More artists like this should be winning Grammy's, instead of the over-produced bullshit the record companies hype these days do.

Well Joe in a perfect world maybe that would be the way that works but it'll never happen here. Too many people are just too concerned with talentless fools and seeing spanks shaking their asses rather than watching somebody with real talent perform

I agree (that 1 guy) but that's 1 thing a lot of ppl don't know Is ppl that make music in TEXAS make there songs with passion and we different for that H -TOWN born much luv

My friends and j from college would listen to this together, I've lost contact with them since, but I know they would still get down to this song. Cheers buddies. 🍻 miss ya. Hope your well.

Singing, playing rhythm on guitar, and an irregular beat on the bass drum. This man is incredibly talented!

+David Conner I agree but that's not an irregular beat. He's mostly playing half notes until the times signature change. Then he plays quarter notes with some syncopation.

After playing this video thousands of times...I just realised his little invention of the Tamborine, briefcase kick drum....and lets just say I am quite giddy about it ;P

No cap I came from nun and thought I was nun this song made me think differently and it makes me calm I love this song I will neva forget this song💯 WYK4L

That's the TEXAS style I love it pure passion in tha song

Still vastly underrated. I don't care if he was stoned. Some of the best music he ever did. Maybe West Texas does that to you?

The fact he's high makes it way cooler in my opinion plus he sings all his songs a different way each time that's one of the reasons I like him

I grew up in West Texas. It's a rough place and brings the worst out of you if you let the weather get to you. It will drive you nuts. But if you can manage, it can be a peaceful place.

@@wellfedstarvingartist I too, grew up in West Texas. I like Shakey but I was just making the point that I thought it was his best music. Peace, Love!!

fantastic songwriter, he's often said this is his favorite song that he's written

Pound for pound, I think this has got to be Shakey's best set out there. It's just perfect.

I'm feeling it for sure, always repeatedly listening to this.

If it makes me want to move and shake, or I can feel the raw emotion through the singers voice and words, definitely a great song.

Nobody: Shaky graves: welllllllllllllll

Thanks Shakey you sure make this life better.

This is incredible.

It's so amazing how many versions i've heard from a single artist, this is truly phenomenal and i love it

Just saw him perform in DC last night and this was his best song. Awesome show!

my absolute favorite version of this song.

His guitar skills are literally mesmerizing

I wish I could find the version I got off a music download app a while ago. He really killed it on that one.

The audiotree live version.

He seemed a little spaced out, but that's the best version of the song I've heard yet. Great job towards Shakey; as always, thanks for sharing the music.

greatness

Just saw him last night at The Bottom of the Hill, and he was spectacular! Blew me away, can't wait to see him again!

This makes my heart smile...

absolutely amazing

I saw him at a concert in NC. After the show a bunch of us caught up with him, and one guy asked him about it. He said a friend of his had put it together for him a couple years back. It hooks up to an amp, and get's a really awesome sounds when he starts playing.

We wandered Into The Oasis restaurant in Austin Texas on Lake Travis six or seven years ago, and shakey was performing at the brewery. We were blown away by his music. He was using the suitcase bass drum back then also which made it all the more interesting to see him here.

Fuckin'... GOD !

Shout out from Illinois! shaky I think you struck my heart

Rising STAR!

Genuine!

Nice to know he played in good ol west Texas

Holy shit.

that suitcase with a drum skin. Genious idea! :)

Shakey Graves I love you

You rock man!

Outstanding music be here.

"I found a snake in an apple tree, I didn't trust a word he hissed to me, no! He said, 'must be awful lonely trying to save the world, buy a collared shirt and try to f--- some girls.'" Favorite lyric.

Me too. Exactly what he'd say... and it works on so many.

When ever I read the comments and they happen to be some of the lyrics, I always manage to read the comment as the person is singing the lyrics. it's just creepy now

Could someone tell me the chords to this song?

GRAPES

BUT HE DID NOT BELIEVE WHAT THE APPLE TREE SNAKE HISSED TO HIM,

Well, This song isn't a glad one. If i'm reading into this correctly, the song's about how, when you go though life, there's always people who think they're more intelligent than you, so they think they have to tell you the lessons they learned from their mistakes. When really it's just bullshit. Most of it at least. But that would also explain the lyric, "Didn't trust a word he hissed to me." The "Snake" is general, all the people giving the advice are the "Snakes". So you just better "Run". Once again, I could be wrong.

Absolutely. Check "Acoustic Badassery" under Shakey for your daily dose of double entendre. haha

At the moment, National Debt & Unfunded Liabilities at 30 & 200 trillion, respectively. We're not alone. More countries, than not, are living on an ever expanding dusty plain. When working with lemons, we make lemonade. When lemons go dry, we make compost. What seems at issue? For me, comfort comes from putting pen to paper, gazing-n-tracing, poaching eggs, grinding coffee, reading out of sequence, folding cardboard, playing peekaboo, hunting cheetahs in the backyard, and staying tuned.

love this song soo fucking much its not funny
