Casper Allen, "Carving Creases," // GemsOnVHS™

- UPDATE 2/1/24: If you're reading this, you're seeing this video get re released after an unfortunate incident of Casper Allen doing some bad stuff. Yeah, he messed up, and we made the video private. He took money from fans for merch that didn't exist, took advantage of fans and acted like an asshole. He knows this, we know this, and you probably know this. If you were one of the victims, reach out to Casper or us and we will try and make it right. He is working on it, and is sober now, trying to turn his life around. So we're here to help, cus why not. Everyone can do better. This song rocks, we love Casper despite his flaws, and we're glad to see him working on himself.
Also, this version of this song is on streaming services now.
Well folks, we might have done it. Watching Casper play live has always filled me with awe, but I never did capture it in a way I felt conveyed the power of his voice, writing and playing. Here we just might have bottled lighting, though.
Everyone has something to say about face tattoos, some preconceived notion of what they say about a person or how they're going to be. I wouldn't be surprised if that's why Casper has them - he likes to defy convention, go against the grain. Talking to him you would quickly find he's nothing like you'd imagine at first glance - personable, charismatic, intelligent and full of stories.
This song is one of the first ones I heard of Casper's, on a low-fi bandcamp album he'd put out. He'd sent it to me the first time we spoke, online, and the power of the writing shined through even then. It's what sparked my interest in finding Casper, and meeting in New Tazewell all those months ago. Then I went to New Orleans upon his invite, and discovered a whole bunch of talented folks down there. So it's just one of those serendipitous moments, where the passion for music really brings folks together.

Fans beware Casper Allen is running a scam from his merch store and stealing from fans don’t buy anything from the him/merch store you won’t ever get it.
This dude robbed his fans by never sending merch and now he’s scamming IG and FB pages claiming to be selling his record collection. He sets up accounts claiming to be moving, cuts prices, and even works out deals. Then he takes the money and never sends anything. He got me for over $100 and I know if 4 other people with this last IG account before he deleted once word started getting around. He’s a straight up thief. GemsOnVHS needs to take his videos down and distance themselves from this train wreck.
If you got scammed by Casper, file an IC3 Complaint form with the FBI, it only takes a few minutes and it’s the only way this dude is going to stop scamming people.
Friend sent me the instagram link but i refuse to make an account, this clown owes me $60
This clown owes me money and i refuse to make an instagram, friend sent your recent post
More soul in a single note, more truth in a single line than all of Nashville combined
Truer words have never been said.
Idk about allllllll of that hahaha but he is very gifted
YES🖤
How can you tell a man which way to go?
Though there's two lanes on the highway, they both run on the same road
Watch yer speed
Turn up your radio
It’s a long way running when you're running down your soles
I was once a sunrise just like you
Now I ride upon my sunrise turning sunsets into moons
Your gaze is true
Fixed on the man I knew
I've been harder pressed before but I’m just runnin' down my fuse
And a man stands alone
A man stands alone in his mind
I'm no man
My face is young
But I'll carve patterns in my creases til my wrinkles start to come
What darkness in this world defines your light?
And who are you to shine it when my dark is burning bright?
I see the shadows in every passing tide
It's the wave that makes the break but it's the break that gives it might
And a man stands alone
A man stands alone in his mind
I'm no man -- my face is young
But I'll carve patterns in my creases til my wrinkles start to come
Zach Felver Thank you !
@@mcaleer73 this is good stuff...🤠💯
TY! Wow..... What Great writing!
You missed the first word......WELL...!
Just kidding!! Thank you!!
I thought it was "running down your soul"?
A friend of mine passed away yesterday and this was the last song he shared on his page.....
Heavy brother, hope you’re doin alright
My friend just died yesterday and this and songs from my old buddy Ben Flippo (lostdog street band) gettin me through and process. Hope your alright .
What a life eh guys and gals
This really does show the power in his voice love the raspy tone he has
Agree
Saw him when he opened for Lost Dog Street Band in Knoxville. He was phenomenal.
What was Lost Dog Street Band's setlist there? Im going to watch them in Nashville in a few weeks
Knoxville is the best
I'm seeing both them and Casper this weekend in Nashville for the first time. Literally just found out about Casper today. Amazing talent!
Saw them in Memphis last Friday, and it was beautiful.
Same!
There's something really special about this video
agreed
Is that a teardrop I see falling from his face towards the end?
Truly special
Its the camera work..... The song is meh
@@nickrussia u must be a professional music critic.
Saw him perform last night and he has one of the most powerful voices I've ever heard. He is even better live. This song is beautiful❤
Where did you see him?
@@smwrbd at the Troubador in Hollywood
I keep coming back to this song. It just hits home.
This is so raw it hurts, he must’ve been dealing with some heavy shit. Keep on keepin’ on.
I actually liked his joke tbh
only the ones who'd do it like it
the others are ashamed they couldn't think of anything the last time they took a woman out
I tell it all the time
Me too I hope Casper knows that there are people out there who think it’s funny.
What's wrong with joking it's not like it's serious?
This is the first time I’ve ever hear Casper and this song gave me chills. I don’t get emotional from a lot of music but this did it for me. I can’t wait to listen to more.
Thank you for your words. I just found a new nich. Your tones are of truth and I hope you are made to be a footprint in history. You just made my day a good one. Much love.
Absolutely loved it. Your channel is priceless. Thank you.
Thanks WildWind.

I love your channel. Opened my mind to new music. Thank you so much. I'll be honest, I can't stand country, but love the folk!

