Matt Heckler, "Blue Eyes Dancing," ft. Benjamin Tod // GemsOnVHS™
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 жов 2024
- In a very special edition here, we find Matt Heckler (formerly of Deep Chatham) teaming up with Benjamin Tod (of Lost Dog street band) to play a tune of Matt's on the porch. Not just any porch, however. This is the house where Guy Clark used to live, and later Townes Van Zandt. Some parts of Heartworn Highways were filmed here. Benjamin is friends with Townes daughter, and filming on that porch just felt dang right.
Matt himself is one of those artists who can hold an entire room with a solo performance. His voice reaches and booms, and his fiddle playing accompanies that voice perfectly fine. The way he holds his fiddle is also of interest - what some may call the "incorrect" or unorthodox way. Doing things really well the wrong way is something we encourage here, for sure, and old time has a long tradition of it. Here's an excerpt from a great article on chest level playing -
"There are two striking habits that appear among a considerable number of old-time fiddlers: their tendency to hold the fiddle against their chest rather than the classical way, and their tendency to hold the bow in all sort of weird ways, often gripping it away from the frog. For a classically trained violinist the image of someone playing this way is alien. However, these habits among old-time fiddlers should not be seen as restricting or simply wrong. I believe they are deeply meaningful and rooted in legitimate stylistic and musical aspirations."

THIS is what the world now needs more of
what the world, needs now, is love, sweet love.
GemsOnVHS very true
J.D Lawhon so. Fuxking. Good.
Damn right
Damn right
Benjamin Todd is so humble “I fell in love with his music, I guess he liked mine”
The two of them are the most down to earth guys I have ever had the privilege of talking to
I've lived in a city for a long time now. This song makes me want to move back home, to the mountains. Music takes you where words cannot. Thanks for the amazing music.
Where ya from originally
Amen brother, mountains is our only friends, the older I get the more accurate it gets
Man I know. I want to go back to the farm I grew up on in Alabama. Money social status luxury it's over rated boys. Bout had my feel of it. However my children lol and wife. Nah it's the
Cement hell for me now. After they get out of school be on the next thing to LA. Lower Alabama. I want to float down the Alabama and Tombigbee again about midnight with jugs catching yellowcat bugs eating you alive cricket rock band blaring not one human sound or light for miles. See a kids face bloodied 3rd weekend in Nov there Daddy re telling the story over and over with pride. Or hear some beagles hot on a cane cutter, ok thunder chicken gobbling his head off before daylight about this time of year. Cold beer crawfish dirt roads cutting a switch and War Eagle!! The greatest times of my life and I just wanted out. Now I just want to be back in the land of cotton.
When a musician sounds even better live and raw than they do in a studio, you realize the pure genius of their talent.
Matt and Ben are exactly that.
Nick shoulders is the same way
@Chauncey Bilton no one cares except maybe your gf
@Chauncey Bilton pretty weird man
Is this real music!!!???
The fiddle player has really let herself go... Come on, I'm just kidding! Great tune and great talent from Gems, as usual!
cocaines a helluva drug
Mattshley Maeckler
I'd smash.
LMAO
I laughed really hard at this, thanks pal. :)
You know it’s good when you’ve only got a fiddle and a guitar and it sounds like a full band
need the violin back in here
Don't forget to give props to the sound engineers!
Ain’t that the truth
Fiddle paired with banjo or guitar creates a sound bigger than the sum of their parts.
@@zachb8012Fiddle and banjo are the two loudest of the traditional bluegrass instruments.
Got stoned and here I am
I did the same thing an now I‘m here 3 times I‘m here.
Today for the first time with legal weed 😃
Two years later and im here cause im.stoned heard a bunch of Benjamin now I'm going for the one I haven't heard
Welcome, wontcha stay a while
We all did😂
Samsies
Adore this...one of my daily listens. 💗 As a punk rocker it took me years to embrace my Appalachian roots but now I love this kind of music now
Same bro, started off with Black Flag and Minor Threat to Matt Heckler and other bluegrass artists
I'll chime in as the third. I love bands like social d, alkaline trio, and no use for a name but find these boys got it too
I drove up my local mountain with a beloved friend and a couple beers I remember playing this song breathing in the fresh air walking thru a small meadow and the forest. Perfect song to a perfect moment live life and love each other people
1luvcuzzin🧡
I've been listening to Ben for YEARS. I just found this/Matt yesterday. I cannot stop listening...
