Yes I heard this on Walking Dead. I'm also a bassist so immediately recognized the sound of a bowed double bass which is rare in non classical music. I love how the bassist just whips out his German bow to add some nice accented bowed bass tones!
I come back to this song when I feel my life isn't going anywhere and I feel like nothing I do gets me closer to my goals. To me the song is about how life is about perspective and how while some people look at you and your goals and don't see their worth, it's up to you to choose whether or not you want to continue pursuing them and find the things you do value in this life, because no matter what you do the people you love and the life you live will all end.Then it amps you up by talking about how the smallest actions you do can change the world so don't waste your time worrying about whether or not people accept you and your goals we all end up dust anyway, so why drink in the toxicity of people that try to spread their negativity? They accomplished their goal of trying to tear you down, will you give up on your dreams or keep trying to plant those damn flowers.
Holy shit every comment is for Walking Dead. These dudes are quality, both in their music and as people in general. Really chill, talented guys. The rest of their music deserves the kind of attention that this song gets, lmao.
I heard this group for the first time in Toronto 2 years ago, at a play called Robin Hood's Heart or something like that. I loved them inmediately. I'm so happy to see that they finally recive the recognition they deserve. Love your music guys! And thanks to TWD for casting some light on your music!
Why cant music be so pleasant pure and fresh sound! This is beautiful. A lot of music feature in the walking dead is old school music. Today's music does not hold a candle to any of it. Same with anime and movies.
I heard that Parsonsfield were still developing their sound. Well, they have passed that hurdle because they were tight, amazing, innovative and a delight to watch and listen to at the 2015 Vancouver Folk Music Festival in Canada this July. Very impressive indeed. They were GREAT!
"I came along to find a little peace of mind neglectin' all my duties, steppin' off that straightened line now I just sit by my front door filled with indolence and sound it's like I'm watchin' the weeds grow on my brow and I had a pure potential in a soiled white shirt with love enough to kill me, but was unsure of its worth and though the night is sweetened by some rising of the moon I've lived enough to know the battle's never through you pass something down, no matter where or how will there be weeds or wildflowers affixed upon your bows there's a crooked burning cigarette rollin' on your tongue will there be weeds or wildflowers when you're done remember you traveled through the desert, you traveled to the sea lookin' out on some horizon, asking what you mean to me and we all hang around with a free or toiled mind while all of our branches entwine and as I watch the brick erode from day to day the leaves change their colors and the loft fills with hay as a blade of sunshine cuts across my chest the blood beneath boils with unrest you pass something down, no matter where or how will there be weeds or wildflowers affixed upon your bows there's a crooked burning cigarette rollin' on your tongue will there be weeds or wildflowers when you're done blown about by the wind, a worthless little thing but the world can feel the changes of a butterfly's wing and so that crooked burning cigarette rollin' on your tongue will leave its weeds before your flowers yet have sprung will there be weeds or wildflowers when you're done "
I'm from Mexico and I'm watching the new TWD episode right now... IT WAS A HUGE START!!!! I tell you guys, you'll be on my playlist the whole week, and more, obvs.
Saw them in Philly opening for Lake Street Dive - fantastic show all around. My first exposure to them and they are the real deal. Best CD of the year....by far...

Saw these guys last night in a very intimate setting in Healdsburg, CA. They sounded so good, their harmonies are beautiful, and they can down and funky as well. All in all it was a tremendous how.
Much appreciated. You all a great! Saw your in Nashville tonight I think. I seriously recommend coming to Knoxville, you'd be right at home. Much luck on the tour, and I look forward to your LP!
Heard this song on walking dead a few years ago. Now i listen to it almost everyday. Why is good music like this hidden? Without walking dead I wouldn't have even heard of it
This tune, and Oats in the Water, are just about the two best things I took from TV these past 3-4 years -- both thanks to The Walking Dead. Show is a flaming wreck now, but I'll always remember those early/middle years fondly.
+Adam Jakeman I liked carol version better, but then again she is my favorite on the walking dead. She is one bad ass with a cool as a cucumber demeanor which makes her even more of a bad ass. By the way, nice song and video. But again I like Carol's version better :)
Feel like I'm already to sing along with this catchy & kinda familiar-sounding tune. Told kind of a cool story as Carol moved through the outside for some foraging (weeds or wildflowers, anyone?), and ended up getting her a soiled white shirt sprayed with walker blood. Nice!

