As an alcoholic. This song makes me feel justified and proud. I might be missing the point.
You just won the internet! I am dying here! :))))))
Bob smith may very well be disappointed in ya but I sure as fuck ain't
I feel you 👍
Yup
Hey man you do you. But I will say the better a reason for you to self medicate, the more it is a bad idea.
I first heard this song years ago on an indie radio station at 4am. I was driving home from my 3rd shift job, through a deserted area of downtown. It roared through the airwaves and lit a fire within me. It saved me from a very deep depression. I don't know why most things happen, but I will be forever grateful that this tune just happened to crackle through the ether that night. If anyone reading this is having a rough go at it, do not give up. You can find yourself again. I promise.
I just was bored at school and randomly searched up “son of a bitch”
Greatest search I ever made
Have you ever thought about writing? That's a good short read, I like the description and word usage. Poetic.
I'm happy that this music helped you.
Also, good for you
Amen brother
Got chills reading this. 🤗
First time i heard this song was on a mexican coc xanax & 4 loco binge in Houston tx. Setting in a parking lot wanting desperately to get clean, this song plays. "My heart is breaking, hands are shaking, bugs crawling over me" described exactly how i felt. & in that moment i didn't feel alone. .
4 weeks later tx Marshalls showed up at my door.
Thank God for redemption & supernatural transformation. I'm now 6 years clean.
Congratulations! I just had 20 years of benzos for insomnia, which disabled me and had me housebound and bedridden. I quit them - I was addicted, though I only took them "as prescribed" - and to my astonishment, got my life back. But being on them for 20 years made for some spectacular hallucinations, so I too underwent a shamanic journey with supernatural forces aiding me. I had a goddess helping me taper off - acting like some sort of supernatural sponsor! I'm so glad you got clean. I've been off 10 years, and it took going back to the trauma, grief and stresses that were the reason I took them in the first place to stay clean with the hell that is benzo withdrawal. I learned to write them out, shake and dance them through and out of me, and befriend the most challenging emotions instead of running from them. Bless Peter Levine and his trauma work, and my women's trauma group! With their help, I could revisit the worst scenes in my life - fully feel the repressed emotions, release them and heal them. Good for you and I'm SO glad this song inspired you to quit!
Congratulations! Feels good, doesn't it? I'm 10 years off clonazepam myself. Took it mostly as prescribed, but I was completely dependent on it and it disabled me for 20 years. By tapering off that and 4 other equally useless prescriptions, I got my life back! Facing the grief and trauma that led me to med and learning to heal that has helped me stay clean. 6 years is a long time -- you're on the right path now!
I'm a 78 year old English lady (and I don't drink) but I absolutely love the passion and performance of this song. Keep playing it.
Agreed
210 days sober, I'll never drink again, I'm sure I went through my alcohol quota faster than most so I'm all done now
I am 63 yr old French non-drinker also--but we've certainly known guys who could've written this song (if they had Talent) & that's what makes this song/performance great--and a splendid hoot to boot!
@@JanetDaley-solo My favourite is Never Get Old....not sure if that's the exact title! Love it!
I'm an Irish non-drinker! This vibes of this song are 10/10! :)
My dad died at 74 years old two years ago, this was his FAVORITE SONG! He used to make me play it all the time! My dad was a heavy drinker, but an even heavier smoker... So here I am on my second fathers day without him, enjoying a joint & listening to this song, I love and miss you dad! This is for you!
If you see this comment while struggling with addiction, I want you to know that it is never too late, I believe in you, I pray for you, and someone loves you. Amen.
Fredrick Allen Smart, my dad.
R.I.P
Have a virtual hug from me.
Lubbock Texas sends PRAYERS may DAD R.I.P😎
R.i.p. to your pops🙏🏻
🍺
Awwww 🥰. Love that!
God Bless. They say the pain gets less overtime. It truly does. I don’t know how.
But it does. Or it at least seems to. ✌🏻
Byw, I’m 61. Your dad was truly in the good days! For me the 70s were just as good but that’s because I was a little kid in the 60s and didn’t know what I was missing out on, and still got to enjoy ALL THE MUSIC, having much older sister siblings!
Once an alcoholic always an alcoholic. Been sober 32 years. And this song still rings true.
Anyone trying to get clean, I’m proud of you 👍🏼
Proud of you too!! Effort 👌 💪 🙂
very proud of you my brother, I am embroiled very deeply in my battle with the bottle and have yet to conquer it. Congratulations to you sir, you did what must be done.
@Askew Hey Askew, don't give up! I'm 10 days clean after downing close to half a handle of vodka every day for close to 2 years. My withdrawals were so bad that I thought I was dying and ended up in the hospital.
They gave me a prescription (some type of benzo) that I could slowly tapered off of over the course of 5 days. It is honestly the only reason I'm 100% clean right now.
