- this is a work in progress
it's not done.
i write live.
i press record,sometimes i leave it...
anyway,
we played this live:
sara neidorf on drums
hakon on guitar
and i played also
Man I love this band,definitely my favorite of all now,so fitting for whats happening in my life right now.. 21yrs married,28yrs together and my wife wants to leave,im so confused to whats happening.. i gave the majority of my life to her,the best years of my life,a face I've seen every day since I was a teenager.. I'm finding out quickly,nothing in life is certain,definite,or forever till death do us part
Hang in there, brother. Keep growing and love yourself!
much love to you guy .. check out this one, it rocks big time ua-cam.com/video/4TpXySrpFLA/v-deo.html
@@JayFortran I'm finally coming out on the other side.. August will be a year since standing in the driveway watching my wife drive away.. definitely didn't expect my life to so drastically change like this,but it did,I'm making the best of this path I'm on now
@@mikenorledge4110 yeah,definitely a great jam,added to my play list..
and yeah.. I guess,but 28yrs with a person,everyday,always worked hard for my wife and our 5 kids,always made for us,seems like such a waste to have only been "temporary",especially from an 18yr old kid that became a dad and did the right thing,put everything 18yr olds do(party,going out,hanging with friends)away to sacrifice for her and our children,to being 46 after they're all grown and it was supposed to be our time together to live out our lives together,go do things just us,traveling etc.... it is what is supposed to be I guess,who am u to say what was truly best for me,guess there's something better out there for me..
Thanx for the song ✌️
@@Seven.And.The.RaggedTiger glad to hear it. Change is the only constant.
My ever lasting thanks to Anthony Bourdain who started listening to your beautiful music and passed you onto me. RIP Anthony.
this song pulls my heart and brings old tears to my face
This song just made me go and pick up one of my guitars. Thanks Anton.
:')
the bjm effect
Don’t ever put that fuckin guitar down
And maybe now that you're starting to sing, you'll wake up and remember I wrote you this song ...
Big friggin deal it made me go and pick up my bong !!!😊😊😊😊😊😊🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊😊😊😊
Keep coming back to this song after 2 years. That's how good it is.
this is, for me, one of the best songs Anton wrote in last years. Just one of these that makes me go pick my guitar and go...
Thanks Anton, for all you gave and continue to give.
so true, this man a master of guitar
Thank you so much for you amazing songs music .during isolation I feel my hears and soul with ...thank you Genius Anton Newcombe
It takes your blood sweat and tears to be living at all….might be the best one liner I’ve ever heard. This song is an anthem. I saw you guys play in Williamsburg, Brooklyn in March of 2022. Brought my pregnant wife with me. What a show.
A Freeze frame lasts forever, but the picture is small, smalllll
I love artist that actually has guts to put out WIP pieces unapologetically for everyone to enjoy. Thank you so much for this. Your work with Tess Parks is what turned me on BJM and it just immidiatelly took a place in my heart. Feels so real, so authentic and of substance...
it progressed enough!
Anton
I just saw Bjm in Nashville. it was my first time. I loved every second of it. I was hoping to meet you and just tell you thank you. I've been a fan for 14 years and your music has meant so much to me. it got me through some very tough times. so thank you for the beautiful and great music you have given us.
this song you opened with and it'll forever hold a special place in my heart.
again thank you
One of the most surreal moments of my life was at The Barrowland Ballroom in Glasgow. Anton was sound checking this song, and only two or three of the other band members were on the stage at this point, the entire room was empty.
I sat right in the middle of the room and watched and listened, my friends were all super excited and talking and taking photos and I was just sitting there listening. Every now and again Anton stopped and would point something out, he sat on his amp and was thinking about what needed changed, what was wrong etc. There was something really magic in that moment.
When BJM were in full swing and the room was full, when they played Pish I was right up the back, the music was washing over me and I was taking in all of the people who were here to see BJM play.
The Brian Jonestown Massacre is perhaps the band that the 'world' tries to keep down more than many/most/all others because of the underlying 'spiritual' or political/whatever implications that them becoming massive would have, and also the band that that same force is failing most to keep down.
