McMorrow, James Vincent - Red Dust Lyrics

wtf .. more likes.. wake up

2019 anyone??

Sometimes my hands they don't feel like my own ....I need someone to love I need some to hold 🦋

When he holds that last note...

sometimes in life I feel like that fish dropped out out water on the floor

TITTIES! 2:38

This is my favorite jvm song. I love his music so much

Who saw Brandon Flynns instagram story too?😂

This song has a hold on my soul

deeply in love with this song

Now is that her brother or lover?

@ 2:42 its so gd beautiful. I could listen to that part without the vocals for hours.

Matt Craig I thought the same thing! That part is quite beautiful

the voice layering is so amazing. it gave me chills the first five times I listened to it.

Notorious!!

Life changer...... grab your tissues. Who else came here from Notorious? I wanted to hate that show but nope. Addicted!

This whole music video is art. I don't know how to explain the feeling this all gives me - something between sadness and nostalgia and heartbreak. Man I wish I could make something like this.

Watch the other official videos from this album. Cavalier, etc.

Good job either killing or displacing all of those fish you scumbag, Normally I can't stand vegans and their preachy nonsense, but that shits fucked up.

Yeah wow I hope they're CGI or something.

Mhmmm who's up for some fish tonight!? :D

I have chills... I am pretty cold but I think it's the song. Yeahhhhhh

+Kay Bee I put a jacket on and still chilly... defs the song.

"sometimes my hands, they don't feel like my own, I need someone to love... I need someone to hold..." they way he sings those lines does something to my heart

+Chido Moyo same

+Chido Moyo I could listen to that on repeat for hours !

Thank you for your music

the music are great but ... sorry, the videos are shit to me... just my opinion...

cry crying again another was now before gone never again and crying again -i miss you so much friend

=\ -sigh- mood right now.

I will not cave under you
For my heart is an unending tomb
I will not trouble your rest
For my heart is infinity blessed

Ever a hard rot
Cut from an ancient cloth of old

Someone is ringing a bell
It chimes through this shimmering shell
That once was my vision of birth
Now is my vessel and curse

Heat from the tall lamp
Melting the outer wax that holds
Blood from a deep cut
Some of the reddest stuff to flow

Sometimes my hands they don't feel like my own
I need someone to love I need someone to hold

Reign brought me here <3_<3

Here is my interpretation on the video and the song. I haven t watch any of his other videos except this one. But, by reading comments, and others explanation of the guy s demise in Cavalier. Im convinced this song,and the video alluding to the thoughts of suicidal tendency, abortion.
Firstly, the lyrics starts off with the perspective of the poor girl who just learned the news about her supposed boyfriend (or could be. Husband). She is desolate. Yet, instead of sharing it out, let the wound be remedied. She ended up drowning in her own self destruction. She doesnt need help, she doesnt want help or any type of charity. "I will not cave under you for my heart is an unending tomb"- she doesnt want help from the aged woman. Next lines are about her boyfriend, she doesnt want to bother the departed, what is done is done. But clearly, she is devoted to him- "My heart is infinity blessed.
Continued, she runs to his room, trying on his clothes, pulling out those porno magazines, smoke, drink. She wants to know how he felt, which was explained by others, and I dont have any better insight than this.
From the coming lyrically poetic 2 lines "ever hard rot is cut from an ancient cloth of old", I induce that she is pregnant with his child, meditating on having an abortion here. But, she is asking herself if she ought resist this temptation of sin, since she is like "a cloth of old", the child is the only permanent trace of her boyfriend's existence. The one that presumably makes her feel special, and she is dearly smitten with this guy.
The next four lines is the self counter argument on this child could be a impedance to her new future "shimmering shell...vision of birth...my curse". She is indisputably broken, hurt, lost in this world, believing this could be the termination of her.
Lastly, when she bathe herself in that lake, it represents how she is now completely drown in those twisted, sinister feelings of self destruction, killing her own child. Beyond doubt, that is shown in the video as she attempted to bring an end to this tragic life. Her heart, her senses, and mind are all numb "my hands dont feel like my own." She is primed to carry on that next step.
The finale is quite ambiguous as it resort to the image of a convulsing, near death, striving for breath fish. It symbolize her vitality, and her decision for the future. Should she break everything off as she thought? Or should she withstand these horrors? Will she salvage that fish or she just gonna let it perish and drown herself in that bathtub again?

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOBS ON YOUTUBE :D

Devasting.

I'd hold and love you, Jaaames :'O

Pity fish.

The sure way to ruin a woman forever; Tattoos.
Tattoos; The mullet of the 21st century.

I love girls who have some Ink! I think it's sexy but that's just my opinion

Nah. My daughter has three amazing tattoos she designed herself. The main thing is to have them be personal and meaningful--and not to have too many.

