Music Monday-
This meme was created by Drew @ The Tattooed Book Geek. You pick a song that you really like and share it on Monday.
Last week I shared: Twenty One Pilots “Nico and the Niners”
Today’s share:
Whiskey Myers “Broken Window Serenade”
I started watching the American drama series Yellowstone last year and became instantly hooked on it. The show stars numerous favorites including Kevin Costner, Cole Hauser, and Gil Birmingham. One of my favorite aspects of the show is all the music by independent artists. Here’s a favorite from season one (episode 8).
Lyrics:
A couple of pretty flowers
Is what I brought I to you
I saw you through a broken window
With a different point of view
You had signs of depression
From a long line of sin
And your face tells a story
Bout the places you have been
I love you so,
I thought you should know
And that muddy waters flowin
As you take my hand
Past the creek down by the holler
Through your daddies land
I could buy you a diamond
But I cannot change your world
Cuz I ain’t got no money
You’ll never be my girl no no
I thought you should know
You was gonna be a singer
Or be a movie star
But you cant catch no breaks baby
And Hollywood is hard
Now you work down at the time out
Off 155
And you’re dancing for your dollar
Just tryin to stay alive
It hurts me so
I thought you should know
You feed your addiction
With your crystal meth
And I plea for your life
as it takes you to your death
You make your deal with the devil
As your looks begin to fade
I saw you laughin through the tears
As you slowly slipped away
I watched you go
I thought you should know
Yeah I watched you go
I thought you should know
That cold rain is pourin
As they lower you in a grave
I can barely recognize you
In your fragile state
No more signs of depression
From a long time ago
I throw in a pretty flower
As they slowly laid you low, it was a rose
I thought you should know
Yeah it was a rose
I thought you should know
A couple of pretty flowers is what I brought to you
I saw you through a broken window
With a different point of view..
[This song is from the album: Firewater]

Hubby and I are totally hooked on this show, Jenn. The structure reminds me a little of The Godfather.

I agree, Teri. Are you guys on season two yet? We’re not liking season two as much, but loving the backstory and character development. Crazy!

We’re caught up, and yes, the character development is fantastic. Loving the flashbacks to when the kids were younger and you see how they became what they are now.

Fun Fact: Taylor Sheridan who writes the show and produces it, is from Texas and so all of his films and Yellowstone feature mostly Texan musicians like Whiskey Meyers and the actor who played Walker.

I knew about Ryan Bingham and came really close to sharing his song from season 1! I didn’t realize Tyler Sheridan was from TX though. I absolutely loved some of his other shows including Sicario and Come Hell or High Water. Have you watched those? Both excellent! Thanks for the fun fact. 😁

I haven’t watched the series but I hear good things about it. I love this song even though the lyrics are so very sad.

They are sad, aren’t they? The song was based on a true story about a girl I guess. The show is definitely worth checking out. 😊

Oh I love this! It’s almost a given if you love a song, I will, too, and this one is great! Now I need to check out this series! I’d not even heard of it!

I love it too, Jen. I was attracted to it the moment I heard it! Yellowstone is definitely worth checking out. It’s pretty hardcore at times on season one. The second season seems to be focusing more on the characters and their backstories. Kevin Costner and the entire cast are amazing though. Makes you want to pick up and move to Montana! 😉 I hope you like it of you try it.
