When I first heard this song I just started dating this girl so I related to the toxic love that it was but after we broke up I turned to addiction and I had alot of iv user friends and saw were they went and now I think its about addiction...this man's music can hit on so many different levels
I feel love can be an addiction also. Its a sad reminder to me of a family that I could have had and still willing to do anything for it. Dont get me wrong great co parents her and i are but i still miss the relationship and this song is how i feel about it
[Verse 1] Went to the bar To get a little closer to myself and learn Things I never really wanted to know The walk got a little far So I got into a cab that smelled like vinegar Stains that showed what's in the girl before [Bridge 1] But I want to be Where all the stupid things I say Sounds so romantic and true [Chorus] Cause I'd rot in hell with you If you'd just ask me to I love the shitty things we do together Live with me in this sin forever Hell, and you - I know you want it too I say, take the shot, see this chance Feel the fire and let me have this Dance with you [Verse 2] We take things a little far But you couldn't name a place I wouldn't go with you A plane, a train, a car, I'd run If I was dead I'd float I'd crawl in bed with you Even on someone else's blood On top of someone else's love In the worst motel we find [Bridge 2] Cause home is the last place That I'd stand to be with anyone but you [Chorus] Cause I'd rot in hell with you If you'd just ask me to I love the shitty things we do together Live with me in this sin forever Hell, and you - I know you want it too I say, take the shot, see this chance Feel the fire and let me have this Dance with you
He was an opening act for Clutch in detroit last year, Almost skipped his opening act, but I was extermely happy I did not. He won me as a fan that day. He look crazy as hell when he sings, but his music is beautifully haunting.
Keith Lubeck I think that’s what makes it even better, how he seems so creepily synch and part of his music, like he himself transforms into what we hear
You are a voice of a subconscious self hating yet mischievous alcoholic demon who got out of jail like two years ago who just got out of a semi bad relationship. I’ll always be a fan
idea for an alternative Southern music festival: Amigo the Devil, Billy Strings, Sturgill Simpson, Tyler Childers, Colter Wall, The Dead South, Shaky Graves, Uncle Lucious, Larkin Poe, Benjamin Todd, Bridge City Sinners, Gangstagrass, Devil Makes Three, Trampled by Turtles, Sierra Ferrell, Molly Tuttle, Alison Krauss, Tim Eriksen, Arlo McKinley, and Abby the Spoon Lady!
Oh this is the superior version. The song is unhinged already and the multiple different ranges he switches between while singing only add to it in the best way.
Some of his expressions in this video perfectly show how he is a little messed up in the head but mostly normal on the outside. He feels a little distant and like he could snap at anytime but probably won't. Great job with this!
@@mattwright8631 Cocaine is a white powedry (sometimes rocky) substance, yah goof, not a guy singing in a grotto. You've been getting ripped off by your coke guy, my guy.
I fucking LOVE the mania and disassociation in his eyes during this performance. Been there...hard. So often. No song hits that desperate last thread of sanity quite this good.
What amazing talent. Raw, deep, honest, a bit dark, yeah, but we all have that… turning it into this… a haunted echo in the grotto. I love artists. Chef’s kiss.
I first read your comment and thought "no, way. Its a dark romantic song." And now every time I listen to it, I picture him holding a bottle of liquor, and it makes complete sense. Having family members who suffer from it, 100%. Congrats to you on overcoming it!
I was thinking about dope "id crawl in bed with you, even on someone else's blood" or even "I say you take the shot see this chance feel the fire and let me have this dance with you
@@RussellHeck-s9s I think as he opens with "went to the bar to get a littler closer to myself" means this is his personal journey with alcohol, however it could be more widely perceived as any drug addiction
Lol were all right the beautiful thing about ATD is not only the imagery he gives in his lyrics but alot of it can interpreted many different ways which reaches the ears and souls of just that many more people
agreed. and fucking impressive on your end too. i see so many people on here says that this man is a lunatic because of his facial expressions etc. real music evocates emotions and conjures specific energies that an artist is trying to convey. he is simply overwhelmed with emotion. honestly i love this dude. and watching your vids makes me want to do something decadent or nefarious, definately carnal! thanks B S Sinners for many good night of tunes that conjure energies as well.