Once you make it through the physical withdrawals, the cravings will still be strong. Just remember to breathe and drink water whenever the stress starts welling up and don't reach for the bottle. It's one of the hardest things I've ever done but I feel a million times better. If I can do it anyone can.
Just got my 2 Year chip what a ride
@@bill8699 congrats, I'm almost a month away from 1 month clean. It feels so good not being physically and mentally dependent on that poison anymore. I feel like myself again.
“Now for seventeen years I've been throwing them back
Seventeen more will bury me”
This line is what started my road to sobriety. I remember trying to calculate how long I’d been drinking and realizing it had been around 17 years but also knowing I wouldn’t live more than a few more if I didn’t stop.
Been sober for about 6.5 years now.
To anyone struggling with alcoholism know that you are not alone and that it’s never too late to stop. Life is a gift.
I think I'm at that point right now, that line just keeps hitting harder and harder...
@@NagnarInaste I can tell you that my life now is infinitely better than when I was drinking. If I can do it anyone can. Good luck to you.
So glad you're free of it , and still with us.
Blessings upon you.
Stay strong and stay well.
Peace
1.5 years for me , I had to quit my body started to shut down and it scared the hell out of me!! But I'm thankful I quit, never felt better in my life!!!
@@NagnarInastehow are you coming along?
65 year old Canadian woman sitting here this evening watching the snow come down while listening to this tune. (Heard it on 'Goliath' and looked it up.)
Whoa.
Thank you, Nathan. Thank you, Night Sweats.
Driving with my 5 year old sister in the car while this song plays, she's clapping along and bursts out, "SANDWICH! GET ME A DRINK!" I haven't laughed harder and I doubt I ever will.
That's hilarious
Brought a grin to my face!
I needed that laugh!
lol too funny sounds better her way lol
Someone should make that video....
I feel like I just watched Shawshank, Oh Brother Where Art Thou and Blues Brothers all in one sitting.
Seems like an homage to the Blues Brothers to me.
+Jorge Munguia i think it is
+kylefer Not Shawshank, Oh Brother, Where art Thou.
+Steven Beazley I watched it yesterday, what a movie
+kylefer I been REDEEMED! *grin* Loved your comment!
Sober. Sane.Twelves years This song made me stand up and dance in my room. Just excellent.
I'm about to go to rehab. This song is awesome. Hold my hand yall.
The hardest time is the first month.
If you still have your phone in rehab, I'll be here for you.
Sorry youtube doesn't have direct messages anymore.
Thanks!
Why? U put yourself into ur situation, hope the best for ur recovery but am never gonna hold an addicts hand
@lslice5283 just friendly, not sure why someone would not want to help someone in need and letting the world know about it as well. I nice hug or a good hand shake never hurt anyone. I'm not really sure how to take that comment. I do certainly hope you enjoy your morning/evening/ night.
@@lslice5283 and please learn how to spell. Best of luck with your grammar.
I just love the way he says "son of a bitch!"
It's not offensive nor insulting at all, it's almost endearing haha
Yes it is!
Well yeah it’s not directed at anyone it’s just used as an exclamation
He's directing it at the bartender
@@marctozie1092 I always spelled SUNOVABITCH
My mother would agree.
I set this as my ringtone. It starts out "SOB gimme a drink!" it went off in an awkward meeting and broke the ice and eased the tension. Love this song.
Excellent ring tone for judgemental and obnoxious relatives. Remember folks, healthy boundaries 😊
😂😊😂😊😂😊😂😊
A long childhood in church tells me that this is Revival music! I'm on my way to the Altar!
In his younger days, Nathaniel did perform with a gospel rock group.
"My heart's aching, my hands are shaking, bugs crawling all over me".
This was me about 9 years ago. Everytime I romanticize my drinking, I come back to this song to remind me of where it will end up.
I hope other's struggling to get sober find something that works for them. Keep seeking, keep trying. It's worth it. You're worth it.
It will all end up with a hit single?
Always play the tape forward brother
Bruh I was there 10 months ago. Doing so much better now. Do NOT miss those withdrawls.
While I've not had an issue with drinking, I do firmly believe that this song has been a public service to folks........and it's a great tune to boot!!
It's probably time I gave this song some public love. I finally shook the booze. On my journey from bad to worse to being afraid of stopping, I have wailed this song over and over with all my lungs. This one is a keeper for time past ours I think. Impressive piece of music in every way.
Proud of you keep up the hard good work
One day at a time. Drank for over twenty years and today is two years, four months and two days.
SCREAM IT AS LOUD AS YOU CAN! Beat the bottle. You can do it. If it helps a stranger on the internet is proud of you. You got this!
Keep coming back... WE GOT THIS
Stay strong, sister
Definitely the most cheerful alcoholic anthem ever! GET ME A DRINK!
SON OF A BITCH!
Everyone needs something to believe in. I believe I'll have another beer.
Actually its about quitting drinking. He says:
Son of a bitch, give me a drink.
