The Strumbellas - Shovels and Dirt | Indie88 Black Box Sessions

[@serenadegliangeli5803]

I'm getting addicted to this band

[@altair769]

I can't stop listening to this these past 15 minutes. Been having a tough time and for whatever reason this feels like Balm for my Soul.

[@zafirsheikh569]

Keep moving forward it will get better.

[@Owlyuhu]

Same

[@danherbz596]

✌❤

[@thefinalriot40days38]

love this part "I put a banjo up into the sky it keeps us moving, it keeps us moving"

[@olfmombach260]

Yeah, it has a nice crescendo.

[@edidiongrebong]

Best part of the song especially the crooning just before. It brings so much emotion (sadness, intensity) into the audioscape.

[@Eurotrash4367]

I agree. Banjos and clouds always make me sad.

[@tips216]

yeah bro this shit hurt it fits the rez a lot of death out that way

[@nativerain4054]

tips On the rez? Oh hell yeah.

[@marksme]

"I have a head full of darkness and darkness is good, because if we all die young, we won't get hurt?" sorta sad and dark.

[@joshmcclain]

Mark Anthony Smith yeah, welcome to human emotions.

[@lucaaz14]

But it’s also very uplifting.

[@philphilips1020]

Music is one of the few forms of art that is able to transmit/broadcast human emotions without always needing to be interpreted. Sadness just happens to be one of those emotions.

[@aldoraine1321]

When you wish that the downward Spirale has an end.

[@jedseverson1026]

I just discovered this song on 4/20/21 and noticed that this song is 4:20 long. Can't stop listening to it.

[@gracelaughlin447]

I love that the video isn't fancy, just the band It shows how in love with music they all are

[@PigWarfare]

its not really the full band, just lead singer, keyboardist and violinist

[@KA-dj9mc]

I just found you guys. However, I am already loving the new world you have opened for me. :) Thank you

[@markweeks3630]

Kiersten Adamson al,,m,vdzxx

[@GLITCHER248]

mark weeks ?

[@tomascipek4033]

No

[@LiamDrives]

Do all yourselves and see these guys perform live, you won't be disappointed, they are so interactive and intimate with the crowd. You'll be amazed! And Dave is freaking awesome on stage.

[@adriannathompson9907]

right??? last year I was under age when they played in my town but that didn't stop me from sneaking in. it was a top 5 moment for sure. so amazing!!

[@samwallis4545]

Which one is Dave?

[@Madnessonman]

Grateful Dead spoiled me. They gotta do some instrumental jams and not sound like a copy of the album. Otherwise what is the point of seeing a music act live?

[@zach4718]

Sam Wallis the one with the hat

[@vickibug]

YOU SPELL BAD LOSER

[@saby6228]

The lyrics of this amazing song Mama never told 'em there's a devil in me I got a mouth full of rotten and a heart full of greed Shovels and dirt, shovels and dirt Well it ain't worth living if you don't get hurt Alright! Cowboy hats and crooked teeth With a sick shooting pistol just out of my reach Shovels and dirt, shovels and dirt Well it ain't worth living if you don't get hurt I got a head full of darkness and darkness is good Cause if we all die young then we don't get hurt Alright! Well demons pull me side to side again Yeah but I'm scared of sleeping, I hate my friends Shovels and dirt, shovels and dirt Well it ain't worth living if you don't get hurt I got a head full of darkness and darkness is good Cause if we all die young then we don't get hurt I got a head full of darkness and darkness is good Cause if we all die young then we don't get hurt I put a banjo up into the sky It keeps us moving, it keeps us moving I put a banjo up into the sky It keeps us moving, it keeps us moving I put a banjo up into the sky It keeps us moving, it keeps us moving I put a banjo up into the sky It keeps us moving, it keeps us moving I put a banjo up into the sky It keeps us moving, it keeps us moving I put a banjo up into the sky It keeps us moving, it keeps us moving I put a banjo up into the sky It keeps us moving, it keeps us moving I put a banjo up into the sky It keeps us moving, it keeps us moving I put a banjo up into the sky It keeps us moving, it keeps us moving I put a banjo up into the sky I got a head full of darkness and darkness is good Cause if we all die young then we don't get hurt I got a head full of darkness and darkness is good Cause if we all die young then we don't get hurt Mama never told 'em there's a devil in me I got a sick shooting pistol and I'm ready to leave

[@Remedist1]

It’s 2021 please get this song out of my head I can’t keep listening..... so Mama never told 'em there's a devil in me I got a sick shooting pistol and I'm ready to leave

[@watcher8022]

"I got a sick shooting pistol and I'm ready to leave" Hits hard.

[@Rexxsar101]

What do these lyrics mean?

