I saw him live 2 days ago, & I was so happy he sang this. If you ever get the opportunity to see him live, go, you won't be sorry. I hope he comes back to my area someday
He has to be the most underrated, unappreciated greatest all around musical talent the world has ever known. I have wanted to be a writer my entire life, and I can just hope to ever write such beautiful words as this man and then to put it in song with a voice that makes you feel his pain. Just amazing.
Had no idea who this guy was. I was at a music festival just chilling not expecting anything when this guy walked out on stage. 20 seconds into his first song I wasn't worrying about anything but listening.
Paroles I swore the days were over Of courtin empty dreams I worshipped at the altar of losing everything And the guard I held together Was losing all its shape And in my head you looked so gorgeous It's keeping me awake There's a scar on my soul So let me down easy Break my heart sweetly Like you always do I guess I can't let go Til you wreck me completely Break my heart sweetly Drape me in blue I was never scared of nothin Thought I had a home Life went and broke me open So I carried it alone I'm findin all this well-worn sadness I never knew I kept And I still chase you into heartache Every time you take a step. There's a scar on my soul So let me down easy Break my heart sweetly Like you always do I guess I can't let go Til you wreck me completely Break my heart sweetly Drape me in blue I swore the days were over Of courtin empty dreams I worshipped at the altar Of losing everything But you had a halo made of diamonds Resting on your head I should be dealing with my demons But I'm dodgin' them instead. There's a scar on my soul So let me down easy Break my heart sweetly Like you always do I guess I can't let go Til you wreck me completely Break my heart sweetly Drape me in blue
I was introduced to John Moreland when he opened up for Lucero in Sioux Falls. He came out on stage all by himself and completely had the crowd mesmerized shortly after he started playing. Watching him on stage all by himself was amazing and I've been a fan since.
a lot of tears to cry. lost marriage, hard childhood....only me and my guitar......i am glad to have my guitar. i really think music is my only reason to survive. its a treasure
Always loved having John play in our bar in Norman when I worked there. Every single show was an absolute treat. The only time our regulars shut up was when he was on stage.
I'm sorry for what you went through. I hope you find someone who deserves you. I come back to this song over and over again. It's so beautifully and agonizingly real.
I feel this song is about being in love with someone and that person realizing they are not in love with them. The heartbroken person just wants to hear it for themselves. Everytime they see the person they're in love with they're heartbroken knowing the love is not mutual.
I just want you to know you are loved and you matter you are never alone and we are forgiven and each choice we make shines through the darkness because 💘 LOVE is more ♥than a word Love is Life its part of us ,its the Best part its in our DN A with each choice we make we choose how ❤ much light and Love and forgivness and simply never judge instead ❤ask yourself nobody wants to be in a place that makes us 💗weak ,suffering,hopless, helpless,lifeless, nothingness we all can stop the Darkness by simpley choosing to take a moment and try to understand and offer ♥your light and guideance to the Lost and broken to remind them they are special they are love and they have everything they need to get 💜through this darkness and each time we choose love we Are bigger and Brighter and Stronger and become love ,light Insparation and direction ,hope for those who want to become to be part of what we have shared and remind them they are
Beautiful .he knows the song instead of singing it and it ends up becoming soul sounds.something that comes from the heart u can’t sing it but u touch hearts with it
I meant JM six or seven years ago at the White Water Tavern in Little Rock Arkansas. We had a mutual acquaintances RJ Looney . Of Course left with a sign CD, that song always had left that haunting feel. So tonight when i heard the first cord at the end of YELLOWSTONE heard another and knew it was John. So very proud for you !!!!! but i always had that feeling this song was going. Great moment for me Especially since the CD was still in my player !!!! love always
All of Johns songs have that one verse that hits you right between the eyes. His song Cherokee has one that says “ I’ve given up on ever being well.” Lost my wife to a brain tumor in 2012 and I can say I have given up on ever being well.
@@donodom3441 I wished I could tell you it will get easier but I'm not sure it ever does. At best we find things like exercise, alcohol, drugs, and faith to deaden the pain. I hope my friend you find something to help you cope.
Absolutely such a beautiful REAL SONG Dan. Sounds like so much like my life. Lost my kids, home, cars, assets it couldnt get any worse. Lost it all in three months from a divorce from a cheating wife. Wowwee this song hit home for me. And thanks so much for sharing. An have a safe an great day🎼🎵🎶💯💯💯🎸🤙👍
Lost all my stability My ex was a manipulative abusive venomous woman. Who would attack me whilst injured and get our children to come up to me and insult me. Shit I put up with it for years. One day after work my daughter walked up to me scared asked her what was up. " Mommy wants me to say something to you." What is it sweety you won't be in trouble I promise ? " Mom wanted me to say Your a lazy piece of shit and we'd be better off without you." She started crying. Sometimes it's better off to lose something and move on for every ones benefit. Your kids will understand one day she will show then her true colours just be a good person. Chin up m8
Right there with you. Lost everything. Lost my cheating wife to another man. Then that man stole my kids. Luckily my son is older now and sees the truth and we have a good relationship now. My daughter tho......thats a whole other story.
True love is pain sometimes to overcome your fear of self doubt and loneliness in life. When all is lost and gone you can only depend on yourself and God is what I've learned
What.The. F&^%!? "DJ X" on Spotify rotated this gem into my listening and it stopped me in my tracks. Wow is all I can say. I've ordered several vinyl albums of his and can't wait to explore this amazing artist. "I should be dealing with my demons but I'm dodging them instead?"!?!?!?!?! Damn. ❤
My personal interpretation of the meaning of this song that makes it special to me is this: -My Uncle "Vietnam Tom" is a disabled Vietnam combat veteran (A-Troop 4th Squad 12th Calvary Nov. '67-69.
She said she didn't want me waiting on her in case she didn't feel the same way, I said I would no matter what, didn't make a fucking difference she never came around
@@SuperAlexkol I wrote my transcription down on paper and it can be a little ambiguous bc I applied more than one metaphor for certain lyrics & some of them are from the perception of personal experience from family members. I am grateful you are interested & I will reply with my interpretation as soon as I locate the written transcription. It took me quite a while to find the words which Mr. Moreland seemed to express so effortlessly. Thank you for your interest & I will gladly share the meaning of the song soon.

