  • a man told me that bluegrass is dead today.. i'm losing hope in humanity.

  • God damnit. This song makes you so sad, yet so happy.

  • Trampled by Turtles makes me proud to be from Minnesota (:

  • @contemporaryfolk +nvadfijvnaadfkj di mis information technique can be very useful

  • who in the hell would dislike this song?

  • apparently somebody hasn't found a friend...

  • townes!

  • 19 people are in pain and need some codeine!

  • @smbake fuck you. really? youtube doesnt need more stillborn fuck faces like yourself. go drown in a river of jabba the hut's diarrhea

  • @chadbond007 Wow someone needs to chill out.

  • @chadbond007 yeah no shit, lets bring the boil to a simmer. I get the impression he was probably being kind of a smart ass.

  • love this..i think there my new favorite band <3

  • Codeine and all its little relatives, good stuff. But like a love affair, the end is painful in extreme.

  • One of my all time favorite songs.

  • Polska przejmuje ten utwor,dziwki

  • @ruzaMatoiC Zarzuc lepiej troche kody zanim cie cisnienie rozpierdoli

  • @Morr1992 a czemu mialo by mnie rozpierdolic ?

  • Comment removed

  • my old man used to give me codeine when I was a kid and couldn't sleep, it was the 70's and you could still by the liquid behind the pharmacy counter without a script. Good times:)

  • @rhrhllc Still can get a 200ml bottle containing 600mg of pure codeine in UK ;) Gotta know the tricks

  • @Morr1992 Thats not even that much dude

  • Reading previous comments now, Im glad someone else noticed that!!!

  • Townes Van Zandt mentions "Codeine" being the nicest thing hes seen in his song waiting around to die. I wonder if that could be an influence on TBT while writing some of the lyrics to this song?... Possible id say

  • @bgredneck90 Almost definitely I'd say, it's unlikely that a Bluegrass band with country inspirations would not of heard of TVZ.

  • totaly fuckin badass!! keep it up man

  • keep your words of wisdom to yourself...keep trampled

  • they must have based this song on Townes Van Zandt's waiting around to die

  • @dirtyfukinrotten what? ...The two songs sound nothing alike

  • @dirtyfukinrotten exactly what i thought "now I'm out of prison i got me a friend to last. he don't cheat or steal or lie. Oh his name is codeine and he's the nicest thing I've seen. And together we're gonna wait around til we die."

  • @dirtyfukinrotten I think you're right.

  • It should have been ketamine

  • @tjc45161

    The lyrics remind me much more of opiate high/nods rather than ketamine, though I can see where you're coming from.

    Ketamine is cold, confusing, exhausting, uncomfortable, alien, distant and lack emotions. Opiates are friendly, bliss, euphoric, seducing, christmassy, not-caring and overall "curl up and swim in the ocean of pure bliss" feeling.

  • THATS SOME GOOD OLE REDNECK SHIT!!!!!

  • Ya'll are ridiculous fightin on here. What the fuck!? Just shut the FUCK up and listen to the music! God Damn!!

  • @flyingponies101 amen to that

  • @flyingponies101 I agree with you on that one. Arguing on what song is better. That shit gets really old, really fast.

  • great to see them cover the squidbillies intro in the velvet jesus episode

  • i love the mandolin trem picking solo!

  • FAVORITE BAND EVER!!!

  • wonderful music !! great !!

  • Could you forgive the awful things I've done?

    Could you forgive the awful things I've done?

    Well I'm sure I will become your favourite son

    If you forgive the awful things I've done.

  • Seen 'em live...every bit as good as the CDs...and the crowd was doin' backflips during this one. A real great group.

  • This is some good music!

  • 600mg codeine and just founded this track... full of beauty

  • Put on a great show. Thank you for being from Minnesota

  • These guys are clearly Townes Van Zandt fans..

  • Monsters would say it isn't good. That's about it. They're AMAZING!!!!!!!!

  • i just noticed that codeine is a hard drug, not a girl. LOL

  • @BobRyderMusic Same thing, man.

  • @BobRyderMusic Ha! Yeah, in many lines it sounds like a girl. I guess its a fine line between addiction to a drug and relationship with women. Lol. too funny man.