Great story. There is something indescribable, intangible about Anton Newcombe. I've heard comments like "did what the Beatles wanted to do, but could not quite reach it" and from someone who first heard "Take It From The Man" twenty years after it was released marveling and asking "How could I have missed this?" There IS no other musician like Anton. What "keeps him down" is this, and it's sounds arrogant, but it's not being said out of arrogance: Anton operates on a level so rarefied few people can even hear it, much less understand it. The first time I heard BJM was in 2003, "When Jokers Attack." And This Is Our Music was in my possession 48 hours later. I still play it at least three to five times a week. And I own every release of BJMs before and since. And I listen to that when I'm not listening to And This Is Our Music. I can't help myself. Sure, there's other decent music out there, and I enjoy it, but nothing comes within light years of Anton. I've tried to explain it. I've FORCED people to listen to it, waiting for that light to go on in their eyes. I've yet to see it. And I don't get it. Sooooo..... I feel blessed, as anybody who considers themselves a "fan", though somehow that word just doesn't seem to fit. I dunno. I've long since quit trying to understand it. I just sit back and feel lucky that gene I have in the ol' DNA connects me to this music, and can feel a little smug about it and at the same time feel a bit sad for those who just can't hear it.
Dig your observation at the soundcheck, Anton in his cosmos and you had a ticket to it. It was a phenomenal concert, definitely spellbinding, great venue, bands i see at Barrowland always deliver mighty vibes. The ingredients come together and all ascend. You Kundalini? Your set was rocking, you were enjoying it, you set up BJTM real well. The whole world should witness Anton and the guys live, would do a power of good for everyone. 7 guitars finale was Morricone-esque, sent me onto the Glasgow streets with invincibility in the heel and toe and groove in the heart n soul. #Roar
Know exactly what you mean. I'm 69 and just got them about 2 years ago, keep coming back. I make my own, very different music but this connects in that special, haunting, human, vulnerable yet determined way, especially since I was notified 3 mos. ago of the suicide of the woman I loved who moved away. Keeps me coming back...
@@KennethDonnellyStargazer21 you got yourself a new subscriber
It gets better every time I listen to it
This is my fave guitar solo maybe ever of all time.
Was about to comment the exact same thing. That solo is fire 🔥🔥
@@GoldcoastSurfCam me too!!!
3:17 - 4:30 easily one of the most thoughtful solos I ever heard in my life
amazing what the pentatonic scale can do in the right hands...I say this genuinely...
Have to agree with you there. Chilling guitar work, love the song.
thank you
Anton’s solo here moves me deeply. Touches my soul in a such a beautiful way.
Been trying to work this solo out (not that experienced on the 🎸. Where does it start? There are no tabs for jonestown :(
This is going to be a classic. A dirge you feel in your bones.
Oh man we need you in Peru. Discover your music was the best thing that has happened to me in my life. All your songs have a great significance to me, the melody, the solos, all of it.....
The best feelings I had were with your music.
Hope someday I could see you in a concert in Peru. Is my dream and wish. Literally, I would cry of happiness if this happens.
Keep making music, Anton. Your stuff is and is going to be always great and marvelous.
Cheers from a twenty years old Peruvian fan.
it's my wish too. i hope it can happen before i am 90 years old.
Dear brother, I sincerely hope brother Anton meets you and your entourage soon. He has influenced you greatly. i share in that. Peace to you.
These songs are just beautiful. But its "the pace" that just grabs the ears so hard. It appears as effortless and thats how I know its instinctive and craft at its apex. This band recording now... today ...is extraordinary.. period. The album after "something else" must be headed towards double wax? Both will be classics. Thank you for the whole damn trip.
Definitely one of my favourites on the new album.
i love the way you use the rythmns of the guiitar to install the groove in your tracks Anton )) You are and will always be the Man who keeps me coming back for more, thanks really for all of your musical landscapes Brother, the breath of fresh air you are ))
I love his funereal, swaggering voice on this, along side it's nonchalant underbelly beat, lifting it high above the glorious heavens. 😊 💙 X
Here's something for you to put down
I'll write it if you spell it out
I left you alone before you were gone
I've been, I've been playing along
Here's something for you to put down
You never heard me coming but when
I leave it will make an awful sound
I've been playing along but now, and now I'm gone
I've gone, and left this song but I leave the ending up to you
Here's something that you could never take down
Not every sudden sound that drops
Below the water drowns
I've been playing along but now, and now I'm gone
I've gone and left this song but I leave the ending up to you
The ending up to you, the ending up to you
Thank you Anton music for the soul .lovelovelove
I mean, srsly, nothing beats the emotion in this song. Nothing even compares. Speedy recovery Anton, glad you're back. Your fans love you man
Am I the only one coming back here because this is the clear superior version compared to the mastered LP version? It was always bittersweet listening to this because I knew it would be remade. Love the delivery on the hypnotically slurred lyrics here. I suppose it never had a chance.. good thing is that the marvelous solo was untouched!
