I'm in Argentina and knew about Grant Lee Buffalo 15 years ago because Michael Stipe talk about this album and I found one of the best band that I ever heard,thanks to INTERNET.
Saw them support REM 1995 tour Brisbane. The song which I didnt know at the time completely floored me.....energy, craft, beautiful lyrics....a semi religious experience
This song is a pure stroke of genius. Literary and relevant. It's about government, it's about religion, all spun into the Branch Davidian - Justice Department standoff narrative in Waco Tx. I remember seeing it all on TV when I was 13. A bunch of naive, but innocent people holed up in a compound with the full bore of the US government bearing down on them. The whole thing was horrifying, regardless of what you think about Janet Reno's decision or David Koresh. Complete tragedy on all sides.
Ahhhh yes!! The mighty Grant Lee Buffalo!! Awesome song from one of the Top 10 albums of the 90s. This band really mattered. Have seen Grant (post-GLB) several times live and he ALWAYS delivers. Amazing talent and a hell of a nice guy.
The trumpet blasts were blending.....with the crack of burning wood........what lyrics powerful song........incredibly sad subject.......with an incredibly sad outcome.....captured brilliantly in a song........as an artist your dream is to write and perform something meaningful that will live on after your gone.....this is that song
This song is being used by a portuguese tv channel called "sic radical" to promote their tv shows. Like me many other people had the luck to know this song.
Man, I keep coming back to Grant Lee Buffalo and it never loses its flavor. A great band, who surely never saw the starlight it was meant to see. Played this song tonight for "Super Tuesday" and all the political mumbo jumbo.
What I really like about this video is that there is not one clip from the Branch Davidian siege (which is the surface action referred to in the song) and in avoiding the obvious visuals, creates an entirely more dynamic presentation. In essence, it is taking the song beyond the lyrics. The above comments are true, GLB is way underrated.
This song is about a the Waco Seige of the Branch Davidians by the ATF. It lasted 51 days ended with a fired that consumed the entire compound in less than a half hour. Seventy-six people, including 21 children and two pregnant women, along with Davidian leader David Koresh died in the fire.The FBI thought it would be a great idea to pump tear gas (a gas that is meant for outdoor use) into the compound to get the Davidians to come out. The gas was also extremely flammable.
I saw them in both small (Fez) and large Meadowlands Arena and both times was blown away. I've seen GLP a few times solo as well. He never phones it in. Good stuff.
Som foda demais... tocou um bocado na MTV nos programas underground nos anos 90 quando eu era moleque... me marcou mto pq fez parte dos meus primeiros passos no rock... toda vez que ouço essa música tenho esse ar de nostalgia. Dá uma puta paz, cara... show de bola.
Great song, first time I heard it was on the KROQ 1995 sampler way back when . lost the cd so, had no idea who sang it .glad to hear it again ! don't hear much about Waco these days just seems to have faded away .this songs is a great tribute to what went down that sad day in 1993 , thanks for posting !
BREAKING NEWS !!! The highly talented Paul KIMBLE (bassist and producer of Grant Lee Buffalo) is back with his band Pistol Star in September 2018 with the release of a new LP "Netherworld Orange". This will be the following of the best Grant Lee Buffalo albums. I have the proof of it as I played on this album ! Believe me... You liked Fuzzy, Star's and Stripes, lone Star Song ? You will love Netherworld Orange !!! Stay tuned!!!
You know who sounds like Neil Diamond? Peter Murphy of Bauhaus. My brother noticed it one day and I could never shake the truth of it from my head, I can’t un-hear it. Y’know- Neil Diamond except art goth rock star in the vane of Bowie. You get it
Exacto. Já conhecia a música, mas nunca soube de quem era. Alguém sabe de que ano é (When this song was made ?) ? Julgo que deve ser de algures dps meados dos anos 90's !?
I have heard one or two others compare GLB to Pearl Jam - but never anyone who has listened to GLB more than once / twice. I think the comment comes from recognising Phillips' deep voice, and the bands were around at same time. That's where comparisons end for me.. it doesn't recognise the range of Phillips' voice... no insult intended above poster, but I think its an uninformed observation. GLB had just what you say they should have had - a music all of their own.
The songwriting here is on another level. True artistry.
This band is very under rated!!!!
Top10 band that flew under the radar.
They were rated just fine, they were just under-popular
Awesome band, amazing song. Ladies and Gentlemen, these were the '90's.

"The trumpet blast is blending with the crack of burning wood'. Some powerful lyrics that absolutely captures the tragedy of Waco.
Noreen G I always loved the energy of this song...then I looked up the lyrics. It was as if I was punched in the stomach.
The trumpet blasts were blending.....with the crack of burning wood........what lyrics
powerful song........incredibly sad subject.......with an incredibly sad outcome.....captured brilliantly in a song........as an artist your dream is to write and perform something meaningful that will live on after your gone.....this is that song
Noreen Couldn't agree more. There is true artistry in telling a story in a way that really moves you. This song captures a tragic event beautifully.

Super Grant Lee Phillips.....superb voice and feeling....acoustic heavy metal sexload!!!!!

I'm thinking of making a video of this song with "No Country for Old Men" as footage.
top 5 bands in the 90's
Great song..heard it on a kroq FM comp in 1995
great song and a big influence on me. long live the Buffalo.
I saw them in both small (Fez) and large Meadowlands Arena and both times was blown away. I've seen GLP a few times solo as well. He never phones it in. Good stuff.
We have a few good tunes that play on the soundtrack at my work, but this would be amazing to hear at my work! Can't get enough 😇
Fantastic song about Waco and JFK's assassination. Texas, still haunted by gun violence...
i miss the buffalo :(
just discovered this band
good stuff
This is one of GLB's best songs. But "Sing Along" from the same album is one of the best songs of all time IMHO
How's that voice. Just beautiful.
Amazing song!

Te amo Ju, vlw por ter postado esse video, procurei um tempo atrás e não tinha achado.
my favourite GLB track
this was written about the Branch Dividian deal with David Koresh in Texas, the song is from maybe 1994 or thereabouts at a guess
i want this song on my funeral
quero esta musica no meu funeral...
eu bem q prokurei pela letra da musica e FINALMENTE achei!! :D
Tava convencido q ia ser Peter Murphy pois a voz é mto parecida!
che gran pezzo!! 5 stars!!*_*
klasse song ;-) weiter so
It's a good song. I think it's a shame that G.L.B. hasn't put anything out recently. It'd be nice if he could put something out to match this.
Já somos 2, pá.
you rock for posting this!
SWEET FUCK I LOVE THIS!!! T OF TEXAS!! WOOOHOOO!!!
Thanks bud! Great song
Still great :)
Great song.
When this song was made ?
Remind me a little bit Joy Division, Psychedelic Furs, some alternative rock of the 80's.
penssava q este video tinha sido removido
mas ainda bem q nao ^^
WITH A t!!!!!!
Ma Reno
Nice one Pee Wee. Did you think of that come back all by yourself?
I"ve always felt that his voice sounds so much like Neil Diamond's voice. Seriously compare the two.
+Saint Martins But with kick ass lyrics right??
More like a young mixture between Sixto Rodrigues and Eddie Vedder..
