  • you are here listening to Joe Purdy,you are awesome

  • "And I dropped my paintbrush in the dirt

    Still remember just how much that hurt

    I cut my hand and wait for it to work

    But I just couldn't bring him back "

    Way with words. Wonder what he's talking about.... I have my own interpretation, but I wonder what he's specifically singing of.

  • never heard of him before...

    but this sounds really nice! Thanks to ShadowMOSS1988's Playlist.

  • 12 people are cranky because they couldn't get it right today.

    (sorry, couldn't resist. I'll never do it again!)

  • WOW this is instantly getting a dedicated pandora station :D

  • Amazing. @iLOVEpsch93: I'm 15 years old and I hate this stuff on the radio. That is the type of music I love! :)

  • I'm a 17 year old girl, and I think more teenage girls should be listening to music like this instead of the crap that's on the radio. I've loved Joe Purdy for as long as he's been making albums:)

  • @iLOVEpsych93 17 years old girl listens to Joe,,,,marry me ;)

  • You're here becuz of Grey's Anatomy, aren't ya ? Know wha i'm sayin?

  • Yeah, you're not gonna give up. You're just saying that...

  • greys anatomy!

  • well he got it right today.. beautiful song

  • 11 people don't know what's real music.

  • @TheLonely4 To each his own. If there was only your kind of music, no one else would have a choice.

  • @zickiezickie Except that jb, girlicious florida and other "artist" like them don't make music. they do nothing at all. Autotune makes evything. They just need to look great so that they could make money with their producers. I listen to a lot of different kind of music, but it's always real music. So yes, people could have a choice

  • story of my life!

  • weird... I never thought the username @P1imp0logy101 would get the most likes out of sympathy... must be fishing for likes.

  • @guitaraddict93 Though the username isn't quite fitting, his words sound very sincere. People tend to not make up shit like that....

  • 11 people can't get it right.

  • Sounds like he may be talking about himself and some type of mental disturbance he's had that has disrupted his life...maybe. Any comments?

  • Now he is torn, trying to help someone else cope when he is just as depressed as they are. He hopes for the future saying he can't get it right "today" but maybe tomorrow? We know that will not work either he can't be the comforter when he himself is distraught.

  • To make matters worse he is trying to act as he has moved on himself however he really hasn't coped from the lost either. He is using drugs to cope with his pain, specifically heroine. "I dropped my paintbrush in the sand..." Paintbrush = Needle "I cut my hand and wait for it to work" (lose of blood + drug use should yield a much higher high than just drug use) He became so high that he thought he could bring him back to life "I just couldn't bring him back"

  • one more thought maybe that is how his friend died they both used heroine and cut themselves trying to get a better high in doing so his friend died. He tried to bring him back and he still holds on to that memory. Maybe it was his idea for them to do this to get a better high and he is still trying to say sorry to his girlfriend at the same time trying to forgive himself, in return he is becoming depressed still with the memory and the sadness that he has brought to her.

  • @atouchet2

    My interpretation (solely my opinion):

    He has lost one of his friends "its nearly been a year since he's been gone". He is trying help his friends' girlfriend cope from the loss "Goodness knows she can't move on......" He hates seeing her hurt "I just hate bringing you down" but knows she must move on.

  • @99trow Could it be that he is singing about his father who has died and his mother is the "she"?

  • problem is, after giving up, that heart just keeps ticking away. I wish there was some sequence to make it stop. You know, touch your left pinky to your right ring finger, followed by placing your thumb on your nose, then your right elbow to your left knee three times, and bam! heart stops.

  • It's songs like these that make me feel terrible because I can't create this musical bounty of awesomeness :/

  • @dodoslak sadly, agreed. but hey, we just gotta keep trying, right?

  • so underated..need to get let me sing to you,on here,first heard of him on lost with wash away,hooked since then

  • everytime time i hear this song i always think "no wont let you"

  • someone told me today I can sing nearly identical to Joe, it was one of the biggest compliments I've ever received

    write songs like him tho? I wish!

  • Really struggling right now and this song makes the world seem a little more okay,,, Thanks Joe...

  • For some reason, listening to this song makes me cry. I love Joe Purdy. Beautiful. <3

  • 11 people clearly have no taste in music whatsoever! Love Joe Purdy <3

  • I love this song, I feel like this so much almost every day. I just think this song really relates to a lot of peoples' problems, I go to school with duche bags and they don't have problems with getting made fun of and picked on like I do, just a great song. Thank you ChinChillaKing0 for your service to our country, we do appreciate it sir.

  • watchmycoverwatchmycoverwatchm­ycover

    ...pwease :)

  • i would like to thank you chinchillaking0 for serving our country and keeping children like me safe

  • @ZXZcolbysrightsZXZ so you are safe becausing he is in iraq? wtf.

  • Comment removed

  • @andonomas2 Pleaaaase think for yourself instead of following your government blindly.

  • the song reminds me of how i screwed up things in the past but also how i changed in such a short time and now i´m sitting here and hearing that great song without giving up ^^ thats great thx joe purdy

  • @misa6811hater it's cool

  • @misa6811hater

    So someone with a username like that isn't allowed to lose a loved one?

  • @kiwijellyfish stop hating guys. dw bout it.

  • @misa6811hater I can't take it seriously, because how can even a song make something like that less painful?

  • @misa6811hater Give him the benefit of a doubt and your sympathy. It might have been you.

  • Respond to this video...  my pain cant compare but its close

  • Love this song!

    My ex husband listened to this alot after we lost our baby girl..he said in a weird way it kinda took some pain away from him

  • Love this song!!

  • me gusta mucho este cantante

  • What a great last name.

  • Is he gay?

