Tyminski - Southern Gothic

[@suellenhill8097]

I do so appreciate when a southern song is made by someone who has experienced the south in their heart. It always has such a heavenly ring to it.

[@andrewhill1362]

You can always tell when an artist has a sense of rural groundedness, it’s got a bittersweetness in its authenticity.

[@chris-zs1vu]

He's from the southern state of Vermont :)

[@jensherman2771]

Agree! South in his heart! Regardless of where he is actually from. This song is timeless, placeless too! I found it at 9494ft in Colorado💛💛🎼

[@photina78]

@T lan That's the South.

[@LocalTreeFort]

If you guys like this song and the way it sounds then search the name of the song to find more stuff you'll like. Southern Gothic is an actual music genre, it's also called dark country.

[@Pistolxvixen]

I appreciate you so much

[@morgoroth666dlp]

That's true... And I really love it since the first time I heard it...

[@fintandeconnachta5525]

Im coming over from Gothic Rock and Black Metal...its an interesting twist!

[@johnbanjo5772]

I was searching the genre and I found this song.

[@mridlon1634]

Johnny Cash pioneered the genre. It’s as old, maybe older, than the actual goth subculture itself.

[@bensatterfield367]

I love how this song points out what its really like living in modern small town south, lots of drugs and false faces in the shadows

Seems to me those who preach the bible understand it the least, or have forgotten its most fundamental beliefs. I absolutely hated god for a long time because of those people. Luckily, i found my way back to the light. Nobody pushes people farther from religion than jesus's own congregation. Lord knows, ill never understand it.

[@USMCasper]

I’d much rather deal with my small town than the time I spent in Hawaii or New York.

[@Casey_Bass]

@@bornfree8073 You didn't find the right preacher or congregation, they're the hardest part of Christianity to find, but my preacher not only gave his all for 3 years to drag me to a church but he's been my great friend, teacher, and light for over 4 years now and trust me, he's make me any hundreds other cry of conviction one minute and cry in thanks for having a merciful and gracious God the next, he's the best preacher and Southern Baptist I've ever met

Said it right! Good music with the right message. Makes the skin tingle.

[@ZeeaJones]

Anybody wants to listen to incredible Southern Gothic music thats also religious, listen to 16 Horsepower(I could name a few others too). Cool though that Southern Gothic is becoming more known and mainstream. The lyrics and visuals of this video certainly capture the vibe but I was not expecting those type of vocals and the way it was styled.

I usually hate the sound of modern day country vocals, but the insturmental, and the way his words flow into it warrant an addition into my favorites list. I've spent the last 72 hours looking for songs that resemble the theme of Hunt: Showdown.

[@biggary255]

Slamin Salmon, listen to Buddy Brown "Mason Jar" "Bounty Hunter "Delivery Time" he's got a lot of folklore that's insane awesome

[@bobthabuilda1525]

This is awesome! I love bluegrass, but all the fans here complaining that he's doing something different must have forgot his work with Avicii, or the electric stuff he has done with Alison Krauss. Most great artist hate doing just one thing, and want to branch out eventually. I'm glad he's went this direction.

[@BryTunesMusic]

sounds amazing - this should've been a huge hit, but I guess he had set forth such a bluegrass legacy already

[@Casey_Bass]

People don't want to listen to music like this in today's age, it's conviction music, it's music that'll pull at any bad thing you've done especially against God, and that gives sinners such a deep inner conviction they don't want to hear it

"A plantation town in the Reconstruction era Deep South, still shell-shocked and licking its wounds from the Civil War, struggles to come to terms with the end of slavery and the slow decay of its community, both religious and social. Why is this happening to them, they wonder? Surely the way of life they'd always known was what God would have wanted. ...right?"
