American country music is rooted in Ireland and Scotland. My family is English/Scots-Irish and from appalachia. When they migrated here they brought the music and storytelling with them, bluegrass is a perfect example of this. Many families remained in appalachia, I still have family there, but many migrated west when the government offered "free land" to encourage Americans to settle the west. Oklahoma was one of the first territories to offer the land, so many poor families migrated to settle what was then still hostile land. It was a long, hard fought battle with plains indians. Just think about the courage that it took to uproot their families into the unknown for a better life, not once, but twice. Once from their homes in Irleand and Scotland, then again into a territory that was known to be hostile towards the English. It takes a special kind of people to make those sacrifices, right or wrong. The only thing they had to remind them of the homes they left behind was their music and stories, and we can still hear it today. In my opinion its one of the things that makes America a special place, or it used to anyway. So many different people bringing pieces of their culture with them and making it uniquely American. Music has always bridged the gap, from the Scots-Irish mountain music, to American blues with its sound changing from region to region. Its all soul music and tells beautiful stories of pain and perseverance if one is willing to listen. Sincerly, A brother from West Virginia

I never thought of it in that way but I get it! Indifference is worse then hate ,isn't it though. Especially when its so bad that being ignored hurts so bad that youd settle for hate just to make it stop. I've been there. Its nowhere I ever wanna be again.

You can see some of the men in the crowd deeply relating to this song. Some people would have you think all men are indifferent and jaded. Truth is most of spend all our lives wishing someone would be that strong shoulder for us to lean on when we're down on ourselves. It's not entirely evident to me that men are volatile dangerous creatures. We can be hurt too. Resilience and invincibility are two different things.

Back from two tours overseas in the marines, through ptsd and a marriage that I destroyed because I chose alcohol and drugs instead of therapy, no hope in sight. The darkness finally broke after I went to in patient and intensive outpatient therapy for the better part of a year. Now I’m two years sober, in the first healthy relationship of my life, re learning the guitar and Jiu Jitsu. To anyone reading this who is gripped by trauma or addiction, it’s never over as long as there is breath in your lungs. I overdosed multiple times and was revived with Narcan.

If you thumbed this down, you never felt real love in your life. This song is the actual sound of a heart breaking.

"You lost the mind to even do me wrong"...... that line right there is very deep and I didn't even pick up on it the first probably 10 times that I heard this song. That is one empty feeling in having someone that means so much to you not have any emotion for you good or bad.

It is indifferent. It is apathetic. It’s being lost on a road at a point with no landmarks, you can’t go back alone because no matter how far backwards you traveled, you’d never again be in the place you were when things were right. It’s feeling like you don’t have the strength to continue forward. Everyone has pain inside of them. When I listen to this man’s beautiful lyrics, I feel like I’m inside of pain.

I'm a 43 year old man. When I heard this the first time, I hit my knees and bawled like a baby. When you realize what this song means, it hits you like a million lightning bolts. The love of my life and I are still together but yet I miss her. I'm so lonely. I constantly hurt her in ways it feels I have no control of. All I want to do is make her smile and laugh. She's my everything. It kills me I can't or it feels like I can't give her happiness anymore. Yet she won't leave my side. I just need to know she still loves me. I'm a good hearted man. Faithful, loyal, work hard, but I have demons. Everyone does. They always say if you love someone, set them free. If they come back, it's meant to be. I'd rather die or hurt for the rest of my life so she won't hurt anymore in any way. Damn, this song knows my heart. If anyone else is in my situation, I don't care what others say. Go with your heart. If you care more for your loves happiness, set them free. Love hurts but it also is pure bliss. But the what ifs are the hardest part. What if next week things get back the way they used to be and you're both are on top of the world again? Trust me, I know how you're feeling.

