About Nick:
Wielding an ethereal croon and masterful whistle crafted from a lifetime chasing lizards through the Ozark hills, Nick Shoulders is a living link to roots of country music with a penchant for the absurd. Combining his family's deep ties to regional traditional singing with his years of playing to crowded street corners, Nick has sought to forge a hybridized form of raucously clever country music; born of forgotten rocky hollers and bred to confront the tensions of the 21st century South. As evidenced by his surreal album art and anachronistic songwriting, Nick’s creative output is steeped in the complicated history of his beloved home of rural Arkansas, but crafted as a conscious rebuke of country music’s blind allegiance to historical seats of power and repression. With a kind word and a mean yodel, Nick hopes to put the ‘Try’ in country.

Lyrics:
We worry more than most,
At the mercy of ghosts,
Can’t you tell by the way we stare?
Every moment a tomb,
Always opened too soon,
Another cold breath to raise a hair
Lend an ear to the ground
And hold the fire we’ve found,
I’ll be howling at the crescent moon
Chew the stones of the deceit
And live your dreams of defeat,
It’ll all be quiet soon.
Turn on the dark
I’m yelling out in fright,
Turn on the dark
I pray for endless night
It was never my choice
There ain’t an end in sight,
Turn on the dark
‘cause I’m afraid of the light
It’s the sirens and lights,
Electric funeral rites,
Another dull knife in my skin
Holy hive of decay
The unamerican way,
It’s a constant inattentive sin.
There’s no eye on the throne
And you’re always alone,
We didn’t want it
And it isn’t fair
See you never I hope,
We are determined to cope,
We will not despair.
Won’t ya turn on the dark
I’m yelling out in fright,
Turn on the dark
I pray for endless night
It was never my choice there
Ain’t an end in sight,
Turn on the dark
‘cause I’m afraid of the light
(written by Nick Shoulders)

If it was the apocalypse I would need Nick to have a residency at my war camp for morale.
Those microphones are worth more than the house.
Enjoyable. Thank you.
You're not wrong... Those RCA ribbon mics date back to around the same time that house was built in the 1940s/50s. That was actually a happy coincidence!
This song would be great in a Rob Zombie type of movie, or some type of dark antihero movie.
We can get behind that!
I wish whoever produces What We Do In The Shadows would see this and get it on an episode or 2!
I have never agreed with a random RUclips comment more than I do with this!
This is definitely my favorite from him. Especially this version of this.
Nick killed this indeed! Thanks for listening!
Brilliant
Great song! Best mullet ever! Winner winner chicken dinner! 🤩🤩
Badass track. And Milly. Chills.
Made me think what a collaboration with Amigo The Devil might sound like.

Well done! The fiddle work was outstanding and added much to the song.
Milly definitely added another layer of somethin' to an already great tune. We're honored to have captured this special performance of the song!

So glad I stumbled upon Nick's music a few months ago. Amazing talent. Love everything I've heard from him. Really impressed by many of his song's lyrics as well.
Magic!

Nice Halloween song
We were more than most at the mercy of ghosts
Oh, can't you tell by the way we stare?
Every moment a tomb always opened too soon
Another cold breath to raise a hair
[Verse 2]
Lend an ear to the ground and hold the fire we found
I'll be howlin' at the crescent moon
We'll chew the stones of deceit and live your dreams of defeat
Oh, it will all be quiet soon
[Chorus]
"Won't you turn on the dark?" I'm yelling out in fright
Turn on the dark, I pray for еndless night
It was never my choicе, there ain't an end in sight
Turn on the dark, 'cause I'm afraid of the light
[Chorus]
"Oh won't you turn on the dark?" I'm yelling out in fright
Turn on the dark, I pray for endless night
It was never my choice, there ain't an end in sight
Turn on the dark, 'cause I'm afraid of the light
[Verse 3]
It's the sirens and lights, electric funeral rights
Another dull knife in my skin
Holy hive of decay, the un-American way
It's a constant in the tentative sin
[Verse 4]
There's no eye on the throat and you're always alone
We didn't want it, and it isn't fair
Seein' ever I hope we are determined to cope
We will not despair
[Chorus]
"Won't you turn on the dark?" I'm yelling out in fright
Turn on the dark, I pray for endless night
It was never my choice, there ain't an end in sight
Turn on the dark, 'cause I'm afraid of the light
[Chorus]
"Oh won't you turn on the dark?"
I'm yelling out in fright
Turn on the dark, I pray for endless night
It was never my choice
There ain't an end in sight
Turn on the dark, 'cause I'm afraid of the light
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
"Won't you turn on the dark?" I'm yelling out in fright
Turn on the dark, I pray for endless night
It was never my choice, there ain't an end in sight
Turn on the dark, 'cause I'm afraid of the light
[Chorus]
"Oh won't you turn on the dark?" I'm yelling out in fright
Turn on the dark, I pray for endless night
Well it was never my choice, there ain't an end in sight
Turn on the dark, 'cause I'm afraid of the light
shel silverstein would be proud
So glad this popped up in my suggestions this morning.
As are we! Thanks for watching, Kelsey!
S-A-M-E.
Love it!

Almost too great
The orange mullet > let your freak flag fly brother! (Milly is wonderful)
Hey tiger king! I thought you were still locked up
Get serious pantomime villain vibes from this song
Accurate.
O death ?
Nick adopt me or I'll die.
