Hellbound on a Barstool by Mark Schottinger

[schugs99]

Holy shit this is so good.

[schugs99]

@mrjackolanterns You mean the lyrics? People can write about whatever they want. I don't think he's trying to be a social outcast.

[SoloClassic]

@mrjackolanterns just cause someone doesn't own nice things doesn't necessarily mean he isn't poor. He might have saved a long time for those things or were given them.

[USCCHRIS0476]

I'm Actually Related to him :)

[Rockyfrom1986]

Pretty sure this guy gets laid.

[hohum891]

@Rockyfrom1986 haha yup, he's married.

[USCCHRIS0476]

@hohum891 im his cousin

[tannmel]

That's heavy, man. Real heavy.

[backyardbeachbum]

i go back to this movie and this song whenever the weight and pressures of society feel to heavy. then i'm all "existential crisis evaded!"

[ocmachine]

I heard this song and it gave my soul goose bumps. We need music like this but we get artists like LMFAO

[southcountyvegan]

This guy is the man, love this song, I want to smash the face of the guy who said this is pretentious and what not, this is good music

[youmechanism]

I have been listening to this about 4x a day. So good.

[ApplPi3]

i. love. this. song.

[AlArnabKadim]

saw the movie, and when it was over i was thinking, ive got to find out who actually wrote the song dude was covering. well, ill be.

[MegaCappuccio]

@AlArnabKadim I did the exact same thing. This guy has talent.

[fitzharrisk]

This is fucking gorgeous

[colorsoc]

I hate how those people just walk by

[BigRedProductions904]

netflix is a godsend. oh ya pleas make more music!

[andy1sim]

I like the smile at the end when he found out the driver was right. Like one poster said, he seemed really detached with society and that was probably a rare sight seeing him smile.

[raffizzl]

saw this on netflixs woooohoooooo

[rcuthber]

I AGREEE put up more music YOU ARE AMAZING!

[wookiewrangler]

Hard ass

[dailygrime1]

at some points it sounds like theres overtones of a violin. anyone else hear that?

[dailygrime1]

golden

[Crassy777]

OMG!I adore this beautiful man!

[athomas9302]

Does anyone know the chords for this song?

[danielsidwell]

thats how people show each other music nowadays, GET ON THAT YOUTUBES MR SCHOTTINGER

[Rimsiakas]

Damn, such good lyrics!

[doug47130]

Best song Ive heard in a long while

[ChopperJohn4]

I remember seeing this movie about a year ago and loving the part where he sang this song, but it was cut super short in the actual film. I'm glad they have this up here cause i've been looking for a full version.

[zachphunk]

I have been listening to this song since it had 1800 views.. now it has 25000!! I knew I listened to it alot but not that much! Im addicted to this..

[Shnikies78]

I love this fucking song Jesus Christ. I was watching the parking lot movie and he started singing I was like holy hell I gotta go download that. And then I learn its this dudes song. Wow man you need to write more music your song is brilliant.

[ifhgsfj]

PRETENTIOUS HIPSTER BULLSHIT

[aquarius567]

@ifhgsfj Haters gon Hate

[danielsidwell]

@ifhgsfj PHILISTINE

[blakea131]

@ifhgsfj thats a pretty judgmental thing to say he said like 3 words and none of it was pretentious you just say that because of how hes dressed and the music he plays.

[mysteamaccount]

Y U NO RELEASE THIS AS A SINGLE?

[ctommy205]

this kids got some talent

[colorsoc]

I love this song so much

[colorsoc]

I love this song so much

[lghkmh]

Sweet Jesus, that boy's got a purritty mouth.

[DoYouKnoTheTimes]

Bought this on iTunes with the quickness

[DoYouKnoTheTimes]

His voice is the shit....

[solodoloridah]

his songs are fucking awesome!

[droptopful]

downloaded the whole album i love it

[solodoloridah]

@droptopful where do you download it at???? I want it!