  • @BobRyderMusic Hahah ^^

  • Blue Sky and the Devil may just be my favourite contemporary bluegrass album ever.

  • This song is awesome. Man they can play. My addiction is beer but I can relate to this relationship!

  • 13 people are retarded.

  • @froschein .

  • let's go bruins.

  • Ima Nazi and i refuse to not listin to them they r so fucking awesomes XD

  • @LiebenMichable u suck. the fact that ur a nazi makes you to one of the worst ppl living on this earth. you think the things hitler did were right? you need help if you do so.

  • @XWarHammeRsX snort it faggot

  • @XWarHammeRsX snort it faggot

  • Get high people... Just got myself sorted after having 600mg

  • @XWarHammeRsX It's a pain killer. I think.

  • I heard them play this in Keystone, CO. I absolutely adore this band now!

  • this song rocks if youre on codeine ^^

  • @SciTec1988 its true

  • @SciTec1988 It also rocks if you aren't!

  • ♥♥♥♥ :)

  • Codeine, Nasty. Good song though.

  • weeed ooo weeed ur the nicetst thing ive seen for awhile thats what it should have been, im not takin away from the song its still awesome lol

  • 6 people dont know what codeine is

  • @durrster1128 and some people still think that retarded joke is funny.

  • @FatKidVocals Have you ever heard Death Metal/Blue Grass?

  • @xaun36 check out Aes Dana, the celtic black metal band, not the electronica band. They have serious metal, interspersed with classical celtic melodies and instruments(which sounds very similar to blue grass in its own right). They are probably one of my favorite bands.

  • @ginjeda Thank you very much. This is about what I was looking for!

  • I am an avid Death Metal fan.

    However, I fucking love this shit. I love Joanna Newsom. I love ska music. I love jazz. I love funk. I love some rap. I love electronic music. I LOVE GOOD MUSIC. Geez, some people need to get variety.

  • @FatKidVocals same

  • @FatKidVocals i am the exact same way. and completely agree, just because we listen to death metal doesn't mean we can't like anything else

  • @FatKidVocals

    death metal is the shit

  • @FatKidVocals me 2 i listen 2 slayer ..and cannibal alot..but i will jam out on this shit 2 ...crazy rite...MORBID ANGEL RIP. JARED

  • @FatKidVocals Hipster.

  • @AusDearm Sorry, that's too mainstream for me.

  • @AusDearm I'm sorry, I didn't know that appreciating talented musicians made you hipster nowadays. Then again, what doesn't lately? I might as well don my scarf and puff on my American Spirits right now.

  • @sirgrizzly90 Being Hipster is too mainstream for me. Sorry. Be right back, let me go get my Pea Coat and skinny jeans.

  • @AusDearm You obviously have no taste in good music and just follow the mainstream artists. If liking a band who isn't as well known as the stupid talentless shit that gets played on the radio way too much makes me a hipster, I'd rather be a hipster than a fucking mindless faggot following the crowd.

  • @clayschill Whoa there. You sorta blew that JOKE way outta proportion. If I didn't like Trampled by Turtles I wouldn't be here listening to them. Go and get a Tampon and enjoy the music, Broha.

  • @FatKidVocals Agreed 100%. Some people need to listen to what they enjoy, not what maintains their "image". Typically when one matures they come to realize this. Metal for life, but why would I cheat myself of all the tremendous artists out there. Genrists are weak :) Stay up!

  • @FatKidVocals just listened to black dahlia murder and then came to this. Both we're great choices :D

  • @ekoking DUUUUUUDE! I fucking love TBDM.

  • @FatKidVocals right on

  • @FatKidVocals I completely, completely, completely 100% agree with every word of this.

  • @FatKidVocals so basically you're a /mu/ faggot, what're you going trying to get top commentson youtube?

  • @kinozozo Spreading my disease. What are you doing? Lurking /b/? Pff. Summerfags.

  • @FatKidVocals nah, I lurk /mu/ :3

  • @FatKidVocals Why are you breaking rules 1 and 2? Pff, Newfags.

  • @Stickman123434 Exercising rule 42. Nothing is Sacred.

  • @FatKidVocals Rules 1 and 2 supersede rule 42. All Oldfags know that.

