Shakey Graves - Family And Genus Lyrics

This song makes me ponder darkness.. and wait for hope.

Always amazing. Anyone know what the interview clip at the end is from?

Reading the comment son this vid and..... WHAT THE HECK IS ELEMENTARY??? (Assuming no one is talking about elementary school)

RIP MARINO 🕊🌟

this has so far been my #1 song these past 2 years

3 Little heart faces

Everything minus the vocalist sounds like The Books

It doesn't matter how we found it, we are all here because we fell in love with this song.

I am a Plant Science student, but every time I read the words 'Family' and 'Genus' I have to listen to this song. I read those words often.

Found this because I use drugs

To me this is a LDS Mormon song

Goodnight moon asmr 😎

what the hell is elementary?

Elementery.
..

Found them on Noisetrade. :D

The most Subtle song i ever heard💎

Wjmu radio got me here lookn 4this song
I like wen they chattn & laughing at the end💎

The first verse has got to be one of the sexiest verses ever... I just want to sit beside her. Forever.

pretty crappy I had to sit through an ad to listen to a song made by someone else. great song, eff you uploader

ELEMENTARY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here because life is full of great and sad moments concored by love .

Love Shakey Graves, I've literally just been repeating this song over and over.

I smoke and listen to stuff like this and cruise. Best feeling in the world ❤️

LOVE IT

Just snagged this off Coffeehouse Rock couldnt sleep for the watch.  Don’t have a clue so whats it about pass away and come in handy.  Satellites pass away and sensors receive the color of the Rainbow so to speak.  Think tank studio mills of Tantric’s and cultural variation a very pleasant musical background.  Hope its not filled with listen and look triggers and the probability a wave will take you up and gravity bring you down.. 4:02

just saw these guys on WJCT... a new fan.

I found them through Goodnight Moon's asmr channel from her back yard party video check her out she's great. This song also reminded me so much of Nick and Norah's infinite playlist.... So thankful she had the name of the muffled tracks in her description, saved me the detective work. Great song!

this song is one of Shakey Graves BEST. Love It.

I wasn't really sure about this song at the start and yah know it's actually alright.

Outstanding💎

I'm going to the Elementary youtube channel and let everyone know that i'm there because of Shakey Graves.

Here thanks to Elementary

I LIKE IT

I came here to feel love.

one day i will lose myself in this song with dark blue skies at 5 a.m. and it will all be alright

God, I love Shakey Graves. Keep him around a long time. Amen.

WHAT'S ELEMENTARY ?

that sucks they were so low-key first the growlers now Shakey graves.... I guess it's time to move on...

so you wont listen to music if too many people listen to it?

Quality music here.

What a catchy song! Anybody know songs that might be similar to this?

Jesse woods has many songs with this kind of vibe (:

I feel lucky to have read your suggested artist and looked him up! lol

Like it. It sounds like Foster the People

OMG THE BEGINNING SOUNDS LIKE BUDAPEST!!!

such a great song, which it was more recognized.....

This is the reason why I love commercials, I hate them but when you come across one that has this amazing background song that mostly people oversee, I find the best music in the world.💘 thank you Samsung ❣️

too bad they had to ruin a perfectly good song... with 40 seconds of garbage at the end.

I would've downloaded it...but just don't want that kind of stuff in my songs.

Richard G what's wrong with it? Maybe cut the end with audacity?

there's a samsung commercial that has this song?

Eldon Dixon yep

PLEASE dont associate this great song with a stupid brand like Samsung...

whateva, my boy got paid for that you know. good for him

am i the only one that gets goosepumps when listening to this song with earphones on?

I've heard this song so many times on spotify but seeing the samsung commercial really bugged me that i didn't know the name.

I liked this song before the Samsung commercial! I know you all care. Lol sorry, I just had to be "that guy."
But great song, makes me feel a nostalgic melancholy but the beautiful kind, not the depressing kind.

stev6963 I agree. Its one of those songs that, depending on how you listen to it, whether you be looking for happy songs or sad songs, makes you feel. You just feel the emotion and power with it. Those types of songs are truly masterpieces in my opinion.

just heard this on a Samsung commercial! fuck Yea shakey! gettin paid gettin paid

Proud to say that I've been a long time fan before the Samsung commercial came out.

