RIDGE TOP SERIES // SHAKEY GRAVES “Rotten Ol Me”

Invisible Children and the Frendly Gathering teamed up at the 2014 festival to bring you the Ridge Top Series, featuring Shakey Graves.

The release of this exclusive video was to support Invisible Children’s 2014 Musician Coalition, an army of passionate artists, brands, and partners who believe that no child should live in fear. It is a community that has committed to owning the responsibility of protecting those who cannot protect themselves. Using their time, talent, or money, the members are investing in an emergency communication network that is radically transforming lives in central Africa.

Invisible Children continues to use FM, HF, and Short Wave radio to connects remote communities to one another and give LRA members the opportunity to surrender safely. With your donation, we can expand our coverage to more communities, and invest fully in the future of the region. 79% of LRA members who defect cite these revolutionary programs as the primary reason for their escape.

I genuinely believe that this man is a once in a century type of fella. And he's "just gettin' his feathers wet..."

No son, that was it.

Far from the nightlife now
Poor fathers' daughters
Come out where the sleepers roam
And search no longer
Even if, You don't get my drift
Well, I send ya home with compliment and kiss

Yeah, from rotten ol' me. Yeah, rotten ol' me
Yeah rotten ol' me. Yeah, rotten ol' me

Well so come, leave yer shoes at home
Yeah, sink yer hooks in
Come out where the losers roam
You've had fair warning
Well come and see, your foe and friend
Yeah well if loves the way then love must be the end

Of rotten ol' me. Oh, rotten ol' me
Yeah, rotten ol' me. yeah, rotten ol' me

So i'll enjoy, that I've made so many bad decisions in my time
I don't quite know wether to stay or go
Well such a good time, but do you let it show?

Well, you know the truth may be
That trouble only finds me when I'm fast asleep
I scream of how I'm losing all my precious time
You say you're never on the winning side

Well, welcome to me, my foe, my friend
Cause, if loves the way then love must be the end

Yeah of rotten ol' me. Yeah, rotten ol' me
Yeah, rotten ol' me. Yeah, rotten ol' me

[darlenedelaroca]

[doncard]

The universe must love what you do and wants to play along.

[simonejones]

Can't get this song out of my head. I've been humming it all day!

[atom-o-tronic]

There's something to be said about playing a relaxing woodsy song on top of a hill while a screaming garage band concert echoes in the foreground

[DiscipleofJesus_]

I'm in love, his musical vibrations bring on the most delicious delivery of timing. PERFECT!