  • Comment removed

  • @FatKidVocals yeah man thats what it should be

  • @FatKidVocals I'm with you man. i don't care what genre it is; if you can play you can play. end of story. These guys can play and i enjoy their music. I'm glad some people agree with us

  • @FatKidVocals

    What's the difference between you and me? Somehow you can tolerate that screamy shit they call death metal. All that I can see expressed in that type of music is anger and frustration.

  • @cod4rulz I could interpret this song as being about some lonely hillbilly who loves codeine, but I dont. I actually listen to the music. I would hope you did the same.

  • @cod4rulz you sound ridiculous saying something like that. the point of his comment was obviously that people should appreciate more types of music, which you just proved. im not the biggest metal fan but i won't go say that an entire musical genre is just "screamy shit". people like you ruin music

  • @FatKidVocals Same for me.

  • @FatKidVocals Ditto. That's all I really have to say.

  • love these guys!

  • just wow

  • just got teeth pulled. this song is my theme song right now!

  • If you dig this, check out anything by Split Lip Rayfield. You're welcome.

  • @espacho His, not her.

  • lol, my first thought was "someone listened to Townes". this is awesome.

  • @heavymetal217 check out the gourds.

  • fuckin' opiates man...

  • who would ever give a "Trampled by Turtles" song a thumbs down. Nazis?

  • @rikskelton138 I'd imagine that nazis wouldn't find a great deal of issue with a country band from Minnesota, USA. They might have slightly more issue if they were exceptionally Jewish, or lived in Nazi Germany (which hasn't existed in 60 years).

    Maybe the down-thumbs come from people who don't appreciate the music. You know, the kind of incompetents who listen to 'metal' as if it's real music while actively proclaiming other genres to be awful.

  • @Muglez14 Metal is definitely real music and takes just has much talent to play as bluegrass/folk...which is why I primarily listen to bluegrass and metal.

  • @Muglez14

    Bullshit. I LOVE this stuff and I fucking love METAL. I LOVE Metal, I also like Baroque classical, blues, jazz, and folk music.

    Incompetents... you bum dart

    Also, yes. Nazis hate this shit.

  • @rikskelton138 those fuckin nazis

  • @rikskelton138 So this is how ww3 will start. My money for ww4 will on Glen Beck vs. Obi Wan and the republic. Damn Glen Beck

  • @rikskelton138 Where are you Simon Wiesenthal? Theres still 6 of em out there!

  • @rikskelton138

    Actually a Nazi I've seen does like this. lol!

  • @rikskelton138 I like this, where are they from?...... DISLIKE! (1940's German accent)

  • @rikskelton138 ME nearly! It's annoying when you look for information on a drug only to find 100 stupid songs instead. The song is pretty cool, so i refrained :)

  • @rikskelton138 Me dumbass. It sucks on so many levels.

  • @rikskelton138 Count me among the dislikes. Horrid is just be beginning of a long list of words I could use to describe what I just heard. Wish I could take my view back, but I've settled for a dislike. I'd have disliked it more than once if I could have too.

  • @rikskelton138 Do not bring us into this. I like this music.

  • @Stickman123434 I'll bring Nazis into any thing that is negative that I please. Even if you aren't responsible I will blame it on you and there will be little argument.

  • @rikskelton138 no, because even nazis would understand and like this music.

  • @kathueyang Thx U Sir XD

  • @rikskelton138 the only people to give trampled by turtles and thumbs down, is the person who is getting trapled

  • Thank God for the cold water extraction

  • @apex4111 Im doin' it now, bro :D

  • if I was a bettin man Id say this came out of an townes van zandt song...cf. 'waiting around to die'...both good tunes

  • @cliffthomas84

    The songs are similar in nature but not in any noticable way. So you'd lose that bet, besides wat Bluegrass songs don't sound like all the others.

  • @xrustynailsx he's referring to the lyrics, not the sound. the chorus is taken from a townes van zandt song.

  • no, its about sizzurrrpy derrp derrrp dee doopty doo doo doo

    p.s.

    ferp

  • no, its about sizzurrrpy derrp derrrp dee doopty doo doo doo

    p.s.

    ferp

  • Just what I've been looking for since I started with code, I love it:)

  • Oh, codeine...

