Anyone else get chills every time you hear this man sing? Fucking incredible voice.
You should hear him live.
Yeaaaah! Is so strong and awesome!
Beth Hart does...but this guy is a close second
@Harbreakfast: AGREED!!! Love The White Buffalo. It's really awesome to have found him some years ago because my voice is just like his and it's sometimes quite hard to make cover songs fit with my vocal range (low baritone) and register but TWB's songs are all just _perfect_ to cover plus he's such a great songwriter that it's never a bad time to play or hear a White Buffalo tune aye. My GF and I are finally gonna get to see him this summer with a ton of other great artists (Big Sky Festival in Montana) and I'm super stoked to see him. Cheers and happy new year man.
Me!
I am from Russia and I have wanted to live in America all my life since childhood. You have such soulful songs . I know many people in America don't like Russians, but I love you. I am very sorry that I will never get to your beautiful country. But I am an American at heart.
We like Russians. We cant pick our leaders a lot of the time.
@@benjamink1403 to me it's how your heart shines, doesn't matter where you're from.
I respect Russia dearly, and I respect you.
Americans and Russians hate our governments, not each other.
Russians are similar to Americans in that we dislike our government, never really each other. But because we’re also both so patriotic to our nation and what it should be they use us to defend it, that’s what makes both the 2 most dangerous nations
"Its not what you say, its what you do"
chills every time
RIP Mum, miss you every day. This song is a straight masterpiece but my God it cuts deep.
@The Watchful Archer 🏹 Thanks, you too mate 👍
Thanks for the love and listens. The White Buffalo Performing Songs of Anarchy Live from Belly Up Tavern Feb 21st is on sale now: bellyuplive.com/the-white-buffalo
Love your music!! Great band :-)
Genio🖤
i am a busker in Lancaster may i cover your song with one change ?
I was not a soldier but some of my friends were, (I was a volunteer firefighter first responder) and i dont feel right singing the line "country I was a soldier for you" and would like to change it to "they" in honor of all veterans (my grandfather was in the Navy).
i hope this would be ok.
thank you for the song.
it hit home in more ways than one
Still listening 🎧 till now, i love you Buffalo ❤️
The White Buffalo deserve much more attention...They always deliver phenomenal songs
exactly they are so underated
They are not them. It's him under the pseudo-name The White Buffalo. And the band just plays with him.
leonard cohen too!
Totally agree! He hits the heart with his words in every song. This world needs more true artists.
I have this album and a few others, and i've been listening to it ever since. To me, they are one of my favorite artists. Jake writes some of the most relatable songs to me.
When I considered to end my life 2 years ago, this song made me reach out for help instead. I still cry when I hear this song as a reminder of where I was and where I am today. Thank you!
I felt the same way about your comment. Brought tears to my eyes reminding me of my past. God bless and kewp on keeping on. ❤️

This is a lifeline song between me and my combat vet son.
PRAISE GOD! I am so happy for you😊
This is an ode to realization, where cruelty, desperation, TRUTH, fanaly hits you hard in the face with taste of iron feeling your mouth... Here you realize that the only one saving you, is YOU. that your country is YOUR Family! and that the no porpouse to this life except the One you choose and fight to make it come true!
Les sous titres ne correspondent pas du tou5 aux paroles chantées 😢 c'est vraiment décevant et bien dommage a!!!
Thank you The Punisher for leading me to discover this amazing song and thus this amazing singer that, as a lover of country music, I can't believe I didn't know!
I can’t believe Inmissed this song in The Punisher but def got obsessed with Tom Waits - Hell Broke Luce; guess I’m just gonna have to rewatch the entire first season of The Punisher 🤷🏽♂️😜☺️
@@JG4EVER There's also The Woods by The White Buffalo in Season 2 of Punisher when he visits his family's graves
Found my way here, thanks to the Punisher! Love it :)
RIP Mother 😭💔 1966-2018 Gone but not forgotten...♥
My condolences to you and your family , shes in a better place now and watching over you every day. 🙏🙏🙏
May she rest in peace.
