This is absolutely my favorite Brian Fallon performance and song. It's , in my opinion one of the most underrated songs in the American songbook in the last 10 years. It DOES NOT GET BETTER.

[@KingofBenin]

This is going to reach 100,000 because I've watched it 5,000 times. I was there that night, the silence said it all

[@CopperBlue28]

I’m middle aged and have loved music, all types, for as long as I remember. Local Honey is in my top 10 albums all-time. It’s perfect.

[@goat2558]

When I first heard this song I really didn't care that much for it. Then I heard it again and I started hearing the words and the sadness in them. So once again Brian Fallon does a song that will haunt me, another master stroke from a master.

[@mrpele8110]

Wow, amazing. I miss the punk rock gaslight anthem days but his solo stuff is superb.

[@KatGraves]

I told everyone Vincent was going to be my favourite and so far I’m absolutely right about that.

[@BillyPrusinowski]

Kat Graves 🌙 how did you know? Was there a song list? Random choice?

[@KatGraves]

Billy Prusinowski the 8 song track list is available on iTunes. 1. When You’re Ready 2. 21 days 3. Vincent 4. I don’t mind (if I’m with you) 5. Lonely for you only 6. Horses 7. Hard Feelings 8. You Have Stolen My Heart

[@johnnyklassen9606]

I’m so excited for the rest of this album! His music only gets better and better with time.

[@willshogren2232]

Same.

[@Alexhannam100]

It’s definitely my favourite on this album and easily in my top 5 Brian songs!

[@blankman-nd6hp]

this is the best live version.

[@kimdee2500]

Has Brian Fallon ever written a bad song? Mad talent.

[@Alexhannam100]

No never!!

[@jimmybraum942]

Mojo Hand may be his weakest imo, but its still not a bad one

[@bobbleheadz12]

@@jimmybraum942 still catchy as hell

[@MNZGamin]

This song is elite.

[@juliaaas3807]

This is a perfect song.

[@MrVisde]

Wish this version was on the album. Sounds so good stripped down as a piano ballad.

[@TheProphetJoshua]

Brian has moved into the Murder Ballads phase of his career.

[@lorishoffmann2365]

And I love it!

[@BillyPrusinowski]

So does Jolene murder Vincent (the “boyfriend”) or does she sneak off and meet a different man named Vincent?

[@bencegyorog2897]

@@BillyPrusinowski The latter. "Wait 'til he passed out, he did it most nights I'd go to meet Vincent and to come back to life"

I cant get enough of this song. I wish this piano version was the one on the album.

[@cindy.zeller6811]

Seriously, this is by far one of the best displays of really feeling the pull of the heartstrings and tapping into emotions that might be hard to share with people so Brian does it for us. Thank you Brian

[@caseylewis8768]

Song took me by surprise. It's not a murder ballad. Glad he wrote it. I know people who were in such fucked up places in their lives or in a abusive relationship. My eyes got watery. Damn you Mr. Fallon!! :)

[@BigBoiCannon]

I listen to this song so damn much, yet i never get tired of it

[@paulwade1934]

Its just such a wonderful song.

[@Blinkavatom]

Verse 1] My name is Jolene, but I hate that song I was baptized in a river when I was young And Jesus forgives me for all of my sins 'Cept maybe that one when we were kids [Verse 2] I came from south Texas' killer party scene Somehow, the wanting turned to a needing I had a decent boyfriend 'til he got mean He'd hit me so hard that the room used to spin [Chorus] So, say that you love me before we both end up in hell I'm not asking for your forgiveness Couldn't run if I wanted to now Say that you miss me Tell me sweet, sweet little lies Humor me, Vincent After tonight, I won't be home for a while [Verse 3] And I would fly solo to the rodeo dance Cover my bruises in a Maybelline mask I'd wait 'til he passed out, he did it most nights I'd go to meet Vincent to come back to life [Verse 4] Nobody knew, but inside I'd break There was always this screaming, in between, I'd just wait One night, I suppose, finally drove me insane I stabbed him once and I stabbed him again [Chorus] So, say that you love me before we both end up in hell I'm not asking for your forgiveness Couldn't run if I wanted to now Say that you miss me Tell me sweet, sweet little lies Humor me, Vincent After tonight, I won't be home for a while [Bridge] I used to love the smell of the carnival How the tilt-a-whirl was setting us free I'm sure gonna miss the summer How the lights used to light up in me But I better go Vincent, I love you more than you know God bless you, old friend I don't think I'll ever see you again [Outro] My name is Jolene, but I hate that song I was baptized in a river when I was young

[@mattcaracciolo6282]

This song is great, thank you Brian. Great to see him getting into more story/narrative-based character studies

[@BillyPrusinowski]

Matt Caracciolo a la Lumineers I think

Maybe I watched too much Twin Peaks, but this makes me think of Shelly Johnson

Great vid. Good on you for asking his permission!

[@12dwbrf]

I can't imagine how good it feels for an artist to play something for other people that they've been working on alone for many months. Really really excited for the whole album

[@poppacooter]

epic !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@BillyPrusinowski]

I have an uncle named Vincent, and he was nothing like this Vincent, but this song is still very touching. Is that weird?

[@ahome8089]

Reminds me of “Joanna” by Blitzen Trapper

[@emmedevlin5076]

Oh wow, you’re right!

[@willshogren2232]

Just when I thought he couldn't write a sadder song.

He's going to see this as a challenge.

[@willshogren1987]

I hope so. :)

[@Jeremandre]

Can I please get sheet music for this?!?!

[@natromanz]

Thanks for posting! What does he say at the beginning of this song?

[@StandByShields]

This is Vincent. I play the anthem, you understand? Guessing we missed an earlier joke.

is this his own song or a cover?

[@enolala74]

It’s a new song from his upcoming new album Local Honey, out on March 27

[@jimpickens2577]

enolala it’s great😁

[@chrissheehan6048]

Song is amazing. I’d kill to know exactly what it’s about? Vincent is the girls lover and she killed him??

[@hotdogsandhealthpotions9337]

Elliott Innit nailed it

[@kari_325]

No. She kills the abusive boyfriend. Vincent is another guy she met.

[@adamhughes4387]

"I'd wait till he passed out, he did it most nights; I'd go to meet Vincent, and come back to life" She's married/in a relationship to an abusive, alcoholic partner. Vincent is a childhood friend (she might be having an affair, but its not clear and doesn't really matter. The friendship is the important part to her) that she goes to see to feel better. She kills the husband/boyfriend, meets up with Vincent one last time and then goes to jail.

[@MrFraccobaldo]

it's incredible how this (great) song has 4 chords and he can make some mistakes now and then

[@juancalderonortiz5512]

Imagine if the line, "I stabbed him once and stabbed him again" Meant she told her boyfriend 2 things that killed him. I love someone else and I'm pregnant.

[@Yappy2099]

🤯 that makes so much sense!!!

[@goodluck4037]

Then why would she be telling Vincent shes not gunna be around :/

[@jeremyweyant7360]

The more I listen to this it sounds like maybe she snapped and killed her abusive boyfriend and went to prison. Maybe that’s why she says after tonight I won’t be home for awhile and she will miss the summer and why she won’t see Vincent again?

[@djsguitars01]

yep she killed her abusive boyfriend but Vincent is her lover

[@michaelfleming3913]

Only thing I dont like is, who doesn't like the song Jolene?

[@Dominick_Francione]

Michael Fleming Ha! It’s a great song but it’s about infidelity. If your name is Jolene, it may not be something you like being associated with.

[@willshogren2232]

People named Jolene.