[MSHartwig0102]

Mark, get your law degree, but then you definitely need to market your music. I love your jams really down to earth and original.

[0788steven]

robertsonrobert1

Fair enough it's all just preference anyway. lol

[spamwillkillyou2]

verse

G Em D

Chorus C D walk down G D/F# Em D

thats about it

[t1mo1hy]

wow, what a song! amazing. reminds me of British Colombia.

[0788steven]

I'm just not diggin' this music. I feel like he's just..."blank" Where's the emotion?!?! he's not singing, he's dragging out his words. lol.... You want singing, Listen to 45 acoustic by shinedown!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! anyway.. He can play the guitar so that's cool!

[robertsonrobert1]

@0788steven 45 acoustic is officially the worst song I've ever heard in my entire life. He's dragging out his words because he's from the south and for sitting in a parking lot, I think the emotion in the song is pretty solid.

[jthogan23]

@0788steven i think the fact fact that he's so detached makes the song better. it fits the content of the lyrics.

[jcool411]

He looked and acted like such a bro in the film when he started singing I was shocked to see what came out. He should deff try his luck in the music industry, he has a mainstream look and an indie sound very marketable.

[FEEDER87]

What are the chords?

[Danf91ex]

This song is better than his higher production value songs. This was an excerpt from the parkinglot movie... So Im pretty sure this shot was sort of meant to make the viewer feel as if they were standing next to him. paying attention to him while taking in some remnants of what he is supposed to be doing.

[xpatrickstumpslovex]

He has one of those voices that just makes me want to bawl my eyes out

[leannie4769]

love this video. awesome voice man. u rock!

[lghkmh]

So ballsy to try to rhyme Mephistopheles! And he pulls it off! Love this guy.

[lghkmh]

So ballsy to try to rhyme Mephistopheles! And he pulls it off! Love this guy.

[rememberwheni]

very nice song but whoever filmed this is fully stupid. nice and professional framing with a lovely out of focus pan. oh, and the best bit, the messy messy zooms.

[ruthiooo88]

also....bob dylan meets billy joel

[ruthiooo88]

amazing. that is all. 

[trevorzac]

chords?



[flyingdjs]

would i leave you if i could the angels tell me that their offering's still good but i'm tended by my stop for leaves got me messed up up-n-down on my knees when the lights go on the angels leave will there be a light in me i am hellbound on a barstool wondering where did it all went wrong hellbound on a barstool .... ...uuhhhh one dollar.. o you're right.

[vladnada]

@flyingdjs I think its "Mephistopheles", not "my stop for leaves". Rest looks good though. Thanks

[flyingdjs]

a poor man begs a dollar says he needs it for a ride i ask him where he's going he says to the other side i wish him best of luck he says it's worth of a try and i dont have much money but for those angels i'll oblige. i am hellbound on a barstool wondering where did it all went wrong hellbound on a barstool while the angels play their song i try to sing a long, but i fear i'm .... too far gone, too far gone. ammm too far gone.

[flyingdjs]

i think i'm going down somehow i dont care there's a band that's playing pretty and alotta ladies there dancing quite divine angels keeping time but i can't keep my eyes off the exit sign i'm hellbound on a barstool wondering where did it all went wrong? hellbound on a barstool while the angels play their song i try to sing-along, but i fear i'm too far gone

[emianne]

Completely amazing. I am totally in love with his voice.

[redjumpgrandma]

I am a song writer and I very much enjoy the lyrical structure of this song. Very personal, not really country nor folk, more like americana. Great, Great, Great stuff man

[drumrugbycrazykid64]

awesome!!! 

[1tufhk]

markschottinger . bandcamp . com / more of his music

[BuffettXxX]

sounds like bob dylan

[paridisegrowth]

Fuckin love this dude!

[Carlvskansas]

really good, reminds me of john prine's lyrics

[macditty]

i have an inkling that this place will be flooded with applications lol. that job looks so fucking cool and lax

[chandanita]

this guy is veryyy talented!!

