Woah. I literally learned about this band right here and listened to this song a bunch and today looked at your comment after deciding to check out their other music. Just wow man. Gone like that, God save us.
Reading the comments and realizing he’s passed is heartbreaking and inspiring at the same time, knowing someone’s left something for others to find long after their gone, but never really gone This is amazing, only discovered this 3 weeks ago and blown away at how well it seems to be hidden
Why couldn't I have found you before you were taken from us.......love and respect for you and yours, your were and always will be an amazing musician in my eyes
The best part of this video is the dissonance from the band in the other room. It gives this ethereal afterworld effect. Accidental awesomeness in recording!
We stacked dozens of hay bales in front of the entrance to the armory hoping to baffle the sound coming from the Quad Stage a little bit. Might've been Deer Tick or McCauley solo? Austin Williams might be right, could've been The Growlers. Long enough ago that we can't recall the specifics of the day. But it was magic then, and we're stoked that some of the magic was captured on video too. Glad you're here Rob!
I was living in Minneapolis in 2013, when on a very cold January day I browsed upcoming shows at a local music venue. I saw a poster of a band I never heard of. But a big bushy beard, piercing eyes and a violin were suggesting something special. That Sunday night I saw two people produce extraordinary music, with an emotional pull that is here to stay.
I found them about 1 year after his death, didn't know he had passed at the time. I turned my dad on to their music and he was the one that ended up informing me that David lamb had passed. I feel like everyone could have benefited from more music from this great duo.
I work my fingers to the bone Not a pretty little penny have I got to show I ain’t looking for much Just a little bit of rest by the side of the road I lift my voice to the forces above The Lords of labor and the Goddess of love Ain’t I been a good, hard working Faithful servant and son Then the sky turns black And it cracks with a thundering voice Work is what you are when you’re breathing in and out 'Til your final breath falls to the floor So swing down that sledgehammer through the wood A little test of mind over flesh oughtta do you good Get up off the ground You can lay down when the day is done And on the seventh day You can lay in the morning sun I want to make my home on a mountain high Just me and my lover and the big old sky I ain’t asking for much Just a little bit of rest before the day that I die I lift my voice to the forces above The Lords of labor and the Goddess of love Ain’t i been a good, hard working Faithful servant and son Then the sky turns black And it cracks with a thundering voice Work is what you are when you’re breathing in and out 'Til your final breath falls to the floor So swing down that sledgehammer through the wood A little test of mind over flesh oughtta do you good Get up off the ground You can lay down when the day is done And on the seventh day You can lay in the morning sun
This is the theme song to blue collar hardworking people. No song can capture how it feels to actually have to work hard with your hands and what we put our body's through on a daily basis to try and live a decent life but Dave captures it. This isn't a song for all the office workers out there,this is a song for the men swinging hammers, bending steel, and physically putting ourselves through hell for your little slice of life.R.I.P Dave Lamb, you were a musical god amongst men and you will forever be missed.
I read ytour comment, then i search on wikipedia, then i find David Lamb is ACTUALLY DEAD, thinking about an hoiax... I feel bad to understand that he never sing again...... :( :( :( RIP david lamb.....
beautiful people. . I have been tattooing 20 odd years and never wanted my fingers tattooed. but as a tribute to Dave i would love to get (come home) on my fingers. such a beautiful sentiment. always makes me tear up. the only tattoo i would want showing in a suit.
The other band in the background is like ghostly voices of workers long gone. All it needed was the ring of a sledgehammer. It was probably distracting for them while playing, but it's eerily beautiful to listen to it now.
There exists a Human Rights Watch report on Child Labor titled "Finger to the Bone" that was written in 2000, and now that your appropriative song leads the Google searches, it is very hard to find. Thank you for appropriating the term, and slowing down the efforts to end child labor.
Hahahaha your Karen ass came all the way too youtube too complain to the manager... also to a man who's unfortunately no longer with us. Nice. "Fingers to the bone" is a common phrase and not unique to said organization you cant find on the internet... damn simpleton.
Met them once at a college venue not enough people went to...David was a treasure who was taken from us too soon
I'm so jealous. I wish I could have seen them

Yes ❤️🦅❤️
And what a treasure he was. Wish I could have seen them live.
I just heard this song on the show resident alien. Heartbreaking because this is truly great music. Love from Alaska
Same here! Had to look them up. Love their music.
Brought me here too
I heard it there as well I've been a brown bird fan for years. I was surprised to hear it on TV.
So sad he's gone, so glad his music stays.
Why couldn't I have found you before you were taken from us.......love and respect for you and yours, your were and always will be an amazing musician in my eyes
My all time favortie song. Speaks to me. Falling out of the coal black hills of Pike County Kentucky. This is the true American voice.
All time favorite song, been my favorite for almost 8 years. Always come back to you two. Love you so much
one of a kind voice. try to find a voice like him. soo impossible. r.i.p. gent.
Bro im sooooo sad. I just discovered them... rip man. And thank you for giving the world your voice.

it's like the good old days of clubbin'... go from one room to another listening to new stuff. i'd have stayed in brown bird's room.
I always thought the same thing lmao

