Since discovering this song (thanks, "Breaking Bad"), I've surfed around and found every cover I could. This one by the Be Good Tanyas, is EASILY the best. The original, by van Zandt (the one w/o all the added orchestration) is also, of course, excellent. And Townes said this was his FIRST song. Amazing!
I am a huge Townes Van Zandt fan. I would love to thank Breaking Bad for introducing me to my fellow Canadians "The Be Good Tanyas" I was also very much enamoured with Trampled by Turtles "codeine"/
@denise1960ify Yeah, exactly the same here. The minor key just hooked me. And, then, the lyrics: incredible. I've since gone down the road to learn more about Townes Van Zandt, who's the epitomè of "troubled genius". Remarkable artist, very sad life. And "Breaking Bad" - just finished season 2; can't wait to see waht season 3 brings.
I don't understand how people hate TV. TV shows now adays are better than movies. They are like 17 hour long movies. The writing and acting is just as good, if not better. And obviously the music is, i.e. this song. I am now a fan of this band thanks to Breaking Bad.
@BlackCloverRecords People tend to associate reality TV, daytime, and Spike TV with the very general "TV." I agree with you, and love television as a medium. Breaking Bad is a rare gem though.
@iriefiyaman since i wrote that comment i've heard so many people raving about how "breaking bad" is the best show on earth, i think i do have to check it out... on dvd of coarse :)
When I heard the first lines of this song I jumped out of my seat. So awesome for them to recreate Townes Van Zandt song and then even more so to hear it on Breaking Bad.
Easily the best scene I've ever seen...referring to Breaking Bad. The song captures the sadness without being too cheesy or overwhelming. Great song.
@Edawg15 Certainly a great scene/music combo but I still have two ahead. "DLZ" (The "Stay out of my territory scene") and Who's gonna save my soul (From the final scene of season 1). But just my opinion
These guys are cool and all, but credit for this song belongs to Townes Van Zandt, who was crazy/badass as fuck, and just happened to be one of the best song writers in American music
actually, I just checked it out, the Tanyas are on hiatus, persuing individual things, no indication of whether they get back together again or not, but I have a sweet feeling about these ladies. Let us all cheer for them, kind of a tribal thing that means we want them back, ywh
really, that is the problem, it is an old townes van zandt song, and it is not like many others do it. As far as I know, the Tanyas are still together, and in Vancouver, but i have not heard playdates for a while
@TEB1952 Not sure if you know by now since your comment is a year old at this point but they are playing again. I think their first show in three years was at Vancouver's 125th birthday celebration at Stanley Park last summer. They just played this February in Vancouver at the Vogue. There's a video on youtube from that show (it has Vogue in the title).
@ak47doubletap can you imagine that when you google lyrics, out of the genius of the past 50 years, you get lady gaga bad romance and keisha tik tok... that really makes me puke
Yeah, thanks Townes Van Zandt for such awesome music