After a 10 hour day in the sun. This is a blissfull breeze
I know the feeling. Check out Tom Proudfit channel
The talent of these 2 are off the charts!
Every time I hear the Lost Dog SB.. I go back to my days in Martin County and Inez when I had to cross the river between Beauty and Lovely on that one lane bridge to go to work at the mine in Mingo up Marrow Bone. It was around 75.. 76.. I was always stoned.. and there was a tavern where this old girl made cherry pies. I'd just buy me a whole pie and listen to them hill jacks play while I ate. It was a scream and the corn liquor was the best you ever had. They say when you die.. you go back to the times when you were the happiest. If that's true.. I'll be back up that holler again. Thank yee fellers.
Absolutely. I’m from Inez as well and i couldn’t have said it better myself
Yeah I hear ya keep on keeping on
I think you might have a song in that paragraph Snuffy or at least part of one.
@@eddiepeet492
Thats what I'm a thinkin !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Especially this part.............
"They say when you die.. you go back to the times when you were the happiest. If that's true.. I'll be back up that holler again"
Perfect.
My brother passed five months ago, he introduced me to this song... I'm so happy to have it as a sort of theme song for our last few months together. It's beautiful
💜
That's beautiful brotha
We go hard in the hills
He's forever at your back.. but don't forget life is at your front
Gems On VHS is the new Alan Lomax. Thank you all so much for what you are doing for the music of our generation.
thank you buddy. that's high praise.
Accurate!
@@GemsOnVHSjust need to be more prolific like he was! Your channel saved my life when I got sober months before the pandemic and I had to adapt to a series of huge upheavals, even beyond my quitting and society totally restructuring. Can't possibly thank you enough for introducing me to both of these artists, without whom I very well may have given up in 2020 and not lived to have seen this day.
Benjamin always give me hope. Theres something about that guy
I know that shit crazy maybe he's a angel lol he's on every play list I got check out (life ain't sweet )
Word.
Hes awesome I had the privilege to meet and hangout with him in Charlotte saw lost dog and a couple other bands play then after the show all the bands got together and went to a shed and they all played together all night me and 2 of my friends were the only ones there listening to them all was probably 12 to 15 people in there playing all together it was a really amazing night
@@charliejenkins7314 lucky man you are, Charlie Jenkins.
Have you looked into his back story? He’s been saved by music and people he’s had the good fortune of stumbling upon. It’s pretty inspiring what he’s been through to still end up where he is now.
Everything goes away when I listen to this, puts me in a place I can't describe... Totally magical, I've heard it 100rd times. Never changes the feelings of hearing it.
At work welding in Barnesville Ohio. It's hot n muggy here so ol Ben t'z music goes right along with my day, cheers😎
This is my all time favorite recording gems has ever brought us. Thank you so much for this Anthony Ben and Matt!
This song is a prayer answered to me. Asking God to show me how to live and how to ease my pain that I've carried for so long. Watching these 2 men share there passion for music has inspired me to let people back in my life.
Real damn music... vibrates the bones of my very soul. I play clawhammer banjo and jam along to this song every day. Thank you Ben, Matt and GemsOnVHS! You all are bringing more good to this world than you could Imagine, keep following your spirits, and keep playing your hearts out for the world to hear!
What are the chords they sound like bm (I might be confusing it with dm right now I had a few drinks) d and a?
After realizing I wrote d definitely bm lol
This has quickly became one of my all time favorite songs.
