This is my favorite version of this song. I swear you can see a tear in his eye. I told a buddy that the reason I love JJ so much is because I bet if he were by himself around a camp fire, he would put the same amount of soul into it...
"Where did my soul go, where did my spirit hide? Why want they rescue me, from this pain in my mind." I lost my spirit and my soul to alcohol n drugs. Thru sobriety and prayer, I'm beginning to find them
Elizabeth Daniel So sorry you lost him. I to know that feeling! I woke to find my husband of 23yrs, dead. Gone like that!! Pls do hold that memory of him! Hold on tight! This is an amazing song flowing with emotions! Always gets me! 😢 All the best to you!
@@mr.potter4661 Yep. JJ, Pokey LaFarge, The Milk Carton Kids and Nathaniel Rateliff have been on heavy rotation during the lockdown and if I could possibly get bored of the studio mixes, there are tons of live sessions to listen to. Cheers!
Wow… this hits like a freight train. Certainly one of the most powerful solo performances ever… stunning! One year later: I have added this to my acoustic cover show… having been a hard drinker for decades, I can sing it with conviction. Singing it in front of an audience is difficult and painful, yet easy and healing at the same time…? Guess I’m really singing it for myself, and not the audience… great song JJ!
Makes me think of Gary Allen live in concert. He was so hoarse. He has just lost his wife. He told us all to bear with him and I just about couldn't stand feeling and knowing what he meant.
I saw JJ and Mofro 16ish years ago, in a little hole in the wall dive, in SC. It was 12° hotter than the LITERAL hinges of hell in that place, I was 6 months pregnant, had never before (nor have I since) been so sick in my life. In fact, I think I eventually wound up in the hospital the next day. I was so weak that I couldn't even stand but ill be damned if I was going to miss seeing Mofro! JJ sent one of his people out to grab me and my chair and my husband; he put us right up front so I could sit down but still see the show. I couldn't dance but I sure did cry the whole time. Big fat ugly happy tears just rolled down my face with every song. His soul tohches me in places no hands can reach.
This song has all the feels for sure. I can play along on my guitar, but damn if I don't have the throat for it. Nobody does it like JJ. "Warm in their houses while I face my cold alone." Yeah.... I'm cold with ya boss
Where has this man been my entire life . He has to have witnessed every pain of every battle known to scare a man's soul . The felt understanding gives one chills .
Just saw JJ Grey & Mofro in concert. They were amazing. The concert had three acts, and he blew the other musicians and bands away. He still sings with the same passion, and grit. I love him because he's a good ol' Florida boy from my homestate. He sings about being grateful for the little things, the trees, the sun shining down, the river, the gators, and the dragonfiles.
This song runs deeper then I can ever put in words. You see I lost my little girl 4 years ago in a fatal car accident one month before she turned 18. She was working at the Monto Rio beach, on the Russian River. She died on Moscow Rd which runs along the river. That river was her life. She had gone out that day to cash her paycheck and never made it back. We lived in an old three story house made into apartments overlooking the Russian River and spent every free moment on or in it. The River has claimed many life's over the years. When I hear him sing this song with all of the passion in his voice it reminds me of her passion for life. She was (is) an old soul with the all the love and kindness one could possibly have, enough to fill the hearts of a whole village and then some. She was truly our angel on loan. Thank you for your music and for the depth of your passion that ,comes straight for your soul. I am from Napa Valley CA and I wished that I had known of you when you preformed here at Bottle Rock I'd have loved for her to have seen you, for us to have seen you.
Dearest Cathy, I am so sorry for your loss! But I must admit,it do find strength in your words of your daughter. I discovered this song approximately one year ago when I learned that my son would have his eighth open heart surgery. I dreaded every day I've been given until now, where by the grace of God he had a successful procedure. I am so very sorry to hear of the loss of your daughter. I hope that every day you have coming, you find strength in not only this song, but in everything that comes your way. God bless you my sister!
