18 years of hard booze and cocaine I took my 30 days yeaterday still alot of work to do but if anyone's reading this and is hurting reach out to anyone you have left and ask for help or go to some meetings there's people out there who understand you and who will help selflessly ❤
I'm suffering in silence tonight laying on this couch. Those little white pills have had me for 10 or more years. It's been 24 hrs since my last ones. And I can bearly have the will to get up. I don't know how much longer I can take this. But I'm sick of planning my days on the number of pills I have. I really hope this is the last time I quit. But can't picture my life with out that bottle of pills.
@@fd3144 hey, man. stop white knuckling it and contact someone. Even if its just me as a stranger on the internet. talk it out and work through it with someone.
@@fd3144 what are you trying to get off?? Been clean from speed for 12yrs... Oxy for just short of a year but I can't get away from the Xanax and it's literally cost me everything
Im 7 yrs clean now. This song describes exactly what active addiction is like. I was medicating all the trauma, and anxiety. I chose to heal the wrong way. Thank God Im clean
Someone in the comments said this is "hauntingly beautiful" and I think that perfectly describes it. No matter what you've been through, you can still choose to keep fightin'
It wasn't/isn't a choice. Didn't wanna say or do shit. I lit a cigarette and a world of trouble in the mind pushed the clutch in with a bullfrog in my throat after getting this album, Arlo said with no negotiating, tears are comin. I shifted into 5th and put it on cruise and got in the right lane while I tried to remember the last time I'd cried or the last time I'd heard such a masterpiece. This song and this version right here makes me want to take a dirt nap but be glad I've got up everyday just the same and that's difficult
Man I fucked up on May 14th. I overdosed on some pills (accidentally) I snorted a little too much oxy and it stopped my heart. Long story short, I woke up a week later in the MICU on life support. Your song has made this grown man cry dude. Thank you sir, for your words.
Wow well said something similar to that just happened to me last month I'm 31 days here today sobar and alive god is good glad you still here my friend no don't give up cuz your journey does not end here yesterday is gone tomorrow's not here so let's just live for today and not worry about tomorrow...
I hope you're well today, friend. My best friend overdosed a few years ago when I was living 3,000 miles away on the west coast. Cheers to you for sharing.
As a driving instructor and parent, please be safe hon, and dont let a bottle full of oblivion overshadow this beautiful life we get one chance to live ... Happy trails!
If you struggle with depression and have a tough time telling others, don't be afraid to reach out and ask us how we been. Trust me, your loved ones need to hear your voice and know you're good, shit... Even I would love to know. How are you?
if i’m being honest, i really ain’t doing good right now. A girl who i’m in love with who i’ve known my whole life had to move away. Her parents are divorced and she was having issues with her mom’s boyfriend so she moved to her dad’s which is really far away. It happened four months ago and I feel like I haven’t been able to to be happy ever since. I’m sorry for telling my life story lol but I really needed to talk to someone about it. I really appreciated that you wanted to know how a random person like me was doing
Anxiety and depression is ruling my life just now,, hard to shake off,, so I Bury my head and try to dream of better days when I can see my kids again,, all i pray for is for them to look up to me one day 💚💚💚💚
I am somewhere between hell and doing fine. I get up everyday, and just make my way. Glad to hear from you Cody! How are u?? I hope the sun is shining for u today! Thank u for ur presence 😊!!
Anyone that writes a song like that has to have hurt pretty damn bad and been in a deep place. I know I'm there now. My girlfriend of 18years died, 10 days later my best friend died then 2 weeks later my mom died 💔 😢 all unexpected. It sucks bad. I'll pray for you Arlo I feel your pain. Thanks for the song🎵
For what words from a random stranger on the internet are worth, I'm so sorry. Nobody deserves to go through such horrific loss and pain like that. I hope you can eventually fight your way through that horrible pain. Keep fighting partner
Chuck Smith wow brother hate to hear of such losses my heart and soul goes out to ya. I've lost both parents a brother who was my best friend and lost best friends and now a girlfriend but not all close together as you have but I feel for ya my friend. May all their memories and laughs that you shared with them give you the strength and peace you need to get thru each day. My thoughts and prayers to you and family. God Bless & God speed.✌💪
Damn this hits hard. I live this. Every day, I still boot up, slap a smile on my face and keep other laughing. I can't stand to see others hurting but I cant stop myself. Blessings to my therapist s and my docs for listening.
