Only just heard this particular track first time today and have listened to it about twenty times in a row so far ..the joy of having aspergers and finding something you really like X
Congratulations, you have won our 'passive aggressive dumbass video comment award.' Sorry to all who tried and lost. Rennie. The prize: a box set of Andrei Tarkovsky's greatest movies.
Got a tattoo of a snake And a ski mask on my face But I woke up in a ditch Behind the Stop 'n Go Lying in the weeds With a bullet in my gut Watching dollar bills Fly away in the dust Now the sun's sinking down Spilling gold on the ground But I'm going out tonight Out past the last lights of town There was a girl with dark eyes And hair shining black And it ran like a river Wild down her back But these wide empty streets And the air shaking with heat They made me hungry Hungry to do something mean Now the sun's sinking down Spilling gold on the ground But I'm going out tonight Out past the last lights of town The Stop 'n Go's closed The coyotes they moan And the wind's rolling beer Cans down the street But the sun's sinking down Spilling gold on the ground And I'm going out tonight Out past the last lights of town
I saw them in Seattle in 2005, really amazing. They had a guy playing steel guitar with them. In this video, the contrast between the plastic west of today, empty of people, only populated by cars and signs, and the 1930s when the landscapes had people in them is haunting. The fact that the singing is out of sync with the images further signifies that something went wrong. And yet, there is a commonality. The Family displays a kinship with those older people, in that they are kind-hearted and plainly dressed. They even wave goodbye to us in a friendly way. I'd love to sit at their kitchen table.
This video was filmed in Albuquerque. I loved there for years most of the footage is from central ave. My apartment was on central ave and Louisiana right next to the caravan club pictured here
I guess you could file this sound under Americana, which now is a Grammy category. It is simple and has a lot of soul, I love this tune. The man's voice is world-worn and lived-in.
I was a fan of your music before True Detective was a thing, but that show helped me appreciate it even more. Love how you guys mix irony and melancholy into a perfect bland of great lyrics and experimental music.
Extremely good band, Far from any road, is a classic, fits True Detective like a hand in a glove. This is a haunting thing this song Gold I assume the meaning maybe something to do with misfortune a beautiful woman and I guess the gold flowing on the ground is his belly wounded blood, and , out past the last lights of town, is his life , going out tonight. Gone.
You guys are awesome! I love the sound of your music! Sounds like something from a western movie. Lol I think you guys brought the "western" part back in "Country and Western"
Buenas noches, Soy de Perú y me encanta tu música, soy fan de la música Country, quisiera pedir permiso para editar un video que se llama "Lejos de cualquier carretera", por favor, o decirme que debo hacer para poder hacerlo, hice un video para compartirlo en el facebook, pero me lo impiden publicarlo con el audio, espero su respuesta y mil disculpas por no hacerlo antes, no hago esto, pero me encantó la melodía y el mensaje que transmite: facebook.com/ned.kento
Im REALLY surprised Rob Zombie hasn't used any of their music in any of his film projects. 🤔 They're virtually unknown, virtually all of their music music has a dark twist, and their sound is so eccentric. 🤷🏻♂️ Let's go Brandon!
Tem uma tatuagem de uma cobra e uma máscara de ski no meu rosto Mas eu acordei em uma vala atrás da loja Stop 'n Go Deitado nas ervas com uma bala no meu intestino Vendo dólares voarem com a poeira Agora o sol está se pondo Derramando ouro no chão Mas eu irei sair esta noite Passando nas últimas luzes da cidade Havia uma garota com olhos negros e cabelo brilhando preto Choveu como um rio furioso pelas suas costas Mas essas ruas bem vazias, o ar balançado-se com calor Eles me deixaram faminto, faminto para fazer algo ruim Agora o sol está se pondo Derramando ouro no chão Mas eu irei sair esta noite Passando nas últimas luzes da cidade O Stop 'n Go fechou Os coiotes uivam E o vento levando latas de cerveja pela rua Agora o sol está se pondo Derramando ouro no chão Mas eu irei sair esta noite Passando nas últimas luzes da cidade
Close to the end of the video it looks like swirls of ectoplasm emanating from the head of Renee but turns out to be part of the background video or maybe they're disguised as part of the background video