One more night, this cant be me.
Son of a bitch, if i cant get clean
I'm gonna drink my life away.
For 17 years I've been throwing them back
17 more will be bury me.
That's definitely about struggling to stay sober.
I can relate. Been sober 17 years. Love this tune, as I do "Freedom" by Shinedown. Definitely a Blues Brothers vibe to it!
blues brothers is exactly what I see here, and I love it
This comment section beautiful. So much love!
For those still struggling I recommend bookmarking this for the song obviously, but also to read the the comments and know that these are very real testimony from people in your exact situation and the strength that can be found amongst each other is way more powerful than you will ever believe. But I guarantee you will feel it if you just never ever give up.
Relapses happen to some. The only failure is to quit trying to recover.
Progress not perfection!
The greatest upbeat, feel good song about living through a wide awake, living nightmare of epic proportions. It takes a lot of talent from a lot of people to pull this off. And they get bonus points for the Blues Brothers video. 🤘🏼
Every now and then, maybe twice in a lifetime, a song comes along that is so perfect, so pure and distilled, that it earns your undying love. Like this one.
Elidoransgar 🤗🤗
EXACTLY how I feel about this song!
Otherwise known as ever song "The Score" wrote.
ikr im havin a hair of the dog rn clappin to this tune i love it
Elidoransgar try 'when I'm drinking whiskey' by Rusty Cage, makes me cry
this song really helped me alot through rehab..
october 2019 i will be clean for a year :)
to anybody that's fighting an addiction. life is worth living.
Sending you all the strenght in the world!
Edit: Wauw thank you all for the nice responses, deff did not expect this. your comments give me strenght to keep going.
Congrats! Keep coming back!
Keep gettin Jelly. Not easy but just do it one day at a time. December = Lucky 13 for me
💜
10 years sober and counting!
we believe in you buddy 👊 💙 there's always a reason to keep fighting and keep going on.
After 30 years of hard partying with periods of sobriety and clean living I packed it in at age 45. Next month 60 and the past 15 years have been a blessing. To anyone struggling, once you decide, freedom awaits you… peace
Hope I reach your maturity one day. I'm in the throws of it but Ive talked to enough ex alcoholics to realise the problem.
Wish me luck, I need it like the rest of us... Until then...
Son of a bitch, get me a drink.
You all have the strength to stop anything within your lives but death! Alcohol brings death no matter what our minds tell us. Ignore those demonds and focus on you second by minute by hour by day by week by month by year...
As a psychiatric nurse working on the addiction department, I'm taking this song to perform together with some clients 😅 Wish us luck!
have to upload it
As a previous client, from somewhere else, I approve this! 😅
I can't think of anything worse when detoxing 😂 just give them librium & let them sleep.
I hope it went great!
Maybe just play the song lol
Rateliff and his gang are nothing less than sensational. One of the most original sounds in ages. His music and lyrics reek of authenticity. Love this stuff. Gets you where you live. If you any soul at all ... and "Need Never Get Old" should be the national anthem for boomers (and everybody else for that matter)!
Gerry Lantz while I agree he's sensational, it's hard to agree with "original". He's doing stuff that's been done for a long time and has been done recently as well, but you might not have heard it. This music is an extension of R&B of the 50's and 60's with a good dose of Soul and pure Blues from generations before that thrown in for good measure.
The result? Good old fashioned Rock & Roll. Sadly that's a genre that's been so spread out and corporatized as to not mean much of anything anymore. I'm sure that's what you meant with your comment, and you were just saying you haven't heard something like this for a while. Regardless, you don't have to look much further than what Jack White has been doing for the last decade or so to find a contemporary (no matter what you might think of the result).
Either way, I felt the need to respond in case anyone else didn't know- there's stuff like this around- you'll just never find it on broadcast radio.
Authentic, like you said, is the best way to describe it. He's clearly making music like it should be- from deep within his soul. And likely from some pain. That's why I think it creates such a reaction from people like us that are open to hearing that in our music.
Gerry Lantz I wouldn't say original. More so classic.
Compared to the rest of mainstream music nowadays it might as well be Sanskrit.
Gerry Lantz. a fucker u jew looking fucker well said and written inpress
Gerry Lantz If you get a chance to see them live, it's well worth it.
I saw them last week here in Portland and they were AMAZING! Some of the best R&B I've heard in years!
Any band that has a horn section automatically doubles their "bad ass" rating.
blueslove61 reel big fish?
Good Wood
Why you gotta shit on my rainbow?
Hell yea!!
Yesssssss!!!
blueslove61 it's called Ska..check it out bro
My son is 6 years old when he was in diapers and just learned to walk this song came on it was the first time I saw him actually dance lol I have it recorded he couldnt help himself lmao great memory thank u Nathaniel haha
So many of us have been where he was when he wrote this song! And yet we haven't had the wit and talent to channel that experience into something as unique and special (and reflective of the experience) as this song. Great job, Nathaniel and the Night Sweats.
