@@thejamnasium6447 my mother was dying in hospice when I discovered this song 5 years ago…adding “mama” to such poetry made me sob involuntarily…. “Listen. Listen.” My BIL is from Lorain; I’ve been there many times, and it completes the visuals of his dark lake lyrics… “Listen.”
you’ve got to love how they start off quiet, then they turn up their guitars and just blow your head clean off. they played with such abandon, it takes a really special band to make 3 chords sound like that.
i dont think its fair, but live...definitely a devastated Tonight's The Night vibe. (which is my favorite Neil Young album...so many great songs built on real devastation and loss), i find Molina the most honest and real songwriters of his generation, alongside Greg Cartwright of Reigning Sound/Oblivians...from two different worlds, alone with a guitar...nobody comes close. Yes, there are better looking, better beards and bigger names, but nothing close. Cartwright survived and has found an audience outside the garage scene, Molina i discovered late through his loose and perfect live performances with this band, notably the Trials and Errors 2xlp which looks like ive had it for 30 years and moved backwards to Songs:Ohia. like the comment above, he was doing it his way and, Cartwright who has dodged major labels for years, finally found a home on Merge. Both can do it alone or with a band and both found a way to be future legends. If you have heard them, they probably mean a lot to you. If you are not aware of Gregs stuff, Reigning Sound (Break Up Break Down, Home For Orphans, Time Bomb High School, Too Much Guitar, Love and Curses--his work with Compulsive Gamblers--notably the double live lp, and a brand new lp are mostly flawless, but his solo stuff is no less powerful and pretty easy to find around here. I find a coolness in both of their "could care less about being cool" attitudes, real suffering and timeless songs.
I heard this song for the first time yesterday on my discover daily Spotify feature. I’ve been changed forever. Thank you Jason. This song is everything a song should be.
In another lifetime I was in this basement pub sitting alone in a dim corner table with a pint of beer which I had forgotten to drink from and a drop of tear in the corner of my eye. Farewell transmission.
"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 The real truth about it is no one gets it right The real truth about it is we're all supposed to try"...... Hits big with all of us that struggle with addiction.
There's a high price to pay for respect...if you sell yourself out, it's easy to make money(relatively.) If you want to be remembered as one of the bests, then you're going to have to make sacrifices. It's not fair, but these guys had true respect, and that's something people seldom earn.
i guess but you know what? i kind of wish this guy didn't drink himself to death. great musician, great song writer, if he gave it up and just led a comfortable life in oberlin or whatever, tending to a vegetable garden, and not recording again, i'd feel a lot better about it. some old hippie said it's better to burn out than to fade away, which is bullshit. growing old an watching all your enemies die, and then making wax of their statues, and burying them, is the best.
No me puedo creer que estuvieras en Lleida y que no tuviera una especie de epifanía que me hiciera ir corriendo hacia ti tras el concierto a decirte que estamos de tu parte. Empiezo la mañana con Spotify, veo la escoria que la plataforma selecciona para mí como música del momento y pierdo la fe en este mundo que eleva a los altares a verdaderos oligofrénicos y permite que gente con tu talento pase de puntillas, como pidiendo perdón, y completamente inconsciente de su descomunal talento. Fue un detalle por parte de Kevin Morby que te homenajeara. De hecho, Morby es uno de los portadores de tu increíble legado.
Chris Procope aww!so broken you wrote braeks! lysdexic(dyslexic!) breaks my heart too:so many amazing artists are true genius & madness!Safety in numbers ?To know it's ok I'm a crazy gypsy::::....
Chris Procope This is 1of 'THE' songs- remember 1st time u 'listen' (98/ATL) & can always 'listen'! (do u know:'I am Kloot' album w/ 'Storm Warning' ?)
have a line from a german alternative pop group, cause my haert also broek... "die verletzten sollen die ärzte sein" - the broken ones shall be the healers/doctors (from wir sind helden - the geek)
i could write more than a few comments on how incredible, amazing and beatiful this is. But they just leave me speechless every time. I'm watching this for the "i-stopped-counting" 'th time.... i love it
These men created one of the most beautiful songs of of modern rock. Britney Spears may have achieved her 15 minutes of fame and gotten rich, but these men have gained legend status.
i very much enjoy the smoking, and the nonchalance of the backing band. it's kind of stylish. but it doesn't make the music sound better. that's the only problem.
If you aren't old enough to remember a time before these camera smartphones and how recordings used to be then it's not your position to try and put someone down for no reason...
"Mama, here comes midnight with the dead moon in its jaws" - my favorite lyric ever written
The “mama” bit is what sends it over the edge completely…
@@ahousefellonme midnight being anthropomorphized... the moon being dead. must be the BIG star about to fall

What does it mean?
@@joeburly I feel like it’s an expression of total hopelessness and misery. Utter despair.
They seem like they're at the end of a four-day Bender but in that sweet spot right before you sleep for 3 days.
Well said, sir.
This is the most accurate comment I have ever had the privilege of reading in all my years of social media.
@@chriscelona7482 seriously lol
and they might as well be. that would eventually kill jason. but goddamnit if they don't sound good
Super not cool with the fact that I never got to hear this song played live in a small basement bar.
Andrew Godfrey its happening near you!
Saw them do this at a tiny art gallery in Portland, Maine in this era!
The heaviest version of one of the best songs ever written good fuckin lørd

Dawson Nichols dynamics. The groove is strong
one of the closest things to a modern Neil Young. great loss.

