In case you want more John Moreland, here are some titles.... Cherokee, blacklist, Cleveland county blues, gods medicine, break my heart sweetly, 3:59 AM, and slow down easy
@Brayden Willett I'm doing "Heart's Too Heavy" in a few days. Stay tuned!
Cherokee is a wicked tune.
thunderroad. springsteen cover . work of art. will give you chills
I'm from Tulsa.. this man deserves more attention
My fav country artist so many good songs one of the older ones "You dont care enough for me to cry" good stuff
There is something therapeutic about just closing your eyes nodding your head and just living in the music. John Moreland has a style that lives and breathes that. Such a welcomed voice in the music landscape of today.
Great to see talented artists like him come along and share his gift with everyone!
John Moreland sure can play, but his lyrics are stunning
Not a country voice..an angels voice period
Most of the stars of country music hail from Nashville or at least they come through Nashville...I believe John might be using Nashville as metaphor (and I believe in a broader sense it's just supposed be mean the music industry at large) for the big act or the big show were the biggest players in the game are...and that are many people playing the game (charmers) and so many in fact that they're drowning out the biggest thing in the sky uhmm the (Nashville) Moon and it's a bunch of noise...So he's saying let em' have it...they can have that shit!... My name's John and I hail from Tulsa County, Oklahoma and I'm here to talk to you (listener). I want to tell you things that are specific, special, and particular about me that I believe are universal to us all and I'm going to tell them to you my way. So Hang him up in the less decorated skies over Tulsa County...I'll be the first...And I think with Indian Nation Sky...that might perhaps be a reference to Oklahoma and the Native American influence in the area (I can't speak to this one personally just something I suspect) but I think more importantly he's saying he's going to strive to be the kind of musician that fits into a group of people that smaller and/or marginalized sometimes forgotten. That's where he feels like he belongs and who he can speak for and to...or something like that...mehby...(Shrugs)
@Jebenjimon Y Wow, that was an amazing and lucid account of the song---kudos, and thank you!! Welcome to the channel, BTW!
@@RockN2Country Cheers
Yes - the “Indian nation” is a nickname for Oklahoma
First time hearing! Touched my heart strings! Thank you for bringing artists I would not hear otherwise!💛🙌🏻
Great to see this reaction. John has such a large library of songs to digest and they are all thought provoking. Keep em coming!
@hillcountrydigger Got another one of John's songs coming up in the next week, and di another one about six months ago. The dude is for real. Also, welcome to the channel!!
Afternoon Don,
So good to see you today. I'm glad I had time to take a chance to listen to someone I have not heard of before.
I am very impressed!! Beautiful voice full of living life that is challenging. Loved his gentle guitar picking. So tender and such deep emotions. I will have to listen to more of him. He is "real"
I really enjoyed your reaction, but then again I always do ;) Have a great weekend Don!
Joy to you, Pam
@Pamela Hammons Glad I could introduce you to someone you hadn't heard before. I'm doing other one of his in a few days, and he's waaaay up there in terms of talent. Thank you for your comments! :-)
One of my two favorite Moreland tracks, .. wicked talent.
I must have missed when you reacted to him before. I've never heard him. I like him. Very good lyrics. I will be looking him up.
He did "you don't care enough for me to cry." Its a gorgeous ballad and my fav by Moreland. I'm sure if you look up the songtitle youll find Don's reaction
another great song thank you made my day
My homie... great artist, even better dude. I must’ve missed your other reaction to him. You’re doin so many now I can’t keep up lol Thanks for showin’ my man some love 👍
@Jody Jaques My pleasure! I've got another one of John's coming up in a few days. The dude is for real.
RockN2Country that’s awesome; I can’t wait. He’s legit, for sure.
John Moreland has the Midas touch , Guitar , Vocals , Lyrics
Johns great. I cant find anyone like him.
Wow. I've heard of him only because there was a story about miranda lambert liking him so I looked him up. Good review.
