Cody Jinks | "Which One I Feed" Lyric Video | The Wanting

[@robertbarbosky4477]

This song is based on an old Cherokee grandfather teaching his grandson about life. Grandfather said there's a fight going on inside of me. It's a terrible fight between two wolves. One is evil he is anger, sorrow, Envy, regret, arrogance, self-pity, greed, guilt, resentment, inferiority, false Pride, superiority, and ego. He said to his grandson the other is good he is love, joy, peace, hope, sincerity, kindness, empathy, benevolence, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. Grandfather said the same fight is going on inside of you and inside of every person to. The grandson thought about it for a while and then said which one will win grandfather the old Cherokee replied which one you feed.

Diggin it

[@anonanon8974]

Love it! I would have never known this is what this came from! How sad! Thank you so much for enlightening those of us who were ignorant. 💜

[@nicholaswhitney4204]

This text is based on bullshit from my grandfather

[@bobcamp6924]

Well which one

[@lesbabcock26]

My grandma also told me this. She was Cherokee as well

[@KD-rn3bs]

Fighting for my soul right now. I slipped after being 1 year sober. Time to really fight again...I am a warrior....please dont let me walk alone.

[@kameronharper5124]

Hey you got this man. Sometimes people slip you just need to keep trying. Keep trying and keep trying and eventually you’ll be doing. Keep your head up you are so much stronger than you may know.

[@tork9646]

Walk with Jesus, my brother, and you will never again walk alone.

[@valerieramirez3496]

Addiction is a symptom. What helps the most at least in my opinion is getting away from the noise and the lights and being willing to dive deep in yourself and see the things you've been avoiding. Horses help to. If ever interested in going really deep look up Carl Jung.

[@roguetexan6865]

As humans we ALL fall. Just keep getting back up and moving forward. I quit more times than I care to admit. Finally realized that my entire life, many people said I was the most stubborn people they'd ever met. I figured if that's right then I'm stubborn enough to quit. January 1, 2015 at approximately 1:00 am I put that stubborn to work. First 3 - 6 months were rough, then it was a few years before I felt strong enough to be around people who drank. HOLD FAST.

[@zerill11]

I love Cody’s fan base, I never see anyone arguing and everyone is humble. It’s just a great fan base to be in.

[@guilhermecadima4201]

because most of them are adults or people who has a real life, hard one, real problems and Cody's songs are like a whiskey dose in a end of a hard day

[@NathanErtznerMusic]

There is no need to argue, especially over good music partner. Have a good day.

[@nathanfox3876]

Right

[@MM-qi5mk]

We know real country and are grateful men like Cody Jinks are around to keep real country alive baby !!!

[@leonardzeigler9510]

Cody won’t sellout!!

[@jeffstewart7992]

One evening, an elderly Cherokee brave told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. “My dear one, the battle between two ‘wolves’ is inside us all. One is evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority and ego. The other is good. It is: joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith.” The grandson thought about it for a moment and then asked his grandfather: “Which wolf wins?” The old Cherokee replied, “The one you feed.”

[@wncmtngirl]

I like the version that you need to care for both. Do you know it?

[@MrAdeptusMechanicus]

I feed both. Sometimes one more than the other. This allows you to weather any storm. Key is to have them balanced.

[@davesharpe3846]

If we would all stop and think! This song is so true

[@Tim2112-r7h]

Love this story Indian folk lore makes since good and evil

[@cynthiamassey5237]

Have heard that too👍

[@dererzahlerchris3416]

thanks for this song

[@michaelwilcox4662]

"I am the eagle screaming for peace, While the beasts on the inside sharpen their teeth." Shit that hits me hard. Especially with today's current events.

[@FAITH-FAY]

Which one do we feed??? These few words have such a powerful meaning.

[@DanielKieft-ju3ek]

Love this song it helped me alot to calm and happy ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@MoonFlowerCreations]

Beautiful song Cody. ❤ Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it. ~ Psalm 34:14.

