian! If not you, I dont know if world would still have buckethead in it... Rest in peace, Aunt Suzie :..) ...
+DaxAndy it is my favourite B/Head sone at the mo. Haven't heard all his tracks but oh my gosh. Soothsayer and too many humans I think are up there for me also.
I used to fall asleep peacefully to this track, and now my twin baby girls do the same. It's amazing to watch them smile in their sleep while listening to this track. Thank you so much, Buckethead. May aunt Suzie rest in peace.
He doesn't self-promote and lets people find his work by themselves. It's not like how Ed Sheeran is rammed down people's throats on commercial radio until people get brainwashed into liking it even though it's shite.
I have never heard a musician play with this much soul and inspiration. Great way to leave this crazy world in your mind, put your head phones on and chill with some BH. He is just so damn good.
*Once you start to live alone, partially isolated from everyone, then it's kinda becomes addictive. Even though you have the choice to change that, but still you opt to remain same!*
If God came down to earth and starts taking away everyone's pain and misery this should be the song playing while he does it. ❤️ 1 month ago this song meant pain to me, it still does but a bit more bearable now.
Buckethead, you took me on a journey through the life of someone I did not know, through you guitar. I feel the love, admiration, respect and fascination you had for this aunt Suzie. Amazing.
The fact people are still discovering Buckethead should serve as a reminder to all artists to be patient. It’s a lie that the greatest music rises to the top, so as fans we must do our best to spread the word. Buckethead would sell out stadiums if talent was the main factor.
@@joenathan4880 to be fair, if he didnt know who aunt suzie was, why would he immediately assume they were dead and that a different song would be about her passing? He didnt have enough info to make that inference.
We have easily learned that Buckethead loves his family. What an inspiration. The passion it gives him has led to some of his BEST work. Pike 65: go listen
My aunt Suzie was the twin sister of my dad, aunt Gisela. I remember her dealing with heavy bipolar disorder. But she loved me unconditionally. She passed away with cancer with 61. I did the burial... She has a daughter, my cousin. She suffers also from heavy depressions. She survived a strong suicide attempt by swallowing poison. I love my cousin dearly. She is a fairly poor soul looking always to survive. Recently she fell in love with a guy from Marokko much younger than her. But she told him, that literally "on an old frigate you learn sailing in a right manner". I have doubts, but I see her happy. And that makes me happy... Why I´m telling you this? I really don´t know. I listen to Buckethead´s music and remember Christ and aunt Gisela and her daughter. I see the hardships in life and also the grace of being in Christ. Thank you Lord! Thank you for all those people having influenced me and having given me hope and faith. Greetings and thanks for giving me the oportunity to tell you my thoughts... καὶ ἐστὲ ἐν αὐτῷ πεπληρωμένοι, ὅς ἐστιν ἡ κεφαλὴ πάσης ἀρχῆς καὶ ἐξουσίας· Col 2:10
My Aunty Suzie passed away unexpectedly and it was really tough to handle. I loved her so much, she really enjoyed music and playing music as well, she always believed in my musical capabilities and pushed me to learn more than 1 instrument, I wish I could've shown her this song that was named after her, she would've loved it. R.I.P Aunty Suzie I will always love you. XO ❤️
Wonder how many people think of their family members on the other side listening to this 🙏🏽. I thought of my Big Brother Tyler Shepherd, he loved playing the guitar and left us to early🌹🕯.
RIP DOOM. Both Bucket and Doom are/were prodigies in what they did, and both chose to hide their identities. mad respect. will forever follow their ideals.
I lost everything that ever mattered to me this year and this song made me cry at work and be happy at the same time buckethead is my savior.his guitar literally speaks to me.