[DBC7886]

Is it better to live as a monster or to die a good man?

[rocknrollwllneverdie]

great movie and a great song, his music reminds me of bob dylan for some reason

[macditty]

@rocknrollwllneverdie bob dylan, kris kristofferson and of course hank williams sr is what it reminds me of. i love how he casually stopped(in the movie not this clip) to take that toll and that bitch was giving him shit and he totally owned her. she tried to insult him he was so idc stfu lol

[KyMiller]

You need to put a full version of this up... great tune.

[HarryTroller]

I want this LP!

[mrbyg97]

watched this movie yesterday. these are my kind of people.

[Lepracorns]

0 dislikes, I think the world agrees that this is something special

[TheCubanGringo]

@Lepracorns 1 dislike, probably that crazy bitch who didn't want to pay her fee.

[zoeticify]

SO FUCKING GOOD

[babelfishable]

Beautiful!

[TKMVillar]

You need to release a full version of the song without the car interrupting you!

[FishRecycler]

My buddy just sent me this and I'm glad he did - awesome!

[parapanties]

sexy! love your voice- reminds me of hank williams III

[peaz78]

Great song, Mark.  The law's alright but the world has a lot of lawyers. I hope you keep with the music. There's a lot of crap music and yours isn't. Start your own youtube channel at least.

[alswisdom]

I can only imagine what kinda record this guy could make if he worked with producer T.bone Burnett, wow amazing i think.

[Productof24blk]

so natural 

[gengspatton]

you need to make a youtube account, and put up more music!!!!!!! and post the chords!! great job man!

[MadChopz]

This guy is in Law School now, WTF!

[ForwardForwar]

awesome

[Spindlework]

Great tune

[kramlil2]

Mark Schottinger wrote it and used to be in 6 Day Bender. They played a version of it on their first self-titled album.

[Derelictos]

I get a kick out of his demeanor... You know the way he just looks so chill.. like it comes so natural to him Especially after he performs his other song "black and white"

Its so awesome how he just stops and takes the parking stub from that guy.

[thejonhendricks]

haha, ya for some reason I watched the movie on netflix and as soon as I heard this part I googled the lyrics and found this youtube vid, wasn't paying full attention and didn't realize at first it was an original from him. love it.

[joes1963nova]

You fuckin rock man. I'm a parking garage attendant and I thoroughly enjoyed the movie

[210830979713]

If he's got an album with 9 more songs half as good as this one, put me down for 2 copies.

[dustinfoulkable]

This guy is the shit. Saw the movie on netflix. It was great, but this guy kicks serious ass. Update your website man! Get your sound out there!

[kaithlyn123]

EVERYONE PLEASE POST THIS ON YOUR FACEBOOK!

[dizkp11]

@kumka002 thanks alot I look into the other music too, this guy is pretty awesome.

[dizkp11]

What Genre of Music is this song considered or if anyone knows types of artists similar please let me know I'm trying to look for some music.

[kumka002]

@dizkp11 I think this would be considered folk music. It has it's roots in country like Hank Williams with a song structure like Johnny Cash. He sings like Bob Dylan (a little). Reminds me of The Tallest Man on Earth who's a newer artist.

[letzgo86]

You what's cool? The fact that he works in a job that doesnt pay top dollar, yet he makes it his priority to play a premium guitar. The Martin D-16GT is like a $1000 instrument...rock on Mark; you're the berries!

[shortyj74]

I would like to hear more of his music. I'm with 2fat2work I want to hear the end.

[shortyj74]

I would like to hear more of his music.

[smirkypox]

this guy is relatively unknown yet in the first week of having a song up it got 5,000 hits. that doesn’t happen to just anybody! after listening to these songs you can't help but want to share them with your friends. could easily see him making it big in the music industry.. if there's more where this came from, I think he has the talent to become one of the best musicians of our time.

[pezpunko]

yep, I listened to his other song "black and white" on a loop like 15 times.

Love his music. He makes it look easy.

