LYRICS:
Redemption Blues (Gavin Dunne 2011)
My time is drawing thinner
I'm just a tired old sinner
No chips left on this shoulder
No pride in growing older
But when your borrowed time is through...
I'll be with you
Redemption blues
No man can truly outlast
All the mistakes of his past
There's no haven here for me
That's safe from my memories
But when your borrowed time is through...
I'll be with you
Redemption blues
I'll be with you
Redemption blues
And justice ain't no lady
She's a twisted, battered whore
She's laying bruised and naked
On a bloodstained wooden floor
Our days are over
Times have changed around these parts
There ain't no more cowboys
Only men with violent hearts
Redemption blues
(My time is drawing thinner)
(I'm just a tired old sinner)
Been wanting to remake this one for a while - the upcoming release of Red Dead 2 was a perfect excuse :) I think it really shows what a difference 7 years of experience can make!

Rock!!
Miracle, will you make another song when rdr2 launches? Or is the remaster of this already masterpiece it?
Dunno, have to play it & see if I get inspired!
omg, man, this is my favorite song from you! Thank you! You da man!!
miracleofsound why not just make a new version, besides this?
@Mace-Inator maaaybe because October 26 is nearby? ;)
No one gives uncle enough credit. He supported Arthur through thick and thin, repeatedly stood up to Dutch and Micah, helped John build his house and get his family back, and he gave his life for John's family. Uncle is awesome
one of my favorite camp interactions in RDR2 is Uncle calling out Micah for harassing Arthur because of his TB. Uncle really is a super underrated character. As John says, "he's useful, in a useless sorta way."
Actually there is a pretty solid theory that uncle is red harlow from red dead revolver
And all this while suffering from lumbago
That's certainly a way of putting it.
Now we need a red dead redemption 3 where we see the kind of man Uncle was before he grew old and got the Lumbago.
"Justice ain't no lady. She's a twisted, battered whore."
Something about this line has always affected me.
Thank you Gav for everything that you create!
Agreed. It’s remarkably both blunt and poignant
"Contains visual spoilers for red dead redemption"
*lowers hat in preperation*
Its a terrible day for rain...
But it’s not raining....
Yeah, hadn't bin rain fer weeks nah, ya think the heats got to em?
Ahad Siddiqui Yes... it is.
@@ahatsquiddy Devils never cry...
@@TheAkrillion Random Dmc reference, but I dig it.
I don't think any song lyric will ever hit me like "There ain't no more cowboys/Only men with violent hearts" continually does.
“Redemption Blues can’t be improved”
Gavin Dunne; “Hold my spittoon.”
Imo the original is better
I think the main difference is that this one sound “cleaner”. The old one sounded simpler instead, which works well with this song, but this version is good in its own way. They’re both good in different ways. Not as drastic as New Black Gold though.
Red dead redemption can’t be improved
Rockstar: hold my spittoon
And the freakin' godly New Black Gold 2013.
we found gavin, it's this guy
*Arthur:* There are no more cowboys...
*John:* ...Only men with violent hearts.
Perfectly signifies how the Wild West is no more.
Forgive me for startling you, sir. I have a message for you. My name is Jack Marston; you knew my father.
did anyone else also kill that guys wife and friend?
Yeah i did it. But without any pleasure
Well, you know u didnt have to kill his wife and brother, dont you? ^^
I had to. But it's a cold blood murder without any sense of justice. You took mines i take yours. But i'm not happy about it.
My name os Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die
This was the first song I picked up by ear. Myself and my friend were sitting down listening to your music and he just asked out of the blue of I could play anything of yours, so I started strumming the opening chords and picked up the intro riff.
That friend passed away in June of last year. He would have loved to hear this.
Thank you so much.
I hope you are ok your friend is resting peacefully
Aw man, rest in piece
So stoked to hear an updated version of this song. It was totally the one that made me a Gav fan all the way back when I first heard it.
This is still one of my favorites of all time not just from Gav.
+1 When I first hear it it was a revelation.
This and nord mead got me hooked
I remember hearing this song years ago, and now I realize that you have been a very important part of my life. Gav Thank you so much for all these years, cheering my life with your songs, I really appreciate it.
Thank you for listening :)
OMG It's been 7 years, but this song is still one of the best! It gives me a nostalgic chills. Great job, Gavin, thank you!
