Horse Feathers - Curs in the Weeds (Official Music Video)

[@undeny]

Heard this on a morning train ride to Manchester. Regular train, regular morning... And yet I feel like I'll never forget watching the grass plains and the fresh morning breeze pass me by to this tune. Sat there and smiled back at the view for no reason, which was reason enough it seemed.

[@robb9958]

No song has captured how it felt to grow up with a single father doing what he could to provide physically, while having little to offer emotionally; this video really reminds me of almost raising myself, running around just doing kid stuff.. I never realized it was an avoidance of 'home' until this video; being lost in the woods, totally lost for hours at a time. "where had you been, son? not in the street, not in the yard' really reminds me of my own father's inability to connect emotionally while still having that 'fatherly' duty. One of the instances where a song feels like it was created almost perfectly for your situation, without the artist even knowing it. The tempo of the song, the kind melody of the strings, it all reminds me of different parts of my childhood. The grown kid exploring his old house and lying down, the child running through the grass back home.. All of it. It resonates so much. Thank you for this.

[@blakemassengale6922]

Beautiful stuff, man.

My dad died in 2008 and I bought this cd in Tallahassee at a used store. I listened to it over and over and this song made me feel sad and yet happy at the same time. As I looked over the farm where my mom and dad grew up this song just made me feel so much. Now when I hear it I'm transported back to that time and again I feel happy and sad, this music is so powerful.

[@AaronHendu]

This song fucking hits me hard...always has...but I've been through a ton that is very much related to what this song is about...I have been recently diagnosed with BPD after struggling to have any successful relationships of any kind for years, blah blah...and my child hood was one of zero love...there was a time I can remember, still in diapers, and allowed to roam free a deserted auto wrecking yard all day unsupervised, probably 100 acres...maybe 2-3 years old...not old enough to speak properly, so maybe younger...I would wander farther and farther each day...and stay out as long as I wanted...one day, I wandered too far and couldn't find my way back, and remembered that roads go to houses, and I could see a house, and maybe would know how to get home from the road...I made it to the road, and remember not knowing what anything was, and not knowing what way to go, so I started crying and walked left. I walked for what seemed like a very long time on the gravel shoulder, and finally, a car came...and told me to get in...I cried harder and kept walking...finally, the old man in the car...he followed me...and made me scared...but didn't get out, and asked me where I was going...and I couldn't talk yet...so he followed me for a long time, and finally, I gave up...I still didn't know anything or recognize where I was at all...and it was hot, I was in a diaper...and crying...so I got in the car...luckily, the old man wasn't some creep rapist dude or something, and somehow actually got me home...I vaguely remember him asking me to point out anything I could recognize, but I don't think I was able to...and also vaguely remember him stopping and asking other old people if they recognized me or knew of where I could have came from. Anyway...that memory comes back every time I watch this...wandering through this field / abandoned wrecking yard as a toddler...

I hope since you wrote this you have found a strong sense of purpose and self worth. I love you man. You were born for a purpose and you mean a lot to so many people. Your story meant a lot to me and I wish I could have been your brother so you weren’t alone. God is real brother and he loves you more than you can imagine. I hope you can see that there is an abundance of people out there that are willing to be your brother. If you allow god into your heart he can fill the void I promise. I can attest to it with my life. Love you man! God bless you and my his presence be upon you.

[@AaronHendu]

@@joelferguson4089 I didn't get notified of this reply...but I found it from listening to this song again and thanks, love you too man.

[@MalakMacabre]

I feel the same. I'm also a diagnosed BPD. Alot of music feels relatable to me because it feels like its talking about my mental illness, not a relationship. My relationships are much the same. Im on my 3rd serious relationship of 5 years. Sometimes it seems like I'll never be happy in relationships. It always seems like I default to wanting to be alone.

[@Omgberto]

I listened to this while on a vacation with my ex. We were up north around Montana and the like, and it just clicked. Some things you wander around forever for until you happen across them, and that coincidence was life-changing. Completely flipped the way I see life and beauty at all. I even touched a wild hummingbird on the streets of Big Fork, Montana. Gorgeous city full of gorgeous people.

[@CoachAndre3K]

my mother plays cello.. . .This song made my eyes well up with water that precipitated out of them. Reminds me of afternoons with my moms cello playing throughout the house and yard. painfully beautiful. lovely instruments and harmony. brings back something inside me. This is the first horse feathers song i have heard in my life

[@magzdilluh]

almost fifteen years since the release of this vid; maybe it just means more to me than the creators ever intended it to, maybe I've manhandled this into something darker for me that made the most sense for me to heal from it, I don't know, maybe I'll never know. But I do know that it was here and that it helped me for many years and damn, isn't that the thing that every artist craves? I know I did

[@MissedExistance]

This beautiful song breaks my heart and mends it at the same time

[@bubbasmith382]

simply one of the best songs I have ever heard

[@tannersteinmetz6079]

“Marrow without bone”… such amazing lyrics

[@corrinne16]

I came across Horse Feathers my sophmore year of high school, Looking at a terribly long list on bands who had come from Portland, Oregon. I picked them because their name made me laugh. I'm SO glad my childish humor brought me to this INCREDIBLE band.

