I've been living with a curse Combing through the pages of my youth There's a million soggy miles Soaking through the soles of my shoes And I've been staying up all night I don't give a damn to sleep anymore My eyelids are heavy But my dreams don't sing like before And I apologize a thousand times for holding up the show I always had the words, but they don't quite know where to go You said give me one good reason, now give me 20 more Don't give yourself away to settle someone else's score I got the guiltiest conscience Listening for a savior on a Saturday night I got my ear to the ground You got Easter Sunday in your eyes And I apologize if I seem a little overwhelmed I'm thirsty, but the holy keep on pissing in my well I had a purpose and a song that was true But I ain't ever had a lick of sense when it comes to you So try to be patient, try to understand I'm a child, trying to do the work of a man My pockets are empty, I don't own a thing But I'd take a diamond from the sky and put it in your ring
My cousin Bobby Dean is one of his good friends and tour man... He introduced him to me before even hearing his music... A wonderful energy about him. When I later listened to him, I cried so hard. Music isn't soulful like it used to be... But this... This grabs you by the soul... ❤❤❤❤❤
I have not listened to one of his songs that hasn't profoundly touched my soul.He writes with heart and hurt with emotion about real moments.Not many do that quite like this. I hope to see him play soon.
Chills when I first heard his voice. It was like the boss was reborn with a southern guitar and Waits was waiting in the back room. This is like the first sip of warm bourbon after being dry for a spell.
I started with Tom Waits 2 hours ago and now I'm here. You have some righteous talent my man. Sad I haven't discovered you before now but im happy I have!

What a rare jewel. A diamond from the sky: John Moreland. God bless you and keep you and cause His face to shine on you, and be gracious toward you. Shalom brother.
I could just wonder into the forest, find a spot to sit, and dissipate into nothing listening to this mans music. I had my first spiritual awakening happened when I stumbled across his music. It physically touches my soul
Every since civil wars broke up, I haven’t really cared about music...which is so sad. You made me believe again, you have so much talent. Keep singing and writing. I love it
I feel that by his songs we have been through the similar things in life and damn it hurts bad feeling lied to and abandonded by the religeon she made you go to only to leave you in the end, if thats not what his songs are about then man it feels like he is singing straight to me about my life. Too many tears to count until two in the morning before work and having no motivation to face the day, when you give someone all of you and they leave you end up with nothing left.
John is Such a great singer songwriter. I feel privileged to walk the earth while he does. I even heard he lost a lot of weight I hope that's true. So we can get more n more greats from him. They are priceless
She's Gone Away and I'm still here to stay She's gone away & I still miss her! My Heart has Broken Beyond Words I miss my Wife! I gave her my Broken Heart and She Saved me from myself! The first call I received from her stopped me from pulling the trigger and even though the drugs that we were using split us apart I stopped using almost two years ago and I didn't stop for me I stopped using for us which is no more but I would give my very last breath for her to have one more to this very day Nothing can replace the love of a lifetime and the next breath that they stopped you from taking even if she forsook our vows and is pregnant with some others child I only wish her happiness because for a moment she was mine and will always be my all until my last breath... You should be so lucky as to have known true love and live with the memories of... I miss You more than you could ever know ASHLEY NICOLE THOMAS YOU WILL ALWAYS BE MY FAVORITE WHAT IF!!! 💔 💔 💔 11-21-19 - 01-21-20💔 💔 💔 ASHLEY I WISH WE COULD BE WHAT WE WERE MEANT TO BE... IF YOU ARE WILLING IM ABLE!!! I MISS YOU MORE THAN YOU KNOW!!!
When the TH-cam rabbit hole never lets you down
Exactly
I always end up headed down a rabbit hole on TH-cam 😆
I've found so many of my now favorite artists this way
Yeap
I was recommended this from Ben Caplan’s song, under control. Jump in that rabbit hole 3 year old comment person
Love this guy, highly under recognized. His lyrics are friggen poetry ❤
I've been living with a curse
Combing through the pages of my youth
There's a million soggy miles
Soaking through the soles of my shoes
And I've been staying up all night
I don't give a damn to sleep anymore
My eyelids are heavy
But my dreams don't sing like before
And I apologize a thousand times for holding up the show
I always had the words, but they don't quite know where to go
You said give me one good reason, now give me 20 more
Don't give yourself away to settle someone else's score
I got the guiltiest conscience
Listening for a savior on a Saturday night
I got my ear to the ground
You got Easter Sunday in your eyes
And I apologize if I seem a little overwhelmed
I'm thirsty, but the holy keep on pissing in my well
I had a purpose and a song that was true
But I ain't ever had a lick of sense when it comes to you
So try to be patient, try to understand
I'm a child, trying to do the work of a man
My pockets are empty, I don't own a thing
But I'd take a diamond from the sky and put it in your ring
When you've thought about it...suffered it... and wondered how it was going to go down...John Moreland steps in and says: "This is how you say it"
And when I couldn't find the right thing to say..... I see what you post. Thank you. Perfect.
Outstanding comment Common Good, you nailed it!
Common Good exactly it could not be said any better. John Moreland says everything we couldn’t or didn’t even no how to say.
Common Good beautiful.
Well said. This man is amazing
Good Grief, every song is soooo good, I'm so glad I randomly clicked on one of this dudes videos
Me and you both
Me too
I follow you both
Breathtaking voice, powerfull lyrics and so much heartbreaking... real americana music, so far from mainstream shit polluting radios and TV
Amen
My cousin Bobby Dean is one of his good friends and tour man... He introduced him to me before even hearing his music... A wonderful energy about him. When I later listened to him, I cried so hard. Music isn't soulful like it used to be... But this... This grabs you by the soul... ❤❤❤❤❤
This is pure stuff
yes
so very True.
Whatever womern he's singin about, she's lucky. That Man is badass.
My husband has 5 cousins and John is one of them. He is a man of few words but pours his heart out in his music. He's amazing
I have not listened to one of his songs that hasn't profoundly touched my soul.He writes with heart and hurt with emotion about real moments.Not many do that quite like this. I hope to see him play soon.
"Don't give yourself away to settle someone else's score."
Love that line!
You are one of the few master song writers of our generation. Everything is truthful and from the heart and it is greatly appreciated.
i know I'm kinda off topic but do anybody know of a good website to stream newly released tv shows online?
@Canaan Adriel flixportal :)
@Ben Prince Thank you, I went there and it seems like a nice service :) I really appreciate it !
@Canaan Adriel you are welcome xD

