Dream Syndicate - Bullet with my name on it

Great song of The Dream Syndicate, from the album "Medicine Show"(1985).
....
Pictures of Nevada desert (from the web) and Southern Sicily (original).
......
If you ever saw me
walking around
swear I'd try to disappear
I wouldn't make a sound
Then something
got me on the run
it's gonna be the last time
I let you hold my gun
Your bullet's got my name on
ah ah
Your bullet's got my name on it
gotta run away
run run away
I had a dream
I was all alone
I had a mouth
but I couldn't speak
Then something
tried to turn my head
It was someone just like you
had me by the throat again
Your bullet's got my name on
ah ah
Your bullet's got my name on it
gotta run away
Your bullet's got my name on it
gotta run away
run run away
I thought I knew the answer
It was just a clue
Another trigger I couldn't pull
And then something
came in my room last night
they aimed
they fired
and I got lucky
Your bullet's got my name on
ah ah
Your bullet's got my name on it
gotta run away
run run away

Wow! Many, many years ago I had this record. I played it again and again. For me there was/ is still something magic in this song. Throught the years I lost this record. I don`t know, why this title " the bullet had my name..." enterd my mind. Never ever rememberd this song - now I found it at the first try. What a happy day today. Thanks for your music, tanks for posting.

No entiendo el ingles

This song carries a new meaning since 2 days,unfortunately.The man that first introduced me to this music,my best friend of 25 years,has died. My dear dear John. He used to wear a bullet around his neck and I had it engraved with his name for his birthday a couple of years ago.Because of this song. He thought it was one of the best gifts he ever received.The chain broke last year,so tomorrow I have to look for it among his belongings. I,m so very sad,but the music will help me cope.

Great song...I credit my favorite novelist of all time, George Pelecanos, for introducing this band to me through his books!

GREAT SONG, NOT FORGOTTEN!!

[@davidellis5141]

Like Steve Wynn, I worked at both Rhino and Moby Disc. Bob Say and David Crouch both great people to work for and with.

[@dylankiedis]

Many years ago my mother drove a radio show called medicine show. She had a registration with steve wynn saying it was the greatest radio programm he had ever listened to *_*

All'erta veri credenti! Questo gioiello è stato ristampato in CD (dopo più di vent'anni d'attesa) il 15 giugno di quest'anno! Come extra tracks il mini-live 'This is not the new Dream Sydicate album..Live!'

[@karimjaballah2202]

MY DEAR JOHN WE WON'T FORGET YOUR GREAT SONG AND YOUR DREAMY VOICE

[@kataidamashi]

@hildaatje requiescat in pace (rest in peace) for your friend. I think I can understand how you should feel, because few months before a cancer took away a dear friend of mine. Since childhood we grew up listening and discovering time by time great music, and playing a band too. Surely music will help you to cope. Best wishes.

[@enricom7456]

The new Syndicate album will be on store next september 2017 !!!! Since 1988 last studio album. Don't forget absolutely. I'll watch them live in Milan italy

[@marmotta58]

Oh grazie mille... Ciao e W i Dream Syndicate

[@JHallDaBoss]

this song is so good!

[@LarzGustafsson]

I first heard this song performed live by a band called T Blue at the Hillbilly club in Gävle, Sweden on September the 26th this year.

[@Screamdoestuff]

Great Song by far....

[@pettern96]

THIS is music!

[@yixnorb5971]

Great road traveling music

[@HimesInu]

@hildaatje I'm sorry if I offended you by my question. As I just said in reply to him, snipers wear a bullet around their neck as a symbol. It's called a hog's tooth. And I'm glad to hear you are slowly getting over the loss. I know the feeling. I've lost a few of my friends, either due to traffic accidents or the war. )O( Blessed Be and know that your friend is always watching over you.

[@jpmtlhead39]

Perfect....Awesome.

[@thenameisbond]

@hildaatje I had it on cassette back in the day. I agree it's a much better version. It also had a blistering version of "John Coltrane Stereo Blues".

[@hildaatje]

THANK YOU!!!!!

[@VeritasInVideo]

Your comment is still on the top. Nice to hear from you again :)

[@kataidamashi]

Ottimo commento. Non fa una grinza. Ciao.

[@hildaatje]

So I hadnt removed it obviously...sometimes You Tube has a life of its own!Thank you for the message and glad to let you now that 2 years of mourning have paid off.He is still very much missed,but we,ve learned to live without.....you people have been great though,thanks again!And this song still kicks ass!

[@HimesInu]

@MultiAlan91 Actually no, it wasn't a joke. A sniper will wear a bullet on a necklace to symbolize the round that was meant for him. It is saying that the sniper is in control of his own fate. That's all. I wasn't trying to be offensive.

@thenameisbond Don,t I know it! Makes you....feel allright.......(wink) That whole album just rocks! I have it on vinyl. Thanks for the support!Maybe it will inspire some music-lovin wizz kid to put it on You Tube.Unfortunately;I don,t have the means or the skills.....

[@hildaatje]

@HimesInu Hi!You didnt offend me,its just the thought of him as a sniper....hahaha...And besides;he was blind in one eye and couldnt see straight out of the other.But that is probably where this necklace came from then!He must have found it on a fleemarket or something.See;you learn something new every day. Thank you for your kind words,have a nice day!

[@VinnieCamaro]

It's called 'Americana' guys..