Mine too
Your a hottie
@@christopherchimp9615 thank you
You need to hear some new songs
You can copy and paste this on all this channels videos and you'd be right
Don't leave me hangin
From a willow tree
Honey cut me down
Cause I cant breath
I'm up the mountain
I ain't coming down
No you wont see me
Around your town
I'm high and lonesome
I'm runnin dry
I'm givin up
On gettin by
So come home honey
Don't ya make me beg
Take out your fiddle
Tune up and play
And I know its hard
When the sun goes down
To be alone
On shaky ground
Go get some matches
And kerosene
We'll burn it down, honey
Run out and leave
I'll bleed out slowly
In my Sunday vest
When you come around
In that Sunday dress
With your blue eyes dancin
Drawin me in
And sideways glancin
Honey where've you been
I know its hard
When the sun goes down
To be alone
On shaky ground
Go get some matches
And kerosene
We'll burn it down, honey
Run out and leave
Don't leave me hangin
From a willow tree
Honey cut me down
Cause I cant breath
I'm up the mountain
I ain't coming down
No you wont see me
Around your town
I know its hard
When the sun goes down
To be alone
On shaky ground
Go get some matches
And kerosene
We'll burn it down, honey
Run out and leave
I know its hard
When the sun goes down
To be alone
On shaky ground
Go get some matches
And kerosene
We'll burn it down, honey
Run out and leave
Years later and after owning this song on vinyl I still come back for this version. Goddamn, it's a fkn beauty! I think it might be an All Time Favourite.
Matt Heckler's got a great voice! Amazing. Not that Benjamin Tod isn't also fantastic. In fact, it is weird to hear him be backing vocals seeing as how he's so great a singer.
I'm into metal but stangely, really digging this folk music.
Folk and blues is the original metal ! Gotta love it haha
Amazing performer, one of the few people that sounds even better live. The recording doesn’t do his voice justice, he has an incredible bellowing sound. That and seeing Matt playing the fiddle live is a real show
I hope we can see some more of him in the future! Matt playing with Benjamin sounds so natural.
more of them both is coming down the line
Hell Yea!
I really hope so
I keep humming this song out of the blue and I have to keep coming back here every few months.. Matt Heckler is becoming a favorite..love his style. Excited for his new album on itunes.
This was the song my wife son and I walked out of our wedding to!
Always find myself coming back to this version. Helps a guy stay out of the darkness. God bless
Most of the friends that I have now, I disliked when I first met them.
Still pissed me off when he said he didn’t like Ben at first
These guys are bad ass just pure sound is awsome definitely has to be appreciated.
I drank 16 beers
I finally got to see both you guys in Nashville. I even got to smoke a cigarette with Matt after he played. Please y'all gotta keep this up. This is a revival of what music should be.
For 20 years I've listened to strictly electronic based music. Then, divorce, stolen dogs etc. September Doves was my first intro to back REAL music, with real and honest lyrics. He prolly won't read this, But f it, Thank You Benjamin. Your pen saved me.
No matter how rubbish my day has been I can sit down with a whiskey, listen to gem and it all just melts away. Music is like magic!!! Love it!!
September doves is a hell of a song
All music that moves your soul is real, be it top 40 or eclectic, letting the music grip, tame and guide your soul is the best of lifes dirty pleasures.
I listen to everything, I find my moods arnt content with one type of anything...but living in blueridge, this shit speaks to my soul
Welcome back.
I can’t stop listening to this ❤️
same bud!
“What’ll it be fellas, mustard or ketchup?”
Whiskey
The editing on this video is the best part. The way it comes together with the music and you can tell they had a good time. Magical

What a crazy story about the porch. I came back to this tonight. Matts music is so healing to me. Goodness. Thank you.
that fiddle is just dudes third arm at this point
Gems has some of the most amazing talent on UA-cam, always on in my home
Don't leave me hanging from the willow tree
Honey cut me down cos I can't breathe
I'm up the mountain ain't coming down
No you won't see me around your town
I'm high and lonesome I'm running dry
I've given up on getting by
So come home honey don't you make me beg
Take out your fiddle tune up an play
And I know its hard when the sun gos down
To be alone on shaking grounds
Go get some matches and kerosene we'll burn it down honey
Burn out and leave
I'll bleed out slow my Sunday vest
You come around in Sunday dress
Your blue eyes dancing drag me in
Sideways glances honey where u been
And I know its hard when the sun gos down
To be alone on shaking grounds
Go get some matches and kerosene we'll burn it down honey
Burn out and leave
Don't leave me hanging from the willow tree
Honey cut me down cos I can't breathe
I'm up the mountain ain't coming down
No you won't see me around your town
And I know its hard when the sun gos down
To be alone on shaking grounds
Go get some matches and kerosene we'll burn it down honey
Burn out and leave....(x2)....