To the woman who showed me this song- our time was short and it ended hard, but our little moment we spent together taught me so much and despite how it ended I’ll never regret it. Thank you for all the music you showed me, thank you for being my friend.
You're an absolute gem of a song writer. Please don't stop. I imagine it is difficult; but, please, know that there are people absolutely moved by what you do. "I'd cry a hundred times for you, no matter what you'd do."
I agree with this statement 100% but, I also think it is an undersell of his vulnerable songwriting that we don’t get to see very much. So yes, protect this person and allow them to continue to express for us that can’t do the same with such passion. ❤
Am I the only one who feels like Danny ate some mushies before doing this video, the look in his eyes and expressions on his face, I'm sure it would help him reach the emotional depth that he wanted for this version of the song, easily the best version
We were tidying our house and an ad rolled around with your song. My husband and I both loved it, but when he went to see who the artist was, it was too late. I made him look for you like a demented person. And now that we´ve found you I can be finally at peace.
Don't think you'll ever read this, but you kinda saved my life with your songs. Your texts resonate with my life and myself almost too much. Much respect and love from sweden, my crazy brother from another mother!
Dude, your picture looks like a maniac, but I bet you are a good man trying his hardest in the far north. Enjoy life while it lasts. Much respect and love from the Brazilian jungles, my crazy brother from another mom. Good luck and godspeed.
I absolutely love the way you wrote this. I lost my beloved one after many years of addiction, and I did go through hell with him, the question of doing so had never needed be imposed. Unfortunately, I did have to step back and let go. One can only walk through such a purgatory for so long with the one they love and adore before they too lose their faith and their way. Again, beautifully written, as is the dreamer song. All of them really. One of my favorite singers. Blessed be.
First song I’ve ever heard from you. My friend directed me towards you. My intuition told me this one. My whole body is shaking. So heavy. Every emotion I had to my ex. I gave my life to him. He sat and watched as I was bleeding out onto the brand new blue and grey retro area rug he just got for our anniversary. Blood sprayed everywhere from hitting my main artery in my right wrist and cutting through the nerve canals. He was sexually, verbally, mentally and physically abusive. Yet I loved him unconditionally. I stayed high on any form of substance to hide away from his torture till the last 9 months I was in a state of psychosis. My life was spared that night. I reached transcendent enlightenment. I have never felt so much peace yet never could imagine how much pain is in this world. Thank you for this powerful, beautiful yet traumatic song.
This version is SO much better than the original cut. So much more emotion and the vocals just SOUND better like he's in a different register or something. Brilliant!
Those pitch and tone changes are by far my favorite part of this song. That grawl with "id rot in hell with you"... Love this song, a mechanic was listening to this. Had to walk in the shop just to ask who was playing. Ill never forget your name Amigo.
You can just tell by a person's words, eyes and voice when that person has went through hell, especially with heartbreak or longing. A song writer that can bring out emotion in the listener is a damn good one. Bravo, Amigo.
I understand this passion all too well. Knowing that someone could be poison but happily running into their arms because they are your soulmate. Even if it means living in sin.
Been a while since I saw you last. Thought I'd stop by and say how time flew fast. How things have changed over time. How I've lost my mind. But don't worry, I found it tucked away. Well my time comes once more, I will see you another day.
"Son, never trust a man who doesn’t drink because he’s probably a self-righteous sort, a man who thinks he knows right from wrong all the time. Some of them are good men, but in the name of goodness, they cause most of the suffering in the world. They’re the judges, the meddlers. And, son, never trust a man who drinks but refuses to get drunk. They’re usually afraid of something deep down inside, either that they’re a coward or a fool or mean and violent. You can’t trust a man who’s afraid of himself. But sometimes, son, you can trust a man who occasionally kneels before a toilet. The chances are that he is learning something about humility and his natural human foolishness, about how to survive himself. It’s damned hard for a man to take himself too seriously when he’s heaving his guts into a dirty toilet bowl." -James Crumely
I dont drink anymore but dont mind a beer with a meal had a steak dinner two beers a little after my divorce went to see my two girls and on way home had food was a bit tipsy and sad after leaving my my kids so my eyes started leaking lol
Can confirm, will never get drunk because I am deathly afraid of the dark shit I'll blurt out when I get drunk. I don't know who I am when I take the heavy reigns off and I never wanna know.