I love this song so much, I'm afraid to overplay it.

I'm afraid to fall out of love with it, or get irritated by it.

I don't know, whatever.

wow, this reminds me some what of  #Jamesblake. great music.

Very bon iver esk. Beautiful 

Definitely bon iver esk

this is beautiful, thank you for your heavenly voice

a touch of genius here.  His vocals begin on a note that other singers have no chance of reaching....  

This song is beautiful

The song is great. The nudity is completely not necessary.

On thing wrong with the world is that people tend to take nudity only as a sexual thing and nothing more. Here in Finland mostly because of the sauna culture, people are not so unconfortable with nudity as in other countries. Here it can be unsexual or sexual. When people here go to the sauna together (not everyone does that) they don't view it as sexual even with people of different gender then they are. In this video I didn't find the nudity to have anything to do with sexualising her.

@Babl069
I agree! :)

Freedom of expression is simply more important than your notion of what is, or is not, necessary. Whether, in actuality, it's necessary or not is irrelevant, because freedom of artistic expression is necessity. Also keep your notion of 'sin' out of any reasonable debate, thanks.

@Ryan Ingham boss :) ha this is art! everything is acceptable in art

Grégory I agree with you

God, I love this dude.

Beautiful song James! Did a cover of this, you can check it out on my channel if you want :)

Lana Del Rey em versão masculina.

beautiful. <3

Alguem aqui joga LOL ?

Its like listening to an array of angels. Im in loveee with his voice! <3

What?! there are boobs in this video! awesome!

What is this genre of music called?...So smooth. This is art.

alternative

Sooooo powerful.  Thanks for creating this!

Love the song, but honestly don't get the video at all.

Pretty sure that TLC used the beginning of this song for a "Long Island Medium" advertisement awhile back.  Can anyone confirm this?

Been on repeat for a few days now....

I like this song .. and i like the boobies!

this man's music is beautiful i thank god for him

Id like to believe Red Dust's video is the sequel to Cavalier's

In Cavalier the guy fucked up his life so badly that his heart bled, longing for a true relationship.

So in Red Dust he went back to his one true love, the girl. Unfortunately, she already hated him, probably from all the previous screw ups he did to her in the past. She also has her own demons and baggages to take care of, and she misses her father deeply.  Maybe why she dresses up like him, trying to experience what it's like to be him. 

But there is an undertone to the video and that is the subject of poverty, alcoholism and drug abuse. Theyre vices that so many Americans are born into and can never get out of. Vices that hold them down while they struggle to make ends meet, to have a better life. Making them writhe and gasp for air like fish out of the water. 

omg yes please.

Thanks for the explanation

or the prequel

I am not the same, walking to the life that was too blame. I am not the same, people think I am insane. I am not the same, looking out into the blank plain. I am not the same I have no name, not even game. I am not the same, and she is the one to claim.

The emotions displayed here are painfully true. I find this very relatable, great job. :)

And the award for the most depressing music video goes to....

JVMCM you are amazing come to visit Orlando

Great song but please respect animals. There's no need to stress them and have them suffer for the sake of entertainment. Creativity can come in other ways.

Amazing voice ,love this song !

The cavalier and red dust videos are quite clearly connected. It's the same person, a woman.

Sounds like the reason of the clip inside 'Cavalier'

Can't wait for Part III. *v*

Love everything about this.
Great video - makes the song ever better than it already is, as a great video should.

Great job on the direction, acting and creativity.

mi opinions, es hermoso preciosooo i perfecta armonia 

Amazing song, amazing music, amazing voice, amazing video.

Damn. Passionate and fearless performances. Superbly shot. Kudos.

Beautiful. 

2 more days till the full album! so excited

I love the lyrics and his voice. 
It's perfect :) 

poor fish

All people ever do is analyze and critique, against our expereinces and ways and relate things, try to at least and thats what makes art what it is, if people were another way itd be something different. And it would lose something. But people are conscious beings. You may not relate to the video they made for the song, but I do, I understand it and if you dont you wont any better with any combination of worss haha. And thats just fine. Just dont go demanding an artist for a explanation, or worse, telling them to go back to what they've already done.

Its not meant to be picked apart.

If your looking for narration and explanation for the video, stop. Thats not what you do to a persons art. Enough said.

I'm still here trying to figure out how to explain this video... lol.

SAVE THE FISH

 too awesome. cant wait for the album release ahhhhhhhhhhhh

JVM, that is a wonderful sound

What is the chord progression?

It's in A# minor or play in C formation, capo 1

Video was great; I was completely mesmerised by the visuals, the imagery added depth and grit to the song and it was original. Well done James, never follow suit.

That was just beautiful......

worst music video ever
