My wife passed away Feb 29th, I was with her since highschool for 12 years. We sang this song together every day. I love you kaitlin with all my heart. Sad we didn't get to pick any ole road and start again. R.I.P
Things will brighten up brother. And just remember just because you can’t see her doesn’t mean she isn’t with you. She’s there. I can only imagine your Pain but I feel for you. If you want my advice. Pick up a guitar and learn to express yourself through it. It’s really helps
my good friend Jasmine died just 2 weeks ago. two months ago, just her and i were drinking beer and sharing some smoke. I asked her to listen to this song. immediately she stopped everything and gave this this her 100% attention. no body ever does that. and now i see just how much this song helps me connect with her and is a relatively good example of our relationship. thanks you two. and to everyone else, drive sober and tell the people you love that you love them every time you see them. better to be a dork than think they may have left not knowing.
I lost my cousin Danny Bruce Jr. To a over dose in May of fent. An her. Laced bullshit he was 31 an the oldest of triplets me an his brothers all lost without him I'm sorry for your loss hope grief gets Easier as time passes but I'm afraid it don't. He an her were prob. The best people
My dad was an alcoholic and dealt with personal issues his whole life. He’d sit at the kitchen table, drink, and listen to music that would just make him feel worse. I think he’d like this song, but I think it would actually mean something to him and help him remember the good times in his life. It’s his brother’s birthday today, and I took my dad’s urn to his his brother’s grave to visit him. I played this song for him because I think he would’ve liked it. Hope you’re continuing to rest in peace dad, and make up for lost time with your family. I love you, and I miss you
I showed my grandmother this song,My grandmother told me I need to stop listen to music like this when I drink because it will do exactly that,make u feel worse,my mother had m.s I had a very unique childhood and it just reminds me of so much that I get overwhelmed with almost every emotion at once,I can't explain it but it's not sadness
Feels good reading a comment like this. I think my old man would have liked this song too (probably for the same reasons), but like you, I didn’t have the chance to find out. Hope you’re doing ok
This is country music. Wanderers. Artists. Those who have not a penny to their name, just doing what it takes. Men and women with pain so deep you can hear it in their music and see it in their eyes. Yet they push on. To entertain you and I. Thank you for this beautiful song!
Ummm.... are you referring to these 2 as having nothing? Cuz . ... you should watch some of Ben's videos... they have a lot. But they worked SO HARD for it.
I found these two, after freeing myself from the bounds of opiates, 8 long, disgusting years. I'm now going through releasing my guilt, and anger towards myself. Your music is such a good stepping stone for feeling better. Thank you, both.
It's been 17 years for me I'm 34 now. I am trying to find the motivation to get clean but it's hard after being all I knew for so long. I gave up needles about 6 weeks ago tho and went back to smoking it which was a huge step for me towards getting clean!
you know, if this was the kind of country they actually played on so-called country radio, perhaps I wouldn't have grown up assuming that I hated country...
"My grandmothers lullaby's used to sing me to sleep, hell I can't sleep now a days without liquid relief. Well if lullaby's were whiskey then my grandmas drinks were cheap! I can't afford, sleep anymore!!!"
My wife has played in nationwide symphony orchestras and thinks you are the best violinist she has ever heard. Your music has a soothing feel to it that makes me remember the hills i grew up in. Thank you so much for making me cry. i am a hard man, as my father taught me to be, but your music made me cry when i first heard it.
@@RustyShackleford382 the way you play it, where you're from, and the heart that goes into it. The bow hairs absorb your feelings. It's an instrument for your feelings. It's all magical and bow to those that can harness our strife and gumption. Alot of history are in these songs.
Yea... into a marriage. I've been exploring the "for worse" up and down foot hills for the last 2 years. Sleep is a memory that I can no longer verify.