My condolences bro, big hug. Hope you well
i hope she rest in peace
Rest in peace, respect from México... I send a bug hugg
Never have i ever seen my mother cry in my entire life. This song made her remember her mother (died of cancer) in some way i couldn't have suspected it when i showed it to her. The moment me and my mother had with this song is irreplaceable and i am for ever grateful for this.
Wish i'd known this music earlier.
God bless you.
I lost my mother. This song came into my head right away. I tried to do right by you, mother, and I did wrong, and I knew. Now I'm digging a grave for you, this is all I could do. I wish you could really get back home and make everything new. I wish it was true...
Thank you. Thank you for saying what my feelings could not, and make this song. I wish I could play it to her.
I can't believe it took me this long to discover this masterpiece, no nudity, no fancy instruments, no bullshit, just pure talent and soul-hitting lyrics.
Thanks, punisher for leading me to this.
"Boy come on out from the cold, you're lost outside there don't you know? It's not what you say, it's what you do...just keep wishing your wishes are true..." may be one of my favourite lines in music history.
5 chords .simple lyrics.simple awesome... pure talend comes with simplicity.. Cheers buffalo
Less is more in so many contexts..

"Country
I was a soldier to you
I did what you asked me to
It was wrong and you knew
Country
Now I'm just a stranger to you ... "
- The punisher
Damn feels
Hits home hard
where I came from.
A lot of vets know all to well how this feels 🇬🇧🇺🇸🇨🇦🇦🇺
We knew it was wrong, but we did what they asked so others didn't have to. My brothers and sisters, we carry that burden together.
You did it because you liked it. Don't try to hide it behind a damn song! Someday the US are gonna post for all that evil
Now this is what a music video should look like. It's actually portraying the song. The White Buffalo forever!
Heard a lot of new stuff lately and then this comes up..
Already one of the best I've heard..
"Country, I was a solider for you
I did what you asked me to
It was wrong and you knew
Country, now I'm just a stranger to you
A number, a name it's true
Throw me away when you're through".
Hits hard.
What always fascinated me about professional singers is how they are able to get through songs like this. I mean how on earth do you pull off the 'mother, tried to behave for you, now im a diggin a grave for you, it was all i could do' part without your voice breaking? My throat always feels like its made of solid rock when he gets to that part even when im not trying to sing along.
He has such a unique voice with a wide range and good breath, and his lyrics are compelling. Thank God for SOA, or I might never have heard this beauty.
If my soul had a voice that could sing and move mountains ... this would be it. What a beautiful story teller.
Nah you got your own just as good if you can find it
It’s the search for how to connect voice and soul - truly inspirational . I sing this at the top of my lungs - honey and grit and blood in this voice. Finding the abandon to be brave enough to sing like this, yes..
What a song! I happen to be an Army Infantry veteran... the last verse definitely topped this off perfectly. Brought tears to my eyes. I wish there could be more artists with songwriting skills. Thank you for this song, sir!
I totally agree with you brother.
Hero of war - Rise Against
Me too.

It was an amazing show at São Paulo - Brazil. I waited for this for 8 years and he came on my birthday, the best gift i could ask for. I will never forget this special, magical moment. Thank you Jake, I LOVE YOU! BRAZIL LOVES YOU!
☝ *_O Brasil está te esperando Buffalo! Que Deus te abençoe..._*
*_Brazil is waiting for you buffalo! God bless you..._*
and France too !
Just saw the White Buffalo at Cargo in London - he's as good live as I expected him to be - exquisite. Simply put he is as good as it gets - absolute legend. My wife got a pic with him outside - classy guy. Love you Buffalo you're the best - songs, heart and soul.
