It’s a capture of the livestream on Facebook. I was happy to add it to my collection as during my capture my Internet kept blowing up.
@Craig Manning I hadn’t seen this video and just saw the link on another site, which I followed back here. You might have already figured this out, but... Ryan is the same guy who hosted/acted as MC for the Autumn Leaves Project events out in Topanga. If you watched the live feed (or listen to the bootlegged audio), he’s on there. I’d honestly forgotten hearing the story about his niece, but if you really want your heart broken, Ryan posted the eulogy his brother gave on the gofundme page. He also posted links to both the song Butch wrote and the song written by a country duo, with whom I’m not familiar. I’d seen him at prior events, but I chatted with him really briefly at the Sunday event this year and he was /super/ nice. There are also links to a couple charities on there.
Cool! Nice tune, kind of a reggae groove almost. Fun hearing Butch sing this style, it doesn't sound to me like something he would write. How did the collab come about?
This is absolutely the last thing I expected to find from this thread bump, there has to be a story behind why he covered this song hah
I don't even know where it came from. Someone just tweeted it to me, but he hasn't shared it as far as I've seen. I bet it's out on streaming platforms tomorrow and then he'll explain it.
He said on Instagram last weekend that he had a cover coming this week. Sounded like something he did on a whim, but I'm sure he'll say more tomorrow like you said.
He mentioned earlier this week he had recorded a cover. Seems to have just become available a day before expected.
I feel pretty confident that I wouldn't know this song if my cousin hadn't written it and there wasn't a line in it about my aunts and uncles. Ha
Yeah, I’m not familiar with it at all. Don’t know what song I was expecting, but not this. It’s ok, but I’m more waiting for this concept album he’s teased. Just hook it to my veins!
Man he really should have given that text a once over before posting. But also that's awesome that the Weezer album got nominated.