i know what you mean
Anton is fucking killing it lately. Some of the best shit of his career. Who says you can’t make quality shit till the end!?
I love the drums playing slightly behind the beat. Adds an awesome disjointed groove to the song.
it will be fixed
@@antonfjordson please don't...😀
one of the greatest songwriters of our time. Fucking brilliant
The feeling when Anton uploads another gem. Fucking blessed. Sara is a legend.
yes,, sara kills it here
Who is Sara
Golden as usual! Merry Christmas to you and the family! Thank you for what you do! Peace☝️👌
Beautifully written and put together ❤️... Truth is you are all you have, the heart doesn't break even. SO YOU BETTER LOVE YOURSELF..
My new favorite BJM song. Thank you Anton!
Fingertips has edged ahead. Be well brother.
Was just about to say "new to me", and looked at the date. Very nice. Hope you keep it and don't change much. Already a new favorite.
🌿🍯✌😎💨❤️💛💚 *_Love it!!!!_*
This is exactly what I needed to hear right now.
The guit at 3:12-4:30!! holy shit that was good!! Great tune, great way to start the day
That's called "Anton-ation".
This one should definitely be added to the set list for the next tour!
it is - do a live search for melborne
@@antonfjordson come back to melb
The better way to end or start the day is those tunes of Anton and friends!
love all of you. positive or negative comments. feeling each other and not alone. BJM/Anton holding us all together like a tight yet fragile thread. whatever you're doing or going through, you're not alone.
You're damn right
And I'm fucking stoned
♩♫♩humm humm hummmm... aint got nothin at allll ♩♫♩.... diggin the groove, anton, as always (~);-}
Some of my favourite Van Morrison songs to listen to are the ones where he's working out the songs in the studio, it's really interesting to hear the WIP songs. Love it Anton. Love your music and what you stand for.
They opened with this in Tampa on Wednesday. You must see this live if you can.
one of their best opener 8 saw them at la route du rock and they opened with this , its a way to melt your heart ! its great
you bring love and hope and some awe-inspiring tunes a, thx
Me encanta estos estilos místicos de otras culturas , y sacar nuestro proyecto o estilo propio para obtener otra dimensión… Gracias Anton..🙌
Anton, thank you for playing a good chunk of new songs in your sets on this tour. They are incredible! Can't wait for these albums to come out! Safe travels during the rest of your time in the US and on the other legs.
they played this as the opening song at their show and it was so powerful.
Hope you had a great holiday season. Thanks for the music.
ahhh
My God this is awesome stuff, Mr Newcombe, brings a tear to my eye (like Days, Weeks and Moths). Can't wait to see/hear this live in October during the UK tour (managed to wangle three dates - yippee!), the expectation is keeping my spirits up in troubled times.
On a loop allllll daaaaay....
Anton, I saw you play in Detroit recently. My first time seeing your band. This song slayed me. Thank you for coming here.
Beautiful song. The guitar solo is taking me to a higher place!!
Great stuff, Anton! Reminds me "Sweet Nothin" by VU
This is so good it do something to my heart and mind and its stays in my head and i want it to stay there because i need it i need this feeling now .
I wish you a nice day ✨✨✨
Thank you for your investment in music. I listen to you daily, side by side with thee oh sees and van morrison, moon duo, the ocean blue and pixies and more all the good stuff railroad jerk holy wave patto fugazi. Yay music.
Anton Newcombe you are a true artist !!!! thank you for everything..
Never seem to get old still going strong and even better just a top band should have more respect in the music industry..much love
Slovakia needs you brother.