Got a tattoo of a snake and a ski mask on my face, but I woke up in a ditch behind the Stop 'n Go. Lying in the weeds with a bullet in my gut, watching dollar bills fly away in the dust. Now the sun's sinking down, spilling gold on the ground, but I'm going out tonight, out past the last lights of town. There was a girl with dark eyes and hair shining black. It ran like a river wild down her back. But these wide empty streets, the air shaking with heat, they made me hungry, hungry to do something mean. Now the sun's sinking down, spilling gold on the ground, but I'm going out tonight, out past the last lights of town. The Stop 'n Go's closed. The coyotes they moan and the wind's rolling beer cans down the street. But the sun's sinking down, spilling gold on the Ground, and I'm going out tonight, out past the last lights of town.
Played this song along with several of their others for several days now. Just discovered these folks last week, I will be buying the CD,s. Refreshing, genuine and original, Thanks. Great car btw!
Well, thanks to a documentary on the Tacoma narrows bridge featuring “In The Air” I now have a new obsession and got every album by The Handsome Family available on iTunes
Being transgressive and educated, it only has a place in irony. The apologies are over, I know how you want. I apologize for my archaic English, I am not English speaking
I live in Seattle, but I'm making the trip to Portland in December for the show, I cant wait! (I'll be the 20 something year old lookin' guy, sobbing his eyes out in the crowd)
Any video that starts out at Fox's Booze and Cruise is bound to be wonderful. Glad you worked Griff's Burger Bar in there too. Love the new album, guys
Most thing ı love about this band is all of their songs are stories... I listen to them before sleep, ıt feels like someone is telling me stories until ı fell asleep.
You guys should have made the soundtrack to the new resident evil game! It would fit perfectly the feeling of rural isolation and at the same time the beauty of the countryside.
Liike most found from NPR,them and Andrew bird,some of best music I've ever heard,my uncle chick Daughtry was president of mca records from r 35 years, so I've heard a lot ,these two are just amazing
Thanks for posting this jewel from the Handsome Family. Many of you likely discovered them from the great series "True Detective". I first ran across their music in the soundtrack of "Searching for the Wrong Eyed Jesus". The sign with the missing letter at 0:57 reminds me of a sign at a steak house decades ago in Portland, Oregon called "Black Angus". It was a neon sign and the letter g had burnt out. I wonder how business was affected before they fixed it . . .
I love when I discover a new band and they have a 20+ year anthology. I am truly blessed.
I'm late to the party but wanted to comment because I 100% agree with the last comment. It's baffling to me these guys aren't super well known by now
I want to know more bands like that. Cigarettes After Sex was one I found late last year and I love them
Do you know any other bands? I would love to find some new to me music
Now the sun’s sinking down spilling gold on the ground, but I’m goin out tonight, out past the last lights of town....... very real song.
Only just heard this particular track first time today and have listened to it about twenty times in a row so far ..the joy of having aspergers and finding something you really like X
Great song
I love your songs
holy shit, a Griff's burger joint. We had one in my hometown. closed up several years ago
👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍💖❤️🇬🇷
No offense, but this song deserves a much better video.
Congratulations, you have won our 'passive aggressive dumbass video comment award.' Sorry to all who tried and lost. Rennie. The prize: a box set of Andrei Tarkovsky's greatest movies.
Coldplay's "Paradise", anyone?
I only heard "Far From Any Road" from True Detective and now I'm in love with this kind of music.
I definitely buy the new album!!
same here
Eric Schuster I always liked this style of Americana. I just didn’t realize anyone was recording it. I’m a fan of this band now.
Most of their songs are too country for me.
They are awesome! Gold reminds me of when i was 19 and robbed the stop and go.
ua-cam.com/video/1jfMSzP7SKA/v-deo.html recommendation from me
Got a tattoo of a snake
And a ski mask on my face
But I woke up in a ditch
Behind the Stop 'n Go
Lying in the weeds
With a bullet in my gut
Watching dollar bills
Fly away in the dust
Now the sun's sinking down
Spilling gold on the ground
But I'm going out tonight
Out past the last lights of town
There was a girl with dark eyes
And hair shining black
And it ran like a river
Wild down her back
But these wide empty streets
And the air shaking with heat
They made me hungry
Hungry to do something mean
Now the sun's sinking down
Spilling gold on the ground
But I'm going out tonight
Out past the last lights of town
The Stop 'n Go's closed
The coyotes they moan
And the wind's rolling beer
Cans down the street
But the sun's sinking down
Spilling gold on the ground
And I'm going out tonight
Out past the last lights of town
Merci pour les paroles, cowboy.
😊
This is more than music.
This went through my soul.
I love you guys.
i agree, best thing i heard in a long long time
MINE TOO, WOW, LOVE THEM

