Shovels & Rope - Lay Low (Live at Pickathon)

[@alyssaheil9878]

10 years later and still one of the most heartbreaking and beautiful songs I have ever heard.

[@devinbrucephotography]

I had ripped this to listen to in my car years ago and lost the CD... and the memory faded. This popped up and my eyes welled with tears. Since the time I lost the CD I taught myself Ukulele and I IMMEDIATELY ran to my studio and played along with the song... total chills. I love it.

[@ziggyah84]

Yesss!!!! This song is as emotional and amazing as the first time I heard it a decade ago!

[@duggadugga6435]

I laid my poor sweet baby boy to rest last week and I can't get this out of my head. Please pray for his mom and me.

[@mightymo77386]

Prayers bud, I was going to comment on how perfect of a song this is for a loved one that has passed

[@brittanyhuston24]

So incredibly sorry for your loss 😭 it's not the same experience but I lost my aunt June 15 2021 and I listened to this on repeat for weeks... it doesn't take the pain away but it helps a little. Sending you and yours love ❤️‍🩹

[@Lanearndt]

😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

[@Niseis]

This was a song we laid our baby to rest to as well. Now his daddy is with him out there and I’m down here drowning

[@toystoremachinist]

I’m sorry buddy.

[@jgraves919]

It is amazing how she wraps her voice around his. Beautiful.

[@johncollins636]

This song is perfection

[@the_crystal_lynn]

Years later and it’s still a favorite… 🖤

[@giulianotoniolo]

same here

[@1emailer]

Wow. 1 guitar and 2 voices. no mixing, no autotune, no backup singers. beautiful

[@uncledd4394]

The most beautiful sad song ever! Such amazing haunting harmonies.❤ Smiling while I re- watch this one million times in 2021. Sending you beautiful, Beautiful people love.

[@jameswarren2045]

Yupp. Still watching...still listening 🎶

[@danieltyger8977]

I come back often. This was a great capture. Grateful for this song/version.

[@johncollins636]

One of my favorite songs ever

[@BrianRutan]

Thousands of hours listening to music on KZbin and this has to be the best performance out there hands down!!!!

[@johncollins636]

Thank you for this comment. The song and version deserves it. One of my favorites

[@cameronlovesevolve]

Incredible. 8 years of Goosebumps. 2012 was a wild year personally, 2020 is up there and i find myself right back here. Lay low baby.

[@randomvideosfilmcollection3161]

Yes you said it 🙏🙏🙏✌💚

[@johncollins636]

Lay reallll low!

[@txzack66]

I love the way she looks at him.

[@sarahmendrin1039]

I thought the same thing

[@estencph]

Wish someone would look at me like that. its pure love :D

[@kalanyou3275]

He is so lucky. I have always yearned for that honest true gaze of love.

[@stuforster8080]

sometimes it takes a screw up to realise what was missed.

[@spamlives77]

txzack66 yes

[@joepaul6392]

i think what i love about this most is the fact that they look like they haven't slept at all, and that they sound like they where born to sing together. i love these guys

[@brianborchardt5043]

joe paul rfhhh

[@Jbalzer9]

I love this song, and this performance hits the nail on the head. Michael delivers it with all the sorrow and regret his heart has and Cary Anne just gives him this look saying "it's ok love I'm here". Absolutely beautiful.

[@jerryshaffer7978]

I felt this comment way too hard

[@johncollins636]

Bless you for the wonderful comment

[@leebrown7481]

Is it just me or are they one of the coolest singing couple ever??

[@aleistercrowley5167]

Seen these two hippies jamming a single guitar and singing while power walking laps at a local trail around a lake. They deffos lapped me like 2 or three times with no sign of slowing down... That's That's I knew, I had yo lose weight.

[@ldosucowboy3279]

Totally cool

[@demianrusso3234]

THE coolest

[@jeffreytoman8351]

They are something special…..

[@JanetSchwind]

it's NOT just you. They ARE!

[@dennyrane]

Two voices that God had intended to be born next door to each other. Fate separated them, luck and love brought the two back together. Terribly beautiful. A bit of Heaven, and a bit of the grave when they harmonize. Well Done best

[@moustachemoe]

Two of my best friends are musicians and they do this song. It was the very first song they sang together after they got married. I cry every time they play it.

[@dominicdangelo4801]

thats sweet

[@kevins4213]

There's another where she's fishin on the Gulf Coast and he's working a rig that's just as awesome.

[@JenniferMcKelvey]

This is the best thing I've heard in a long, long time.

[@P3drowm]

When the music creates goose bumps all over your body, it's because it's music.

[@jeffreytoman8351]

Best way to describe music.

[@christophervance1165]

This song wrecks me. Every time. ❤️😭

[@vbear8501]

Rarely see a duo sing so perfectly together.

