    I can't stop listening to this these past 15 minutes. Been having a tough time and for whatever reason this feels like Balm for my Soul.

    love this part
    "I put a banjo up into the sky it keeps us moving, it keeps us moving"

    • @olfmombach260

      Yeah, it has a nice crescendo.

    • @edidiongrebong
      @edidiongrebong 8 років тому +6

      Best part of the song especially the crooning just before. It brings so much emotion (sadness, intensity) into the audioscape.

    • @Eurotrash4367

      I agree. Banjos and clouds always make me sad.

    "I have a head full of darkness and darkness is good, because if we all die young, we won't get hurt?" sorta sad and dark.

      @philphilips1020 2 роки тому

      Music is one of the few forms of art that is able to transmit/broadcast human emotions without always needing to be interpreted. Sadness just happens to be one of those emotions.

    Do all yourselves and see these guys perform live, you won't be disappointed, they are so interactive and intimate with the crowd. You'll be amazed! And Dave is freaking awesome on stage.

      @adriannathompson9907 7 років тому +9

      Grateful Dead spoiled me. They gotta do some instrumental jams and not sound like a copy of the album.
      Otherwise what is the point of seeing a music act live?

    The lyrics of this amazing song
    Mama never told 'em there's a devil in me
    I got a mouth full of rotten and a heart full of greed
    Shovels and dirt, shovels and dirt
    Well it ain't worth living if you don't get hurt
    Alright!
    Cowboy hats and crooked teeth
    With a sick shooting pistol just out of my reach
    Shovels and dirt, shovels and dirt
    Well it ain't worth living if you don't get hurt
    I got a head full of darkness and darkness is good
    Cause if we all die young then we don't get hurt
    Alright!
    Well demons pull me side to side again
    Yeah but I'm scared of sleeping, I hate my friends
    Shovels and dirt, shovels and dirt
    Well it ain't worth living if you don't get hurt
    I got a head full of darkness and darkness is good
    Cause if we all die young then we don't get hurt
    I got a head full of darkness and darkness is good
    Cause if we all die young then we don't get hurt
    I put a banjo up into the sky
    It keeps us moving, it keeps us moving
    I put a banjo up into the sky
    It keeps us moving, it keeps us moving
    I put a banjo up into the sky
    It keeps us moving, it keeps us moving
    I put a banjo up into the sky
    It keeps us moving, it keeps us moving
    I put a banjo up into the sky
    It keeps us moving, it keeps us moving
    I put a banjo up into the sky
    It keeps us moving, it keeps us moving
    I put a banjo up into the sky
    It keeps us moving, it keeps us moving
    I put a banjo up into the sky
    It keeps us moving, it keeps us moving
    I put a banjo up into the sky
    It keeps us moving, it keeps us moving
    I put a banjo up into the sky
    I got a head full of darkness and darkness is good
    Cause if we all die young then we don't get hurt
    I got a head full of darkness and darkness is good
    Cause if we all die young then we don't get hurt
    Mama never told 'em there's a devil in me
    I got a sick shooting pistol and I'm ready to leave

    Just saw them up at Whistler as part of the Whistler Presents Outdoor Concert Series on August 6th 2016. We were front row as most of the tourists didn't know who they were listening to. We arrived 30 min. before their performance. Their loss.

    I was watching Lollapalooza livestream and seen these guys, just the other day, for the first time. Bought one of their albums directly afterwards. Jammed to them on an 8 hr road trip two days later. They are musically amazing. Love them. Gifted lyricists and musicians.