When you feed the good but everyone else feeds the bad that's what I've been going through

[@carlosvergara2114]

Same here! Just gotta feel the fulfillment for yourself that you are feeding the good. Stay true to yourself.

[@justinmyslive4108]

This song is basically about internal conflict we all have with ourselves. We all have good and evil in us. The one that you feed is the the one that will thrive

[@Nightmission1961]

Cody jinks knock it out of the park last night. I have seen him 3 times this year. And last night in ashville nc was a royal treatment went till 1130!! Had wife in town was so great to see.him happy and have his fans sold out .... Cody jinks hands down the man when it comes to country! Lynard Skynyrd band you warmed up earlier this year a last tour for them what a great man to send off the greats! And seen you in Charleston SC earlier this year! If your reading and don’t know the man. Better get 2 beers and sit or you will miss a great moment. Always the man!!’ Thank you from us Veterans this Veteran’s day weekend you made our weekend last night 8 Nov2018. ☝️

[@aaronvickers7472]

Saw him in Orange Beach about a month ago... absolutely unbelievable show. Top notch

[@AronaathWoW]

This song needs to be played as a tribute to our troops.... god rest and god protect every single soul of the men and women that protect us.

[@Bo-gi8zw]

Amen 🙏🏻

[@kristaberck6821]

I knew this artwork was a play on the good wolf/bad wolf dilemma. An old Indian man told his grandson "in every man, there are two wolves, struggling for control of his soul." the grandsons response was: "which one wins?" the answer: "the one you feed the most" this is one of your best, cody!

[@willardhoward5141]

Good words. That internal battle. As old as humanity itself. That existential dichotomy. The Yin and the Yang. But which one to feed? Why not both?

[@kristaberck6821]

Willard Howard you should feed both, but not overfeed either. you may need the bad wolf someday and he must be ready when that day comes, lest you become food for someone else's bad wolf.

[@nategarcia5604]

I am the river that flows through my veins I am the black crow, I'm wings of change I am the rock that the rain couldn't conquer I'm above, I'm below, I am hell and high water I've been the song carried in on the breeze I've wept with willows and I've fell with the leaves I am the badlands and the silence it holds A warrior who walks but is never alone There's a black and a white wolf in me And I live and I die By which one I feed It's a war old as time, this fighting inside And I live and I die By which one I feed I am the hunted and I am the hunter I am the feast and the famine, the hunger I am the eagle screaming for peace While the beasts on the inside sharpen their teeth There's a black and a white wolf in me And I live and I die By which one I feed It's a war old as time, this fighting inside And I live and I die By which one I feed There's a black and a white wolf in me And I live and I die By which one I feed It's a war old as time, this fighting inside And I live and I die By which one I feed Which one I feed I am the river that flows through my veins I am the black crow, I'm wings of change

[@sethhughes2163]

No doubt that I feed.... thank you for this iconic ballad! Seth

[@stevenbrooks7776]

I dont have the words. WOW! Cody Jinks will go down as probably one of the greatest country singer of all time. Unreal voice, and the songwriting is incomparable!

[@cindydavenport514]

Thank you for knowing what i feel in my soul, INDEED

[@altond.1854]

Everyone is fighting their good and evil in them. Love Cody! Sing along everyone

[@drakegeisert147]

There’s a black and a white wolf in me and I live and I die by which one I feed it’s as old as time this fighting inside and I live and I die by which one I feed

[@marcusbortz2358]

I will never quit playing guitar nor would have started without you Cody jinks. Gotta be both wolves sometimes to get where you wamt

[@danielwright7805]

Josh Morningstar is a fucking lyrical genius

[@JoshMorningstar]

D W thanks man.

[@adamlewis3743]

A fucking genius indeed. One of the leaders in the resurrection of country music. Lucky for us.

[@paulmullen2637]

I am battling addiction and currently in treatment and read the Cherokee story of its origins last night in a meeting and blew them away. And I found that story because of this song. I listen to it every morning to start my day.