I did the therapy, doctors, and religion thing, too. I don't dismiss it at all because I have duel diagnosis, but the thing that really made a difference was talking to other addicts in recovery. NA literature says the therapeutic value of one addict helping another is without parallel. It's so true. Love you honey. It can be better!
@@wiseriverhealing TY 4 U 🙏 this rings the bells 👌 went back to rooms bout 5 DayZ ago & met up with someone I swore was dead & the peeps there (along with the godsend of my therapist) stopped a BAD mainia 👍 Blessings Beyond Blessings 🙌
Hope this song touches the ones that need this... please hang in there..come back to the fold of the ones that love and cherish you..this song is totally on mark!
My brother lost his life to drugs fri and we are in so much pain this song he loved and it fits him perfect he lived with his demons for years and was finally getting his life back together but the ole devil got to him
i just heard this song tonight for first time, ive listened to it maybe 20 times now , cried some , laughed some, this is a beautiful song prolly best ive ever heard, i felt this on a personal level deeper than any other song, sure your brother did too, we all just trying to make it til the hurtins done, may your bro rest in peace man.
I lost my only son to cancer at 18 months. I received divorce papers after a 25 year marriage 2 years ago. I have been rescued twice from suicide attempts. I met a women after loosing every single little item in life. She gave me a the opportunity to father an unborn child with no father in sight. 8 months later I can feel it coming again. So I stand out side in the cold and the rain trying to make this shit hole of an apartment seem like a home. And listen to this song over and over and over again. Thank you for your honesty In the songs you play.
Arlo is one of the best artists to come out within the last decade. Incredible songwriter and singer. One of the best live shows I’ve ever seen. Can’t wait to see more off of Die Midwestern!
When I am hurting i lash out its my way of coping with the lie's& the pain.💔. Anxiety is a true disease and some just don't understand!!!!!!!!!!!!NO ONE !!
After years of self meditation (pills, cocaine,and alcohol) , memories still haunt... This song is So so powerful , actually cried and thanked Christ for loving me and helping me through it. Every day is a battle. Thank you Arlo for sharing your songs
Arlo I can’t get over this song man , i related with this song more than any other song in 34 years man I’ve listened to it 10x now at least . This is a “Tuesdays gone” competitor no joke. This takes the cake man thank you for pouring it like this . This song will forever be heard at least 4x a week til the Hurtin is done 🙏
This song makes me think of my son struggling with depression, anxiety and alcoholism and it makes me cry. I have tried so many times to help. I have nothing left. I'm so broken...for myself... for him. The pain is so overwhelming that now I hide with a smile and cry when I'm alone. I pray, one day, he will find his way back. I can't help him. I so want to...but there's nothing left inside me to give without completely breaking. Sadly, I wait for the phone call one day...any parents going through what I am knows what that statement means and are probably hiding their broken pieces like I do. I understand what he is going through. I myself struggled with addiction for many years and it took YEARS to overcome them. I think those of us who have struggled and then raised a child who is struggling, it hurts deeper because we know the real pain they are experiencing and how deep that hurt is...I would never wish that on anyone. What can we as parents do? We reach out, we are told things, made promises, we get our hopes up, we want to trust you that things will change now and then all over again we are broken into pieces...and then you become "the ghosts that still haunts us, we fight one by one, till the hurtin is done, till the hurtin is done"...
Caught Arlo recently as an opener for Lucero. I wish I could say I didn't drink so goddamn much that I could remember half the songs they played, but I'll be damn if Mr. McKinley didn't make an impression.
I’ve been suffering from horrible anxiety for years. So much so now that I have a hard time leaving the house. Words in this song gave me so much comfort and hope that things can get better. Thank you for this!
Saddest song I’ve ever heard. Hauntingly beautiful. Says the things I couldn’t say. Woke up from a bad dream to a life I didn’t plan. Few things seem right most are wrong, but this song is a good one. Waltz in the kitchen with a beer in my hand
I agree. Simply cuz i could have wrote it myself. Perfectly describes how i'm an overthinker who deals with anxiety and this song triggered a break down for me.
Oh my! So this really hits home.. I lost my brother to suicide 6 years ago.. he wasn't able to fight his hurtin.. wow! I just cried the 10 times I listened to this song back to back! LOVE this song! 💙
@@rockynone4515 just know you have people in your corner! I will be a listening ear if you need one! Always remember you ARE worth it and you ARE loved! 🤗 Hugs to you!
