I'm a 42 year old good ol' boy who became a widower on March 16 of 2017 when my sweet Heather collapsed in my arms and died a couple of hours later. I've been searching for a song that could somewhat come close to what I've gone thru grieving and I do believe that I've found it. Great song fellows, keep it up. Down here in the panhandle of Texas, we love us some turtles!!!!!
When I found this song it kicked the shit out of my heart over n over cos I wouldn't stop listening to it. It was no particular heartache but all of em combined. That is how fucking good this song is.
This song tears me up every time I listen to it. I lost my mum two months ago, she was only 42, and my dad is having a really hard time dealing with it, and this song is extremely fitting. Hard to listen to, but incredible nonetheless.
I lost my wife, the love of my life TWENTY-TWO days ago, and I am STILL GRIEVING, AND SUFFERING TERRIBLY. She was ALL I HAD, and NOW, she is GONE. She is GONE.
I hope you are finding some form of peace. These pains never go away, only dull or slowly fade with the passing of time. Only to be brought up by a passing cloud, a sound or smell. Life is so incredibly difficult at times, I just hope you are doing better friend.
On April 18th, My 18 year old brother-in-law passed away. Locksley, you have no idea how hard it is for all of us here without you. This song makes me tear up too. Your brother introduced it to me. He's having a rough time too. We so miss you.
I love........LOVE this song. It totally "Gets" what it is like to lose a spouse or significant other... I'm not a Widower, but a Widow and this song has stolen my heart. Love the Violin on this one too...
Bluegrass Purists annoy me, Everyone should be happy that TBT are real musicians that play REAL instruments and carry on the tradition of folk and bluegrass music, the songs and harmonies are amazing, so stop being so confining with your labels.
"Widower's Heart" Can’t help it if I have a widower’s heart Tried to get out of bed but I can’t seem to start When I hit the road it was freezing and dark I hope that it’s warmer wherever you are I turned to say I’m sorry and I tried to explain But the room it was empty and bitter and drained No songs from the angels, no blood in my veins Could ever replace you and here I remain Oh, rain. Come wash me and keep me and take my away. New York was a rough place that suited me well You bragged of religion and put me through hell Maybe I’m better off, maybe it’s hard to tell When I left you were sleeping through trumpets and bells Oh, rain. Come wash me and keep me and take my away. Just one moment of peace, that would suit me so fine But it’s echoes and glimpses of beautiful times I’m sure it’s much harder on your end than mine If you ever pass through here I’m not hard to find. Oh, rain. Come wash me and keep me and take my away. Oh, rain. Come wash me and keep me and take my away.

Just perfect !!! --- What soul keepers !!! --- They can relay the feeling like no other out there right now !!! --- Let me buy you guys a drink in Blacksburg in November !!!
Known you guys many years & this is it for me.. beautiful.. just so good.. love the music you guys have made. Hope we get the chance to see you again. NASHVILLE but an hour away 😉
I just lost my brother on the 4th of July...I'm sort of living these words right now. I've never had a life without him in it so... Thanks for this tune! ~G~ ♪
@harrisonjoe8579 It’s hard to believe it’s been 8 yrs since I wrote that. But yes, I’m fine now. I am so sorry you lost your wife that way. It had to have been so hard! 💔
@harrisonjoe8579 Thanks. I am a very determined sort so I don’t expect that it’ll stop me. They also said I wouldn’t drive again but I am so if that isn’ a good sign then nothing is.
No recognition you say jonhavey666! They are the hottest band in Mn.!!! My wife and I will be seeing them next month in Summerset WI. Can’t wait!! And thanks to Trampled, Duluth will get back on their feet a little sooner. Thanks Trampled By Turtles.
Stars And Satellites feels and sounds more introspective than the band's usual lighting fast bluegrass/rock/punk leanings. The result is a warmer, more cohesive album than the band has done before.
I had a shot at winning tickets (college alt-country show) to their ATL concert 3 days ago for tonight's show; but I wasn't familiar with them. Damn, I wish I had made that phone call.
Wish I had known they played Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival in San Francisco. I live near there; I could have seen them. The Festival is so big you can't see all the bands cuz there are so many stages. I just discovered this band right now.
@threepeice welcome to minnesota. Thats how lots of guys dress. can't go to heaven wearing gucci, but u can go w good music. Also, this is cleaned up for these guys. Love them.
these day bands only make money by touring and selling merch . to tour you have to draw a crowd - and this band can do that in spades.. they can write their own ticket and follow their passion - that is true success.. I could not be more happy for them.
This version is a lot better then the one they recorded for Stars and Satellites. Just my opinion though. I fucking love these guys. I'm going to see them in Asheville next week and I'm ready to rock the fuck out.
I would hate to see these guys go mainstream. They definitely don't get enough recognition, but a record contract would be a huge mistake. No one has done very well at controlling their own sound in at a major label since Zeppelin.... that an unverified comment. Still, these guys do just fine. I don't think they need money to make it. They obviously love what they do. As a musician, I know sometimes that's enough.
In some ways it makes it better....they have more than enough fans to make a living doing what they love but they aren't so big that they have to deal with the masses and media.

