    Ryan and Dave are rabble rousin', teenage cousins
    Difference is Dave has an off switch, and Ryan doesn’t
    Twenty years later now Dave behaves rank and file
    And Ryan’s a burnt-out adult, last gasp, wild child
    "How ya doing Dave?" Ryan sheepishly asks
    “Your the last guy in the world I want to call up with this trash
    But bro can I hit ya up for a little cash? Man I’m on one leg and it's the last
    "Man I can help you Ryan if you go to detox
    But I ain't spotting you shit for more pills or rocks
    Jamie’s worried about you being round our kids
    She don’t want it around, no and's, but's or if's"
    "Ok ill do it
    Ok ill do it
    Ok ill do it do it do it
    Ok ill do it"
    It's time, it's time, it's time
    It’s time, its time, it’s time
    "Let me stay the night and I’ll go in the morning
    It's not like I didn't have a fifteen-year warning
    I’m thirty-five, I’m half alive, without a pot to piss in
    I’m dead broke on worse than coke and homeless"
    It's time, it's time, it's time
    It’s time, its time, its time
    It's time, it's time, it's time
    It’s time, its time, it’s time
    "Ok ill do it
    Ok ill do it
    Ok ill do it do it do it
    Ok ill do it"
    Six twenty-six in the morning didn't need an alarm
    I couldn’t sleep a wink, I’m betting my whole farm
    Left Dave's place at 8, just drove, didn't really talk
    I shook his hand and popped the door to make the walk
    Applied for admission at the detox shop
    Got to the door it said open, 10 o'clock
    It's freezing out, no way that I can make it to ten
    Look back at my truck at my only real friend
    It's time it's time its time
    Its time its time its time
    It's time it's time its time
    It’s time its time its time
    "Ok ill do it
    Ok ill do it
    Ok ill do it do it do it
    Ok ill do it"

      In fact, growing up isn't all that bad. You get to enjoy things more because you do it for yourself. You cannot afford this as a teenager. Let me give you an example. The usual cooking in childhood is simply unnecessary. Your parents do everything for you. But having matured, cooking becomes something chill and useful, since it is done for yourself, which is very cool I guess. Sorry for my not that good English please.

    One small detail I think I noticed: At the end (about 3:17) Ryan is skating on a skateboard while Dave is on a longboard. Skateboards are smaller, faster, and harder to control (crazier if you will) while longboards are bigger, slower, but very easy to control (well-mannered if you will). These match Ryan and Dave's personalities, with Ryan being the crazier more rowdy one, and Dave being the quieter more reserved one.

    • @TheKnocturne
      @TheKnocturne Год назад +7

      Since to me they look about the same in size I would guess they are both skateboards, but the distinction here i believe is that Ryan seems to not have grip tape on his board an intentional choice that makes skating much more dangerous while Dave has grip tape. I think this shows that Ryan makes intentionally dangerous decisions that can go badly easily and are hard to get out of i.e. him doing drugs or seeming to yell at someone near the beginning intentionally dangerous decisions that easily could have and are shown to have gone bad and that he is struggling getting out of.

  • @oneangryboi408

    Not only did Dave help Ryan get a place to stay, but he stayed by his side to make sure he did go get detoxed. That's a true friend. I really love that even his wife cared about Ryan and wanted him to get help as well, bidding him goodbye.
    You tend not to hear good stories where past friends end up helping each other to the end, especially if one ends up on drugs and needs help getting clean. This is heartwarming and I was scared and expected something bad to happen at the end. But it ended well. I love these story driven songs. Always will love you Rare Americans.