Dude, I just saw them open for The Devil Makes Three last night. All the emotions poured into all the songs they played made me cry a little.Freakin great stuff
@@kiera6170 It was a first date for me. The lady i was with also had an emotional connection . She cried during a song that hit close to her heart. Best first date ever! Seeing them April 25 , 2019 in Philadelphia. Can't wait
[Verse 1] There was a very sacred place back where I grew Between three old pine trees that nobody knew I'd close my eyes and pass the time like youngin's often do But now I'm long gone, completely ruined Darlin' you and I were made for many different things To live and learn and lie and laugh, fight and dance and sing But our hearts have been so battered by the things that we have seen And I can feel it in the way you look at me [Chorus] We could pick any old road and start again Hell, we could change our names and try to forget Lord knows I'll be sorry when it's done But circumstances shot us down like September doves Circumstances shot us down like September doves [Verse 2] My grandmother's lullabies used to sing me to sleep I can't sleep nowadays without liquid relief Well if lullabies were whiskey then my Grandma's drinks were cheap I can't afford sleep anymore And we were never made for love our souls are far too old But loneliness needs company and a lost dog needs a home So you will be the fire and I will be the coal Baby we can burn out of control
That second verse is great. "My grandmother's lullabies used to sing me to sleep I can't sleep nowadays without liquid relief Well if lullabies were whiskey then my Grandma's drinks were cheap I can't afford sleep anymore" Just a really nicely executed metaphor. Super great lyrics.
This album is on a regular rotation in my house and truck. Driving around with my 9yr old daughter today....this song comes on, and she starts singing along. Made my heart happy to know she has an appreciation for simple, soulful music. I love all of your work, and glad I can share it with people around me.
So proud of you Mr. Todd. The day this video came out I was a deep fan of your music and message. You've gotten clean now, you beat a unbeatable monster without a face. Now we see you absolutely get to see. You will die on this mountain.
I lost my best friend last year and this song is one of my favorite memories witth her. She was always there til the very end, even when I was drunk and wasn't worth being around. Circumstances shot us down like september doves. I'll always wish i could go back and be sober and in the right mind to cherish those moments.
We are merely vessels, though some of us have been deemed channels to alleviate. Whosever up there has touched these people to give us relief. We see you and appreciate you. 💜❤️
What I would give to sit down and talk and play with this man... Been a huge fan for years now and it never gets old, as a 23 year old born in the wrong time it makes me happy to know there are still people like this out there!

The first time I heard this I thought it sounded like an Irish folk singer doing bluegrass. It really gets back into the roots of the genre with that sound.
Without the Irish and Scottish that settled our Kentucky mountains and brought their recipe for whiskey and so many other things we wouldn’t be watching this wonderful slice of Americana today. So, we thank you!
I love how you can see in his face in his eyes and everything about him that he really really believes in what he's singing it's very very very rare that you find that. these guys are awesomeness!!!
My best friend just died 3 nights ago. He introduced yall to me when I was hitting my hardest times. Recovery. Y’all definitely know how to hit the heart strings and I relate . Y’all’s music will forever keep my brother in my heart with a beat.
This song very quickly turned into my favorite song the last few week. The part about alcohol-addiction and the metaphor to sleep-lullabies makes my hairs stand up everytime.
This song is so real, so relatable on a real human level, that if more music like this was played on the radio, more kids would appreciate country up north and elsewhere and not write it off as "old folk's music". Good non-commercial country music isn't played on the radio
For context, I'm 28 and live in Toledo, Ohio 😆 and people here only seem to appreciate Toby Keith type country. but my worldview's pretty limited and hopefully I'm selling my hometown short
The beautiful thing about this song is that anyone who's been thru addiction, and loss, and heartbreak will find the lyrics and melody intertwine perfectly with their lives in ways most songs never will. Ben and Ashley really know how to make music for the people society forgets about
This is the type of music that touches your soul. Some may say too basic but you don't need much when it's that good. Absolutely love it. This is what country music is not the garbage you hear on your radio stations
Did the same withdrawling from heroin. Ben makes his music for the lost ones like us. I've been clean for a few months now, I hope you're doing better as well. If not don't give up just yet ok?