It's been 5
Honestly, at first I didn't hear a real difference, but then I went back to the original and listened to them back to back, and compared single parts of the songs, and the updated intro alone already blew my mind. It's astonishing, how much difference slight nuances and details can make. The new versions feels alot more like the soundtrack of a western movie, what you were obviously going for. And your voice sounds way nicer too, more refined.
Don't get me wrong, I liked the song before, but the new version is just clearly better in any possible way. I think I didn't catch it at first, because it felt a bit like playing an HD Remaster of an old game. It looks and sounds and feels just like the original stayed in you memory, but if you go back and play that, you'll realise how bad the grafics were, and how clunky everything was.
You definitly honed your skills in the last seven years!
I totally get where you're coming from - it's crazy the difference that 7 years of experience (and some better gear) can make :)
Wow man, this was incredible. I'm always impressed with your ability to cut right into the heart of a game or character. John marston was no different. You didn't make it about revenge or violence, It's all about Marston trying to be a better man. An excellent song, from an excellent artist, for an excellent game.
This song makes you feel so many emotions. It’s sad, hopeful, somber, lonely, and strangely uplifting and depressing at the same time. One of the few songs I’d consider truly perfect, just like the game it’s based on.
My favorite line from this, aside from “There ain’t no more cowboys/Only men with violent hearts” has go to be “I’ll be with you.”
I personally feel as if it’s Arthur saying it to John. Even if he never mentions it, John’s always been thinking about his brother, the man who saved his and his family’s life. And so the last thing John says to Abigail is the same thing Arthur said to him; words he’s never been able to forget.
(And before you reply to this, other commenters. Yes, I know Arthur wasn’t even an idea when they made RDR1. It’s just how I feel about it)
This song is so sad and uplifting and beautiful and kind of romantic and... How can you fit in so many emotions and feelings into one song?! You're amazing! :D
We played and watched the end of John Marston. Soon we'll watch and play to his beginning.
I have never been this early to a song before, rock on, brother!
This song perfectly captures what it's like to feel like John Marson. Old and wanting nothing other than peace. Peace with himself and peace with his family.
It's been 7 years since I follow you. Hearing this song again updated brings tears to my eyes. I love your work from Brazil, Gav!!!
Thanks for stickin around!
Redemption Blues was my long time depression song. Great to see remake.
Good luck to ya mate
Hang in there mate. We're all pullin' for ya.
@@teamcybr8375 never say to a man with depresion ,,hang in there"
@@unclechair2208 You're not funny. Nor are you clever.
@@unclechair2208i came from the futture just to say ya aint funny sir. 😅😅😅😅
Struggling with a huge assignment about the French Revolution.. You saved my day, good sir!
Bringing back the classics. I love it
3:38 - The moment John finally fulfilled his debts to Arthur Morgan
It's crazy how you are able to capture the emotions and atmosphere of a game and transcribe them. It really is crazy.
And seven years later, this song still gives me chills. Cracking job on this one, Gav.
Oh no the memories here they come. Thankyou so much for this I found you with the old redemption blues so its lovely to hear a remaster
You're the only artist that I know of that cares so much about perfection in every sound. Thanks for the remake! Heartbreaking as always
This is so lovely,the old one was a gem but you've gone and refined it even more lad! This is why music is so important. Gives me chills just like before.
Aaaaand now I'm crying. Thanks for this amazing reamake.
You know the biggest tragedy in life is that we'll never have 5 Gavins performing in the same band. That would probably make the world explode
His heart too
One game i wish i was older when i played. My understanding and ability to appreciate some of its finer points were lost on my early high school self.
Dammit you interrupted me listening to your music
With.... your music
One of the few musicians I know that can do that. :)
I absolutely love you
Redemption Blues will always hold a special place in my heart because it played at the ond the battle against the last boss of the story in Monster Hunter World when I was listening to a Spotify Playlist while playing.
I've benn waiting for this remake for years. Great job, man!
>be me
>sees this in my notifications
>immediately clicks into it and gives it a like
>listens to it and gets constant chills
Knowing uncle in rdr2 and seeing him die in rdr makes it much sadder, I feel very bad for him. He was such a good and supporting man, he did a great sacrifice for John and his family, rest in peace.
My god yes this is my favourite song of yours and I'm so happy you remade it. Can't wait for your song for RDR2.
The red dead redemption games are legitimately some of the best games ever made
This was the first MoS song I found WAAAAAAAAYYYYY back. Feels good man
A beautiful tribute to the original RDR and a brilliant precursor to RDR2. Your pacing and lyrics are absolutely brilliant!
