Yonder Mountain String Band - "Sometimes I've Won"

[tat2jess]

awsome!



[KaBoKasMoker]

this amazing piece of blue grass enchantment is almost a perfect soundtrack to my twisted story

[denver97ghost]

yonder always makes me happy when I am feeling sad...

[ColoradoSon19]

@kansascitygritty ... You're a genius

[MattyJac10]

Yeee Haww!

[duffmasterofpuppets]

Anyone know the model of the bass?

[newrootsmusic]

This is great. Single mic tames the beast. Sometimes I think they should pretend they are single mic'd all the time. Control.

[st0rmch1LL]

awesome voices and music



[messica22]

The bass players voice reminds me of John Denver... a little.

[kookoo787]

Those guys have a little trouble reaching the high notes.

[Rjc0316]

@kookoo787 you have a little trouble appreciating great music..

[corndogifyable]

[kansascitygritty]

[stillyt1]

[notmefuckingname]

@kansascitygritty your an idiot



[xwhiterhinosx]

@kansascitygritty fuuuck yeah. nice to meet you brother

[hanwilliams00]

They dont sound like your usual bluegrass because its a progression. Newgrass.

[AimedForDeath]

You guys rocked that shit at Roth '09

trippin face listenin to this shit now...

keep it up boys.. keep it up.

(btw.. dissapointed i didnt hear any 40 miles to denver at Roth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!)

[sunshinedaydreamm]

i love you guys!!!! wow the feeling

[dudehorner]

Chorus:

I'll keep trying my best,

I sure could use a little rest

And some help finding my way home

I'm not the best that's ever been

But long ago I vowed I'd find the light I lost back then

And you think that you'd do better all alone

When there's no one there who loves you and no place to call home

[dudehorner]

Sometimes I've won, sometimes I've lost

Sometimes I've walked away before the dice were tossed

It's not that I chose to be a gamblin' man

But you're not left with many options walkin' roads that never end

I'd love to imagine there is some place for me

At the end of this long, lonely road

[hilfolk]

I have tickets for a YMSB show next month but I don't know alot about music. Can YMSB fan explain to me what they like about their music?

[dudehorner]

you must experience them 1st hand.

its hard to explain but they have 'soul'

you will never be the same after seeing/hearing them.

[lamppostpizza]

i haven't heard too many songs but from the ones i have heard they seem to get the bluegrass sound while avoiding the usual G C D boring chord progressions and just sound different. i don't really know though i'm not really familiar with them either.

[morrisj1205]

thats one sign that a band is great. a great band doesnt have to use all sorts of strange chords and shit. its all in the way its presented.

[cxf55290]

Exactly....my god do they have soul!

[1deadhippie]

Pound for pound one of the best bands ever. This song is soooo the story of my life. Question to anyone that knows. I have been looking for the younder album that this song might be on and i cant find it. Any help would rock

[dudehorner]

dont believe it was ever on an album

i relate to this song as well

[DonotPush24]

its not on an album because its an old folk song, not theres, but they play it great

[dudehorner]

Song Title: Sometimes I've Won

Album: N/A

Written by: Ben

Sung by: Ben

Lyrics:

Sometimes I've won, sometimes I've lost

Sometimes I've walked away before the dice were tossed

It's not that I chose to be a gamblin' man

But you're not left with many options walkin' roads that never end

[steveo8719]

It's not on an album because it is a Saga song, and they are making a Saga CD. Ben Kaufmann wrote this song

[1979Teeter]

I knew there was a reason I stayed up al night.

[pgroove229]

ye i like old crow alot too, but they have a way differents sound than yonder

[jezx21]

Old Crow Medicine Show is way better

[jiveafro]

Whichever band is playing in my town at the time is the best for me. Go see Yonder in a small place like the canopy club and enjoy good music my friend.

[yonderoverthere]

that's like apples and oranges......

[yonderoverthere]

that's like apples and oranges.....

[ItachiLvrX]

SWEET

[0boardcertified0]

Is that a New Belgium Fat Tire hat I spy?? Counting down the days till Telluride, can't wait to see you guys again!

[chucklesthebarnrat]

If ya like Yonder Mountain maybe you will dig us. ;)

[Fenderbender1996]

sweetnes!!!!!

[gkeits]

nice ... a lil' too nice ... hhhmmmmmmm

[rlanantelope]

man you have the fucking right attitude, nothing wrong with that. long live that yonder mountain.

[NaturalBornPredator]

I know all who Yonder are not lost, i have the bumper sticker on my truck, im just telling everyone the truth and the only way to really enjoy life on earth.

[Mookmaster01]

Fucking right, i have that sticker on my nalgene bottle, and people ask me what it means. I tell them Yonder fucking rocks, kinfolkin bitches

[rlanantelope]

seen 'em over 10 times, and they still play a hell of a show. All who yonder, are not lost.

[NaturalBornPredator]

I wish i could've remembered more details about their shows, all i know is they JAM the place down!i wasnt in my right mind.I was about 3 people back from the stage. I now cannot feel any better about anything. I seriously know the meaning of life. God wants to have a relationship with us, so we can enjoy life as much as possible. Sure bad things happen, loved ones die, but this world is a test & a grain of SAND ON THE BEACH compared to ETERNITY. Have FAITH yall, Daniel

[flulou03]

ive seen them 7 times yes they are a great jam band hell of a show highly recommended

[NaturalBornPredator]

AWESOME SONG!!! I am a true friend of everyone and like a true friend, if i knew a good cold remedy, and you had a cold, i'd tell you about it. I got the remedy to enjoy life! I am a huge Yonder fan and i've shouted all the names i knew for God up to the sky before and listened closey everday but worried.Until i started praying with total faith through Jesus! I truly broke some of the hardest addictions with prayer and prayer alone!!! Been seriously clean for 2 years. CYa at the tabernacle feb

[willszmans]

I know all their albums are on itunes, and I'm pretty sure you can get them on amazon if you can't find them at a store. All their stuff is great so you can't go wrong with any one album.

[jake5680]

are there albums by this band available to buy? ive never heard of them and cant find any CD's but i like their music a lot.

[pokesmoke16]

I watch this video every day when i wake up. It puts me in a good mood.

[marizzle820]

yonder mtn, you are the greatest

[jgwidmer31]

i freaking love yonder

[jerretbolinger]

"i've seen love shine like a sunset, and last about as long." so much of this song reflects my life but that line gets me every time.

[RainbowPasghetti]

one word. Yonder.

[Leofhunti]

best band that i've ever seen, heard, lived by, ect. i saw em for the first time 09/11/01. had a hell of a lot on their plate to bring people out of the depression that loomed over that day. mid way through the second set we may not have been all good ,but we were a damn site better. thanks for that day and every other one since.

[TrippingLlama]

Oh Yonder, you have been a constant source of happiness for me and many others!

[psychedelichippyfish]

luh yonder!:]

[drewjb]

[StringChessy]

Ben wrote this song and its the greatest yonder song ever, lol, thanks for being there for the world to listen, you guys are making the world a better place one song at a time.

[StringChessy]

[Bpage211]

Wow. Awesome Song! See you guys at Telluride!!

[georgespinkelberg]