[@kimberleecatena]

I found this song after being up all night into the rising sun years ago. i vividly remember looking out the window from our couch out at the street through the cracked blinds and zoning out with my feelings sort of sad and longing and empty but peaceful the song really resonated with my feelings the tone or what, maybe a few of the lyrics..father of 3, ones in between, cursed to believe, fickle of faith, etc. that sweeping string- it just was perfect soul matching song you only experience a few times in life. it was just a really haunting but beautiful morning. since all those years ago this song has popped in my head now and then but i could never remember enough lyrics to find it again and its drove me so mad. finally last night i was starting to get that feeling again and was looking through files and found it and was so happy and relieved it led me to other songs in my head with the same feeling to me like billy eillish i love you and power and dreams to dream and finally to a boy i really love and i spent the rest of the night smiling at him happily till i fell asleep so peaceful and i thank this song. thank you for making it. it's special. i don't really know what is going on in this but when i have thought of this song ive always felt like the teenage looking boy in this laying on the floor and a bit sad like but today when i heard it i felt like the little boy who seemed content in the field.

[@badgerbadger-badger-Poppy]

cried so hard first time i heard this song. beautiful.

[@RailCityFishes]

Horse feathers is the best music To listen to in nature. Riding my bike through the northwoods of Wisconsin while listening to this music is one of my favorite things to do.

[@chipdillard9738]

If you want something different to listen to while in nature, try Lord Huron.

[@jjohnmackk]

THANK YOU HORSE FEATHERS for being one of my favorite bands that is still very unknown. Bon Iver is being discovered, he was on the New Moons soundtrack, and I have been a kings of leon fan for 5 years now, and they are extremely popular.

[@inniss68]

Brings me home. I live in Barcelona , Spain and I'm from the western Island's of Scotland, just gives me peace.

[@kevinkaiser2501]

I'm originally from the US (California) but living in Barcelona. I hear you!

[@artisonspaintingremodeling]

Real musicians are always down to earth. The poets and artists are never known until they are gone. These guys for as incredible as they are will never be on an awards show. It is a true testiment to their integrity.

[@MrColejacobs]

Why did this song not get more attention. This is beautiful.

[@MalakMacabre]

The Dad in this video feels relatable. Like he's trying to do for his kids. Trying to be a good Dad, trying to work. Trying not to let his kids see his desperation and sadness.

[@Omgberto]

This video really reminds me of the hardships my dad and I faced, since he raised me himself. Really touched me.

[@FluryofFlames]

this song and video broke me... hands over my face crying... i've never felt like this...

[@MondrosenPrime]

I really don't know what to say about this band. I listened to 2 albums and I love every single song in it. All their songs make me feel calm and peaceful but passionate. When I feel really angry or down, I'd just listen to them. Their music is beautiful. I don't care if they're famous or not. If they're a good band, I believe they will keep making beautiful songs.

[@realityisable1]

Definitely a hard video to watch. My father passed away 6 months ago and it has not become any easier. We take those we love for granted, so when they're gone, we look back on all the things we could have done differently with them. Say everything now and never hold back. I love you papa.

[@PrettyLittlePinup]

I absolutely love this band. I've been listening to their album no stop. Beautiful music.

[@Zaxxy]

Horse Feathers is absolutely amazing. At first I didn't like it but I gave it a chance and it really grew on me.

[@Rhyden14]

great song, the vocals really go well with the strings and the lyrics are awesome

[@slfe-u59]

The most beautiful song! Curs in the Weeds Horse Feathers Lover of things Won't you agree How the winter could bring The darkest spring With hell on your face Dirt on the walls In the back of the place You grew and complained Father of three Won't you believe That the ones in between The ones that are blamed Of fickle faith Cynics that seethe How their children are cursed Cursed to believe It's like marrow without bone To live in a house with no home Where the son is the darkest seed He crawls with the curs in the weeds Where had you been son Not in the street, not in the yard Only once, I'll call off the dogs If you call off your guard Where had you gone Where had you been Source: LyricFind Songwriters: Justin Wayne Ringle Curs in the Weeds lyrics © Terrorbird Publishing LLC

[@MCKinnon023]

this song remind me so much of me and my fathers relationship. We both are extremely stubborn and around two years ago i made the executive decision to no longer see him due to complications in our relationship and an extremely broken home. "It's like morrow without bone. To live in a house with no home." this songs gives me hope we will civilly connect again at one point in our lives. This lyrics describes our current relationship. "Only once, I'll call of the dogs, if you call off your guard."

