Old 97's - Salome

[@todddennehy804]

Cried over this song in the 90s. Crying over it again tonight.

[@zamacity61]

Awesome! This song has been my companion through much heartbreak and misery in the past 15 years... good times and bad... this band has saved my life on several occasions as well. Do yourself a favour and go see them on tour this winter.

[@ExUSSailor]

Perfect song on this Valentine's Day.

This is probably the best fan-made video I've ever seen with the use of multiple stills. Pure genius,I say. I keep going back to watch it again. I actually met The Old 97's at Liberty Lunch while working there in the late 90's. They were playing SXSW with Whiskey town,Ryan Adam's band. I think they played SXSW there the very next year and the band hadn't quite won me over just yet-probably because I wasn't in the mood for Alt Country. By the time I saw them a 3rd time,I was sold on them! Rhett Miller and the bassist are very kind,I recall. Rhett is one of those unassuming guys that seems like a long lost friend from high school,and yet the ladies swoon over him like Beatlemania-"have you seen Rhett anywhere back there?", and "what's Rhett like?", one young lady asked me in a way that made me think of a girl askín for Paul McCartney. I love Rhett's daddy long leg dance he does while playin his guitar onstage-cracks me up. I have never seen anything like that Spaghetti-leg dance of hís!

[@PKay-57]

missed this the first time- cool Rob!

[@jenniferrbishop1]

WAYYYY under rated musicians . LOVE them

[@ExUSSailor]

One of the most soulful, honest, and depressing songs ever.

[@Atreyou40]

I want to hear Hope Sandoval sing this great song.

[@nonameyet9165]

I love this song, it's my fav of the 97s. good work here too

[@rollastoney]

Guys we all know the heart break. This song HITS mayne, great tune.

[@fizzygillespie]

Great song. The solo at 2:36 always reminded me of "I Hear a Symphony" by the Supremes.

[@chrislong3938]

I was going to post that, but you beat me by 10 damned years!

[@chefarik]

Oh, man, that adds even more to this gem.

[@brucer2152]

What a great song. I used to play this song and many others on this recording on an old late night radio show.

[@kegbreedlove5929]

A more perfect statement of a song and a band has never been written...well done Sudeste.

[@fireslug11]

ive seen Old 97's three times in concert and it has been even better every time... They are my go to band.

[@ladylonestar1]

I cry everytime I hear this song. Only 3 other songs have that affect on me.

[@crackuhpleez]

Great song!

[@finnegangooding7576]

Great to find other people who love the Old 97s! My favorite band Now all we need is a name for 97s fans. Satellite Riders maybe?

[@ciarasullivan8914]

How about people with good taste?

[@biggiecheese955]

Perhaps the graveyard whistlers?

[@tacogillespie4561]

What a great band. Think I'll jump the State Theater on Saturday night and see these boys. Gonna Rock St Pete on Saturday 6th Sept.

[@7dubstep5]

This song has so much meaning for me.. i Just love it and the old 97's

[@bryanmartin3855]

Timebomb was timeless. Ahhhh, to be young and running aound in Deep Elem in the early 90's. Old 97's, Ten Hands and Fever in the Funkhouse.

[@amanda34639]

Lovely composition. True sad story: I was in Boston and all wrapped up by the singer of the opening band as we listened to Rhett and swayed and kissed up a bunch. After I'd accidentally stuck my hand into a wet ashtray. Romance, what? Old 97's, Deathray Davies.

[@Temiken]

This video is so well done. Thank you for taking the time to put it together and share!

[@Temiken]

Really like this video. Good work.

[@Alinolie]

Saw them~ Love them!

[@kimberlycoulter8268]

These lyrics hit me like you would not believe. It's almost as if I wrote it.

[@FelishaArizona]

Fantastic video, thank you for sharing. Waited a long time for someone to put a vid up for this!

[@ElEustis]

Great break up song!

[@7777srd]

brilliant use and selection of color vs.B&W here. Doubleplusgood.

[@AlwaysHalloween000]

Reminds a little of older R.E.M from the early 80's

[@voodookook]

Supreme! Love it

[@livinlegends75]

Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn brought me here.

[@andybrowning8258]

Bahaha...same! Why didn't I ever hear of this back in the day??

[@anewhope1827]

Good call on Hope Sandoval. Thanks for the thought.

[@michielgovaert430]

Sheer Terror brought me here

[@AlanRibeirohipnose]

Muito bom!!

[@TheNowhereman9]

It`s my name :)))))

[@tronG98]

Don't even give women a chance. Be cruel b4 they get a foothold. They will ruin you. They will give you something that you finally care about and then take it away. I just wanted to be with my kids all the time.

[@gummo6596]

Salome, uncross your heart I know what goes on inside, it's over before it starts Stay all night, yeah I'll wait right here The full moon might work magic, girl but I won't disappear And I'm tired of makin' friends and I'm tired of makin' time And I'm sick to death of love and I'm sick to death of tryin' And it's easier for you, oh it's easier for you And it's easier for you, it's easier for you Salome, untie my hands Well I'll find another lady and you'll wreck another man It's over now, yeah and so are we My blood's turned to dirt, girl you broke every part of me And I'm tired of makin' friends and I'm tired of makin' time And I'm sick to death of love and I'm sick to death of tryin' And it's easier for you, oh it's easier for you And it's easier for you, oh it's easier And I'm tired of makin' friends and I'm tired of makin' time And I'm sick to death of love and I'm sick to death of tryin' And it's easier for you, yeah it's easier for you And it's easier for you, oh it's easier for you And it's easier for you, oh it's easier for you, oh

[@GageSmiff]

Ryan Adams’ favorite

[@johnstewartmeyer1631]

fine video. i wonder if the women think, just another man whinging.

[@MarshallWillanholli]

sometimes the man is whining and sometimes the woman is whining.... That's how love works. A VERY beautiful song no matter how you look at it. Using the name Salome is great too, if you remember she is the daughter of Herodias and she is the one who asked for the head of John the Baptist

[@WDHAGN]

same here :)

[@draft1643]

you shoudl have just filmed a squirrel running around or something

[@jackalvulture]

What a weird song about preserved meat.

[@moefan87]

gee I wonder if this guy got dumped..?

[@jaxsanchez1]

Actually moefan87, No I wasn't dumped, I just made this video because I always pictured this song that way in my head.

[@moefan87]

well I just got dumped by my boyfriend. that's why im listening to this.

[@moefan87]

It was my way of making a joke, since the song is so sad.

[@jpweiss55091]

moefan87 Sorry, hope you have found someone new.

[@salome1508]

@TheNowhereman9 Me too! :D

[@amanda34639]

Also? I know he's all married up now, but years ago, he was doing a backward bend in the green room and kissing me up. Again-before his marriage.

[@Bbammy]

@fizzygillespie Yup!

[@CCOOKE88]

oof