Yellowstone brought me here!
Me too, now I'm a massive fan
Same! Yellowstone also put me onto whiskey Meyers
It did me too
Me too
Same.
I can’t find it in Apple Music
“I should be dealing with my demons but I’m dodging them instead”
Brother, we feel you
I saw him live 2 days ago, & I was so happy he sang this. If you ever get the opportunity to see him live, go, you won't be sorry. I hope he comes back to my area someday
I cry to this song every. Fucking. Time
I don't understand how anyone in the entire audience could be talking. Imagine trying to talk over this pure artistic expression of grief.
He has to be the most underrated, unappreciated greatest all around musical talent the world has ever known. I have wanted to be a writer my entire life, and I can just hope to ever write such beautiful words as this man and then to put it in song with a voice that makes you feel his pain. Just amazing.
I couldn’t agree more. That’s what’ll make him eternal.
He's literally a predecessor to Bob Dylan.
Had no idea who this guy was. I was at a music festival just chilling not expecting anything when this guy walked out on stage. 20 seconds into his first song I wasn't worrying about anything but listening.
there are certain moments in our lives that we realize in god's grace that we have a good soul, and today he will take care of us if we only BELIEVE.
This man probably writes the purest lyrics I’ve ever heard. His word scheme is unmatched
John Denver is onehellof a song writer as well.😉
The man has the voice of a sad angel. God bless and keep doing what you love everyone
He said, "This song is about 'Bummer stuff ' ... (The best bummer stuff I've ever heard)
John Moreland is so pure. Achingly soulful and honest.
It was almost worth losing the love I had just to appreciate this song.
Dude just slaughtered at Railbird in a deeply emotional way. Just turned and walked off stage as he finished. So talented.
Every man that has been in love and that person has broken there trust. 20 years and 6 lovely children it brakes you as a man. Grate song made me cry.
Hate to kick a guy when he's down, but she probably left you because of your terrible spelling, and frankly, I can't blame her.
@@chadw4611 EDGY BRO!
@@chadw4611 duuuuuude! 🤣
@@chadw4611 little bit** a** need to feel superior, it's so cute, chill kiddo hopefully he probably don't care about what you think 😂😂😂
All the Best Mate!!!
Thank you Yellowstone for leading me to this song!!
Absolutely underrated. I put my headphones on and that voice ... dear Lord ..takes me to pain I didn't even know I had. AMAZING
No headphones needed hear,I've lived this pain he sings about😔💔
❤
Beautiful right?
Why is sad music so good
Me too.
Yellowstone brought me here too and I'm so glad for it!!
What an awesome artist!!💜💜💜
Paroles
I swore the days were over
Of courtin empty dreams
I worshipped at the altar of losing everything
And the guard I held together
Was losing all its shape
And in my head you looked so gorgeous
It's keeping me awake
There's a scar on my soul
So let me down easy
Break my heart sweetly
Like you always do
I guess I can't let go
Til you wreck me completely
Break my heart sweetly
Drape me in blue
I was never scared of nothin
Thought I had a home
Life went and broke me open
So I carried it alone
I'm findin all this well-worn sadness
I never knew I kept
And I still chase you into heartache
Every time you take a step.
There's a scar on my soul
So let me down easy
Break my heart sweetly
Like you always do
I guess I can't let go
Til you wreck me completely
Break my heart sweetly
Drape me in blue
I swore the days were over
Of courtin empty dreams
I worshipped at the altar
Of losing everything
But you had a halo made of diamonds
Resting on your head
I should be dealing with my demons
But I'm dodgin' them instead.
There's a scar on my soul
So let me down easy
Break my heart sweetly
Like you always do
I guess I can't let go
Til you wreck me completely
Break my heart sweetly
Drape me in blue
What a soul you have man!
John Moreland is a true poet songwriter. I was lucky enough to see him at Illinois river jam one year. Beautiful music and musician.
I was introduced to John Moreland when he opened up for Lucero in Sioux Falls. He came out on stage all by himself and completely had the crowd mesmerized shortly after he started playing. Watching him on stage all by himself was amazing and I've been a fan since.