  • "...well its whisper time remember, through armor thorns and knives..." my favorite line

  • Love it.

  • Codeine and weed, mmm. <3

  • who <3 codeine lol! people are retarded codeine sucks to fucking weak over 100mg is bearly a recreational dose and it most always combined acetaminophen good song though!

  • Sweet, internet arguments. I love them. Especially when they spam the comments wall of a freaking sick song.

    Move on people, chill your dicks and just listen to the music. Let things go, don't get all pissy over little things..

  • And now I'm outta prison, I got me a friend at last. He don't drink or steal or cheat or lie. Well his name's codiene, he the nicest thing I've seen and together were going to wait around to die.

    Townes Van Zandt

  • great song!!!!!!

  • like like like

  • I can't believe people are crying about "the mando buzzing." If you "dissect" music the way you say you do, then why do you even listen to it? Get the stick out of your ass.

  • @MasterToad223 Guess what retard, I don't listen to it. I just reply to ignorant people like yourself. How do things like a mando buzzing or an instrument being out of tune NOT BOTHER YOU.

  • @bgrassguy145

    Because all sounds are unique and are in place to create a melody that is pleasing to those who care for it. If an out of tune instrument bugs you that much, you still need to learn what the true meaning of music is. There is no structure or correct way, just ways.

    This is my first listen to these guys after being pointed to it from some drunk guy I jammed with who raved em. I can see this growing on me.

  • LOL, wow. you are hilarious my friend. Its funny how you say the i am the one being pretentious here, and claiming greatness....tho i never said once that i am a "pro star musician" or how "rich i am" or that "i bang models"

    BUT YOU, are the one saying "I've played with several amazing musicians in my time" Hmm it seems you have contradicted you're self dumbass.

    Do you really want to start with me......?

    TELL ME WHERE I EVER SAID HOW "AMAZING OF A MUSICIAN I AM"

  • I can feel that warm... its goin from my chest to head... slowly... its wonderful, thank you Codeine, thank you for all.

    *Scratch scratch*

  • Comment removed

  • Love how they took a great line from a Waiting around to die by townes van zandt and made there own song, just shows how songs have inspiration from artist before them, makes you appreciate music even more.

  • Comment removed

  • you know what they say about arguing on the internet right?

    i personally enjoy this song and many of their others very mucho, and mayhaps you all that don't should play some old crow ==> or hit your back button a few times...

  • @imaputbulletinmyhead tell me honestley what exactly you enloj about this song........

  • brassguy, if you don't hear or feel a punk vibe to TBT you must be deaf as well as clueless. Saying you listen to differerent types of music doesn't mean much, because you don't seem to grasp a very basic fact : music comes from a place that has no catagory. You slam TBT with critisisms that clearly show you just don't get it , your opinion is in the minority here. all of us love their energy, their music and now the fact that they piss you off. what you think is irrellevent and small minded

  • Bbrassguy I know see the root of your ignorance, you like to put music in nice neat little narrow catagories, maybe it's easier for you that way, maybe it helps you label yourself as well. what ecactly is "acoustic music"??? because I guess every form of music has acoustic elements. I also see you haven't the slightest grasp of how music crosses those little barriers you are so fond of. Punk rock has no set form it can from Black flag to yes even the honky tonk sound of X.

  • @jessejps And again DO YOU EVEN PLAY AN INSTRUMENT! Because i do, therefor i can see a little deeper into the music, where as you just hear the music as a WHOLE. When i listen to music i dissect it, where as you are just easily pleased, You don't really care if the fiddle squeaks through the ENTIRE solo. Or if The banjo obnoxiously plays an entire solo on one string with no sense of tone or technique. Or if the mando is just playing tremolo through every string and buzzing the whole time.

  • @bgrassguy145 lol you come across as such a tool. "omg i am pr0star musician listens to mah drivels!" hahaha!! Classic! Now tell us how you are rich and bang models and the joke circle will be complete!

    I've played with several amazing musicians in my time and there were a few with attitudes like you who were good, but never lasted long as they were completely annoying to play with. Not that I think you're even half as good as you try to come across but even if you were, nobody cares.