I always listen to this song at midnights, while looking at my ex-bestfriend's old text messages and just think about the past. This is why it has a very special meaning for me and makes me emotional every time. Describes my feelings and puts them into something concrete. It just fits the night scene or keeps you focused while reading a book. Buckethead did really good job with this one
I misjudged her and thought i what i was doing was the right thing and by pushing her away to make her want me more is not what she wanted, so i messed up there and now im barely getting a little trust back that i once had with her
If one could put it into words, there'd be no need for music like this. Fortunately for us all, not everything can be put into words. Words can only get you so far. To go beyond, you'd need Buckethead.
Después de años y años de escuchar diferentes tipos de música, no hay palabras para describir lo que buckethead hace. Me gustan muchos tipos de musica pero esto es algo más. Ningun otro compositor ha sido capaz de transmitirme con la musica estos sentimientos que afloran cuando escucho a buckethead. De verdad creo que Buckethead seria capaz de curar el mundo con su musica si todo el mundo la escuchara.
De hecho esta canción fue la razón por la que me puse a buscar el disco en original y al fin lo encontré. Cuando me lo mandaron a casa sentí una emoción increíble cuando lo saque de su envoltura y lo aprecie por todos lados. Pase esta canción a mi teléfono en formato WAV y siento lo mismo que tu describes cada vez que la escucho. Es como subir a una alta montaña en la noche, ver la luna frente a tu cara y sentir el susurro del viento. Increíble!!!
I have such an emotional attachment to this song...I've lost a lot of good friends over the years from anywhere between freak accidents to opiate overdoses, and every time I hear this song it reminds me of all of them. We all were huge fans of Buckethead, and I have no doubt they're still jamming out to him wherever they are. RIP guys...may your afterlife be as peaceful and kickass as this song.
ya think you've listened to Aunt Suzie a hundred times and then you hear it for the first time all over again. Just amazing. I love this music more and more. Very important to me and evidently a lot of other people too.
Does bucket read the comments ? Well if he does to him I would say you sir are an old soul with the power to heal those who will listen so much to give so little time thank you for you
Yes, he does. He even watches covers here on RUclips of his songs. He recently recognized one of his most popular cover guitarist in the 1st row and invited him on stage. He even gave him his guitar to finish the song.
It's a sad song. It makes me think of my girlfriend's mom. She died all of a sudden in January 2020 from a brain bleed. She was a wonderful and very sweet person, and she died all of a sudden. She was here every day, and now gone forever. My girlfriend lived with here, and they counted on each other, and now that is all over. This song makes me reflect on that.
Buckethead doesnt need words to speak to you, yet his music communicates with you better than any person could in this world. This song always makes me remember things I am anxious about yet helps to cope with them, I dont know what I would do in this world without such a friend as buckethead... There are only 2 words I can to tell him: thank you!
I have never heard Buckethead before; the passion in this song had me all emotional and teary by halfway through. No other song has done that before...
Aunt Suzie gave him his first guitar. Good investment, Suzie!
Good lookin out, Aunt Suzie!
Thanks Aunt Suzie
Simon Hansen Hi yes appearantly it was,Lol.
really thank god she did
Simon Hansen - thanks for the info, I’m slowly learning about BH everyday 👍😊
I just discovered Buckethead a few days ago and it's the best thing that has happened to me in 2020
Life changing isn't it?
@@jonderuyscher9746 absolutely!
Me too mate!! I've been a classic rock fan all my life and I feel so stupid I haven't heard of him... Life changing experience!!

