Soul Coughing - Lazybones

Artiste : Soul Coughing Album : Irresistible Bliss

[@tonycontijr]

Just put this song on and i'm 18 again.... amazing the power of music

[@clamage]

I'm touched. Now let's remember why we're all here and celebrate a unique band who made a couple of incredible albums that made me feel a little bit special at an age when that was important.

"If I could stay here under your idle caress and not exit to the world and phoniness... and people....." Favorite chill song of all time

[@stephenkennedy4493]

I played the hell put of Soul Coughing in the 90s . I never really listened to the lyrics. Here, later in life, bored during a pandemic, I am pulling out old CDs and finding myself actually listening and resesrching the songs. This song is much much deeper and sad than I could have imagined. Mike Doughty said in an interview "It's about a guy who does heroin that falls in love with a girl who's drunk, and they don't really click because their drugs aren't really compatible." Let's just open up a can of emotions and dump them everywhere.

[@Gods_Real]

They lied...stop advertising about inference that's free, you government schill. They dfc care about you either. fool and loser. Just indicates you're paid by them. Youre not a leader. I'll make multiple nations under God....bit**. 😂😂

[@snufkin5496]

Every little now and then. When my moment of weakness comes back and I turn to stare on the past, I always find my way back to this song.

[@scotthubert9724]

I've seen Soul Coughing 4 times in my life up until last Tuesday in Minneapolis which was number 5. Words cannot describe how much I LOVE this band! My face hurt from smiling and even got emotional during this song. Now that its over, I'm left with an empty feeling like there's nothing left except old age and just memories of my 20's. Mark Sandman said from Morphine....DO NOT GO QUIETLY UNTO YOUR GRAVE!

[@elaztec.aztecca]

Can’t believe how much I missed out not ever seeing this band live - uggh.

[@zepps88]

"When all the noise has left your head Will someday you rise off the bed? I'll be there to lift you, lazybones." In only 3 lines he somehow manages to sum up battling depression.

[@AmbikaLevityNico]

And those who truly support them ;-).

[@Domozorro]

Sleep in. I'll make breakfast

[@smackbolt]

I came for the melancholic /groovy beats, but stayed for the clever, staccato lyrics (AND melancholic /groovy beats)

[@composerdoh]

I've never heard this song before, but there's something amazing about it- I think he more or less only uses the first 5 notes of the major scale in the entire song (although he uses a flat 7th degree I think in a couple of spots), yet the band manages to keep harmonically and sonically reinterpreting those 5 notes like shifting clouds in the sky, creating this constantly shifting sonic skyscape. That and his trippy, poignant lyrics create an amazingly powerful piece. Wow. So impressed.

[@jcab404]

This will always be one of my favorite bands.

[@JesusLovesTheBong]

For me, this song is still a musical revelation.

[@SheagleArk]

A decade later, do you still feel the same?

[@djnone8137]

I do from relapse at 40

[@Pigcapitalist89]

What an amazing track. I swear soul coughing is what i need to put myself back in place

[@JoeyCrackization]

I feel that so much.

[@snufkin5496]

[@TheEscapeEngine]

[@larrydotson2625]

[@Pigcapitalist89]

lyrics.. samplles.. voice.. underrated band of 90s,, Lazy bones, sleeping in the shade How you 'spect to get your cornmeal made? You'll never get your corn meal made Sleeping in the evening shade 90s was the era of abstract lyrics..

[@jamesbelljr]

Forgot about this jam...thanks for posting!

[@AnonsCrossfader]

There hasn't been a band this genius since they broke up.

[@alpdigitalfilmworks9174]

"Cameraman sways to remember how the eye dances..." Who DA FUQ even writes lyrics like that today???

[@mr.dales3rd-4thmath61]

An X-Files episode showcased a song called Black Helicopters by Soul Coughing,,,,first time ever heard of them

[@angelricchi1321]

and one of the Lone Gunmen often uses a Soul Coughing shirt too

[@JoaquimGonsalves]

thank you for the upload. Love this song. Found a new artist now.:)

[@Coopermcfaden]

The bass in this song is really good

[@karoloandria]

the first time i heared this song i crayed of joy

[@darkshad0wz69]

to quote Mike Doughty it's about a guy and girl who are trying to fall in love but she's a drunk and he's a smack freak and they just can't coincide together but i love this song

[@mdevitt88030]

I saw these guys live numerous times. It is the most vivid groove. The most beautiful pump. Such wonderful outer space.

