If I get to make the call, I want this to be the last song I ever hear on this earth. It hits a spot in my soul that no other song ever has. It's perfection.
For some reason you were on my mind tonight Jason. Miss you tons brother and I’ll never forget those 9months we spent on a farm in WV getting sober with all our brothers. You were a really good person my friend. I hope you’ve found peace.
Brilliant guy. It's truly heartbreaking that his illness ended his life far too early. The world definitely misses Mr. Molina and his vast musical talent.
"[Jason] was large and multitudinous: commensurately inspiring and frustrating, goofy and gloomy, spontaneous and studied, generous and self-absorbed, loyal and flaky, wise and naive, trusting and paranoid, outgoing and reserved, honest and totally full of shit, and every blessed and profane thing in between," his former bandmate, Max Winter, wrote after his death. "And it's all there in his music."
It's a real special tune. The first time I heard it, a buddy played it for me. He said "I want you to listen to this, and I want you to not talk for the next 7 1/2 minutes." By the time it was done, I couldn't have spoken anyway.
this makes me cry ...I'd never heard of it until a few days ago ..but it was the final song played at a funeral i was attending...a very tragic death of a young lady that should have lived for many more decades..so now when ever i hear it it makes me cry ..hopefully that'll pass as it wonderful piece of music that i will play often
The whole place is dark Every light on this side of the town Suddenly it all went down Now we'll all be brothers of The fossil fire of the sun Now we will all be sisters of The fossil blood of the moon Someone must have set 'em up Now they'll be working in the cold grey rock Now they'll be working in the hot mill steam Now they'll be working in the concrete In the sirens and the silences now All the great set up hearts All at once start to beat After tonight if you don't want this to be A secret out of the past I will resurrect it, I'll have a good go at it I'll streak his blood across my beak Dust my feathers with his ash I can feel his ghost breathing down my back I will try and know whatever I try I will be gone but not forever I will try and know whatever I try I will be gone but not forever Real truth about it is No one gets it right Real truth about it is We're all supposed to try There ain't no end to the sands I've been trying to cross The real truth about it is my kind of life's no better off It's got the maps or if it's lost We will try and know whatever we try We will be gone but not forever Come on let's try and know whatever we try We will be gone but not forever Real truth about it is there ain't no end to the desert I'll cross I've really known it all along Mama here comes midnight With the dead moon in its jaws Must be the big star about to fall Mama here comes midnight With the dead moon in its jaws Must be the big star about to fall Long dark blues Will-o'-the-wisp Long dark blues The big star is falling Long dark blues Will-o'-the-wisp The big star is falling Long dark blues Through the static and distance Long dark blues A farewell transmission Long dark blues Listen Long dark blues Listen Long dark blues Listen Long dark blues Listen
Exactly one year since his death and the place is still dark. The real truth about it is No one gets it right The real truth about it is We're all supposed to try There ain't no end to the sands I been trying to cross The real truth about it is My kind of life's no better off If it's got the map, or if it's lost
Chose this video and not the others just so I could scroll thru all of the lovely comments celebrating Jason while I listen. Rest In Peace buddy, you are an absolute legend.
November 2024 and still haunting and beautiful as ever. Jason, did you have any idea how profound this is, what you said here, and how you said it? I think you did. God rest your soul.
Haunting Neil Young/Crazy Horse simplicity. The transition at around 5 minutes just moves to tears. Emotion can be conjured with self-reflection. This Song hangs like the ghost of a man no longer here.
Been a fan of your channel for years (since 2014 when I was a huge Cynic fan and was looking for opinions on their work) and always wanted to recommend you this song but never figured out the best place to do it.
I subscribe to your channel only because of you being here commenting on this song at least you know who Jason Molina is I wish I discovered his music sooner but he was gone a couple months when I did but I looked at your channel lotta newer Metallica not a fan I like old Metallica but they really are douche bags but anyway I’d pick Jason Molina any day over Metallica and I’m not trying to be disrespectful at least you heard this song and like I said I subscribed to your channel
The planets alined on this one. This song about sums life up. I’ve had a inconsequential existence and I’m ready for relief, the kind of relief a kid feels putting his pack down at the end of the school year after all the books have been turned in.
Somehow, life seems like it only gets worse and worse, wading through despair up to my shoulders. But suffering is not so bad when we share it. Thank you Mike (I'm guessing your name is backwards?)
I bought this album in college when it came out. I had 15,000 songs on my iPod but didn’t listen to anything else for months; it might have changed me - not sure, not sure it was for the better either. Volatile stuff
Saw Jason/Magnolia Electric in Toronto.....what a great guy! I talked to him after the show...he signed a bunch of my cd's...A real gem....and also such a goddamn waste. Drugs-Alcohol claims another genius.
I know it's been said numerous times but Jason reminds me so much of Neil Young sometimes. And the whole sound reminds me of crazy horse too. Sometimes. Not to say Jason is not wonderful on his own merit. Did I fuck that up?
Bro I see your profile on so many good rap videos like throughout the years I see your profile pic on the realest shit and then today my dad showed me this band he likes and the first song I click on has your profile in the comments 😂💯💯
Was listening to a ton of Strand of Oaks and Timothy Showalter said J.M. was one of his biggest influences. So I had to check this out. Im impressed with the first fifteen minutes Ive absorbed. Very Neil Young'ish.

