      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.

    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.