Awesome vibe. If this ain't played at my funeral then I ain't going.
LOL!!! Yup :)
Hellz to the yeah!
Dear and precious, the 1st time I heard this song I was in Austin listening to Sun radio. All of the people in Miss Judy house were initialed to have the opportunity to change the radio station if it started to yoldle. My house was a happy house that evolved into a trap house. Ohwell so much for coddling the homeless....but Sweetheart this song united the masses. I am enthralled and I wish I had the opportunity to meet your daddy
Thanks for the idea, I'm gonna demand it be played at my own funeral too! Much to the dismay of family I'm sure but who cares, I'll be dead, Hahaha!
We got a runner!
Nathaniel I know this will most likely get lost in the comments, but this song played a major part of me getting clean and staying that way so far. This song helped save my life.
It gets better believe me. It’s always a day at a time.
stuart Borrero thanks man, oh I know. Got 4 years now, but only by the day. Never forget the “bugs crawling all over me”.
zackfielder
The feeling of having shared in a common peril is one element in the powerful cement which binds us.
Listen to aic wake up great song
Wether it gets lost in the comments or not, glad it helped you! Keep on!
I don't know why, but I love this song!
Nathaniel Rateliff, with his voice, his build, his energy and his style of music reminds me a lot of John Belushi as Jake Blues.
I'm glad I'm not the only one to hear the similarities.
@@tiltz7275 You're not. 30 years ago, this would have been a key or two lower and the Blues Brothers would be killing it!
I wish John was still alive. He could be the son of jake Blues in a sequel movie.
Great inspiration of the end of the Blues Brothers!
My Grandpappy once said to me, "Boy! You can't drink all day unless you start in the morning."
Logan Cracraft a wise old man. Hats off to em
"Either you're fun for the day or lonely for half"
~me
@@emperorpringletine50 dang, that hits the soul. You are in the right place 👍
Good man! 12 o'clock somewhere!!!
Grandpas are the best drinkers out there
It's got the right amount of blues and rock and damn this song is so freaking good.
Hell yeah it is
He needs an award
This is super dark but that moment of pure joy at 3:08 is the exact feeling when you’ve try to give up the bottle and you go for that first drink. Stay strong to all those in sobriety!
💯
My name is Nathaniel and I’m trying to get sober, I’m a few days in and these withdrawals are fucking killing me. This song is helping me get through it.
Edit: I relapsed because I’ve been dealing with a lot of shit in my life but I realize that drinking is only making things worse. I’m not going to give up, I’m going to give it my all to stop, I can’t keep living like this. Thank you all so very much for all the kind messages. I’ll keep y’all updated on my journey and I hope that anyone else that’s struggling like I am finds the strength to quit.
U CAN do it! Praying for u...
Good luck!! You can get through it!!
Still praying, Nathaniel.the 😊
You can do this, Nathaniel. I don’t know what you’re going through with alcohol (my vice was cigarettes, and after open-heart surgery - 5x bypass - I quit cold turkey ten years ago), but you’ll make it through. Focus on the goal (kids, job, etc) on the other side of it.
i wish you the best of luck (L)
i heard this in the car today and couldn't breathe
Water you doing here
Why
+HarborGamez It's an expression from the retards at Tumblr.
+sweatshopkids haha true
Same with me first time I heard it
When I first heard this in my car, I nearly drove off the road in laughter. Thank you, Mr. Rateliff. I still love it.
Heard this for the first time last night. Awesome song! It hits home for me. Been sober 4 months.
This tune epitomizes why I love the blues. It's a genre of music that deals in the unvarnished truth about the basest of human experiences, urges and emotions, and it somehow does so with poignancy and even humor while conveying wisdom. It's raw and honest. If you don't believe me, read the hundreds of responses here from alcoholics to whom this song speaks. It's far more than a rockin' tune.
Beautifully stated … 👍🏻
Bro, I never thought of it that way but you’re right, the blues are about the base emotions, not candy coated at all.
We know... God bless us all. It DOES bring hope and meaning!
Epistemologically speaking, I am 100% with you! I now realise why I love this song so much - and did not have a clue about the ramifications underpinning my preference for blues.
I didn't consider this a blues song, but you're right
Last night the boys and I shouted this at the bartender. Sure, the bouncer threw us out, but the other patrons laughed like it was the end of the world.
What, is that the first time You've been 86'd from a bar?
HisDukeNess Let's just say that there's few bars in town for me and the boys.
+Aramis419 You sound like annoying fuckwits.
marty slackjaw Depends on the bartender. The one we love and respect. The other is...well...not very likable.
I think you might improve the happiness of the other bar customers if you and your "boys" drank at home.
