16 Horsepower - Poor Mouth

[@merkraad]

whoah i was standing in the audience .First time i saw them, never heard of 16 hp before. But this concert was so good i just had to buy everything i could find of him afterwards. Worth every penny.

[@jesusistheonlysavior1642]

one of my favorites. . I feel blessed to have found this band

[@blackeagle6268]

Yes

[@SelfDestructMr]

Mesmerizing...haunting...gloomy. Gotta love David Eugene Edwards.

[@thehumkj]

this needs to be released on cd/dvd URGENTLY

[@Richard64T]

I've seen and heard them playing so many times, both 16 Horsepower and Wovenhand, everytime amazing. Great music, David is really great, I love his music.

[@boysawyerjames]

Ever heard of the Denver gentleman

[@andydanneel6545]

Wovenhand so lovely but 16 Horsepower my roots, ooh every day I listen to them , 2 CD 's super

[@davidpao3906]

Sackcloth 'n' Ashes Low Estate Secret South Folklore and some live album and Ep... 😉 Try the first David Eugene Edwards solo album: Hyacinth! 😉

[@handyeric4]

people of my generation who can't find new music as good as the 60',70's well here it is

[@ajshdhenskaka]

Cringe

[@birdynumnumgooner]

probably my favourite 16 Horsepower song, i think the lyrics are beautiful, thanks ErikJan

[@peterlagios4286]

The forces of power and music lined up in the world once again. This band is great.

[@ploukusa]

I´m a gonna need a "love"-button for this...

[@jesusistheonlysavior1642]

ploukusa ♥

[@bbirmi69]

such an amazing band. i never get tired of hearing them!!

[@pabloochando9806]

Amen!!!

[@IviRebova]

this violin is killing me... so beautiful

[@despoinatoulanta720]

I still love Edward as the first time i listen to him

[@nikosg.3523]

Πολύ καλός, έτυχε να τον δω σε live το 2013 στην Ολλανδία.

[@roelarets]

Saw them first time live 19 years ago in Effenaar Eindhoven. Still one of best concerts I have been to.Wovenhand coming later this year, have to get Some tickets.

[@grom231]

Is anything as lovely to me As the truth in love I'll take it over freedom any day It brings me ever an this time to my knees An on my knees I run away Yes I know your sticks an stones they They will easily break these bones an An all my words come back to haunt me I will put my strength into The things left standing I am hoarse with wild eyes No debts outstanding

[@simonmooijman5928]

His liove fur god he great

[@organicate]

If I was pushed for my favourite 16 Horsepower song, this would be it. Epic on a transendental level.

[@tsimpoukia]

I feel we are damned as a generation those who will never have a chance to see these guys live

[@AzureMonk]

Secret South is my favourite 16HP album and the album that moves me most spiritually.

[@jacobdejong3200]

Hello alex, i'm jacob, Secret South is also my favourite 16 Horsepower-album, but sometimes i'm more in the mood for heather nova's music and words, both great artists

[@ginakatsilieri6159]

Τον αγαπώ....Αγαπω την μελαγχολία του, αγαπώ την σκοτεινια του, αγαπω την φωνή του που σηκώνει νεκρούς από τον τάφο τους....

[@utbhav]

Normal people mic check : check check 123 Edward : so by now i guess you're wondering uhh......

[@funktripunk]

A proof that music never stops evolving

[@SirTheory]

Oh man, what a great performance. I mean, 16HP always delivers, but videos don't always capture it right. This video does about as good of a job capturing it as I've seen.

[@tholey1990]

I wish i was born 15 years earlier than i'm now (i'm 24)...Than i could have had the chance to see this live...

[@timhansen4556]

+Thomas Leysen David Eugene Edwards created 16 Horsepower in Denver, Colorado in the 1990's. In the early-mid 2000's, he formed Wovenhand, which still tours regularly in Europe and a bit in the US. Check them out!

[@Kkourou]

I'm the same than you. Between this one and RATM, I needed a decade earlier ...

[@donramonito]

Absolutely hypnotizing music and vocals!!!! Outstanding !

[@GreySeasonOfficial]

Oh my god, this is the fucking best band in the world, Edwards is the best Singer alive! I love this band

[@chrisquartararo2458]

Have a cassette given to me from a friend a bit ago seeing this is surreal :) thank you rick..

[@merkraad]

Hmmm was there in the audience, on my way to St Germain. But just couldn't go until Eugene was done. Hooked on this ever since and listned to him so often that i kinda blame this band for getting my unreligious ass babtised and going to church. But this music translates God's power even more clear to me then all that. Bless you eugene !!!

[@simonmooijman5928]

David love god that's right

[@laodikea]

This is one of my all time favourite songs.

[@greedholymoney]

i saw DEG open for swans in new york and at first i thought he sucked, but after a few minutes i was absolutely captivated. what an awesome performance. i'd like to see him again.

[@hermanhumbu3339]

Svaka cast majstore!!!!

[@anthonyourbrother]

Inspiring and timeless. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. 🙏

[@clauricaune]

It's Elin Palmer on violin, as it says on the description. The video is from 2000 anyway: his daughter wasn't very old at that time.

[@DaSmooth]

@shadyman2000 - maybe it's better for them to stay like this. They are well hidden legends and I think that's great. All genres have these kind of amazing bands, all the way from techno to rock to hiphop to folk to no matter what genre someone likes and the best is to be found there. So don't worry, people with a nose for good unpolluted underground music, know where to find it.

[@paulelliott3220]

Brilliant song from a great band

[@murielclerc5887]

i'm not speaking english very good but i'm so alright with you. David is so genials. i love this music so mutch.

