After 2 days on playing this non stop I still can't get enough.
I'll have this played at my funeral 😃

[@wackyruss]

Yes I heard this on Walking Dead. I'm also a bassist so immediately recognized the sound of a bowed double bass which is rare in non classical music. I love how the bassist just whips out his German bow to add some nice accented bowed bass tones!

[@Dharmaville]

Other than classical, double bass is pretty common in folk / folk punk music, which is great because it's such a wonderful sounding instrument.

Carol brought me here :) love thing song so much

[@ErictheDead001]

Honestly speaking, the line "[I had] love enough to kill me but was unsure of its worth" goes through my head often. Well written.

[@samfowler2073]

That line just wrecked me.

[@mauro100nada]

I've never seen the Walking Dead. Probably never will. Just here to decide if I want to go see them live. I bet they rock live.

[@AeternumReisende]

[Verse 1]
Well, I came along to find a little peace of mind
Neglecting all my duties, stepping off that straightened line
Now I just sit by my front door filled with indolence and sound
It's like I'm watching the weeds grow on my brow
And I had a pure (PURE) potential in a soiled white shirt
With love enough to kill me, but was unsure of its worth
And though the night is sweetened by some rising of the moon
I've lived enough to know the battle's never through
[Chorus]
You pass something down, no matter where or how
Will there be weeds or wildflowers affixed upon your bows
And there's a crooked burning cigarette rolling on your tongue
Will there be weeds or wildflowers when you're done
[Verse 2]
Remember you traveled through the desert, you traveled to the sea
Looking out on some horizon, asking what you mean to me
And we all hang around with a free or toiled mind
While all of our branches entwined
And as I watch the brick erode from day to day
The leaves change their colors and the loft fills with hay
As a blade of sunshine cuts across my chest
The blood beneath boils with unrest
[Chorus]
You pass something down, no matter where or how
Will there be weeds or wildflowers affixed upon your bows
And there's a crooked burning cigarette rolling on your tongue
Will there be weeds or wildflowers when you're done
La la, la la, la-ah (x4)
[Verse 3]
Blown about by the wind, a worthless little thing
But the world can feel the changes of a butterfly's wing
And so that crooked burning cigarette rolling on your tongue
Will leave its weeds before your flowers yet have sprung
Will there be weeds or wildflowers when you're done

[@PurplemonkeyDdub]