R u alive
look up Dovydas for the love of god.
His best songs are about people in his life in my opinion , never seen an artist express in strings like this more than words ever will.
If you like expressive guitar playing, George Harrison excels at that.
So true!
Like every note is just full of emotion
Yes!

I'm shure Aunt Suzie would appreciate that 😀😴
Wow thats really touching. The power of music...What it can do to someone.
How feelings of anger & hate can vanish in the matter of seconds.
How it serves as a universal language that everyone understands & can relate to.
In music there is no discrimination against gender/ethnicity/disability.
No one cares if someone is blind,only has a arm or if this person would happen to wear a Bucket on his head.

This is such a good idea.
Some of the most soulful guitar I have heard in my 60 years. He's talking to her.
100% man - this track is insane. How much Love & Respect do we all have for BH!!!
I was thinking the same thing man. He's saying goodbye thru chords
He makes his guitar talk & it speaks to his lost loved ones & his fans & his music touches many people around the world
Same with Pike 65, the way he speaks to his mother. Mind blowing

While my guitar gently weeps...GH...BH.
The true litmus test for an artist is this. No words spoken and yet through his instrument I understand fully what his aunt Suzie meant to him.
Couldn't have put it better myself. I fully agree x
I have never seen anybody else make 12 minutes long solo that is so freaking good!
listen to maggot brain mate
'look up there' is really good too
agreed my brother
Sooooo Good
cuz buckethead is god
some things are meant to be described with tones , not words
I know, how fkn good is this track - its insane, so emotional. I've never heard an instrumental like it.
I'm digging it,I love this song. Buckethead,he's really cool...... Stevie H.
My thoughts exactly !!!
MsUleule I don’t think I’ve ever agreed more with any statement. 😌
Amen to that shit
Can't listen to this without constantly shedding tears.
shredding tears*
@@drackaris_ i was about to write that 😂😂
@@seancunningham4462 i litterally misread it as shredding and didnt realize until i saw these replies
You mean electric tears...
Someone once said: speak only when words are better than silence.
And Buckethead spoke without saying a word.
And left nothing unsaid
I saw his picture, he got my curiosity. I listened to his heavy stuff, he got my attention. I listened to Big Sur Moon, Padmasana and this, he got my respect
I wish Big Sur Monn could go on and on...
He’s probably the best alive now. Creativity and talent wise he’s surpassed his influences.
Track 4
This song is heavy. Heavy to your heart
Can everybody just take a moment to appreciate how talented this dude is, amen
Imane Khaoudi Savage musician is what he is. Does not get much better than Buckethead
Imane Khaoudi yes, agreed, but does the word ‘talented’ really do him justice?
And vision. I could only hope to imagine what explodes inside his neural pathways and have half the ability to execute it. His vision involves far more than senses and sight. Take it or leave it like it or love it he is extraordinary.
I´m totally blown away...... Can´t believe how beautiful his songs are.
Imaaaane this song made me sad
If someone told me a guy with a KFC bucket on his head could give me the chills before I would have laughed and eaten the last acid tab myself
Oh man, I totally should listen to buckethead on the next trip
Wojciech Dramiński Honestly, I’ve never done drugs. But Buckethead is the sort of artist I think “man, this would be great high”
@@lkdgamingchannel5219 you know you can crack a beer, or smoke a joint. it doesn't have to be crazy shit. people tend to forget booze is also drugs
@@lkdgamingchannel5219 if you wanted an experience shrooms are the safest drug you can do, they have the lowest amount of hospital visits of any other drug, followed by cannabis and lsd. alcohol is the most dangerous drug responsible for the most deaths each year by a long shot. not saying you should do any of them though just throwing some facts out there
@@wojciechdraminski3035 can recommend
Crazy that Youngboy of all artists sampled this riff. Buckethead is a top 5 guitarist of all time
wow, that is crazy
Disgusting 🤢
Wait what? I sampled this song a few years ago for a type beat lmaooo it’s on my channel, now I gotta see if they stole my shit

No I am

what kind of pain is hiding behind this song ...
BIZARE big pain
Countless hours of every emotion available trying to master not only craft but the flawed instrument of the human body and mind as one and then make something beautiful with that that transcends language and culture. It takes more than pain to do that, he used his pain and everything else to make something good out of it.
what pain does he have?
@@toptens3498 grief for his aunt Suzie
TopTens the knowledge that no matter how godlike he creates sound, it can never reach 100% perfection!
That‘s why we exist as humans, and BH still plays the guitar, because we believe so strongly in reaching the 100% :)
Anyone listening in 2020 just because this song can’t be lost
Yes! Almost every day
Listening here in NC guys
it's a repeat thing for me
Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!
En France aussi on aime le bon son
I just discovered Buckethead a few days ago and it's the best thing that has happened to me in 2024
Dude same!
This will turn out as a very great discovery,you ll see
Welcome to Bucketheadland! Come on in! Glad you made it!
Buckethead is such a wholesome guitarist, thank you for existing, friend.