That's where I am right now and have been for years now. It's not my Demons, but hers. She keeps Herself on track in life until I'm with Her. Then She slides back down into the depths and before long I am a Stranger to Her. For 16 years I've been waiting for Her. My Love for Her is all I had to hold on to. 3rd time we got together to make a life as a couple. And again She slipped backwards over the course of last year. The way She treated me, the nasty mean things she said and texted me, and then "Ghosted" me. Devestated me. Why She felt it necessary to do that to me for Her to break up with me, I have no idea...I've always told her to be honest with me. And I her. Tell me she's done and I'll go. I've never done or said anything to warrant treatment like that. Eventually, She lost everything she had. Then She called me and wanted to try again. She acted like She didn't do anything wrong and didn't remember saying anything bad to me...I should just get over it and put it behind me... I still Love Her n care about her, but I'm not like before. She Hurt me deeply. I feel I should just give up and let her go. I have nothing she wants or needs. Her last words before she blew me off last August: "You can't be the Man I need to to get the things I want in life. I don't want to see or hear from you again." She had her eye on someone else and it fell thru...but she won't admit it. That's what I feel about her actions. I'm 58 yrs old and I'm too old to keep trying over n over n over again. I guess I'm meant to be alone in this life. So be it.

Greatest songwriter of our time. He writes with a profound truth and a heart of a lion.

Thank you John for singing this song. I have been in a dark place in my life and ur music has brought me back man thank u. You saved my life....

Me too. If it wasn't for songs like this, I wouldn't be here anymore.

This guy has it all, lyrics, emotion, and talent. So glad Colbert featured him this week. I would have missed him.

The way you can grasp the true emotions that nobody really wants to speak about. It’s honestly immaculate. The heartache and emotions you can make somebody go through just from listening to your songs. That’s something artists spend decades trying to capture. You do it in every single song you’ve ever released

God damn it I love this song and artist. Never met this man, but his songs have been with me threw the darkest times. Feels like he's an old friend. Would drink a brew with him any day of the week. Give this man a Grammy pls.

Listen to this multiple times almost daily. Wishing I had someone that cared enough. Yet no matter how hard I try, I can't find that person. My ex sure didn't care enough when she hurt me with her lies. Oh well, that's life, I guess.

Don’t wait for someone to care for you, that’s where we all go wrong. Learn to care for yourself so that you don’t have to look for it. Instead let that someone find you by treating yourself well and putting your sanity first. Cheers

Absolutely beautiful voice. Makes me cry everytime I hear it. Wish I could meet this amazing man in person.

I'm a Alabama backwoods country boy, raised on hank Jr bocephus and this guy is up there with the stars....world needs more music like this

Dude. John. Keep doing what you're doing. Truth and beauty from your pain. Songs like this will live on. Performances like this will live on. I for one can't stop listening to this... I know for sure it'll be with me for the rest of my life. Thank you for this song.

@John Moreland: I have been writing songs for more than 5 decades, some of them were very successful. I wish I had written any one of yours!

A song where listener and artist can rejoice in each others sharing of pain. Heartbreakingly beautiful. This song means so much to me, as I'm sure it does countless others. Thank you John, for sharing, and being who you are.

I lost count how many time I drove home crying with this song

"Okay, I'll sit here shall I? Yeah, I've just got this little guitar. What? No, no band. It's just me. What I'll do is sit here and pick my guitar and sing you an incredibly moving song with brilliant lyrics and make everyone cry yet feel joyful at the same time. All right?"

I just love how all these tough guys are trying their best to hold back their tears. Shows how expressive the man sings

I'm a so called "metal head".. But this song is on my daily rotation. Love this song & Love you John for mkaing it1

Why did I have to listen to this half drunk on a Friday for? Amazing

One of the most touching songs I’ve listened too. Beautiful

I love the honesty and humility in John’s voice. It’s rare these days to hear something that is deep lyrically, rich musically and resonates with the soul. A timeless gift that will be forever appreciated both now and for generations to come. I only wish more people stood still enough to stop and listen to John so that they didn’t need to feel so alone. Thanks John for keeping it real and non pretentious.

mr john moreland starts to sing and my heart just clenches and waits for a punch. god, what a musician

Anyone else who have cried like a little girl in the crowd if you were there?.....if there was ever a performance I wish I could have seen live it would be this one.....lucky people in this video.....he poured his heart out

Its not often im fully in the moment, but this video, this song, it made me cry

When something falls off the shelf inside a woman it is unfixable.She will never look at a man the same.He will never feel her sun shine on his face

This shit is magical. Like what kind of wizardry shit is going on here? John can tell a story, and literally make you feel it too. Amazing.

