Don't be worried about loving him. I'm a 78 year old white woman who had a huge crush on nate king cole when I was a kid. If your not sure who he is, look him up on YT. He had a beautiful voice but, more importantly, a gentle manner about him. Also was the first African american to have his own tv show.
Thank you Mule... This song has helped me to step out of the every day hell after the loss of my little one. Regardless of the lyrics orginal meaning, I taylor it to myself. That is the beauty of music.
This song has been pulling me through since it came out so many years ago. Like eastcoastguitar222 and others posting here, it helps you get through the darkness of a loss. You know Warren and Matt feel it every time they play this song...
I was sent here by a friend. This isn’t something I’d normally listen to but wow! It’s beautifully arranged, played, produced, written and sung. I’m grateful to my friend for sending me here. Cx 🥰
I love Warren Haynes. His voice is custom made for the blues, his guitar playing is absolutely legendary. And he is a good looking, humble, kind man. A Southern Gentleman type like those who have real values and are so decent. They are extremely rare these days... Men who held doors, pulled out chairs and never referred to women in disgusting terms.
Just wanted to say that I have only just started listening to these guys this past year and just wanted to say that they have really helped me in a time of my life and just wanted to say thank you and keep it coming.Dawn R.Cowley .😘
We all (most)have been on those banks. Searching for a reason. I play it lately several times. Every day for a few years it’s been groundhog day to me. This song makes me think a better thought At the end of the You are reflecting on how you got to this riverbank. Love trust & have your own back. And believe in yourself ✌🏻beautiful badass song
such an awesome song especially when you know the story behind the song and this concert lost a friend last year to an overdose and as an ex addict I know how hard it is to overcome those demons and what the banks of the deep end is like this is one of my favorite songs ever
This song changed my life, it helped me get out of the same old spiral down into addiction .. I very well could have been right where his friend was. Anytime I feel like relapsing I plant my feet on this bit of dry land
Chris and Mark - So proud of you both. I believe the story behind this song is what resonates with you. It's a tribute to Gov't Mule's late bassist, Allen Woody who died of a heroin overdose. I sure that it's WH working thru the pain of loss and not being able to save AW from drowning. Hang tough.
This is the most "addictive Song" that I have ever listened to.....I just can't stop playing it over and over again! Well Done! Warren....we need more Soulful songs like this.............
Agree Got the honor to meet him 1 time in Baltimore,MD got backstage and all. Will never forget it. He was so nice and spent allot of time with me and my dad. My dad plays the guitar he even played a few songs with him. The whole band is the best.
I know they've been around for ages, but I only personally discovered them about 2 years ago. Was immediately hooked. Got to see them live last month - what an absolute treat. Absolutely love this song in particular although they're all great 👍🏻!
The real deal! I grew up in the south listening to southern rock, as far as I am concerned Warren is the last great southern rocker not living off what he did in the past. Listening to Gov't Mule is as southern as Sweet Tea and Fried Chicken. :) Good stuff!
Mike Gordon on bass guitar. ~~ Born in Sudbury Massachusetts on June 3, 1965, Mike Gordon is best known for playing bass in the rock band known as Phish. He has been active in the entertainment industry since 1982 and has been affiliated with Megaplum and ATO Records. He is also educated in banjo, piano and guitar. Along with playing music, Gordon has also written a book called Mike's Corner and produced approximately three films and one music video. He has nine releases under in his discography and formed Phish with Trey Anastasio, Jon Fishman and Jeff Holdsworth in 1983. He attended the Solomon Schechter Day School of Greater Boston, the Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School, and the University of Vermont. Gordon acted as a powerhouse in the band, handling everything media-related until the band's success became overbearing on the self-management front. Gordon plays on Paul Languedoc custom guitars, one of which was a "dragon" bass. He has also played on a Modulus Quantum 5 bass. His amplification ranges from an SWR SM-900 to an Eden WT-800. He also plays banjo on tour with Phish and started learning in 1994. He played banjo on Bernie Worrell's 2007 release, Improvisczario. Gordon currently tours under his own name and has been doing so since 2008 with Scott Murawski, Todd Isler, Tom Cleary, and Craig Myers. In addition to playing on all of Phish's albums, he has released several solo albums and collaborations with Leo Kottke. ~ 🎸 🪕🎹
Lucky to live near Asheville nc where Warren has the Christmas jam. A concert for charity, been to 17 straight years. Fortunate me. He truly cares. Got mule.