This is by far one of the most romantic songs I have ever heard Last night my husband and I were singing this all night. Gonna check more of thos cat out. Fantastic voice and sound
I don’t suppose anyone has tabs for this? Amigo, you have a beautiful soul, and your work will continue to inspire for years to come. Keep doing your thing man
The intro and first verse are Am/F/Dm/Am/Am/F/Dm/E7, the rest is just Am/F/Dm/E7 on repeat with a pre-chrous that is Dm/F/Am. If you're on banjo leave the D-string open in Dm
This song came up on my suggested videos a couple days ago and now I have listened to everything Amigo The Devil non-stop! Very talented songwriter and artist! Awesome!
This weekend while he played this song at Muddy Roots Fest someone proposed in the crowd and she said yes. He stopped the set when he realized what was happening and saw everyone cheering for them and said “we’re singing this song for YOU now !!” We formed a little circle around them while they had their first dance as an engaged couple. Everyone belted it as loud as they could after that for them two lil lovebugs I’m not crying… you’re crying ! ❤
This is so raw for me because I feel that I look the exact same when I play music.. no discernable eye contact because I'm playing back into my own head.. And the romantization of a bender with your beloved despite knowing how wrong it is but how close it brings you two together in that moment...
It‘s nice to know that there are still men out there who aren‘t ashamed of crying. No matter if you‘re a grown man, it‘s always okay to show emotions. In my opinion, that‘s what makes people so human and relatable. So no need to hide the tears. I really hope this doesn‘t seem weird but you know, it‘s okay to cry. Even as a grown man.
Yeah, I don't see a lot of people mentioning it in the comments but that little blink he does at the end says it all - when he performs he seems to be possesed, totally indulged with the sound and lyrics and when he's done he looks like he needs a second to take in his surrondings and come off the high that is for him performing.
Who could possibly give this a thumbs down?! This song is my new addiction. Out of the 1M+ views, you can guarantee 900k are me, alone. “I wanna be where all the stupid shit I say sounds so romantic and true”. He’s speaking my love language. Love you, Amigo!
1.6 million i didnt even realize my nigga blew up. With Days N daze having a charting album is this the start of a folk punk revolution? Nah but maybe like it becoming more mainstream in the alt stream lol
I couldn't love this harder. My ex of 12 years died of an OD. Devastated me. I wanted to die with him, instead, I got clean. It's been 3 years, and I know I made the right decision lol, but some days... I feel like this.
One of my buddies told me about him growing up at 14 crawling thru his hall way in apartments army crawling because of his addiction. At his 21st bday woke up to his girl overdosed next to him, she didn't make it back. His dad a sheriff, him known as the black sheep of the family. Get thru it and keep going. As he did, respect to those who are trying to find another day to live making it day by day. 🙏
Bravo' You described 20 years of my life emotionally, so eloquently the first time I hear this I broke down in tears. Being a tough ranch girl that never happens, bravo'
The resurrection of this type of music is so satisfying to the soul. Old yet new all over again. If you are a younger person, don't be afraid of this or any other style of old time music. Don't be afraid of older people willing to teach you how to begin playing this style or any other.we have knowledge we are gladly willing to pass along to you so that you may do whatever you wish, morph it into you and what you hear, think and love. We need you to carry on music because we won't be here much longer. Don't let our music, your music die. Take it, take it with you and run with it, make it yours and share your soul with your brethren. You deserve it. Anyone wanting to learn to play can contact me. I give free music lessons. You deserve it. Enjoy!
Thank you for all the wonderful music you've gifted into my life. When i first found your music I was in a really bad place mentaly and hearing your music has helped me remmber that not everything's shitty in life and this video made me cry thank you for being all of our amigos.
I thought this dude looked crazy as hell when I watched it the first time.. but I downloaded it and I still come back and watch and listen cuz it's actually kinda beautifully crazy.