I just came across this track. Its an all timer, i don't know much about his band but digging in now
"I will be gone, but not forever" RIP Jason the music is eternal.
A Stoner/Doom/Desert fan who also loves Jason Molina? I thought I was the only one! 🍻
Still. He got to me while he was alive. He gets to me even more now

Wow.
Thanks for sharing.
That is absolutely beautiful. Thanks for sharing, indeed! 🦉
I kinda wanna aspire to have the same things said about me. 😂
I’m hearing this for the first time and it’s stirring up some real shit I haven’t felt in quite a while.
goosebumps, yeah. Not many songs do that to me nowadays.
It's a real special tune. The first time I heard it, a buddy played it for me. He said "I want you to listen to this, and I want you to not talk for the next 7 1/2 minutes." By the time it was done, I couldn't have spoken anyway.
Eyes welling up reading this.
Same. It's striking something deep
I wish you were here, dear Mr. Molina.
You said you'd be gone, but not forever.
Amazing that he left this earth without huge attention and fame. Probably the biggest talent to go almost unnoticed.
I can't believe I just discovered him... enthralled
Steve Albini mentioned the album during an interview in 2014. That's the first time I heard him mentioned.
Such a haunting song. Especially when you play it over & over.
One of the most powerful songs I ever heard...
this makes me cry ...I'd never heard of it until a few days ago ..but it was the final song played at a funeral i was attending...a very tragic death of a young lady that should have lived for many more decades..so now when ever i hear it it makes me cry ..hopefully that'll pass as it wonderful piece of music that i will play often
"I will be gone, but not forever" you will never go Jason
RIP Steve Albini
The whole place is dark
Every light on this side of the town
Suddenly it all went down
Now we'll all be brothers of
The fossil fire of the sun
Now we will all be sisters of
The fossil blood of the moon
Someone must have set 'em up
Now they'll be working in the cold grey rock
Now they'll be working in the hot mill steam
Now they'll be working in the concrete
In the sirens and the silences now
All the great set up hearts
All at once start to beat
After tonight if you don't want this to be
A secret out of the past
I will resurrect it, I'll have a good go at it
I'll streak his blood across my beak
Dust my feathers with his ash
I can feel his ghost breathing down my back
I will try and know whatever I try
I will be gone but not forever
I will try and know whatever I try
I will be gone but not forever
Real truth about it is
No one gets it right
Real truth about it is
We're all supposed to try
There ain't no end to the sands
I've been trying to cross
The real truth about it is my kind of life's no better off
It's got the maps or if it's lost
We will try and know whatever we try
We will be gone but not forever
Come on let's try and know whatever we try
We will be gone but not forever
Real truth about it is there ain't no end to the desert I'll cross
I've really known it all along
Mama here comes midnight
With the dead moon in its jaws
Must be the big star about to fall
Mama here comes midnight
With the dead moon in its jaws
Must be the big star about to fall
Long dark blues
Will-o'-the-wisp
Long dark blues
The big star is falling
Long dark blues
Will-o'-the-wisp
The big star is falling
Long dark blues
Through the static and distance
Long dark blues
A farewell transmission
Long dark blues
Listen
Long dark blues
Listen
Long dark blues
Listen
Long dark blues
Listen
Exactly one year since his death and the place is still dark.
The real truth about it is
No one gets it right