I lost count how many times I've watched this performance. Love seeing Gordon bobbing his head up and down jamming on his bass. This is a top notch performance right here.
I just made a coment a few minutes ago about how I have seen this 1,000 times I bet. Best song ever. I am near fifty and dealt with everything from dead to Tyler Childers and this shit is the muse.
love ya brother ❤️ I am a recovering addict also. I'm try blessed to be here. today I do harm reduction services here in southern Oregon. #healthenation,#traumansteion,#ticktock says the clock. thanks for the wonderful music 🎶
Lyrics On the banks of the deep end Where your soul is your best friend Searchin' for a reason To go astray Wild dreams turn to nightmares Silver clouds turn to golden stairs Everything that you used to know Is slippin' away, yeah Here I've got my puzzle-piece Only got it for a short term lease No time for askin' No goin' back to get hurt Take a little from the mixture Try to fit it into the picture Got a place where you're standin' Dig your shoes into the dirt Tryin' hard to get back Runnin' on the stones Put you on my shoulders I can be the only one See the world's still spinnin' 'round Gettin' dizzy when we look There's a reason to be home There's a feelin' when you smile But it feels like it might take over This feelin' deep inside There's a distance down the line Far away from the station We can leave it all behind On a rollin' creation Stay away from the window Oh, and lock the door Can't you learn from the last time And the time before See the world's still spinnin' 'round Gettin' dizzy when we look Got to leave town To see yellow flowers bloom Sun goin' down It's gonna be, gonna be risin' soon On the banks of the deep end Twisted as a riverbend Searchin' for a reason to go astray, yeah Couldn't hire twenty-five men To do what the man couldn't do Just the sound of his walkin' Split the whole damn town in two Into the night full of shadows He still walks when the thunder rolls This river ain't shallow Reminds us that the bell still tolls Bears in the kitchen Tigers on TV The singer's pretendin' That this song's for me See the world's still spinnin' 'round Gettin' dizzy when we look Took a wrong turn down by the waterline Heard they had to drag you off the sand Find a dune and the wind will miss you Hold on to a piece of dry land Got to hold on to a piece of dry land Got to hold on to a piece of dry land On the banks of the deep end Where I lost my best friend Searchin' for a reason to go astray, hey
I was turned onto gmule more than a decade ago while in a residential drug rehab in delray florida. Another resident there had a gmule tattoo that I asked about, and he obliged with an effusive explanation. Two hrs later, after sampling their songs, I was hooked. Unfortunately, I'm still "on the banks of the deep end." This song has become a kind of emotional anthem for me, in turns saddening me while also eliciting a bit of hope. Love these guys.
Hope you can stay the course. Maybe the back story of this song gives you strength and determination. Regardless of what he is singing, Warren holds me emotionally long after the song is over.👍
My mind is pretty open -- I just wasn't familiar with Haynes. I tend to be stuck in earlier decades with my guitarists -- Stevie Ray, Jeff Beck, Clapton, Ry Cooder, Bruce Cockburn (with Colin Linden), Bonnie Raitt -- and Bill Frisell, of course. Not all the same genres, but all guitarists I like very much.
Ever heard of the Allman Brothers? Haynes played with them for about twenty-five years. Sure there was Duane Allman who Clapton called the best guitar player ever, and Dicky Betts and Warren Haynes and Jimmy Herring and Derek Trucks- all had a piece of the Allmans lead guitar and all except Trucks are as old as your list, but in fairness Trucks may be the best of the lot. And check out Joe Bonamassi and Trey Ansastasio. There's a lot of great guitar work going on right now and a lot of players who should be more famous. Take it from a guy who is as old as Clapton and Beck.
I would have had to have missed my 20s and early 30s to not know who the Allman Brothers are (were)! I just didn't know who Haynes and Gov't Mule are. I have the Allman Brothers retrospective, A Decade of Hits," which my son gave me. I was not much of a "Southern Rock" fan during the 60s and 70s -- much more into folk rock.