This passed by in my spotify Discover Weekly... Immediately grabbed my attention. This is amazing. Apparently it's over 4 years old but it's entirely new to me :)
My ex split 9 months ago. Was with her for 4 years and she ghosted me a month into a job i got to start supporting us and get us off our feet. I havent been able to play my guitar since so when i do play i feel like im gonna look just as frantic and crazy as this guy when i get hit with the random mood swings. Not to knock the look you make when you play, i think its totally awesome and makes it interesting to watch especially when you throw in those deep voiced lines like "IF I WAS DEAD I'D- float" Edit: 3 years later and i can tell you his personality doesnt just split when the voice goes deep. It splits in moments where he says "i want to be, where all the stupid shit i say..." where as the studio recording says "alll the stupid things i say..."
Almost every line in this song is gold. "Home is the last place I'd stand to be with anyone but you." "I got into a cab that smells like vinegar, with stains that show what's in the girl before." "I want to be where all the stupid things I say sound so romantic and true."
This is mine and my boyfriends song. I'll scream this at the top of my lungs at our wedding :) I know its supposed to maybe be a sad song about a toxic or unhealthy or long lost relationship but when I listen to it I get all these memories of my bf and I in our beginnings and the passion and strength of loyalty we have for each other. Yes id rot in hell with him. Home is the last place id be with someone that isnt him. I love this song so much.
Wish my ex wife felt that way, the same as me. Then MAYBE we'd still be together. She didn't even cry at our wedding. Your man has a keeper, a good person, no matter what happens, who you are, or what you've been through. We all deserve a lover who thinks this strongly of them. God bless and I hope you have a happy life with him.
@@bkain1762 unfortunately since posting this comment he and I have gone separate ways. He decided he would rather yell and break me down than work together to build each other up. I won't stand for it, so I moved on. Now I'm with a new lovely gentleman. Long time friend, we dated in the past. 6 months strong right now and moving into an apartment together soon :)
My hubby Stone introduced me to your tunes and must say you are extremely talented, gifted and blessed. TY for the messages as they are not only deep but very real (i personally can relate). Wish you, your wife as well as your loved ones much blessings, safety and health always. Namaste 🙏
Man, the person I loved the most.. we drifted apart. it’s been about a year and a half and I’m still in love with him. This song reminds me of our love and friendship.
Just saw you live in Spokane back in January; the first time I ever hung out with my girlfriend, I showed her "Perfect Wife" and a second fan was born. We listen to your music all the time, and we're getting close to our first anniversary. So it was pretty awesome our first concert together was seeing you. Keep up the great music and hope to see you out this way again soon!

A single man with a banjo and the silence of a forest. This speaks louder than most musicians.
I'm glad this song still finds people.
@@odd3l5 I found it the other week!
I live in Colorado and this summer I plan to take my dad's 12 string guitar I inherited from him up into the mountains and make some videos...
Hes close to cash. Cash can't be replaced. But amigo is close.
Makes me ache .i like voice and the loneliness begfs me to fix it
Some people hear a romantic song. I hear a reminder of how much an addict can put their substance above everything else. Hauntingly beautiful song.
Sadly, romantic love can be addicting and spiral lives out of control. It doesn’t happen to most, but it does happen.
Same thing. Addiction is similar to a distorted love for an abuser
When I first heard this song I just started dating this girl so I related to the toxic love that it was but after we broke up I turned to addiction and I had alot of iv user friends and saw were they went and now I think its about addiction...this man's music can hit on so many different levels
I feel love can be an addiction also. Its a sad reminder to me of a family that I could have had and still willing to do anything for it. Dont get me wrong great co parents her and i are but i still miss the relationship and this song is how i feel about it
I hear both at the same time
Man. The pain of being this mad of love is just unbelievable, yet somehow you miss it when its gone.
That kind of love has it’s own wild beauty.
This song isn't about love, it's about alcoholism
The "you" in this song is booze
Throw any substance in there but its most definitely not about a girl.
I dont need anyone pissin on my leg. 5 years goin strong.
Easily the most romantic song ever written.
