You always know it’s an awesome song if it gets viral on YouTube.

One of these amazing songs is an original from Southern rock band Blackberry Smoke. Their song titled “Ain’t Much Left Of Me” has gained over 22 million views on the video-sharing platform and has certainly become a hit!

The rock band, which hailed from Atlanta, Georgia, started its musical journey in the early 2000s and has been making great songs since then. Their genre is a beautiful mix of folk, country, classic rock, and blues.

Blackberry Smoke has released six albums, which included two that hit the top of the Billboard charts!

From the way they look to the way they move, the members of this talented band seem to be fun-loving and friendly. All of the guys have really long hair, authentic Southern styles, and huge, goofy grins. That only goes to show how much they love being in the industry and giving their fans incredible songs to listen to.

However, no matter how goofy these guys may be, they certainly transform into something different when they perform. The way they sing and play music together is a mesmerizing sight, leaving every listener and viewer entranced by their emotional and special song.

The words in the hit original song are simple but true, touching one’s deepest emotions as they listen to its message and melody.

In this acoustic number, the members of Blackberry Smoke certainly proved their talent and their fantastic way of telling a story through a song.

When asked about the meaning behind the lyrics, Charlie Starr, the band vocalist, explained:

“It’s a nobody-knows-you-when-you’re-down-and-out kind of song. You don’t have a friend and you don’t have a nickel.”

Starr also shared that the song was initially written for a couple of acoustic guitars. However, it eventually turned into a musical opus during band rehearsals.

It’s a song that easy to relate to. A lot of us could probably connect to it and maybe, this is the reason why millions of people online loved the song and its message. It’s always good to be reminded that life is more delicate than what we think and that we should always find the strength to fight our battles, no matter what.

The song is an amazing story that makes us feel vulnerable but strong at the same time.

Apart from the song’s special meaning, the way the band performed it sincerely also makes it even more incredible. The way they played their instruments, the vocals, and the general vibe of the band as they sang the powerful song totally made the performance even more remarkable.

Blackberry Smoke’s “Ain’t Much Left Of Me” will surely leave you with lifted spirits and a hunger for more of the band’s fantastic performances and songs.

They totally gave justice to how Southern music should be sung and we are happy to have watched such an amazing song performed live.

This band is so much more than talent. More so, they aim to tell stories and give people another reason to love Southern music. On their website, the band said: “We’re all likeminded in that we all want to explore.”

This only goes to show that this band is not just here for the fame or the fortune. They are always after something new to offer to the listeners, and for that, they have definitely become even more amazing to our eyes.