Yeah and I was more into Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin, and I apologize for the snarky comment, but the Southern Rockers kept working on new and remade but highly improvised material through groups like Government Mule and Widespread Panic and especially, to my thinking, Tedeschi Trucks. My point is the guitar work is as good now as ever.
Warren Haynes è un musicista incredibile. Tutte le sue canzoni hanno un qualcosa che mi lascia sempre stupito e mi fa venir voglia di ascoltare ancora e ancora e ancora...
I lived CO for a while and I worked in a kitchen with a guy 15 years older than me who swore by these guys but I never gave them a listen. Well I went on a road trip last week and saw a dude at a Kansas rest stop rockin a Gov't Mule shirt and I saw it as a sign. Ended up listening through most of their discography on my ride to Delaware.
On the banks of the deep end Where your soul is your best friend Searchin' for a reason To go astray Wild dreams turn to nightmares Silver clouds turn to golden stairs Everything that you used to know Is slippin' away, yeah Here I've got my puzzle-piece Only got it for a short term lease No time for askin' No goin' back to get hurt Take a little from the mixture Try to fit it into the picture Got a place where you're standin' Dig your shoes into the dirt Tryin' hard to get back Runnin' on the stones Put you on my shoulders I can be the only one See the world's still spinnin' 'round Gettin' dizzy when we look There's a reason to be home There's a feelin' when you smile But it feels like it might take over This feelin' deep inside There's a distance down the line Far away from the station We can leave it all behind On a rollin' creation Stay away from the window Oh, and lock the door Can't you learn from the last time And the time before See the world's still spinnin' 'round Gettin' dizzy when we look Got to leave town To see yellow flowers bloom Sun goin' down It's gonna be, gonna be risin' soon On the banks of the deep end Twisted as a riverbend Searchin' for a reason to go astray, yeah Couldn't hire twenty-five men To do what the man couldn't do Just the sound of his walkin' Split the whole damn town in two Into the night full of shadows He still walks when the thunder rolls This river ain't shallow Reminds us that the bell still tolls Bears in the kitchen Tigers on TV The singer's pretendin' That this song's for me See the world's still spinnin' 'round Gettin' dizzy when we look Took a wrong turn down by the waterline Heard they had to drag you off the sand Find a dune and the wind will miss you Hold on to a piece of dry land Got to hold on to a piece of dry land Got to hold on to a piece of dry land On the banks of the deep end Where I lost my best friend Searchin' for a reason to go astray, hey
On the banks of the deep end Where your soul is your best friend Searching for a reason to go astray Wild dreams turn to nightmares Silver clouds turn to golden stairs And everything that you used to know is slipping away Here, I've got my puzzle piece Only got it for a short-term lease No time for asking, no going back to get hurt I take a little from the mixture Try to fit it into the picture Got a place where you're standing, dig your shoes into the dirt Trying hard to get back, running on the stones Put you on my shoulders, we can be the only one See the world's still spinning round, getting dizzy when we look There's a reason to be home, there's a feeling when you smile But it feels like it might take over, this feeling deep inside And there's a distance down the line, far away from the station We can leave it all behind on a rolling creation Sit away from the window and lock the door Can't you learn from the last time and the time before See the world's still spinning round, getting dizzy when we look Got to leave town To see the yellow flowers bloom Sun going down It's gonna be rising soon On the banks of the deep end Twisted as the river bend Searching for a reason to go astray You couldn't hire twenty five men to do what the man could do Just the sound of his walking could split the whole damn town in two Into the night full of shadows, he still walks when the thunder rolls This river ain't shallow, reminds us that the bell still tolls Bears in the kitchen, tigers on TV The singer's pretending that this song's for me See the world's still spinning round, getting dizzy when we look You took a wrong turn down by the waterline I heard they had to drag you off the sand Find a dune and the wind will miss you Hold on to a piece of dry land Got to hold on to a piece of dry land Got to hold on to a piece of dry land On the banks of the deep end Where I lost my best friend Searching for a reason To go astray
a good friend of mine in miami had a show on the internet called from the deep end, nick michaels. he was a dj from toronto. he had stories of the background of different music. he died of a heart attack at home several years ago on memorial day. he also recorded intros to the tv news channels around the country, channel 10 in miami where one of my other satellite customers was the famous news caster, ann bishop. his voice was smooth. "live, local, late breaking"
I'm 34 year old african american girl from Arkansas and I am in love with this guy
Don't be worried about loving him. I'm a 78 year old white woman who had a huge crush on nate king cole when I was a kid. If your not sure who he is, look him up on YT. He had a beautiful voice but, more importantly, a gentle manner about him. Also was the first African american to have his own tv show.
