Lyrics :
Walking tipsy, briskly from the scene of the crash,
It felt too good how high you stood it would not last
You broke a few hearts .. a couple promises too -
Left arm, Left leg, your Eye socket's blue, oh
Will the throbbing in your head ever stop?
The taste of blood encased in mud -
it aches on the topYou'll take a 7... and a SEVEN once more
Take it down, await the town, and break on the floor
You won't make it. Take it
You cannot sleep
Living day to day, it shakes you - they struck you deep
You're a blatant stranger changer until you're deceased
This is yours now, your pain to keep
Grab a cutlass, a rope, and frame from that shrine
Don't forget the angel sent from lord divine
Able men won't come, so it's just me and you
We need to show them why they're out,
They only knew
Table any thought because it's time to shine
Any disappointment come and meet me this time
In the wrong? Please... just take in that view
Can it for your sisters and your mothers too
You won't make it. Take it
You cannot sleep
Living day to day, it shakes you - they struck you deep
You're a blatant stranger changer until you're deceased
This is yours now, your pain to keep
Drift out in the ocean - Goshen. Take the leap
Shadows only haunt the children of the discreet
Sway until the day it makes it, they will fall right
Bright away the chains and stakes and fall down for the night

Very cool to see Danny taking the lead on this one. With three AMAZING voices in this band I'm thankful they give each one opportunities to shine!

[@mattsperk1238]

Agreed!!

[@anf-2abuffalo603]

+ a voice overall in Crawdaddy.

My first thought as well, the foreground suits him well

[@pathfinderkma]

When my country was invaded, I volunteered and mobilized into the army in March 2022. After some months on the frontline and a year of serving, I was demobilized and tried to adapt back to civilian life. This week, I received news of my former unit deployed near Avdiivka and 20 people, whom I knew very well and served with, already missing in action. Hearing the music and the lyrics, I was able to cry for the first time in months. Thank you for that.

Good story, bro. And your playlist is even better. LOL.

Never thought Canadians would do Southern music so well. Yet, here we are and they are great. Well Done Boys!!

Canada has a South, too. It just happens to be further north.

A new Dead South song every day still wouldn't be enough. Love you guys!!!

[@karlaruter3221]

My absolutely favorite band

[@amanda3548]

Agreed. They are awesome!

Living day to day, it shakes you - they struck you deep

[@Z0RDR4CK]

You can no longer imagine what a world without the internet would look like, where you would never in your life have the opportunity to almost stumble past such a great band, pause and enjoy.

[@Archie854]

Cause back in the day you could hear them once and would have to give life and savings to hear them twice now you can grab a device and hear them thrice

Love The Dead South - Saskatchewan Boys - Deep South Canadian Style 🍁🔥🍁❤🍁🔥🍁

[@phlyers13]

Another hit! Love to see Danny getting a chance to show off the pipes.

[@BiggestTDSfan]

Amazing voice frr

[@Sides3Sides]

As if his cello playing wasn’t enough! I love his versatility

[@DubsStop]

New album tomorrow! Hell yeah!

[@gohumberto]

Big shout out to the videographer/editor on this video . The grading and lighting (smoke or mist filter?) is beautiful.

[@deantasty7421]

So true! First shot looks like a Wes Anderson movie

[@Hyokano]

I’m a Japanese immigrant who got into bluegrass and love the Dead South and wish they’d perform in Japan and make it big there

[@margaretstleone4204]

So love theses guys. I’m an Aussie and was introduced to them by my son who was stationed in America. What a special time.

[@AscheWholeProductions]

It's so great to know there is still a place in this world for clean, simple music. Wishing all of you continued success in your endeavors.

[@321bytor]

What is 'clean, simple music'?

[@nwerd7584]

@@321bytor probably has minimal vulgarity and a straightforward song structure, I would imagine

[@321bytor]

@@nwerd7584 ‘minimal vulgarity’ and ‘straightforward song structure’ - that’s just as opaque.

[@RLHvanDijk]

@@321bytor A lot of modern music, mostly made by certain producers from certain record labels, put in a lot of things into songs witch makes them not very fun to listen to. Altho most of the time they are catchy or are using some things that is populair/trending, it just makes me dislike populair music even more. So this kind of music just feels somewhat refreshing. Atleast that's my take on it. There is not many out there that get attention, and since i watched this band before i guess it got back on my feed. Now i am subbed lol.

