Zac Brown Band - Junkyard (Lyric Video)

[@warrenpeay2291]

they wouldn't dare play this on a country station cause it isn't about girls, beer, trucks, or moonshine kisses. this song is too awesome for the radio anyway. let's keep it between the true fans

[@frcfed4989]

Warren Peay station where i live plays this. damn good station though.

[@warrenpeay2291]

Dylan Peers it's good to know there's at least one good station out there

[@kevintheturtle798]

Warren Peay its a rock sojg, thats why it isnt played on country radio.

[@kevintheturtle798]

song

[@jacobshore3345]

There is such a thing as country rock though

[@erinmcnally7764]

Holy shit this is by far the best song on this album. It gives me goosebumps every time I hear it. The lyrics are haunting and dark. I am digging the grit and the hard rock side of this song. Totally blown away by this one. Absolutely amazing.

[@krampusplague]

You have any idea what it means. I'm lost lol

[@bradhend]

KrampusPlague it's about a kid living with his mom and a step dad/boyfriend that is abusive. At least that's what I took from it.

[@adamchristensen2648]

Brad Henderson It's his grandfather, his mother's father. She's a single mother. That's how I choose to see it. Either way, he kills the junkyard man, and whatever happens after that...he's just telling the story.

[@bgomusicco]

The song is about an abusive step dad. The mom defended him. The boy killed him To save his mom. He became the junk yard man. He's as sick as he is lovely.

[@musicNmyhead2day]

Zac Brown is number 1 in my book for being able to pull of different genre's so well. Hard Rock here, religious over there, and a bit of country here and there. LOVE IT.

[@daynepefley2571]

+Linda Downs Don't forget about the pop in the corner.

[@musicNmyhead2day]

Love it.

[@Megatard]

also dont forget about that sir rosevelt shit

[@loganmaddocks4703]

I remember when I first heard Zac Brown that wasnt Knee Deep or Chicken Fried, and I was blown away that they had more depth to the band than just those pop country hits.

[@BNSF2184]

Second song on rock radio and I approve whole heartily! Zac Brown knows what good music is!

[@abbadoncross]

I really want an entire grunge album from ZBB

[@michaelfreeman8458]

"Hatred is the curse of man" So true.

[@patrickdalton6040]

This song has helped me emerge from a very dark place. Thank you so much for writing it Zac.

[@p.edward-eddie-mitchellchu8126]

Best song you've ever written Zac.

[@ilovepizzamore]

I really love how they are doing rock type songs!

[@yoki718]

lyrically dynamic. The music is powerful and matches the message. You choose to not be a victim, to not believe what an oppressive abuser does to you and to know that some of the most beautiful creations grow from very ugly beginnings.

[@amybethkegler]

I'm not sick I am lovely

[@english0Rspansh]

gotta be the best song after homegrown

[@Ketchup584]

Best song from them. Period

[@EggBear]

When a band sings everything in your own head...wow! 🙌🙌😍✨ You captured my life, thankyou. Xx

[@captchathemoment]

Songs so real. Love you ZBB. Keep doing you

[@blomborg6120]

lord but I love this side of Zac Brown Band

[@Shaman_VoidRider]

This song intensifies some feelings of righteous indignation, anger like no other

[@Jim_McFarland]

Been playing music for a couple decades and remember when I first heard these guys. Went out and bought the album right away. Always thought this was one of their best songs .

[@CrazyVidz0]

Absolutely brilliant song, love this band so much

[@sasimom72]

My favorite ZBB song! I love how this video is fitting to the words; grungy and dark, and not "prettied up". Great job guys!!!

[@monkeyjumbo48]

This song is an underrated masterpiece

[@nomoremanatees1266]

Zac Brown band is GREAT at rock songs

[@randallgolmon7202]

best song ever!! y'all need to come to Louisiana soon!!!!

[@RageCage64]

My father and sister both love Zac Brown and listen to him incessantly. Overall I've liked some of his stuff but not too much mostly because I'm not a country guy. But this song... Fantastic. This is where me and my family really find a common ground. Hope he keeps doing stuff like this.

[@leahtellez7342]

I love this song so much, it is by far my favorite of theirs

[@immortalLove2012]

I felt this song..... Ty Zac brown band....