[@napalmocean]

Their voices compliment one another so well. Folk music is making an amazing come back!

[@whatsinyourstack5447]

These two are absolutely out of this world good! This song in particular kills me but I can’t get enough

[@connorphipps2024]

You probably don’t read these anymore. And I don’t blame you. I saw you in Asheville and the orange peel and it was one of the most important concerts I have even been to in my whole life. Y’all will never understand how much you were there for me when I needed this. I believe people listen to things when they need to. I needed y’all and you said it all. Keep it up please

[@zackriotpdx]

Man I always keep coming back to this one, so great, thank you.

[@k10ac01]

Do the People understand this is STILL one of the most beaUTtiful performances by two souls ever? and note the Utah roots! love to be spread in all the shadows

[@ovrobinson]

I always find myself back here pressing play and drowning in this goodness xx Love these two and this perfectly captured moment xx

[@CraigKesicke]

So this is what perfection sounds like.

[@rolandoko1]

My heart is with you, you probably knew...your love is like glue.

[@jenguido71]

I just want to say this couple that sings together is a beautiful thing. I have listened to them and I am blessed to hear them sing. You have a magical connection so thank you for sharing!

[@cindyvazquez9657]

My past lover introduced me to this amazing duo.. can't help but think of him when I listen to this song. beautiful voices.

[@7Monkeyfish]

Hey that's how I am with Silversun Pickups. Great band. Not so much the girlfriend past.

[@tammyjackson3888]

I keep coming back to listen again and again...my new favorite song

[@dalehumphrey8765]

May all good people sing the praises of Shovels and Rope!😉✌

[@Musiclover12698]

Those e sounds (baby, lonely) are so incredibly lovely. She sings them so perfectly.

[@sarahmcinnis1153]

gorgeous. I keep coming back to it.

[@problemchild799]

Your voices so belong together.

[@nicholehampton3993]

The sound of their voices together literally make me tear up.

[@spacerambler]

This music is so REAL, compared with the things big stars are making today. Its good to see real music with real musicians keeping america's musical heritage alive.

[@djmoonbooties]

i'm obsessed. i'd like to watch this 100 times.

[@MLO43]

Simple. Beautiful. Extraordinary talent. This makes me swoon, it's so gorgeous.

[@kyledowney5565]

God damn! That's a beautiful song.

[@ptuffgong8504]

Perfect collaboration. The eye contact, the emotion. I absolutely love this.

[@sandstoney]

Look at their genes clumping together ,and the music taking you to a new level ,, Beautiful

[@brianthompson3165]

I've got to see these guys live. I don't do live shows anymore. After Jerry passed in 95 I just lost my passion. But youtube has opened me up to a lot of groups like these and my passion is back

[@texastsunshine1960]

I can't believe that I have just found yall... Music is Life Love n Living

[@StephenBTurner9]

Damn...I've heard this song over a 1,000 times and it never loses goosebumps!!! Can't wait to see ya'all in AA on Tuesday. ❤

[@joesaba3763]

Love the tone of her voice. Great harmonies, such a sweet tune.

[@michaeltaylor5638]

Thank you! Music is cool and all, but when you LIVE IT. We know who we are. I love you guys!

[@gunnarbiker]

Once you get out of the mainstream BS, there is some AWESOME music out there!! Love this!!

[@rosemarieforrester1257]

My husband and I came across this band together awhile ago. We both really love this music and have since just immersed ourselves in the genre . Boxcar is my favorite song and I would love love love to see them live!

[@ironmountain7907]

This is just so beautiful.

[@emilyg2823]

perfect raw sound. love this.

[@timothyfiedler344]

Never have I seen two connected souls so passionate in song. I watch all of their stuff in awe.

[@kilo-watt]

Been a huge Cary Ann fan for years, used to watch her perform around Charleston years ago. Micheal's band The Films is great too. Two incredible people making great music together.

[@RockabillyTunes2012]

They are SO talented!!! Refreshing!

[@Alexdrod]

Nothing beats the way they look at each other. Nothing.

[@mcglobulon]

american music at its finest. had the privilege to see them live a few months ago in boston. link, tell your friends, go out and see them live!

[@snottyboy000]

One of the most beautiful things I've ever heard, and I hear a lot...... you are gorgeous !

[@nicolepike1027]

10 years later and still brings tears.

[@HalfEatenDanish]

I can't get over how perfect their voices sound together. Dang.

[@harperhull3506]

Fell in love with these two tonight, amazing stuff

[@souldonor]

Wow is all that I can say. I wish I could write like that. To express such strong feelings so simply. I aspire to this level of songwriting.

[@kalanyou3275]

Thankyou for this grand music.

[@Beardedwolfproductions]

I come back to this video from time to time because it's wonderful.

[@sarahzuniga5771]

you are my most absolute favorite. Your songs get me threw the day

[@travisdavis4384]

So beautiful. I love this so much.

