Social Distortion - lost and found

[@thiseyewinks]

This along with Reach For the Sky, and Winners and Losers, should be the theme songs in my sobriety... I'm so grateful for artists that sing about the truths in their lives. I hope they realize how many of us they have helped!!!

[@davidornelas5563]

Congrats, man. Ten years sober here and have always loved Mike Ness's attachment to that second chance gift and reality.

[@michaelsabaka4222]

I wish SD would put out an album with these unreleased songs like Can't Hide, Lost and Found, Got Nothin Comin, The Lost Tracks, what a collection. What a great band, Mike Ness is as good as any artist ever about telling life stories to great music!. Unbelievable ability to put into music what we've all gone through at some point in our life.

[@thehastyterrainmaker9485]

By time they come out with a new album, been 8 long years and I AGREE, TONS of great unreleased songs that could make a sweet new album

[@gassyirishman2859]

Mike Ness is too much of an asshole to do what the fans want

[@ModernOddity728]

"Diamond In The Rough" off the album Hard Times & Nursery Rhymes is basically this song rewritten. Appreciate the more bluesy tone of this demo though.

[@JasonDeloye]

It's on the album lost tracks $60 album that's sold out lol!

[@ManoNegraCG]

All time favourite band. 36 years of honest and straight from the heart stuff. I'm thankful they've always been in my life.

[@Germfish]

Same. Their music helped me out in some rough spots earlier in my life. Could relate to their music so much. This is real music.

[@darrenedwards6305]

Best ever band of My Life...seems new whenever I hear..first song 84

[@davidornelas5563]

Discovered SocialD in 1984. Am 69 years old and still blasting old and new SD. Uniquely primal Americana rock and roll storytelling without losing incredibly memorable melodies. A place near the top of punk rock history. 😮

[@giop1595]

literally saved my life. ive seen Mike in concert and there is no one like him and Soc D. i owe him my life dragging myself out of the gutter to live another day

[@staceyhartman6825]

I saw in Pittsburgh. Loved him. Great concert. Years later the liberal mfsb beating a fan who supports Trump as I do. Couldn't keep his cksng WEST COAST LIBERAL MOUTH SHUT! I pay big concert money to see a band, I don't want to listen 4 a half hour about him voicing politics. I want the music from one of the most talented singer songwriters of my generation. So shut the fck up, and sing what made me luv you.

[@GreasyHairedKid]

This song and basicaly all the other Social Distortion songs has got me through so much stuff: depression, an addiction, a breakup, family problems, and more. I listen to this song and look back, and i still love this song and Social D.

[@jamiekantonky8999]

Social D has always been there for me

[@JasonDeloye]

Social studies u know....

[@XXPLUTONIXX]

Man you can feel the pain in this song. One of my favorite Social D tracks.

[@codymccracken9813]

Its beautiful

[@marceloortega8624]

I've been lost but now I'm found. Thank you Jesus! SD rocks!

[@ericwanderweg8525]

I listened to Social Distortion throughout my active addiction, and now that I'm recovery Mike Ness's lyrics hit home for me on such a deeper level. Gotta respect the man for his talents as well as his own journey in recovery.

[@davidornelas5563]

Same here. Finally found sustained sobriety at 69 years old, having started my in and out drunken journey back in 1977. Ten years sober today. Thirty-nine years with SocialD.

[@GreasyHairedKid]

Alot of social distortion songs fit all us very well. At least thats why i like social distortion alot, not just because of their good rythem and soulful music but because i can relate to mike ness's lyrics and can feel the sincerity in his music.

[@PabloOB]

Reminds my of that qoute: "Suffering passes, but the fact of having suffered never passes." Leon Bloy

[@Jose2184]

Thank you for sharing the Lost Tracks. This was the framework to what became Diamond in the Rough, Alot of the lyrics and you can hear part of the melody in this song. Mike and SD never seize to amaze me, 30+ years of songs that anyone can relate to on any level. Can't wait to see them live Jan 3rd in SD :)

[@rjplamf61]

I've been lost and not found. Seems like I just can't shake my demons off my back. Tried many times and I am tired o trying. God Bless all of you who have been found.

[@jamiekantonky8999]

Message me any time

[@rockhard4freespeech]

Im with you on that...i was in a dark time and they pulled me out of hell out of the belief that i was worthless and so was life I owe my life to them and it feels good to see im not the only one! cheers!

[@thodorisgiannakas4692]

A level on their own! Simple as that So many memories with that music. I cannot even explain

[@bloodboughtbigphilr8266]

Social D are always so ahead of the pack. Superb track by a quality band.

[@remy1945]

Thanks for the post Bro!!! I'm going to see them tomorrow! I have to drive 360 miles....So worth it!!! This band saved my life, literally.

[@TulipOfForver]

Finally a good song with NO dislikes.

[@triciajones3416]

My hugs and many,many,many, big kisses. 💋💋💋💋 To these beautiful boys for kicking ass for all these years,! Much love to you all . ❤️🌹

[@21KAVLAS]

So excited I got my ticket yesterday march 1 in Orange County

[@moehawk4736]

Lucky yo, it would be nice if they came to St. Louis, mo. Been wanting to see social Distortion live forever now. But stl, doesn't seem to get much love these days.v

[@OCEANVIEWNORFOK757]

social d has made a difference in my life,mike ness knows about those hard times and gets us thru,see yall may 17

[@jimsmitn7569]

Great song

[@chrisharvey7843]

Great song and good job on the slideshow

[@badleech]

+Chris Harvey Thanks : )

[@dawnnarouleau6269]

Dam do I like this song and Dope Fiend Blues. They just get me into the zone were I can work away on the computer. Really all of Mike's stuff does that.

