...
I wrote this song over a decade ago with all the nihilism and despair that came with my youth. It was recorded on an older Lost Dog EP with my late friend Nicholas Ridout accompanying me.
It made it back onto ‘Songs I Swore I’d Never Sing’ being the realest example of the title. This song has been requested more than any other at shows or around the fire, but it never feels right to play without Nicholas.
I thought the only appropriate placement for its return would be an album like this. It’s cyclical I suppose, given that this song probably inspired the concept of this album. The subconscious is a dark and mysterious place. I really couldn’t tell you either way.
- Benjamin Tod
Be smart, don't approach bison. These bison are domesticated.

Benjamin Tod's music has meant so much to me over the past few years. His lyrics cut deep. From a divorce, suicide attempt, rampant alcoholism and selfishness...his lyrics became a rallying cry for my recovery. I'm five years sober a couple weeks ago, and his music and art has been an integral part of my recovery. Nothing but love for this man. ❤️

I relate and also have seen similar stories from people. Idk why but it's a natural progression. Maybe as we get older, the anger and rage fades and we relate more to this vibe. We've all had our hearts broke, failed, lost people, nearly given up at times. This music is just the ultimate comfort for me.

It’s really not a big coincidence that metal guys like you and me draw to country/western. I go from August Burns Red and Thy Art is Murder, to Colter Wall and Whitey Morgan on the daily. So much of it is about deep internal struggle. The instruments and beats are different, but lyrically they’re one in the same.

The culture is dead here. Even this dude is not one of the culture, obviously... Despite America and Britain's fall, good music still remains. It's buried deep under the alcohol commercials and the propaganda they call songs. It's a hack you can see with your own eyes, people want to hear what everyone knows and has heard before. Like with all the good music we all can agree on out there, why is it in bars across the world we hear "put another dime in the juke box baby" so long after it was made. It wasn't even a good song when it was made but the peasantry sure wakes up when they hear that familiar garbage, meanwhile us outliers are begging them to stop putting that f'ing dime in that damned jukebox...

But as I'm sure all of the folks who help with this channel can attest, it doesn't matter where you go or what you go through, or even how mad this place can make you. Standing in the sunshine in the sagebrush, lying in the prairie looking at the stars ... Walking among the truly wild spaces. It's special to us. It can heal many ailments. We're in this small club of people who know what we have here. All the good and bad that goes with it. When I die, I want to roam here. I want it to be better than it was given to me. Where I was born and where I want to remain.

I've always loved this song. It has such a beautifully soft yet powerful tone to it. The background in the video is absolutely beautiful and Benjamin's voice and musical talent never disappoints. Keep up the great work. 🙏

Same here. Because it's genuine and real. Just like all of the rest of his music.

I'm from Wyoming and miss it so much. It'll be a year since my attempt on the 7th, and this made me cry. I remember thinking "I just want to go home. I wanna feel that wind again". This is beautiful and touched my soul in a unique and bittersweet way. Thank you so much!

I love hearing Ben re-release stuff from like 10 years ago.. From the "Life's a dog-gone shame," version of this to this? It's amazing seeing the progression of him as an artist, man.. Same with the sick pup version of "from the day you were born," to the magnolia sessions version of "from the day you were born." They're all awesome versions of awesome tracks, but it's cool to see how refined and perfected it is now after him playing it probably a million times..

My oldest sister (45) passed away last week 4.18.2024 This song made me think of her when I heard it yesterday afternoon. It was by accident that I heard it but it made everything hit pretty hard. I never thought I would have to say "Goodbye." So soon to her. I hope she is having the best time with our Mom in heaven.

Why did I immediately break out in chills and start crying before he even started singing? 😭😭
@jslash791 Жыл бұрын
This sounds amazing. Ben's voice has only gotten better over the years and the difference in this from the original recording I've listened to is one of the few I've liked better than a gems on VHS recordings. He's the real deal.

When you like the song after hearing the first line because you know it’s a benji todd song and the heart ♥️ is in it. Great artist. Forever my favorite story teller.

Sitting here in Florida, Thinking of a girl I love who is in Wyoming now. 2000 miles away from me.. this song evokes some feelings I thought I was done with. Maybe one day I’ll see her, but for now memories are good too.

Reminds me of an old cowboy song and it also makes me think of my home in the Rio Grand valley down in south Texas. It's bitter sweet to live in the west and too live in places with so much pain and sorrow Truly a beautiful song sung by a 21st century cowboy poet.

I've listened to this song several times a day over the last week. Wish you could find this kind music on mainstream radio!

Then it wouldn't shine like it does now. Mainstream kills the beauty of a music.
