I've been listening to this on repeat most of the night at work. It triggers some combination of nostalgia and ancestral memory that gives me chills every time I hear it. Play on, good sir. And thank you
I’ve had this tune in repeat for days man. Planning on learning it. Lyrics are insane and hit the same as the first time everytime. Great work man. Great work.
John came home from war this morning He found his wife, she wasn't there And a cold cold feeling crept through his bones When he found a note at the bottom of the stairs Said I'm in love with your brother Oh I've found a preacher I'm in love and I'm heading to the south Boy you were fine but I've changed my mind I'm boarding the next train out of town John flew into a rage like thunder He brought his fist down and he cracked the floor He thought he broke bone the way he screamed and he roared And he headed right back out the door Said I'm going to find my brother God damn this preached And I'm going to put him underneath a stone So when the oak trees are so tall the mountains feels small They'll remember the wrath of my storm John crashed in with his pistol crying In the morning just before the dawn He took out his knife and he carved out the light Of a future in the eyes of the lord Strung him up high silhouetted in the sky Let the ravens pick him to the bone When the law man came by he turned down his eyes Not to gaze upon the brother of John The station platform was empty and quiet She waited for a man who'd never show When the noon day sun was high and cracking The ground she felt a lump rise in her throat John swept from behind put a gun on her side Said baby you were why I came home I won't take your life but I want to look into your eyes When you see I killed the man that you love
Been telling everyone I can about you since I found your music. Keep it up man. Great sound and that tenor guitar slaps harder than a drunk stepdad 🤙

John came home from war this morning
He found his wife, she wasn't there
And a cold cold feeling crept through his bones
When he found a note at the bottom of the stairs
Said I'm in love with your brother Oh I've found a preacher
I'm in love and I'm heading to the south
Boy you were fine but I've changed my mind
I'm boarding the next train out of town
John flew into a rage like thunder
He brought his fist down and he cracked the floor
He thought he broke bone the way he screamed and he roared
And he headed right back out the door
Said I'm going to find my brother God damn this preached
And I'm going to put him underneath a stone
So when the oak trees are so tall the mountains feels small
They'll remember the wrath of my storm
John crashed in with his pistol crying
In the morning just before the dawn
He took out his knife and he carved out the light
Of a future in the eyes of the lord
Strung him up high silhouetted in the sky
Let the ravens pick him to the bone
When the law man came by he turned down his eyes
Not to gaze upon the brother of John
The station platform was empty and quiet
She waited for a man who'd never show
When the noon day sun was high and cracking
The ground she felt a lump rise in her throat
John swept from behind put a gun on her side
Said baby you were why I came home
I won't take your life but I want to look into your eyes
When you see I killed the man that you love
Absolutely brilliant
Sounds like a song that could have been on the Harry Smith Anthology of American Folk Music. Well done.
Ugh that would have been sweet
Love it! Beautifully written
Just love your sound, man. Thanks for this.
This is so incredibly good. Instant favorite
You sound completely different than you did years ago, but I love it!
Yeah its been a really long journey finding my voice
Titok brought me here
Sad thing is that the reason he fought in the war was probably to see his wife again…