@@markdruck I love Zach...you are comparing Apples and Oranges. There are lots of talented musicians...I am allowed to say who I think stirs MY soul and you are too. It is wonderful to have so many choices.
I cried more to this when I was using. Now I still relate, its a battle anyone who says it ain't. Has not suffered thru the why's of using anything. See he knows how to wait till the panic is gone. Hard to love an addict. God bless us all
Song smacks me in the face, what I'm dealing with now. Played it for my wife, she said was this written for you. Listen to that song and all his others everyday. Keeping me on the right road.
Lost my best friend (my Dad) on 6/28/21....that steel guitar and His voice / lyrics just rip my guts out and bring down the tears Everytime!! Its helpful in the healing so I've heard....i dont ever think this will heal!! Thanks for the hauntingly Beautiful song Arlo!!
I am struggling really bad right now. My husband of 8 years just up amd left with my kid unexpectedly and took my kid. I have no idea where they are at or even if they are okay. I picked up old habits and can't seem to cut it. I'm broken inside! This is beautiful!
Wow! This song is for me after I suddenly lost my husband! Ive found still 9 yrs later the hurting is not done! Love this song Im more rock n roll and some country and this is one of those!
Been clean for 23 years in October. I sometimes feel sad when I listen to certain songs, but nothing like the pain I felt while trying to run away with cocaine. I am writing my story and man was I screwed up as a kid and young adult. It's funny how different things look years later when reflecting on one mortality.
This song come at a time couldn't been more healing for me I almost lost my oldest son a month ago today they already had him on the helicopter he finally came around this is taking me down just know you're so gifted my son was to I'm so ready to give up but you're music brings me back for strength God bless you pray for my son
I heard this song the night I hit rock bottom. It hasn’t been long, but I’m learning to love myself again. I’m learning to love the people that have stayed in spite of it all. I came back today, 6 months clean and sober, to find the song so much more beautiful then it was back then.
i use to self medicate but i made it 12 yrs now sober and clean . Everyday is still a struggle dealing with my aniexty and depression but if i can keep fight anyone can.
"I hide from anxiety I never stay hidden for long I learned to self-medicate Then how to wait until the panic is gone So I hide behind smiles And whatever else gets me through I'm not knowing what's waiting for me Or what I ought to do" Damn. serious chills at that part. I'm on day 4 so the hurting is not quite done for me atm but I've been there and know what it feels like. Im so tired of numbing myself and running from anxiety and feelings. I need to heal so badly.
I listened to this song and a few others each morning after doing ayahuasca in Baja, Mexico.. I can't tell you how much more things make sense. I can tell you that years of anxiety was released through the process and tears. Intention is everything.
No more numbing the pain!!!! I am so much more than you think and way more worth it than you will ever know Praying one day you heal and stop crushing ppls spirits you can lie to everyone else but not to me anymore God knows it and sees it all and hes always watching and waiting for you JESUS heals
Pretending to be happy I'll make up my own mind tonight the ghost that still haunt me learning still I'm a mess but it's mine to decide till the hurting done mabey tonight as the tears stream down everyone's talking but Noone is saying a 🤔 this one gets me floating thank you for this one
This is my story,my 18 year relationship just ended and even though it wasnt the best,I loved him,still do. I feel like im never going to get through this,and my anxiety kills me and i dont feel like the hurting is ever gonna be done,but this song helps,just knowing that someone else knows this pain,it is comforting...i guess
@@maccone1 I am sorry, it is sad that all of the time was wasted and years of addiction trying to numb my pain and benzos to keep the wolves away,still struggling,totally lost
Life has been hard on me,so much abuse as a child,physical abuse in first marriage,cheating in second marriage and then thought i met someone special,he broke my heart,so much depression, this song is right I fight ghost and depression daily. My husband died in February, my daughter died in September.
This song reaches deep in the soul- to all those struggling out there I wish you the best- there’s so many people out there willing to help- when I was in the army our military chaplain assistant shared with me a deeply personal and painful story about his dark past- he was a true fighter in every sense- and went on to explain it like this
Oops- continued- he said- “we are all spiritual beings, I don’t mean this in a religious sense- but we all have a spirit- and when we medicate with alcohol or drugs it has that physiologic effect on our brain chemistry, while we are trying to mask something that is painful within our spirit or past-thereby a round peg in a square hole” Those were his words- he had the most awful physical scars and I could tell, emotional scars, to illustrate his story- that always stuck with me- he reached a lot of people others couldn’t - I pray and wish the absolute best for those in the struggle- please don’t give up- you all add too much beauty to the world and can help others one day

Oh my! So this really hits home.. I lost my brother to suicide 6 years ago.. he wasn't able to fight his hurtin.. wow! I just cried the 10 times I listened to this song back to back! LOVE this song! 💙
I'm so sorry for your loss
🙏🙏🙏
Sorry for your loss. I tried to leave this world a few months back it's hard for some. He's with you every day and now pain free 💗 stay strong
@@rockynone4515 just know you have people in your corner! I will be a listening ear if you need one! Always remember you ARE worth it and you ARE loved! 🤗 Hugs to you!