Still relevant. Cheers to you for recognizing
The synchronicity of these two... powerful
I found them about 1 year after his death, didn't know he had passed at the time. I turned my dad on to their music and he was the one that ended up informing me that David lamb had passed. I feel like everyone could have benefited from more music from this great duo.
Idc how many bands it take to play with them. This will always over power all of them. Rip rest easy
The little rasps in this version just makes it that tad bit better than the recording, it's a damn crying shame that Lamb left us so soon.
Looked them up a few years ago because of Resident Alien, and I've been a huge fan of all their stuff ever since.
I work my fingers to the bone
Not a pretty little penny have I got to show
I ain’t looking for much
Just a little bit of rest by the side of the road
I lift my voice to the forces above
The Lords of labor and the Goddess of love
Ain’t I been a good, hard working
Faithful servant and son
Then the sky turns black
And it cracks with a thundering voice
Work is what you are when you’re breathing in and out
'Til your final breath falls to the floor
So swing down that sledgehammer through the wood
A little test of mind over flesh oughtta do you good
Get up off the ground
You can lay down when the day is done
And on the seventh day
You can lay in the morning sun
I want to make my home on a mountain high
Just me and my lover and the big old sky
I ain’t asking for much
Just a little bit of rest before the day that I die
I lift my voice to the forces above
The Lords of labor and the Goddess of love
Ain’t i been a good, hard working
Faithful servant and son
Then the sky turns black
And it cracks with a thundering voice
Work is what you are when you’re breathing in and out
'Til your final breath falls to the floor
So swing down that sledgehammer through the wood
A little test of mind over flesh oughtta do you good
Get up off the ground
You can lay down when the day is done
And on the seventh day
You can lay in the morning sun
This might be the best thing one UA-cam
Resident Alien brought me here too. Great song. ❤
Noo just realized he passed 😢😢😢 god both voices are just amazing ❤❤❤ thanks for the legacy 🙌
Brown Bird is on my daily playlist. Always will be.

You're goddamned right.
Steve Coiro cheers to you🍻
Could not agree more. But god what a distracting recording with all the background noise. Thought i was hallucinating for a second there.
I read ytour comment, then i search on wikipedia, then i find David Lamb is ACTUALLY DEAD, thinking about an hoiax...
I feel bad to understand that he never sing again...... :( :( :(
RIP david lamb.....
I agree this and bilgewater are great songs. just wish their album art didn't have such negative symbolism.
One of the best of all time! Talent gone way too soon! Been a fan for a long time, and will be for the rest of my life!
This is some of the best music I've ever heard ........
It hits hard we won't hear another great song from them may they RIP💖💖
Resident Alien got someone that loves music 🎉 just added this to my Playlist, thank you 😊
They were sooo good!
My newest favorite band, and wow. Terrible tragedy. Gonna buy their album now.
Rest in peace David.... death only takes the good ones early.
beautiful people. . I have been tattooing 20 odd years and never wanted my fingers tattooed. but as a tribute to Dave i would love to get (come home) on my fingers. such a beautiful sentiment. always makes me tear up. the only tattoo i would want showing in a suit.
Did you get the tattoo?
I just heard this song on Resident Alien also, and I had to know who sings it. I love it..........................
Simply fucking amazing!
I wish I could’ve seen them live
The TV Show RESIDENT ALIEN Plays BROWN BIRD MUSIC..That Is how I discovered this AWESOME MUSIC
RIP. Man my heart is broken. 😥
I love this song!
still being missed thank you both
I like how it goes quiet for them around halfway through
67k views? what the heck....awesome song
Always listening to this music so much talent
much love to brown bird.
RIP. Amazing talent. Cool ass music.
So very good! So sad that I found you guys after he was taking!
Met the woman she was nice. Didn't know at the time what she was going through.
awesome
This is thrilling!
Bonito tema
Man that’s a cool video love the acoustics in that room very cool👍🏻
The other band in the background is like ghostly voices of workers long gone. All it needed was the ring of a sledgehammer. It was probably distracting for them while playing, but it's eerily beautiful to listen to it now.
❤❤❤❤❤
RIP to a badass man!
Yes!!
love it
I wish 😢
Is there anyway to take out the bands in the background? This is such a excellent performance except for that one thing.
I kinda like it, its like the commotion of spirits as they sing
fave
RIP David
I only discovered them because of Resident Alien. Very unique
Is that the growlers i hear in the background? Two of my favorite bands at once lol
uuuuu! This is music!
I wish I could eat them up. I want them inside. A treasure.
From Resident Alien came I. 😊
Great song and two amazing artists but I can't stop cracking up because one cameraman obviously has ass on his mind (::
Fingerbone Bill’d be prouder than Mary
I want to listen to this song when I'm on my death bed
Rip
Hey dad, its Olivia!
I feel like MoganEve had to concentrate SO HARD to play while other bands were playing and was mildly flustered during this performance.
The other music blaring in the background! Wtf?! Rude!
If you have a good headset, you can hear a completely different band playing in the background. Kind of ruins the whole performance =/
There exists a Human Rights Watch report on Child Labor titled "Finger to the Bone" that was written in 2000, and now that your appropriative song leads the Google searches, it is very hard to find. Thank you for appropriating the term, and slowing down the efforts to end child labor.
Cuz I'm sure that was what they were hoping to do when they wrote their song wow pretentious much
Besides it's fingers to the Bone not finger to the Bone - blame the internet not the band-
Hahahaha your Karen ass came all the way too youtube too complain to the manager... also to a man who's unfortunately no longer with us. Nice. "Fingers to the bone" is a common phrase and not unique to said organization you cant find on the internet... damn simpleton.