Alcohol and I have had a hell of a romance for years
INDEED
Amen to that . It will be MY wedding song
Im glad someone said it
SAYIN'
[Verse 1]
Went to the bar
To get a little closer to myself and learn
Things I never really wanted to know
The walk got a little far
So I got into a cab that smelled like vinegar
Stains that showed what's in the girl before
[Bridge 1]
But I want to be
Where all the stupid things I say
Sounds so romantic and true
[Chorus]
Cause I'd rot in hell with you
If you'd just ask me to
I love the shitty things we do together
Live with me in this sin forever
Hell, and you -
I know you want it too
I say, take the shot, see this chance
Feel the fire and let me have this
Dance with you
[Verse 2]
We take things a little far
But you couldn't name a place I wouldn't go with you
A plane, a train, a car, I'd run
If I was dead I'd float
I'd crawl in bed with you
Even on someone else's blood
On top of someone else's love
In the worst motel we find
[Bridge 2]
Cause home is the last place
That I'd stand to be with anyone but you
[Chorus]
Cause I'd rot in hell with you
If you'd just ask me to
I love the shitty things we do together
Live with me in this sin forever
Hell, and you -
I know you want it too
I say, take the shot, see this chance
Feel the fire and let me have this
Dance with you
Nice
Brilliant.
Thank you!
Wow, you know how to copy and paste text.

Holy shit I would die to see that lineup myself! Amigo and Clutch are two of my all time fav artists!
came back looking for this comment. its always the first thing i think of when i hear this song
Shit, clutch is a band I had forgotten existed. Thank you for reminding me
Who the fuck is clutch
You are a voice of a subconscious self hating yet mischievous alcoholic demon who got out of jail like two years ago who just got out of a semi bad relationship. I’ll always be a fan
That's pretty deep im going through the same as i type
I felt that yo
Yea, same.
Agreed
Hell ya man.. very well put!!!
idea for an alternative Southern music festival: Amigo the Devil, Billy Strings, Sturgill Simpson, Tyler Childers, Colter Wall, The Dead South, Shaky Graves, Uncle Lucious, Larkin Poe, Benjamin Todd, Bridge City Sinners, Gangstagrass, Devil Makes Three, Trampled by Turtles, Sierra Ferrell, Molly Tuttle, Alison Krauss, Tim Eriksen, Arlo McKinley, and Abby the Spoon Lady!

I dont know how we do this, but im down.
Gotta throw in the bridge city sinners and the devil makes three too.
@@efree19 Nice! Throw in Hill County Devil. That should be good to go!
Oh this is the superior version.
The song is unhinged already and the multiple different ranges he switches between while singing only add to it in the best way.
The fact that he can mug those expressions while hitting those soulful notes is the mark of a true preformer!
He has those looks because I'm pretty sure he has synesthia.. he sees colors and shapes when he hears music and sounds.
Some of his expressions in this video perfectly show how he is a little messed up in the head but mostly normal on the outside. He feels a little distant and like he could snap at anytime but probably won't. Great job with this!
He's a funny guy. Last time we saw him live he came out to the Jurassic Park theme and started playing All-Star by Smash Mouth as a prank.
Kinda looks like cocaine to me lol
The pain thats what make music

First song I’ve ever heard from you. My friend directed me towards you. My intuition told me this one.
My whole body is shaking. So heavy. Every emotion I had to my ex. I gave my life to him. He sat and watched as I was bleeding out onto the brand new blue and grey retro area rug he just got for our anniversary. Blood sprayed everywhere from hitting my main artery in my right wrist and cutting through the nerve canals. He was sexually, verbally, mentally and physically abusive. Yet I loved him unconditionally. I stayed high on any form of substance to hide away from his torture till the last 9 months I was in a state of psychosis.
My life was spared that night. I reached transcendent enlightenment. I have never felt so much peace yet never could imagine how much pain is in this world.
Thank you for this powerful, beautiful yet traumatic song.

Your mechanic friend heard his new song "the mechanic"
AMAZING! Where have I been all this year’s? Why no one is telling me that they are still such a talented musicians out there!! Thank you AMIGO!
This is the most relatable song I’ve heard in a fat minute
One of the most beautiful songs ever made. Simple.
Ive been on both ends of this song...a friend recommended this..and I've listened to it easily 60-70 times in just 4 days..amazing song..thank you
Same! I found it like 5 days ago and probably listened to it the same amount. 🥹 it’s too good…
Wow! His eyes really speak a thousand words.. that was absolutely beautiful.. I love you, Amigo my devil..
