I've been living with a curse Combing through the pages of my youth There's a million soggy miles Soaking through the soles of my shoes And I've been staying up all night I don't give a damn to sleep anymore My eyelids are heavy But my dreams don't sing like before And I apologize a thousand times for holding up the show I always had the words, but they don't quite know where to go You said give me one good reason, now give me 20 more Don't give yourself away to settle someone else's score I got the guiltiest conscience Listening for a savior on a Saturday night I got my ear to the ground You got Easter Sunday in your eyes And I apologize if I seem a little overwhelmed I'm thirsty, but the holy keep on pissing in my well I had a purpose and a song that was true But I ain't ever had a lick of sense when it comes to you So try to be patient, try to understand I'm a child, trying to do the work of a man My pockets are empty, I don't own a thing But I'd take a diamond from the sky and put it in your ring
I have not listened to one of his songs that hasn't profoundly touched my soul.He writes with heart and hurt with emotion about real moments.Not many do that quite like this. I hope to see him play soon.
My cousin Bobby Dean is one of his good friends and tour man... He introduced him to me before even hearing his music... A wonderful energy about him. When I later listened to him, I cried so hard. Music isn't soulful like it used to be... But this... This grabs you by the soul... ❤❤❤❤❤
Chills when I first heard his voice. It was like the boss was reborn with a southern guitar and Waits was waiting in the back room. This is like the first sip of warm bourbon after being dry for a spell.
I started with Tom Waits 2 hours ago and now I'm here. You have some righteous talent my man. Sad I haven't discovered you before now but im happy I have!

What a rare jewel. A diamond from the sky: John Moreland. God bless you and keep you and cause His face to shine on you, and be gracious toward you. Shalom brother.
I could just wonder into the forest, find a spot to sit, and dissipate into nothing listening to this mans music. I had my first spiritual awakening happened when I stumbled across his music. It physically touches my soul
I feel that by his songs we have been through the similar things in life and damn it hurts bad feeling lied to and abandonded by the religeon she made you go to only to leave you in the end, if thats not what his songs are about then man it feels like he is singing straight to me about my life. Too many tears to count until two in the morning before work and having no motivation to face the day, when you give someone all of you and they leave you end up with nothing left.
John is Such a great singer songwriter. I feel privileged to walk the earth while he does. I even heard he lost a lot of weight I hope that's true. So we can get more n more greats from him. They are priceless
Every since civil wars broke up, I haven’t really cared about music...which is so sad. You made me believe again, you have so much talent. Keep singing and writing. I love it
I've been living with a curse
Combing through the pages of my youth
There's a million soggy miles
Soaking through the soles of my shoes
And I've been staying up all night
I don't give a damn to sleep anymore
My eyelids are heavy
But my dreams don't sing like before
And I apologize a thousand times for holding up the show
I always had the words, but they don't quite know where to go
You said give me one good reason, now give me 20 more
Don't give yourself away to settle someone else's score
I got the guiltiest conscience
Listening for a savior on a Saturday night
I got my ear to the ground
You got Easter Sunday in your eyes
And I apologize if I seem a little overwhelmed
I'm thirsty, but the holy keep on pissing in my well
I had a purpose and a song that was true
But I ain't ever had a lick of sense when it comes to you
So try to be patient, try to understand
I'm a child, trying to do the work of a man
My pockets are empty, I don't own a thing
But I'd take a diamond from the sky and put it in your ring
When the RUclips rabbit hole never lets you down
Exactly
I always end up headed down a rabbit hole on RUclips 😆
I've found so many of my now favorite artists this way
Yeap
I was recommended this from Ben Caplan’s song, under control. Jump in that rabbit hole 3 year old comment person
When you've thought about it...suffered it... and wondered how it was going to go down...John Moreland steps in and says: "This is how you say it"
And when I couldn't find the right thing to say..... I see what you post. Thank you. Perfect.
Outstanding comment Common Good, you nailed it!
Common Good exactly it could not be said any better. John Moreland says everything we couldn’t or didn’t even no how to say.
Common Good beautiful.
Well said. This man is amazing
Love this guy, highly under recognized. His lyrics are friggen poetry ❤
Good Grief, every song is soooo good, I'm so glad I randomly clicked on one of this dudes videos
Me and you both
Me too
I follow you both
I have not listened to one of his songs that hasn't profoundly touched my soul.He writes with heart and hurt with emotion about real moments.Not many do that quite like this. I hope to see him play soon.
Breathtaking voice, powerfull lyrics and so much heartbreaking... real americana music, so far from mainstream shit polluting radios and TV
Amen
"Don't give yourself away to settle someone else's score."
Love that line!
My cousin Bobby Dean is one of his good friends and tour man... He introduced him to me before even hearing his music... A wonderful energy about him. When I later listened to him, I cried so hard. Music isn't soulful like it used to be... But this... This grabs you by the soul... ❤❤❤❤❤
This is pure stuff
yes
so very True.
Whatever womern he's singin about, she's lucky. That Man is badass.
My husband has 5 cousins and John is one of them. He is a man of few words but pours his heart out in his music. He's amazing
Never have I heard a song, where I could relate to every single word. Beautiful song, amazing artist.
Yes he is ...... can't wait to thank him personally some day
This is my favourite song of his. By far.
You are one of the few master song writers of our generation. Everything is truthful and from the heart and it is greatly appreciated.
i know I'm kinda off topic but do anybody know of a good website to stream newly released tv shows online?
@Canaan Adriel flixportal :)
@Ben Prince Thank you, I went there and it seems like a nice service :) I really appreciate it !
@Canaan Adriel you are welcome xD
This man is by far one of the greatest you will ever hear
Chills when I first heard his voice. It was like the boss was reborn with a southern guitar and Waits was waiting in the back room. This is like the first sip of warm bourbon after being dry for a spell.
I listened to his songs for over 3,300 minutes last year. I don’t regret a minute. A mix he is a big part of my night and work playlist.
Might be one of the best lyrical songs I have ever heard
The best. I've explored every artist that exists in this genre for ten years and you, Sir are the absolute best there is.
agreed.
'never had a lick of sense when it comes to you'
just stumbled across John 10 minutes ago, and my only regret is i didn't hear about him sooner!
I started with Tom Waits 2 hours ago and now I'm here. You have some righteous talent my man. Sad I haven't discovered you before now but im happy I have!
Amazing voice, beautiful songwriting.
I am easily, completely, captivated in his voice. I can feel each word ❤️
This song is brilliant. If I wasnt currently in love and feeling like my past defined me. I don't think I would have heard it the same way.
Un grand Monsieur avant un COEUR GROS COMME CA et un talent encore plus Gros, merci pour ces grands moments
Oh my stars! Who cannot love this man's music. I hear you John!
This guy has the greatest lyrics and he has a voice that can speak to your soul! John Moreland is a true legened
I absolutely love this song! Perfection! No other words...

{...} I’m thirsty, but the holy keep on pissing in my well {...}..........can someone explain what they understand by this...phrase of the song..?
@@Tripl3333 In my opinion he's referring to seeking out guidance from religious folk but they keep looking down on him instead
@@calebbrown7896 .........yup,sounds reasonable...thanks.