[@RollingStonerTV]

Questions that I employed.priceless my brother's & sisters.

[@31Roadsterford]

Zero dislikes. No wonder, this is A W E S O M E :D

[@RoMeyer-h4n]

Old time rock&roll since 1979

[@meacenastiberius9438]

Thanks for the upload of a great song.

[@hg5508]

justo really started to listening to these guys man they real good

[@LPRory]

anyone notice the lyrics " I was looking for somethin' Anything at all. Something to belive in. Written on the bathroom wall" is the same lyrics from SD's Diamond in the Rough? same exact lyrics

[@kellykaraoglu3572]

I love this!!! ❤👏

[@lomker24]

as always......Great .......I think I'm their biggest fan

[@REMIHUSE]

Social D got alot of great songs that is not realsed, its realy sad thing because some of the best songs of SD is songs that never will be on a record

[@scorpionleader424]

been i listen them seince 1991. songs are very deep and take to place humble myself.

[@TheALyon8]

Also Tom Petty's Last Dance with Mary Jane and the second part of The Black Keys' Little Black Submarines. It's a very common chord progression. :)

[@sydslaughter333]

Mike Ness is a fucking legend

[@adeprastya1205]

I can feel the distortion

[@elfonero1492]

I’m very melancholic with this song and the covers album are so great🔥

[@BrokenxString]

This is a great song!

[@glennbo76]

I would love to see "A Diamond in the Rough" on the new record coming out this Fall!

[@REMIHUSE]

Mike ness i GREAT song writer. Cant wait for their concert here in Norway

[@racelike]

In love with this song

[@mandaloolux9216]

Wish I knew about this band years ago.

[@2hip549]

well now you do . enjoy! ;)

[@gatoreneatyahoo]

Bad ass song they should have this one in the lost tracks

[@pablo-dy2wf]

Very nice song!!!!

[@thezombie7839]

Cool song. Parts of it made their ways into Diamond In The Rough. I wonder if he rewrote it because it sounded like Mary Jane's Last Dance.

[@badleech]

I didn`t even know about this song... cool. yeah, I checked it. another line is the same: "There was a time when, I could not say I got a reason to live another day." that`s also in "diamond in the Rough"... but hey, I like both songs :) social d. just kicks ass!

[@badleech]

no problem ;) there are some songs, which people might not know, e.g. "alone and forsaken" or an alternative version of crown of thornes...

[@Attarraxxia]

You should toss those ones up too, my track list is getting monotonous and needs some new tracks. Especially the other "dope fiend blues" version, that song is deadly.

[@marciobarbosa9767]

Eu queria ouvir essa.musica com.legenda em portugues mais nao tem

[@gingermood9655]

guter song,danke fürs hochladen

[@Dzav05]

Good song!! Fits me well

[@Turtle665]

Another great song from S.D.

[@jamiekantonky8999]

Therapy. My fab song

[@garage186tv8]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@cashlandrumful]

Mike Ness is mix of Hank Williams and Johnny Cash playing through a Marshall Bassman Amp...uniquely punk, uniquely country, uniquely SoCal.

[@moibossici]

Thanks for that!

[@society86]

I'll take Social D any day over Cash anyday, real pure slice of americana right here, so deep

[@michaelthompson5782]

I know what your saying, I will take both. Without JC, who knows how we would see Social D today. Ness is a living legend...JC and Ness fall from the same tree. Both rare and incredible. Both similar yet carry their own.....

[@gnarlescharles9418]

[@thehastyterrainmaker9485]

Johnny do you realize Cash is one of Ness' MAIN hero's?

[@SkaterChick1972]

Indeed

[@yewzernayme9247]

SD's Ring of Fire is better than Mr. Cash's. Fight me.

[@raccooncityghost5991]

This is one of those songs, where you turn the volume up and just drive with no real destination

[@badleech]

so true :)

[@BrokenxString]

I love this song, I just found it the other day and I've been listening to it non-stop. The chords sound like they would be pretty simple to play and I was wondering if anyone knew them? Thanks! (:

[@DiaVerdePSP]

Of what album is this song?

[@badleech]

yeah, I have the bootleg (or demo version, I don`t know exactly) from 1994. songs like "do it again" or "love me tonight". and also some other versions of "dope fiend blues" or "don`t drag me down". do you know them?

On which CD is this song? I really like it!!

​@badleech it's honestly the best thing they have put out since 1992.

it`s on a bootleg called "lost tracks vol. 2" it`s not an official release.

[@Vega00007]

Amen

[@OKDogtownPodcast]

The first part is Last Dance With Mary Jane

[@goaway8871]

It's surprisingly common to accidentally reinvent a Tom Petty Song. Everclear has a similar effect on guitar players.

[@badleech]

It's from an old bootleg called "lost tracks". From... 1996 or something.

[@Gardyy_1]

Anyone found this one on spotify?

[@kellykaraoglu3572]

Why is this song not on Apple music 😢

[@badleech]

It is not an official release and on no album... only on some lost tapes / demos from the 90s. But well, maybe they will someday release all those.. maybe...

[@badleech]

mhm, I might upload another song. don`t expect a great video, it`s all about the music^^

[@conarlebarban2456]

This song is not available on spotify 😑

[@lbb101]

@fireninja242 I agree. That's just how much melody changes the vibe & meaning. But the lyrics and words are pretty much the same, just arranged a little different......

[@Paradeplatz01]

👏

[@RageNerd69]

any ideas what the chords might be for this?

[@timas3128]

A minor - C - G - D maybe? Not 100% sure

[@LPRory]

what album is this on?

[@Tigerpuffer]

Lyrically, I imagine this is an early version of Diamond in the Rough.

I highly doubt this, I found it somewhere on the internet a long time ago...