I've been a junkie on and off for 20 years. This song means a lot to me And when I relapse and hear the line..despise the man in the mirror hits like no other. I appreciate you and your music. Ty brother
I've come back to hear this song at least a hundred times. I can feel it in the way you look at me. Lost Dogs, Your spirits enthrall me, your words give my heart power to push through. Peace be with you all.
The person who introduced this song to me meant a lot to me for a very brief window of time. Every once in a while, this song pops into my head and I remember singing with him in the car as he drove us to whatever destination we had.. never knowing it would be over as quick as it began. I hope he doesn't share this song with everyone who comes into his life.. this is one of those that I would rather hold close to my heart while I try to remember the good in him. I hope meth hasnt taken your life yet Justin. Circumstances shut us down like September doves..
@@MrAwsomeshot So? I would be more into the Dead South if I liked shitty music, I guess. Canada is just Yankee with a side of syrup. Fuck yourself bloody.
haven’t listened to them or benjamin todd much these last few years, but i saw someone in the liquor store with an old lost dog street band shirt so i complimented him on it and we got into a really good conversation about them and music and even learned that the man worked with benjamin todd in a mill back when they were about 16-17. he said benjamin is one of the kindest, most genuine people he’s ever met in his life. decided to jump back into the music and i’m so happy that i did
I had the pleasure of seeing these two live with The Devil Makes Three - and wow, they have an incredible sound - so unique. One of the best live shows I have ever seen. Keep playing!
I'm still listening... been to see em twice and would do it again. This is in my top five songs , vids, performances,or whatever you want to catoragize it as! Period.
Ok so I just found these guys today. I must say I love them. They are keeping alive a sound that I thought was gone a long time ago. Being raised by my grandmother I heard a lot of this type of music. Every family reunion all the old schools would get out their instruments and play. This right here brings back memories.
@@AmberSkye369, thank you for the kind words, if you only knew what and how they affected me. I would try, I promise you that, however, that is not our reality. I wish you nothing but the best friend!!!!
@@jeremiahprice2906 For some of reason I know but we all have our stories and travel pur own paths. This music though, these words connect kindred spirits in ways that cant be explained. I know my life is more fulfilled thanks to the talent and soul I hear when I listen to this music, even when I can only replay it in my mind.
My great grandfather is buried in that cemetery in Madison. It's the US Military graveyard near Nashville I noticed it right away! He fought in World War 2. He was mean as a rattlesnake, but called me Peeper bc my eyes were so big as a baby. I miss him. So awesome that the graveyard he's buried in is in one of my favorite songs.
I can't listen to Benjamin without breaking down.. No matter the tune. Raw, honest emotion is sooo HARD to market for some unearthly reason... I'll never understand that... Hard truths always make for the best song material
It's been a year since I lost my grandfather. A year yesterday. I've never felt music in my heart as much as I feel this. I couldn't contain myself this morning , normally I'm very emotionally withdrawn. This song brings out feelings and emotions that I can't contain. This & "Terrible & True. I can't express how grateful I am for your music.
Man.. I just found you guys through a buddy down in Ashland just a couple of months ago, after I introduced him to Tyler Childers. You hit my heart my heart with a boulder every time I hear you brother. And my lovely lady pouring her soul out with this violin.. My God. Thank you. From the bottom of my heart..
I just want yall to know that yalls music has helped me through some of the darkest times in my life. It soothes the lonesome in my soul. Keep makin the good stuff for us lost dogs.
I like to listen to this song when I relapse with drinking. Makes me feel guilty and wanna stop, feel selfish. Love everything you write, love you two.

I love these guys. Thank you. If your reading this, please remember whatever your going through there is hope, my entire life has been destroyed but other doors opened for me too. Music is the only thing which understands us. The Black Sheep understand. Much love to you warriors of life. God bless you all.
Idk how to explain the way that kick drum makes me feel? At least as far as I know. But I think it is the randomness maybe. Like it's not complete random but it's not played as a pattern. It comes in and suddenly stops in odd but awesome moments that keeps me on the edge trying to time it perfect coming in and going out. I actually look forward to it unlike literally any other tune I have listened to EVER. And that it a big shoe to fill.
