You're a sweetheart but this you know as it takes a beautiful mind to notice such a treasure. You truly appreciate him. Truth has a way of finding you when you need it most.
I close my eyes and I hear a young Bruce Springsteen. When I open my heart and really listen to you John, I realize Bruce Springsteen ain't got nothing on you my brother. God Bless you my brother.
An old friend of mine posted this song on Facebook 73 days before he hung himself. I wish I could go back in time to the good times we had. I wish I knew the extent he was suffering, I wish I could have helped him more. He always seemed so cheerful and had a guitar in his hand and loved to sing. I miss those times,so much and I just want him to know he brought so much joy to so many people and I wish he was still here and could feel the joy he brought to others. Kevin, I'm so sorry . I felt that I could of done more and I know I know the struggle of reaching a trouble mind, it's hard but I wish I had more time to reach out to you.
Don't beat yourself up over his choice to off himself. You can't control another's decisions. My brother did the same thing with a gun. I did all I could, nothing would have stopped it.
First I've ever heard this guy! I'll count this as a hell of a good day and remember it well! I remember the first time I heard Guy Clark do "let him roll", and that day when I ran across Kristofferson play in' "Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down", and that night I heard John Prine sing about Sam Stone and some Angel from Montgomery. Damn, if I don't feel pretty much the same way right now, as I did then. God bless 'em, but it doesn't ever get old when you hear an artist get up there and cut themselves wide open and just let their truth just bleed out in the rawest of ways! I may have gotten to the John Moreland party late, but I'm gonna stay till they throw my ass out!
That's how I felt about John Moreland, John Prine, Jason Isbell and Mandolin Orange. Such treasures. The latter 3 I was immensely fortunate to see live on a festival. But it is my dream to see John Moreland live aswell.
There is always one line that catches me in each of John's songs. "It's times like these I forget why I quit loving you." So packed, so powerful. Thanks, John.
John my man you are an awesome singer song writer and I’m so glad I came across your music. Your real brother and I love the way you tell a story . Brother it takes s person that’s walked in your shoes. John I feel you music and tears ran a few times. I hope god keeps you healthy and blesses you.
1400 people now know whom Johnnie Moreland is in Springfield Illinois courtesy of the Levitt Amp Music series in Downtown Springfield Illinois ,Mr Moreland put on quite a show with a setting sun and our cities downtown and our Governors Home as the backdrop,the big guy let it rip in his humble way,thank you great show and come back soon,The BackRoom Lounge in Riverton,Illinois would be perfect
Kind of ironic that people are complaining about the sound of the door opening and missing that this happening is exactly what the song talks about, LIFE HAPPENS. "And I recall when I thought I had a plan The sun and moon and stars seemed to slip right through my hands But remember that failure is part of being alive" It's just how we deal with the failures of life is what it is all about. God bless you all.
I guess by now I'm supposed to be a man They said I'd find some kind of freedom When I forgot what I said My grandmother still gives me Ten bucks on my birthday And she told me that sleep was God's medicine And you're gonna die someday So life, take all your terror Surrender to the truth It's times like these, I forget why I quit loving you I recall when I thought I had a plan The sun, the moon, and stars Seem to flip right through my hands But remember that failure Is part of being alive I guess I let it take away my pride One many times And I know you gonna leave me And here's nothing I can do But times like these, I forget why I quit loving you So life take all your terror Surrender to the truth It's times like these I forget why I quit loving you And I don't know what I'm doing Hell I don't have a clue But times like these, I forget why I quit loving you I forget why I quit
My Grandmother used to give me 10 bucks on my birthday. When I was a younger guy, as in a child. I liked the extra cash, but I enjoyed so much more that she loved me. I never knew at that time why I loved her, and now I can't tell her, because she has dementia. But.... she knows.... Thanks for writing a song that can be traced back to humans, and not computers. God Bless.
John your words put things into focus for me you are a great writer and singer I am a lot older then you but sounds like we have chewed the same dirt I listen to you everyday keep it up thanks for the music
John, you truly are an Oklahoma treasure. Thanks for existing during my lifetime. You rule.

John Moreland can sing the phonebook and he'll still make me tear up. What a genius songwriter and performer!

There is not one John Moreland song I don't like.I can't say that about most musicians.🔥🙏

@@martinparidon9056I'd add Cody jinks and whiskey Myers to that list
@@martinparidon9056 I saw him in Oct of 2019. Never seen better.
I only feel that way for Elliott Smith, Moreland, some Isbell, some Oberst, Hank Sr., Billie Holiday.
for every John Moreland song I check off my "to listen" list, another pops up immediately
The most heartfelt artist and songwriter to come along in a while. Truly pours his soul into his music!
Amazingly beautiful.
This man sings straight into my heart.
There is always one line that catches me in each of John's songs. "It's times like these I forget why I quit loving you." So packed, so powerful. Thanks, John.
I wish he would come out to Northern California I've been listening to him for three years and still love his music

Like someone interrupted a prayer really.
Big John looked like he wanted to use the guitar for batting practice momentarily.
The Moreland death stare.😁
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD MOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!! I'M BUSYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Discovered today, wow.
Yesterday for me and I cant quit listening
Kind of ironic that people are complaining about the sound of the door opening and missing that this happening is exactly what the song talks about, LIFE HAPPENS.
"And I recall when I thought I had a plan
The sun and moon and stars seemed to slip right through my hands
But remember that failure is part of being alive"
It's just how we deal with the failures of life is what it is all about. God bless you all.
I guess by now I'm supposed to be a man
They said I'd find some kind of freedom
When I forgot what I said
My grandmother still gives me
Ten bucks on my birthday
And she told me that sleep was God's medicine
And you're gonna die someday
So life, take all your terror
Surrender to the truth
It's times like these, I forget why I quit loving you
I recall when I thought I had a plan
The sun, the moon, and stars
Seem to flip right through my hands
But remember that failure
Is part of being alive
I guess I let it take away my pride
One many times
And I know you gonna leave me
And here's nothing I can do
But times like these, I forget why I quit loving you
So life take all your terror
Surrender to the truth
It's times like these I forget why I quit loving you
And I don't know what I'm doing
Hell I don't have a clue
But times like these, I forget why I quit loving you
I forget why I quit
Thanks
Beautiful I'm speechless.
