Shane is one of the best guys I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. He let me crash at his house when I was homeless and just busking for money. We had some good times. People really should listen more to his music, he has such great lyricism, and we had some great jams together. Much love.
This is so beautiful.... this song spoke to me. I've struggled with alcoholism and hurting the ones closest to me. This put into words the things I couldn't
How are you doing today, 9 months later? I hope really well! I’ve been an alcoholic and stimulant addict for years but finally got sober almost a month ago. It’s fucking hard. If you need someone that understands, I super do! Thinking of you, stranger!
It's thanks to this channel that I discovered this band, and I genuinely listen to the few videos of this guy ever single day. His lyrics are insanely on the money; it's mental when a singer makes ya realise it's always possible to be more straight up and honest in yer own music, even when ya think ya already are. -Basically, that thing of "oh my word, he's saying things about feelings in a far more concise manner than I'd previously realised..."
Oh man, I am quite sure you are one of the greatest living poets. I'd love to sit and talk to you. keep writing i'd gladly wait for years to hear even one more song of yours
this is my favorite song ... listen to it 1000 times + .. just got myself a guitar , does anyone have the chords , really want to learn this song eventually.
Waddup! Hey I'm really glad you like the song. I means so much to me when people identify with some of the shit I go/put myself through. These are the chords: Intro/Verses Em C G C Chorus G Em G Em C G Em Good luck on learning guitar!
I've clicked the 'like' button on all yer Bat Country songs so many times, every time I watch the video, but RUclips always seems to "unlike" on my behalf...
I am the dog sleeping on rocks that have been sealed in concrete postures Just to beautify the nature in this downtown park I have been praying westward towards a mecca called Santa Cruz I will accept that there's no heaven when I accept that there's no booze But I feel weak Cause I can't speak Can't finish sentences Like I used to I concentrate on all the positive things I have in my life Like my family and this one girl who keeps me sane at night And I feel bad That I feel bad I give them grief When I don't have to I am the anger that you feel when you realize nobody cared at all I am the anger at yourself or maybe at the alcohol I am the rush that you get when you ponder taking a life But to say that you were serious would just be another lie And you feel weak You can't speak Can't help but feeling A little tipped off So take me away from here Take me away from here And looking back Give me some love Or give me a backpack I am the dog sleeping on rocks that have been sealed in concrete postures Just to beautify the nature in this plastic wing-field park I am the strength between relations I am fascination, bipolar aggravation I am self-medication I am masturbation I am indoctrination And you are a greyhound station So take me away from here Take me away from here And looking back I don't need love I just need a backpack

This is honestly breathtakingly beautiful. This guy should be world famous

Don't know why but his songs always hit me hard.
This is amazing! All of his songs are great but this one is my favorite.
I've been listening to the three songs on afistfulofvinyl obsessively for like two weeks. This one really hits home.
this is probably one of my favorite songs of all time
Absolutely incredible. I can definitely identify with this 100%
This is just so damn wonderful.
I remember on Bob Dylan in 61 and bugg today , its a mixture. Very good

I am the dog sleeping on rocks that have been sealed in concrete postures
Just to beautify the nature in this downtown park
I have been praying westward towards a mecca called Santa Cruz
I will accept that there's no heaven when I accept that there's no booze
But I feel weak
Cause I can't speak
Can't finish sentences
Like I used to
I concentrate on all the positive things I have in my life
Like my family and this one girl who keeps me sane at night
And I feel bad
That I feel bad
I give them grief
When I don't have to
I am the anger that you feel when you realize nobody cared at all
I am the anger at yourself or maybe at the alcohol
I am the rush that you get when you ponder taking a life
But to say that you were serious would just be another lie
And you feel weak
You can't speak
Can't help but feeling
A little tipped off
So take me away from here
Take me away from here
And looking back
Give me some love
Or give me a backpack
I am the dog sleeping on rocks that have been sealed in concrete postures
Just to beautify the nature in this plastic wing-field park
I am the strength between relations
I am fascination, bipolar aggravation
I am self-medication
I am masturbation
I am indoctrination
And you are a greyhound station
So take me away from here
Take me away from here
And looking back
I don't need love
I just need a backpack
I just feel the bats
Does anyone know what guitar he's using? Sounds awesome
does anyone know where i could buy his music?? Love this guy!
deadcamelrecords.bandcamp.com/
I miss the Mecca called Santa Cruz.
Is this guy still playing music? He's incredible, but I can't find any info on him or his band anymore..
facebook.com/BatCountryReno/
real reno shit
so its folk should i stay or should i go?
Santa Cruz raised
Love the song, fucking hate Santa Cruz though.
I know you think its cool, but dont name your band after a movie line. That shit is pretentious.
literally you posting this comment is 100 times more pretentious than the band title
the fact that you think your opinion is some sort of factual limitation on who can name their band what? that's a big ego!
timothy790110 idiota.... hes. huge avenged sevenfold fann
it's folk punk nothing means shit
If you believe that anything that ever came out of the mouth of Hunter s.Thompson is "just a movie line" you need to reevaluate your life brother