Y’all should definitely check out the official video. He stares into the camera when singing the most painful lyrics, and his eyes pierce your soul as they reveal the deep sadness he’s been through. If you’ve seen him perform live, you’ll probably know through his stories that his lyrics come straight from his life experience and from his heart. He’s an incredibly sensitive and honest artist.
Just heard this song the other day. My brother and I both worked on the river. He passed away last month. he was only off the boat 2 days. This song truly hits the heart.
😭Great song. 💝 This song touches me so deeply. These lyrics hit me so hard “….trying to find purpose, trying to see meaning, trying to make sense of this nonsense I call my life” and “see them all work and play, there on the other bank, warm in their houses, while I face my cold alone”. I’m not a drinker and I definitely don’t do drugs but I do feel the aloneness & hopelessness this song conveys. 😭😫
From South Louisiana song This River like the rest make you want to look into your own soul and see life in a better way. Thanks JJ I LISTEN to your music like going to church. Let's you see inside of self , that's cool
My husband, Conrad, just passed on and this is the music he chose to listen to and I played as they took his body away. So beautiful JJ. Thank you. Deborah
My roommate used to listen to this song everyday. I like this song and JJ is one of my favorites but everyday this sad song and JJ's voice would fill our house. I never understood why she loved this song so much until she died of alcoholism. Now it has a whole new meaning to me and what she was secretly hiding from the world. I play it , not everyday but a lot and I know somehow, someway she's next to me singing along like she used to. ❤
He is so soulful. The song itself gives me chills but the video cuts into my heart. When he sings the lyrics "where did my soul go...." His face and the lines of expression are so incredibly powerful. Love his music.
Your Dang, Right it has helped Me Also in so Many Ways in my Life ever since J. J. First wrote it, the Day His Dad went to be with The Lord Jesus Christ! ❤❤❤❤❤
Jesus Christ is my river. 🙇🏻♀️🙏🕊❤️ Give us strength, guide us and protect us. Help us find rest in you always, help us trust you and have confidence in you in anything and everything. 🙏🙏🙇🏻♀️🕊❤️
“Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin; That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God. For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries: Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you: Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead. For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit. But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer. And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins. Use hospitality one to another without grudging. As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified. But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters. Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf. For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.” 1 Peter 4:1-17, 19 KJV www.bible.com/1/1pe.4.1-17,19.kjv
Such passion in his voice...I can feel his pain in my soul!!!! Thank you dear Lord for allowing me see myself through this beautiful song!!!! Wow...2021
The river flows threw me .sitting on the bank listening to the current.the bird the wolf.and it whispers to me flows like blood in my veins.Wont some one rescue me???only this river and myself can save me.Thanks for the real JJ Grey
My wife and I have traveled all over the West to see him. 4 times and it will never be enough. Last one was him solo doing the ‘Front Porch Sessions’ UNBELIEVABLE :)
@@irishmickhead1 yes I have fruitlessly tried finding a way out. Unfortunately due to the fact that I'm on SSDI and 56yrs old the waiting list on every apartment list I'm signed up on for (9) is 4yrs long. I don't wish this on anyone.
This is my favorite moment of him ever! The lyrics, the emotion, his voice and that look he gives at the end❤️ Words can’t describe what his music does to my soul. A true artist! Such a wonderful gift to all of us!!