[@ashleighcranford3541]

The live version of this is drastically better, much more deeply emotional.

[@pipersecrets]

heard this on the radio today, no idea who it was, what the song title was. found it... super impressed there's new music out there that hits me like this. love it!

[@Skybolt211]

I like the longer version with the Pink Floyd song "Is There Anybody Out There" in the middle.

[@grimm9673]

I'm a metalhead through and through, so obviously I HATE countru music. But I was listening to the radio one day and heard this and the lyrics grabbed me. I love it! Deep and dark, just the way I like it

[@krixig]

Its Swamp Rock, hombre.

[@krampusplague]

I wouldn't assume a metalhead hates country. I listen to both and love both

[@TheSurrealist.]

It has clear elements of Stoner Rock. Definitely draws more from rock than country. One of the few mainstream country acts I respect because they aren’t afraid to step out of the bland ass bubble that plagues mainstream country.

[@TheSurrealist.]

Also a Metalhead btw. Lol

[@lone6778]

This is my new favorite song

[@avamai]

Didn't even really care for this band until I heard this song👌🏻✨

[@JL-qm9yk]

Woah those lyrics strikes deep into your soul

[@jacobsudduth199]

Lyrically, their best song by far.

[@nicksandberg3984]

Oh hell yeah.

[@summercoleman9471]

I love this song to death, in fact it might be my favorite on the Jekyll & Hyde album but they totally shortened the lyric video!!! The jam out musical solo's are sooooo good on this song and they shouldn't be cut off!!!

[@Countrydiva524]

Summer Coleman possibly a radio cut?

[@nikolaik5175]

I am not a country guy. At all. And this song is a masterpiece.

[@hailywarren7490]

this song is more rock, I think that's why you like it if you don't really country

[@nikolaik5175]

+Haily Warren eh it is but it isn't.. zac brown is a lot like dave matthews. he knows how to blend genres. good music isn't specified by a certain genre, but how the artist feels :)

[@julienelson3499]

Warren Peay...I agree with you!! Zac Brown is an amazing musician! A realist. And funny...singing his chicken songs. Most country music these day's is far out in the left field. Almost every time I turn to a country music station...I hear thing's like...I got my girl in my truck and a beer in my hand. And a 12 pack in my cooler in the bed of my truck. Something like that?!🙄 "True" country musicians sang about life and the hard time's. Hank Sr., his son, Merle Haggard, George Jones, David Allen Coe, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Kris Krisstoferson and so on. No offense to the younger generation that listens to the new country singer's. They don't know the better unless their parent's listened to country music growing up.

[@matthewmyers3802]

Man I love this song!!! Keep up the good work guys👍🏻

[@HereComesthewooo]

Anyone else hearing Man in the Box in the beginning? Also, he mentions "Jar of Flies" in a verse. Coincidence or was it an homage to AiC?

[@ElevatorHater]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3PJdWt6oZ5smJY

[@ElevatorHater]

That link is the original version from a decade ago. I think it's AiC in that version

[@graysonbr]

Surveying the album. Decided to pick a country album from Summer 2015. Very impressive! Always heard they were good in concert, can definitely see why!

[@pennygrames]

This is the best country song ive heard in a long time! Should b in rock genre

[@mastoner20]

+Penny Grames It's the second Rock Radio single from Jekyl and Hyde.

[@bccutleryco.9927]

Zach Brown, stay Down! U are the man

[@tylerseagle2866]

went to his concert in Columbus was hoping to hear this song!! He didn't play this song or heavy.. but it was a awesome concert

[@BigHoss5063]

They cut out the best part. Hope they release this to the rock stations and another on country radio

[@GuitarStu]

Serious Thrice vibes of this one!

[@luckymurkrow3945]

best group in the world

[@Alex-re7fv]

this should have more views ya'll

[@TheGlaswegianScot]

Their going into rock music. Their still awesome!

[@james_day2020]

Awesome lyrics video 👍👍

[@TheDesmarais123]

Great song

[@brendanflorivlogsflori1457]

Good song I love the song

[@monkeyjumbo48]

Their discography is so diverse. Like this is the same band that made Sic em on a chicken.