[@morganbacorn5671]

Cody Jinks is an amazing artist And I can personally relate to “which one I feed”

[@WhiteRabbit-gs9wu]

This song activated me. Is it just me or all us different beings from haltom city? Lol I know this song is about something I go through every day. Cody Jinks thank you for this song it has helped me out so much. Too see my truth. Much love to you and your family 💞

[@valerieramirez3496]

Its amazing the peace this song brings to my soul.

[@williamknight5419]

Cody jinks is a great musician and the first song I ever heard him sing was cast no stones on KZbin and I resonated with that song so well. people use the good book to tear people down but what they need to be reading is the one written by lao tzu 500 years before Jesus was born and until then they will continue to do the same, it's hidden in plain sight but no one's open enough to read it, quite BRILLIANT, DO THE TAO DO IT NOW ;)

[@randybridges7365]

Awesome song Cody Jinks

[@robinsimpkins1882]

Amazing song the one and only CodyJinks the man of country music Yessssss

[@Midget-xv2wm]

Cody jinks! One of the only country singers "Whos gonna fill their shoes"

[@cantinerosvp]

I agree.... along w/ Tyler Childers 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@mtnmama4076]

Another is Eric Church

[@Jabooty_Williams]

@@mtnmama4076 oh I like Eric church but hes too pop. Not as traditional. He hasnt gone full blown pop country he has a good mix. But I dont think he is filling the shoes of country music legends. He is acquiring shoes of his own that someone must fill when he is gone. I think eric church will be a country legend of his own whereas cody jinx fills the void of traditional country and keeps it the way we love it.

[@roberttrammell7472]

Amen to that

[@melodeeluna7185]

Thank you Mr Jinks for this beautiful song! ♥️

[@jimclouser3372]

I was explaining this to my 13 and 17 year old grandchildren not long ago. They didn’t quite get the idea yet, but I hope they’ll remember the conversation when they get older.

[@davidmclaughlin8209]

As a recovering alcoholic this song hits home

[@MM-qi5mk]

Man this song speaks to me so much.... some years have been good, some years were bad.. all depended which wolf I fed. Right now the white full has a full belly ! Hope the same for y'all too!

[@johnhale3206]

Saw him as opener for Skynyrd in Alpharetta ....became an instant fan...

[@joshuabell2433]

I love this guy, he's great. I came across him by browsing videos on here, and I have been loving it ever since !

[@emmett1365]

Man i love the artwork and of course i love cody jinks we're the same age and I know I've felt what he sings about

[@Jarodjackson1998]

Is it bad I find this relatable on so many levels. The black Wolf for me is the PTSD, alcoholism, and angry side, and the white wolf is the one who tries to be good, clean, firefighter/EMT on work on time, and church goers. Constant war between the two

[@mshippy9856]

I love this man, he's so talented🖤 REAL LIFE🤘😎

[@obozomustgo5449]

Already my 4th time playing this one and it just posted. Not sure it’s even possible for Cody to make a bad song. Killer music just keeps on flowing.

[@Evierambin]

The light burns and the dark wraps around me in a warm embrace so I find it hard to pull myself out of the darkness.

[@Evierambin]

Is that what the wolves represent? Light and dark? Or is it physical vs ethereal? Awake vs dreaming?

[@texasted73]

the greatest song I've ever heard in my life!!!!!

This man is a poet!!!

[@scottbak769]

You mean the songwriting duo?

[@ricardomaldonado7686]

Literally my soul in a song... Thank you Cody!

[@jewelsquinlan333]

“Peace, my son, is the Cherokee mission in life. A man or a woman who has peace inside has everything. A man or a woman who is pulled apart by the war inside him or her has nothing.” “How you choose to interact with the opposing forces within you will determine your life. Starve one or the other or guide them both.” So what about you - which wolf have you been feeding lately?

[@cliffkrauel5966]

This song is deep it really hits home for a man like myself!!!
