I’ve listened to all the barefoot surrender and spit shine stuff and it’s awesome seeing them back together again

so glad to see these guys back together. you guys at Gems are doing gods work. this is the channel that got me into lost dog and so many others.

Man is this a crazy moment never thought I'd hear this band again. Definitely going back on repeat now

Barefoot Surrender coming back for a little tour and adding some in between songs like O'Dea and Goodbye Brother would be amazing.

A beautiful moment--feels mature, sad, happy, all at once.

I just love how in every GemsOnVHS Video theres always this little part before the actual song where the artists just tell something about themselves or the song. The way Ben says "very bad night", damn thats just so raw and full of life. This channel always sparks joy.

Hoo-boy… Heard every song the band played in the past, feels like a hazy dream-come-true to hear them again! Tone of the song was definitely more tempered, the brash high-strung arrogance of youth clearly missing from the song, which just shows how far every single one of these people have come in their own lives, and just how much they’ve matured. It’s beautiful to see, and I appreciate Gems for showing off such treasures.

Makes me happy seeing them all play together again :,)

I am from India. I will positively visit Ben Tod and Jason Dea personally. I love your music a lot. It makes me feel stable.

we need more Barefoot Surrender in the world

Man can’t believe I missed this one. This song was a damn savior when I heard it, brings a tear to my eyes now

a NEW barefoot surrender video? Shit I was having a really really bad day until now. Thanks guys.

I'm an Oregon local, and the New Years Eve Party's in Bend hosted by Larry and His Flask and Willy Tea Taylor are notorious for being quite the show. His "Bend, Oregon, very bad night" statement tells volumes...

Rip Nicholas

watching that old recording of them in Colorado then going to see this new one is just crazy. where'd all the time go? RIP Nicholas Ridout

Wow. Yall this is amazing. So much a dream to see these folks together. Don't need that time machine after all. Thanks all who made this happen. It made an old man happy.❤

easily my favorite barefoot song. Thanks Anthony and everyone!

Absolutely amazing, the fact that they're all together and so different from who they used to be, yet still close is incredible.

I remember wondering into johnny bs in medford oregon and seeing these guys play on a random weeknight and being super impressed. They hung around for awhile and i got to see them play a few more times in 2011 before they split. Getting older is weird but so awesome to see them go on and continue to grow and get bigger.

Goosebumps. So cool to hear a live barefoot surrender song in 2023!

Been following Ben for over 15 years, through every band he’s been in, from Chris and Ben to blackheart rebellion to Barefoot to SpitShine, to teardrop trio and Lost Dog. I’m so proud of how far he’s come, and I can say without a shred of doubt Ben Tod is the greatest living songwriter on this continent, maybe even the world

that little dance at the end from Mr. Todd lol "That was it!"

I got to work for my best friend for the last year of his life (battling cancer) and I introduced him to Lost dog, Jason Dea west, Nick Hans. But out favorite was barefoot. This song, sky was burning red, and raven were our favorites… any way thanks, it littlest bring a tear to my eye thinking about it, made a lot of good memories turning wrenches for him listening to these guys and his old story’s from when he was my age. Thanks and keep up the amazing work

I'm a punk, but I think 40's 50's hillbilly is King...... This is Fukin Gold

Fucking wild to see a new barefoot surrender video in 2023- what a day. Just missing Nora, I think?

dont get much better than this.

Simply Amazing

Nearly brought a tear to my eye seeing and hearing this. Beautiful.

This is Fucking amazing y’all!! Hope you guys did a few more songs. Looking forward to it 🎉

I jam gems on vhs when I cut firewood and camp on my bus. Can't wait till fall season is here.

Been waiting years for this! My heart is so full!

Very moved thinking about my time on the road and how the years passed. I’ll carry this song and Sky Burnin’ Red in my heart forever. Thank you guys!!!

That's a lot of talent in that group some of my favorite

Would love to hear more from these guys.

Now that is a crew!

Dreams do come true 🥲

Haha,HELL YEAH! This is glorious!I've worn out the KZfaq Barefoot Surrender album, like on repeat, for many a night at work. Ima scream along to this on my way to work today. Thanks for doing what you do y'all! 💯🖤🥂🖤🖤🖤

OMG I MISSED BARFOOT SURRENDER THEY WERE SO GREAT

Needed to hear ya Mr. West.GOD BLESS YOU ALL ! MAY YOUR FRIENDSHIP AND CIRCLE REMAIN UNBROKEN.🎉

omg omg! this, this just made my fucking year.. I'm getting teary eyed I'm so happy for all of y'all

That was absolutely awesome! What a great song, what a great band! Thanks to all involved in this, really a breath of fresh air.