@@tonyad1912 Thank you for that. ❤️
Die Midwestern is one of the saddest, but also one of the best albums of all time
This hits hard. Love everything about it.
Thanks for watching!
I think it's our pleasure to watch
We need to get his music to go viral
What a song! There is no one who stirs the soul like Arlo.
You must not have heard of Zach Bryan then... He's the best out right now!
@@markdruck I love Zach...you are comparing Apples and Oranges. There are lots of talented musicians...I am allowed to say who I think stirs MY soul and you are too. It is wonderful to have so many choices.
I cried more to this when I was using. Now I still relate, its a battle anyone who says it ain't. Has not suffered thru the why's of using anything. See he knows how to wait till the panic is gone. Hard to love an addict. God bless us all
That pedal steel! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
SO good
Still listening to this song should be a number one hit
Thanks for keeping it on repeat!
Wow! Hauntingly beautiful!
Awww, Jesus, Arlo...... I'm leakin' here. Brother, thank you - for being you, for talkin' truth.
This is a safe space, man! Thanks for watching.
Song smacks me in the face, what I'm dealing with now. Played it for my wife, she said was this written for you. Listen to that song and all his others everyday. Keeping me on the right road.
We keep hearing again and again that Arlo has written so many people's story with this one. The power of music, man! Thanks for watching
Im 41, this is the first time I had a song hit me like that.
Dear Arlo. I just want to say thx for the music.👍 You, Layne and John Moreland has save my life. All the best from Denmark.
You have good taste in two for sure, who is Layne and which song should I try first?
@@newsnowbc1934 I'm guessing layne Staley? From Alice in chains
Layne also saved my life...so in his honor, my 4 year old son is named Layne. 🤘
Amazing artists.
Nice to see Layne getting a mention here.
First time hearing of this artist. Thanks for the music OurVinyl Sessions!
That's what it's all about! Thanks for the comment, Nick.
Lost my best friend (my Dad) on 6/28/21....that steel guitar and His voice / lyrics just rip my guts out and bring down the tears Everytime!! Its helpful in the healing so I've heard....i dont ever think this will heal!!
Thanks for the hauntingly Beautiful song Arlo!!
Dude this is the most beautiful song I’ve ever heard man i related to this so much thank you
I am struggling really bad right now. My husband of 8 years just up amd left with my kid unexpectedly and took my kid. I have no idea where they are at or even if they are okay. I picked up old habits and can't seem to cut it. I'm broken inside! This is beautiful!
Such a special artist. Few have such an authentic voice.
Simply AMAZING! Die Midwestern is hands down the best album of the last decade.
Such a great album. We've got more session performances of songs from that album to come!
@@OurVinyl We can't wait. Hopefully we'll be able to do a session ourselves someday soon! Thanks for all that you do.
Thank you 🙏
@@ArloMcKinley Dude, thanx for the music , you say all the things I'm afraid to say , Dont ever change , we luv you Arlo
Wow! This song is for me after I suddenly lost my husband! Ive found still 9 yrs later the hurting is not done! Love this song Im more rock n roll and some country and this is one of those!
This song pieces a lot of what I couldn’t fit together, Thank you.
You and me both
Well done brother
Been clean for 23 years in October. I sometimes feel sad when I listen to certain songs, but nothing like the pain I felt while trying to run away with cocaine. I am writing my story and man was I screwed up as a kid and young adult. It's funny how different things look years later when reflecting on one mortality.
Make up my own Mind
Ghost will always be there
Chose to Fly
Much respect Arlo McKinley
Great song
This song hit my soul.