billy bong thanks so much, was waiting for somebody to find the words. I’ll get it up on UltimateGuitar with chords now
I was sitting here listening trying to figure out the cords by ear. First I thought it was in G straight to Am. But if you listen to the changes it sounds like rhythm in the cord of C. C then Em I believe then bounces between G and C with the occasional F toward the end of the verse. Not had a chance to try and play it yet but I feel like that should be pretty close. Could also be an Am instead of Em. Ben playing this definitely gives it incredible drive. Ben is a Hell of a rhythm player. As well as Matt sawing the shit outta that fiddle!

I think is Sunday best, not vest
THIS......this right here, it's what my soul needed! I'm hooked!
Bring back the Appalachian south.
Hell yeah
@@traditionalfascists3303 it never went nowhere. been here all along
Bring it back? You think it left? Son, Appalachia will never die. Promise
New Jersey here and I still am introducing many people about your music Lost dog.
Saw Matt open for Lost Dog in Louisville KY and was blown away. Saw this video and was blown away. This man is music.
This should get 600 million views
Maybe it's because these guys have a punk/metal background which is where most of my roots are in terms of what influenced me musically in my younger years, and so they truly know and appreciate the power that can come from simplicity, but either way, this song feels so powerful despite it literally being a 6-1-5-1 progression THE ENTIRE WAY THROUGH. so simple yet it rocks me even after the 100th time listening. well done Matt
I don’t think it was simple! Nothing simple about it!!
Know wat you mean ithought same first hearing this..its bootn it
Got the pleasure to play some music with matt in Tennessee awhile back. Always amazing
I've literally listened to this 100 times today alone. And the day ain't over.
Camron Fox so about 346 times you could listen to this in a day 😀
That’s my boy!
Of course, another song on gemsvhs that rips my soul apart and puts it back together😂
hot off the press! great song! love the description! Rest in Peace Guy Clark and Townes Van Zandt!
Still can't believe I got to see Matt and LDSB play live the other day. Best live show I have had the honor of attending! Keep it up!
hey folks, we're on instagram. @gemsonvhs and @lostdogstreetband
GemsOnVHS I believe I owe you a debt of gratitude. Your channel has introduced me to more amazing, heartfelt, incredible artists than I could have ever asked for. Thank-you so much, truly, for all of the amazing music you have shared.
Thanks for all this great music GemsOnVHS. I found a lost dog video of yours called green eyed gal. Been addicted to lost dog and your channel since. Has prolly saved my life to be serious. But anyways, thanks a lot man. It's appriciated wholeheartedly.
shit thanks panther
thanks buddy, not quite a genius but we definitely know good music when we hear it.. cheers, love the UK and Ireland, can't wait to go back.
GemsOnVHS how the hell can I meet Benjamin Todd like for real he has changed my life
Good music is simple in a complex way
Who in the hell gave this a thumbs down?! This is beautiful
RHEC618 they just missed the like button bro😂
@Heather Cremins umm whats a lil yachty ....lol
Probably had their phone upside down.
People with no Soul that’s who.
Lit a joint, got a bottle of whiskey, layd on my floor and listened to this on repeat. Love it
The guy on the fiddle is killing it. Love Benjamin Tod too
Her name is Ashley Mae. She doesn't look the same anymore though...
She goes by Matt now.
Evan Daniels how brave of her
oh you buggers, you made me spit coffee all over my laptop now...!! lol..
It's dripping down the screen like the tears of laughter running down my cheeks...
Matt Heckler is so good man..
Amazing
The world needs more music like this, stuff you can actually feel in your bones. Much respect!
You two should run for president, either way its a win.