The drowny echo in his voice has so much character, you can hear the open of every battle scar exhume from his throat when he sings.
true detective brought me to them
Same here! (In Portugal!)
Me too
Too
Me too 🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱the Netherlands
Same
Reminds me of David Lynch! In some way.. Great!
N. -Lynch has a great feel for this genre. It’s that feeling of Lost Highways and Jungian memories of our recent ancestors.
Was this filmed in New Mexico? It looks like central ave in abq ( route 66)
Donc cette chaîne est la chaîne ’’officielle ’’ du groupe ?
Tant qu’a faire je préfère 😊
Another fantastic song! The cinematic lyrics fit the musical tone perfectly. Love you guys...and have for many years now.
"The sun sinking down, spilling gold on the ground!" ++++
Love their music just from this initial quick listen. Nice chord changes and mood music. Kind of looks like Walter White at the end with the beard. 😮😊
I think this is my favorite song on this album. Despite the whole album being amazing, I keep coming back to this song.
Watch for Brett in our fancy car at the very end!
Very nice ride. You deserve it!
Yes, when you buy the CD, LP or the download

I feel we at least deserve a Kia
+The Handsome Family Official ;)
Nice car!

This type of country/folk music blows away all the mainstream country artists by miles
I guess you could file this sound under Americana, which now is a Grammy category. It is simple and has a lot of soul, I love this tune. The man's voice is world-worn and lived-in.
I love your voices!! I am from mexico i started to listen your music for true detective and discovered so much more
Sara chontal me too,
saludos.
Just bought Singing Bones and pre-ordered Unseen. You guys rock!

Tem uma tatuagem de uma cobra e uma máscara de ski no meu rosto
Mas eu acordei em uma vala atrás da loja Stop 'n Go
Deitado nas ervas com uma bala no meu intestino
Vendo dólares voarem com a poeira
Agora o sol está se pondo
Derramando ouro no chão
Mas eu irei sair esta noite
Passando nas últimas luzes da cidade
Havia uma garota com olhos negros e cabelo brilhando preto
Choveu como um rio furioso pelas suas costas
Mas essas ruas bem vazias, o ar balançado-se com calor
Eles me deixaram faminto, faminto para fazer algo ruim
Agora o sol está se pondo
Derramando ouro no chão
Mas eu irei sair esta noite
Passando nas últimas luzes da cidade
O Stop 'n Go fechou
Os coiotes uivam
E o vento levando latas de cerveja pela rua

I love The Handsome Family, I'll come here for hours kick back and melt into the most amazing and beautiful music❤!
Damn good band

Sept 18 can't come quick enough. Handsome Family back in Chi-Town at Old Town School of Folk Music. Gonna be special!
Where have you been all my LIFE? Thank GAWD I have found you!
ua-cam.com/video/tNz-EiO3BRY/v-deo.html
Weirdly this makes me think of some of the morose songs off Springsteen's Born in the USA - Downbound Train especially
I love the new album! It was great seeing you live in Stockholm! Yay! Thanks for signing my postcard!
this is amazing.
heard this record today at a local store and instantly bought it.
greetings from germany!
This song is great. It feels so good to hear the soothing sounds of new HFam. I look forward to hearing all the new stories.
Great new song,can't wait for the album!
The masters of American Gothic. Hank Williams meets Edgar Allen Poe making anthems about America's raw, urban underbelly
Edinburgh next year...Tickets booked...Thanks to Bill Baker for his video.....
Well, thanks to a documentary on the Tacoma narrows bridge featuring “In The Air” I now have a new obsession and got every album by The Handsome Family available on iTunes
Pardon my username,
You guys are the absolute best country band.
No worries man your name is awesome.
Being transgressive and educated, it only has a place in irony. The apologies are over, I know how you want.
I apologize for my archaic English, I am not English speaking
Gin-san
Brilliant! Best wishes to you and yours.
Really lovely - the aliens haven't picked you up yet cause they're at my place eating nachos 🛸🛸🛸
Stop and go is a liquor and thangs kind of store in my town of Hawthorne/Gardena Border in California
Omg how do you not have more subs!?!? I've loved you guys forever and just found your account, did you just make it??? Answer me!!
Yes, this is a new channel. We'll be putting up a few more new videos soon too.xo Rennie
I live in Seattle, but I'm making the trip to Portland in December for the show, I cant wait! (I'll be the 20 something year old lookin' guy, sobbing his eyes out in the crowd)
True Detective - brought me to your music. Love it. All songs are almost the same, but each has its far from any others....
This is so great. Want to ride my horse in to the sunset.
We in GUBBKEPS are big fans of your music. Voices, sound, aestethics, lyrics, just awesome! Hope you come to Sweden soon!
for a band i never heard of till yesterday, i am in LOVE with this music, Suzanna here!
Any video that starts out at Fox's Booze and Cruise is bound to be wonderful. Glad you worked Griff's Burger Bar in there too.
Love the new album, guys
Greatest band but how are they still so unknown after decades?? best storytellers ever
Just some few musicians touch my heart nowadays, but Brett and Rennie have my true regards, since around 3 years ago! The "crows" loves you, Family.
they are amazing.....but they also deserve better videos!
This video is great!
I love this sound... welcome back music
love that old school revival, oF TRUE AMERICANA !!!!!
A very tasty tune. Thanks!
Your music is truly unlike anything else, makes me glad I have ears.
His voice is so unique.
Wow, this is dark - gothic folk, indeed. I love it.
I am so in love with your music.
You guys are fuckin sick. Absolutely genius.
Great,like the volebeats and the pogues had a baby!
I'm speechless.
Most thing ı love about this band is all of their songs are stories... I listen to them before sleep, ıt feels like someone is telling me stories until ı fell asleep.
Come in italy
The Handsome Family are so good they make me want to pee.
i discovered you guys from that true detective intro. i love the haunting sound of it and those lyrics are pure gold
An amazing song
Beautiful, depressing, impressive.
I plan on listening to the music they create for the rest of my life.
This video works on many levels
Thank you
You guys should have made the soundtrack to the new resident evil game! It would fit perfectly the feeling of rural isolation and at the same time the beauty of the countryside.
Sooo true man,well said