We're all supposed to try
There ain't no end to the sands I been trying to cross
The real truth about it is
My kind of life's no better off
If it's got the map, or if it's lost
I know he's gone ...but not forever ....I love this man....forever..maybe we meet in the cold gray dawn

Jack Smith I admire your endearing humanity, really
coverkillernation a dirge, with it’s own chanting on the way to the grave
I can feel some Neil young in this soul
I subscribe to your channel only because of you being here commenting on this song at least you know who Jason Molina is I wish I discovered his music sooner but he was gone a couple months when I did but I looked at your channel lotta newer Metallica not a fan I like old Metallica but they really are douche bags but anyway I’d pick Jason Molina any day over Metallica and I’m not trying to be disrespectful at least you heard this song and like I said I subscribed to your channel

Wherever you went to Mr. Molina I hope the air is sweeter, the food is better, and there's someone nice to cuddle with.
God damn.
Marc Maron brought me here and I'm glad he did. This is the music I have been searching for all my life
Where does Maron talk about this record? I'd be really interested to hear it, Thank you!
@lordrex71 I wish I could remember. It was an episode of his podcast from around 2018/2019, I think. That's all I know. Sorry.
Solid track... to say the least.
R.I.P Jason Molina 🍺 cheers and rock on in heaven for us brothers
legio patria nostra ☠🤟
Gives me goosebumps every time. Makes me want to drown in tears
mama here comes midnight
with the dead moon in it's jaws
Must be the big star about to fall
@@ArsalanMGR LONG DAAAAAAAAARK BLUUUUUUUUUES
The best way to listen to this is on repeat 😥
just perfect ... thanks Molina for everything you gave to us ....
Discovered this record in the first days of the pandemic, so this is my pandemic song. Every time I hear it, im brought back to 2020.
I bought this album in college when it came out. I had 15,000 songs on my iPod but didn’t listen to anything else for months; it might have changed me - not sure, not sure it was for the better either. Volatile stuff

Comes with the territory. If you are this creative and sensitive you won't be able to cope with a world this horrible
Masterpiece
Rest in peace, Mr. Molina.
yeh man
Damn shame. He was a true artist.
I will be gone. But not forever.
2019 and still havin a good go at it !
This is the song my soul sings to myself. No wonder it feels so familiar. Fucking beautiful
so beautiful
great album art
Real truth about it is.. nobody gets it right.
Real truth about it is...we all have to try
miss you, jason! hope you are at peace, brother.
I will resurrect it, i'll have a good go at it
I know it's been said numerous times but Jason reminds me so much of Neil Young sometimes. And the whole sound reminds me of crazy horse too. Sometimes. Not to say Jason is not wonderful on his own merit. Did I fuck that up?
BullsEye to the heart
Thanks Reddit.
The first 25 seconds of this song just melt me. Lovely piece
blieh
Amazing!!!!!!
Listen
Cool song!
they don't make 'em much better than this
Never realized how much that owl looks like Mr. T.
Anyway.. RIP, Molina.
Graham Barth Quit yo jibba jabba
i pity the foo that dislikes the beauty Molina gave us to hear.
A great listen!
soul shining through the skin music 🎵...next level barely attainable blood pumping beauty...yeah, good.
Still crossing that dessert, I need a drink but not today, I will wait till it’s closer to times end,with you.
Someone must have set them up!
rip steve
The real truth about it is.....
No-one gets it right
Joe Blakeley real truth about it is we’re all supposed to try
I got shivers the first time I ever heard those lines
rip

Everyone's got something profound to say.
It's silly.
Is this yours? Needs some work
It IS kinda cringe, but that's just how humans relate to things
poo
This is beyond atrocious and preachy oh my God this is bad
Lmao nice try. You'll never achieve what Jason has. All you do is steal and repost memes, get bent
The real truth about it is, you're wrong
Go figure he’s dead!!! I mean WTF!! Why is it ANYTIME someone comes around that sounds fairly decent and touches many has to fkn die!!!???!!!!
heaven needs its musicians
