The song is so beautiful sounding and so tragic at the same time, everytime I hear it im left with a deep sense of melancholy. I'm always vaguely offended when the next song plays because guns feels like it just has to stand alone.
October 1st is my birthday. While I’m Canadian the story of this song makes me play it every year to mourn those lost to mass shootings. Praying for America tonight.
October 1st is my birthday and the anniversary of the shooting. I’m Canadian ... privileged to not fear being randomly shot while shopping or at work or shot for flipping someone a finger in traffic. Y’all break my heart America.
Not again…… when are you going to bam these bloody guns? As my grandad once told me, guns were invented for only one reason: to kill. Peace and love from the UK.
Politically correct? DBT is one of the few American bands willing to call out the bullshit of current politicians, insane laws and pervasive racism in this country. That's far from politically correct. Their latest album, "American Band," is one of the few and best rock protest albums of the last 10 years.
This song makes me tear up man. These guys are national treasures....best damn songwriters alive
No doubt!

I luvm
Hard to describe how perfectly this song captures a point in time, sentiment, mood, etc. Great song, great album, great band.

Best band in the world right now.. Not even close.
Still Truckin in 2020....❤
i heard an instant classic .
It's 2022 and this song hurts every bit as much to listen to. Nothing changes and we keep making our children the martyrs of gun rights 💔💔
Such a great song that's more timely and important than ever.
Sad and beautiful, it's a song that hurts in it's brutal truths.
Best Band in the land!!!
Agree, but I think they share the title with Tedeschi-Trucks Band.
It crushes my heart and soul each time I listen to this jewel.
Classic brilliance from a great band
Patterson and Mike write with passion, intelligence and love DBT
New album fantastic and this song damn wonderful
I honestly feel bad for folks who haven't ever heard DBT...smh
these are the good guys
My new favourite band, keep the good message coming. We need you now more than ever...
Great album, looking forward to seeing them soon in Ireland. The album 'American Band' is a very poetic, noble and dignified document of protest.
What a wonderful and beautiful song Paterson
This song has me weeping.
Great song.. The last line really gets me
Accidentally in 2005. Thanks folks.
Damn.... these guys just keep getting better. This new record is great.
Beautifully sad
Beautiful, tragic song that haunts you every time it happens again.
This song was shared by me after the 280th mass casualty shooting of 2019.
What a perfect song - horrible time, yet a great way to remember a horrible history
Hurts like hell

Some of us wish we didn’t break your Canadian Hearts but I’m afraid you are right.
Love this song and this record is excellent!
Great band!
¡¡SO-BRE-VA-LO-RA-DOS!! La voz del cantante mola, poco más.
Literate. Liberal. Legit. Lovely...
and populist
Does anyone else know where Umpqua actually is? I do.
@James Zell the problem
I live in Winchester witch is the same town as the shooting
For the 10 people who voted this down, I hope you're going to be ok.
I'd love to hear Stevie Nicks cover this
The 15 down votes are clearly concentrating on the terrible subject matter because the song, and band, are freaking epic.
Not again…… when are you going to bam these bloody guns? As my grandad once told me, guns were invented for only one reason: to kill.
Peace and love from the UK.
They kinda sound like politically correct Counting Crows! I love them!

Ok, maybe I should've said 'political' instead of politically correct. lol
@James Zell Zero correlation between the two. But nice try with the dramatic straw man argument.
@@robinminkler You were right the first time. Not saying that’s a good or a bad thing, but you were right.