My hat is off to you brother. From Oklahoma, then North Carolina, now New Mexico.
She was vaxxed wasn't she... Tick tock vaxxies!
The violin alone on this song makes me cry...let's not even look at its lyrics.
Moving - living that this morning after my wife's burial yesterday. Thanks.
Alan Meyer my condolences Brother
sorry brother
I hope you're doing better
❤
Bless you my friend. I hope your life has found some normalcy again.
impossible to not love this bands sound

I cannot listen to this without crying. That violin reaches into a whole other depth of the soul.
Hello
1:28 That rug really pulls the room together.
just paid $200 to see them...and 30 other bands. they were awesome.
@Hello David Pumpkins, How are you doing?
that literally sounded just like it would not live. It takes alot of talent to do that
Bluegrass Purists annoy me, Everyone should be happy that TBT are real musicians that play REAL instruments and carry on the tradition of folk and bluegrass music, the songs and harmonies are amazing, so stop being so confining with your labels.
I'm MN when they first came about we called them bluegrass on crack. They have mellowed so well and are now a bluegrass of scotch
Not having their songs ass-rape your ears every hour on a top 40 radio station until you hate their music doesn't mean they don't get recognition.
This song so hit me hard. I lost my wife on May 4th, 2019. It's been so tough with out her.
Just saw them Saturday at the Banjo B Que festival in Evans, GA...and their rendition of this was spot-on; put a lump in the throat, it did.
@Hello yvwic50, How are you doing?
"Widower's Heart"
Can’t help it if I have a widower’s heart
Tried to get out of bed but I can’t seem to start
When I hit the road it was freezing and dark
I hope that it’s warmer wherever you are
I turned to say I’m sorry and I tried to explain
But the room it was empty and bitter and drained
No songs from the angels, no blood in my veins
Could ever replace you and here I remain
Oh, rain.
Come wash me and keep me and take my away.
New York was a rough place that suited me well
You bragged of religion and put me through hell
Maybe I’m better off, maybe it’s hard to tell
When I left you were sleeping through trumpets and bells
Oh, rain.
Come wash me and keep me and take my away.
Just one moment of peace, that would suit me so fine
But it’s echoes and glimpses of beautiful times
I’m sure it’s much harder on your end than mine
If you ever pass through here I’m not hard to find.
Oh, rain.
Come wash me and keep me and take my away.
Oh, rain.
Come wash me and keep me and take my away.
Painful but beautiful lyrics
great song. it soothes the soul just right.
One of those songs that puts a tear in your eye. Love those passing chords 0:36
Amazing song. Even better live.
I agree with you

