it is pretty goddamn good...It makes me happy that there are people out there appreciating the same things that I am...we are all connected in some way shape or form
Michael Nau is one of those artists whose music I instantly connected with the first time I heard it. Totally makes sense that Scott McMikken mentioned him on Amoebas’s “what’s in my bag” series. This stuff is pure soul. Whoever listens to this kind of music, y’all are the real ones.
There is something very special about Cotton Jones. It's such simple music, and yet about as beautiful as it gets at the same time. The heart-felt melodies really resonate with me. I hope as the band becomes more popular they never lose this raw and emotional edge.
i just found this song… life’s falling apart slowly. i don’t have the will in me to want 2 be better. i just get high and act like everything’s okay. not a person to call home. this song makes everything feel okay. :)
Everything has turned around I was standing by the passing train Might've coughed in the rain Dropped a dollar down the gutter drain Everything has turned around Been waiting for a little change When finally it came I just waited for another Waited for another You know I'm the changer The rearranger I'm always a stranger And a liar Got a tongue on fire I ought to cut it off I ought to cut it off And when I do, when I do I'm gonna let you know Gonna, gonna, gonna let you know 'Cause everything has turned around Now I'm sleeping in a garden bed Tryin' to clear my head Sittin', , waitin' to be fed 'Cause everything has turned around Two ears above the budding grass Let the hours pass Always gonna catch the next one Gonna catch the next one You know I'm a waiter The hesitater I will get to it later But I'm a liar Got a tongue on fire Ought to cut it off Ought to cut it off Ought to cut it off You know I'm the changer The rearranger I'm always a stranger I'm always a stranger I'm always a stranger And the liar Got a tongue on fire I ought to cut it off I ought to cut it off And when I do, when I do I'm gonna let you know Then I think I'm gonna let you know (I ought to cut it off, I ought to cut it off, I ought to cut it off) Then I think I'm gonna let you know (I ought to cut it off, I ought to cut it off, I ought to cut it off) You know I'm a changer The rearranger I'm always a stranger You know I'm a waiter A hesitater Gonna get to it later
I had the good fortune to meet Whitney after their show in Chapel Hill, NC last weekend. And she is every bit as sweet as her voice sounds. They played a great show. So glad I got to see em.
BarnyWaterg8 At the very least, the female singer went to middle and high school with me in Maryland, dunno if her hubby or any of the others grew up there as well.
Great track, and such a genuine folksy sound not common from bands these days...a little bit of an Edward Sharpe feel, and great chemistry between frontman and lady singer. Hope to see these guys soon in Georgia.
Sublime purity of melody and soul, you humans have. Thanks, so much for enriching my life. Beers all night on me if you come to Leicester. And I can arrange a gig too if you like?

This song is so valuable I do not dare to share it with anyone
Sharing is caring ❤
What's the point of beauty when it's hidden?
this is a whole feeling and i agree 100%
Agree, this feels like a fond memorabilia, you just cant help seeing it once in a while and just keep it to yourself
I just found this song & it’s so beautiful, I feel like there’s no one else I could share it with that would appreciate it’s beauty the same way
This song hits like nothing else, absolutely love it.
Agreed
it is pretty goddamn good...It makes me happy that there are people out there appreciating the same things that I am...we are all connected in some way shape or form

I’m just glad music like this is being made. Pure and timeless.
I still come to this....
Yep
Wow, this song hits you. Beautiful arrangement and the outstanding backing vocals need to be recognized as well.
Discovered this song a few months ago, now its July 2020 and I just found a badass version
Me too. I've fallen so hard in love with this song
Now it’s March 2023 and I’m really into Nau’s stuff
10 years after this song came out I heard it for the first time. That was today. 😌
Heard it 1st in 2023
Heard it first in 2022 I believe
If you don't like this song, I'm not sure what's wrong with you.
A true cure for anxiety
This video is my constant. Never take it down or I'll be displaced in time