[@Ryan-ff2db]

@@nwerd7584 I don't think that's what he means. They have vulgarity and profanity in there songs and even a song about "friendly" cousins. I think he means no distortion or autotune even though I think I got little autotune vibe on the chorus of this one.

[@piitusuvijarvi5023]

The world needs a band like this, I love this. And those dances. 👏👏❤️❤️

[@johnjensen5540]

Great new song. I love there's many "lead" singers in this band. It prevents a predictable one sound, but never heard a bad song from thses guys. Their covers of classic rock songs are amazing!

[@lesliedavisfox8810]

I just want it on record I’ve been complaining about lack of Danny lead songs for years lol. But fr, Danny’s vocal contributions, since the beginning, have been so underrated. At first, I thought TDS was 2 guys harmonizing, but the more I listened, the more I heard Danny. And just how important Danny’s voice was in that actual 3 part harmony. He has always had a beautiful, soulful voice. And they have really always been doing 3 part harmonies, lately 4 with Colton singing more. My ear can’t pick up ALL the nuances that make this band genius, but ya just gotta appreciate and give props to one that is so talented.

[@HolyDiver936]

I second every single point you made here.

[@Mr.Hatchet224]

I 3rd it. well said

[@chadblignaut]

As usual Dead South never fails to please. Well done chaps.

[@luisjimenez2699]

The dead south the best blue grass band, they are the only ones who deserve an award for the genre.

[@flq_quebec4139]

One of the best with Poor man’s Poison.

[@Ryan-ff2db]

I do like The Dead South but there are an absolute crap ton of great bands in this genre. Trample by Turtles, Devil Makes Three, Mean Mary, The Builders and the Butchers, The Heavy Horses, The Graveyard Train to name a few.

[@Ninja-TEK]

The bois are dancing thru

[@johnnyvaughn8391]

I wished this song was about 15 minutes longer

[@TomaHawkBobXIII]

Get it son let that soul sing!

[@KatieCatWalker]

Happens to be my absolute favorite song on this album. Thank you Danny for writing it.

[@Blobfish174]

I can’t figure out what this song is about at all. It’s catchy but very cryptic. I need a line for line explanation.

[@TheTechne]

Yes Yes Yes!!!!

[@scottapache5041]

I am usually so out of the loop I see music releases years after. I've never been this early for music in my life. I'm finally in the loop. I've made it, boys. 😎

I was a late comer to The Dead South too. Radio stations don't play their music as much as they should. If it hadn't been for the Umbrella Academy on Netflix and the Shazam app.... I fear I would be missing out.

[@larrainepratt1317]

Nate's sideways airplane definitely has the most flair 😃👌

[@BluntedBaboon]

As an alcoholic, this spoke to me on a couple levels. But it also wants me to hear the song of recovery from you guys.

[@chrisbuxton1958]

An alcoholic who’s off the booze atm😊

[@MrBozo3d]

I've been following The Dead South's musical production for years, and it's very satisfying to see the band's maturity. Congratulations!

[@user-ef2nu9ez1h]

I was so excited to hear Danny’s voice in the lead on this one. He did amazing

[@judythompson8227]

their harmonies are spot on and yes, no one is left out...

[@guilhermeduarte7123]

please never lose this essence

[@jonisaksson]

This is my new Dead south favourite, great to get a song from Danny!

[@loganstauffer7252]

This song's gonna age amazing I swear

[@danielbourne9826]

Best chorus of 2024 so far! Such a great song!

[@PatientenO.T.]

Love when Danny sings!

[@cherylb6817]

You always wonder where the idea comes for the lyrics to a song ... and when you see the video, you're like,,,, *huh*! 😂💖❤‍🔥 I see real growth in Chains & Stakes, more experimentation and perhaps an effort to highlight individual member instrumental or vocal contributions and Colton's banjo interpretation and nuances are nothing short of genius.

[@karabuysse9267]

These guys are something special . I found them accident , and I can't believe. How great they are .....

[@user-nh8dj2ie6e]

One of the best things about In Hell I'll Be In Good Company is Danny's vocal

[@danielthornton9876]

This video is a trip! But I came for the tunes. Good stuff from the best in the south of Canada!!

[@CerysGreen-nf8tm]

[@Sundaygrass]

Was so blessed to see them live in their home country 🇨🇦 at a small music festival in northwestern ontario, before they were famous!! Amazing talent, they were playing so hard they were busting guitar strings & a close friend of mine was replacing strings as fast as she could!! Love their Music & All Bluegrass!! ❤❤❤
