31. Lived by the gun fast and angry for years. Now im a father and a husband but the rage is still there. Music like this makes me know im not alone. Lord save our souls

Being a father changes you but also, not really. My son is 13 now and he started asking me about smoking weed the other day but he said, "I know you never did it but did you know anyone that did?". Oh, if he only knew. I quit using dope the day he was born. Hope you're doing well ✌️

The truest statement ive heard in years. After losing my father, a man who passed that bitterness down. Lord help is all is the only thing I can think. Good luck

Those opening banjo notes are absolutely gorgeous

Thank god for rabbit holes. Wow this is some amazing music. RIP Nicholas

when I listen to this tune, I can see every one of them together playing this song in my mind. that would be something, spit shine was like an all star band of traveling American friends. Ashley sawing the fiddle and cutting that rhythm with her eyes closed and the grin she gets when it sounds awesome. Nicholas singing his heart out till his neck veins pop out, strumming the hell out of ol Caroline. Ben keeping perfect time on guitar while singing harmony like its his own song. I can feel the atmosphere in the studio and my six gun in my grip. it is soo vivid in this song, like feeling a ghost beside me. that would sure be an incredible sight to have seen spit shine together doing what they do best. I love every one of y'all and your music so much. I will look for you all one day riding that big freight train that flies in the sky!

I saw Ashley, Ben, and Matt Heckler in Tulsa at the Mercury Lounge on the close of their tour earlier this year. I spoke with Matt and a few fans. I called it The Grace of Good, Trains, Pains, and Record Deals. www.reallibertymedia.com/2019/05/a-ponder-gander-podcast-blog-2019-05-24

Totally agree. Pretty sure Shannon is singing background on this though. Which makes it even more gut wrenching. Considering Nicholas was her soulmate.

I put a pistol to my head playing this song couldn’t stomach pulling the trigger that night. The next morning the trigger assembly fell out when going to grab for it to put it away.

Wasn’t in the mood to listen to music but this song started and I listened to the whole thing. This is an awesome song.

ain’t a single song better for drinkin on the deck at night than this one

RIP Nick. We never met, but your music speaks to me. I hope I will see you playing in heaven when my times comes.

So hauntingly, scarily beautiful. Makes me sad, I'll never get to experience spit shine live. Must be so bittersweet for Ben especially, lost dog found fame but they weren't meant to find it alone. I hope everyone finds peace, loosing someone so close is awful.

This is one of those songs won't get out of my head

These guys were great. Such a shame Nicholas died so young he was crazy talented.

as someone who wakes up in the middle of the night, this helps

just full body goosebumps over here.

Thank you for this, Nick. Hope I see a live concert up in the clouds one day.

Don’t know why I like this so much, it’s pure tragic

Beautiful... timeless..

Sober for six months, going on seven. When I hear this song I hear my own personal hell I was trapped in. It doesn’t pull me back down, just keeps me going. You got reasons to keep fighting Don’t ever give up. No matter how much these fuckers get you down no matter how much it feels like they kick you to the ground. Throw that bottle against the wall and start kicking right back.

That s song gives me chills. Reminds me of a few friends I've lost from the military and law enforcement sides of my dual career. I can only dream of the life Lost Dog (hopefully) still lives. This is some of the most beautiful music I've heard. As a fellow musician who dreamt of this life before starting a family I wish you all the best! Nate LewisIndiana
