Sturgill Simpson - The Dead Don’t Die [Official Video]

Official song from “The Dead Don’t Die”, a film by Jim Jarmusch

Lyrics:

Oh the dead don’t die
Any more than you or I
They’re just ghosts inside a dream
Of a life that we don’t own
They walk around us all the time
Never paying any mind
To the silly lives we lead
Or the reaping we’ve all sown
There’s a cup of coffee waiting on every corner
Someday we’re gonna wake up and find the corner’s gone

But the dead will still be walking ‘round in this old world alone
After life is over
The afterlife goes on

There’ll be old friends walking ‘round
In a somewhat familiar town
That you saw once when you looked up from your phone
Nobody bothers saying hi
And you can save all your goodbyes
Stop trying to pretend that we’re all not at home
And the streets will look so empty in the morning
There’ll be no one out at night
For the lights to shine down on

But the dead will still be walking ‘round in this old world alone
After life is over
The afterlife goes on

Hearts break when loved ones’ journey on
At the thought that they’re now forever gone
So we tell ourselves they’re all still around us all the time
Gone but not forgotten
Just memories left behind

But the dead will still be walking ‘round in this old world alone
After life is over
The afterlife goes on
After life is over
The afterlife goes on

Beautiful song.
Brilliant movie.

[chrisseyfingers]

This song is all anyone needs to survive the zombie apocalypse!

[PaleTrailRider]

I don’t care wether he is doing County, Bluegrass or sounds like 70’s Jam Band. Everything this man puts out is awesome.

[ZachSMarsh]

"Why does this song sound so familiar?"

"It's the theme song."

[adamelam]

Man this guys voice, he has that classic country sound that takes you back.

[cassiepage]

I love how the movie was practically just one long music video for this song. It was weird and all over the place but a very unique and funny idea for a film 😂

[TaoHoeffner]

Oh, it's The Dead Don't Die, from Sturgill Simpson. Love that song.

[davidjohnson..]

The entire movie was one big advertisement for this song

[keu]

I am a 40 year old woman diehard to the core metal fan, but holy shit! Sturgill Simpson is literally one of the best musicians I’ve ever heard in my entire life. Absolutely love him!!

[rogerloeb]

Keith Whitley vibe. This guy is so classic and talented

[RoadToTheSky]

No one listening to this during coronavirus lockdown times? I tell you, Adam Driver saw it coming: "I think this is all going to end badly."

[bigpink]

Stu exhumes a six foot under country sound that was left for dead and props it up with fiddle strings and steel....Brilliant.

[edwinloopez]

The world is perfect appreciate the details 😊

[YoureapwhatUsow]

I miss you💕never forgotten always in my ❤

[Bluecat]

My 13 year old dog died the day before... needed this one

[jason]

It was probably a wild animal. Or several wild animals.

[wassappeningnow]

I fell asleep with the TV on woke up about 3 in the morning to this song playing at the end of the movie. I instantly had to get out of bed and find out who what where when and how. This man can sang

[chiefpontiac]

There is so much truth to these lyrics. So many folks that are alive are dead souls inside. So many of those who have passed that we need back. It makes you think.