[@Zerodog3]

This is an amazing song. They are so good together.

[@jenguido71]

So beautiful!!!

[@oldfolkiedulcimer]

Fell in love with this song, found the artists and it's one that just grabs my heart! Love Shovels n Rope!

[@jrforeman9901]

it's very rare that my heartstrings get played like that

[@thomasmohundro4579]

I saw this duo open for OCMS a few years back. Blistering live performance! It's one you won't forget!!

[@kathleenboyle8668]

Love and harmony and beauty sonically exemplified. Also, can we just acknowledge how handsome Michael is? Damn. I’d be jealous if I didn’t admire Cary Ann so much! Love that these two were brought together, and share their work with us :)

[@stoneshire645]

Well said!

[@rossikins1]

Have loved this song since it was first shown on YT... blissful, melancholic... it just gets you eh?

[@10outofTenley]

I feel like crying and I can't even explain it.

[@keykid18]

Crying *is* your way of explaining it-- what words could you ever say to better express the feeling the music gives you? ;)

[@StupKrou]

Jay Bushey You are so true. This is exactly what i am feeling right now. Sadness in my mind

[@sarahmendrin1039]

Yep

[@dalehumphrey8765]

10outofTenley ... That's what good music does if it's properly received.✌😋

[@mr.mcmagpie6606]

I didn't just feel like it. I did cry...

[@briskrw]

Yes! That's exactly what makes their pairing so exceptional.

[@wyyrdojim]

Man I love them singing together!

[@chibiak2112]

God, that performance is awesome...I love that song!

[@PheonixNine]

This came up in autoplay after a Lost Dog Street Bamd Song. Thank the Lord it did.

[@jahzbird]

Such a beautiful song!

[@joycepugh331]

I never ceased to be amazed at how music can express, effortlessly, every nuance of what I feel when wrestling with complicated situations. "Lay Low" is simply lovely.

[@meggzbuti5236]

The passion between you two makes my heart ache. Perfect words, perfectly sung. Doesn't get better than this..

[@findingnemo6669]

Like if you still listening to this in 2024

[@giulianotoniolo]

I am. After all those years

[@robknasiak8699]

this song gives me hope. thank you

[@mikepearson9442]

I simply love yall. Those voices comfort me.

[@jamiealls4099]

It was over 100 degrees when this was shot. High summer. Afternoon shade and a devastating performance. I was standing next to the guy who said 'wow' at the end. I come back to this when I want to remember summer.

[@alyssaheil9878]

The "wow" gets me every time. ❤

[@_michellemcisaac]

Absolutely beautiful!! I would love to see them live!

[@Mattieisawesomer]

possibly my favorite duo, doing possibly my favorite song.

[@IowanProud]

Harmonies are just sick and perfect, terrific song...thanks for the share. Beautiful you guys ...! Enjoyed it very much.

[@coreyyoung2415]

It some how soothes every else over...so well produced and preformed. damn straight up perfection. Listen and learn, people

[@danaemcfall4352]

Beautiful .... I sing so much when I hear you guys. You can feel how sunk you are in your creativity and real expression

[@tiffers1982]

Man I tear up almost every time I hear that chorus. So frikken good! You guys are so good.

[@leebrown7481]

I love how her voice overlaps his in such a unique way! Absolutely love them! Awesome!

[@alabastardmasterson]

Song has always given me the shivers. I hope it always does

[@rickhelm8106]

Amazing. Really, inspiring performance and song.

[@rogerthorplewaite1527]

[@frankmartin9313]

freshest music i've heard in many years /never stop you two , YOU ARE EXCELLENT ,MAY THE MUSE STAY WITH YOU FOREVER !!!

[@klongo906]

I'm crying and so glad I came across this.

[@alen464]

Well i probably should be Drug out to sea Where I can't hurt no one And no one can hurt me At least I'd be free And probably I'd see What caused me to be So detached completely Jumping a rope Through a thick cloud of smoke Fumbling through all Of the letters and the notes The ones that you wrote Did they keep me afloat Or just wrap 'round my throat l Like a noose on a rope Probably both So lay low baby I won't be back anytime soon If it gets too lonely I will follow you 'round in this tune I don't know what to do What I'd do if I knew But we go through our day And get by and get through But my heart is with you You probably knew Your love is like glue So lay low baby I won't be back anytime soon If it gets too lonely I will follow you 'round in this tune Oooooo ......... Oooooo So lay low baby Just for a little while more If you can't keep waiting I will find my way back to your door

[@gr81dorn]

These guys are as good as music has been in the last few years. Its just disappointing that they'll never get the attention they deserve. And, aside from their ridiculous level of talent, they are just as nice and sweet as anyone I've ever met. One of the most spectacular live bands, too. So fun to see in person.