"I'd beg steal and borrow, I'm so damn good at sorrow" ouch I felt that

This song helped me get thru a tough time in my life..

I love that he’s wearing a DeKalb hat. (815) ❤️

Wow why is he not famous .i am from Oklahoma and I have never heard him before this so good new fan of all his songs now.

Oh man. If I could bring back some long gone friends,set a bottle of whiskey on the table and put on some John Moreland...

This song tears me up every time. So well written. Cuts deep.

When your pain writes a song through which every line bleeds a brutal honesty. As real as it gets. Thank you for the tears.

John Moreland you are perfect the way you are man and never forget that. And also thank you for your beautiful soul and music it has given me the strength to keep on keeping on. So at least now you know that you have at least gotten one person threw a hard time and I know there are way more but the most important thing is are you getting by? I hope so man anyway I don’t expect a very busy man to read this or anything but I just wanted to put it out there so if you did then I hope I put a smile on your face as you have for me.

I'm searching for a word for this...cant find 1 to define this masterpiece.

I love seeing an audience completely enthralled in silent contemplation. Really is a sight to behold.

She may not have cried for you, but we all have. Beautiful. I hope you can get healthy so I can selfishly enjoy your music for many more decades, you're an artist John Moreland.

john moreland...never heard of you...now i shall never forget you...amen to your heartfelt songs...your a force of nature..thx

Yknow what I find amazing. We're all listening to the same song, but everyone is feeling something completely different. We all have our trauma, we all have our demons, and this song really is the words a lot of us need

It can't not get you

I don't know how I got here but this is the kind of country music that appeals to me the most for some reason. That somber and slow music alongside those sad lyrics. And as a guitarist I wish I could fingerpick like this man does. Good song, very good song 😥

Crazy thing is, John Moreland has a very unique style when it comes to fingerpicking. More often then not, he only uses his thumb and his pointer finger.

@@Christian-my4dp I've noticed that! He only use his thumb for the ryhthym and pick the melody with his pointer finger as you mentioned. I guess that is a skill that few guitarplayers can master :) To play the guitar in two different ways AND be able to sing at the same time! This is the type of music that makes me want to learn how to play chords in the right way so-to-say...

"im the kind of love thats hard to look at".....broke my fuckin heart. Luv ya big dawg

man...this song. Imma hardcore alcoholic, with a good woman and a good family. I hope some day they play this for me. it just doesn't get any better than this. God bless all of you out there who are struggling. i see you

Your family deserves the best version of you, if you can't do it for yourself do it for them 💪

If a broken heart had sound, this is all it. Everything about this song touches every emotion. That guitar and voice though, wow! 😢

Been listening for a few years and never commented, a few whiskies under me belt, again from Australia beautiful voice mate, live ya work, God bless

This is a song for anyone who ever feels like no one loves them. Hang in there, there's people who do care

"i could've left you, you know. Hell i probably should've by now. The problem is i can't. i don't wanna. How could i when i'm looking in the eyes of all i've ever wanted?" most people forgot what it means to have a heart, don't let yourselves be another one for that count.

soul-touching deep words and you can feel the pain in his singing. this man is a true artist

Wow what an awesome song!!! Thanks for the recommendation KZread

Mate even in 2024, this is so relatable. Hits you in the heart, from UK, just so so you know how far your reach is. Love you man

That travis picking style is a bugger to play without sounding forced and he is the master. And what a song. Cuts deep with anyone who's been dumped for a better prospect.

my life is ever more enriched since finding your voice. thank you.

Just found this beautiful song. I think anyone who's been through this understands. Sad, beautiful song.

I sang this to myself for my sons. Being a father wasn't easy and I tried my best, but evidently it wasn't good enough.

From metal to classical....from country to pop.....music is music...some just sounds better...thank you for this song my man

No words to describe the brilliance
