- No, it isn't Drake, it is Kyle Brew back with another banger of his own. This was at his home in Melbourne, Australia, on my trip there. In his little courtyard one morning, over a couple cups of coffee as we were trading songs back and forth, he played me this one and it struck me quite hard. Kyle welcomed me into his home with open arms, and his roommates were most accommodating to this far flung, song hunting Tennessean. Hell, Mr. Brew even quit his job for the occasion, so we packed the week with nothing but adventure and song, for you all. I love you, Kyle! I love you, Australia!
And yes, this is indeed filmed entirely on a Sony Handycam from the year 1999. All great art is, including all the field recordings on this playlist; • MiniDV tape field reco...

Holy shit, this is a masterpiece. If there was ever a song written for our generations struggle with religion, it was this one.
Really cool to see a fellow Australian getting respect from American's in this genre. Sometimes I feel starved of quality blues in Australia, but this man is filling the gaps.
i love that
Australia has some of the best punk and pub rock in the world right now. Never thought of looking into Aussie folk
Love kyles style and sound. Just a rad artist all around.
100%

this is a masterpiece for an underrated musician. It's brilliant and perfectly performed
this one’s gonna be stuck in my head indefinitely 🔥
same.
Holy FUCK. This guys music is incredible . ❤ Gems on VHS for putting me on to countless amazing artists 🎉
Love Kyle Brew. Been diving deep into all his albums. Happy to see his growth and that he made it on Gems despite not championing first place. He's in my top 10 gems artists.
Beauty❤
These lyrics tho. "I'm so done from being on the run from my own head." Feeling that. Thanks for this
I’m never surprised, but always amazed at y’all’s ability to pick the right songs and such amazing renditions, all shot and recorded so well 🙌 This one’s an instant classic!
thanks buddy, have you seen the other ones from australia yet?
@@GemsOnVHS I just rewatched a couple, but I’m pretty sure I’ve seen them all. There’s some real talent down under!
Needed this. Thanks bro. Sending love from arkansas ❤️
I felt such a strong earge to gatekeep this song. I've listened to it on repeat for weeks now. Might be my favorite song ever rn. Absolutely love it man KEEP IT COMING
I found this guy a little bit ago independent of Gems, and I’m glad to see his work end up here.
After you hear this tune, you’ll never forget this guys name
Been anxiously awaiting this since you teased it on Instagram a while back, definitely didn't disappoint. This is so good.
glad you stuck around to check it out. cheers!
"Someone help me understand what it is to be content cuz I don't understand what that word even means" Well God damn, thank you for giving voice to that thought 💓
Lovely, like his way of playing a lot, really smooth!
Chords and lyrics below folks, have fun!
Half step down tuning, Capo on 2 in the original, you can play it in standard with Capo on 1 as well though
The F is played as a cowboy chord without Barree (13321x), the G in F shape 2 frets up (35543x)
Verses C / C F C / F G / G C (+C7 in Verse 2 & 4)
Chorus F F# / G C C7 / F / G C C7 / F / G / C E7 Am D7 / F G C (+C7 in 2nd Chorus)
Interlude C / C / F G C (+C7 in 2nd Interlude)
Bridge F / G C C7 / F / G C C7 / F G / C E7 Am D7 / F G C
Outro F G / C E7 Am D7 / F G / F G / F D7 G F# F C
[Verse 1]
Someone help me understand
What it is we're doing here
What it means to be content cause I don't understand
What that word even means
[Verse 2]
Well, am I the child of God?
Or the dust of ancient stars
Is it real or is it worse, a blessing or a curse
Floating helpless through the universe
[Chorus]
If this is really God's plan
I think they oughta make a new one
For all the pain and suffering it brings
The hunger and the killing and the greed
And all the trouble I've given myself
Sitting around
Waiting for something to care about
Oh this existential stress will surely be the end of me
[Interlude]
[Verse 3]
Well to be or to become
Be the finger or the gun
Or the bullet slicing through the ideas of the truth
Polarizing me and you
[Verse 4]
Now the poison's in my dreams
Take away my will to be
Sure it's a miracle to breathe but the choice is ours to see
The damage and the misery
[Chorus]
If this is really God's plan
I think they oughta make a new one
For all the pain and suffering it brings
The hunger and the killing and the greed
And all the trouble I've given myself
Sitting around
Waiting for something to care about
Oh this existential stress will surely be the end of me
[Bridge]
Oh I'm so tired
Of being scared and wired and unslept
Oh I'm so done
Of being on the run from my own head
Oh, whatever it is that put us here
Really did a number on us all
Mmmmh, this existential stress will surely be the reason I fall
[Interlude]
[Outro]
Yeah all this trouble's like a fingerprint, thumb on my neck
Choking rare moments of happiness
Yeah this existential stress will surely be the end
This existential stress will likely be end
This existential stress will surely be the end of me
Thanks man!!
A

