Great JOB & interesting direction, truly authentic Here's to the Roanoke Anthem! 20,275 Views Today if you're from Roanoke & You think this is Awesome Give this post a thumbs up!
I used to live in Roanoke (grew up in BOCO) This song is amazing! He covered some ground in this song! Star Country, Corned Beef & Co., Valley View Mall, Wal-Mart, Texas Tavern, Sheetz, Hollins Barber Shop, Famous Anthony's, even the Mill Mountain Star. There is a lot to be said for his detail! He loves his city. MEMORIES! Thanks for bringing me back to Roanoke in song! HAHA awesome!
Mr Sigmo should contact me VIA email or MSG ASAP. On my iPhone and I can MSG thru you tube. Actual working production/ recording engineers in Salem, VA. Would like to talk ;)
Also those bumpkins saying Roanoke is safe? Compared to what? Just because you don't have a huge gang issue does not remove the fact that Roanoke VA has been and still is on the the top 10 for cities under 1Million people for various types of assaults, spousal abuse, child neglect, drug abuse, alchohol abuse etc...so before you go preaching the values of a small-ish city, do some research first. Having said that, its not a bad city and there are still some very good people down in the Star city.
So..Im not going to hate on your singing. Its ok. I just wish Roanoke people would act like small town people and not try to brag about lame shit like "Biggest mall around.." I mean be happy you are a hillbilly and relish in it. Also just get informed about stuff and travel a little bit for the love of god. Someone said Roanoke is the size of Denver? Right...
Diggin it! Fellow Viking, graduated 2007...and just moved back after being all over the country in the Coast Guard. I may hate it sometimes, but Roanoke really is great. Nice song
@milltown420 why? that is a very discontented and judgmental statement imo. roanoke is very pretty we are right next to the AT, we have excellent culture and music...? a lot of heads hehe cheap ones ;) low crime rate. population comparable to Denver but with beautiful weather what's not to like? if one is not happy in Roanoke it is not due to their surroundings. i mean this fella is VERY off key and im not defending his clearly very serious professional level song here. but it is what it is.
Roanoke might not be for everyone it's a good place to live. I can say this with complete sincerity. I've lived in a lot worse places. Don't let people get you down. Keep doing what you do.
Good for you. Yknow...i was being a huge dick and shoudnt of said that. Your video is really good and ive watched it alot. Sorry man...best to you this new year and keep singing my friend.
@dumbshit1977 ... thanks man. I live in the neighborhood right behind your dad's place. Been there a few times. Wishing I could go right now but I'm trying to lose some weight.
This is pretty awesome man, I graduated from Lord Botetourt in 2005 and enlisted in the Air Force, needless to say I don't get back to the Noke often, and I could picture myself cruising williamson listening to this.
@jeepguru86 I SALUTE YOU AND THANKS FOR ALL THAT YOU DO FOR US AND OUR COUNTRY! I AM A "PROUD USAF AUNT", MY NEPHEW IS SERVING IN JAPAN RIGHT NOW AND HE HAS 4 MORE YEARS THERE! AGAIN THANK YOU...PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN!!!
the funny thing is my sister showed me this the day u uploaded it n i go to northside n i bowl with ur sister n brotherr n i said to sister the thing is i listen to this song everday n i know the full song my heart its funny tho ever time dirt road anthem come on i sing this virsion instead haha
You've got a decent voice. Please don't ruin your chance by spreading this poorly written song. It's a good effort, but it doesn't work. The words aren't even close to fitting. Try again, and don't give up.
So funny! As a Northside grad and someone who frequented Walrond Park since I only lived a mile away..I love the references! I also remember Peters Creek before Sheetz was ever there..and before it went past Melrose. I also remember life before Valley View was ever built...and Crossroads was packed! I remember when Hidden Valley High was built and the Cave Spring people were mad that their district was being split. I'm only 34, so Roanoke has grown a LOT in the past 15 years or so.
@MrSigmo I graduated in 1995. Was Miss Gregory still teaching Government when you were there? I swore she'd NEVER retire...so I was trying to find out if she did! Class of 95' helped in Jr. high kids being allowed to wear shorts and for the Sr's being allowed to eat lunch outside & leave the premises. Seemed we were at the forefront of a lot of big decisions that got passed on through the years...lol. I can't even remember how many strikes we had..but it worked! =)
@daysleeper724 ... hahaha ahhhhh Miss Gregory lol.... By the time I came through she was just a subsitute but she was a very 'popular' sub. Miss Gregory, if you see this, I mean nothing but love. But she would crack us up with her stories... her cats, and her homemade lemon pies... Haha, man I forgot about Miss Gregory, I should've somehow added her to the song. And we thank yal for your valor in making Northside less strict.
I liked the hometown references! My husband and I are from the NRV, so not technically Roanoke, but we're familiar with everything you mentioned. Good job putting it all together!
HAHAHA nice! Country Swag.