YES DON!!! You need to do Blacklist soon! You won't regret it brother
I'll second that.
He’s next level at writing lyrics.
@Elliott Hyde I already recorded my next reaction to his song "Heart's Too Heavy," since I record the songs a week or two in advance so I stay ahead of the game. IIRC, I made the same comment as you about him being next level. Wait till you see who I compared him to---maybe you'll agree, maybe not, but it's sure to spark conversation. And BTW, welcome to the channel!
RockN2Country nice one. I’ll check it out. I saw that reaction. It’s a great way to discover new music you may not have found.
Possibly try Chris Stapleton ‘ whiskey and you’
Great channel.
John Moreland is one of my faves. I talk about Isbell a lot but your review of Moreland's You Don't Care for me Enough to Cry was the reason I found your channel in the first place. Then I noticed you had a couple Isbell songs so I stayed. Is it safe to assume the next song is Break my Heart Sweetly or No One Gives A Damn About Songs Anymore?
Oh..the 3-story library? It's just proof of civilization. (I know you know what I did there..lol...but no worries! I'm too damn old to argue like i did 25 years ago.)
@LJPorcello Thanks for the kind words and the wonderful post! And no worries about agreement/disagreement--I've lived long enough to not take my opinions, beliefs too seriously. Been wrong too many times to count or remember, so I go through life with a smile on my face and hope to find others to laugh with and talk shop with. When it comes down to it, I get tired of my own thoughts and look forward to others dislodging them. ha!!
YES He IS on a whole other level
Keeping this as brief as I can, I think John is talking to a lady friend about a visionary journey he experienced. This newfound perspective allows him to straddle worlds...he sees the languishment of the mundane, as well as the entrancing dance of the profound swirling in the stars. The acknowledgment of his carnal connection to the earth and more specifically to Oklahoma, is shown in his vision. This helps center his reality... the weight of his mortality is momentarily suspended and he experiences something only glimpsed by the mystics. I think most of the songs on this album share a common theme of seeing his home in this new light and expressing his new depth of love for it.
@David Emswiler Now my head is spinning, but in a god way. Ha! P.S. I have an off-the-beaten-track song (1931) coming up in a few days. Stay tuned. :-)
@@RockN2Country Sorry...amazing what a couple days in the dark can do to your perspective! Here's a link to a a much simpler and clearer explanation of what I was trying to say. :-) I think w'ed both enjoy reading the book that the excerpt is from: Pickers and Poets: The Ruthlessly Poetic Singer-Songwriters of Texas. books.google.com/books?id=jrs9DQAAQBAJ&pg=PT232&lpg=PT232&dq=John+Moreland+--+Hang+Me+In+the+Tulsa+County+Stars&source=bl&ots=dzetruKCHa&sig=ACfU3U0shxcrATa4UgIDYwEo0Vm6YUZ2zw&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjjz_zF2tXjAhURVK0KHSzFAR84ChDoATABegQIBxAB#v=onepage&q=John%20Moreland%20--%20Hang%20Me%20In%20the%20Tulsa%20County%20Stars&f=false
Great Video Don , John in my opinion is one of the 2 or 3 best songwriters currently taking oxygen into their lungs
I agree! And just so you know, Mr. Moreland was born in Texas (just like all OU's recent quarterbacks!) :-)
David Emswiler he doesn’t claim TX though He claims Oklahoma:) like all the cool kids do
@@SmallBatchNetwork LOL...
@David Emswiler Well, Art Briles says hello, so you're onto something. :-)
@@RockN2Country Ain't in he in Canada or Italy or something? Reminds me, one of my favorite authors is John Grisham..."Playing for Pizza" was a great book about Italian football. If you haven't read it, I highly recommend it!
I've lived in OK off and on most of my life, born and raised here. Oklahoma has a lot of Native American territories, reservations, and tribal governmental buildings - most of the land was bought from or owned by Native Americans as per certain treaties. The Indian Nation Turnpike goes through Tulsa, as well.