So pure, so simple, so touching
This is absolutely a beautiful masterpiece don’t ever change Kyle brew you are an amazing soul and your voice speaks that. When you can see that through your music that you’re not a fraud that speaks more than anything else.
Thank you sir.
From Akron ohio

If I could hit the like button more than once it would be on this song
Gotta quit smoking mate! Me too... In contemplation myself...
Same
Very well said &done!!
Very unique individual & Style I'm a fan definitely will follow his Avengers.
Man, I love GemsOnVHS. They have turned me on to so many great artists
We love you
What a beautifully written song 👏
Wow man.. Absolutely killer. The structure the strum pattern, the picking part, it was all flawless. I love this acoustic version but I can hear all kinds of horns and keys on this bad boy too.. Hope it stays in your repertoire man, quite a tune.
i'm sure he will be making an epic version on a recording soon ... rumor has it hes releasing a new album soon
@@GemsOnVHS Good to hear it! Gis a shout next time you come to Ireland man, I won't even get ya lost the first night like those mad wallopers did! (I probably will though, as I'm sure you know time is quite fluid over this way!) keep up the great work man.
It's such a privilege to see Kyle grow into the artist he is today. Even though I am not the same person I was back during the times I listened to his music on repeat I still love the memories I have (and am) making with his tunes.
Glad to see you again brother, hearing this banger makes me want to come out of musical retirement.
Cheers everyone!
Yeah, i've come to enjoy everything he releases, and hes self released quite a few things now. They're all bangers.
Wow, that is a sick song and very well performed. Kudos from Alaska!
Reminded me of Chris Gantry here and there. But so good crafting and performing that comparison is not needed. Come to Norway!
What a song! On repeat! Can't wait to listen to it on Spotify. This version is perfect
Quite literally my definition of proper modern folk. Spectacular art.
So happy to have found an Aussie legend in this genre.. fkn oath Kyle!
This is really awesome. I can't even remember the last song I listened to on repeat a hundred times after discovering it. Amazing!!
Damn son!
Beautiful
Music never gets old nor my mind when it runs everlasting thru my head
Love his guitar playing.
Such a writer....
Heard he was having a tour in the US but I can't find any tour dates or anything.
Love this one! Kyle’s got great style can’t wait to hear more
I also barely found this gem and boy,what a masterpiece!!
This guys so great!!!
That's good stuff. Thanks for sharing!
This is probably the best song ive ever heard in my life

whole heart
Love the groove
Love it Kyle!
this is really fun and awesome!
Hot damn, shared this with a few already and so far, they’re all hung up on the “Drake” reference thinking what was said was, “Drag song.”
Judging it all off based on that, before it even kicks off/ giving it a chance. Ugh. the irony. Regardless, I can’t stop hitting repeat. Absolute beauty!! ❤
Another masterpiece!!
❤
Yes. Yes. Yes. This is a good one.
Love it!
amazing
I like that shirt
I need these songs on a vinyl record.. 🔥
I feel you brother!
Nicely done sir
You could make a hatful of change near the gum wall anytime 😮
I have an idea for a tv show and if I were a writer of tv shows I would definitely use this as the credits roll.
Great tune.
Great song
just wow!! love it!!!

This. 👏🏻 💛💛💛
Can't put my finger on it, but for some reason this reminds me of a Rusty Cage song.
F-ing brilliant!!!
This dude is a fucking gem.
Another good one
So sick