This song is a masterpiece, more people should know it
It's too real.
Totally agree with you
too bad, most people won’t appreciate this tune for what it is. Haynes is one of the few keeping good music alive
This song is about his friend Woody, who was in the almonds with him.
This might be one of the best songs ever recorded.
Such a great song; well written and deeply sung about a friend. Peace be with you Warren, for all that have left us; all too soon.
Thank you Mule... This song has helped me to step out of the every day hell after the loss of my little one. Regardless of the lyrics orginal meaning, I taylor it to myself. That is the beauty of music.
Got to hold on to a piece of dry land amen!!
I lost my little boy broke my heart but music pulls me through each day even though it was over 20 years ago now....
This song has been pulling me through since it came out so many years ago. Like eastcoastguitar222 and others posting here, it helps you get through the darkness of a
loss. You know Warren and Matt feel it every time they play this song...
It's about the loss of Allen Woody.
It's pulling me through depression. Very beautiful song.
I was sent here by a friend. This isn’t something I’d normally listen to but wow! It’s beautifully arranged, played, produced, written and sung. I’m grateful to my friend for sending me here. Cx 🥰
Welcome to the Mule Club. This man is truly a talent. I'd also recommend checking out JJ Grey and Mofro similar sound and stage presence.
You will like his solo work too. Warren Haynes
I too was sent here just today Sept. 2022 by a friend. How on earth have I not discovered this band before?! Incredible! ❤
Beautiful song, been listening to for alot of years now...and Yes JJ Grey is awesome as well, he is always on my everyday playlist! BB
One of the best songs ever written.
Pure rock, Mr Haynes and Gov't Mule, well done. This stuff shakes my soul.
I love Warren Haynes.
His voice is custom made for the blues, his guitar playing is absolutely legendary.
And he is a good looking, humble, kind man.
A Southern Gentleman type like those who have real values and are so decent.
They are extremely rare these days... Men who held doors, pulled out chairs and never referred to women in disgusting terms.
Just wanted to say that I have only just started listening to these guys this past year and just wanted to say that they have really helped me in a time of my life and just wanted to say thank you and keep it coming.Dawn R.Cowley .😘
I feel this song...Thank you Warren.
Dad loved this band so much. Blasted it while smoking his pipe. Now his daughter listens to it to grieve. Love you daddy. 3/27/2020.
Just beautiful, have been listening to this song for years now! And yes JJ Grey is awesome as well, on my everyday play list! BB...Tomball, Houston Tx
We all (most)have been on those banks. Searching for a reason. I play it lately several times. Every day for a few years it’s been groundhog day to me. This song makes me think a better thought
At the end of the You are reflecting on how you got to this riverbank. Love trust & have your own back. And believe in yourself ✌🏻beautiful badass song
such an awesome song especially when you know the story behind the song and this concert lost a friend last year to an overdose and as an ex addict I know how hard it is to overcome those demons and what the banks of the deep end is like this is one of my favorite songs ever
Love Warren Haynes❤would Love to meet him❤❤❤
I pray the Demon's stay out my life ,,God bless all
Whats the story?
@@susiewilson8340I
Holy Smokes Gordo, laying it down with the legend Warren! Man, The Mule never ceases to amaze me, flat out beautiful
Prolly dedicating it to Trey in his mind
This has been one of my favorite music videos on youtube for around ten years, now.