GemsOnVHS this is random but do you agree that colter wall would do an amazing cover of this song?
Is slash his father?
Wow. I never Cease to be amazed Anthony, both by your ear for good artists as well as your editing. True masterpieces. I feel like this one is gonna be an instant classic. Man I would love to see a Christmas party full of musicians like Guy Clarke’s Kitchen. Except with Benjamin Todd, Casper, Matt Heckler, colter wall, Sierra, etc. A guy can dream right. Time to watch this again
Stay tuned, you might get a surprise. Cheers and thanks mate.
Yes..🎸
Great idea.
I thought I was the only one who liked the group of young pickers you just mentioned.
I'm so I'm love with everything about this man's tune.
Thank you for giving this back to us
Honestly never heard a song that hits me so hard.
Always incredible
This song just showed me how beatiful this 🌎 can be.
What a voice, seems the soul that brings it forth has been here for a while.
Wish he was on Spotify

This channel and all artists are so underrated
Zac Zaring biggg facts bro on god

I love the fact you guys re-releases it, despite everything that had gone down. I had watched this video years ago, and looked for it everywhere until I learned what had happened. We all deserve second, third, and fourth chances. As long as we acknowledge our mistakes and pay our dues. Cheers to this channel!
One of the best RUclips channels out there. So much under appreciated music.
Wow his voice is gorgeous! Thanks for sharing all this beauty! I hope Casper makes a record soon

Opened for lost dog street band at the Bijou in Knoxville TN. I liked his performance more than the main event! His music has so much soul!
I'm speechless. Such a beautiful voice. So much talent. I'm in love & so thankful to be blessed enough to hear this. I have actual tears in my eyes
I listened to this over n over, it's a hit a big hit
First time I seen Casper Allen was last night in Baton Rouge opening up for Lost Dog Street band and he was awesome. Really poured his hear and soul out to us. This one was my favorite song he done that night. Great stories and stuff also. Casper, you made a new fan, brother. Looking forward to your album in April!!!
was at the show as well, such a great performance
Blair LeJeune For sure. Wish they both would have played longer.
J Wheeler agreed. And what was the deal with Matt heckler introducing them AND NOT PLAYING!!
Ashley Fetzer I know. Was sure hoping he was gonna sing with them. I felt they could have definitely played longer. So many good songs they could have sang.
I saw Casper in Salt Lake City on Sunday and he was amazing I hope he comes back a true artist
I met casper last year in his home town. I got to see him play live. Its
was great. He's such a cool guy, and an amazing artist.
Thank you so much
Just saw him play last night in Seattle. Amazing talent!
So much emotion behind his voice.
One of my absolute favorite songs
4:29 This gave me the piss shivers 😮 thanks gems on vhs
Goosebumps.
How is it possible that Casper has a single thumbs down on a video? Great music great dude. Got to meet him with lost dog in Seattle. Talked about our Texas home towns together. Great guy
His voice shares qualities with The Tallest Man on Earth, whose existence I'd completely forgotten before hearing Casper Allen here. Two exceptional talents.
I'm glad I took the time to listen to this, great song.
I feel it.. Beautiful work, Sir..
I met Casper while he was running the Merch Stand for Lost Dog a couple months back, Very cool dude, not to mention extremely Talented.
Caspers voice is so haunting
WOW, you smashed that one out of the park!! BRAVO!!! One of the best song I have ever heard!!
Honestly the love of my life Casper
My wife had a completely different taste in music until she meet me. But she never understood the music until I relapsed and she had to witness what addiction does to people. Took her to go see Casper Allen and Benjamin Todd and she had tears rolling down during this song and using again.
I’ve had a brilliant time watching Casper grow musically and more honest with himself just through these videos. Ready for the new shit man.
Anthony ya did it again
Brought magic n wonder back to us in theese dark lonely times
Nice to feel that warmth again of that Holy light
great job on the filming on this performance. this channel is filled with gems. nice work.
thanks buddy
My goodness. I'm glad he got this out on video. This is fucking incredible.
I love true music
Casper you write such good songs. This song, and the one that follows it on the Live in Colorado album, called Dirty Now are two of my favourites. But that is just two. Just about every tune of yours has had a favourite status over the last few years.
I am very much looking forward to hearing your new material that you may have written since your recent holiday away from vices.
Casper your such a sweet soul!
Your amazing brother well done I play this before work everyday!!!!
Very impressed, this kid can belt it out. Authentic and moving, keep it up!
Another amazing one!
This guy gave it his all here
But it’s the break that gives it might.
Got damn.
This song is littered with lines from the heavens.
I've found so many awesome "unknown" artists on this channel it blows my mind.... guess its time to sub haha keep em comin brother
This is the kind of voice that makes me believe what he's singing about.
Your voice is sincere. Your lyrics poetic. Open your eyes when you sing. Let us see in. You fuckn rock dude. Your voice needs to be shared.
"It's a long way running, when you're running down your soul." God. Damn.
Casper, your Beautiful !! Creases and all...
This hits the spot, you're a beautiful human being and thank you for sharing this with us💜🤙💜🤙💜
Holy crap, this is deep! Beautiful! I'm officially a fan! That rasp is yummy!
Thanks for the chills. ❤
I can this kid in my head.... 🤘🏼❤️😷
Just amazing !
I want to see him & Shakey Graves collab!👏
Yes that would be fn AMAZING
Shakey graves sucks.
Fucking pointless.
Beautiful!
Oh my world the lord created a beautiful soul
Super cool cat. Met him at a LDSB and Matt Heckler concert in St Louis. Super sad he didn’t play but I got to meet him since he was selling merch. Come to wv!!! 💙