I am a high school math teacher. I play Buckethead in class during web based math assignments. This one is currently playing. \m/
Dang...wish you would have been my teacher! Alas, I'm older than Buckethead by a few years, so his music wouldn't have been available when I was still in school.
🤘❤️❤️❤️❤️🤘❤️❤️❤️❤️
W teacher

Have you also played Linkin Park?
God bless you Aunt Suzie that now he's making such a good music like this because of you
This guy plays an 11minutes instrumental and succeeds in being interesting and original all the way long. Just a genius !
Hands down... greatest ever. I dont understand how people can praise Hendrix for only being influential... Buckethead has invented techniques and playing style as well... and even if you give it to Hendrix for being the influence for a lot of guitarists... dude... THIS GUY RIGHT HERE CAN PLAY ANYTHING!!! LITERALLY! Any genre, style or whatever the heck, fast, slow, shredding or bending, the emotion, the technique... Buckethead is just the most complete guitarist. Some cand shred faster or whatever but lacks in certain departments... this guy has 300 albums exploring music way beyond any other guitarists have... its insane... I don't think people understand... and I'm a simple girl, I like David Gilmour and Marty Friedman... for feeling and flavour... but this guy is just a better guitar player... dosent mean his music is better, you cant even compare music, its about mood... but he is just the better player.. Love you all! Geez... such a long comment... ^^' ❤
Anna Bulgariu Hendrix was the foundation. Buckethead was the concrete.
Hendrix wrote songs with lyrics that you can relate to. Buckethead writes instrumentals. There is a difference.
Scriverò questo commento nella mia lingua, non in inglese, perché non ne ho voglia e perché è un certo orario. Posso solo farti le mie congratulazioni! È difficile vedere una "simple girl" Come te, in genere. Dunque niente, nonostante io non so chi tu sia, quanti anni tu abbia eccetera, non solo mi hai tolto letteralmente le parole dalla bocca... E dalle dita. Ma mi hai anche quasi emozionato. Buone cose! :")
Hendrix wasn't just skilled. He was a pioneer. Buckethead is very skilled at playing for sure but has he made as much something "new" as Hendrix? Think not.
Hendrix was average. Don't overestimate.
Unlike other virtuosos, Buckethead really transmits feelings and emotions with his guitar. I’m glad I discovered him.
Omar Aguilera Steve Vai has that power too but I think bucket is better at it over all
You haven't heard Steve Vai - YNGWIE MALMSTEEN - Micheal Angelo Batio - Joe Satriani - etc....
sourabh tupe yes I have. And they don’t connect with me 🤷🏻♂️
Just because we don't feel the emotions certain others transmit as easily, does not even imply they are less able. That we are all so different is not just a good thing, it is *the greatest thing.* Diversity is in *fact,* life itself. I believe that this is Bucketheads main message too btw.
I just now realized Yb sampled this masterpiece 💚🙏🏾
He did?
Whose Yb?
@@nachocheez9690 nba youngboy, he released a song called house arrest tingz it’s a really good song u should listen to it, it has 200m views on yt
I turn 65 in August. Glad I found this musician. Time to find my old black light posters, buy some incense, and smoke some Panama or Columbian Red.
Glad you like it, and seeing how productive Buckethead his, you have years worth of listening to do ! ;)
Niceee
Add a lava lamp and plenty of beads for door entrances. PEACE.
68, just smoked "wedding cake" , I'm with you!
also great with the odd shroom.
He expresses eloquently the emotion of loss, the missing of those we love ....... Brilliant
This is poetry using sounds as language.Every time i listen buckethead perform i feel like being lost in a fairy realm outside of space and time.
Exactly he´s is outta this world
it's indeed a warm place. no blue in sight.
''i feel like being lost in a fairy realm outside of space and time'' Bucketheadland is your imagination.
I am hearing the song for first time and I just thought the same
On those days that it's hard to smile, and there's nobody to talk to, this song will talk to you.
Indeed, it is a dark place of which you speak.
I've immediately fallen in love with this artist.
This is a musical treasure.
I listen to this every day
Strawberry Smoothie Well u should. Bucket head is the God of music. I hear people talking about satriani, Steve Vai, Paul Gilbert, Eric johnson, mamsteen, Guthrie govan, Neil zaza etc. Well they are good but once u listen to bucket head u will understand the soul of music.
Still listening to it?
You look like you taste like a strawberry smoothly
Cool
your a beautiful soal
R.I.P Aunt Suzie, we will never forget you! Thanks for that gift for Brian! If not you, I dont know if world would still have buckethead in it... Rest in peace, Aunt Suzie :..) ...