This song has helped me realize how they are so many people who is going threw hell and picked them self up and moved on not just let the bad in there life take them into the dark and stay there they found the good and bad in life and moved on thank you all for your words of whatever your going threw and thank u so much to the song writer I'm blessed for getting to listen to to this song and reading the comments it's helping so much thank you everyone
I'm not crying your crying...ok ok.. this dude... I stumbled apon his music just by chance and haven't stopped listening! This is my absolute favorite by him but man shining down. And lochloosa live are just amazing songs! Where has jj been hiding??? Amazing
Hey JJ what such a great song and hits a lot of the American homes.Had the opportunity to catch you in Tallahassee Florida and what a hell of a show you put on an brother man this song touches so many people.Thanks
I stare at a picture but there's nothing for it I pull on the bottle and watch this river roll on by Trying to find purpose trying to see meaning Trying to make sense of the nonsense that I've called my life But only this river can bear me to safety Only this river can bear me away See them all work and play there on the other bank Warm in their houses while I face my cold alone Guess I've been drinking away to keep the wolves of my mind at bay but if you run you die I'm just too tired to care Cause only this river can bear me to safety Only this river can bear me away I feel Her flowing, flowing right through me I hear Her whispers drowning my words Only this river can save me from myself Where did my soul go? Where did my spirit hide? Why won't they rescue me from the pain in my mind? Only this river in all of Her glory Only this river can bear me away Only this river
One of the simplest, pure , raw examples of music at it's very best. This song awes me how , with just one sentence it echos completely through my entire being , tearing open parts of my emotions that have been closed for so long. And yet it's pureness of word and heart somehow heals me. . May you be blessed and please continue to share your music . You are very gifted to have that height of power inside and bring it to life when you sing. . I want to say you are awesome, but that isn't anywhere near enough to describe you. Thank you.
This song touches every part of the soul. Has gotten me through addiction. Thank you so much. When he cries, it makes it that much more beautiful. Brings tears of healing.
This is my favorite version of this song. I swear you can see a tear in his eye. I told a buddy that the reason I love JJ so much is because I bet if he were by himself around a camp fire, he would put the same amount of soul into it...
I've been to those bonfires ,not with jj,. People just as good.
Agree. Watching him sing makes it.
"Where did my soul go, where did my spirit hide? Why want they rescue me, from this pain in my mind." I lost my spirit and my soul to alcohol n drugs. Thru sobriety and prayer, I'm beginning to find them
Hope you're still on that path? I'm bringing up the rear and walking down that road too. Way too many forks in this road.
good luck.
Hang in there brother.
Extremely Awesome and I love him,and its 2020,lol
Hello and good luck bc he is phenomenal
❤ The story of my life! Thank you…
I could listen to this song 10,000 times I believe and not get tired. It touches the soul
I agree he touches the soul
This River... My Husband's favorite song. Said its him and I am his River.. He's passed on now and I am flowing right on with only his memory
Headed for our morning coffee together. The cemetery is peaceful this time of morning.... Drink my coffee and listen to some JJ Grey
+Elizabeth Daniel sorry for your loss. lovely song to remember your husband by
Thank You reed1972... I appreciate it
+Elizabeth Daniel you're welcome
Elizabeth Daniel So sorry you lost him. I to know that feeling! I woke to find my husband of 23yrs, dead. Gone like that!! Pls do hold that memory of him! Hold on tight! This is an amazing song flowing with emotions! Always gets me! 😢 All the best to you!
This man is something else. So genuine, powerful, and convincing. One of my favorite voices. And one my favorite artists.
th-cam.com/video/L9H6qesolP4/w-d-xo.html
Totally agree ❤❤❤me too
This is simply one of the most power songs I have ever heard.
watch the video version...
th-cam.com/video/L9H6qesolP4/w-d-xo.html
@@LisamarieP1 I have. It is great.
When you see him play this live it’s something special
Just turned off the Grammys, think I'll just watch a bunch of J.J.'s videos !!!
Still relevant in 2021, probably many more years to come too. Cheers!
@@joem7572 totally agree. I keep coming back time and time again to hear the different versions.. love em all
@@mr.potter4661 Yep. JJ, Pokey LaFarge, The Milk Carton Kids and Nathaniel Rateliff have been on heavy rotation during the lockdown and if I could possibly get bored of the studio mixes, there are tons of live sessions to listen to. Cheers!
@@joem7572 yeah the only good thing about these lockdowns is that I discovered some new artists. And old ones have pulled some through it.
Several songs hit me in places 99% of people can't even understand. This is one of them. I cry damn near every time
Wow… this hits like a freight train. Certainly one of the most powerful solo performances ever… stunning!