[@polarlondon]

I seen then last year. They where so great. I want to see them again. So good.

[@HeyWazowskii]

Omg I've been trying to find this song for a few years!

[@kinstlerh97]

LOVE that violin!

[@TheDarkHumour]

This song renews my hope in the music industry completely. As long as artists like these guys exist, then we have something grand to look forward to.

[@LemmyAttum]

this is amazing...his voice, the cello and violin are made for eachother..

[@try_kach]

this song. it is perfect.

[@freeskichica]

I just wrote an essay about how music can express sentiments that words cannot express. This song pretty much makes me feel like all that writing was a waste. All you have to do is listen to the song to understand what I was clumsily trying to say. Thank god for good music.

[@4CLoveify]

I radomly stumbled on horse feathers last week... and that discovery has completely screwed me over for finals since I've been listening to all their albums on repeat ever since! I am completely in love with this music and I wish the whole world could be, too! This is too beautiful to go unshared. Ahhh, so good!

[@bethderr1443]

I found this song again after some years, the tears did not stop, so beautiful, so painful, a true example of artistry

[@JohnthePond]

j'ai ressenti quelque chose de vraiment fort en écoutant ce morceau pour la première fois, chaque fois que je le réecoute ca me tombe dessus comme un piano du deuxième. y a d'lharmonie, c intimiste, c ingénieux et surtout c senti. yes that's in french ; SO WHAT !

[@stormtrooper74]

Saw them in St. Paul last year. Awesome show.

[@AustinLoweBorne]

I grew up on an old plantation after being born in the city and it looked just like this house. The words, the video, and even the music speaks to me more than a LOT of similar stuff.

[@Georg5555]

I realy cant get enough of this song .. the voice , the melodys , the calmfulness of this song is so perfect in every aspect .. I always come back

[@slfe-u59]

Loop.

[@ChangeAndBeChange]

i love this song. do i need anymore words than that? If 7 people dislike this song then the speakers on their computers must be broken.

[@HealthyHeartbeat]

i love justins voice & facial expression. this song is one of the best!

[@DailyDip]

the feeling you get listening to this song, someone else gets that same feeling listening to hip-hop, or heavy metal, or skrillex, or whatever it is those who haven't found 'the light' listen to.

[@polarlondon]

Seen them live in London last year. It was the first time that i have ever heard of them, but loved them ever since. Going to see them on the 7th Dec again. Cant wait.

[@lilijulyful]

awesome song

[@MtLoveiTy]

I love this song at the moment, I can't stop listening to it They're amazing!

[@LiveToRidee]

Cello is amazing the only instrument to be able to play an entire orchestra the true one man band instrument, Horse Feathers using it amazingly well, That sounds like great memories i wish I one like it!

[@lSincerity]

I never used to understand what was being sung most of the time, though I never minded as it was so hauntingly beautiful.. though I just looked them up and I can honestly say I'm even more in love with them - if that was possible!

[@Georg5555]

People say this often but this video realy deserves more views .. its a masterpiece

[@Kupcakekitty648]

It's funny I've been listening to this song for five years. It's been one of my favorite song since the first time I heard it. I never really understood the lyrics, except for the lines: "where did you go, son?", "a house that's not home", and "crawls with the curs and the weeds". It reminds me of the melancholy of my highschool years, a period in which I became more and more distant from my parents, particularly my father. I think this song reminds me of how emotionally removed our relationship was then and somewhat how it still is.

[@EurekaSpringsAR]

I loved the MOKB take on this song too...which I think more and more folks would appreciate after hearing this excellent audio recording. This song just gets better and better the more I hear it! Thank you

[@Omgberto]

Perfection, in-and-out. This video describes my life to the bone.

[@jwright520]

this guy's voice is awesome. this is very good music.

[@tropicanahana]

Lover of things, wont you agree how the winter could bring the darkest spring? With hell on your face, dirt on the walls in the back of the place, you grew and complained.

[@danielfrancoisdonascimento2444]

Just wanted to say that i listen to this song since 2012. So brilliant !!

[@SuperKlamka]

I feel the warm lightening emanating from this song :)

[@tkasg]

Wonderful. Very special indeed. Just how good is this? Beautiful.

[@BloodBathAnBeyon]

I'm still here...

[@dperin2011]

To the six poor souls who decided to dislike this beautiful song, I remember when I didn't know what good music was too, hopefully you will find the light.