Laura Burgess congratulations

This video is about to have so many Samsung-commercial people on it...

dmbkersh what samsung comnercial ad was it? i want to see it

dmbkersh I knew this before Samsung used it.

Daianna rodriguez search for Samsung VR commercial

Does anyone know what the meaning behind this song is?

Zyon Johnson It's about loosing your family or something... idk

Zyon Johnson It's about the beautiful nature of incestuous relationships or something like that.






Lolz, jk. Gross.

Zyon Johnson it's about this bee who falls in love with a human and attempts to bring down the honey industry.

It's about this lovely family having a nice chatty dinner at the dinner table and then a piano falls from the sky, through the roof and kills grandma. The End.

This song makes me feel something in my cold cold heart

If
If I
If I ever wander on by
Could
Could you
Flag me down and beg me to
Drop what I'm doing and sit beside you

So did
Did they
Ditch us and leave us with nothing to say
Where
Where we
Where we will wait for friends and family
To pass away or come in handy
(Oh, oh, oh)
Oh
Oh dear
A rotten summer, a rotten hope, dear
Where
Where we
Wait for to lose our friends and family
To fame and fire, to dame or dandy
To pass away or come in handy
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)

Jessica Eubanks always thought he said "rotten summer, a rotten whole year..."

live version in acl is way better

Great song

Thanks Reckful

This is the legal alternative to LSD

Nostalgia

@Jordan Sheehan smoke a bowl and u straight fuck powder

I've done a lot of substances. Nothings more brutal and unforgiving than life itself. People literally take drugs to get off of life. It's a trip.

wow just heard this song on the album and I have to say with good headphones its by far the best song on the album

100% agree.

Riley Telfer can't stop listening to this.

Love it! I work in a bar and heard it on Pandora!

this song makes me feel so many things

Lena Miller same here

Ethic DTC

The dialogue at the end... where is that from?

I have no clue, but that person answering the questions is the most boring person ive ever heard of. "what do you look for in a boy? Looks." Thats crazy people talk!

who like alabama shakes I love shakey Graves to

Agreed, where the jason isbell fans at tho? O.o

I made a movie with this song, check it out if you're so inclined.... But I'm merely a
Rank
Arrogant
Amateur

Oh, I don't watch tv, too real for that, I heard him first on NPR, let me look down my nose at all of you

What's elementary ?

I'm here because I listen to shakey graves...

+ck675 it's a catchy song my dude

Damn right. Haha

damn straight!

I’m because my dad played this cd in his old car and I liked so I looked it up
it up and now I’m here

Who are the 9 people who disliked this song? They need to seek professional help.

Found an explanation for the recording at the end on Reddit. *Whew*

"Interesting story, we call them "the ladies". Chris "Boo" Boosahda bought an old reel to reel hand held tape recorder from the 50s and it had a tape of two girls in what appears to be high school giggling and laughing and doing what sounds like a magazine quiz with each other. They tell super dated unintelligible dirty jokes, gossip about boys, and talk about going parking. We sort of fell in love with these two girls and have often wondered what they were like or who they turned into. If they ever thought that two boys in the future were going to take their voices and print them on thousands of records."

are we sure this isn't audio from a Cindy Sherman interview?

i hope he knows that's ever teen age girls worst nightmare come true

Am I the only one here not because of Elementary? This played on pandora today for me.

I would be nice if they listed the music and artist in the credits!!!

Everyone and their mother here because of Elementary 😂😂😂 same here ✋✋✋

The fuck is elementary? Is it an app? I found this song cuz of Pandora.... Whatever elementary is I want it!!!!

The show.... Nvm

Thanks elementary

I found Elementary through Shakey Graves. Thanks Fam.

Haha. Nice

what is elementary

An amazing tv show.

is this song copyrighted?

I'm here because I know good music. I don't need a TV show to rely on.

Shakey Graves is the fucking MAN

realmente de acuerdo con ustedes...
Saludos desde mexico

The main reason I watch Elementary, you can always find great music there, like this one.

My absolute #1 favorite Shakey song...and recording. Seeing this live in Pittsburgh at Mr. Smalls was an absolutely mind blowing experience. Shakey became my #1 favorite artist after just 3 songs...

elementary brought me here also!

This song here I'm using it as a puzzled moment

Yea.Elementary brought me here too.

Thanks Elementary

Mr. Sherlock got me here