I love this song! It’s so moving. Really sums up the struggle. ‘Bugs crawling all over me!’ The book “Living Sober” helped me a lot in the early days. It has basic & concrete advice for how to stay away from that first drink, just for today. It took me 2 years to get 90 days. Then I had a year sober. Then I had a year again. Then I had 2.5 years. Today by the Grace of God I have 20 years. I still have “just today” though. I am so grateful to be alive and free today. It gets easier. Also better than I could have ever imagined. It’s a new life, a different life, & I’m a different person. God bless those still sick & suffering. You are not alone.
Our 43-yr old alcoholic son is moving back to his mom & dad's for the zillionth time today. He's had 2 marriages ruined by drinking. 2 long term live-in situations ruined by drinking. 2 children, aged 21 and 15, who want nothing to do with him. I believe he became committed to drinking after his first episode of getting smashed as a teenager. So many "rock bottoms." So many, "this time sobriety for sures!" I would sure like to not do this anymore at age 71.
Just saw your post from 11 months ago. I hope things are working out for you & your son. I hope he finds a recovery program to give him guidance and support. Also, Al-Anon is a good resource for the loved ones of an alcoholic. There’s the saying about when an airplane is in turbulence, and the oxygen masks come down- you have to put the oxygen on yourself before you put it on your baby. In other words, you have to take care of yourself. Sometimes that can mean tough love. Wishing you peace and strength so that your journey may get easier 🙏
This song made me run out and buy the CD when it first came out. Love everything about Nathaniel Rateliff he's a genuine singer. I wish him the best in all of his future endeavors. 🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸 Virginia, USA
Im British and I've never heard anything like this before. Its like country mixed with black church music.
Love it.
Look into The Blues Brothers. It's a band that started as a Saturday night live skit & they were so good they made a movie & several albums as well as toured in the late 70's to 80's.
Where do you think country and black church music come from?
Both originate in musical traditions of scots irish immigrants in the deep south. This tune hearkens back to that.
Well welcome to south darlin’. 🙂
@@brittonhucks5951 thanks 😊
@@StudSupreme wrong lmao
10 years sober here. Congrats to everyone on this thread who got and stayed sober. I know how hard that shit is, especially when alcohol is everywhere 24/7
Drink isn't like drugs. Drink is socially acceptable and you will be around it every damn day of your sober life. It takes a will of iron to resist it. Im proud of each and every one of you. And yeah, I'm proud of myself too.
4 years now lol
@@chiefthunderhorse4430 This year has been a bitch to a lot of people in recovery. You are not alone. Personally, I dont think people have to restart the clock after a blip. Its not the same as when we first started is it? When we first start our sober journey (I hate that expression, sorry) we do it from being at our lowest ebb, our very worst, rock bottom. We were drinking and it was killing us. Falling off the wagon isn't the same as that lowest ebb. Not even close. So I dont believe you should restart the clock. You have 10 years of work under your belt and to disregard it for a stumble is, well, bollocks. 10 years and a blip. Start from there. I mean damn, its only through my sheer stubbornness that I havent succumbed. Well, stubbornness and fear that if I start again, I won't stop. You have been incredibly strong for over a decade. A blip is allowed. Do not let people judge you for it. X
Who writes the rules to sobriety anyway? People who want to make money from our pain. This is why I've never been to a meeting or followed steps. I have 10 years and done it alone. Fuck rules when its your life in the balance
@@jellybathwater wish my partner could do it too. It’s hard living with someone who can’t. Keep well.
@@christine6878 Its especially hard for families of alcoholics. Heres the cold hard truth from a (recovered) alcoholic herself;
You do not come before alcohol. Getting a drink is No1 priority. We don't think of anything else. We don't even enjoy the drink thats in our hands because we are worrying about the next. Loved ones do not take up space in our thoughts unless they are buying. In drink we are the most selfish people on the planet....and we don't care.
You cant make him quit and for that matter, you cant use love/kids/even death to make him stop drinking. We know alcohol will kill us, so if we are not bothered about our own lives, so how do you think your life factors in our thoughts?
You cannot make him quit for anyone. It doesnt work that way. Quitting for someone else never works. Hes got to quit because he wants to.
Rock bottom is not real. People have this notion that if they wait for someone to reach a certain point, things will magically turn around. It almost never happens. Some people have a near death wake up call, this is true. But these are just stories. The hard fact is, rock bottom is death for most of us.
If you enable him, he will use you until there is nothing left. He will drain your soul if it got him another bottle.
Don't think this is a disease. It is not. And it will be removed from the DSM-V as such in the future. (There are plenty of arguments in the science community. Read about it) Alcohol is a choice. The disease part came because they want to sell sobriety (a multi billion dollar business). A disease is physiological. Like cancer, heart disease, etc. You need medication for diseases. For addiction, you just need to stop. You cant just stop having cancer can you?
But,
Alcohol causes disease, you can make your liver better by not drinking (I did)However, there comes a point of no return.