Beautiful song and ending the longing for Benjamin Tod and the beautiful Ashley May !🇩🇪🇧🇷🇺🇲🙋🏻‍♂️

I can't even describe how happy I to see them back together. The first time I saw Lost Dog they ended the show with Forgott My Name and it took me ages to deep dive and find it. That show was the best I've ever been to. I'm sure they remember it because the crowd and Ben were ready to beat the owner to a pulp. Seeing them play together again after everything life threw at em, shows how strong they are and how music binds us. Would love to see em cut that track, but regardless just keep the good times coming!

I know it's going to be awesome before I even listen to it. always is always will be !!!!

It's so wholesome to see ya'll making music under barefoot surrender again. Keep it up! Lost Dog/Spit Shine/Barefoot Surrender crossover is amazing!

I met Ben and Jason back in 2010 they were busking in Ashland OR. good times! love me some barefoot!

oh my GOOOOOOOOOD LET's GOOOOOOO!!!

Love it!

Been playing this so much lately and boom you guys got another fire recording 🔥🔥🔥🔥🗣

It's the band from O'dea!

My favorite barefoot surrender song. Thank you so much❤

This is the shit that led me to hop trains and ride bikes across the country a whole lifetime ago… that was cool to see as who I am now

I love this, thanks fellas.

Woah! So cool to see. Thanks!

Great video Anthony and Gems. We need a new album of some sort. Or a small EP album. Keep up the great music 🎵

Beautiful, just beautiful!!

This was a nice surprise! Maybe a tour would be cool 😁 I'll take what I can get though so thanks for the upload Gems!

Damn fine group of musicians and songwriters. Great song, too! Thanks, y'all 🙏🏻🤍

I'm reminded of the old Sylvia cartoon by Nicole Hollander, where a TV character is telling his love goodbye, "A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do." "Break his knees," Sylvia advises.

Just awesome.

Hey. There they are. What a treat. That was the last thing I thought I'd see this evening. Or ever again! Thanks, Anthony. Thanks, Barefoot Surrender.

I'm so happy I love all y'all..... Please do a small tour...

Lovely hearing them together, great sound! Chords and lyrics below folks Standard tuning, no Capo Intro G Em / G C G / G Em / G C G Verses G D G / G C G / G D G / G Em G / G C G Chorus G D G / G C G / G D G / G Em G / G C G Interlude G Em / G C G / G Em / G C G Outro G Em / G C G / G Em / G C G / G Em / G C G / G Em / G C G C G [Intro] [Verse 1] Well oh, my mama, she says to me Son I've only done my best Spread your wings for now you are free It's time for your mama to rest It's time for your mama to rest [Verse 2] And oh, my lady, she says to me I'm no longer yours to claim It breaks my heart that you're leavin again I'm gonna try not to complain I'm gonna try not to complain [Verse 3] But I am no one to tie to the faith that you provide Close your eyes and I'll be on my weary way Ain't nothin you can say to make your poor boy stay I'm goin' back to the San Francisco bay Back to the San Francisco bay [Chorus] Well, she speaks again now softly "I'm gonna miss you when you're gone Two good eyes, you still cannot see I'm the gal who made you strong" I'm the gal who made you strong [Interlude] [Verse 4] I remember my drunken daddy, he said to me You know your mama will never confess And in your eyes there's so much of me Your papa is runnin out of breath Your papa is runnin out of breath [Verse 5] And oh my sister, she says to me "When will you ever change? Breaks my heart that you're drinking again Drinking only brings you pain" Drinking only brings you pain [Verse 6] But I am no one to tie to the faith that you provide Close your eyes and I'll be on my weary way Ain't nothin you can say to make your poor boy stay I'm goin' back to the San Francisco bay Going back to the San Francisco bay [Chorus] Well, she speaks again now softly "I'm gonna miss you when you're gone Two good eyes, you still cannot see I'm the gal who made you strong" I'm the gal who made you strong [Outro]

Really good song. I could hear a bit of LDSB in there (obviously.. Lol) put me in mind of "september doves" in parts.

The way Ben’s voice comes through when they sing “I’m the gal that made you strong” is magic

Barefoot Surrender?? In 2023??? 🔥🔥
