      I know I'm 4 years late - but I'd like to say thank you to you. I'm back watching this again today because I had a very personal family event yesterday - and there was a magnolia tree in full bloom at the site. Jason gave me a lot of comfort in my sad old days and will always be with me. These are some of my favourite recordings.

    I am Jason's uncle, haven't seen him since his mother passed away Feb.15th 2003, about the time all his medical, and alcohol problems started. I had never heard any of Jason's music before his death, (i'm ashamed to say) but if I had I could have told that he was a trouble soul, just from the sad haunting word & music in all of his songs. I live in West Virginia and Jason was traveling all over the world, so we didn't see him but if I had I could have told that he needed help, whr was evreone.

      @@Cody6918totally arbitrary and a year late but I think this song is about the album itself. Magnolia electric company his masterpiece, I think he knew it when he was writing it and If I remember reading correctly, he enjoyed the recording process as well. He was bringing in other artists to record. Also, this is around the time the problem started as Raymond says. Maybe I’m grasping at straws, but I believe he felt himself slipping and he knew this album might be the beginning of the end.

    For anybody's info Jasons mother was my sister, the only three people to love Jason was his Mom, me and my wife and probably a few of his friends. Your right I haven't seen or spoke to Jason since my sister died. What he told me and my wife then that he was on the family s@#$ list, just like me and my son and wife, If I had known that Jason was in town less than a mile from me I would surely talked to him because I loved Jason he was the only person in my family that cared for me.

    Discovered his music at the last album of Songs: Ohia. At first didn't like much the Magnolia Electric Co. Yet I took a plane to go see them live in Barcelona and along with girl I had met at the concert, we kept asking him in between songs to play The Lioness. I feel so stupid to not just have shut up and enjoyed what he gave us.

    I was fortunate enough to be at this show Thanks to the folks at ACME for making it happen. Jason Molina's songs speak to my heart in a way that is singular and special. When I heard he had died, I felt like a friend had passed away. It still hurts when I listen to his songs knowing that he's gone. I went to Chicago years later and stopped by Hot Doug's and had a hot dog in memory of Jason. They do cater to the veggies! Rest in peace, Jason, and thank you for your hard work, songs, and soul,

    My daughter's name is Magnolia. I've been a Molina fan since probably 2000 or 2001, over twenty years for sure. The first song I ever heard him on was a Songs:Ohia song. He's definitely one of my favorite songwriters. And we came up with Magnolia's name while floating down the river in tubes in Florida... The thought of Magnolia Electric Co. didnt even cross my mind. I've heard so many things with the word Magnolia, but never have met another Magnolia other than my daughter. My dad is 61 and he's never known a Magnolia.

    Hold on Magnolia
    To that great highway moon
    No one has to be that strong
    But if you're stubborn like me
    I know what you're trying to be
    Hold on Magnolia
    I know what a true friend you've been
    In my life I have had my doubts
    But tonight I think I've worked it out with all of them
    Hold on Magnolia
    I hear that station bell ring
    You might be holding the last light I see
    Before the dark finally gets a hold of me
    Hold on Magnolia
    To the thunder and the rain
    And to the lightning that has just signed my name
    To the bottom line
    Hold on Magnolia
    I hear that lonesome whistle whine
    Hold on Magnolia
    I think it's almost time
    Hold on Magnolia
    I think it's almost time
    It's almost time

    Man, this record got me through some hard times. Jason’s music often felt like one of the closest approximations of what I was going through during those early 2000s. It can be difficult, from a human perspective, to square that the music that I love so much came from the same deep down places that fueled the behavior that killed him. It rarely fails to bring me to a complete halt, and often to tears.
    His career was just consistently excellent, no duds, no “hits”, so it’s apropos that the title of this album, midway through his career, would be the name of his next band. This record was his masterpiece and the closer is a bring the house down crescendo. “You might be the last light I see, before the dark finally gets a hold of me” is a line that still gives me chills every time. I almost never listen to this song only once in a row.
    Thank you for posting these videos, maybe someday he’ll get the recognition he deserves, a la TVZ.

    I don't think there's a more beautiful version of this song. So easy and simple and emotive. Thank you for keeping it on here for more people to discover. I find myself coming back to hear it over and over.

    For some reason, knowing Hot Doug's closed only a year after his passing adds to the tragedy...