You can just tell by a person's words, eyes and voice when that person has went through hell, especially with heartbreak or longing. A song writer that can bring out emotion in the listener is a damn good one. Bravo, Amigo.
This song hits different when you have loved an addict, or had been one.
Recovery is possible. Dont give up.
This has to be one of the most perfect songs I've ever heard. So passionate and just the perfect amount of Aphrodite's touch, the madness of love
FuknA!!!! That was bad ass. What a voice. Don't see too many people poor their soul out like that too often. He had someone in mind specifically.
I understand this passion all too well. Knowing that someone could be poison but happily running into their arms because they are your soulmate. Even if it means living in sin.
This song is the greatest song ever written, hands down, the soul put into this is baffling.
Been a while since I saw you last. Thought I'd stop by and say how time flew fast.
How things have changed over time. How I've lost my mind.
But don't worry, I found it tucked away.
Well my time comes once more, I will see you another day.
This song is so awesome. A kind of addiction, that makes me wanna listen to it again and again. The best love song i've listened in months

The chances are that he is learning something about humility and his natural human foolishness, about how to survive himself. It’s damned hard for a man to take himself too seriously when he’s heaving his guts into a dirty toilet bowl."
-James Crumely
So where does a sober alcoholic fit in there?
I dont drink anymore but dont mind a beer with a meal had a steak dinner two beers a little after my divorce went to see my two girls and on way home had food was a bit tipsy and sad after leaving my my kids so my eyes started leaking lol
Can confirm, will never get drunk because I am deathly afraid of the dark shit I'll blurt out when I get drunk. I don't know who I am when I take the heavy reigns off and I never wanna know.
@@yurmumsgjey you don't have too get drunk but you should know your demons well.
@@urso656zhu7 - Absolutely.
This is by far one of the most romantic songs I have ever heard
Last night my husband and I were singing this all night. Gonna check more of thos cat out. Fantastic voice and sound
I don’t suppose anyone has tabs for this?
Amigo, you have a beautiful soul, and your work will continue to inspire for years to come. Keep doing your thing man
The intro and first verse are Am/F/Dm/Am/Am/F/Dm/E7, the rest is just Am/F/Dm/E7 on repeat with a pre-chrous that is Dm/F/Am. If you're on banjo leave the D-string open in Dm
This song came up on my suggested videos a couple days ago and now I have listened to everything Amigo The Devil non-stop! Very talented songwriter and artist! Awesome!
I'm gonna be your stand in drummer for your show in Dallas Anthony!!
Every note and syllable is a poem on it's own. I adore this.
I am a metal head who loves rap... I don't know how I keep ending up on your videos... but I love it
"if I was dead" hit a little hard. great job. got the chills
This weekend while he played this song at Muddy Roots Fest someone proposed in the crowd and she said yes.
He stopped the set when he realized what was happening and saw everyone cheering for them and said “we’re singing this song for YOU now !!”
We formed a little circle around them while they had their first dance as an engaged couple.
Everyone belted it as loud as they could after that for them two lil lovebugs
I’m not crying… you’re crying ! ❤
This is so raw for me because I feel that I look the exact same when I play music.. no discernable eye contact because I'm playing back into my own head.. And the romantization of a bender with your beloved despite knowing how wrong it is but how close it brings you two together in that moment...
Those acoustics are incredible. Still reeling from how good the November show in Philly was.
This song, this performance, is magical in a way that is akin to "you had to be there".
I can’t get over watching you perform. You’re amazing.
The open air recording of this is so beautiful
You are a MASTER story teller with the voice of a beautiful fallen angel ❤️
Wow!! I'm seriously blown away by this, his voice, his words, his look in his eyes, all are simply..... Perfect..
My daughter shared this song with me. It perfectly describes the love between me and my late husband.
I’m a grown man and every time I listen to this song it can almost bring a tear to my eye.
It‘s nice to know that there are still men out there who aren‘t ashamed of crying. No matter if you‘re a grown man, it‘s always okay to show emotions. In my opinion, that‘s what makes people so human and relatable. So no need to hide the tears. I really hope this doesn‘t seem weird but you know, it‘s okay to cry. Even as a grown man.