[@siafushredder]

it's six shootin pistol im pretty sure like a revolver

[@justbe646]

Strumbella's you make me PROUD to be a Canadian LOVE TO YOU ALL FOR MOST STELLAR TALENT

[@ashliepuma1925]

Lori BE I would always be proud to be Canadian. Canada is so good

[@justbe646]

Appreciates Always~

[@tedmullenix8930]

Lori BE Yes! wonderful musicians. I feel a swelling of pride with their sound, and I'm from Chicago IL, never even stepped foot in Canada

[@justbe646]

Hi Ted, it's obvious we're synchronized for no boarder exists when it comes to excellent music. This Strumbella's particular composition "Shovels and Dirt" relates to even more than the majority may understand my friend for Life is Music and Music is Love~

[@zach4718]

Lori BE YEAHHHH

[@peterbrsel215]

Mama never told 'em there's a devil in me I got a mouth full of rotten and a heart full of greed Shovels and dirt, shovels and dirt Well it ain't worth living if you don't get hurt (Alright!) Cowboy hats and crooked teeth With a sick shooting pistol just out of my reach Shovels and dirt, shovels and dirt Well it ain't worth living if you don't get hurt I got a head full of darkness and darkness is good 'Cause if we all die young then we don't get hurt Alright! Well demons pull me side to side again Yeah but I'm scared of sleeping, I hate my friends Shovels and dirt, shovels and dirt Well it ain't worth living if you don't get hurt I got a head full of darkness and darkness is good 'Cause if we all die young then we don't get hurt I got a head full of darkness and darkness is good 'Cause if we all die young then we don't get hurt I put a banjo up into the sky It keeps us moving, it keeps us moving I put a banjo up into the sky It keeps us moving, it keeps us moving I put a banjo up into the sky It keeps us moving, it keeps us moving I put a banjo up into the sky It keeps us moving, it keeps us moving I put a banjo up into the sky It keeps us moving, it keeps us moving I put a banjo up into the sky It keeps us moving, it keeps us moving I put a banjo up into the sky It keeps us moving, it keeps us moving I put a banjo up into the sky It keeps us moving, it keeps us moving I put a banjo up into the sky It keeps us moving, it keeps us moving I put a banjo up into the sky I got a head full of darkness and darkness is good 'Cause if we all die young then we don't get hurt I got a head full of darkness and darkness is good 'Cause if we all die young then we don't get hurt Mama never told 'em there's a devil in me I got a sick shooting pistol and I'm ready to leave

[@jennnnifersbody]

God this is so fucking good. I'm in love with these guys.

[@randalllee10]

I was watching Lollapalooza livestream and seen these guys, just the other day, for the first time. Bought one of their albums directly afterwards. Jammed to them on an 8 hr road trip two days later. They are musically amazing. Love them. Gifted lyricists and musicians.

[@torrinswanson6683]

Really appreciate the chord progression pan at the start. Thanks. Learnt the song in two minutes.

[@노진영-z1v]

대박 진짜 말이 안나온다 너무 감동적이어서 눈물난다 스벨사랑♡♡

[@johanaverdasco9848]

i just fall in love with your voice... i love your band!

[@Thamac15]

These lyrics sing the feelings of depression throughout the world! You try and find what “keeps us moving” so you don’t end up placing that gun to your head.

[@shlifestyle9608]

I love them, love this kind of music it makes my heart so happy... I can't explain how

[@matthewhunter8489]

this song is insanely beautiful. you can hear the struggle in the words. thanks for this.

[@bryanwarbington9467]

Best song I've heard in like forever

[@savoir-vivre8123]

this is THE song for my funeral..thank u Strumbellas

[@jbclick33]

I LOVE this song so very much. It touches that part of me only certain songs with magical lyrics can do. Cuz if we all die young then we don't get hurt... 🎶

[@michelleyantha]

Im absolutely in love with this song. It keeps us moving, it keeps us moving I put a banjo up into the sky.

[@sabrinaeminente4727]

this song is so deep, i love it so much

[@bytewiz]

Just saw them up at Whistler as part of the Whistler Presents Outdoor Concert Series on August 6th 2016. We were front row as most of the tourists didn't know who they were listening to. We arrived 30 min. before their performance. Their loss.

[@nativerain4054]

I cant wait to see them in Portland Oregon on May 25th! I truly ❤️ them! I can relate to this song. "It aint worth livin if you dont get hurt"

[@petromadsen2264]

Where have you been hiding? Flippen awesome band. Love EVERY song! !!!!

[@siobhancosgrove4145]

What a CLASS song and the voices....WOW!!

[@Mdeborahstudios]

"I just found you guys. However, I am already loving the new world you have opened for me. :) Thank you" I second Kiersten Adamson

[@Col.JohnMatrix]

I've not had this song out of my head in the last 2 weeks for more than 10 mins!

[@GGECKO11]

Love it!

[@ER1CKSON]

[@adamokoh4355]

"..if we all die young then we don't get hurt...."

[@justink7729]

Just say them at the Cains in Tulsa. Took the whole family and was probably one of the best concerts I've been to. Very interactive with the crowd and incredible live performance.

[@RachelBastow]

This sounds so warm :>

[@Owlyuhu]

I'm living for this song

[@fernroseobx8598]

I just came across this band recently. I'm 55yrs young in 2017. Shared it with my 35 year old son and now we both are addicted to them! Makes me want to sit around a fire on the beach with a bunch of good people and just sing, laugh, and enjoy the moments.

[@willbradley5026]

love this song....love

[@camilaapolinariocampos6412]

I love the strumbellas ❤❤❤❤❤

[@JeffVlimant]

Damned, it's just the pure spirit of trail builders and dirt jumpers. Just instead of putting banjos up in the sky, we put ourselves with our bikes ...

[@khrystinabrown858]

[@rosejackson1003]

This sounds just like Griffin House "Better than Love" which was written several years ago. The first time I heard this song I thought it was the same song.