[@Red_Petal]

This song gives me life

[@ToddShafferW]

Absolutely phenomenal.

[@millymuffin456]

soo beautiful, the strings are breathtaking

[@roseartlefty]

New to me........so glad I stopped by! Going to my favorites for sure!

[@imjustalittleguy]

Dude.. just came across this! what a great start to the weekend! love it!

[@notlargerthanlife]

Such a beautiful song. They never fail to amaze me:)

[@MrDakotahO]

Truly beautiful..

[@JohnthePond]

imagine that one song can creates so much pure intense emotion and mostly admiration...

[@kondwaan]

beautiful and so evokative of good times

[@gitterfritter]

Wow ... I'd never heard of this band. I will definitely be checking out some more of their stuff.

[@jasoncarpenter1974]

Bravo! ✌️

[@AustinLoweBorne]

I want it to be Spring sooner. This only makes me want it more.

[@kyhart16]

this song brings me peace

[@zoeyungmi]

this is a masterpiece. so much soul and great playing. wow wow wow. I think I need to learn the cello now...

[@stephykamzy]

blown away,this band rocks thanks to uwall for finding it

[@diabolical22]

Wow, what a beautiful song!

[@JessicaOrban3606]

I dont have a specific memory for this song, but I just hits something deep. So beautiful, so evocative

[@turdferguson1989]

@thecasie1 actually nate is from my small hometown of Carlton, OR. pretty awesome!!

[@MrCarmen0602]

nice song

[@blythemorrow]

Please come to Vancouver. It's not far. So beautiful

[@pierredm]

So beautifull song and video...

[@hoshikuzu728]

Too beautiful ♥ Can't believe I ever forgot about this gem ♥

[@musicalone56]

Truly inspiring piece. I'm performing it this year in our chamber ensemble!

[@deividoliveira5119]

2024 estou aqui ouvindo esse hino❤

[@piehole23]

This is a wonderful instance of how less can be more, how you don't have to fill a video with all sorts of pyrotechnics to evoke strong, nameless feelings .

[@Jorrrdddinnn]

Breathtakingly beautiful, the violin adds so much to it. :)

[@breadboy2712]

Just saw them live. It was a great show:)

[@jedadiahpiano]

you guys are bad asses. cant wait til im old enough to see a live show!

[@angiesamoa]

Me too! It breaks my heart. I start mourning.

[@davidlounsberry4127]

I saw them in Asheville NC last February. it was incredible even though I knew one song from their newest album. Justin Ringle deserves to be in the same conversation with Tallest Man On Earth and perhaps someday Andrew Bird

[@laurenhanson8094]

I'm sitting here getting pissed off that I missed them in Asheville just eight months ago :( What venue??

[@davidlounsberry4127]

Grey eagle... Expect them back regularly because Justin told me after the concert that he has moved to Asheville

[@laurenhanson8094]

No way!! Exciting :D thanks!

[@davidlounsberry4127]

I don't see that they're scheduled for an event at the grey eagle right now. But keep up on the grey eagle. December 15 Chatham county line will be there. I might try to go to that. I saw them in Chattanooga 2 years ago. Surreal and almost spiritual folk experience

[@laurenhanson8094]

I saw my favorite singer/songwriter and her band at The Grey Eagle and it was surreal as well.. that's what I love about bands that aren't super popular playing at small venues.. it becomes a spiritual experience for the music lover.. I hope they play again soon! I don't get on Facebook much so I am worried I'll miss it again..

[@tjforizzleyeeeeah]

Not many songs achieve that kind of magical quality. It takes you from wherever your sitting and removes you from there into a separate time. It just saturates you with the song.

[@WhatsHizFase]

i know the lyrics arent about like looking back to much but this video makes me look back. just graduated and im like "im gonna miss running in the weeds"

[@moda78z]

To think that when i first fell in love with horse feathers there were only about 3 clips on utube and now there are many :)

[@ssuperawesome]

@Jorrrdddinnn I think the violin and cello both add a lot to this song. I understand what you mean, though. It's a fantastic piece.

[@samtheliving]

This song reminds me of "Tree of Life." Great film/Great song!

[@CourtDorothy]

I want this CD soo bad!

[@billymisfits]

this was fantabulous

[@ceciliabenassi1043]

Studying in the caotic and stressfull Milan this song is like food for my soul..Please make some other amazing tune like this Thank you. Your italian fan Ciu

[@contefiele]

pensavo di essere l'unico in tutta l'Italia ad ascoltare gli Horse Feathers. Invece siamo in due. A Milano poi. Complimenti.

[@christineroberts7794]

yeah

[@RoundMidnight111]

beautifull song. great album. how about coming to portugal someday? :)
