About St. Paul and The Broken Bones:
Grit, elemental rhythm, tight-as-a-drumhead playing, and a profound depth of feeling: these are the promises of a great soul band. And St. Paul & The Broken Bones deliver on those promises.
Half The City is the compelling full-length Single Lock/Thirty Tigers debut of the Birmingham, Alabama-based sextet, who have already created a maelstrom of interest with their roof-raising live shows and self-released four-song 2012 EP. Produced by Ben Tanner of Alabama Shakes, and recorded and mixed in the storied R&B mecca of Muscle Shoals, Alabama, the album harkens back to the region’s classic soul roots while extending the form with electrifying potency.

Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Young Love has made me old
Tired restless and blue
When it comes and she goes
Says goodbye to my poor soul
Broken bones and pocket change
This heart is all she left me with
[Verse 2]
Reckless love has made me cold
Worn down just like shoes
Ain't nobody, Ain't nobody gonna love me
I'll just stand here, all alone
[Hook]
Broken bones and pocket change
This heart is all she left me with
[Verse 3]
I got it bad baby
I got it so bad
And I'm down
Oh I'm down on my knees
[Bridge]
Music died and it let me go
Said goodbye to my poor soul
The melody, why have you forsaken me
[Chorus]
Broken bones and pocket change
This heart is all she left me with
Broken bones and pocket change
This heart is all she left me with
This heart is all she left me with
This heart is all she left me with
[Outro]
Oh but I, Oh but I, Oh but Ive been broken
Can't take, Can't take it down
Im going down, I'm going down today

[@grenerd161]

[@hannahyates866]

We had our first dance to this song on our wedding day - this specific version. I had to get over the fact that it is horribly sad because more importantly, it is beautiful.

[@Phoenix-rising]

Marriage is expropriation and degradation of men.

[@bunnysir123]

[@journeymarket]

Never heard of these guys...and I’m from Alabama!! Yes, I’m ashamed. Ran across them on the SEC Network channel promoting a new show called True South. These guys are fantastic!!

[@susanmonaghan4966]

Wow, so glad I was led to this. That voice! That's the kind of hook that would pull me in, no matter where I heard it. The band is great too, fabulous sound. Whew!! I'm spent...

One of the best versions of this song anywhere.

[@cheesecakelasagna]

Damn! I was just searching for a song sampled in a rap song through the lyrics I heard and now I'm here, but not lost.

[@batthatter3491]

I found you from watching Willie Nelson's 4/20 live stream last night. I'm so pissed I didn't know about you guys before. However I'm ECSTATIC that I found you at all. Instant fan!! This kind of talent is astronomical. Just.....wow.

[@unlimited_71]

[@yossyishak]

I Just hear Your music sound and Closing my eyes!

[@robdavidson43]

I’d never heard of this group until this song played on Sirius radio one day. I was hooked at first listen. They are amazing! Fortunate to have them come through Indy a few months later so I saw them a couple weeks ago now. Catch ‘em live if you can. I’m a fan now 🙌🏻

[@johnwatts1794]

Holy fucking hell. Music is probably the most important thing to me other than my children. This right here, absolutely one of the most soulful, touching voices and songs I have ever heard

[@batthatter3491]

Thank you so much, Willie Nelson, (4/20/20 streaming quarantine party) for introducing me to this man and his amazing band. Willie Nelson has done so many things for me and my life, and to be the year 2020 and he's still contributing greatness to the musical world, is nothing short of an absolute continued miracle. All the love and all of the great wishes of great things in the Universe to all of you reading my stupid post. Regardless of what age you are or what stage you are in life, you absolutely deserve all the positive energy that these words can provide. And I hope like hell it's enough. Keep pushing forward through whatever strife you're going through right now, and never ever ever ever give up. No no matter how long it takes, you will absolutely outlast it. Cheers.

[@alihandemiroglu3429]

One Word "WOW"

[@DigititalPhantasm]

I'm in love with his voice!

[@shivonnejanae7405]

[@RisaKoppMusic]

The first time I hear his voice, I was awestruck. I'm very picky about voices, since I am a singer myself. So fantastic!

[@OurVinyl]

+Erisa Rei One of the best out there....

[@kawscottyoung]

Walked in, clicked on the amp, and just when it warmed up this came on. Kinda unbelievable. Speakers didn't clip out, It was real nice. Sure am fortunate to be within 5 miles of WQFS Greensboro NC Guilford College Radio and their giant 5000 watt signal.