Thank you very much :)
Both the Red Dead "Redemption" games have a specific theme- change. Both games are about the ever changing world. Don't take nothing for granted. And remember, we've all gotta pay the price for our actions someday, but it really is never too late to do the right thing. So, don't give up, stay determined and do a loving act.
In memory of the Van Der Linde gang, especially John Marston & Arthur Morgan.
Rest in Peace. ♡
In regards to the last verse, that really sums up Rockstar games: the system can be just as corrupt if not more so than the criminals they prosecute. Especially since, in real life, more often than not the only fundamental difference between a successful criminal enterprise and a major successful business is whether or not you're allowed to bribe your way out of being prosecuted.
So I listened to this after your RDR2 song, which is sort of thematically appropriate, and I gotta say I LOVE the narrative throughline you carry here!! Wow!!
The two songs are such wonderfully contrasting character studies on John and Arthur, too ...
Man, I'd forgotten how much of a classic this was for me at one point in my life.
You know for the longest time I thought the original version was a part of the original soundtrack for Red Dead Redemption.
Gavin you are one hell of a musician.
Oh my God... I still remember being in middle school and listening to your original upload back on The Escapist when it first went up. I remember showing the song to my friends in school. Now we're all actual adults, and though I know in my head that I'm still technically young, I've had my own blues in the decade since then. Listening to this feels like watching it all wash over me again.
Your music means a lot to me, Gav.
Jesus Christ. We ARE adults. I'm really scared now.
Thanks for sticking around so long :)
Dang, the nostalgia is hitting harder then a Winchester. Nice work as always Gavin.
This song has eluded me for a long time among your songs. But over the last few months it has become my favorite song.
I was just thinking yesterday how excited about Read Dead Redemption 2 I am because I could absolutely see it getting the Miracle of Sound treatment. So glad to have this remaster to enjoy until then! One of my favourite songs of yours is now even better.
This sounds so much better than the original and I really like the original
MangoStarr69 i know exactly what you mean. The original was good, don't get me wrong; but this version... John Marston himself would be proud.
My favorite part was the Last minute, 💞
I always enjoy hearing the "new" versions of some of your older songs. Redemption Blues has been one of my favorites for a long time and the 2018 version does a great job of keeping everything that made the original great, but with enough tweaks to make a noticeable improvement.
Amazing song as always Gav, thanks for sharing this with us!
due your increase in Quality over the years most of the songs from level 1 fell very far down from my personal list of your best songs. redemption blues is one of the few that stayed near the top of that list even after all these years.
Your remaster just go to show how far you’ve come in the last few years. You’re truly inspiring, gav.
This is one of the first songs, that I heard from Gav and now 7 years have passed, and the song is still legendary. Great job, Gav, thank you.
One of your best songs remastered O.o
All these years later, and it's still one of the best works this channel has ever created. A true testament of skill.
Listening to this song while playing RDR2 and watching John interact with his family brought me to tears. Well done, Gavin
Wonderful remaster of one of your best tunes. I loved RDR and the original version of this song, and I feel this remastered song is much better. Nice work, makes me want to boot up RDR2 and play even more of it.
This! This is the song that sold your channel to me! I absolutely love it! And this 2018 version brings perfection to a new level! Bravo! You are awesome!
My favourite MoS song, remade with all the glory and refining availeble to the 2018 Gav, so great. ^^
After playing RDR2 almost all week, this song is just as effective for Arthur as it is for John. You did a damn good job man.
Thanks for remaking what is probably my favorite song you've ever made. You never cease to amaze!
Looking forward to what you do next.
Couldnt have picked a better time to put this out Gav. Me and my friend have grown up listening to your music since you first posted Commander Shepard, and lately we've been having a harder time than ever with life stuff. This song is one of our favorites and it means the world to hear how you took the time to remaster it. Thank you Gav, for making music that has kept myself and people I know going for years now and have woven themselves into our lives.
And here's hoping the new game is as good as the last one was. Happy trails partner, I hope to see yall on them.
I love this song. Having finally made it to the end of RDR2 I’m not ashamed to admit that putting this on while thinking about Arthur’s story brought me to tears, the song and the story both being tragic and beautiful at the same time.
Having said that I really believe you should do a song for Arthur as he is a magnificent character who deserves his own song. I’ve never connected with a character in a game so much!
Abigal: Think, John! You're going to outlast the entire gang.
John: ...
Abigal: What will you have after 4 years!
John: I'll have you.
Love that little guitar flourish you added...