I forget what video it was, but he was playing guitar, playing harmonica, playing a foot pedal for a drum on his left foot and a foot pedal for a high hat or tambourine on his right foot. ALL WHILE HE WAS SINGING. Its insane

Who’s still here listening in 2024?
Just showed up... sorry I'm late... (first time I ever said that n meant it) 😂
It's still such a great song

It still reminds me of the taste of hope.

My dad was an alcoholic and dealt with personal issues his whole life. He’d sit at the kitchen table, drink, and listen to music that would just make him feel worse. I think he’d like this song, but I think it would actually mean something to him and help him remember the good times in his life.

[Verse 1]
There was a very sacred place back where I grew
Between three old pine trees that nobody knew
I'd close my eyes and pass the time like youngin's often do
But now I'm long gone, completely ruined
Darlin' you and I were made for many different things
To live and learn and lie and laugh, fight and dance and sing
But our hearts have been so battered by the things that we have seen
And I can feel it in the way you look at me
[Chorus]
We could pick any old road and start again
Hell, we could change our names and try to forget
Lord knows I'll be sorry when it's done
But circumstances shot us down like September doves
Circumstances shot us down like September doves
[Verse 2]
My grandmother's lullabies used to sing me to sleep
I can't sleep nowadays without liquid relief
Well if lullabies were whiskey then my Grandma's drinks were cheap
I can't afford sleep anymore
And we were never made for love our souls are far too old
But loneliness needs company and a lost dog needs a home
So you will be the fire and I will be the coal
Baby we can burn out of control
I think he said completely in ruins? But I couldn’t even decipher the completely as you did
Thanks. Could it be "circumstance has shot us down like September doves"?

Now we see you absolutely get to see. You will die on this mountain.
I couldn't tell you how many times I've listened to this song and every time it feels like the first time.
The part where he looks at the camera and says that “he can feel it in the way you look at me” is pure gold.
Good stuff
I've pointed that out to everyone i show this song to for years ! Haha I thought I was the only one who noticed 😅
You can see the pain in his eyes when he says he can’t afford sleep anymore too. This guy puts his heart and soul into his music.
That lady is cool, diggin her vibe, great song mate, you guys make country cool again. Australia here ❤
I could listen to this song forever. In fact I just might. I can't seem to stop.
With you on that one, brother. I'm pretty sure at least 100 of these plays are from me alone
I listen every day. Seen them twice live. Excellence!

damn what a songwriter letme tell ya its costly and hard on a soul to get to where u can write it all down but if u can live through with a clear mind
matthew sawyer absolutely
Josh Rivera thank you! I think it's "lie & laugh" though :)
Danke
Are these official per Ben? Sounds like "We were never made for love our souls are far to ruled" not old. Beautiful song I get you brother!
The first time I heard this I thought it sounded like an Irish folk singer doing bluegrass. It really gets back into the roots of the genre with that sound.
Same brother my wife too
Greetings from Northern Ireland, great sound and a class tune. Thanks for sharing.
Without the Irish and Scottish that settled our Kentucky mountains and brought their recipe for whiskey and so many other things we wouldn’t be watching this wonderful slice of Americana today. So, we thank you!
Another northern Irish man here loving this
Uppa norn iron😂😂😂 but real talk I'm from same patch and these guys are fire
Norn Irish here 🙋🏼♂️ living in Norway though
Real country is not dead. It lives on call it what you will.
I love how you can see in his face in his eyes and everything about him that he really really believes in what he's singing it's very very very rare that you find that. these guys are awesomeness!!!
My best friend just died 3 nights ago. He introduced yall to me when I was hitting my hardest times. Recovery. Y’all definitely know how to hit the heart strings and I relate . Y’all’s music will forever keep my brother in my heart with a beat.
Hey, Thanks! I will let them know you said that! They are my aunt and uncle- if you don't believe me go to my tiktok, @maddi_grrl☺
So sorry for yr loss 😢
Thanks y’all. Keep on truckin
@@justinblankenship8221 Hope you're doing well!