Neil young is neil young and Jason molina is jason molina. Beautiful thing
the real truth about it is we're all supposed to try...
rip Jason Molina, one of the greatest song writers of our time
I heard this song for the first time yesterday on my discover daily Spotify feature. I’ve been changed forever. Thank you Jason. This song is everything a song should be.
mine too and become 2020's most played song.Thank you spotify
same here it became my most played song for 2021 :)
Wild, it came in my discoveries as well, but only decided to listen to it 2 months after, when I remembered it exists
i miss this man so much
jordan ellington he’ll be gone but not forever
Sorry

Wow. I have grown to love this song over the last 6 months, but holy hell, this is way more powerful than the original.
God just doesn't give a shit about fame. Jason's universe was vast.

This is my favorite song if I had to pick one. I want it played at my funeral.
Same. This is my goodbye song
A genious. A beautiful song, The riff is perfect. Pure feeling.

T Thomas fucking spot on, the true greats never seek the spotlight
Best comment

Just means that the wrong god is running the show.
this song is so fucking amazing.
My favourite Molina song, it's that ending, just wonderful.
i wonder what a JMolina and ESmith colab would sound like...
Enrique Garrovillo They're probably selling out bars together in heaven
sad
Potentially like ugly Casanova
Genius, These guys should have been so much bigger.
Thanks Jason, for everything, wherever you are
this is the goods
I hate how much i can relate to this song now that i quit drinking almost six years ago. Never been more miserable in my life. 🤦♂️
3 years and almost 10 months here and I just want to say I’m proud of you, but I also completely understand your comment.
jason molina - a hero and a saint - most influential singer/songwriter ill ever probly hear - happy listening people. peace
Thanks so much for uploading, one of the great things about TH-cam
Rest well my friend. Rest well
RIP Jason, End of the transmission..
I’m not crying
Rest in peace, Jason, and thanks for the music.
The first time I heard this song that line hit me unrelentlessly, like a bag of bricks.
Which line?
You were a giant Jason....Rest in Peace
guitar hero
you can almost smell the tobacco and afro-juice
such a talent, probally the best i've ever heard.. RIP Jason
this is the best rendition of this song, those guitar slides are just so fucking beautiful
5:20 (don't mind this comment is just that im mesmerized by that guitar lick).
long dark blues
I’ll be gone, but not forever…
No sabes cómo echo de menos, no solo a ti, sino a alguien como tu; el mundo de la música se va al carajo a la velocidad de la luz.
They are in the ZONE
Haunting. RIP, hombre.
This whole performance seems like they got drunk right before and forgot they had to play their set
wow. i love this song
mama here comes midnight with a dead moon in its jaw
wow

So sad about Jason passing, RIP.

sry if too much OT
I'm starting to warm up to Magnolia Electric Company, even though I still like Songs: Ohia better.
This was released under Songs: Ohia.
the best 💔
love this show so much...
RIP my dude
i saw these guys in eugene OR.
awesome show!
Como me hace fata una buena traducción de este tema.
love the instruments, and a huge fan of how the did the vocals. Still fucking amazing though.
Hard to believe Jason’s been gone 8 years
Danelectro yeah !
Saw this configuration on my 21st Bday at TT the Bears in ‘05. Thanks for posting never thought I’d get to see the again. As good as I remember
Brillante Jason... Adiós amigo!!!
braeks my heart

RIP
love when I'm drunk...or stoned...love all round, kill it

@ooohwahoowah Long dark blues.
@ooohwahoowah Long dark blues.
LISTEN
Marc Maron turned me onto Jason during the pandemic when he would play random vinyl on his Instagram Live spots. RIp Jason.
Or god prefers bars and he's right.
listen
i love this song! we love you jason!!! please, could anybody tell me which guitar is jason´s? thanks
Danelectro 56 U2
The whole video is perfection
ill listen to this everyday and it will never get old
totally agreed. this could be so much better. not that it's not amazing as it is
As I understand, he plays a baritone guitar. Not too sure which companies still make them...
Dylan would appreciate the poetry
He have two Daneletros; one of them is a 50's model, other one is Jerry Jones model
beautiful!
I'd argue it means that most people don't know Him or themselves.
Damn sure they are happier than Brittney Spears - and rightly so.
floreda
What kind of guitar? It looks like a Danelectro.
Listen.
Really it means there is a god. We get it. They don't.
@sarahkoval One of my favorite lines in any song...
These men created one of the most beautiful songs of of modern rock. Britney Spears may have achieved her 15 minutes of fame and gotten rich, but these men have gained legend status.
what the fuck does Britney spears have to do with anything?
and shes still alive!
R.I.P Jason....
and he's dead now :-(
Anti Social
i very much enjoy the smoking, and the nonchalance of the backing band. it's kind of stylish. but it doesn't make the music sound better. that's the only problem.
Audio is terrible
obviously you dipshit its recorded on someones camcorder
I love the distortion. It sounds great.
If you aren't old enough to remember a time before these camera smartphones and how recordings used to be then it's not your position to try and put someone down for no reason...
What did you think they would have? They probably made no money
