John Moreland is one of the best songwriters of our generation and sadly will never get the recognition he deserves. Only real music lovers will ever know his name. This dude writes pain better than almost anyone
Tyler Holt Matt Anderson is from just down the road from me. I've seen that dude live so many times, he's just ridiculous. I agree he'll never have the fame he deserves
Absolutely. Setting here in my truck and seen it, listened to the song and then set and listened to this lesson. Going through a divorce myself right now so I know this song all to well.
@@crumpmakecountrygreatagain425 Just makes me think I might not ever write anything so beautiful, so true, so on the head, and perfect so why even try? Ya know?
This guys songwriting is painfully beautiful, it stirs up feelings I’ve tried to shove down deep into the crevices of myself. One of the best lines from his song Cherokee is “ I’ve given up on ever being well.”
You know sh!t's about to get real when the guitar teacher puts down the guitar and get a 1000 yard stare. This song is amazing, ever so often I return to it, and it always hits.
Man, that line you said, “you get it wrong until you get it right”. Boy that hit hard and I thought that was so powerful. Words of wisdom! Thank you for that.
You got a lil vulnerable here buddy! I love the lack of bullshit and false bravado on this page! Three chords and the (sometimes messy) truth. Myself and your other subscribers enjoy the content but YOU are the key ingredient here! The context makes the content pop!!!
P.s... All things are possible. My wife and I were married for 7 years, separated for 7 years, and then got back together (through the oddest events) and now, I’m happy to say we’ve been back together now for....7 years. 🤝 We have 2 beautiful children together. Ages 21 and 24.
I found this song right when my wife and I were going through a very, very rough patch in our marriage. I was sitting on my deck and played this song about 10 times and cried harder each time. I wanted to shut it off but I kept hitting repeat. It was cathartic to just be able to empty my mind, heart and soul for that brief moment in time. It was this line that got me: "I dreamt I'd take you with me. And you'd say you forgive me, and we'd live out some easy ancient song" I have a tough time listening to this song, even today...but I do. And I love it. And it makes me remember who I need to be.
John Moreland is one of the few songwriters ive found that has mastered the art of translating emotion into words. Writing songs that make you feel like theres a blanket of sorrow and sadness draped over you.
The way John even phrases the title is sad/beautiful in such a passionate way. 2nd verse is pure poetry...'we lie here unattended in splendid loves remembrance..you've lost the mind to even do me wrong'..when the passion is gone and she won't even entertain your bullshit anymore..get outta me feelings john!
Great tune, Michael. But please... PLEASE check out his song “Blacklist.” Even without making a video. Just give it a listen. My favorite song ever written.
@@MegaCasperC You probably did that anyway, but make sure you also listen to "Hang Me in the Tulsa County Stars". "And babe, I know This life will make you cold and drive you mad Leave you homesick for a home you never had Burnin' out the good with all the bad" Just so fucking beautiful.
The first date with my wife was in high school in '89. We were married young and had our first child young. There were years there, many, where we were only together due to inertia. Our 20s sucked. Today I can't imagine being with anyone else. We're not just a part of each others lives, we're a part of each others beings. It took work and change and fights and tears. But here we are.
I feel blessed to have just recently got the privilege to see him play live in Seattle. I was standing there watching him thinking how lucky I was to be able to experience seeing him play live. He is the real deal.
Saw him almost 10 years ago. He played this song and I couldn't help but shed a couple tears. I've been living in the place this song comes from so long I think it's just home now. He is a helluva songwriter and I envy his unique guitar playing style. Proud to have artists like him around to write so eloquently from the emotional pit so many of us get stuck in.
John Moreland is an incredible singer-songwriter. He has an endless amount of songs just as great as this one. HIs first four solo albums are all fantastic.
These are seriously awesome. I'm a classical and acoustic guitarist, and these are simply the best videos for not only reactions.. but learning a bit about the song, getting deep into the tune, and hearing a bit on your perception of the lyrics. I love it man. I have found SO many good artists through this chanel. Thank you!!! You have my subscription.