same man same. dont know where to start and dont know what to expect to finish
Hold in there man it gets better
Surrender ,when you will fall down you will also find that there's soil that is going to hold you
hope ur better now
Hope you’re doing better
love it, KHRUANGBIN VIBES VOL. 4 brought me here
The vocal duo: a perfect match!
Everything has turned around
I was standing by the passing train
Might've coughed in the rain
Dropped a dollar down the gutter drain
Everything has turned around
Been waiting for a little change
When finally it came
I just waited for another
Waited for another
You know I'm the changer
The rearranger
I'm always a stranger
And a liar
Got a tongue on fire
I ought to cut it off
I ought to cut it off
And when I do, when I do
I'm gonna let you know
Gonna, gonna, gonna let you know
'Cause everything has turned around
Now I'm sleeping in a garden bed
Tryin' to clear my head
Sittin', , waitin' to be fed
'Cause everything has turned around
Two ears above the budding grass
Let the hours pass
Always gonna catch the next one
Gonna catch the next one
You know I'm a waiter
The hesitater
I will get to it later
But I'm a liar
Got a tongue on fire
Ought to cut it off
Ought to cut it off
Ought to cut it off
You know I'm the changer
The rearranger
I'm always a stranger
I'm always a stranger
I'm always a stranger
And the liar
Got a tongue on fire
I ought to cut it off
I ought to cut it off
And when I do, when I do
I'm gonna let you know
Then I think I'm gonna let you know
(I ought to cut it off, I ought to cut it off, I ought to cut it off)
Then I think I'm gonna let you know
(I ought to cut it off, I ought to cut it off, I ought to cut it off)
You know I'm a changer
The rearranger
I'm always a stranger
You know I'm a waiter
A hesitater
Gonna get to it later
I love this more than the actual recording!
If you like this song listen to the album. So much good stuff on there
wrd
Such a unique album! I can't get enough!
all of his music
any suggestions? :)
@@gulcesevgil5250 anything from Michael Nau is this good.
Discovered this band today. Jan 31 2021
I have no idea how they’ve slipped under my radar
Not sure why I'm just discovering this song, but I can't get enough of it.
This song is worth so much more compared to mainstream music…
This is one of the best pieces of songwriting in the last 25 years... @ me... I'll die on this hill
who knew Luigi was so musically gifted?
Yes man!!!!!!! Great comment........ ❤❤❤
nooooooooo shhhhhh
Where is Cotton Jones in 2021?
idk about '21 but he released some further solostuff under his real name "Michael Nau"
One of those songs that actually sounds good live
this girl's voice makes me melt. i think i'm in love....
Me too
I had the good fortune to meet Whitney after their show in Chapel Hill, NC last weekend. And she is every bit as sweet as her voice sounds. They played a great show. So glad I got to see em.
It's on my Amazon Music Sleep playlist in February 2021.
Omg just discovered this. Teary eyes
It's cool to see someone from my grubby hometown get out there and make something cool of their life. I like their sound.
+BloodylocksBathory where are you from, if you don't mind me asking? I'm thinking somewhere in Tennessee or maybe kentucky. this guy rules.

At the very least, the female singer went to middle and high school with me in Maryland, dunno if her hubby or any of the others grew up there as well.

Gumby was my favorite show as a child. Now that I am no longer a child. Cotton Jones is my favorite show.
They played great here.. I met him after the show. very down to earth man.
雨天 的海边，沙滩和硬石头，婷着这首歌，在法国海滩我走了很久

Great track, and such a genuine folksy sound not common from bands these days...a little bit of an Edward Sharpe feel, and great chemistry between frontman and lady singer. Hope to see these guys soon in Georgia.
These guys seem like they would be the perfect act for Meredith music festival
such sincerity
Love the band, going to see the singer play with Dr.Dog! Excited I wonder if he will play any of these songs.Crazy its been a decade already..
Probably my 100th play.... London would love you to come!!!