"Mother, i tried to do right by you" aaaaaand i started crying ... first sentence and it already hit home
Me too
Lyrics
Mother, I tried to do right by you
To do what you asked me to
I did wrong and I knew
Mother I tried to behave for you
Now I'm a digging a grave for you
It was all I could do
Find a way back home, make everything new
But I wish it was true
Father, well I'll give my soul to you
I came in blind folded for you
It was all that I knew
Open your arms and I'll fly out of hell up to you
I wish it was true
Boy come on out from the cold
Your lost outside there don't you know
It's not what you say it was you do
Just keep wishing your wishes are true
Well your dreams there reality
There's no pain there's no misery
Just polish the blood and the bruise
For there's just no way you can lose
But I wish it was true
Country, I was a solider for you
I did what you asked me to
It was wrong and you knew
Country, now I'm just a stranger to you
A number, a name it's true
Throw me away when you're through
Home of the brave and the free, the red white and blue
But I wish it was true
saw The White Buffalo play this live tonight 9.2.21. tonight this song brought me to tears. Remember those who gave all for our country. All those who gave the ultimate sacrifice in any war fought to protect us American Citizens. And now The 13 that were sacrificed just days ago. May we never forget these heroes. May we somehow stand in unity as I write this with my heart being ripped apart knowing mothers and fathers are burying their children, husband's and wives their spouse and children their mothers and fathers. God bless America. Semper Fidelis (love you Uncle Irvin RIP U.S. Marines, Vietnam)
Hauntingly beautiful Song speaking of Love, Loss and Longing.
Just heard this on The Punisher Season 1 ep. 3. I think it was on Sons of Anarchy too if I remember correctly. Great song, great voice, simple music...no drums, piano, BS needed. Just a man, 6 strings, his voice, and blood. You can hear the pain, feel the tears. Keep it up White Buffalo, keep it up!!
yes it was in SOA way before than Punisher
This song resonates with this Veteran more than you know, nearly a decade on and he learned the lessons I should've learned prior.
This song made me tear up. I don't talk to my parents, I'm a veteran, and I feel broken on a lot of days. Got me right in the feels. I love this song.
Thank you for your service
And I second what Rosa wrote. Thank you.
Thanks 🙏 from north wales 🏴 ❤
Hang in there brother stay strong...
You need islam bro it will change your lfe for the better, best of luck
Adore The White Buffalo... for a long long time!!!
My god. I did not expect this. I’m crying. This is raw as hell and honest
That song is so perfect. Good melody, strong lyrics, good video.
This man has made me rethink my whole approach to music, always played in rock bands, need to do more solo work like this, thanks Buffallo, when you come to the UK I will be first in that queue
you said that in the whistler video
Now is your chance. He is actually coming to UK.
Curtam pra mim nunca deixar de ouvir esse hino que me remete tanto a minha vida.
Love the color of your voice ❤ hurts deep but I can stand it as long as you sing ❤ Love from german country
Beautiful, talented & gorgeous, love you man.🏴
This has got to be one of the most beautifully written songs I've ever heard in my life.
The voice....
The feelings...
Amazing!
........and the song!!!
White Buffalo Rocks!!!!!! Bless his heart and soul for coming up with such unique songs, and a perfect voice for them to be heard. His songs have true life meaning behind.
Soooo lovely makes me cry
Since I was cop, 2:46 hit me really hard.. and nope no series brought me here. Its just this guy getting famous like he deserves. Problem Solution is my second fave!!
Absolute tears every time I hear this song. How it applies to each and everyone is unbelievable. I have people at The White Buffalo concerts that believe the song speaks to them and their life experiences. Somehow the lyrics call each of us in in our own ways. Thank you, as it brings us all closer to each other!!
100%
My mom left me when I was 12...this song gives my chills and puts tears in my eyes because I still love and miss her
must been hard...
My condolences
I completely understand and I am so very sorry. My father left me when I was young and never had anything to do with me. He died a while back and I went to the funeral. It hurt me so bad.
ada vou fazer não não sei NN jndo n tenho nada a vê fazer não não sei MN m

❤️❤️❤️
God what an amazing tune. I never get tired of listening to this.
Since i started the veterinary school i listen this music i got high on this song. Never knew if when i return home my father and my mother would be there waiting for me to thank them.
Thank you White Buffalo for the company all this years.
2:09 point of spectacular view with the kid running next to the bus.. great job from the director!!
What an awesome song...brought tears to my eyes. I could here this a thousand time and not get tired of it. From the heart ❤
Dear White Buffalo,
You have got me through the toughest times, I can't be greatful enough. Keep going strong!