This song changed my life, it helped me get out of the same old spiral down into addiction .. I very well could have been right where his friend was. Anytime I feel like relapsing I plant my feet on this bit of dry land
Mark Sullivan he’ll yah man I’m right with you keep stepping forward
@@chrisshaimas8425 thanks man
Mark Sullivan I got almost 3 yrs from the junk I tell myself everyday I can I will I must it’s a real struggle but far from the darkness

A special man showed me this band forever grateful he did!! Makes me miss him
I love me some Warren & pre-hair cut Gordon!! RIP Woody and Warren’s tech Bryan Farmer - much love to all and God Bless!!!!
One of Warren's finest compositions.
Not many artists speak to my soul the way Warren does!
Jordan Kuchukian ..my thoughts to the note..freat artist
I agree
Agree Got the honor to meet him 1 time in Baltimore,MD got backstage and all. Will never forget it. He was so nice and spent allot of time with me and my dad. My dad plays the guitar he even played a few songs with him. The whole band is the best.
Just in case it was July 2005
pretty sure the 27th
tremendous. carrying on a time tested tradition of fine southern rock and roll
I know they've been around for ages, but I only personally discovered them about 2 years ago. Was immediately hooked. Got to see them live last month - what an absolute treat. Absolutely love this song in particular although they're all great 👍🏻!
I don't care I'm still listening to this in 2019
I like it.
✌🤓
so cool - and the bassist totaly ignored the mode police great
Me too
back up isnt playing in the pocket
listen to she said. john the revelator on dose. Haynes relies on bass to hit the pocket .
Me too brother peace
Heck I'm here in 2021 and I love it!
The real deal! I grew up in the south listening to southern rock, as far as I am concerned Warren is the last great southern rocker not living off what he did in the past. Listening to Gov't Mule is as southern as Sweet Tea and Fried Chicken. :) Good stuff!
u got's dat right friend

The key changes make this exceptional and I can't listen too many times...awesome Warren and GM
I lost count how many times I've watched this performance. Love seeing Gordon bobbing his head up and down jamming on his bass. This is a top notch performance right here.

He will be. Have faith....

Incredible song, i especially love the use of the Wurlitzer on this one.
Lyrics
On the banks of the deep end
Where your soul is your best friend
Searchin' for a reason
To go astray
Wild dreams turn to nightmares
Silver clouds turn to golden stairs
Everything that you used to know
Is slippin' away, yeah
Here I've got my puzzle-piece
Only got it for a short term lease
No time for askin'
No goin' back to get hurt
Take a little from the mixture
Try to fit it into the picture
Got a place where you're standin'
Dig your shoes into the dirt
Tryin' hard to get back
Runnin' on the stones
Put you on my shoulders
I can be the only one
See the world's still spinnin' 'round
Gettin' dizzy when we look
There's a reason to be home
There's a feelin' when you smile
But it feels like it might take over
This feelin' deep inside
There's a distance down the line
Far away from the station
We can leave it all behind
On a rollin' creation
Stay away from the window
Oh, and lock the door
Can't you learn from the last time
And the time before
See the world's still spinnin' 'round
Gettin' dizzy when we look
Got to leave town
To see yellow flowers bloom
Sun goin' down
It's gonna be, gonna be risin' soon
On the banks of the deep end
Twisted as a riverbend
Searchin' for a reason to go astray, yeah
Couldn't hire twenty-five men
To do what the man couldn't do
Just the sound of his walkin'
Split the whole damn town in two
Into the night full of shadows
He still walks when the thunder rolls
This river ain't shallow
Reminds us that the bell still tolls
Bears in the kitchen
Tigers on TV
The singer's pretendin'
That this song's for me
See the world's still spinnin' 'round
Gettin' dizzy when we look
Took a wrong turn down by the waterline
Heard they had to drag you off the sand
Find a dune and the wind will miss you
Hold on to a piece of dry land
Got to hold on to a piece of dry land
Got to hold on to a piece of dry land
On the banks of the deep end
Where I lost my best friend
Searchin' for a reason to go astray, hey
Gracias
👍👍
His tone just blows me away.......every time!!!!!!!!!
One of the best songs ever ...😊
My favorite Mule song . Absolutely gorgeous

Right down to my core....WH & this band are phenomenal . .
✌️❤️
Thank you Warren and The Mule!!