Finally. There is a choice and its yours. I know you probably still love him but that man is no longer there. You are waiting for him to come back and the truth is, people rarely come back from this. I wish it were different for you. But like I tell all long suffering families (im a therapist now) You have to think about your life because at the moment, you arent living and eventually his addiction will consume you entirely. Im sorry for my frankness, but I have this overwhelming urge to not pussyfoot around. People need to know the absolute truth of what it is really about. I wish you all the luck in the world. I also recommend that you talk to someone about what you go through on a daily basis. He may be the alcoholic. But you are the one suffering.
My brother identified our brothers body at 16.......he drank hard until he couldn't drink another. Died at 48. Rip Rex. He would have loved this song. He was hard and full of pain.
Hi Kim💐💐
One of the best songs that not everyone will understand.
im so glad great music artists are still out there somewhere amidst the trash that this world somehow finds in itself to call "music". rock 'n' roll / swing music cant die. thank you so much for existing! I love this!
amen pakachawa
This is so generic why do you think it's on commercials and radio this isn't "great music" it is mediocre at best.
then why are you here?
+porky6884 I was showing my fiancé that the song the Lipton commercial has swear words in it lol I heard it on the radio and thought i had to show her. Since it sounds all gospel but he says bitch a good amount of times.
There are so many good artists out there. Just because they aren't as mainstream doesn't mean that you can't find them, you just have to find the right communities. JD McPherson, Leon Bridges, Gary Clark Jr., ect....
17 years ive been throwing them back. 17 more theyll bury me. Ive never felt something so real in my life
I heard someone do this for karaoke. Jammin! The whole house was clapping and dancing
Lyrics I'm gonna need someone to help me
I'm gonna need somebody's hand
I'm gonna need someone to hold me down
I'm gonna need someone to care
I'm gonna writhe and shake my body
I'll start pulling out my hair
I'm going to cover myself with
The ashes of you and nobody's gonna give a damn
Son of a bitch
Give me a drink
One more night
This can't be me
Son of a bitch
If I can't get clean
I'm gonna drink my life away
Oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Now for seventeen years I've been throwing them back
Seventeen more will bury me
Can somebody please just tie me down
Or somebody give me a goddamn drink
Son of a bitch
Give me a drink
One more night
This can't be me
Son of a bitch
If I can't get clean
I'm gonna drink my life away
Mhm, mhm
Mhm, mhm, mhm, mhm
Mhm, mhm
Mhm, mhm, mhm, mhm
My heart was breaking, hands are shaking, bugs are crawling all over me
My heart was breaking, hands are shaking, bugs are crawling all over me
My heart was breaking, hands are shaking, bugs are crawling all over me
My heart was breaking, hands are shaking, bugs are crawling all over me
Son of a bitch
Give me a drink
One more night
This can't be me
Son of a bitch
If I can't get clean
I'm gonna drink my life away
Son of a bitch
Give me a drink
Son of a bitch
This can't be me
Son of a bitch
If I can't get clean
I'm gonna drink my life away

How do 19 thousand people listen to this and dislike it? That takes an effort to listen to it enough to dislike it based upon the tune, or displays an obvious racial prejudice towards the soulful, gospel vibe running through it. Bloody love it! UK getting it!
This is fucking brilliant and he was 37 for his debut album, which shows how difficult it is in the music business. Incredible artistry and creativty.
It’s made with real instruments and real musicians. It’s not Charlie Puth!!
That's not true, he played in a band called Born In The Flood and released and album in 2007, then began a "solo" career and released two albums one in 2010 and another in 2013. Finally he collaborated with the Night Sweats and released this album in 2015. So no this was not his debut album
i like the music but i wouldn't call this the epitome of creativity lmao people will say anything
@@mikigamba true, I've been listening to him since 2009 ish. But this is definitely his breakthrough album, which still shows OPs point about music industry being difficult. In fact, if I recall correctly, I read somewhere that he was almost at the point of giving up and this Night Sweats album would be maybe his last. But it was such a huge hit, he was able to continue. I personally like his solo efforts more. But he's super talented for sure.
My 37 year old daughter turned me on to this band, I'm 65, so impressed that they are for all generations...
This song brought me in... the rest of his music kept me here.
I don't care what kind of mood you're in - this song definitely has the power to get your hands clapping and feet stomping.
I love his facial expressions and carefree moves. How is this man so effortlessly cool.
Yup. "Effortlessly cool." Hot.
I was coming here to write the same thing!! I LOVE his facial expressions and the way he moves (not to mention his voice!!) In their video for "I need never get old" I especially love the look on his face when the drummer is at the mike! I think he could have a career in the movies! and you are so right Prothope ..."effortlessly cool" indeed!!! He is my new crush!
He's being real. That's the thing.
+Adam 1 My guess would be that he's an active alcoholic.
Prothope ikr
Anyone else getting a Blues Brothers vibe from this?
I was thinking that exact same thing. It's his dancing I think.