I grew up with these guys saw them live many times met them all and the fact they are as humble and amazing as they are is amazing MN proud!
Lucky you☺️
Take heart. They're playing sold-out festivals now. Seeing them in October at a show that sold out in 5 minutes.
Just perfect !!! --- What soul keepers !!! --- They can relay the feeling like no other out there right now !!! --- Let me buy you guys a drink in Blacksburg in November !!!
I just saw these guys at the All Good Music Festival and was blown away. Can't wait to see the again. Wow!
Love this band!! So glad I found them!!
Just an awesome song done so well.
Hits me right in the heart....
Known you guys many years & this is it for me.. beautiful.. just so good.. love the music you guys have made. Hope we get the chance to see you again. NASHVILLE but an hour away 😉
Ive been playin this on the radio at work all week!

@harrisonjoe8579 I’m up in PA trying to relearn guitar again after a stroke knocked out the message path from brain to hand. But I’m getting there!
@harrisonjoe8579 Thanks. I am a very determined sort so I don’t expect that it’ll stop me. They also said I wouldn’t drive again but I am so if that isn’ a good sign then nothing is.
This is from their new album "Stars and Satellites" that comes out April 10th. Can't wait to see these guys in Portland on May 25th.
I cried so hard
Same
They just do something for me. I can't explain it. I don't think I need to. Just wow.
Oohuhuhuuu... ugh. No way to end that one other than deafening silence. She don't wanna quit.
Kudos, Lads. Bra-f'n-vo
someone I use to date is currently dying and this song is the only thing that can reach me sometimes
Such a blessing..thank you
i appreciate well crafted, well written music. Nothing insulting here.
Man, these guys got the right stuff.
beautiful - I play this at my friends funeral...

Beautiful!!! Love it! :) Keep up the great songs, boys!
This is their best version of this song by far
It's so good
about to see them next week in my backyard for free in Louisville for free ha!!! they play in the southern cut for no price..
Can not wait... for the new cd.
Stars And Satellites feels and sounds more introspective than the band's usual lighting fast bluegrass/rock/punk leanings. The result is a warmer, more cohesive album than the band has done before.
Fantastic Stuff, nobody better out there right now! Keep em coming!
this is what music should be like....
Aaaahaaamazing❤️😍
Its better that way, doing it because its real, they don't need recognition. They will be heard for how brilliant they are.
I had a shot at winning tickets (college alt-country show) to their ATL concert 3 days ago for tonight's show; but I wasn't familiar with them. Damn, I wish I had made that phone call.
so darn beautiful.
This is definitely my TbT song.
fn beautiful
just heard them for the first time on David Letterman. They were great!
whoa...chill
I cannot wait to hear them play in SF at Hardly Strictly!
Really
Amazing musicianship
Amazing!! They are just amazing!
Thank you

This is good s***!!
0 dislikes. Goddamn right.
what a great waltz
See you in San Diego!
they were just on Letterman, I was stunned.
Perfection!
awesome song!
Good news... it's what music is. You just have to fight to find it.
@threepeice welcome to minnesota. Thats how lots of guys dress. can't go to heaven wearing gucci, but u can go w good music. Also, this is cleaned up for these guys. Love them.
Great sound... think i found a new band to add to my albums

Best band ever...for me at least.
@tennesseetau, I agree. I think this version is amazing. The album version is growing on me but this one is just beautiful. Perfect song!
That violin solo is sweet..
where at? i saw them in Louisville a couple weeks ago, but not in a backyard. that would be amazing. that's a real show right there!
Hermosa
Chills
there really good..music for the soul if i dare say =]
This version is a lot better then the one they recorded for Stars and Satellites. Just my opinion though. I fucking love these guys. I'm going to see them in Asheville next week and I'm ready to rock the fuck out.
Their show in Wilmington, NC got rained out. They are supposed to reschedule.............they better
ahhhhhhhh
NICE SOUND
love love love this!!! anyone got the mandolin chords?

You guys need to come to NC aka the bluegrass capital of the world.