What a remaster! and with that guitar solo reminiscent of old old western. Absolute perfection Gav!
I'm so exciteeeeed! Waited ages for this!
Red Dead Redemption is the kind of story that’ll make a man tear up, and this song did just that for me, so thank you sir.
OH MY GOD! I Love this song!
Of all of your early work this is the song I listen to the most, it's so perfect, it seems to cover every possible corner of determination, regret, hope & loss. I always put it on if I need to focus on something difficult or uncomfortable to help me frame my state of mind to something productive.
SO happy to see this get an update! thanks Gav. If your in the game of remaking your old music would ya think of giving 'You Died' a touch up?
Oh my god Gav. This has always been my favorite from you. Thank you.
This is one of my all-time favorites of yours, Gavin. This is an amazing update. You make me want to play RDR2 all the more, which is saying a lot.
This was one of your first songs I learned to play on the Guitar and my sister and I love singing it together.
Thank you for remaking it and remaking it awesome!
Keep Rockin' Gav! You haven't dropped a single song yet!
Glad to inspire you :)
Thank you for being my inspiration. Hell, a good 3/4ths of the songs I can play are your's!
Still one of my absolute topf avorite tracks you've ever done, Gav, and this is an even better version. Gorgeous, and bravo.
Now this, this is damn good. From all your older work, I'd say this was one of those select few songs with a certain timeless appeal, both musically and lyrically. And now you've gone and remastered it. Fantastic work!
I agree. It stands out in Level 1 IMO
Sent almost a decade back in time, just like that. A fantastic revival of one of your best songs.
Gavin your art inspired me for years - I'm so happy with this remake. Keep up the good work
I really like this version. It sounds cleaner and you can tell there's been a higher quality of mastering done. Nice one, Gav!
I have to say, I never thought you could improve on the masterpiece that is Redemption Blues.
Boy, was I wrong.
one of my favorite songs of yours, glad to see it remastered
I just started my second rdr2 play through and found both of the red dead redemption songs on your channel so good
This has been one of my favorite of your songs since I first heard it years ago and I still love both the original and this version. You are amazing, Gav. I love it and am glad to hear a great update to a great song
Love this song, so happy to see it get the remaster treatment
Awesome job Gav! You do an excellent job of keeping things balanced between your typical style with the perfect amount of Ennio Morricone.
A remaster of one of my favorite songs. Wonderful. This songs really makes you feel older.
finally finished that game the other day and now I realize you sang the "justice ain't no lady" part just like John Marston shouts most his lines, it's great it's awesome I cried a little good song all around.
OH MY GOD WAS EXPECTING THIS SINCE THE INSTAGRAM PREVIEW
THANK YOU GAV!!!
I will admit that the first version 7 years ago was really good but it never caught me as something I'd listen to a lot.
I'm not sure if it's because I've aged and become a bit more cynical, but oh boy this remake/remaster's an INSTANT hit for me. I can't get it out of my head and I'm constantly humming it.
I was too young to appreciate Red Dead's story when it originally came out, but the remake of this song and the accompanying video make me want to replay it and reexperience the story after finishing Red Dead 2!! Thanks for the remake and the masterful original version of this MoS!!
The chills i had hearing this. It’s one of my favourite songs by Miracle of Sound, and you made it so much better Gav! Thanks a lot!
Oh my god
This one gives me chills.
That small "western" guitar riff in the intro and in chorus is so fitting! As if it always have been there, in the original, but on the back of my mind, and now it has come to being hearable.
Idk :) Big love to you, Gav. You do create magnificent music & songs.
Yeah I love those Ennio Morricone style guitars - when I first made the song though I didn't have the tools, gear or knowledge of how to make that sound. 7 years changed a lot of things :D
didn't think you could possibly outdo the original but you completely proved me wrong; this is fucking amazing
I was excited when I saw you talking about it on Twitter and I'm glad you did so good with this song
Awe man i forgot how much i love this song! And this sounds so clean and great! The mix of music, visuals, and highschool nostalgia made my eyes rain a little
I cannot believe it has been seven years since I have heard this song holy shit... great work as usual! 💕 Thanks for bringing us such wonderful work over these years :)
Ah, the song that introduced me to your work all those years ago. Beautiful.
The very first song I've ever heard from you was the original and this is by far my favorite of your works, amazing job gav!
I like the reuse of the words "There ain't no more cowboys, only men with violent hearts" as if it is a lesson John has learned from Arthur.