This song very quickly turned into my favorite song the last few week. The part about alcohol-addiction and the metaphor to sleep-lullabies makes my hairs stand up everytime.
Jeronimus Birch yes!
It makes me sad
The look in his eyes as he says "I can't afford sleep anymore" tells it all.
God bless him for getting that out into song.
Literally same !!!!
:`( Seriously, every time...
This song is so real, so relatable on a real human level, that if more music like this was played on the radio, more kids would appreciate country up north and elsewhere and not write it off as "old folk's music". Good non-commercial country music isn't played on the radio
For context, I'm 28 and live in Toledo, Ohio 😆 and people here only seem to appreciate Toby Keith type country. but my worldview's pretty limited and hopefully I'm selling my hometown short
The beautiful thing about this song is that anyone who's been thru addiction, and loss, and heartbreak will find the lyrics and melody intertwine perfectly with their lives in ways most songs never will. Ben and Ashley really know how to make music for the people society forgets about
This is the type of music that touches your soul. Some may say too basic but you don't need much when it's that good. Absolutely love it. This is what country music is not the garbage you hear on your radio stations
I’ve sat on the kitchen floor, drunk and cried to this song too many times
It gets better man. You and me both. I've cried my fucking eyes out to this song. Keep your head up brother.
Did the same withdrawling from heroin. Ben makes his music for the lost ones like us. I've been clean for a few months now, I hope you're doing better as well. If not don't give up just yet ok?
Just know you are not alone ❤
I've been a junkie on and off for 20 years. This song means a lot to me And when I relapse and hear the line..despise the man in the mirror hits like no other. I appreciate you and your music. Ty brother
Hope your on the off part and never go back to the on
this song gives me feelings ive never had before… pure chills
I've come back to hear this song at least a hundred times. I can feel it in the way you look at me. Lost Dogs, Your spirits enthrall me, your words give my heart power to push through. Peace be with you all.
The person who introduced this song to me meant a lot to me for a very brief window of time. Every once in a while, this song pops into my head and I remember singing with him in the car as he drove us to whatever destination we had.. never knowing it would be over as quick as it began.
I hope he doesn't share this song with everyone who comes into his life.. this is one of those that I would rather hold close to my heart while I try to remember the good in him.
I hope meth hasnt taken your life yet Justin.
Circumstances shut us down like September doves..
He’s like the old time country and folk singers. His lyrics are dark, but they’re real.
This is one of my all time favourite songs. Looking forward to whenever they can come to Australia!
This will always be my favorite because it was the first one for me. Gonna miss you guys
miss you guys? how do you mean
@@rsykaiskinner4350 they are on an indefinite hiatus from touring. Not retired or dead or anything like that haha.
Lost of love and appreciating from an Irish man in beautiful Colorado. This is music. 🇺🇸 🇮🇪
I don’t make comments often but this song moves me. I hope more will be introduced to this duo. Simply beautiful.
Is this what freedom feels like?
Sigurd Drachentöter what a beautiful way to say something.
Beautiful!!
❤️
Certainly
This is what being human feels like. Hope you're doing well J.
It’s talent when two people sound like a 5 piece band. And ur words actually make sense. Born with talent.
Can they please have a concert with Tyler Childers, Colter Wall and Charlie Crockett??
and shawn james, and the dead south. so many good ones
Tyler and these 2 are way more real than colter or dead south .
@@Johndoe-gd4tb dead south is yankee garbage but colter wall is solid.
@john cox the dead south and Colter wall are both from canada you waste of oxygen.
@@MrAwsomeshot So? I would be more into the Dead South if I liked shitty music, I guess. Canada is just Yankee with a side of syrup. Fuck yourself bloody.
haven’t listened to them or benjamin todd much these last few years, but i saw someone in the liquor store with an old lost dog street band shirt so i complimented him on it and we got into a really good conversation about them and music and even learned that the man worked with benjamin todd in a mill back when they were about 16-17. he said benjamin is one of the kindest, most genuine people he’s ever met in his life. decided to jump back into the music and i’m so happy that i did
Love this song, this is REAL music.