The eyes say it all... spectacular!
Yeah, I don't see a lot of people mentioning it in the comments but that little blink he does at the end says it all - when he performs he seems to be possesed, totally indulged with the sound and lyrics and when he's done he looks like he needs a second to take in his surrondings and come off the high that is for him performing.
This song just sent me down a rabbit hole of your entire catalog. Amazing is an understatement
So now we are all in lockdown,it might be a good time to learn to play the banjo.
Dean Vandenbrande just bought myself a beginner guitar 😎
Banjo 10/10 lady boner
@@missymajor3647 I work in a music store. We got a banjo in last week and I've been learning this song on it.
I promise, no girl boners happen.
@@MrSchism are you not goving my lady boner credit , do i not please you lol
What a songwriter!!
YOU, SHAWN JAMES, BEN CAPLAN AND COLTER WALL NEED TO COLLABORATE ON AN ALBUM 🤘🤘🤘🤘
And Benjamin tod lol
If mr childers joined that album or song would break the universe
@@vegitogogeta4110 hell yeah bruv, I just checked him out 🤘
Ben Caplan is awesome!
And Jesse Stewart
Who could possibly give this a thumbs down?! This song is my new addiction. Out of the 1M+ views, you can guarantee 900k are me, alone. “I wanna be where all the stupid shit I say sounds so romantic and true”. He’s speaking my love language. Love you, Amigo!
1.6 million i didnt even realize my nigga blew up. With Days N daze having a charting album is this the start of a folk punk revolution? Nah but maybe like it becoming more mainstream in the alt stream lol
I couldn't love this harder.
My ex of 12 years died of an OD. Devastated me. I wanted to die with him, instead, I got clean. It's been 3 years, and I know I made the right decision lol, but some days... I feel like this.
Julianna H5782 Bless you and keep on keeping on!
Srry for your loss I've lost my wife and she not dead love hurts
2 and a half and I feel you congrats on the 3 years
One of my buddies told me about him growing up at 14 crawling thru his hall way in apartments army crawling because of his addiction. At his 21st bday woke up to his girl overdosed next to him, she didn't make it back. His dad a sheriff, him known as the black sheep of the family. Get thru it and keep going. As he did, respect to those who are trying to find another day to live making it day by day. 🙏
❤️
Forgot about this legendary piece of music for a few years. Glad im back.
“Went to the bar to get a little closer to myself and the parts I never really wanted to know”
First line and it’s my favorite part
Amigo will not only blow up. But stay on top which is the hardest part.
Bravo' You described 20 years of my life emotionally, so eloquently the first time I hear this I broke down in tears. Being a tough ranch girl that never happens, bravo'
The resurrection of this type of music is so satisfying to the soul. Old yet new all over again. If you are a younger person, don't be afraid of this or any other style of old time music. Don't be afraid of older people willing to teach you how to begin playing this style or any other.we have knowledge we are gladly willing to pass along to you so that you may do whatever you wish, morph it into you and what you hear, think and love. We need you to carry on music because we won't be here much longer. Don't let our music, your music die. Take it, take it with you and run with it, make it yours and share your soul with your brethren. You deserve it. Anyone wanting to learn to play can contact me. I give free music lessons. You deserve it. Enjoy!
Thank you for all the wonderful music you've gifted into my life. When i first found your music I was in a really bad place mentaly and hearing your music has helped me remmber that not everything's shitty in life and this video made me cry thank you for being all of our amigos.
Awesome tune with great dark lyrics that tell dark personal story thru my open intepertation of many songwriters!!!
I thought this dude looked crazy as hell when I watched it the first time.. but I downloaded it and I still come back and watch and listen cuz it's actually kinda beautifully crazy.
I know an existential crisis when I see one. Same, dude. Stay strong. We can make it through this.
My wife and I love this song so much it was our first dance at our wedding last week
So raw and beautiful. You sing about the dark desires that are in so many of us. Keeping singing on Brother xoxo
Absolutely incredible voice and lyerics! I am in love!! Been listening to this song on repeat for 3 days!!
This passed by in my spotify Discover Weekly... Immediately grabbed my attention. This is amazing.