[@dpoirier0720]

Sick song

[@erinzimmerman9543]

such an eloquent song....should be the sound track to a Mad Max Movie...My fav on the album!

[@inyourfacefishin7169]

I actually like the other version (older) of this song but I can't seem to find it anywhere on here at all!

[@rebelstrife]

that is so damn sick!!

[@nomoremanatees1266]

I like the longer version

[@leonardsmith9157]

Wow that's powerful

[@timothyblomgren9553]

The full 7 minute version is much better IMO

[@TheTroublemakersGuild]

Agreed

[@mitchellskene8176]

Agreed

[@MACMAMI]

I've found it interesting how the best original songs, lyrically, on "JEKYLL + HYDE" happen to be their rock-heavy releases.............when country has traditionally been the lyrically-centric genre and rock the more groove-oriented one. If this and "Heavy Is The Head" are any indication, they should use those songs as inspiration for improving their lyricism on subsequent country recordings. Even though I prefer earlier renditions of this more preceding their major-label breakthrough "The Foundation", this is still a damn well-written song with a visceral gut-punching payoff. Definitely better than at least 90% of what currently congests Active Rock radio. I'm actually hoping the Zac Brown Band succeed in continuing to develop themselves as a staple act of the format so they can begin to make Active Rock consistently listenable for the first time since the Black Crowes and Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers stopped picking up consistent Top Ten hits in the mid-to-late 90s.

[@thomasgrant3351]

This has a wyatt family feel to it for some reason

[@zbbprincess9266]

I love this!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have the album Jekyll + Hide and it is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@barwkinkle96]

Zac if you guys are gonna be making remakes of songs. You should do a remake of "on this train" and put it on an album so it is available on iTunes. I have been a zac brown since I can remember and when I met you at the eat and greet I told you this then. This songs has been my favorite song since I first started listening to you guys.

[@erinmcnally7764]

Alan Barwick This isn't a cover or "remake" they wrote it.

[@tjo005]

Erin McNally It's a remake of their own song...

[@barwkinkle96]

+Erin McNally I'm aware of that. Their original version is better than this version

[@ambennett913]

So is "on this train" guys. I think he meant if they're going to be redoing their songs.. As in making them harder.. Anyway.. That song would be great to amp up. And as far as this one goes, I like them both. The first as far as beat, but I like the instruments used in this and where they were taking it.. I just wish they would've stayed a little more towards the original.. There's just a few pieces that need adjusting

[@hailywarren7490]

this is almost the best song he has ever made but we all know the best is chicken fried

[@chandlerwood3833]

The best I can tell, it's about domestic abuse. The boy is him. The girl is his sister. The Junkyard man is the father. He abuses them both. The thing about the sewn mouth and screaming, a lot of times, the abuser will threaten the life of their victim if they tell. So she uses her eyes to tell her story. Near the end, it talks about waking up to broken glass. That tells me that the mother and father were fighting. He has an old bone pocket knife to save his mother from the junkyard man. Meaning, in order to save his life and his families, he's going to stab and kill his father. They escape. The father dies alone. That's his reality. At the "I'm not sick. I am lovely. Hatred is the curse of man. I've washed my hands you see. That's my reality." Once he escaped. He forgave his father for years of abuse. Hatred is worthless. He cleansed himself of his past. Domestic abuse is a real issue nonetheless. Once you escape it, you have a choice. You can either play the victim for the rest of your life or you can cleanse yourself of your past and not let it define who you are as a person now.

[@fatboysgarage7984]

In certain parts it sounds like he's talking about sexual abuse that he and his sister had to endure, but I failed lyric analysis in my music theory classes.

[@caseylittle4039]

damn

[@tiffanyreece3259]

This is about him and his mother in a domestic abuse situation

[@ryanfairclough9501]

Steve Wood you'll find most songs have a story behind them

[@Megatard]

No you dont lol Zac has told that story on TV many times, keep dreaming

[@dsdailydevo386]

Please send me links of any rock music like this that ZBB has done since this album!!! so so good!

[@Elcho_Tazo]

Very good song/story. Can someone recommend any similar?

[@carbro6334ify]

This is my song

[@fatboysgarage7984]

I could see myself doing a cover of this on a 7 string guitar and vocals.

