Augustana - The Devil's Blue Eyes (unreleased)

Early unreleased Augustana or Dan Layus solo song.

[@Yanesmeister]

This is one of the most underrated songs ever, I have no doubt about it.

[@tsavolde]

a sleepless night, turning on some augustana, listening to their great music, half awake half asleep. so much goes through your head right now, stuff you thought of as important becomes irrelevant as the greatest band delivers so much emotions through your headphones right into your mind, your soul, and eventually you fall asleep, feeling solace coming over you. your life is okay, even though you often feel it isn't. you find peace. Thank you, Dan Layus.

[@Rocketmanmd]

I was lucky enough to see him preform this live. The crowd was enthralled. Amazing.

[@caramason56]

Amazing song writer and powerful song ❤️🌹🎶

[@victoriabrown6960]

This song took my breath away made me stand still !!! how beautiful is this song

[@Hey-Its-Dingo]

This song is SO powerful. I could feel the pain the whole time I was listening. LONG LIVE AUGUSTANA! :D

[@sarahrandall6508]

Okay I started crying when he said 'dont follow your daddy's bad ways' or along those lines. Dan Layus's mother was divorced several times, and he now calls a small handful of men his father. He vowed when he married his wife (after finding out she was pregnant) to never be like that to his child. I just aaaaaaaaa

No words...just wow...

[@rupto33]

OMFG! i am in tears, this song is just perfect and amazing!

[@roflmso]

Goosebumps every time.

[@asterism.x]

Heard them perform this live years ago. I think Dan said he had just written it the night before or something. Can't wait for their tour this year!

[@nathanjs55]

I was the one shouting for him to play it at the end of the show (at the Urban Lounge). He probably hasn't played it in forever, so that's why he didn't.

[@TheAngieljks]

i love this song its sad but you can feel the emotions its def a powerful song

[@marianasaroa4130]

just sad and beautiful

[@2010GLambert]

wow... incredible song...

[@OEsEben]

What a story... love the ending

[@kelsie1322]

Ah I'm seeing his live acoustic set tonight if he plays this I might break down it's so beautifully melancholy.

[@tonyolvera5391]

Speechless

[@victoriabrown6960]

beautiful

[@Hilly2826]

This is amazing but is extremely depressing at the same time. I felt tears building up when he sang about "his wife and child being shot twice." Very, very emotional and powerful.

[@victoriabrown6960]

No words!

[@ShannonQT85]

@steelpowerhouse Thanks for giving @augustanafans credit because I run that page and did give this song out there among others ;)

[@psychadelicsoul2323]

Wow, powerful...

[@ShannonQT85]

I actually saw him perform this song live years ago and I remember he introduced it saying he wrote it to put into words how he'd be feeling if something happened to them

[@xxatotalshamexx]

wow...that is beautiful!

[@amberrobyn3223]

Thank you very much indeed. ♥

[@eliza9519]

I'm in love

[@theiceman9583]

"I'm alone once again..."

[@alexhernandez2796]

He says "Cerrillos", New Mexico I think. It is a small town in New Mexico population 229. The reason he pronounces that way is because he says it in Spanish. It's really called Los Cerrillos which translates to Small Hills.

[@TheDayDestroysTheNight]

Damn the lyrics hit

[@sivan73]

WOW!

[@remail9245]

His best inspired Dylan type song....

[@milobonti4143]

[@rebman7837]

The singer ^^

[@caramason56]

👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@joydeguzman2073]

damn! i learned something from this music =)

[@amberrobyn3223]

It is Sirius Gulch. He says 'New Mexico' after it (:

[@danieljohnsonfilms]

I get the feeling he listened to 'Nebraska' before writing this song.

[@fraser_roads]

He may be saying Sirius (pronounced Sir-ee-ohhs). There is a place called Sirius Gulch in New Mexico. That's the only place I could find that sounds like what he's saying.