Apparently it's over 4 years old but it's entirely new to me :)
My ex split 9 months ago. Was with her for 4 years and she ghosted me a month into a job i got to start supporting us and get us off our feet. I havent been able to play my guitar since so when i do play i feel like im gonna look just as frantic and crazy as this guy when i get hit with the random mood swings. Not to knock the look you make when you play, i think its totally awesome and makes it interesting to watch especially when you throw in those deep voiced lines like "IF I WAS DEAD I'D- float"
Edit: 3 years later and i can tell you his personality doesnt just split when the voice goes deep. It splits in moments where he says "i want to be, where all the stupid shit i say..." where as the studio recording says "alll the stupid things i say..."
I used to listen to this song all of the time. Completely forgot about it for MONTHS. Re-discovered it. Became obsessed with it all over again.
found out about this guy as he opened for dropkick murphys in pensacola the other day. he's amazing!
I live in Pensacola too! I discovered him today :((
Just want to let you know. I freaking love this song. It's so good. I love listening to it and i love playing it.
This is my favorite version of this song he does by far. its just so raw, just him and his banjo and so emotional
Amazing range - beautiful voice and he could sing anything ✨❤️✨💚✨
I'm really thinking about walking down the isle to this song at my wedding. It makes my heart just melt. It's absolutely beautiful.
His vocals are so clean it hurts.
I absolutely love it.
“I love the shitty things we do together.” That line man. That fucking line.
Almost every line in this song is gold.
"Home is the last place I'd stand to be with anyone but you."
"I got into a cab that smells like vinegar, with stains that show what's in the girl before."
"I want to be where all the stupid things I say sound so romantic and true."
I love the new songs but this is my favorite of them all. Can't wait to see you live again.
Absolutely amazing . So real man . Your eyes say it all

This is mine and my boyfriends song. I'll scream this at the top of my lungs at our wedding :) I know its supposed to maybe be a sad song about a toxic or unhealthy or long lost relationship but when I listen to it I get all these memories of my bf and I in our beginnings and the passion and strength of loyalty we have for each other. Yes id rot in hell with him. Home is the last place id be with someone that isnt him. I love this song so much.
Wish my ex wife felt that way, the same as me. Then MAYBE we'd still be together. She didn't even cry at our wedding. Your man has a keeper, a good person, no matter what happens, who you are, or what you've been through. We all deserve a lover who thinks this strongly of them. God bless and I hope you have a happy life with him.
@@bkain1762 unfortunately since posting this comment he and I have gone separate ways. He decided he would rather yell and break me down than work together to build each other up. I won't stand for it, so I moved on. Now I'm with a new lovely gentleman. Long time friend, we dated in the past. 6 months strong right now and moving into an apartment together soon :)
@@howtohuman6903 Glad you moved on and are doing well. It gives me hope, best of luck to you both.
My hubby Stone introduced me to your tunes and must say you are extremely talented, gifted and blessed. TY for the messages as they are not only deep but very real (i personally can relate). Wish you, your wife as well as your loved ones much blessings, safety and health always. Namaste 🙏
saw him at a concert last night, in all honesty he was the best, I had never heard of him before last night but here I am now.
This song is on repeat. Ive never heard a more perfect song. Im addicted to it.
Man, the person I loved the most.. we drifted apart. it’s been about a year and a half and I’m still in love with him. This song reminds me of our love and friendship.
hope things work out for the best, what ever that might turn to be
His voice and eyes are showing the closest thing that we as humans can genuinely show what it's like being "madly in love".
Just saw you live in Spokane back in January; the first time I ever hung out with my girlfriend, I showed her "Perfect Wife" and a second fan was born. We listen to your music all the time, and we're getting close to our first anniversary.
So it was pretty awesome our first concert together was seeing you.
Keep up the great music and hope to see you out this way again soon!
The ONLY artist that makes music that relates to me like a mirror. The thoughts of your lyrics corse through my veins like the devil.
Check out Ren
Great lyrics
One of my favorite songs ever!!! Romance, grit, devotion . What more can you want!?!? want it played at my wedding, if I ever have one (😂).
The songs he sings possess him . Its beautiful
