Not for me To understand remember him when he was still a proud man, Vandal smile and baseball in his right hand and nothing but the blue sky in his eyes. This lyric guts me every time. It’s an amazing description of men in their youth and what they can become. Just incredible.
Same. That last part of the line, after hearing what happened to the friend, it's so despairing, because it illustrates the lost promise of that guy. Guts me too!
One of the most impactful albums to breach my ears in a long time. Found this album at the perfect time in my life. This song in particular really spoke to what I was going through.
Interesting when we find something (or it finds us, maybe that's more apt) at the most opportune moment. Often it makes me wonder, sometimes things seem a little too perfect.
These words poured out of him to find their way to my soul. The universe is presenting so many gifts for my inner peace and healing these days, I'm blown away each time it shows up
Relatively Easy Lyrics: Are you having a long day Everyone you meet rubs you the wrong way Dirty city streets smell like an ashtray Morning bells are ringing in your ear Is your brother on a church kick Seems like just a different kind of dope sick Better off to teach a dog a card trick And try to have a point and make it clear You should know compared To people on a global scale Our kind has had it relatively easy And here with you there's always Something to look forward to Our angry heart beats relatively easy I lost a good friend Christmas time when folks go off the deep end His woman took the kids and he took Klonopin Enough to kill a man of twice his size Not for me to understand Remember him when he was still a proud man A vandals smile a baseball in his right hand Nothing but the blue sky in his eye Still compared to those A stones throw away from you Our lives have both been relatively easy Take the(a) year and make a break There ain't that much at stake The answers could be relatively easy Watch that lucky man walk to work again He may not have a friend left in the world See him walking home again to sleep alone Or step into a shop to buy a postcard for a girl I broke the law boys Shooting out the windows of my loft boys When they picked me up I made a big noise Everything to blame except my mind And I should say I keep your picture with me everyday The evenings now are relatively easy Here with you there's always Something to look forward to My lonely heart beats relatively easy My lonely heart beats relatively easy
Is your brother on a church kick.Seems just like a different kind of dope sick, better off to teach a dog a card trick..... then have a point and make it clear. gravity in that line.....
Thank you for all these beautiful songs, Jason! You've been a real source of inspiration for my new song "Walden" (ruclips.net/video/MyEwamjqOuI/видео.html), and for the upcoming album... Hope to see you again in Belgium!

This is the first time l realized that "remember him when he was still a proud man" is an imperative. Wow.

I was going through a divorce and getting sober in 2014-15 and this album carried me through some dark days
A southern slice of our everyday respectable observance of humanity - honoring love, pain forgiveness and devotion.
This song sounds so uplifting at the end of Southeastern, like the sun rising as it still covers some heavy themes. Still very positive.
Amen, brother…👍🏴🎸🇺🇸

This has quickly become my all-time favorite song. The lyrics speak to me in more ways than I can say.
That's how I feel! Jason is so sensitive and nuanced and this song is so full of love. Makes me cry every time.
it's been a very long time since I loved an album as much !!! bravo !!
Every album he puts out has been absolutely killer. Just another level of writing altogether
Hard to believe a performance this great has had so few views.
mark alan G. There's no accounting for taste, or in this case lack thereof.

Lyrics:
Are you having a long day
Everyone you meet rubs you the wrong way
Dirty city streets smell like an ashtray
Morning bells are ringing in your ear
Is your brother on a church kick
Seems like just a different kind of dope sick
Better off to teach a dog a card trick
And try to have a point and make it clear
You should know compared
To people on a global scale
Our kind has had it relatively easy
And here with you there's always
Something to look forward to
Our angry heart beats relatively easy
I lost a good friend
Christmas time when folks go off the deep end
His woman took the kids and he took Klonopin
Enough to kill a man of twice his size
Not for me to understand
Remember him when he was still a proud man
A vandals smile a baseball in his right hand
Nothing but the blue sky in his eye
Still compared to those
A stones throw away from you
Our lives have both been relatively easy
Take the(a) year and make a break
There ain't that much at stake
The answers could be relatively easy
Watch that lucky man walk to work again
He may not have a friend left in the world
See him walking home again to sleep alone
Or step into a shop to buy a postcard for a girl
I broke the law boys
Shooting out the windows of my loft boys
When they picked me up I made a big noise
Everything to blame except my mind
And I should say I keep your picture with me everyday
The evenings now are relatively easy
Here with you there's always
Something to look forward to
My lonely heart beats relatively easy
My lonely heart beats relatively easy
"Is your brother on a church kick?"
Christopher Barrett Seems like just a different kind of dope sick...
To bad I'm not.....
Adam Randall Better off to teach a dog a card trick...