+Russell Solomon He substituted for my 8th grade science class a few years ago lmao.
This song makes me want to whip up a batch of acorn and beet cookies.
Ahahahahaha
Then I'm one of the biggest Irish Nerds you'll ever meet my friend
Ok, what music do you listen to?
nothing better on a post apocalyptic day.
Beatnikzombie that's funny
I absolutely love this song. The unpredictable chord progression is a breath of fresh air.
I come back to this song when I feel my life isn't going anywhere and I feel like nothing I do gets me closer to my goals. To me the song is about how life is about perspective and how while some people look at you and your goals and don't see their worth, it's up to you to choose whether or not you want to continue pursuing them and find the things you do value in this life, because no matter what you do the people you love and the life you live will all end.Then it amps you up by talking about how the smallest actions you do can change the world so don't waste your time worrying about whether or not people accept you and your goals we all end up dust anyway, so why drink in the toxicity of people that try to spread their negativity?

Omg same
So true mate
The Walking Dead!
+Gravey Davey I thought it was the Avett Brothers. Gonna have to give these guys a listen!
+BenzieBawks same here!
here here!
+Gravey Davey only reason I looked this up
+gamingcentral me too
Holy shit every comment is for Walking Dead. These dudes are quality, both in their music and as people in general. Really chill, talented guys. The rest of their music deserves the kind of attention that this song gets, lmao.
one thing that I really love about this band, they don't need fancy studio or equipment to produce such a high quality stuff like this.
I'm a metalhead, and I actually really like this song. I never saw a dude play a tree before, which is kinda cool. Well done, boys.
I love finding new songs I wouldn’t usually listen to from movies/series ❤️
I heard this group for the first time in Toronto 2 years ago, at a play called Robin Hood's Heart or something like that. I loved them inmediately. I'm so happy to see that they finally recive the recognition they deserve.
Love your music guys! And thanks to TWD for casting some light on your music!
I heard this song on The Walking Dead. I just had to look it up. It is now on my playlists.
had to stop "walking dead" to track this down - love it!
+bigstimpycat1 Me too!
+TheoriginalCoffeegod but now i can't listen to it b/c it becomes an earworm & i can't get it out of my head!!!!
me too :) and I love how they played the entire thing
They are on stage and provide the music for "The Heart Of Robin Hood" at the Royal Alexander theatre in Toronto,Ontario
This is such a happy song, I love it.
Why cant music be so pleasant pure and fresh sound!
This is beautiful. A lot of music feature in the walking dead is old school music. Today's music does not hold a candle to any of it. Same with anime and movies.
Max and Chris's voices are an honor to listen to

"I came along to find a little peace of mind

and I had a pure potential in a soiled white shirt
with love enough to kill me, but was unsure of its worth

I've lived enough to know the battle's never through
you pass something down, no matter where or how
will there be weeds or wildflowers affixed upon your bows
there's a crooked burning cigarette rollin' on your tongue
will there be weeds or wildflowers when you're done
remember you traveled through the desert, you traveled to the sea
lookin' out on some horizon, asking what you mean to me
and we all hang around with a free or toiled mind
while all of our branches entwine
and as I watch the brick erode from day to day
the leaves change their colors and the loft fills with hay
as a blade of sunshine cuts across my chest
the blood beneath boils with unrest
you pass something down, no matter where or how
will there be weeds or wildflowers affixed upon your bows
there's a crooked burning cigarette rollin' on your tongue

