[LexWhitedotnet]

Shane is one of the best guys I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. He let me crash at his house when I was homeless and just busking for money. We had some good times. People really should listen more to his music, he has such great lyricism, and we had some great jams together. Much love.

[takeshelter]

This is honestly breathtakingly beautiful. This guy should be world famous

[HealthyCigarette]

This is so beautiful.... this song spoke to me.

I've struggled with alcoholism and hurting the ones closest to me. This put into words the things I couldn't

[haulasshyena]

This is amazing! All of his songs are great but this one is my favorite.

[caseygust]

I've been listening to the three songs on afistfulofvinyl obsessively for like two weeks. This one really hits home.

[howmuchdidthatcost]

Don't know why but his songs always hit me hard.

[GetKebabWearKebabCry]

It's thanks to this channel that I discovered this band, and I genuinely listen to the few videos of this guy ever single day. His lyrics are insanely on the money; it's mental when a singer makes ya realise it's always possible to be more straight up and honest in yer own music, even when ya think ya already are.

-Basically, that thing of "oh my word, he's saying things about feelings in a far more concise manner than I'd previously realised..."

[dougorman]

this is probably one of my favorite songs of all time

[SnigglefritzMcGiggles]

Absolutely incredible. I can definitely identify with this 100%

[mrsportendurance]

I remember on Bob Dylan in 61 and bugg today, its a mixture. Very good

[levonnewalters]

[JojoTheUnicorn]

[autumnmachamer]

Rip shoupe da whoop. It’s so hard everyday without you. I love you and I’ll meet you at the midway under that big wheel. Sorry you beat me there.

[oakleylangley]

Oh man, I am quite sure you are one of the greatest living poets. I'd love to sit and talk to you. keep writing i'd gladly wait for years to hear even one more song of yours

[templegrandin]

I am the dog sleeping on rocks that have been sealed in concrete postures
Just to beautify the nature in this downtown park

I have been praying westward towards a mecca called Santa Cruz
I will accept that there's no heaven when I accept that there's no booze

But I feel weak
Cause I can't speak
Can't finish sentences
Like I used to

I concentrate on all the positive things I have in my life
Like my family and this one girl who keeps me sane at night

And I feel bad
That I feel bad
I give them grief
When I don't have to

I am the anger that you feel when you realize nobody cared at all
I am the anger at yourself or maybe at the alcohol
I am the rush that you get when you ponder taking a life
But to say that you were serious would just be another lie

And you feel weak
You can't speak
Can't help but feeling
A little tipped off

So take me away from here
Take me away from here
And looking back
Give me some love
Or give me a backpack

I am the dog sleeping on rocks that have been sealed in concrete postures
Just to beautify the nature in this plastic wing-field park
I am the strength between relations
I am fascination, bipolar aggravation
I am self-medication
I am masturbation
I am indoctrination
And you are a greyhound station

So take me away from here
Take me away from here
And looking back
I don't need love
I just need a backpack

[SuperKylerK]

I love this guy, if he ever found himself in my area id feed and house him

[Cam-ohpn]

This song reminds me I don't have to carry everything in my pockets

[GetKebabWearKebabCry]

I've clicked the 'like' button on all yer Bat Country songs so many times, every time I watch the video, but YouTube always seems to "unlike" on my behalf...

[MADZDWARF]

Does anyone know what guitar he's using? Sounds awesome