Woah man, you spoke what I haven’t been able to Me and my fiancé have split and have two beautiful boys together But it’s turns sour at times regardless the efforts we put in She left because I’m now in a wheelchair and I understand it’s too hard for her But like you said we don’t change Although change can be good me and my ex were in a rut of sourness although we craved for us both to come down from that mountain I’ve been on self destruct since.... I feel every part of pain he sings Since my accident guitar has been sooo difficult for me now but I’ll get back to where I was just without using my guitar like Ben Howard now Thank you for this ! 🙏🏼
The woman in the crowd's face who tears up has become iconic to me. She's such a striking looking lady, and it hurts to see her cry having watched the song so, so, SO many times. She was feeling it.
Discovered this dude last year and sprayed his music all around me (no one knows him here in France). So intense, his guitar playing is good, and dear god, his lyrics are amongst the great. Reminds me of some that Bob Dylan could have wrote. No need to mention that his singing is amazing too. Great artist. Music like this will never fade, cause it contains everything that makes us human beings with feelings imo. And thank you for your work over it, in my opinion you got everything that makes him so good ! You seem so touched by this song, and don't worry, I think we all feel the same when we listen to him ! :D
Coming back to this video cause I made it listen to the girlfriend of my best friend yesterday, she cried after 2 lines, and she does not even understand english that much, gave her the translation of the lyrics. Man, those words, just those words .. Human being can be so beautiful when we go back to love and life ! That man is the definition of an artist to me : a person who can summarize in few words what every human can feel.
Married for 10 years, divorced 2 years ago, my son lives in a different state now... I know the feelings... However, it is an amazing experience. 🤗 Love to all.
This song is soooo good. Its my lullaby that I sing to my daughters. I change a few words, but its still true to meaning. They love the song. Can't stay awake during it.
So glad that you reacted to this one. One of my favorite songs by one of my favorite songwriters. This particular song got me through a rough breakup back in 2016, and it summed up the end of that relationship perfectly. Such a ridiculously talented songwriter.
I listened to his music way before he got big. I watched the views on his songs like Break My Heart Sweetly and You Don't Care Enough For Me To Cry go from 15,000 views to over 300,000 in the course of a few years and now he has millions of views on his videos. I've been around since his Spotify account only had around 1500 monthly listeners. Hes a great musician and I think he finally got the credit he deserves.
My friend shared one of your videos today and when I got home after work I sat and watched many. I should have had my own reaction video watching yours. All I can say is my word is better after adding you to it. The way you teach, comment and explain the songs and the ones that resonate more than others have opened my ears and heart. Thank you
Me and my girl have a somewhat similar story. Split for 5 years she moved to Colorado from new york. We were volatile. But never lost contact. She moved back and we have been together for 6 years again. Good shit brudda ty!
Man, I've been waiting on this one, and you did not disappoint! Thanks so much! I had requested this one back on a live show in May, and I loved watching your reaction. Been a Moreland fan for years, and love watching him hit people right in the feels. This guy is the real deal. Thank you sir!
You are a very talented, thoughtful caring person. Also, a generous one because you are sharing your gift. No other UA-cam channel compares to yours. I hope you keep doing this because there is nothing else like this. You are giving more than just music. Thankyou.
I chanced upon a video in an endless facebook scroll and heard a live version of this song. I immediately ordered the album and would spend the next 3 days consuming everything I could find of his on the web. Two weeks later, I was front row at his show in Macon, Ga. He is absolutely an incredible songwriter.
I've watched you for a while now and learned a lot from you, but one thing I had to comment to say is how much I admire your willingness to talk about your own personal experience, your own vulnerability in these videos. Very easy to purely focus on the chords, melody etc. but you focus on the SONG and what it means to you, and I admire that so much. Thank you, Michael, and keep being you.