  • this is amazing <3 lovee joe's voice. and the lyrics are amazing. gah. <33

  • Love this song

  • email this to me PLZZ! [:

  • love this song!!!! XDD

  • Hey funky06, would you be able to send this song to me?? :)

  • Comment removed

  • @Patriotsfan420 Remember hate is a strong word......think about it

  • Respect to the musicianship of the song but I can't quite get past purdy's voice. I know he has an arsenal of albums under his belt and sells hotel cafe but his voice is atrocious. To me it sounds like he makes his voice crack as if he's still 13. RUBBISH.

  • @morrissey07 Dude He has more talent then you will ever have....post something better asswipe

  • @mdkrek It's so funny that you take it so personal. Your vocabulary, like this song, is atrocious. PATHETIC.

  • @morrissey07  Hey now everyone is entilted to there opinions but that doesnt mean you get to yell them at other people dude.

  • FUNKY TIIIME!

  • Yeah yeah IK its about being emotional and all but at the beginning there is a fart noise before the song starts ;3

  • amazing song:)

  • @p1mp0logy101, I feel you pain man, I just lost my sister, nephew, and my unborn neice in a car crash a few months ago. The pain is hard, but we can get through it. Ill keep you in my prayers man, and dont worry you will be with them again. and @chinchillaking0, we all appreciate the sacrifices you make for us over there. thank you sincerly.

  • This song is amazing, such an emotional rawness in his voice.. *sigh* .. Btw, can someone PLEASE link me the picture at 01:05? I need it for an art-project I'm working on, and I can't seem to find that picture anywhere else! It would be much appreciated! :)

  • @P1imp0logy101&ChinChillaKing0­...heros, both of you. Keep your tips up!

  • if i were talented enough to write music and songs i'd think they would be very very similar to joe purdy's music. i've got an awful voice though and have never learned the guitar but he inspires me to teach myself anyway. i envy his gift.

  • He's given up on being himself, who he used to be. He didnt mean to lose himself and hes sorry for it, he doesnt want to bring his significant other down, but he doesnt like himself, he used to be an artist, and part of him has been missing ever since he dropped his paintbrush, he can't be that person again, and hes done trying, he can't feel anymore (cut his hand), but he doesnt want the people around him to give up too, just forget about him

  • i love Wash Away by him..... such a good song...

  • 2 weeks ago i lost my son and wife in a car accident...this song in a weird way kind of makes the pain a lot less.

  • stay strong

  • @P1imp0logy101 Wow man, that sucks. Stay strong. Loosing someone is hard enough, but your son and wife. Wake up every morning and think how they would like you to live instead of saying in all day and sobbing. If you need someone to talk to im always here and feel free to hit me up ( sorry for the email, just a spam one i use on occasion ) ill message u and send it.

  • @P1imp0logy101 Wow that sucks dude

  • @P1imp0logy101 Oh man, have not idea who you are but I am keeping you in my prayers. Music has a way of helping us deal with loss and pain.  God bless!

  • @P1imp0logy101 you have my deepest sorrows & prayers for you & you're loved ones.

    May you bring meaning to those that have passed & find comfort in this time of grief.

  • @P1imp0logy101 im so sorry it must be hard.

  • @P1imp0logy101 i feel for you..

    a lot of people i knew and cared for died

    i never knew my grandfather ,he was in the philippine air force so every time i think of him i listen to this song

  • @P1imp0logy101

    I'm sorry for your loss My Brother, my prayers are with you, please dont give up. life will suprise you!!

  • @P1imp0logy101 I am sooo sorry... :( -Hugs-

  • @P1imp0logy101 sorry for your loss :(

  • @P1imp0logy101 I'm sorry to hear that. :(

  • @P1imp0logy101 Im so sorry :( how tomorrow will be a better day.

  • @P1imp0logy101 dude... that's just ... wow :| ... i'm sorry

  • @P1imp0logy101 I felt to write something....with tears burning inside....I know it is almost 9 motnhs ago but I hoe you will seek and find the way...inside you. Faith and believe saved me and my life so...I hope you will find your true answers...From a stranger to a stranger...I wish you all the best and light in you life again

  • @P1imp0logy101 I'm sorry to hear about your loss... I know it's been a while since, but I hope you're doing alright.

  • @P1imp0logy101 I'm so sorry.. I lost my baby brother in a car accident five years ago, and I remember this song giving some sense of relief as well.. Funny how music will do that for you...

    Again, my heart goes out to you; I wouldn't wish this pain on anyone.. You are in my thoughts..

  • @P1imp0logy101

  • @P1imp0logy101 Sorry to hear of your loss. Many things will help easy the pain. I hope you have beautiful memories to comfort you. Don't let what other people think concern you. They are not you.

  • @ChinChillaKing0 Your comment was 11 months ago... If you're still alive, it seems you've been getting it right for quite a few days in a row. :)

  • i like this song (:

  • Wow, this sounds like a song I'd hear in an iphone commercial >.> I miss when music took risks and wasn't so banal and average.

  • (:

    i like this.

  • I dunno if you find it the same why as me ,but personally I think that he's a bit like Male Version of Regina Spektor mixed with Suzanne Vega ;pp

    (It's a possitive comment if someone asks;p)

  • does anyone know were this guy is from?

  • Arkansas, America

  • Arkansas,United States

  • What about Arkansas?

  • Funny, that the most seemingly depressing songs can open a portal of hope for tomorrow... I'm stoked for artists like Joe Purdy for making my life a little more meaningful.

  • I think it's the fact that we feel much less alone knowing that we're not the only people who feel like this sometimes. and the pleasant tune helps of course :)

  • This song is pretty much the story of my life. :P

    Good thing it's a great song! :)

  • cool i love Joe Purdy

  • Slant Six theme song.

  • can't wait to go ee him in concert in a few weeks!