So Underrated Warren Haynes is a beast . , Long Live Warren Haynes , Govt. Mule
Perfect performance, watched so many times
Always looking for a reason to go astray. Most relatable line in any song I have ever heard.
Mike Gordon on bass, this is incredible stuff
I can't listen to this without Mike Gordon now just not the same
makes it magic
It's been a while since I listen to this song but I still like it.
One of the best bands I've ever listened to. AMAZING!
I’m just getting acquainted with Gov’t Mule. Where the hell have I been? They’re fabulous.
Yes us original Mule Fans miss Alan TOO.
Awsome Bass
The woodman!!
RIP ALAN WOODY
Seeing this song be played sends chills down the spine... Truly special
One of the best songs ever ...
Just great music. All members are top notch. Love the bass lines.
How have I never heard of these guys till this morning? This is good music!!
Welcome welcome welcome! Warren Haynes is a masterful musician. Allman Brothers, Gov't Mule, The Dead, etc. Have fun.
Warren has some bad ass vocals !!!
My god this is so freaking amazing... just love the vibe ...and another amazing guitarist ... love it...

Real music. Thanks, y'all!

Good music to wake & bake to on a Saturday morning.
Best guitarist alive today.he dont play his guitar he makes it sing.
Warren died earlier this year
This a great jam...from the beginning. Very tight!
Favorite mule song. Lyrics are awesome
Warren Haynes, is the real deal!
Wow what a piece of Music right here
Warren Haynes is quite possibly the most soulful white male singer ever...and his guitar playing ain't too bad either ;)
yes your mighty dam right sir
I'd like to add john frusciante to the candidacy
@@franzpope9872 You forgot to add The Malice From Dallas - Rocky Athas to the list..
he's just simply amazing guitar player, songwriter.
Say that to Michael McDonald's face😄
On the banks of the deep end
Where your soul is your best friend
Searchin' for a reason
To go astray
Wild dreams turn to nightmares
Silver clouds turn to golden stairs
Everything that you used to know
Is slippin' away, yeah
Here I've got my puzzle-piece
Only got it for a short term lease
No time for askin'
No goin' back to get hurt
Take a little from the mixture
Try to fit it into the picture
Got a place where you're standin'
Dig your shoes into the dirt
Tryin' hard to get back
Runnin' on the stones
Put you on my shoulders
I can be the only one
See the world's still spinnin' 'round
Gettin' dizzy when we look
There's a reason to be home
There's a feelin' when you smile
But it feels like it might take over
This feelin' deep inside
There's a distance down the line
Far away from the station
We can leave it all behind
On a rollin' creation
Stay away from the window
Oh, and lock the door
Can't you learn from the last time
And the time before
See the world's still spinnin' 'round
Gettin' dizzy when we look
Got to leave town
To see yellow flowers bloom
Sun goin' down
It's gonna be, gonna be risin' soon
On the banks of the deep end
Twisted as a riverbend
Searchin' for a reason to go astray, yeah
Couldn't hire twenty-five men
To do what the man couldn't do
Just the sound of his walkin'
Split the whole damn town in two
Into the night full of shadows
He still walks when the thunder rolls
This river ain't shallow
Reminds us that the bell still tolls
Bears in the kitchen
Tigers on TV
The singer's pretendin'
That this song's for me
See the world's still spinnin' 'round
Gettin' dizzy when we look
Took a wrong turn down by the waterline
Heard they had to drag you off the sand
Find a dune and the wind will miss you
Hold on to a piece of dry land
Got to hold on to a piece of dry land
Got to hold on to a piece of dry land
On the banks of the deep end
Where I lost my best friend
Searchin' for a reason to go astray, hey
My lord it doesn’t get any better than this Warren. One of your many North Carolina Fans .

Reminds me of the original Lynyrd Skynyrd sound, most of us can relate to the subject, a great song - appreciated thanks!

a good friend of mine in miami had a show on the internet called from the deep end, nick michaels. he was a dj from toronto. he had stories of the background of different music. he died of a heart attack at home several years ago on memorial day. he also recorded intros to the tv news channels around the country, channel 10 in miami where one of my other satellite customers was the famous news caster, ann bishop. his voice was smooth.
