Brian Fallon (The Gaslight Anthem / Horrible Crowes) - "The Blues, Mary" live at Crossroads NJ

[@missingtooth9558]

i've never been so disappointed that a song wasnt on spotify

[@ideshatred6295]

He writes some of the most touching music somehow. Every single song sang with such sincerity and soul that they cant help but touch you. Its amazing

It really is Joseph, the man has such an amazing voice and songs.

I find myself coming back to this song from time to time over the years. Beautifully haunting.

This song is incredible!

[@tthorpedo]

one of the best songwriters of our time.

[@andrewgoss1682]

aint that the truth. when i was in 4th grade, we had this sort of class preview, meet the teacher type thing before school. My mom noticed a boy sitting by himself with his head in hands. She had me go introduce myself to him. his name was simon, and he had just moved to the midwest from california. He hadn't met anyone yet. Come the school year, we had become friends. him, me, and our friend Neil had become an inseparable trio. Flash foward to high school and we were closer than ever. Climbing up abandoned buildings and walking around at night to smoke weed, we were best friends. My sophomore or maybe junior year, Simon introduced me to brian fallon; he had been introduced to him from his older brother and the gaslight anthem. I heard "smoke", and immediately fell in love. brian fallon was absolutely my favorite artist. his relatable lyrics, raw vocals, and gorgeous instrumentals had taken me by storm. the summer before my senior year of high school, I had started talking to this girl named ava. We had gotten pretty close and a relationship was forming. that summer I took her to a party at the house of neil, where she decided she liked neil more than me. neil said he was not going to date this girl that had been brought to his party by his best friend. I was rather upset, having talked to this girl for months, only for her to decide she doesn't like me anymore. A few months later, She had began dating simon, whom she had met at the party. Simon and I remained friends. we had classes together senior year and even worked together once covid hit and school was cancelled. I still talk and hang out with neil regularly, but i haven't heard from simon in over a year, not for lack of trying. I'm a little drunk rn so I'm sorry for the rant, its just hard to listen to brian without thinking about simon. We used to be so close. I miss him, and I don't know what I've done to upset him. I hope he's doing okay.

fallon makes me wanna be a better human, a prophet of life

[@FrancieMoon9]

I'm Brian Fallon's biggest fan! He is literally inside my heart....forever. I love him.

[@aesstricker]

That line..."of course I smiled, it was bright like the ramparts on the fourth of July.." Somehow in this version, it hits me right in the heart every single time. Brian just has the magic way with words and the way he delivers them.

[@JamesGreen06]

I met this man 2 years ago. Went to the gig he did at a record shop in Nottingham instead of the main gig that night as I thought it would be more intimate. I just shook his hand and said thank you.

[@FrancieMoon9]

I could never have handled that. I would probably pass out...

[@CheshireCesare]

He’s pretty chill! I remember a group of us hung around after a Gaslight Anthem concert and he came over and took pictures with us.. He even put his arm around me when it was my turn! 😍 A cool guy, for sure ~

[@Super-wy5sm]

That guitar work by Ian is so haunting yet beautiful at the same time

[@nartparet9460]

His guitar work makes it very haunting

[@76scarfoot]

It's hard to even begin to describe how much I love this song and utterly moving this video is for me, I hope Brian Fallon never stops because songs like this can move mountains

[@redmoonrecordings]

Nobody gives Alex enough credit on this song. His keyboard fits so well into Ian's slide playing that they sometimes are hard to differentiate, but the space would feel much emptier without. Beautifully haunting.

[@ISWJoeyD]

Old ass comment to reply to but I remember watching just Alex in Toronto during their 59 Sound reunion and realizing that second to Brian's songwriting, it's Alex's musicianship that forms the soul of TGAs sound. It's why Brian's solo stuff sounds a little different, Alex adds a darkness and curiousity, and explorative quality, to Brian's structured storylines. That sound is what makes TGA sound how it does. They're all musicians in their own right

[@predator92lol007]

This video is amazing. Especially when the crowd sings "Cries like a baby". Brian always has this genuine facial expression. You see that he really enjoys it.

[@richardpine8011]

Infinitely better than the recorded version I'd heard previously. So much pain in his voice.

[@andrenaw.7221]

2022… and “I’m somewhere over the Rainbow for you…” 🖤🖤

My heart hurts in the most beautiful way for this song

[@zacpalmer3561]

I want this as my funeral song, hauntingly beautiful

[@mitchellcurd7471]

It has been added to my funeral song list...not to mourn death but to celebrate the divine passion of life and music...his voice and lyrics hauntingly raw and honest...and cuts to the ❤️ ...

That Guitar by Ian is just so haunting.. Goog god.

[@earlierthoughts]

Great audio and video quality, and great performance. Ian's subtly sweet slide guitar contributed considerably to the song. Thank you for posting this!

I learned how to hammer, In the burning August sun, I learned how to lie and cheat, How to steal and just how to run, I fell asleep most nights, Somebody elses blood on my tongue, your tongue, You learn just how to run. But It's just the blues, Mary the blues Swirling around my head like your dreams in Dorothy's shoes, I'm somewhere over the rainbow for you. I learned how to cry, In them lonesome September nights, I learned to get by, With the dogs and the dirt and the charm of the street I fell asleep most nights, With your pictures right behind my eyes, your eyes, The killer and the victim, Right at the same time. But It's just the blues, Mary the blues Swirling around my head like your dreams in Dorothy's shoes, I'm somewhere over the rainbow for you, But It's just the blues, Mary the blues Swirling around my head like your dreams in Dorothy's shoes, I'm somewhere over the rainbow for you. And cause your smile, Is bright like the ramparts on the 4th of july, And my baby swings like a boxer, And sends her right hooks under my chin, She crys like a baby, And she wears me just like a ring, Crys like a baby, And she wears me just like a ring. I'd rather go then watch you leave I learned how to swagger, I learnd how to hold you while your body burn, I learned how to compromise, While this world went hurrciane turn, We fell asleep most nights, With each others blood on our tongues, My love, Have you ever just had enough? But It's just the blues, Mary the blues Swirling around my head like your dreams in Dorothy's shoes, I'm somewhere over the rainbow for you, And It's just the blues, Mary the blues Swirling around my head like your dreams in Dorothy's shoes, I'm somewhere over the rainbow for you. And It's just the blues, Mary the blues, Swirling around my head like your dreams in Dorothy's shoes, I'm somewhere over the rainbow for you.

any guitarists in the comments, camera man obviously doesn't think so. I got capo on 4 key of G (so really B) but it sounds like some strings are not hitting the same melodies, as if it's a drop tuning but on the treble strings. Any hints?

Eli, are you sure? I Googled the track listing for his solo album and it's not listed as one of the 12 songs. Did he re-name it? I've also looked for other versions of the album with extra songs on I-Tunes to see if it was there (which Gaslight did previously with Get Hurt), but there's just the standard release.