Chords: B-D-A-D
Lyrics:
Don't leave me hanging
From the willow tree
Honey cut me down
Cause I can't breath
Climb up the mountain
I ain't coming down
No you won't see me
Around your town
I'm high and lonesome
and I'm running dry
Not giving up
On getting by
So come on honey
Won't you make me beg
Take out your fiddle
Tune up and play
Cause I know it's hard
When the sun goes down
To be alone
On shaking grounds
We'll get some matches
And kerosene
We'll burn it down honey
Burn out and leave
I'll bleed out slowly
In my Sunday vest
When you come around
In that Sunday Dress
Your blue eyes dancing
Drawing me in
With sideways glances
Honey where you been
I know it's hard
When the sun goes down
To be alone
On shaking grounds
We'll get some matches
And kerosene
We'll burn it down honey
Burn out and leave
I know it's hard
When the sun goes down
To be alone
On shaking grounds
We'll get some matches
And kerosene
We'll burn it down honey
Burn out and leave
Thanks for the chords
I think its "I've given up on getting by"
Thank you
The B is a minor cord. Ben plays with a capo on second fret in C. So from there the cords are C, Am, C, then G. the order and changes change a bit in the chorus. I've been obsessed with this song for over a month now, so I had to sit by the fire and figure it out one night. Good luck trying to make it sound as good as these guys. Ben is a Hell of a rhythm picker. And Matt is matt! Have fun trying tho
Ya I just try to do a 'cover' with my own rhythm cause he's too good! thanks for the chords
Such great song
I wish Matt would put his stuff online. I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
same. it's a work in progress - i'm talking to him about getting his new stuff out.
His new album just released today on Bandcamp
Know it's an old comment, but if you didn't see it's even on Spotify now!
Oh my god Matt! So happy that dude is doing well! Miss that man!

I've given up, on gettin' by

I know its hard when the sun goes down
To be alone, on shaky grounds

Your blue eyes dancing, drawin' me in

Matt Heckler was a great live act. He opened for Lost dog in SD-CA last year!
This should be on Spotify. Real crime.
A true musician is meant to be heard. Raw and so is this style of music
I never new Frankie Boyle could play an instrument, is their no end to he's talent
this guy hasnt said cunt enough to be Frankie
@@lumpisan it's like frankie boyle and a hill billy Jeremy Renner having a jam
I knew he reminded me of someone 🤣
Beautiful song, guys. 👏👏👏

Damn Anthony I remember when you were playing guitar on the street in Nashville and you played wagon wheel for me and my lady that night now youre hanging out with big timers ! Thats outstanding.
Hope this means more Benjamin Tod videos to come soon too? This is brilliant ❤️👌
till one of us die yeah!
GemsOnVHS fuck yes, I can die happy now (after one of you two preferably) 😂 seriously listen to your channel every. single. day, keep killing it.
You can feel it like it's tangible. Music in it's purest form.
I found out about Benjamin Todd because my brothers buddy was at a alcohol store and ran into him in there and ever since I’ve been listening to this guy.
I get to see these two tonight ❤️😭 blesssss
There is another version of this song, that Katie-Belle Van Zandt filmed, with Matt sitting on the hood of the red truck that is visible for quick moment in the beginning of this film...
I am filmed guessing at the same place, different time....there are far more leaves on the trees in this film...
What a place steeped in Outlaw Folk Music history
.. Absolutely fitting to have these two team up for a song there...
I am hoping maybe you have recorded one of Ben's songs that they sang this day , still to be released??
please say it's so... please..
damn i havent seen that video lol. sometimes i swear you know more about what im doing than i do. yeah we have one of bens coming along soon!
ua-cam.com/video/_UQUC7MyEOc/v-deo.html this one!!
That's the one..
haha.. No No.. You are the Sensai, I am but the Grasshopper.
Sometimes I get a little self conscious about leaving long comments on all of your videos....but I just can't help it..
And believe me when I tell you that each long comment is the abridged and edited version.
I have become quite obsessed with listening to as much of this music as possible and learning about the artists and the history of this music.. I have found your channel to a be a very important avenue through the different suburbs of 'Americana town'. Definitely one the most most happening avenues through the darker side of town to be sure!!
