String Cheese Incident - Joyful Sound

Take time to give thanks
Make time to be given
I'm going to stop and think twice
About the way that I'm living
Did I say a kind word
Am I proud of my actions
You know a job well done
Gives me satisfaction
Can I earn your trust
Your love and affection
Just one step at a time
In the right direction
Going to aim for the sky
Keep my feet on the ground
Raise my voice to the heavens
Make a joyful sound
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Naaaaaaa....
Make a joyful sound
Can I sing for my supper
And play for my rent
I know it sounds funny
But it's how my time's spent
Greet everyday with full purpose
With passion and pride
I'm going to follow my heart
And have nothing to hide
A moment of insight
I know why I'm here
You know when the time just stops
See it all real clear
I've got to set an example
Make some mischief and fun
Do unto others and
Play a fat bass run
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Naaaaaaa....
Make a joyful sound I got to work hard everyday
And give it my best
Grab hold of fear and negativity
And lay them to rest
I know my time here's important
Can I do the right thing?
Practice patience and forgiveness
Feel the joy that they bring
Can I lay down tonight
Without feeling regret?
I know the love that I give
Becomes the love that I get
Well do you hear what I'm saying
Making sense to you?
Well if you feel it in your heart
Then you might want to sing too
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Naaaaaaa....
Make a joyful sound
I don't want to sound preachy
Make you feel all wrong
Just want to write some kind lyrics
Sing a feel good song
It's kind of hard to explain
It is just a feeling I get
From making music making love
Getting both feet wet
Well every piece to the puzzle
Snapped tight to the groove
I Close my eyes breathe deeply and
Let my feet move
You know I feel a little better
Now for speaking my mind
Good vibes in circulation and
See who they find
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Naaaaaaa....
Make a joyful sound

This is my first time hearing these guys, im diggin it :)

[@willsutherland8618]

My dad got killed on the 16th of september this year and he asked me to listen to this song few weeks before he went. I didn’t listen to it at the time he was just asking for forgiveness and another chance. I already had forgiven him I hope he forgives himself 🙏🏼

[@djlazypaul]

Used to listen to these guys when I was bartending. Such a tight band!

[@roberteckstein1009]

Thankful for this during the fucked up times we're living in now.

[@chels3315]

This version of joyful is straight fuego 🔥

[@missy448]

I love CHEEESE ha! WHAT a joyful sound.... PLUS I love EOTO, and this sounds amazing. Joyful and grateful!

[@Heavensburden]

Lol :D They're one of the few bands who will just... improv jams because they're feeling it. I adore them. But to each their own.

[@greggrobinson9075]

This video embodies everything that is Cheese. Love you guys ✊

[@ruslanali-zade5031]

Nothing wrong with some heady jams

[@hotfintuna]

[@roguewolf1971]

I love this so much.

[@msd030790]

I WANNA GO BACK!

[@yenlove28]

In love with this song this video gives me goosebumps :)

[@donnajones2933]

Love this! When it first came on I thought it was go go!

[@Daniel39683]

Great sound

[@lindajackson9096]

I love this song!

[@michaela234]

the fact that String Cheese Incident was referenced on Orange is the New Black makes my life so much better

[@zennastarr]

I love your song!

[@respirimusica]

love jam band, love wobbles, PLUR and music peeps!

[@lindseymiller7954]

that's just gotta be the best song ever created.

[@frankmalocsay3918]

seeing you 11 times and each time it's better

[@Breeder333]

the message!

[@phish420phan]

@mbglosser well said phish takes it to a whole different level

[@frankmalocsay3918]

you guys rock

[@Southology]

Good vibes :)

[@joeinoc]

What you people dont get is: you can like more than one band!

[@shone1088]

SCI's crowd/atmosphere is so much better than a Phish crowd. So much love in the air at a SCI concert. SCI can do anything musically they want where I think that Phish is more limited. SCI BABY!!!!

[@guywoodhouse4684]

phish sucks and their fans REALLY suck !

[@dingokalais]

how could you dislike this!

[@ColoradoSon19]

so cool

[@Heavensburden]

No kidding >.< people are always arguing about stuff like that. My favorite band is DMB, but does that mean I don't like other bands and there is only Dave Matthews? No! I listen to everything from Billy Holiday to Oomph. That's the wonderful thing about music. It's never ending, a million sounds, a million bands and you can like or hate em all :) Don't limit it.

[@aprilpresley9622]

Pretty sick

[@kevo2115]

yessss!

[@wowimaoi]

@k2ombs then turn the volume up?

[@thatJimwiththenes]

"that was pretty good"

[@lisacat12508]

they are cool

[@andrewbc2]

these guys know how to jam

[@samanthakleyn9121]

electric forester for life

[@cheesygruven]

gotta love iclips :)

[@twopercentallday8495]

My first born is named after all this song represents....

[@maryvanlandingham7947]

oooh this love :(((((((hugs)))))))))):)

[@iceaxe56]

This sounds like a soundtrack for a 70's porno flick

[@yowtfwasthatish]

LOVE CHEESE

[@hellatight20]

@TCproductionsvideo I have the eoto jam video as well... which goes into rollin in my sweet baby's arms.