So special so beautiful!!💕

Can't believe my brother showed this song by Bucket to me in 6th grade and now, 4 years later, I'm still listening to it...so emotional, man.

When you die and your spirit leaves your human body and leaves earth, this is playing as you are in route to the pearly gates.

I've had that exact thought. I hope it's the case
BradleyVolk3 that comment gave me goosebumps
unfortunately its gona be sweating bullets by megadeath.
matt webb you just ruined a beautiful chain of comments...
I used to fall asleep peacefully to this track, and now my twin baby girls do the same. It's amazing to watch them smile in their sleep while listening to this track. Thank you so much, Buckethead. May aunt Suzie rest in peace.
Just heard Buckethead... I can't stop wondering why haven't I heard this before. Truly melodious!!
Same....
Commercial radio never plays the unique stuff.
He doesn't self-promote and lets people find his work by themselves. It's not like how Ed Sheeran is rammed down people's throats on commercial radio until people get brainwashed into liking it even though it's shite.
@@holliswilliams8426 Can't agree more. That's true for a lot of modern day music circulating around
I have never heard a musician play with this much soul and inspiration. Great way to leave this crazy world in your mind, put your head phones on and chill with some BH. He is just so damn good.
I really recommend you "Maggot brain" by Funkadelic.
It's great too.
Try David Gilmour