[@steamer1191]

do they play this song on the tour they're on right now?

[@DoDasher]

+Steven Robertson I hope so

[@RealAshkii]

Feels like im in a VR headset

[@RowdyMajor8]

I don't know why but when I hear this song, it makes me think of horror movies like Silent Hill, Wrong Turn, and Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The imagery and lyrics of this video make me think of those movies for some strange reason.

[@AlabamaxKush]

Well I can see wrong turn maybe, but the songs actually about child abuse.

[@AlySsoN00712]

Is it just me, or Peter Dreimanis from July Talk sings in the chorus ?

[@ElevatorHater]

The whole Pink Floyd's "Is there anybody out there" sample was removed. My favorite part

[@erinmcnally7764]

markemark513 Why did they get rid of that? That would have made this song a million times better than it already is.

[@kevinlyons1395]

@@erinmcnally7764 I agree. But it was exactly like "Anybody Out There." Probably a risk of legal action unless they gave credit to the Floyd for it.

[@vinwwe]

Do these guys have any other songs of this style - heavier rock type? Sounds good.

[@ItBeNolanTho]

Heavy in the head

[@TheTroublemakersGuild]

They've also done covers of some other songs

What a good way for that song to give me Alice in Chains vibes. This is probably the reason why they refused to play it on a country radio station.

[@personwhoexists4491]

Will this be played on the country or rock stations or both?

[@hailywarren7490]

probably rock

[@ethanbrown2900]

Or neither?

[@atlascollective3000]

Beginning sounds like Black Woods by Stoned Jesus, but this is badass.

[@furioussherman7265]

They left out the instrumental sequence in between the second refrain and the third verse. I always felt that that was the most powerful and dark part of the song.

[@TheTyStotz]

Yeah because they ripped that part off from pink floyds "anybody out there" from the wall

[@breecie19]

+tyler Stotz they didn't rip it off that's the actual sequence. it's credited on the album

[@Megatard]

Thats because the instrumental is a Pink Floyd song

[@davidpo5517]

Well, I was raised underneath the shade of a Georgia pine And I have lived in a junkyard, where the weeds eat up the rain And that's home ya know My house is not much to talk about It's funny how it's the little things in life that mean the most Not where you live, or what you drive, or the price tag on your clothes He had a sick little girl, dirty and hard, with a breastplate made of metal She drives all day in her rust heap Buick, and her feet don't reach the pedals Got a jar of flies, her father's disguise where his heart should be I like to feel the sunrise, see the love in my woman's eyes Her mouth is sewn together; she screams with those eyes Yeah, she screams with those eyes...like our chicken fried Well, I shoulda been sleeping, shoulda been dreaming, but I wake up to broken glass. There's no dollar sign on peace of mind, this I've come to know. There'll be one more empty desk in my homeroom class. So, if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast. Got an old bone pocketknife tight in my right hand To save my poor mother from the junkyard man. I thank god for my life. He's as sick as he is lovely, and in need of a hand He will know he's not worthy. When he dies alone you'll see, that's his reality. Salute the one's who died. Hatred is the curse of man. I will not feel unworthy, 'cause I have washed my hands you see For a little bit of chicken fried Cold beer on a Friday night A pair of jeans that fits just right And a radio, oh you see That's my reality.

[@shaungaetz9813]

horns up

[@Megatard]

Chicken Fried sucks

[@sveacohron3325]

That's perfect combination of those two great songs

[@TheSurrealist.]

So WHERE THE FUCK DID THIS COME FROM? Since when does The Zack Brown Band make what sounds like some kind of blend of Stoner Rock and Country?? This almost has some Doom Metal mixed in with it.

[@scottkalen9837]

What are they a heavy metal band now

[@erinmcnally7764]

Scott Kalen This isn't heavy metal it's hardrock. And they have always said since day one that their is a lot of southern and hard rock influence in their sound.

[@ambennett913]

+Erin McNally plus they had Overnight on the other album too. That's exactly why I love them. They play whatever the hell they want. Whoever said you had to have all the same type of music on a cd? I completely agree.

when he talks about the girl with her mouth sown shut is he talking about his sister or mom and what is the dad doing to her