[@mr.dales3rd-4thmath61]

This is a cool song, great bass

[@MrHaymaker999]

great song, great band

[@gupta5882]

simple yet so powerful!

[@superarisu]

I always thought he was saying "if I could stay here under your auto flores[cence].

[@Travelin_Man]

Takes me back to senior year every time

[@CthrillaJ]

drunkeness is a hand held scrambling down to lassie...

[@dunnrite4203]

Love The Soul

[@darkshad0wz69]

I love Mike Doughty's voice its a little nasally but that adds flavor, attitude, and personality to the song ;-) but over all love Soul Coughing even though its slang for having a protein spill lol

[@kevinmurray]

ahh, damn.. I miss these guys!!!

[@cotymcclung]

Hoagy Carmichael-Lazybones, is also one of my faves!

[@Futureman75]

If I could stay here under your idle caress and not exit into the world of phoniness and people....

[@lucab9783]

Long time ago....sigh

[@apsh1964]

Yes I was a "younger man" hearing this for the first time. :-)

[@Jcush21]

Money sleeps inside the banks. :-)

[@wbneilsen]

The picture was small before I clicked on it. Thought that was the ghost busters for a hot second

[@da12ius]

If i could stay here under your idle caress and not exit to the world and phoniness and people...

[@youspoppa]

Great song. I think Devo want their jumpsuits back, though.

[@XMIR10C]

incredible

[@galiagabay3811]

[@galiagabay3811]

[@XMIR10C]

+galia 15 \heard this on a podcast CJSW Catharsis

[@liammcooper]

Tell your Dad he's got one of the greatest styles ever.

[@galiagabay3811]

I'm ok

[@galiagabay3811]

[@galiagabay3811]

+Liam Cooper thx

[@Drewler224]

This feels like the first time I smoked weed....as I smoke J

[@gfimadcat]

@markybb35 lucky you, I play it on my bass from time to time and it's easy to spend 2 hours doing it :P

[@ponyboycurtis9179]

[@Jcush21]

Cameraman sways to remember how the eye dances.

[@EdwardMarshall1982]

If I could stay here, under your idle caress And not exit to the world and phoniness and people.

[@wareq]

For a moment I thought this would be a weird Leon Redbone cover

[@XMIR10C]

back here

[@loopysausage]

This song shows how crap modern music has become. :(

[@benjantzen8910]

Yes

[@EyesHaveMiles420]

@kdmphotography You're not the only one.

[@markybb35]

ROCKS AND KICKS ASS

[@Domozorro]

10:11

[@XMIR10C]

Heard this on CJSW

[@jenniferkarsikas8183]

takes me back to the Super 8

[@innerxcityxkittie]

how is it that the ad before this video is for step up revolution. lame.

[@clamage]

It is logically impossible to more or less unique. It contradicts the meaning of the word 'unique'. You'd have thought a fan of the band responsible for the lyric "correlation is not causation" would understand this. Still, no-one likes a pedant, and fucking awesome track.

[@EyesHaveMiles420]

@markybb35 Lucky.

[@XMIR10C]

PODCAST catharsis

[@theloneranger2]

hahaha, down DELANCEY

[@tenbux]

@dudelikesWoW yea, the 90's were good for that....wtf happened to originality anyway?

[@MrScottbarker]

Just read an interview with Mike Doughty, concerning his new book, and apparently he hates the music he made with this band:(

[@AmbikaLevityNico]

He was the youngest punk of a very hip fusion band. They didn’t get along.

[@zepps88]

"When all the noise has left your head Will someday you rise off the bed? I'll be there to lift you, lazybones." In only 3 lines he somehow manages to sum up battling depression.

[@TheEscapeEngine]

Addiction as well.
