Dekkar - Empty Bottle [Official Music Video]

[@JDizzle785]

This was the soundtrack to my senior year of highschool. Back when ROCK was REAL and men were men. Classic jam, rest in piece little tom cruiser heidecker, you aint comin back

[@neonfroot]

Actually, that golden era you're taking about is the 1970s.

[@fintanbochra]

@@neonfroot - As an immortal shapeshifter from Irish mythology, I can confirm the real golden era was from 600-700 when the lute was formed from the instruments brought to ancient Sumerian settlements in late 6900 bc. The guitar is not from the same discipline as the lute, but it truly changed how music makes people feel.

Once a wise man said, “When you are happy you enjoy the melody, but when you’re broken you understand the lyrics.”

[@SeaHorseGypsy]

This is one of those songs like "smells like teen spirit" that changes music forever. Dekkar broke through the wall of stagnate corporate bullshit and woke America up. I'll never forget where I was when I first heard this.

There are songwriters and there are story tellers. Tim, Axiom, and Manuel know that the rock is more powerful than the sword. That a gentle tune can soothe a monter. The president of HEI network taught me a lot about being middle aged, and yes guys you can still have a second youth at your family's expense. You need to fill up that emptiness with what makes you happy.

noah fence but the on cinema/decker series, empty bottle, farewell tom cruise, our values are under attack, and the 2nd oscar special oscar fever song have brought me so much comfort during a recent really hard and distressing time in my life as silly as that sounds but it's brought me lots of joy and laughter and i've been able to spend my time engaging in the content with someone who i really care about that introduced it to me during that time so thank you so much to tim, gregg, and the whole crew as a whole for everything. i listen to all these songs all the time because i truly enjoy them even though they were never meant to be taken seriously. it's all so special to me

[@jedi.in.christ]

also "noah fence" is just a play on words for "no offense" and it's ironic bc there's no offense to be taken but it was a meme/popular way of starting sentences on stan twitter usually when someone is being serious about something that maybe they don't wanna be seen as taking it "too seriously" so that's the idea behind why i said it lol the struggles of vulnerability...

Tim proves not only does he have the once-in-a-generation finesse of a legendary frontman, but that he also understands the cyclical nature of fashion trends - masterfully pulling off the "mid-2000s contestant on a VH1 dating show" look like no one else has dared to even try in over a decade.

[@q.mothcompany9252]

I remember exactly were i was when i first heard Empty Bottle. It really resinated with me because at that moment in life i in fact was a empty bottle drained of everything left in my life. Needless to say I was checking out life on the dark side as well. Long story short this song saved my life and everyday i wake up I thank Axiom Manual and most of importantly Tom Hiedecker for saving my life through the power of music. Thank you all. Rock on from the bottom of my heart.

[@Webeteam]

(Tim-believer here) Tim's been a true inspiration. They say ''it takes two to make a thing go right'' but Tim knows all too well that he acheived everything that he has by himself. He could easily cut off Gregg and all the other people that he's carried through hell and handwater, but he hasn't because they would likely combust along with their silver-platter entertainment careers that Tim pity-fed them. They should all be on their hands and feet gravelling at his driveway because without Tim's kind hearted nature they would be deadmen walking telling no tales. The fact that Tim still gives his friends chances speaks volumes of his character. Love u Tim ur my hero

Amazing to see the metamorphosis this hit has undergone over the past few years. From the club anthem 2.0 to the urban metal maze that 3.0 gave us, Empty Bottle is truly the Bohemian Rhapsody of this generation. The gift that keeps on giving.

I'm learning software development right now, and for those who don't know much about that, you often do something called a "git checkout".
