I've watched your stuff for years Joe, thirteen in total so that's pretty much half my life right there. Gotta say with all honesty this album is probably the best thing you've ever done. Every song just drips with passion and heartfelt honesty. Your cartoons will always be hilarious, but they never moved me like your music does. Will be buying the album. Don't ever stop doing what you do, good sir.
@Rodyle, @Joe Shields I could not have said it better myself. I have loved your work from the 1st time I saw frog in a blender in 98 or 99, somewhere in there. Hated to see flashplayer go away. As it was an end of a great era for sure.!! Your music and artwork is so real, and moving, and just as powerful as anything else out there. Great work and keep rocking with your bad self.!! And even to get Bill Plympton to animate one video, that just blows me away. I love his work as well.!! Hugh fan of Plymptoons, which brought me to love your work in the 1st place.! I'm not sure which one of you should be more honored for that video. 😁 Loved it.!
This song is amazing. I came on youtube the other night because I just wanted to watch a few videos of joecartoon and have a laugh and came across this. I am so glad I did. I am hoping to eventually get this album!!!
Been a fan 10+years now.. and honestly one of the best flash vid creators ever.. thanx for the years of entertainment. . And love the songs Joe.. nothing but good stuff .
It's warming to observe, how the silly jokes from before, in time, fell into this secret pond of peaceful isolation. Joe became that part of my life which is like a souvenir, from long ago, from an event where you had a great time, alone. And if somebody asks what's so great about it, you can't explain because you had to live it to understand.
Joe was definitely part of my growing up!! And you are absolutely correct, @hidalgo, you just had to be there. There's no explaining who and WHAT Joe Cartoon is!!
I love the amazing contrast in the transition from being forsaken by God (being stuck in the town at the beginning) and then at the end again being forsaken by God (taking his only love)
this almost made me tear up this is a artistic animation and amazing song with a story behind it that makes the viewer emotional every bit pure perfection
Can you perform at my little cousin's birthday party? In all honesty, Joe I remember getting into trouble for watching your cartoons at my friend's house when I was little. Good times. Putting your amazing skills in animation aside, your music is just incredible. I was slowly losing interest in making music, but after listening to your songs I have been playing guitar again. Thanks Joe, you are an inspiration.
if i understood it well:- life is a journey symbolised here by the train and the place he stopped at in the beginning shows one of lifes stops "marriage" were comprises need to be done such as the wallet or booklet symbolising the the part of freedom & cuts in money. however as live goes on the only thing that matter becomes the "wife". As she dies he continues his journey with the things taken from him at the beginning that are worth nothing to him now alone.
Its no Supafly, lol, but man was that a good tune. JoeCartoon has been one of my favorite things for years. Glad to see you doing stuff again. Btw, I think this song would have made Bubba shoot the jukebox.
Wow! Great song and great visuals. I look forward to seeing you live at the Kerrville Folk Festival when you share your music as part of the Grassy Hill New Folk showcases on Sunday, May 29. Hugs, *
+Vern Crawford - wow! I been following Joe for a while, but I did not connect him with his real name in the New Folk list! I do love me some Joe Cousin Joe Twoshacks and I'll be looking forward to seeing him in New Folk too!'
damn joe you keep making awesome songs. must say this my second favorite next too leave to beaver. god your cartoons are awesome and your music is great.
Joe, my man your shit was my first exposure to the internet many years ago. You're the reason I love watching animated comedy. Loved ya since the first video I saw! How are you these days?
Joe, I'm trying to buy your album, but none of the links you advertise on your website work in my country/platform, I even tried Amazon, same thing (they require a US address). How do I get your album in drm-free mp3?
i have been looking for the lyrics to this song and other songs from joe and i just can't find them, can someone help me out or is there simple no where to see the lyrics yet?
Gamer's Blood I'm guessing its taking love for granite so once they pass you realize how much you loved them, the only reason I'm guessing its both because of the lyrics "I don't love you" but he still visits her grave everyday and then he changes it too "I love you" once she dies
Twice now you have brought a tear to my eye. You have a special kind of magic. Thank you.
thank you! that is a very huge compliment! thank you!
***** makes me cry everytime too