If I ever need to fall asleep straight away for some reason this song will 90% do it in a beautiful way. On the 10% chance I don't fall asleep I play it again. I think it's in the rhythms. - if you are comfortable and it is dark and you listen to this song you will fall asleep.
There is a sound us humans are accustomed to and Anton produces it thanks from your brother in America Maine Made black magic!!!! Eddie James
saw you open with this in chicago and it hit me so hard. thank you for the amazing music
No other song makes me feel emotions as powerful as this one. Happy new year Anton!
Once again Mr Newcombe you just keep creating awesome material which deserves full respect . Right on😎😎😎
I hope you see you In Chile Anton
Great song
Heard this on the tour in Exeter and Falmouth, really good opener and hope it's on the new album, cheers Anton
Lyrics: (my guess based on the 2019 iTunes release)
You feel love, well you better love yourself
be careful now because love is against the law
just so high, you could give a fuck-in shit about the law
its worth your blood sweat and tears to be livin at all
you fought the lies everybody tries to tell you you’re dead
it flies before your eyes before anybody had said
the motherfuckers never stop drilling holes in you’re head
You want a life, Oh’ but then you die so slow
“Hands up, drop the gun” shot you dead and that’s the hole in the law
you close your eyes don’t look at the lies but then you see it all
a freeze frame lasts forever but the picture is small
They say love is everywhere and that’s the damndest thing
its in your eyes, the butterflies and part of everything
the cloudy skies, the fog in your eyes, it will not let you see
the chance to fall and hear the call and grab a man to bring
don’t be surprised when you wake up and they tell you you’re dead
my final hope: we’re the same as nothing at all
the motherfuckers never stop drilling holes in you’re head
and maybe now as your starting to sink
you’ll wake up and remember the words to this song
and maybe now as its starting to sink
you’ll wake up to discover you’re singing along
pretty close.
Best thing about Anton. Is he continues to put out songs almost daily it seems.......thanks for the music brotha
What a beautiful song. Remind me the 90s.
It's 2019,and i can't stop listening to this. It's like every bad thing,bad feeling i have,fades away when it starts. Because it makes you relief and make you flow with the slo guitar flawlessly and confidently shading between the chords. Makes you wanna light up a cigarette and drive a Pontiac down the hill screaming "fuck it" to all the stupid people that hurts you and all the bad things this life wants to bring you. Let's just scream fuck it while listening to this song and laugh at the sadness
and still, the hat goes deeper. Thanks Anton, we love you
The music.... is just a mental trip.....
So Beautifull! Thank you! Obrigado!
Rock'n'roll...
Simplesmente.
Irresistivelmente.
I fill oups .merci merci Anton
Doggone it, love this. Thank you.
such an amazing tune! one of the quintessential BJM tunes
Mesmerizing. Love it!
Si no te digooooo .......:) Anton, graaaaaande , me encanta tu forma de entender e interpretar la música. Gracias por estos momentos. Coolovemusic
Music is Love / Love is All!
Love it. Can't wait to hear it live.
we are practicing it right this second for tour :)
Oh wow...genius as usual...( Great album title that!!!! )
Looking forward to seeing you in Dublin this Friday Anton! Will be a great night 😁
Eres un monstruo, Anton. Tu música es un aliciente para vivir. ¡Abrazos desde Colombia! Keep music evil...
Fabulous one Anton! Thanks a lot!
Trickydicky
Yes, they tried to keep 'Microdisney' / 'Fatima Mansions' down in the UK but the legendary UK DJ the late John Peel supported them as he did with BJM with his 'Peel Sessions' for new talent.
I love you man. This is such an awesome song. See you in Newcastle bud :)
Never a truer word spoken!
another trip, man I love it
Thanks Anton! Need some cool vibes on a very hot day here in Oz.
Sound Anton, you know I find `everything is everything`these days`🌬
Hey Antone -- I know you said it isn't finished, but this sounds fucking awesome to me as it is. Any chance I can get it in MP3 somehow? Going to India soon and would love to have this on my i-pod driving through the Himalayas (and happy to pay for it).
❤🙏
this would be amazing at Levitation!
Great song!!!
DIG THE VIBES
Can someone please post the Lyrics? This is such a wonderful song but we want the lyrics to sing along!!
