Shannon Jae that’s ok cause I have all the time. You kick ass. Post some more awesome songs please.

[@kari7045]

My poor sister , i can not look at your face in the video wo crying. I try just listening to the song and I still couldn’t do it. You’re so strong when you sing this song. Deep breaths is what it takes. THANK YOU for sharing this with us

[@noneed595]

Shannon Jae: My wife died some years ago - she drank herself to death - driven by all the torments she couldn't put aside. I can only guess at how you came up with this song, but you told our story as if you were there. Thank you. I will follow you always, hoping that one day I can say this face-to-face.

[@evanherrera5948]

😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@aaronisacomedian]

Understanding the context of this makes this song one of the most touching, beautiful, and brutally sad songs ever written

[@johncollins636]

The last few lyrics are some of saddest I’ve heard. Rip nick

[@mykelbukey1235]

It def makes the song completely different sounding. And yea the ending hits me like a ton of bricks everytime!

[@mykelbukey5876]

Yes this song hits me hard everytme. The ending is brutal! I absolutely love raw, real, untouched music.

[@TROBassGuitar]

What's the context?

[@NoName-rg7bw]

​@@TROBassGuitarThis song is about Nicholas Ridout. Shannons Husband. He killed himself when he was 24

[@Etat7]

That harmonica riff has found its way into my soul.

[@thelongman6002]

Anyway to get tabs or anything to learn it? I'm trying to learn to play and i love this.

[@equipow]

Seriously!

[@hugosex]

Oh yes! The whole song goes straight to the soul

[@holyvacant1427]

I just lost my best friend to cancer on my 30th birthday. He was 30 as well. He was a liar, a heroin addict, a thief, and a son of a bitch. He also knew more pain than anyone else I knew, and I loved him since when we were just kids. He was always in and out of jail. My dad took him under his wing secretly for years trying to help him get sober, he would steal from my parents and run back to the junk. I always knew his life would end early. I know it couldn't last. But at the same time, it ain't right, all that he saw in this poor life. And I used to be able to count my dead friend just on my hands, in the last ten years I've run out of fingers and toes. I'm 30.

[@1m1nth3m0b2]

No matter where Ashley Mae plays she adds so much color to a duo

[@littlebemen925]

Always!

[@josephfriend7442]

This is one of those songs. I sat here and listened, mostly with my eyes closed, and thought back over the last 40 years. Of everything I've seen, of all those I've lost in a myriad of ways, of the pain (that I've endured and caused), of all the times I've tempted fate and thought of times I wanted to end it all. And damn did my eyes start leaking. But its songs like these that remind me that I'm not alone in the pain I carry. We're not alone. There are folks out there that know and understand. And it gives me hope

[@jmsblk1]

When I see young people making music like this it gives me hope that the craft will not be lost to ever more soulless pop and auto tune singers with no heart or talent bombarding us from every FM channel around the world.

[@joelpocalips]

@Von Letterman it's a truth that not many can handle though. When you find something that's just real, you see the fallacy in everything else that's pretending to be what it's not

[@braindrain5]

Hands down, two of the most talented women in the folk music scene today. I am so full of love and admiration for both Shannon and Ashley. Someday I'd like to be a gal as gifted as them. Til then, I'll be drinking off a bottle of whiskey and breaking the replay button on this song.

[@Tokinjester]

This song gets sadder and more beautiful every time I hear it 😢 Love from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@kristopherluke9715]

It's cool to see Ashley and Ben taking their friends with them when they have the opportunity. Love the song.

RIP Nick. Thanks for pushing these folks into my life. You live vicariously through every note strummed by the people you inspired.

I think it's her beautiful soul, pouring out all her emotion, right out those eyes, fingertips and lips. youd have to be blind not to see it, but even then you would hear it.

[@anamewhichisnottaken]

A lot of the ads I see that I have to skip to watch this video are for companies that, at their foundation, go against a lot of the things that a lot of these musicians stand for. I know you don’t choose the ads and can’t control them but I figured it is something worth mentioning. If I were an indie artist/musician, I know I would not want it. Thank you for your channel.

[@GemsOnVHS]

I agree, I wish it wasn't necessary to allow us to film these for free for the artists!

Been listening since this was posted this morning. Thank you for getting Shannon on here.

[@zelupl2063]

Thank you!

[@rollingedges9469]

The last verse has me... i cant tell if its "leave those songs alone" or "leave those sorrows alone and kiss me goodnight". Still an epic song.

[@TeganEV]

@@rollingedges9469 Still sure its "leave those 'thoughts' alone". aka leave those suicidal thoughts alone and come to bed, kiss me goodnight.

[@TheS5redneck]

This is what I want from female musicians. talented songwriters that perform with all their heart. Nothing fake about these ladies ♥️

[@Tarfyen2]

This song is what you need to hear when something terrible happened to you which you can't put in a positive frame and just have to take it. It's that someone who tells you simply that it ain't fair because most people will tell you that it's "not so bad" because they think that will help you deal with it. Thanks Shannon for those very empathic lyrics and beautiful song. Shannon and Lost Dog Street Band Fan from Germany.

[@JWheeler331]

I’m always amazed at these artists such as LDSB and Shannon who can put their heart and souls into this music and write such deep and amazing songs that really it at the most raw of emotions. Thank you. Thank you for sharing even your darkest emotions with the world who h can’t always be easy.

[@caseyjones1059]

There's this movie I think called crazy heart about an alcoholic country singer. Anyways he's playing this song for a girl he stays with when he's in her area and asks if she knows it, she says she remembers and asked what the name is. He says he just wrote it, but that's how it is with the good ones, you always think you've heard them before

I've been listening to the newer recordings Shannon has put out and I am convinced she is like the joni Mitchell of our generation. And I mean that in the most respectful way possible. From their content and ability to structure their lyrics, their talent and their lyrical content to the feelings you get listening to them.. I have a Playlist I was putting together for a specific mood and its like 90% joni and Shannon.

Lyrics: And I know you’ve been thinking about your days gone by Sitting by the river drinking a jug of wine And I know it aint right Yes I know it aint right All the things that you’ve seen in this here life And oh honey babe don’t you face your head alone I’ve been begging you like a dog Won't you throw me a bone And I know it aint right Yes I know it aint right All the things that you’ve seen in this here life You turn your head slowly as if you don’t see me Your eyes blink knowingly as you take up your drink And I know it aint right Yes I know it aint right All the things that you’ve seen in this here life I tug at your hair with your head hung low Open your mouth how can this be so? And I know it aint right Yes I know it aint right All the things that you’ve seen in this here life As bad as you been you know I still love you You’re my oldest friend I hate to see you so blue And I know it aint right Yes I know it aint right All the things that you’ve seen in this here life I don’t have the answers and I’m sorry dear As far as I’m concerned there is only one way out of here But you know that aint right Yes you know that aint right It’s best to leave those thoughts alone and kiss me goodnight YepsiPepsi...