Never have I heard a song, where I could relate to every single word. Beautiful song, amazing artist.
Yes he is ...... can't wait to thank him personally some day
I listened to his songs for over 3,300 minutes last year. I don’t regret a minute. A mix he is a big part of my night and work playlist.
The best. I've explored every artist that exists in this genre for ten years and you, Sir are the absolute best there is.
agreed.
just stumbled across John 10 minutes ago, and my only regret is i didn't hear about him sooner!
This man is by far one of the greatest you will ever hear
'never had a lick of sense when it comes to you'
Amazing voice, beautiful songwriting.
Goddammit this guy owes me a bucket of salt water
What an excellent way to say what you've said.
Real men don't cry. We " water our beards".
Good one bro
Well I've been living with a curse
Combing through the pages of my youth
There’s a million soggy miles
Soaking through the soles of my shoes
And I’ve been staying up all night
I don’t give a damn to sleep anymore
My eyelids are heavy
But my dreams don’t sing like before
And I apologize a thousand times for holding up the show
I always had the words, but they don’t quite know where to go
You said give me one good reason, now give me 20 more
Don’t give yourself away to settle someone else’s score
I got the guiltiest conscience
Listening for a savior on a Saturday night
I got my ear to the ground
You got Easter Sunday in your eyes
And I apologize if I seem a little overwhelmed
I’m thirsty, but the holy keep on pissing in my well
I had a purpose and a song that was true
But I ain’t ever had a lick of sense when it comes to you
So try to be patient, try to understand
I’m a child, trying to do the work of a man
My pockets are empty, I don’t own a thing
But I’d take a diamond from the sky and put it in your ring see less
thank you.
{...} I’m thirsty, but the holy keep on pissing in my well {...}..........can someone explain what they understand by this...phrase of the song..?
@@Tripl3333 In my opinion he's referring to seeking out guidance from religious folk but they keep looking down on him instead
@@calebbrown7896 .........yup,sounds reasonable...thanks.
John Moreland is a 21st Century poet.
this guy can write music man
Might be one of the best lyrical songs I have ever heard
I am easily, completely, captivated in his voice. I can feel each word ❤️

Nashville is a popularity contest driven by$-chasing investors- reality don't pay so goodf.
I could just wonder into the forest, find a spot to sit, and dissipate into nothing listening to this mans music. I had my first spiritual awakening happened when I stumbled across his music. It physically touches my soul

There is something magic about John Moreland.
Damn !!!! Pure Class 🏆
John has such a richful soul
She's Gone Away and I'm still here to stay She's gone away &
I still miss her! My Heart has Broken Beyond Words I miss my Wife! I gave her my Broken Heart and She Saved me from myself! The first call I received from her stopped me from pulling the trigger and even though the drugs that we were using split us apart I stopped using almost two years ago and I didn't stop for me I stopped using for us which is no more but I would give my very last breath for her to have one more to this very day
Nothing can replace the love of a lifetime and the next breath that they stopped you from taking even if she forsook our vows and is pregnant with some others child
I only wish her happiness because for a moment she was mine and will always be my all until my last breath... You should be so lucky as to have known true love and live with the memories of... I miss You more than you could ever know
