Dr. Dog - "That Old Black Hole"

[@earnesac]

No comments on the lyrical content? “ I put on my clothes like a body guard” “ I don’t wanna fight but I’m constantly ready” don’t we all feel like that ?

[@davidschopp9134]

Every lyric is fantastic. Tough to quote just 1 or 2

[@hermanshula9449]

But can you sing this song acapella?

[@ABRAHAMCA]

That Old Black Hole Dr. Dog I put on my clothes like a body guard I put the dogs on patrol in my own back yard I don't wanna fight but I'm constantly ready And I don't rock the boat, but it's always unsteady There's an elephant in my head And I tip toe around it There are eggshells on the floor Therefore I never touch the ground It's like that old black hole, No matter how you try, You set out each day Never to arrive I got my eyes on the prize But it looks just like a mystery And it all goes by on the lonesome trail to victory I'm drawing in the blinds, I got my own four walls And the show really starts once the curtain falls Take this thorn from my side Fix this chip on my shoulder Time is racing with the clock And I ain't getting any older It's like that old black hole, No matter how you try. It's like that old black hole, No matter how you try. It's like that old black hole, No matter how you try, You set out each day Never to arrive I put on my finest thread And I wrap up my body tight With the sun in my eyes I step into the night Like the mystery in the dark Oh, it's just another kind of light I don't expect you to believe me But everything is alright I don't make rules for a living I don't do tricks for a dime I was born on a good day, Deaf, dumb and blind. Who am I to tell the truth? I don't even know what it is. I don't know how to say it but I know that I can show you. I don't know how to say it but I know that I can show you. I tie my boots up tight And I head straight for bed There's a pistol and a crystal Underneath my pillow There's a tender heart Inside that ugly armadillo "These are tears of joy, " Cried the weeping willow There's a spirit in the air And there ain't no way around it I was not prepared to lose it On the moment that I found it It's like that old black hole, No matter how you try. It's like that old black hole, No matter how you try. It's like that old black hole, No matter how you try, You set out each day Never to arrive

[@Nate_H.]

One of the best songs on the face of this earth.

[@davidschopp9134]

I am pretty sure I have listened to this track about 50 times n a row on multiple occasions. I completely agree it's one of the best tracks ever

[@johnfarrell8832]

It's pretty good

[@lazymajora6876]

I was not prepared to lose it all the moment that I found it. Best lyric in any song for my by far.

[@ThrasherGnar]

Most meaningful lyric for me as well.

[@Nastard2]

How you feel as your heavy mushroom trip begins to dissolve and your brain goes from racing with incredible ideas to tired and grasping for even baseline coherence.

[@scottgoulet1776]

I love this song. I hope these guys put out music for a long time.

[@tomperband]

This song is so fun to sing to, skate to, walk to school, before and after wakeskating, eating, waking up, getting ready...

[@davidschopp9134]

Hands down one of my favorite tracks of all time. The whole song is great but I could listen from 1:40 to the end over and over and over and over again.....and I have

[@cuttlerturner1929]

Damn I had such a good taste in music at 13, 26 now ❤️

[@rapidroha9245]

My dad played this for me when I was little, I’m going back though I doctor dog loophole. This was my favorite song lol

[@johkangiser4812]

Still a slapper 2021

[@edover51315]

this is so hard to watch. but so easy to listen to

[@davidschopp9134]

These are tears of joy cried the weeping willow

[@patrickfringer2666]

damn this song... so good. it brings me back to last summer

[@aleleeinnaleleeinn9110]

I do love this song.

[@audreyomgosh5789]

I really love this song, I could put it on repeat and not get bored of it!

[@daleonov]

Here from Pat Finnerty. You got great tunes!

[@louiswho]

Man whenever I play this song I have to sing along and end up crying its too freaking good 🤣

[@user-wh2tr7kw2d]

According to everyone else, my music taste is weird. i don't get it. this is GOLD

[@brianm7109]

Absolutely just a beauiful, gorgeous, beautiful, beautiful amazing song..

[@bronxny1219]

Give a thumbs up to my comment if working at an Amc Theater as an usher brought you here. lol. I have been hearing this song for the longest, but never knew who sung it. The only part of the song that I would remember would be "There's an elephant in my head". lol. Now that I know who sings it and have finally heard the whole song, I'm in love. New favorite song.

[@julius-sumner-miller]

I love this song so much!

[@Alex-dz2oi]

I don’t know why, but there is not a song in the world that I enjoy singing along with at the top of my lungs more than this one.

[@indiehippie]

Thankkkkk youuuuuu!

[@Kismeta]

This is so fantastic.

[@elmaestrocubano]

Dr. Dog is one of my favorite bands and I've seen them live thrice, but I'm not gonna lie, their videos always piss me off.

[@yousmokemid]

Paul Simon of the future...great song.

[@sarahom4228]

All I want for Christmas is a Dr Dog hat!

[@SomeEloquentGraffi]

My inspiration for knitting. These guys were AMAZING in Houston, Texas!!

[@alexruotolo4201]

One cool video...good song and a good band

[@TheUneventfulSundae]

Love love love this song. It is the best when listened to during early morning train rides to a job I am not in love with. It is the nice in-between hour of cranky early morning drowsiness and restless for the end of a long work day.

[@Pittguy2012]

this song is so addicting!

[@TheTBagGirl]

They make me feel infinite.

[@lucilletyson5032]

One of my brothers favorite songs. I can see why!

[@superdragonslayer69]

[@trevorsim5266]

[@Mea-anna]

I DON'T WANT TO FIGHT BUT I'M CONSTANTLY READY

[@kayakbrent]

I saw them live in a bar, on the outer banks in North Carolina. . They were ridiculous! This might just be a bootleg someone got.

[@astro574]

this would be the most fun music video to make.

[@elisenavidad846]

Perfection.

[@JonVermeire]

Imagine this: a theme song to me getting up at 5:30 AM to ride the BART, drunk as usual, to go to work every day. Some days I made it to work. Some days I didn't. I would ride the BART from one end to the other with this song in my head the entire time.

[@alexanderaultman]

On their kingsroadmerch site. They're only 25 bucks! :)

[@shindig3030]

probably my favorite song on the album and love how the video looks. Also love the idea for the cuts, but can't watch it or i'll puke.

[@klip320]

Just discovering this band.

[@Deadeye26]

I can't wait for February 1st in Columbus,Ohio. First show of the ''Be The Void'' tour which means us Ohioans get the first live performance of "That Old Black Hole". I'm betting part of the encore.

[@julianaalcantara3595]

On the roof

[@strikno]

So... all of Dr. Dog's purchased merch will come with band sweat? Can't figure a proper reaction, yet.

[@eliseorodeaaguilar7269]

este grupo es muy bueno

[@alexanderaultman]

Definitely my favorite song from the album.

[@Tyyyyuru]

10 years ago

[@shreddingmynotes]

Who directed this one, guys? Or, I should ask, who edited it? It looks like someone had to synch a whole lot of different takes. It's really well mixed. :O

Sure, They have enough hats to shoot this video, but none available in their store.

[@HBCult]

Interesting direction with this new album. It feels as if they are trying to find their toothbrush roots combined with being popular. Oh how they have grown.

[@dianneguzzetti8242]

Thanks for putting phila on the map

[@nobody4937]