Childhood is a mother f/:cker, took me 54 years and losing people I love very much to let go! I had to forgive me!!
Beautiful song! Yellowstone drove me to look this song up.
Always loved having John play in our bar in Norman when I worked there. Every single show was an absolute treat. The only time our regulars shut up was when he was on stage.
Were you a coastie at one time?
15 years cheated from day 1. I went through hell in my own head. Find out who you truly are and hold yourself high.
I'm sorry for what you went through. I hope you find someone who deserves you.
I come back to this song over and over again. It's so beautifully and agonizingly real.
Thank you John. True soul music straight from living a life of all heart.
Just discovered him. Great music.
The best I’ve heard in many years. Yellow Stone introduced me to your music and lyrics. Keep it going!
Me too.love Yellowstone
Yellowstone 👌
YellowStones doing a great job introducing great music. Thank you
I feel this song is about being in love with someone and that person realizing they are not in love with them. The heartbroken person just wants to hear it for themselves. Everytime they see the person they're in love with they're heartbroken knowing the love is not mutual.
Amen, brother.
Life is one day at a time trying to forget about what was and think about what could be.
Mad love my guy. Don't stop being you.
Needed this!! Hard times right now, thanks for helping me thru!!
Good luck and All the Best Bud!!!

This song gutted me

Love your music. Thank you Yellowstone for the great music.
Perfect song for the Jimmy scene.
Hits so hard for me right now.
Love this song! 🥰

God bless this man:)
come back to ketucky, Manchester Music Hall, i guarantee everyone else will want to see you as much as me
Thanks Dude, Thanks Yellowstone!
Amen to you Mr John morlan
Talent in its highest
Omg! 😭💔🖤
My personal interpretation of the meaning of this song that makes it special to me is this:
-My Uncle "Vietnam Tom" is a disabled Vietnam combat veteran (A-Troop 4th Squad 12th Calvary Nov. '67-69.
John Morland became a staple for me right after he put out hang me in the tulsa County stars.
Great song
Great song 😭
feels good to miss someone again,
though
"If u ask me to wait, I'll wait..."
"Wait for me."
❤️⭐
It does, I still love her not with sadness anymore, I do miss here everyday!
She said she didn't want me waiting on her in case she didn't feel the same way, I said I would no matter what, didn't make a fucking difference she never came around
I feel a hopeful man that loves 120 percent of a woman that blew his mind. He would do anything. Love fully. time is short!
Makes me rethink everything from my last relationship
wow
Hop skip and a jump for quarters. Mace and a counter for collection day
Your one screw to love
do it again
I think this song is about a Vietnam veteran. I have translated the lyrics to explain if anyone is interested.
Please do.
