Warning: please don't watch this video if you're epileptic or easily get motion sickness.
Video & sound are better on the first one but I like the second performance better
Look out, Mama, there's a white boat comin' up the river
With a big red beacon, and a flag, and a man on the rail
I think you'd better call John,
'Cause it don't look like they're here to deliver the mail
And it's less than a mile away I hope they didn't come to stay
It's got numbers on the side and a gun And it's makin' big waves.
Daddy's gone, my brother's out hunting in the mountains
Big John's been drinking since the river took Emmy-Lou
So the powers that be left me here to do the thinkin'
And I just turned twenty-two I was wonderin' what to do
And the closer they got, The more those feelings grew.
Daddy's rifle in my hand felt reassurin'
He told me, Red means run, son, numbers add up to nothin'
But when the first shot hit the docks I saw it comin'
Raised my rifle to my eye Never stopped to wonder why.
Then I saw black, And my face splashed in the sky.
Shelter me from the powder and the finger
Cover me with the thought that pulled the trigger
Think of me as one you'd never figured
Would fade away so young
With so much left undone
Remember me to my love, I know I'll miss her.

DVD is region 2 (won't play in US) Blu-Ray should be good to go wherever.

Today it's more of the video of the song I'm interested in more than the song itself. Mastodon to me is one of the best if not THE BEST Prog/metal bands today (IN MY OPINION!) They did this live and I don't know if its the opening lines from the lead singer sounding like a ...... off dinosaur or the guitar solo that I can only describe as "ethereal"! The combination of those and the song itself gives me goosebumps. They are SO GOOD!