[@tomgaghan2915]

I miss you all so much

[@katony42]

Any idea what show this is from?

[@writer125]

Great version of this song, where was this from please? Would like to get a copy of this show.

[@Shockeclipse]

Electric Forest :p

[@carlahicks3726]

Gouda with nonfat gotcha

[@Kevinday99]

If I go to hell to be tortured for all eternity, this band will provide the soundtrack.

[@Hoaxster54]

Check out the acoustic guitar synth trip starting at 3:30.

[@kylealexander1172]

Hoke Smith fuckin awesome! I'm a 26 year old deadhead been playing guitar all my life. Recently found SCI while listening to my usual grateful dead favs and think thier odd, but Good! That older dude on guitar is damn good! Very Jerry like!

[@khpierce8]

Can you buy the whole show from iclips??

[@jakes3350]

i had to watch a full snickers cmomercial to watch this. i hate snickers.

[@beve19881]

this is so sick

[@carlahicks3726]

Sober 🧀? A reality? 😂

[@troll95951]

Why did they cancel their tour?!?!

[@troll95951]

why did they cancel their tour?! :(

[@sublime02407]

hahahah atleast this kid accepts that hes a troll

[@davidaue3281]

Hi, you must be new here...

[@mikeoconnell2039]

Ugh D: how are these guys playing three shows at electric forest.

[@mbglosser]

@shone1088 maybe you have a point if you are talking about Phish over the last few years.. And I agree the SCI crowd is a bit chiller (currently) .. But if we're talking 90's Phish.. Musically limited ? That's insane .. Phish from that period was the exact opposite of limited .. Their music could go anywhere at anytime and they jammed in every genre know to man

[@stsn9ne]

jammin haard

[@tspring12]

Because it's string cheeses festival. There will be enough electronic shit to feed your bass hunger don't worry. But try to open your mind and give string cheeses set a Chance, they will grow on you if u see them live in person

[@frostybrew13]

not hipster music...hippie music huge difference. hipsters like starbucks and indie music

[@joeinoc]

Except DMB, they are weak :)

[@julianfoster2449]

Is this Asheville?

[@k2ombs]

The level is too low....too bad...it's awesome footage with great sound quality...BUT SOUNDS TOO QUIET....bummer.

[@APheonixPretense8]

@NegativisticBeing oops...I misunderstood and would totally agree. My bad

[@brianbond7856]

Who is this

[@chicosdetwist]

nice troll.

[@boobookey1]

where is this show?

[@War54Eagle]

Electric Forest Music Festival, ive been the past two years. saw this live while trippin on some doses. pretty awesome.

[@boobookey1]

War54Eagle sweet thanks :D yah these guys and umph put on amazing shows

[@jralls41]

War54Eagle sweet brah, also that's definitely an indoor venue; looks like hampton

[@hellatight20]

Hampton coliseum. Halloween, 2010

[@War54Eagle]

Robert Kinsington hey bobby brady, wanna go fuck yourself?

[@infinitytimez2]

Bad troll is bad

[@sellinutah]

nickelback? Who??

[@rickinsh]

This does not live up to the studio version but I love the song.

[@theCREAPx]

damn man, people really dont get that hippies and hipsters are not the same...first of all, hippies are awesome!

[@AUnit2010]

Yep. Everyone is awesome till find out they aren't.

[@mbglosser]

I love this shit ... But I have SCI fan friends come up to me all the time telling me how phish sucks and I need to get into the cheese ... As much as I enjoy SCI .. Cheese, moe. WSP, bisco, ymsb, umphreys, rusted root, etc etc. are nowhere near the level of Phish.. I like almost every band I named but they are still - phish

[@letustesh]

Phish is starting to come back though. They've been starting to do a lot of things close to some 90's intensity. Sure it's not quite the same, but they're still killin' it.

[@charaara]

Cool but not close to what phish does

[@mccall1983]

dopeerthandope c thank god.....

[@MrFiveKDrew]

dopeerthandope c good one

[@roblehsten7111]

Your totally right cause phish is a different band, and string cheese totally blows them out of the water

[@ashleybrown5818]

Why compare?

[@shortbusnews1973]

voodoo juice I like cheese and Panic way better then Phish but different strokes and all

[@mikeoconnell2039]

Ugh D(

[@seasekp]

@beve19881 Oh, just "walk on."

[@trevorbrooks7184]

whats worng with hipster music? I listen to 5 finger death punch and I still think this music is good.

[@brianweston8167]

Well considering Cheese saved the rothbury festival by fronting A LOT of the money for it, that might be a reason. Another might be this band has been tearing up a lot longer than bass wobbles and house tech. Expand your horizons. There is life beyond Pretty Lights.

[@happyhourhero91]

WTF did they do to this song?! shameful

[@blackalabaster616]

I'm pretty sure they actually are the worst band ever. Check your facts.

[@dakronikles]

Troll or not. Your shit is weak.

[@MattLagomarsino]

Why are you hating on nickelback so hard? They're definetely not one of the worst bands ever wtf? Dont hate on any music if you dont put out any music yourself. Music is expression of free will