Totally, the names that pop up are in the same font as the Blues Bros and the credits looks pretty similar too...
If I remember reading correctly, the end scene of The Blues Brothers is the inspiration for this video. Sort of a tribute to the movie.
absolutely
Steve Duncan I believe that.
I'm a relic from the MTV generation so its nice to know a great song can still make a classic video
This is our anthem....those who know... know
My daughter introduced me to this group just 3 days ago......in my seventies now...this group is definitely old time rock and roll ...this song & their performances are great !
My son in law introduced this group to me. I am also in my 70's and I totally agree. Love the sound!
Yes they do have that feel
Dennis Fontana bless your soul darling. They don't make anything like they used to....and I'm only 41. Happy returns from Australia
same here, but not 70 yet, lol.
Amir Frost that's gold man😂😂
My 18 month old son and I heard this song on the way home from work/daycare yesterday for the first time. Apparently we both immediately fell in LOVE with your music! It was obvious after I found him clapping along to the song th entire time... Dancing in his seat... And singing "ooo ooo"! We both had smiles from ear to ear and when the song was over... He cried!!! I had to immediately find the song online and we've listened to it at least a dozen times since then with the same reaction!!!
Beautiful music you're creating!! Thank you for helping me introduce my little boy to the joy of the sounds!
+Brenton Sullivan, when and where will he be in Boston??
One. Your son is a one year old.
Just say a year and a half i hate people that say the age of their baby in months damn
+Samantha Sarvat Strange my 1344 month old son had the same reaction...
+StrongManMattt 112. Your son is 112 years old.
You can always tell a good song when the 'most replayed' is at the start
Just saw him in concert. IT WAS AWESOME! Full of energy.
I absolutely love how this song isn't about love, heartbreak, or any of today's typical subject matter. It's about an unapologetic alcoholic who wants a goddamned drink.
if you don't like this song you don't have a soul
or you have different music taste
yep
No doubt.
+Loki shut up. You're the adopted brat Thor didn't want. Fuck you
CosmicCookie24 Fuck you, I'm better then Thor
Funny enough, this song came out the week I got out of rehab. Could not have been better timing. It's brilliant and sums up everything I and millions of others have gone through.
I'd rather live 40 years and know how this songs makes me feel than live 80 and wonder just saying
I love this song. This is a song that will stand the test of time. There is so much soul pouring out of the lyrics. Pure American heritage!!!
+Amanda Dillow Pseudo-soul
I read this comment right when the webber barbecue commercial said "stand the test of time" on TV. That was creepy lol.
American Heritage ?
I think I took this on a whole different way being an opiate addict for over 7 years I just thought maybe he was withdrawing LOL I think I took this on a whole different way
+Mario Rivera i heard it as them singing about addiction as well :D but still a great song
I would like to be friends with everyone that likes this song.
Edit 5+ Years Later: I like coming back to this comment, I feel like we have built a small community of really fucking cool people! (P.S 18+ only please)
+lee denbigh I want to be friends with everyone who wants to be this guy! That voice! Damn!
+lee denbigh we can all knock some back
+lee denbigh ok fine
+Stock Loc he's my cousin😂💘☺️
Buddy!
Just hit 10 years of sobriety 5 weeks ago. It's been the very best days of my life and it just keeps getting better. I'm a Blessed man indeed.
As an alcoholic who wants to sober up, this is exactly how it feels. "If I can't get clean, I'm gonna drink my life away." Somebody please just tie me down or somebody give me a goddamn drink
29 months sober and I still have days like that.
@@emmalowe1132 Congratulations on your sobriety! I'm happy for you. My best run was a year and a month
I wish you strength to overcome this horrible disease..I truly believe it is genetic that goes back generations..I say this because I lost 3 brothers to that damn alcohol..one in a car wreck, one with liver failure, and the last his heart gave out due to decades of drinking..they all drank like my biological father, who in fact was a horrible, mean alcoholic who never was in our lives until years later..his father died of it in his 30s and his father was found in a field, passed out on moonshine and died of winter exposure..
I pray for you Dakota and all who struggle with this horrific disease..🙏❤
you got this shit dude. you can do it. its really hard i know. stay strong.
@Dakota Smith Hey dude i want an update on how you are doing.
This might be the cheeriest sounding sad song I've ever heard.
semi-charmed life by third eye blind is another one like this
What about pumped up kicks?
Crash and Burn by Thomas Rhett is the same way
It's certainly up there.
"I hate mondays Boomtown Rats
HELL YEAH GIVE THEM A FUCKING AWARD THING
MR.GAJEEL REDFOX Yes PLEASE! They deserve it, it's been a long road for Nathaniel & Joseph.
A drink, perhaps?
omg I agree to I love this they disurve an award seriously this is amazing
Once society labels you an alcoholic it is with you till buried.no matter how long you travel that road of being sober.