Sounds really pleasant to hear, but, at the same time, extremely painful. Just like life itself.
Thanks Lost Dog for this one
If you are ever feeling down just remember you can pick any old road and start again.
I needed to read this , thanks brother
-Danny, Los Angeles
I had the pleasure of seeing these two live with The Devil Makes Three - and wow, they have an incredible sound - so unique. One of the best live shows I have ever seen. Keep playing!
Incredibly jealous... must have been quite the time.
It really was an incredible show. We got to say hi after the show, great people
that sounds like it'd be a kick ass show, cant even imagine
i'm so jealous of you, so lucky
The Devil Makes Three is an amazing band, I find myself listening to them daily. also Turnpike Troubadours are a great band.
Wow this song is awesome ❤
You ain't wrong
I'm still listening... been to see em twice and would do it again.
This is in my top five songs , vids, performances,or whatever you want to catoragize it as! Period.
Ok so I just found these guys today. I must say I love them. They are keeping alive a sound that I thought was gone a long time ago. Being raised by my grandmother I heard a lot of this type of music. Every family reunion all the old schools would get out their instruments and play. This right here brings back memories.
This isn't normally my type of music, but this is an amazing song. I can't stop listening to it.
As a recovering addict, loser of love and trying to maintain, this soothes my soul. I love these guys!!
Im trying so hard Amber, god damnit I am. My eyes can not cry anymore tears.
@@jeremiahprice2906 I am proud of you for the feedback and authenticity, and I too live with a deeper feeling in my soul thanks to this music.
@@AmberSkye369, thank you for the kind words, if you only knew what and how they affected me. I would try, I promise you that, however, that is not our reality. I wish you nothing but the best friend!!!!
@@jeremiahprice2906 For some of reason I know but we all have our stories and travel pur own paths. This music though, these words connect kindred spirits in ways that cant be explained. I know my life is more fulfilled thanks to the talent and soul I hear when I listen to this music, even when I can only replay it in my mind.
Hey, They are my aunt and uncle :) And ashely's brother (My dad) Tyler is also a recovering addict
This could be the greatest country folk group I ever heard. So glad I discovered this band.
He has some real talent. That’s for sure.
Music.Whiskey, beer and a golden Lab. Sounds like heaven to me... Love you two...
My great grandfather is buried in that cemetery in Madison. It's the US Military graveyard near Nashville I noticed it right away! He fought in World War 2. He was mean as a rattlesnake, but called me Peeper bc my eyes were so big as a baby. I miss him. So awesome that the graveyard he's buried in is in one of my favorite songs.
I can't listen to Benjamin without breaking down.. No matter the tune. Raw, honest emotion is sooo HARD to market for some unearthly reason... I'll never understand that... Hard truths always make for the best song material
FORREAL YO
“I can’t afford to sleep anymore” I love that. Summed it up.
Just heard this song yesterday. Probably played it 50 times now. It is hands down the best song I’ve ever heard.
It's been a year since I lost my grandfather. A year yesterday. I've never felt music in my heart as much as I feel this. I couldn't contain myself this morning , normally I'm very emotionally withdrawn. This song brings out feelings and emotions that I can't contain. This & "Terrible & True. I can't express how grateful I am for your music.
My girl wanted to play this song at our wedding. She’s gone but this song still makes me happy in a way
Man.. I just found you guys through a buddy down in Ashland just a couple of months ago, after I introduced him to Tyler Childers. You hit my heart my heart with a boulder every time I hear you brother. And my lovely lady pouring her soul out with this violin.. My God. Thank you. From the bottom of my heart..
Dustin Glahn Ashland MS??
Can't tell you how glad I am I found Lost Dog Street band...quite by accident...or was it?? Everything happens for a reason. You speak to my soul
Jill Asbill I had the same awakening 2 yrs ago. My life has changed 100%.. I know I’m not alone on this earth anymore...