Hey from 2021, still listening to this with my girlfriend on late nights. Hope everyone's alright.
It's been 5 years and I still listen weekly.
I keep coming back...I love this song
This song is amazing. I came on youtube the other night because I just wanted to watch a few videos of joecartoon and have a laugh and came across this. I am so glad I did. I am hoping to eventually get this album!!!
I found this the same way two nights ago! I wanted to show my mother Possum Whistle and became engrossed for hours.
2022 and I still come back to this song.
I'm with you bro

超好きです
なんとなくせつない
That's my uncle! This is my favorite song on your album

I want an uncle like that too.
Be proud, it's not likely that they remember, but your uncle is remembered by tons of people
I've listened to think song many, many times. It hits a special spot in my heart. ❤

Amazing song, amazing animation. My english isn't good enough to describe how touchy it is.
6 years huh time fly's when your looking back
Love it. Watch your videos before UA-cam was invented. Now i listen your music. Thanks Joe
I've been looking forward to this since The River.
Really beautiful work.
These definitly need more views. Sharing!
That was powerful and moving. It was sad, but powerful. Nice song. I wish it were available on iTunes and google play.

Joe Shields no problem. The only issue is I am broke
Listened to this song years ago... and then just now at 2am it came into my head again. Weird nostalgia

Still coming back to listen now and again
this almost made me tear up this is a artistic animation and amazing song with a story behind it that makes the viewer emotional every bit pure perfection
Same!! This is so perfect, the plot, animation, song, and the voice!
Can you perform at my little cousin's birthday party? In all honesty, Joe I remember getting into trouble for watching your cartoons at my friend's house when I was little. Good times.

What an amazing song and video....can't wait to buy this album as soon as payday comes around....whiskey and beer have made me broke sorry Joe
if i understood it well:-

Where are you brother, we need that magic here bad as ever???
i'm a MAN goddamnit. i shouldn't be tearing up to this.
Never know what you have until you lose it
Joe, my man your shit was my first exposure to the internet many years ago. You're the reason I love watching animated comedy. Loved ya since the first video I saw! How are you these days?
I felt something
Nice
A voice like Barney Gumble from the Simpsons and somehow that ends up sounding excellent on these tracks. Amazing. haha
Nice the love the song
9:46 AM, 6 APRIL 2020 ☺️
Come to so.il. and join us for a festival
i dig it, it's all surreal n shit
I was going to say thank you also
what i like to know is there truth to the song or is it just a brew from scatter thoughts?
either way you're a great wordsmith!
the names are actually real. she did name the town alto. the rest…i made up.
+Joe Shields if she really is real, she knows how much she means to you. this was an amazing song and the only one that can get me to tear up.
my name is lucy skidmore .....
Lyrics? Maybe chords as well? :D I'll try to type them up myself but there are parts I can't quite understand, and I want to cover this.
Specifics: What is the name of the creek? Also, in the last chorus, "My Miss Lucy Skidmore" ...there's a word after that, but I just can't get it.
+Amias Shipley platlig creek, and mormonathing
So that one line is "My Miss Lucy Skidmormonathing"...? It doesn't sound like there are that many syllables.
Pratt Lake Creek. Lucy Skidmore McVean
Joe, I'm trying to buy your album, but none of the links you advertise on your website work in my country/platform, I even tried Amazon, same thing (they require a US address). How do I get your album in drm-free mp3?
i have been looking for the lyrics to this song and other songs from joe and i just can't find them, can someone help me out or is there simple no where to see the lyrics yet?
Fantastic song! Is there any way to get the guitar chords and/or lyrics anywhere please?
I know right!
Who's that one dude who down votes these awesome videos
any chances for a second album?????
Can you bring back the gerbil?
Somebody, print the text that song here, please. For all russians.
sad :"(
Sup..
Not to detract from the music and fantastic video, but it sounds to me like he's saying "Lucy Skidmark."
Is this song about love or death or both
Gamer's Blood I'm guessing its taking love for granite so once they pass you realize how much you loved them, the only reason I'm guessing its both because of the lyrics "I don't love you" but he still visits her grave everyday and then he changes it too "I love you" once she dies
it had to have trains in it to be a good blues song
Is Joe died ? Yes or No
no.
Joe Shields thanks
