This song epitomises the film, and is the opening credits track, but also runs through the film also... if you haven't seen 'Dead Man's Shoes', it is well worth it.
Simple and profoud lyrics with an outstanding and a sui generis voice. "Vessel In Vain" I can't be held responsible for the things I say For I am just a vessel in vain And I can't be held responsible for the things I see For I am just a vessel in vain No boat out on no ocean No name there on no hull And it's not a strain at all to remember Those that I've left behind They're all standing right here beside me now And most of them with a smile My ideals have got me on the run Towards my connection with everyone My ideals have got me on the run Towards my connection with everyone My ideals have got me on the run It's my connection with everyone Such free reign For a vessel in vain
dead man's shoes is in my top 5 films of all time. the soundtrack adds so much as well. considine and kebbell were amazing, but i don't think the film would have been as effective without this soundtrack. a big shout out to aphex twin, who also contributed.

I come here when I am troubled. I am here today because yesterday I destroyed lives with my lies and deceit. I really fucked up this time and deserve never to be loved.
I hope things are much better for you now Chud. I am sorry that you hurt yourself by hurting others. It is a painful and destructive path; I've lived on that road. Listen to all of Bill's music, it's helped me overcome my fears. You can contact me zenun7@gmail.com if you'd like.
Zenun7 Hello. Thank you for your kind words. I wish I could say that things are better, I try to convince myself that they are but fail miserably. I will save your email ;)
Zenun7 I'm here again because of another huge fuck up on my part. I've broken the heart of another woman that loved me regardless of my countless flaws. My self destruction knows no bounds. My demons always win. Always.
***** Really fucking badly, thanks for asking. I am the true destroyer of lives. I make a girl love me then I get scared because they are too close. Then I subconsciously, probably consciously set out to drive her away by being unfaithful. I hate it that my dick makes all the decisions and I follow it like a sheep does the Shepard .
Hey, you just tune one tone down (lower). There are three chords: A, D and G. You will realize which one will go in each part, it's very easy. You don't need a capo. Sorry if you didn't understand. I'm from Argentina. My English vocabulary is a little poor.
Dead man's shoes brought me here..what a film,what a tune...cheers Shane
Incredible movie
Me too. Awesome song. Gone down a Bill Callahan wormhole 😊
thanks to bill, and will....
The little things that he does with his voice are what makes it. He delivers words in such an individual way. Less is more with this guy
A tremendous and unique sound 👍
Agreed! Top tune!!!
My absolute favourite song from my absolute favourite film. Both are just perfection.
Beautiful and reminds me of the absolutely stunning, mindblowing Dead man's shoes .One of my favorite films of all time although very disturbing
me too. Scared me to hell but also made me so sad. Like The Elephant Man - man's inhumanity to man :(
And Martyrs.
This song epitomises the film, and is the opening credits track, but also runs through the film also... if you haven't seen 'Dead Man's Shoes', it is well worth it.
it made me so scared but also scared the shit out of me!
it scared the shit out of me but also made me cry so much, the soundtrack just is the icing on the cake
Absolutely. It fits perfectly with the modern day Midlands bloody vengence Western.
I wish Bill overlooked my town and sang songs to us all. What a treat!
I feel so blessed for being one of the 12000 people in the whole world to have seen this.
Eu também, cara.
Has me every single time.
I could listen to this tune all day.
This is such a beautiful song! Almost makes me cry in the context of Dead Man's Shoes.
gives me shivers this
Just gets better.

"Vessel In Vain"
I can't be held responsible for the things I say
For I am just a vessel in vain
And I can't be held responsible for the things I see
For I am just a vessel in vain
No boat out on no ocean
No name there on no hull
And it's not a strain at all to remember
Those that I've left behind
They're all standing right here beside me now
And most of them with a smile
My ideals have got me on the run
Towards my connection with everyone
My ideals have got me on the run
Towards my connection with everyone
My ideals have got me on the run
It's my connection with everyone
Such free reign
For a vessel in vain

Gary Stretch was great too
@@briancox9357 Yep
By far one of my favorite songs. It’s just absolutely beautiful in every way.
‘My ideals have got me on the run”. This is me. It’s about stubbornness.

I love this song! I can live with that
Shivers down the spine everytime
Also i might add, that's a very beautiful sounding acoustic.
Christopher Hitchens what guitar you think it is? I need one

It's a martin i think.
@@johnbulwich268 I reckon custom parlour guitar...no stock ones sound that good
Powerful and sorrowful
Quality! Love finding new versions of this song. Great post, thanks.

Neil Young on vitamins.
Interesting :o)tm
There’s a bit of a genius about this song
This is heroin's song. From Heroin's point of view. He actually told me that at a festival...
@molho 11,000 0f them are me :)
D -A -G
@mumraaaaa mumraaaaaa speaks the truth. The Thunder Cats don't know shit!
"Is your love in vein".. The Ruts.
I prefer the recording used for Dead Man's Shoes... the guitar part in this doesn't sound right, the vocals are killer though.
corker
.
Why do only I think this song is heroin by heroin for heroin's sake. (Ruts).
…..
This is heroin's song from heroin's point of view!