The White Buffalo are prob in my top 3 fav bands of all time. Everything they write and sing has so much meaning and they need to be more recognized for their music, and what they write!!
😔😢❤️🩹🙏🏼
The Punisher brought me here. This is a great song. I have kept it on repeat for hours. The first verse is the best for me. I think this song deserves more views than other songs I have listened to.
Last verse is a punch in the gut.
Thanks WB.
THIS SONG IS ABOUT MY LIFE AND MADE ME CRY ANGAIN, AGAIN & AGAIN. . .THANK YOU
Powerful voice n sweet melodies like this always should be chart topping always we as Americans need songs like this 2 get us thru hard times💯💯💯💯💯✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽
This song is pure gold. They deserve all the best!
the most sad feeling a soldier can feel is all that blood, sweat and tears were for nothing and no one is in home when he came back
An amazing song and perfectly fits the scene where it starts to play in Marvel's The Punisher Netflix. The song makes such a brutal war scene seem so tragic and emotional in the Netflix series.
Aquela voz que você não encontra em mais ninguém ❤. Esse cara consegue descrever como eu me sinto em cada letra. Só falta vir pro Brasil hsushshsh
shawn Rod no eddie vedder kkkk é igual
This song made me cry, i'm from México, but the pain and grit of the lyrics and all is real. We're just humans, we are not evil by nature, we're no meat for the grinder. how i wish every politician from around the world notice that.
A big AMEN to that Oswaldo
Well said Oswaldo,but in truth the politicians around the world will not notice it.
The power of that voice!! Blew me away.
But it's not just an incredible voice, there is real craft and talent in spades in the songwriting too.
Listen to him and you believe him.....you believe what he sings.
It's that quality that vapid soulless pop cover artists can never produce.
Beautiful 🙏🇮🇪
A voz desse cara da até um arrepio
Demais! Esse cara é muito bom.
His voice is actually disgustingly amazing.
That last verse really hits my soul
No bone spurs there!
Greetings from South Africa. What a deep song. Touches some history inside me. Bless you.
Wow. What a powerful song!!! Thank you Punisher for introducing me to this gem.
This guy looks exactly as i imagined him when i first heard his voice...amazing music!
Same. I pictured him exactly like this lol.
+TwoHeadedBear He's gorgeous :D
yea.... its weird i never get those kinds of things right
same here lol
thats cos u dont kno eddie vedder. if you hadnt known that this song was from White Buffalo you'd think of eddie vedder, trust me :)
MEU DEUS DO CÉU, COMO O CARA CONSEGUIU COMPOR ISSO? MEU, QUE LETRA, QUE MELODIA, QUE HARMONIA, QUE VOZ, PERFEIÇÃO CANTADA!
@Juan Cacho Si mi amigo!
Wow I remember back when this band came from humble beginnings...and they still do but it's nice to see them get so many views. This song still holds an amazing part in my heart.
It;s not really a band :p More of a singer.
@@Crytica. It is a band, because they TOUR with a band lol
after 13 years i still cry with this song every single time
I don't know how my music could ever come close to this. You describe the sentiment so well...... Most of the time I try to not follow sad things, because my life has had enough sadness and hardship without dwelling on the sadness around me too much. But there are those days that I feel strong enough (or angry enough) to face the truth, and try to do my part. I don't usually watch any violent/realistic series' like "The Punisher", because I cry entirely too easily about the injustice of it all. But today I was so glad that I did, because I heard this song for the first time. Of course, you guessed it.... I cried. You reminded me that it's time I pull my guitar back out of the case and get back to working on my own songs for social change, and I am grateful for that. Hmmmm.... and I could soooo daydream about doing a duet with you! Thank you for sharing your gift. ~ Barb ~
Kinda the whole country's feeling rn
Estoy obsesionado con este cantante. Tiene una voz que sin llamar la atención, te llega al alma en sus canciones lentas. Increíble como su voz y una canción con arreglos sencillos despiertan tantísimos sentimientos.