That being said, from my personal emotional experience - there's something about central and southeast Oklahoma at night - the skies are pretty fantastic. There's not a lot of light pollution out this way, but there's just enough civilization that you can go and have a drink. The stars are bright, even in the city, downtown McAlester or even in Tulsa - you can still make out the stars.
I've lived in places like Seattle Washington, where the mountains were never far away and the trees were tall and there was a sea of people. Still, I used to long for the quiet, rolling hills and deciduous forests and familiarity of the evening sky, purples and pinks - like an indian paintbrush flower, striped across the sky.
@Chaney Robertson That's good stuff right there---thanks for sharing that, and welcome aboard the channel!
Intriguing, definitely need to read the lyrics and then take another listen. Would you add Emily Scott Robinson's "The Dress" to your long list of requests, please? It's from her album Traveling Mercies.
@Tupelo Honey I'll put her on the list. And of course I saw what you did there with the title of the album. ;-)
@@RockN2Country 😎
hang me in the tulsa county stars
hang me in the tulsa county stars
meet me where i land if i slip and fall too far
hang me in the tulsa county stars
i don't want to come back down to earth
no, i don't want to come back down to earth
my heart is growing heavy from the ever endless hurt
so i don't want to come back down to earth
and babe i know
this life make you cold and leave you mad
make you homesick for a home you never had
burnin' out the good with all the bad
so darling let the charmers lean the room
they're drownin' out the Nashville moon
i want to learn exactly who you are
then hang me in the tulsa county stars
find me in the indian nation sky
you can find me in the indian nation sky
when it feels like nothings real and
no ones standing on your side
just find me in the indian nation sky
i'd set ablaze to secrets I'd concealed
i'd set ablaze to secrets we'd concealed
if i could make you feel the way you make me feel
i'd set ablaze to secrets we'd concealed
and babe i know
this world will have the wolves outside your door
make you leave all that you love to fight a war
but never tell you what you're dying for
so darling let the charmers lean the room
let 'em have that Nashville moon
i want to know exactly who you are
then hang me in the tulsa county stars
just hang me in the tulsa county star
I HIGHLY recommend "Heart's Too Heavy" for the upcoming John Moreland reaction.
@Dylan Hutchens I recorded the reaction a couple of days ago, and you're pretty close to the one I did. :-)
yes yes yes
You know who else loves John Moreland? Miranda! :)
Maybe it's just a song to his home city of Tulsa, ok. I also think that the stars in the song have always been something he admired even trough hardships. I'd imagine Tulsa is rather flat and that the country surrounding it has a great view of the stars.
jp Wodusky actually, Tulsa is in the eastern part of Oklahoma and is not flat!
@@bobbyecrockett9032 yep, it's pretty hilly here
You should react to Cherokee by John Moreland
@Carlos Ramirez Thanks for the rec, and welcome to the channel! I just added it to the list, but please be patient since the list is long. Thanks again!
Please do 359am by John Moreland please it's my second favorite song of his .
The Indian nation sky is the skies over the Sioux and Cherokee nations. They call it the Indian nation. Oklahoma has a huge native American population. He is saying that it's ok to put his feelings asides and focus on her own until it's convenient for her. Because his love will always be there like the starts
Here in the real world Alan Jackson please next
Like if you agree
"Wanted" always is nice right along with it, I think you'd agree 😉. Just sayin'...in case Don feels like a 2-fer 😁
Just a thought Don. So many of these songs you say you wish you had the lyrics. Why not pull up the lyrics when you react?
@Logan Schrapf I like the challenge of working through the song and the experience of it all. If I were to become ensconced in the lyrics I'd miss the musicality and other aspects of the song. I get most of the lyrics, but even with reading the lyrics to a song like John Moreland's, I'd still need time to process it.
@@RockN2Country fair enough. I was just curious
Liked the song alot but I'm kinda confused. What a lost talent.