One year later: I have added this to my acoustic cover show… having been a hard drinker for decades, I can sing it with conviction. Singing it in front of an audience is difficult and painful, yet easy and healing at the same time…? Guess I’m really singing it for myself, and not the audience… great song JJ!
Thank God for St John. Definitely clears my mind, along with this music.
The hoarseness of his voice sounds painful, but makes it all the better! Best version of this IMO.
When he's not playing, he sings even better. Playing messes with his timing just a bit. Tough stuff.
Makes me think of Gary Allen live in concert. He was so hoarse. He has just lost his wife. He told us all to bear with him and I just about couldn't stand feeling and knowing what he meant.

Big fat ugly happy tears just rolled down my face with every song. His soul tohches me in places no hands can reach.
who else is still getting chills listening to this in 2016
This song has all the feels for sure. I can play along on my guitar, but damn if I don't have the throat for it. Nobody does it like JJ.
"Warm in their houses while I face my cold alone." Yeah.... I'm cold with ya boss
chillin here too!
sadly this song is my life right now. I never tire of hearing it, cathartic and sadness all at the same time.
I couldn't have said it better!
Every damn time
From 4:00 on, don't know if I have ever heard a more emotionally beautiful voice.
100% agree!!!!!
Where has this man been my entire life . He has to have witnessed every pain of every battle known to scare a man's soul . The felt understanding gives one chills .
This is raw.. this is what we were meant to hear...
1 more day this song helped me get thru thank you

It's 2024 and I'm here for this. The struggle is real and this song hits the core of my soul every time I hear it. Helps me carry on.
it definitely is helping me .
I lost everything to my addiction I'm so fucking broken and all alone it's really hard I wish I was high again so I wouldn't care but I can't
@@CoryBowman-lb7wqwe’re all here for this and I’m here for you brother. Keep fighting the fight!
How am I just finding this guy? Thank you Lord for instilling this kind of art and creation inside this dude. JJ Grey IS THE REAL DEAL PERIOD
Still listening in late 2019
More people need to hear this
Wow, that is one emotionally charged performance. I just want to give the man a hug. 💔

Everytime I listen to this it makes me tear up. Amazing, powerful, and simply soulful.

He sings as he’s been there. I know this from experience. Sends chills to my body🎶
I Love him He is so HOT .l love his songs they have meaning from the heart, not the shit u hear today
From South Louisiana song This River like the rest make you want to look into your own soul and see life in a better way. Thanks JJ

J.J. Grey brings it with every song in every performance...you gotta respect that love of his own art...love this man's music and his heart.
He is so soulful. The song itself gives me chills but the video cuts into my heart. When he sings the lyrics "where did my soul go...." His face and the lines of expression are so incredibly powerful. Love his music.
The power in the mans words moves me and makes me snap back to reality in it''s simplicity
JJ.... what is that song about? Because I can feel that pain my friend!! "best song ever!!!"

My wife and I have seen him 4 times now and every time I hear this it shakes my soul. I wish he could come out west again soon.
The river flows threw me .sitting on the bank listening to the current.the bird the wolf.and it whispers to me flows like blood in my veins.Wont some one rescue me???only this river and myself can save me.Thanks for the real JJ Grey
Oh my goodness. I've seen the video but to do this alone like that. Only JJ could feel this. Awesome. Saw him once in Savannah, GA. Great artist.
I suffer from alcoholism and depression. This is my go to song! Speaks to my soul.......
My Boy! Been traveling far and wide for over a decade now to see Mofro. This is sure as shit why.....
My wife and I have traveled all over the West to see him. 4 times and it will never be enough. Last one was him solo doing the ‘Front Porch Sessions’ UNBELIEVABLE :)
❤ I just have to listen to this song every night this song was wrote for me😂
This song really hits home for me because I've been homeless for almost 2yrs.