I have been sober since 12/6/2001. I have not known this artist prior to stumbling on this and 2 other of his videos today, 7/22/2022. This guy is awesome!! I haven't stumbled on much new (to me) music lately. Love this!!
To juxtapose the darkness of alcoholism with an upbeat melody successfully is no easy task, but they've done it and it's brilliant. Love this song and love my upbeat, alcoholic soul mate for sharing it with me. ; )
+JessicIt a Marino It reminds me in a strange way of Semi-Charmed Kind of Life. It's uplisting, but the lyrics are soulfell and sad Addiction is sad.
Such a tune!!!
Love it as well spencer
Spencer FC Uncle Spennnyyyyyyyyy
Spence!
Spencer FC SNAPCHAT RADIO!
+Spencer FC :D the fifa playa! is up in this b***h
Blues Brothers would be proud.
Happy Saint Patrick’s Day!
Love this… old time gospel blues feel.
Gotta have great music and fun!
Anybody else old enough to hear the Blues Brothers doing this with John Belushi?
Me too 😆
Don’t blaspheme in here!!!
Just need Joe Walsh on the table
I'll be back for you.
Hell yeah!
Drunk people make the best songs
yes
yessss
my sister told me to write this horsssssssssssssssssssssssssssse
das cuz when you been to hell an back, you got a deeper understandin o life
One year sober and just found this song. I’m in love!
Hi Emily 💐💐
Hello @emilystock3732,
How're you doing ?
Thanks for being a fan,
It's nice meeting you here.
Why do I turn into a ding dang finger poppin bobblehead doll when listening to this band. This tune is mad catchy. Love these cats.
The visual...
"bobblehead doll"
😂
I rode on a plane from San Diego to Denver last night with Nathaniel and his entire band. Very cool.
My daughter lost her battle & drank herself to death almost 3 years ago. Strangely, playing S.O.B. over & over brings me great comfort, when I'm missing her so bad I can't stand it. I clap & dance
I'm so sorry for your loss, I really am
Sorry for your loss, She died a happy woman
Yea chrissy you 3:08
@Voice of truth i drink a lot but not enough to stop me from working and living my life until lately
cirrhosis comes fast
Lots of people have parents and friends that deal with alcohol problems, but to call someone a dumb ass for stating an obvious fact...what does that, make you in turn...
I think the only reason this song does have even more likes is because you cant help but start jamming from the start!
I got sober while liking this song 😂
Same brother just I fell and then added this to the anthyme
WOW. I thought this kind of music was dead forever. This guy is a GODSEND.
Crushing alcoholism brought me here :D
Andrew Erickson :'D
Andrew Erickson cheers to that
Andrew Erickson cannot stop laughing that haha samesies
Andrew Erickson 😳
Andrew Erickson AA is for quitters
My step dad of 25 years came to my grandsons birthday party and blasted this song. He got away with it because of who he was. We lost him to colon cancer a year and a half ago. It doesn’t feel like it’s been that long. Wow. He would have loved this video so I come by here often to spend a little time with him.
Hi Lore 💐💐
I sang this at karaoke in Jamaica. What a blast 🍻🎤
"Bugs are crawling all over my skin" is a line written by a man that's gone through the DT's. Hits home lol. Love these guys
I totally know what you mean. The instrumental part of the song sounds so upbeat, but the subject matter tells a different story. DT's hits home with me too.
Yep. I did detox and there WERE bugs all over the bed. Worst 2 week nightmare and I haven't had a drink since. Almost 3 years ago. I drank for over 20 years.
Colin Huff chill on the meth bro
Fuck yeah it does. Really does hit Home.
You said it!!!! lol only someone that's experienced it could write those lyrics. He talks about on Austin City Limits.
I legit played this song over and over while going through actual alcohol withdrawls. It helped.
Not clean, but drinking less. for what that's worth.
Hey man hope your doing well with that.
That is hilarious. But also worth my concern. Hope you’re doing well.
Hey i drink everyday and pop pills ive finally realized i got a problem its bad i wake up brush my teeth but then go too the store and buy a 18pk ive never felt so bad in my life im going too rehab soon how did u overcome it all
@@HeinzTheBaronKraussVonEspy right on man i just feel so hopeless rightnow thankyou from the bottom of my heart i appreciate u
THIS SOMEHOW EMPOWERS ME AND MAKES ME HAPPY!!!
My grandson and I dance around like fools when we play this!!!
One of the best bands i've ever seen live... In a sweaty packed standing concert. Just electrifying.
I couldn't take a photo because the ground was literally bouncing beneath me, i couldn't keep my hands still.
This is the kind of music we need more of. The kind of music that'll get a whole pub on its feet clapping and stomping. It's impossible to not sing along to this. I'm definitely an instant fan!
This song use to hit me hard when I drank. Then I stopped drinking when my daughter was born and I love this song even more. Everyone can turn things around
I hope everyone gets what they need to be truly happy
💯🙏
