    chris stapleton brought me to sturgill simpson, which took me to tyler childers, which took me to colter wall, which has now taken me to arlo mckinley. What a life.

      "I remember when you told me,
      When I believed I'd never be lonely,
      I think you were lying..."
      *This is the next part of the lines you posted that really cannot be separated from each other and are what I am referring to.*
      I'm a poet myself and I have been replaying these exact lines over and over and over again all night and all day today. I am absolutely in awe of the ability of a songwriter to be able to capture everything I have ever felt in just a few lines. I have written many hundreds of lines of poetry and many dozens of poem without ever being able to so simply and profoundly express this exact feeling that I feel. I have literally been showing this song with the emphasis on this line to everyone I possibly can. I am in tears even now, hearing it for the hundredth time.

    Lyrics:
    You want it
    I can feel it
    Got a bag of pills
    I've been dealing
    So I can take you drinking
    Don't tell me
    about a love thing
    We'll get high
    and talk until morning
    And you can catch me sleeping
    [(Chorus/1x): AND ALL I NEED NOW I don't want
    AND ALL I LOVE NOW it's all gone...to my head]
    Hail Jesus
    can you save me
    Didn't think so guess that you're busy-
    I guess we're all busy
    I remember
    when you told me
    If I believed
    I'd never be lonely
    I think you were lying
    [(Chorus/1x): AND ALL I NEED NOW I don't want
    AND ALL I LOVE NOW it's all gone...to my head]
    (Repeat/2x):
    LOVE I don't want it
    it's so easy
    to die
    &
    LOVE I don't want it
    it's so easy
    to die

    Years ago I stumbled upon Benjamin Todd; then that path led me to Matt Heckler and only naturally Tyler Childers. Sure, forks in the road are to be expected. But when one sign points toward mumble rap and the other to something that can only be crafted by a conscious mind, well that's when you find priceless treasures such as this.

      Ben Tolleson - Thanks for the encouragement brother. It's a slippery slope I'm on right now...lost my Dad recently, who was the only one who believed in me. The rest have written me off I think. My girlfriend is on the verge of cutting out. I realize how selfish it is and how it affects everyone else now, which I didn't before...but it's so easy to use to forget all the stuff weighing on me, if only for a little while. Then, regret over the money I blew to run from my problems which always puts me in another tight spot. You know how it is...a vicious cycle. I am a religious man though, however, I feel it would be wrong to pray for help when I know I'm not ready to stop. I think that would only be worse. Crap, gotta go bro..my eyes are starting to tear up. Appreciate the prayers though. Quitting again has been heavy on my mind lately. Thanks

    Just saw Arlo and his band at The Ark, in Ann Arbor, Michigan, last night. I was only introduced to Arlo McKinley by playing samples of his songs, while viewing the show schedule at The Ark. Then I listened to more of his songs on You Tube. I decided to purchase two tickets to the wonderful venue that The Ark is, and hoping my wife would agree to go with me as she is skeptical of seeing bands she's unfamilar with. (She is also legally blind with a bad back and doesn't feel comfortable out after dark). Anyway, Arlo started the show with a few solo acoustical songs, which were quite amazing. Then he added his band, one member at a time, until he had the whole group onstage. That's when I realized that we were seeing a great performance, one of our most memorable in a while. A terrific songwriter, singer, and humorous musician with a wonderful backup band. I wouldn't hesitate to see him again if he performs somewhere near us in the future. Loved the show.
