The White Buffalo is said to be a throwback to the time of hard touring, hard drinking artists who really lived what they sang about. Everything about him is big, from his imposing physical size to his amazing vocal range. He’s as comfortable playing in a dive bar as he is in front of thousands in a European arena.
The White Buffalo released his debut EP, The White Buffalo EP in 2005 to much critical acclaim. His later releases, including his debut album Hogtied Revisited (2009), Prepare for Black & Blue EP (2010) and second album Once Upon a Time in the West (2012) reached similar accliam.
The White Buffalo's song 'Wrong' was featured on the Taylor Steele/Keith Malloy surf movie 'Shelter'.
The White Buffalo joined the Forest Rangers to record a cover of 'House of the Rising Sun' by The Animals for the season 4 finale of Sons of Anarchy.

The White Buffalo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The string between bad and good is a little misunderstood
Oh and then it turns to doubt, and then you kick and sceam and cast me out
And all that I know is true is I'm hollow as the ocean's blue
Lonely Days I await you
Shadows and graves Ill be visitng soon
Will I ever
Tossed and turned cant figure out if humans have all rung down
Where there going I dont know for sure, but they, they hide and hide and hide
Who will know when they return as they've, they've all turned to ash and burned
Well at a road side at night I think that my love's run out
Lonely Days I await you
Shadows and graves Ill be visitng soon
Will I ever
Will I ever see the moon again
"The Moon" by The White Buffalo is a hauntingly beautiful song with poignant lyrics that speak to themes of loneliness, doubt, and the search for meaning in life. The singer begins by expressing his lack of feeling and understanding towards life, conveying a sense of apathy and detachment. He acknowledges the fine line between good and bad, and how that line can often be blurred and misunderstood. He then confides in the listener about his doubts and fears, and how they have caused others to reject him. He feels hollow and empty, like the vast emptiness of the ocean.
The chorus of the song picks up on the theme of loneliness and the singer's longing for something more. He awaits the arrival of lonely days, and speaks of visiting shadows and graves soon. He wonders if he will ever see the moon again, which may serve as a symbol of hope, guidance, or a point of connection to something greater. The second verse introduces a sense of uncertainty and confusion towards humanity and the world. The singer is unsure of where people are going, and he feels lost amidst their hiding and destruction. He ponders whether anyone will even remember those who have been lost, and ultimately feels that his love has run out of steam.
Overall, "The Moon" offers a solemn meditation on the human condition and the struggles we all face in searching for meaning and connection. Its poetic language and emotional depth allow the listener to connect with their own feelings of doubt and longing.

You are the sun, I am the moon
Chase you around like a bitter fool
Sometimes I go dark
Blocked by the world
You shine so bright on the other side
Giving light to the earth
In the morning comes to soon
Because I am the moon
You are so far
The distance unkind
But I'll keep on staring until I go blind
In the morning comes to soon
Because I am the moon
But every once in a while
We lock in the sky like lovers
Just for a moment I cover up
And we're intertwined
But I'll hold you tight
Just for the time, then it's done
Just for the time, we were one
Kiss and we say goodbye
You are the sun, I am the moon
Chase you around like a bitter fool

I lost my husband October 3, 2014 and I stood by him as he was slowly dying of Silicosis (Black Lung Disease). He was my everything and though he lost his faculties, OUR LOVE STAYED STRONG UNTIL THE VERY END!! I now grieve for him every day and wish we went together, but I promised him I would stay and watch our grand babies grow and play. He said the night before he died that he wanted to box us all up and take us with him. My heart will never be the same again. 2 days before he passed away he asked me to take him out on our porch, as we got out there he said "Do you hear the doves?" we live on the farm where he was raised and we raised our children. He then sang to me "On the Wings of a Snow White Dove" and it was at that moment I knew he was going to Heaven soon. I so miss my night and shining Armor!! He was too young at 60 yrs.’ old and I was too young at 46 yrs.’ old to become a widow, I truly hate that word. I would rather say I am married, my husband awaits me on the other side. I wear my wedding rings still and his wedding ring size 16, I wear on a gold chain around my neck!! He was to us all: The Man, The Myth, and The Legend!! 6'4" and was a gentle giant, never raised his voice at me or a hand, that right there is the definition of a REAL MAN!! I miss you Gary, more than words could ever say, I miss everything about you, your long gray hair and same with your beard, and how I loved to brush your hair!!! I miss holding your huge hand in mine and telling you it was ok to let go, to be pain free, for Jesus will heal you as you enter Heaven, but please save a place for me!! I miss you MY LOVE.