      oh god i'm still traumatized from my mums drinking days. after her dad passed away she went on a downward spiral and got so drunk every night and made suicide attempts at least 3 times per week for about a year, and i was the only person living with her, and nobody else in the family came to help out. i couldnt sleep as i needed to keep an eye on her constantly and getting people sectioned over suicidal behavior is quite difficult in the uk. or at least it was at the time. she eventually went cold turkey (very dangerous for somebody that had been drinking since she was 13 years old, please make sure your mother does her detox in a safe manner, i think it should be done in rehab to be honest). her last drink was about 8 or 9 years ago but i still have nightmares and wake up crying. my last episode was last night. i dont think i will ever recover. by god i hope your mother isnt suffering as bad as that, but if she is, you have my undying sympathy and respect for having to live with it. i know it is really really really fucking hard to live with, but if you need to vent to a friendly stranger i am willing to be that stranger if you need. stay strong bro.

She eventually stopped communication with him since she didn't want that influence on her children. But when push came to shove she still really does care for her friend and husband's cousin. She wants him to get better and have him in her family's life. Just a theory tho

    I love the hug at 2:30. There are genuinely so many people who live in the streets or are addicted who long so intensely to just feel the comfort of another person treating them human. It’s so very real. There are a lot of studies demonstrating that the best tool for overcoming addiction isn’t medical or therapeutic, it’s just having people around you who understand and love you, many addicts will attest to the fact that their love for their friends and family is what motivated them to stick with the program. In the occasion that people do relapse, it tends to be from chemical addiction-or, because they suffer a great loss or change in their social circle.

I'm still having trouble but I'm slowly cutting down on the drinking and although life still throws plenty of bullshit at me, i still feel proud because I'm finally making an effort. This song hits close to home and i love it.

    Idk if you will ever read this, but this song has helped me handle my best friend/soul brother addiction w a gentle approach. I showed him this video when talking about how I felt and it stuck w him. He is now working on going sober, it hasn't been easy, I had to put boundaries, I had to learn to say no to him, but I also supported him w his therapy, accompany him to his monthly group meeting so he didn't felt so alone and also went to help him clean his room.
    I had hear a lot of songs that talks about handling a loving one when they are struggling w addiction, but yours is the one that feels like it comes from a place or love and care and that means the world to me. As a detail, I love how Jamey hugs Ryan before he goes to rehab, she knows Dave loves Ryan and want to help him, so even if she is wary bc she has kids, she doesn't see Ryan as lesser for struggling w addiction. I know it seems like a minor detail,but it seriously opened my eyes the first time I listened to your song. Thank you, Rare Americans 🖤🖤

    I love how every song has a story like how in cats dogs and rats shows how bad prison is and how messed up the justice system is ( at least that’s how I interpret it). In brittle bones Nicky it talks about how child abuse and bullying can change a person. And Ryan and Dave shows what drugs can do to harm someone and their life’s and friendships.

    I love how there are different symbols in the music video. For one the art is amazing, but besides that, the one cousin, a pug bull dog mix maybe, has his life together, and it’s easy for him, because he gives off the look of domestication. While as the other cousin is more wild and wolf like, just like his looks.
    It’s also cool about the colors, you can’t tell if the wolf is high because his eyes are always red, and you’d think that red and green, the colors that each brother are, would not wrk out in the end and would clash, but they pushed through together.
    Overall I love his video and can’t wait for more!!!

    Edit: I have learned that ryan is actually a coyote, soo I don’t know what do think

      I think since it was dead, and taking the line about him being half alive, he stared at it because he knew he had a problem that would end in an early death if he didn't fix it.

    It actually makes a lot of sense for Ryan to be a wolf, he’s wild and Dave’s a domesticated pug, but with help he was able to calm himself

    “I look back at my truck and my only real friend” is a line that really puts in perspective ryans life. He knew the people around him were a bad influence and Dave is the only one he could actually trust. Which really makes me question the people I find that are my friends

    Songs like "Ryan and Dave", "Gas Mask" and "Rule the world". They really hit that soft spot about the idea of taking care of yourself and dealing through your problems. All beautiful lyrics and astonishing songs. Just how good Rare Americans are at making music and delivering a message in it.