Way to go man I hope you make it big!

[kumka002]

For the chordsiits pretty much just GED for the verse, then CDGE CDGE CD for the chorus. He works the thumb to get the low E on the up stoke. great great song

[Daracus]

This man is a genius.

[CasualtiesInSociety]

This song is amazing. Tab please?

[sammy5112]

Awesome job, Mark! Will check out your website...

[2fat2work]

stupid guy in the car. i want to hear the end of the song!

[jat1017]

This is a beautiful song all the way through.

[unholyprophetjz]

can some one better than me on the guitar please put up a tab for this song thanks

[colin340]

I love this song

[gimmeawhopper]

i've listened to this song about 15 times straight. great job

[tjgrad04]

There is an epic audio edit in the documentary to cut out most of this song. I can't even figure out when it happens. Bravo.

[89visi0n]

fucking awesome. Just saw this movie the other day and immediately wrote down the lyrics. ingenious, good luck out there.

[5aiyan1]

Wow man keep it up!!! Music is my life, I need more more more. This is the original stuff I love to hear! I hope we can hear an album from this guy soon!

[chckswm71]

I am so in love with this song I wish it was on iTunes

[SixDayBender]

@chckswm71 it is on Itunes, 6 Day Bender, Hellbound is the name of the song, track 3

[sggirb55]

@SixDayBender wiat is this not written by him??

[SixDayBender]

@chckswm71 It is on Itunes, 6 Day Bender, Hellbound, Track 3

[ryaguy29]

@SixDayBender he also sings this on the parking lot movie soundtrack its just this same clip but its on itunes. i love the 6 day bender verision. come up to the northern states

[lghkmh]

@SixDayBender This version is more melancholy and sweet.

[woodnymph77]

I was so happy to find the full song after seeing The Parking Lot Movie, as it is the best part. A shame they cut so much of it out, but I guess they can't include everything. Thanks for sharing, a true talent and fantastic voice.

[Paul7596]

I looked up this song, I had no idea it was original. Love it! Put it on itunes!

[gimmeawhopper]

@Paul7596 i didnt either until the end credits in the movie

[azpellady]

Ambling tongue forming beautiful dictums melodically

[rinren84]

Just watched The Parking Lot movie and am now in love with Mark's music. So good!

[blametheNazis411]

3 AM, surfing netflix, live in cville so naturally i watched the motion picture, saw him sing, immediate internet search boolean parameters, found this vid, i want a job here, u need to keep making videos

p.s. help me get a job here

p.s.s. ur pretty entrancing

[crazyhorse02554]

Someone needs to sign this guy

[wizboy211]

This song is amazing. Way better than the fake songs with fake music on the radio. Need to hear more music like this, instead of autotunes and other fake stuff. Loved the movie and this guy, amazing documentary and song, he needs to be signed. He has music on a website, just google Mark Shottinger.

[afrodeschiac]

I can't believe all those people, toward the end of the clip, just passed right by him without stopping to listen. WTF?

[smirkypox]

everytime I listen I try to figure out what the guy in the car says at the end.. something about there being 'two on there' ?

[for3verl0v3]

This song is really good. I love his voice... & his lips. They're mesmerizing.

[jtuffts]

Great stuff Mark, if law school don't pan out you'll do fine with the music! Very very good!!!

[linuskim]

just caught the flick on netflix. somebody get this guy signed if he isnt already.

[aslad]

@linuskim The guy is AMAZING!

[Sosukodo]

@linuskim Yeah no sh*t. Exactly what I was thinking. At the very least he could sell it for a pretty penny.

[apologetickid]

Man, Parking Lot Movie was awesome. And this dude's singing was definitely a highlight.

[Smith4842]

I was watching the movie on Netflix and when I heard this I had to look up the full thing. Sounds awesome man. Your other stuff is good to. My buddies and I play similar stuff! Keep on playing brotha!

[vineyard87]

I love this song, dude you rock!! Keep'em coming!!