1 of the best songs ever 🔥
When you are 44 years old and find a great TV show, an amazing song and an incredible voice in one go. Peace!
Miss you so much pops, you were the best, your forever in my heart 1946-2023
The year is 2022 and this is the only sound that soothes me and touches my soul
Almost end of 2022 🖐
Country, I was a soldier for you
I did what you asked me to
It was wrong and you knew.
Como eu amo a voz desse homem...
Brasil o/
+Josias Cardozo BRASIIIIIIL *-*
+Hellen Caroline a voz realmente é mt boa as músicas são mt viciante
+Josias Cardozo Com certeza, conheci pelo Sons of anarchy e não parei mais de procurar pelas músicas dele ♡
Amamos...
Sons of Anarchy brought me to know White Buffalo, but Jakes looks and voice keep bringing me back! Jake, mate, you’re a feckin stud with a voice like an angel, a Hells one! Loving the new “in the garage” magnificent tunes and voices!

Please lord give me some happy 🙏❤️🔥✌️
Thanks to Frank Castle to helping me discover a new great artist, hope his other songs are as good as this!
I LOVE HIM!!! LOVE HIS VOICE, HIS MUSIC
Agradeço a um amigo mto querido por me apresentar The White Buffalo ❤❤❤❤❤
I love American country music and the culture which comes with it, my dream is to one day visit your awesome country.
the man himself brought ME here. The man puts soo much emotion into all of his songs, it's like getting a glimpse into his soul, especially with this song, such raw emotion in that growling baritone.
yeah but watch punisher
PUNISHERRR!!
Lucas Marçal yess
Yesssssssss
Fuck yes it was perfect for the scene !
eu nem acreditei quando começou a tocar! é impressionante como as músicas dele se encaixa com as cenas em que são colocadas.
Amazing scene.
love from Greece......you are amazing.
greese me up, before you go go!
What a voice, what a talent.
Just like Johnny Cash
Just wow. So simple, but so deep.
i love you man , 46 year old and you bring me to tears .
Memorial Day was last week.. while all of you stuffed your faces with hotdogs hamburgers and beer .. did a single one of you stop to think of the gallons of blood spilled for you by people you dont even know?
to be pro troop is to be anti war .. bring our boys and girls home now!
I didnt serve .. i was a firefighter.. i tried to do what i could here in the homeland for the community.
but my Grandfather was in the Navy and he did what he could to protect us abroad ..
to all the service men and women both at home and abroad .. you are not alone .. you are not just a name and a number .. you are people .. and there is hope for a life after doing what needs to be done.
Semper Fi is the motto of the Marines .. but it should be the motto of all who serve their communities and country ..
Semper Fi .. Always Loyal ..
Como pode uma voz dessa...
Mother, Try to do right by you
To do what you asked me to
I did wrong and I knew
Mother I tried to behave for you
Now I'm a digging a grave for you
It was all I could do
Find a way back home, Make everything new
But I wish it was true
Father, well I'll give my soul to you
I came in blind folded for you
It was all that I knew
Open your arms and I'll fly out of hell up to you
I wish it was true
Boy come on out from the cold
Your lost outside there don't you know
It's not what you say it was you do
Just keep wishing your wishes are true
Well your dreams there reality
There's no pain there's no misery
Just polish the blood and the bruise
For there's just no way you can lose
But I wish it was true
Country, I was a solider for you
I did what you asked me to
It was wrong and you knew
Country, now I'm just a stranger to you
A number a name it's true
Throw me away when you're through
Home of the brave and free the, the red white and blue
But I wish it was true
🇺🇸
Thanks!
@Ariel Pereira, thank you for the lyrics. I had never heard this song until tonight, it made me cry, what a great song!
@@deedee-qf2ne This song is really touching..
@@arielpereira2454 yes it is!!
My mom dropped me off at her mother in laws house when I was 5. Dad came and got me a few days later. I still love her so much. I'm also a veteran with ptsd and struggle every day. This song is so powerful to me 🇺🇸
Pain can become beauty...or it can become devastation. Which way it goes, lies in the mind, heart, and soul of its beholder...
What a voice! What a song. Great.