That's such a long time, I'm sure you have tried to find a way out of that. Any churches helping you out?
@@irishmickhead1 yes I have fruitlessly tried finding a way out. Unfortunately due to the fact that I'm on SSDI and 56yrs old the waiting list on every apartment list I'm signed up on for (9) is 4yrs long. I don't wish this on anyone.
My Pastor informed me 2yrs ago that he personally will pay my Security deposit when I do get a place. That's so kind of him!
Amazing. Playing guitar and percussion barefoot. And a voice that reaches deep into your soul.
One of the most beautiful souls ive ever...
when all seems futile, you make it worthiwhile.
Need more of this..
Best song I’ve heard in a long time.
I love that wry smile at the end. He's like "Yeah, that was good." 🙂
I love you JJ. I can feel what you are singing. You have so much heart. Thanks for the great music. Carry on.
❤
This is my favorite moment of him ever! The lyrics, the emotion, his voice and that look he gives at the end❤️ Words can’t describe what his music does to my soul. A true artist! Such a wonderful gift to all of us!!
First time hearing this💚👌 where have I been????🤣 what a tune👏 respect from Glasgow 🏝
Every time I see this l weep a little and that's what good music is supposed to do. Absolutely love every bit of this song!!
4:30... f'n feeling it! Oh My!!!
Gives me chills right into my soul. Beautiful just freaking beautiful!!!
Beautiful. So Powerful. We can all share the pain in the words. Feel blessed to have listened to this beautiful, heart wrenchin song
This song has helped me realize how they are so many people who is going threw hell and picked them self up and moved on not just let the bad in there life take them into the dark and stay there they found the good and bad in life and moved on thank you all for your words of whatever your going threw and thank u so much to the song writer I'm blessed for getting to listen to to this song and reading the comments it's helping so much thank you everyone
I'm not crying your crying...ok ok.. this dude... I stumbled apon his music just by chance and haven't stopped listening! This is my absolute favorite by him but man shining down. And lochloosa live are just amazing songs! Where has jj been hiding??? Amazing
JJ everyday!!❤️❤️❤️ from Michigan.
Hey JJ what such a great song and hits a lot of the American homes.Had the opportunity to catch you in Tallahassee Florida and what a hell of a show you put on an brother man this song touches so many people.Thanks
Bck again😂✌️ what a song 🎵 👌 makes me sit and think about life🙏💚 music is good for the soul ✌️ coping mechanism 😉 respect from Glasgow 🏝
Thanks for your music. I'm down, but I'm hanging in, and hanging on.
I stare at a picture but there's nothing for it
I pull on the bottle and watch this river roll on by
Trying to find purpose trying to see meaning
Trying to make sense of the nonsense that I've called my life
But only this river can bear me to safety
Only this river can bear me away
See them all work and play there on the other bank
Warm in their houses while I face my cold alone
Guess I've been drinking away to keep the wolves of my mind at bay
but if you run you die I'm just too tired to care
Cause only this river can bear me to safety
Only this river can bear me away
I feel Her flowing, flowing right through me
I hear Her whispers drowning my words
Only this river can save me from myself
Where did my soul go?
Where did my spirit hide?
Why won't they rescue me from the pain in my mind?
Only this river in all of Her glory
Only this river can bear me away
Only this river
This is me, my PTSD. This song helps me though.
Thank you for posting the lyrics!!
MtnMan,
I hope your life is better 4 years later. You are a good man and deserve so much better
TheMtnMan From Tennessee thanks 🙏
I've spent a lot of the past 2yrs at the Kalamazoo River! This song hits home!
One of the simplest, pure , raw examples of music at it's very best. This song awes me how , with just one sentence it echos completely through my entire being , tearing open parts of my emotions that have been closed for so long. And yet it's pureness of word and heart somehow heals me. . May you be blessed and please continue to share your music . You are very gifted to have that height of power inside and bring it to life when you sing. . I want to say you are awesome, but that isn't anywhere near enough to describe you. Thank you.