Or maybe to expand on the theme, it is an avenue through an outlying region, in the woody hills, where folk live in shacks, punks play banjos and sing about dope sickness and unrequited love, while rockin' in a red chair drinking mash and smokin' something in a pipe.
there we go, doing it again, long comments... I just can't help myself...
Thanks for all your good work Anthony... If the Australian Dollar was actually worth anything I would willingly and lovingly make a contribution to the channel..
As it stands however, I am time wealthy but coin poor, and any dollar I gave would only be worth 70 cents to you.
SO my contribution at moment will just have to be my 2 cents worth of comments...!!
[that's 1.4 cents after conversion to USD though]
Looking forward to the aforementioned track with gleeful anticipation.
Appalachia is where it's at, Ill never leave my outlaw mountains. People are just different but in a really great old way.
Matt! You did amazing! Bend oregon. Wish i could of talked to all of you after the show!
Don’t leave me hanging, from a willow tree…
Honey cut me down, ‘cus I can’t breathe!
I’m up the mountain, ain’t coming down.
No you won’t see me around your town.
I’m hng’ lonesome, ’ I’m cut’n dry.
I’ve given up on gettin’ by.
So come home honey, don’tcha make me beg
Take out your pedal and play??????
I know it’s hard when the sun goes down,
to be alone on shaky ground.
Go get some matches and kerosene,
We’ll burn it down, run out and leave.
I'll bleed out slowly my Sunday best
you come at in that Sunday dress
Your blue eyes dancing drying the air
Sideways glancing honey where you been
I know it’s hard when the sun goes down,
to be alone on shaky ground.
Go get some matches and kerosene,
We’ll burn it down, run out and leave.
Don't leave me hanging from the willow tree
I think he says, "take out your pedal, tune up and play"
@@TremendousSax - The lyric you all are looking for is, "Take out your fiddle, tune up, and play!"
*shaking grounds
Drawing me in, not drying the air
Amazing!!!! One of the best recordings on here
Ben knows Townes daughter... I already knew Ben was legendary. But man that just adds some more cool points on top. Townes was the best!!!
I hope all that hear this feel the beauty deep down inside their souls. We are quite magical beings if I were to guess about this beautiful realm, 1luv2all. Never give up. No matter what's thrown your way. 🧡
I'd honestly have given a years salary to have been on that porch for this entire day.
Great job Guys feels good to hear
More Matt Heckler please! This guy opened for Lost Dog in Chicago a while back and I’ve been yearning to hear more by this man.
more on the way i promise.
@@GemsOnVHSThank you for all the videos you put out, I have found so much to relate to. How does a hobo, like myself, work with your productions?( recording and hanging out?) I got pitch?

My late wife and I wrote it about our homeless friends in Ft. Collins Colorado. It's about seeing your street family in the morning and knowing everyone made it through to the next day.
Please let me know what you think.
When th3 fuck was lost dog in chicago im gonna shoot myself in the foot.
They have a show coming up in Chicago next month at Reggie’s!
Is there a way to buy Matt Heckler's stuff? I'm kicking myself for only buying one of his albums at Lost Dog's most recent concert!
So good!!!
Fcking love america. Thank god for this 🔥
this is how it is in canada too
The US is still the source of the best music in every genre. Britain had it going on for a while, but those days are over.
These guy so need to realise an album together
Wow there are some really good vibes.
I swear I watch this video twice a week
update: I still watch it twice a week
I've loved music like this all my life, and I'm over 50.I still remember when I purchased my first Doc Watson record and attended my first bluegrass feastival. The last few years this music has really caught on with a lot of people. It's refreshing when what's on the radio and the pop charts, and even worse what's on country radio stations, is really awful.
Amazing, thank you
I can't stop playing this. Its practically been on repeat. Both Ben and Matt are so easy to listen to. 👌 Give us more guys!
Same. I've been listening to this(and other stuff from Matt and from Lost Dog street band) for almost two years now, lol.
@@sharkydog6306 Same!!! And it doesn't get old, I keep coming back.
Happy thanksgiving. Enjoy the day with your friends and family!
Man ran across this song two weeks ago on UA-cam music and when im down and feeling blue I throw this on repeat and ill be dance and smiling by the third time
So good!!
