      hes behind everything today is basically trash, but shakey he knows what real music is and its music from the old days when people actually had problems and not likes on the internet

      He is a great example of hard work and talent. He does this because he loves it and it shows in his music. I feel that passion for originality in music is somewhat forgotten. Shakey is refreshing because of his sound and talent. At least...that's why I listen to him.

    It's hard to put into words how good of a guitarist Mr. Rose-Garcia really is when his entire ensemble remains so enchantingly mesmerizing. Thanks for all of the quality uploads KEXP.

      Doubleuballs "they're runnin the jail for profit these days, thats what they say"

    • @Elticdestroyer
      @Elticdestroyer Před 3 lety +2

      I think it's about how he goes around meeting these people, some good, some bad. And he gives a part of himself away to these people and over time it starts to get him down that these people never give him anything back. Basically a blues song about one-sided friendships.

    Found my fingers up north in the forest of the fir
    Yeah I blame them woods for all Ive learned
    Well I watched my wits walk west where the money is earned
    Just to strut my stuff and wait my turn
    And I have often thought that these old bones
    Should just go on ahead and break if they gonna
    These old shoes should just go on and give out
    They're running the jail for profit these days
    Thats what they say
    Lost my lungs long ago in the belly of the beast
    Yeah I got my gall from the boys back east
    Yeah I sing sweet songs with the throat that belongs to her
    Yeah she wears my heart and wears my words
    Got these lips from the girl next door
    The only problem is they only beg for more
    Sold my skin for some fancy clothes
    I thought Id get a better deal but thats the way it goes
    And I have often thought that these old bones
    Should just go on ahead and break if they gonna
    These old shoes should just go on and give out
    They're running the jail for profit these days
    Thats what they say
    Put all the rest in a hollow tree
    Yeah fill it with cement and let me be

    Is there any way to download this recording?

    • @LexMassive
      @LexMassive Před 7 lety +3

      savetube dot com. Paste link, choose mp3 (up to 320KBS) or MP4 video (up to 720p). Diverts you to another site (cloudfile) where you select if you want MP3 or MP4. Then it converts and downloads automatically. I am practically backing up youtube with this free service. Just in case.