This song come at a time couldn't been more healing for me I almost lost my oldest son a month ago today they already had him on the helicopter he finally came around this is taking me down just know you're so gifted my son was to I'm so ready to give up but you're music brings me back for strength God bless you pray for my son
I heard this song the night I hit rock bottom. It hasn’t been long, but I’m learning to love myself again. I’m learning to love the people that have stayed in spite of it all. I came back today, 6 months clean and sober, to find the song so much more beautiful then it was back then.
The comforting power of music 🧡 Thanks for watching and re-listening.
Hope your still clean brother.
reached my soul brother thanks for the break of thoughts lost in the song ..........
why can I only like this once???
We'll have new songs from this session out soon for you to like ;)
Arlo made me cry.
i use to self medicate but i made it 12 yrs now sober and clean . Everyday is still a struggle dealing with my aniexty and depression but if i can keep fight anyone can.
Keep it up! We're rooting for ya.
Oh Arlo..
Every lyric is like someone two stepping on my heart. I dig it though..I'm a musical masochist.
This guy is the best therapist. Can’t stop listening.
I just stumbled across this, and cried all the way through. I feel this to my core... Beautiful! Thank you for the music. I'm now a fan for sure.
Gets ya right where it counts ....ugh...I love real fuckin country
I think this is the best steal guitar player I've ever heard
I'm a good ole country boy from WV love it defiently hits the heart
Can't wait to see him at The Rooster Tail in IN!!!
This song hits deep
"I hide from anxiety
I never stay hidden for long
I learned to self-medicate
Then how to wait until the panic is gone
So I hide behind smiles
And whatever else gets me through
I'm not knowing what's waiting for me
Or what I ought to do"
Damn. serious chills at that part. I'm on day 4 so the hurting is not quite done for me atm but I've been there and know what it feels like. Im so tired of numbing myself and running from anxiety and feelings. I need to heal so badly.
Thank you
Damn brother , thanks for beautiful song
Dude is gold. Local boy too. Gotta love that
I love the algorithm that brought me here. ❤️
As do we, friend.
Sing it brother!
I listened to this song and a few others each morning after doing ayahuasca in Baja, Mexico.. I can't tell you how much more things make sense. I can tell you that years of anxiety was released through the process and tears. Intention is everything.
Love again N again N again N again
No more numbing the pain!!!! I am so much more than you think and way more worth it than you will ever know Praying one day you heal and stop crushing ppls spirits you can lie to everyone else but not to me anymore God knows it and sees it all and hes always watching and waiting for you JESUS heals
Pretending to be happy I'll make up my own mind tonight the ghost that still haunt me learning still I'm a mess but it's mine to decide till the hurting done mabey tonight as the tears stream down everyone's talking but Noone is saying a 🤔 this one gets me floating thank you for this one
This is my story,my 18 year relationship just ended and even though it wasnt the best,I loved him,still do. I feel like im never going to get through this,and my anxiety kills me and i dont feel like the hurting is ever gonna be done,but this song helps,just knowing that someone else knows this pain,it is comforting...i guess
Same here sister 18 years just thrown out the window it hurts my heart it's broken but this song helps all his songs do
@@maccone1 I am sorry, it is sad that all of the time was wasted and years of addiction trying to numb my pain and benzos to keep the wolves away,still struggling,totally lost
17 years.. come Labor Day. Sucks don’t it. I feel like a rat stuck in a cage of pain.
Same story after 28 yrs my wife just walks out to greener pastures. But dam it hurts.
Man this song resonates, between tours overseas and struggling with suicidal thoughts and addiction back home this is my life….
A man who lived, a man who's cried, a mans who's music will never die
Life has been hard on me,so much abuse as a child,physical abuse in first marriage,cheating in second marriage and then thought i met someone special,he broke my heart,so much depression, this song is right I fight ghost and depression daily. My husband died in February, my daughter died in September.
This song reaches deep in the soul- to all those struggling out there I wish you the best- there’s so many people out there willing to help- when I was in the army our military chaplain assistant shared with me a deeply personal and painful story about his dark past- he was a true fighter in every sense- and went on to explain it like this
Oops- continued- he said- “we are all spiritual beings, I don’t mean this in a religious sense- but we all have a spirit- and when we medicate with alcohol or drugs it has that physiologic effect on our brain chemistry, while we are trying to mask something that is painful within our spirit or past-thereby a round peg in a square hole” Those were his words- he had the most awful physical scars and I could tell, emotional scars, to illustrate his story- that always stuck with me- he reached a lot of people others couldn’t - I pray and wish the absolute best for those in the struggle- please don’t give up- you all add too much beauty to the world and can help others one day