wellsaid brother of the Shadowlands
Less drama to just say screw the bullshit and be alone.
I agree, way less drama. I relish my solitude, can’t wait to get my own place again.
Welcome to my life for the past 6-7 years. Social distancing and ghosting before it was cool
I can relate to that, I always long for the aloness
I wish I had known of this guy sooner. Damn he’s good. His spirit comes thru in his work. What an artist.
If God came down to earth and starts taking away everyone's pain and misery this should be the song playing while he does it. ❤️ 1 month ago this song meant pain to me, it still does but a bit more bearable now.
Don't give up
Ahh shit.... Regular break up drama.
Be well young lady; and get better.
@@tupesourabh: Can you say: *assumption* drama?
Buckethead, you took me on a journey through the life of someone I did not know, through you guitar. I feel the love, admiration, respect and fascination you had for this aunt Suzie. Amazing.
Buckethead is life. The most important musician that has ever lived. His legacy will be embraced and studied for ages.
You're forgetting Michael Jackson, and Binod
@@ChrisSamuel1729 Nah, the greatest musician was Hendrix, or Mercury, Michael Jackson wasn't anywhere near
@Elvis Cocho It maybe that Jimi > MJ, but Binod beats them both hands down.
The fact people are still discovering Buckethead should serve as a reminder to all artists to be patient. It’s a lie that the greatest music rises to the top, so as fans we must do our best to spread the word. Buckethead would sell out stadiums if talent was the main factor.
💯
I do not know Aunt Suzie, but she must be one seriously groovy lady!
how does that nice story relate to that title of not even the same song, but a different song, "soothsayer"?
Maybe because his aunt could foresee Buckethead's potential
@@jskullheisenberg5227 hahaha forreal
jskull Heisenburg he recorded this while in grief from her passing.
Not one for inference huh?
@@joenathan4880 to be fair, if he didnt know who aunt suzie was, why would he immediately assume they were dead and that a different song would be about her passing? He didnt have enough info to make that inference.
We have easily learned that Buckethead loves his family. What an inspiration. The passion it gives him has led to some of his BEST work.
Pike 65: go listen
My aunt Suzie was the twin sister of my dad, aunt Gisela.
I remember her dealing with heavy bipolar disorder. But she loved me unconditionally. She passed away with cancer with 61. I did the burial...
She has a daughter, my cousin. She suffers also from heavy depressions. She survived a strong suicide attempt by swallowing poison.
I love my cousin dearly. She is a fairly poor soul looking always to survive. Recently she fell in love with a guy from Marokko much younger than her. But she told him, that literally "on an old frigate you learn sailing in a right manner". I have doubts, but I see her happy. And that makes me happy...
Why I´m telling you this? I really don´t know. I listen to Buckethead´s music and remember Christ and aunt Gisela and her daughter. I see the hardships in life and also the grace of being in Christ. Thank you Lord! Thank you for all those people having influenced me and having given me hope and faith.
Greetings and thanks for giving me the oportunity to tell you my thoughts...
καὶ ἐστὲ ἐν αὐτῷ πεπληρωμένοι, ὅς ἐστιν ἡ κεφαλὴ πάσης ἀρχῆς καὶ ἐξουσίας· Col 2:10
Until the end ;)!
My Aunty Suzie passed away unexpectedly and it was really tough to handle. I loved her so much, she really enjoyed music and playing music as well, she always believed in my musical capabilities and pushed me to learn more than 1 instrument, I wish I could've shown her this song that was named after her, she would've loved it. R.I.P Aunty Suzie I will always love you. XO ❤️
She's still around and you'll see her someday
I’m taking a shot for aunt Suzie. I don’t know her, but she sounds awesome.
@@shawnnelson1028 she was brother, thanks so much 🙏🏻♥️
Some things are ment to be the bond between you and aunt Suzie shows in your music beautiful .❤️🌹🏴
things that never happened
In times like these, sometimes it’s nice to just chill out with a joint and listen to music like this.
Glad to see people still coming back for this
Amen
My sentiments EXACTLY, You put that so succinctly.... ( huh,suck what???)
Chill maaaan from Rome, Italy with love
late at night, alone :)
Wonder how many people think of their family members on the other side listening to this 🙏🏽. I thought of my Big Brother Tyler Shepherd, he loved playing the guitar and left us to early🌹🕯.
RIP Tyler. 🙏
I thought of my brother, Bud Manley. While listening. My brother was a great guitarist.
Buckethead has the feeling so many musicians lack. This really resinates through me
Damn man... Buckethead takes you to a different dimension
RIP DOOM. Both Bucket and Doom are/were prodigies in what they did, and both chose to hide their identities. mad respect. will forever follow their ideals.
@@zisanshahriar2779 I concur bro that's what made them legends
I lost everything that ever mattered to me this year and this song made me cry at work and be happy at the same time buckethead is my savior.his guitar literally speaks to me.
Crazy how much emotion can come from someone in a mask
I always listen to this song at midnights, while looking at my ex-bestfriend's old text messages and just think about the past. This is why it has a very special meaning for me and makes me emotional every time. Describes my feelings and puts them into something concrete. It just fits the night scene or keeps you focused while reading a book. Buckethead did really good job with this one
Captain MacPizza delete those messages
Captain MacPizza you will with time , because in the end nothing remains the same
I know how you feel, just hang in there it heals up within time, I let a girl go because of my stupidity and I truly regret it.
I misjudged her and thought i what i was doing was the right thing and by pushing her away to make her want me more is not what she wanted, so i messed up there and now im barely getting a little trust back that i once had with her
thanks, i wish you luck as well
How to cry for 12 min straight: listen to Aunt Suzie and read the comments
Really, i don't know how, but everytime i listen to buckethead i just cry. And i never cry because of music
Seriously man 💔
Imagine one person who give you all emotions with one song and even without a word
I've been listening to Buckethead since September of 2019, how in the world did I miss this master piece till now
I can’t stop listening to this! Highly addictive.