Found them by accident back when their vids were getting 3 likes. I'm glad to see so many finding them. Most amazing music
@@josephfriend7442 I knew them when they had 1 like. And it was my like
@@MrWackozacko I knew them before they were even thought of!! Met there moms and talked to their bellies.
This man branches so many genre. This is what everyone in the shipping department listens to regardless if they like it. Love you guys
Wild the sounds that 2 human beings can bring to this cold cold world.
🗽
Where has this been my whole life. I lost my beautiful wife 3 years ago . If I could see her one more time, I would play her this song
I lost 6 people after the vaccines too.
This song along with many other has helped me cry thru stomp and sing through the pain!! And sometimes just feel it!!! Thank you!!
I just want yall to know that yalls music has helped me through some of the darkest times in my life. It soothes the lonesome in my soul. Keep makin the good stuff for us lost dogs.
I hope you have found your way
I like to listen to this song when I relapse with drinking. Makes me feel guilty and wanna stop, feel selfish. Love everything you write, love you two.
That second verse always gets to me. “And I can feel
It in the way you look at me”
"If lullabies were whiskey then my grandmas drinks were cheap"
There was a very sacred place back where I grew
Between three old pine trees that nobody knew
I'd close my eyes and pass the time like youngin's often do
But now I'm long gone, completely ruined
Darlin' you and I were made for many different things
To live and learn and lie and life, fight and dance and sing
But our hearts have been so battered by the things that we have seen
And I can feel it in the way you look at me
[Chorus]
We could pick any old road and start again
Hell, we could change our names and try to forget
Lord knows I'll be sorry when it's done
But circumstances shot us down like September doves
Circumstances shot us down like September doves
[Verse 2]
My grandmother's lullabies used to sing me to sleep
I can't sleep nowadays without liquid relief
Well if lullabies were whiskey then my Grandma's drinks were cheap
I can't afford sleep anymore
And we were never made for love our souls are far too old
But loneliness needs company and a lost dog needs a home
So you will be the fire and I will be the coal
Baby we can burn out of control
your work makes me happy, thanks :).
I love these guys just found them through a friend at work I can't get enough
Truly singing my life right now... still trying to find my fire.
This song hits so deep, so much soul. Raw character in each strum, the voice paints a picture of pain and rejoice.
I love these guys. Thank you. If your reading this, please remember whatever your going through there is hope, my entire life has been destroyed but other doors opened for me too. Music is the only thing which understands us. The Black Sheep understand. Much love to you warriors of life. God bless you all.
Do we all agree this is what music should sound like? Another great tune from BT
Lost dog *
That drum is my heartbeat.
9mmDentalPlan You may need to go to the doctor.....pretty spaced out lol
Idk how to explain the way that kick drum makes me feel? At least as far as I know. But I think it is the randomness maybe. Like it's not complete random but it's not played as a pattern. It comes in and suddenly stops in odd but awesome moments that keeps me on the edge trying to time it perfect coming in and going out. I actually look forward to it unlike literally any other tune I have listened to EVER. And that it a big shoe to fill.
Absolutely feel related on every single verse and string. Thank you for writing this, I really appreciate it.
My only faith in modern music has been restored by you and your wife , lucky man and lucky us , thank you lots of love from scotland
As I sit here and wait for my ride under the bridge a wonderful flock of doves flew by we love you guys and miss you.
Wonderful music sourced from a facet of a tortured soul. Thank you for shining light on that facet, and speaking for a part of us all.
Bro. He’s keeping the beat on the foot pedal, playing guitar, AND singing. Jesus
I forget what video it was, but he was playing guitar, playing harmonica, playing a foot pedal for a drum on his left foot and a foot pedal for a high hat or tambourine on his right foot. ALL WHILE HE WAS SINGING. Its insane
Just found it, its them covering waiting around to die by townes
Most folks don't understand how hard it is just to keep timing while playing and singing
I love this band. Two months I've listened to nothing else, beautiful heart warming music many thanks forget the main stream support these guys 🤘
Ur music saved me. When no1 listened Lost Dog Street Band did. Thru homelessness, job loss n str8 drifting, lost dog was there... I owe y'all my life