[@Roel9331]

jesus, i hope to see this live !!!!!!

[@onsetaugust]

Awesome, God-fearing dude. Glory be to God! "Take it over freedom any day."

[@sommerseeflimmern]

Wanted to thumb some comments up and realized that I already have. I must have been here before 😄

[@nativdesign5658]

floriimorii thanks bro....you got me hooked on this 20 something years ago...

[@StingerFSX]

My favorite 16 Horse Power song along with Sinnerman...

[@peteford2434]

NOT SURE IF I HAVE THIS COMPLETELY RIGHT BUT HERE IS WHAT I HAVE. Is anything as lovely to me As the truth in love... no I'll take it over freedom any day It brings me ever an' this time to my knees An' on my knees I run away Yes I know your sticks and stones they They will easily break my bones an' An' all my words come back to haunt me I will put my strength into The things left standing I am hoarse with wild eyes No debts outstanding My hands are yours my brother You can take my coat as well My eyes are yours, sister And my heart, and my heart In which he dwells Heard the voice of my master callin' me From deep in the hollow Said that I must follow him there yeah Is any place darker for me With all them wolves about Well it's a poor mouth that I wear My hands are yours my brother You can take my coat as well My eyes are yours, sister And my heart, yeah and my heart In which he dwells

[@sibbele25]

Bedankt voor posten Erik Jan !! ..magistrale band, doodzonde dat ze niet meer bestaan..maar we blijven hopen???

[@peters855]

[@lastofthesane]

[@cathymullaert4069]

[@FaithDead]

@shadyman2000 I think we should be glad. Keeps it exclusive. Love it

[@TheTenant]

It's Elin Palmer playing the violin here.

[@johannooyen3213]

I've been to one of their concerts (Ancien Belgique in Brussels), one of the best concerts of my life. Only Prince & Maceo Parker were better. Oh, and the Skattalites...

[@pierric2748]

You sure have good tastes in music :)

[@johung7894]

love it!

[@Dystisis]

a girl sent me this. we were together for 5 years. i still think about her.

[@jimweiss]

I would too

[@fsharp9585]

Edwards' voice, in my perception, is vaguely reminiscent of combination of Peter Murphy and Wayne Hussey...What an insanely great band.

[@leescuderi8331]

I can see that. He definitely pulls from early goth influences. He mentions it in the documentary about him. You should watch it. Nick Cave is another he mentions.

[@LETIR67]

and Jeffrey lee pierce

[@MeroveeG]

oui! above all Jeffrey Lee Pierce! It was so incredible to discover 16 HP just a few months after Jeffrey Lee's death (April 1996)

[@Nudiescorner]

The Gun Club....Mother of Earth song..one of many masterpieces

[@StingerFSX]

My favorite 16 Horse Power song along with Sinnerman... Να κανουνε live τα παλικαρια στο σουρουπο και να ακους να λενε αυτο το κομματι... Τι να πεις και τι να κανεις εκεινη την στιγμη...

[@chrisquartararo2458]

As they start gave a tee shirt to the Netherlands Nana !! :) another :)

[@CCKruse]

the violins playing remembers me to John Cale

[@brendancoyne6736]

I concur

[@wruff378]

[@Storkas]

agreed.

[@songwordgirl]

@thecarnygo i do beleave that is his daughter. biggest possible fan of theres

[@timhansen4556]

Any opinions on DEE's tuning for this haunting song? Listening to his beginning open chord (he's fiddling with a pedal or some other gizmo with his fretting hand), I'm hearing D-G-D-G-Bflat-D, from top to bottom.

[@SargonnasIncarnate]

Imma hearin' goosebumps on the run, bottom to toe.

[@showmethewaves]

ca me prends au bid tellement c 'est bon mmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!

“It’s a poor mouth I wear”

[@SosOaspm]

[@gomer1560]

Come to Russia please!!!!

[@tearofforchids]

...or as Dylan Thomas wud've said: Bible black..

[@1976Carnivore]

Waanzinnige opnames van pinkpop...

[@josephallen2856]

the music is ok but i cant take the pseudo-religious posturing

[@czarzenana5125]

I still have a problem with the Christianity of the singer and songwriter. He is brilliant, but this God thing, better not.

[@rcrztt]

This is my first and probably only comment on youtube, but I felt compelled. I'm not an atheist because I just don't care all that much, but I'm definitely not a believer of any stripe, and that's part of why I'm so drawn to DEE's music. It's fascinating to see someone reckoning with the brutal, bloody, almost gothic facets of Christianity, the ones that dictate that all you must do is seek God, but in the same breath tell you that you're hopelessly flawed, you'll never be worthy, and that you deserve an eternity of torment. People like David Eugene Edwards, who take on that feeling of torment while they're still alive and make incredible art out of it, are usually my favorite artists. I don't feel anything like that conflict, and I'm glad they can articulate it. Cormac McCarthy, Philip K. Dick, SWANS in a way, Exuma, Krasznahorkai, Will Oldham, Jackson C. Frank, Roky Erickson, etc. So much brilliant work might've stagnated without the fatalistic drive to appease an evil Christian God, or at least a visceral understanding of it, and I respect the people that turn that hopeless misery into astonishingly good music or literature. Maybe that's the route of the intelligent believer, and those without the capacity for self-examination are the ones we should be watching out for. And just to reiterate, I don't believe in Him, but I think it's safe to say that the version of God we're talking about here is a petulant monster. I don't mean to ramble or lecture, I just find this stuff fascinating. Cheers.