My master. A real artist with a sensitive soul. I melt when I listen to this song. His music is like a paradise for the ears. Thank you, Buckethead!
Will you marry me?
Buckethead is the only living composer that makes me feel emotions listening to them
4:22-4:43 is pure eargasm. That pattern is one of my favorite sounds in music.
Just breath...and listen. Its better than any anti-depressant
Yea.
If one could put it into words, there'd be no need for music like this.
Fortunately for us all, not everything can be put into words.
Words can only get you so far. To go beyond, you'd need Buckethead.
Después de años y años de escuchar diferentes tipos de música, no
hay palabras para describir lo que buckethead hace. Me gustan muchos
tipos de musica pero esto es algo más. Ningun otro compositor ha sido
capaz de transmitirme con la musica estos sentimientos que afloran
cuando escucho a buckethead.
De verdad creo que Buckethead seria capaz de curar el mundo con su musica si todo el mundo la escuchara.
Muy real hermano. Siento lo mismo que tu dices. BIG B 4 ever
De hecho esta canción fue la razón por la que me puse a buscar el disco en original y al fin lo encontré. Cuando me lo mandaron a casa sentí una emoción increíble cuando lo saque de su envoltura y lo aprecie por todos lados. Pase esta canción a mi teléfono en formato WAV y siento lo mismo que tu describes cada vez que la escucho. Es como subir a una alta montaña en la noche, ver la luna frente a tu cara y sentir el susurro del viento. Increíble!!!
Yeah man
Paracetamol
Acabo de descubrir a Buckethead y no puedo creer la forma en que transmite sus mensajes a través de su Gibson. Un talento fuera de serie 😳
I have such an emotional attachment to this song...I've lost a lot of good friends over the years from anywhere between freak accidents to opiate overdoses, and every time I hear this song it reminds me of all of them. We all were huge fans of Buckethead, and I have no doubt they're still jamming out to him wherever they are. RIP guys...may your afterlife be as peaceful and kickass as this song.
ya think you've listened to Aunt Suzie a hundred times and then you hear it for the first time all over again. Just amazing. I love this music more and more. Very important to me and evidently a lot of other people too.
Yes very. very important.
First listen this in 2024, feels like flying in universe.
Does bucket read the comments ? Well if he does to him I would say you sir are an old soul with the power to heal those who will listen so much to give so little time thank you for you
Yes, he does. He even watches covers here on RUclips of his songs. He recently recognized one of his most popular cover guitarist in the 1st row and invited him on stage. He even gave him his guitar to finish the song.
He has a bucket on his head...he can't see to read. Duh
@@mightyOmouse Do you have a link to that video by any chance?
@@gh0st1805 ruclips.net/video/7ysQ9bN1BLU/видео.html
I share that thought.
It's a sad song. It makes me think of my girlfriend's mom. She died all of a sudden in January 2020 from a brain bleed. She was a wonderful and very sweet person, and she died all of a sudden. She was here every day, and now gone forever. My girlfriend lived with here, and they counted on each other, and now that is all over. This song makes me reflect on that.
I listen to this every time I'm about to break. Buckethead helps me center myself. Thanks, Aunt Suzie, for putting a guitar in this man's hands.
i feel you bro
Buckethead doesnt need words to speak to you, yet his music communicates with you better than any person could in this world. This song always makes me remember things I am anxious about yet helps to cope with them, I dont know what I would do in this world without such a friend as buckethead... There are only 2 words I can to tell him: thank you!
Neither did Mozart or Bach.
He talked to his fingers what else you want me to say
absolutely beautiful!!! 美麗, 扣人心弦！
Hope Buckethead can hear my most sincere thank you from Hong Kong.
he doesnt make that guitar cry, he walks it through its lifes traumas, takes it to therapy, and teaches it to trust in others again.
One of my favorite songs by Buckethead. I listen to it a couple of times every day, it's just so good. You can really feel the emotion in the song.
I advise not to listen to this that often. Atleast I do, and it makes each listen even more beautiful
+Samsid I advise that you don't advise people. yw.
I have also been listening to this multiple times a day.
I have never heard Buckethead before; the passion in this song had me all emotional and teary by halfway through. No other song has done that before...
6:20... why i am crying?...
Amazing
jeffrey de jesus srry I’m getting into bucket head do u know this song?
I love this part
Same reason why i am. Simply beautiful
...because Heavenly beauty is too much to take into our feeble brains...
What beauty, doesn't this just make you want to wish everyone around you the best.
Ohhhh Buckethead (Brian) your a dreamer man thank you so so much for this music
Bermuda Triangle is awesome as well. This song takes me somewhere else. Like a dream.