blown about by the wind, a worthless little thing

and so that crooked burning cigarette rollin' on your tongue
will leave its weeds before your flowers yet have sprung
will there be weeds or wildflowers when you're done "
Saw these guys live last night. They are a thousand times better in person.
2022 and this magic still brings me back again and again. My favourite song for the shower 🚿 💚
2023 and still rocking this jam
This song never gets old. Gives the feeling and vibe that there is still hope for the future. :)
That bassist was my substitute science teacher in 2013... lmao.
Lmao
When you wanna kill zombies and bake cookies
The originality and genuine artistry in this song needs too be more recognized!!
What an amazing song. I can't stop listening to it and my mood rises to the sky 🤷😁
Greetings from germany ✌️
Found this song on Spotify in my recommendations and I love it very much.
Thanks for getting such good music out of my Octave Mandolin. You make it sound great.
my man chris is just having the time of his life throughout the whole vid
Always! 🙌
The green hat guys head movements are hypnotic.
Carol hahaha...she brought me here #TWD
I'm from Mexico and I'm watching the new TWD episode right now... IT WAS A HUGE START!!!! I tell you guys, you'll be on my playlist the whole week, and more, obvs.

Carol the Cookie Maker! Such a Badass
legendary
Saw these guys last night in a very intimate setting in Healdsburg, CA. They sounded so good, their harmonies are beautiful, and they can down and funky as well. All in all it was a tremendous how.
Expect huge increase in number of views tomorrow ..
Chichaz Hare 1 year later well ???
Over an old but sturdy branch of a tree.... they can create a fabulous lyrics....
They all look like they could be characters from the show.
I'll be playing this long after TWD finishes.
Saw these guys in Greenfield. They are fantastic!
So absolutely rhythmic,melodic,wonderful,harmonized a play u showed lolXD
Would love to be able to move my head the way the guy with the green cap does! He's feeling it... Amazing song!
Beautiful!!
Much appreciated. You all a great! Saw your in Nashville tonight I think. I seriously recommend coming to Knoxville, you'd be right at home. Much luck on the tour, and I look forward to your LP!
What a cool group of friends.
I love this wonderful song
Still love this song.. ❤❤❤❤
one of my favorite songs ever!
Song Rules! Gorgeous and smart!
When I first heard the song I seriously thought it was from the 70's!
Heard this song on walking dead a few years ago. Now i listen to it almost everyday. Why is good music like this hidden? Without walking dead I wouldn't have even heard of it
This is a thing of infinite beauty.
This is the only way to get super popular and make a living these days. This is such a great band and Walking Dead brought so many people.
You people Rock. Have no doubt.
I hurried this song on walking dead and fell in love 😍 😂
Heard*
Muito ótimo!!!!! Vocês são demais! Brasil!!!!!
They are handsome.
This is so good. One of my favorites.
Really great song.
wonderfull, thanks so much
This tune, and Oats in the Water, are just about the two best things I took from TV these past 3-4 years -- both thanks to The Walking Dead. Show is a flaming wreck now, but I'll always remember those early/middle years fondly.
Love this! Thought it was so catchy when I heard it on TWD, so I had to look it up.
LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I woke up with a strage feeling of baking cookies and had to play this tune while doing it
Joke aside, this song is a masterpiece. The joy it brings me when I listen to it, wow !
great band
comment thumbs up if your because of walking dead 👍👍
👎
+Adam Jakeman I liked carol version better, but then again she is my favorite on the walking dead. She is one bad ass with a cool as a cucumber demeanor which makes her even more of a bad ass.
By the way, nice song and video. But again I like Carol's version better :)
TWD BEST SONGS OR WHAT
+Bj Coughlin you realise the song isthe exact same song from that episode just this music was made 3 yars ago

Saw them at the Clinton Music festival in NY last year... I'm hoping they'll be there this weekend!
You guys sound awesome. The band has grown since the last time I saw you! Keep playing great music!
Carol ;)
nice song!
Carol führte mich hierher. Nice Music. Greets from Berlin
Feel like I'm already to sing along with this catchy & kinda familiar-sounding tune. Told kind of a cool story as Carol moved through the outside for some foraging (weeds or wildflowers, anyone?), and ended up getting her a soiled white shirt sprayed with walker blood. Nice!
carol🍪💐❤︎