On a snowy day when I was in Iowa for work this past winter, small town middle of no where, I managed to get a 2nd row ticket (benefit of going solo I guess) to tedeschi Trucks band in Ames. Drove 50 min each way in near blizzard. Hadn't heard of the opener before, but when John came on stage and started, I knew my musical life was forever changed. Will never forget that night. (oh, 2nd row TTB....INSANE)
I've loved this song for some time now. It's really nice to see someone with your platform spreading the word of how incredible he is. You clearly feel his pain too which made this video so genuine feeling.
Bro he paralyzed you right out of the gate hahaha. I love it!!! Your face looked like I felt the first time I heard this song. This song and your channel came at a special time in my life years ago. Thank you both.
Michael I'm a beginner I watch for new artist's. Thankyou for being a real man and sharing your life experiences with the hopes of helping someone. Thanks again brother.
I Watched her pack it all up this morning. Sww her and my boy drive off to whatever is next for them. There wasn’t any more anger or hurt in her eyes or if there was she hid it like a pro. I was real proud of her for how she conducted herself. Be good to those that let you in if you don’t they will eventually leave you sitting there wishing you could have done things different.
Thank you for giving the gift of John Moreland's music to more people. What a beautiful God given talent. My wife an I just had our thirteenth anniversary, we also have four babies:) Best wishes to you and yours.
Wow just stumbled along this song and John Moreland for the first time....so chocked up its hard to even communicate how hard that song hits me were I stand post divorce . and then I saw your reaction video I appreciate your heart felt reaction trying to enjoy the guitar lesson even though I don't think I'm stong enough to sing these powerful words it might stand as an instrumental with me for a while . Nice work with this powerful song much respect .. How's that for a first impression God bless John Moreland...
One of the best songwriters out there..got to watch him play to mostly empty rooms years ago..glad to see him doing well..if his songs don't touch something in you , are you really alive..?
Brother, thank you for this. Thanks for being yourself. Now, I have to go help MY kids with THEIR virtual learning. Softshells are always in season, if you feel like ‘em.
I came to hear you further illuminate the mysteries of how music brings us together and makes us feel, I didn't expect to leave with such an amazing and passionate explanation, which truly felt personal, of the intricacies of life and love. Thank you, both of you!
First of all. This is hand down my favourite version of this long. The way the audience buy into the song as Moreland lives every second makes it special. Everyone one has been there at some point. Where you don’t want to give up but your entire body or mind is telling you it’s useless because a bad reaction is better than no reaction at all in your mind. Secondly thank you for breaking this down it a song that made me want to pick up the guitar again. More importantly thank you for your vulnerability.
John is one of my favorite songwriters. I know this video is old, but I would like you to listen to one of his older tunes called "God's Medicine" off the album: In the Throes. It's tied with this song as personally hard hitting for me.
This song still breaks me in half. Blacklist is the other song. I started to heal from abuse after hearing these two songs one morning at 5am. I needed to hear them and one sleepless night I found them. Good luck to good people. Spent two days learning those songs in agony. Thank god for my guitars. They haven't let me down. Real love... 40 years.
You get it wrong till you get it right. Powerful thought. Sometimes you exhaust everything. You hope you hit a soft bottom not a hard loose everything bottom. Sometimes hard to shake the ghost that'll take you down. I love your enthusiasm but really enjoyed your open heart. I got it right finally glad you did to.
John Moreland is one of the best songwriters of our generation and sadly will never get the recognition he deserves. Only real music lovers will ever know his name. This dude writes pain better than almost anyone
Tyler Holt Matt Anderson is from just down the road from me. I've seen that dude live so many times, he's just ridiculous. I agree he'll never have the fame he deserves
@@judecaplin1860 matt andersen is one of the greatest, especially live, nothing like it.
He's the Blaze Foley of our time
@@phantomtides1204 that's a great comparison
So true
Came for the guitar lesson, stayed for the life lesson.
Got deep this time. Always do :)
Absolutely. Setting here in my truck and seen it, listened to the song and then set and listened to this lesson. Going through a divorce myself right now so I know this song all to well.
@@Guitargate that’s what she said !
Right on
So true, both you and John. Thanks. H.B.R.
This is one of those songs that's simultaneously makes you want to go write a song and yet (somehow) never write another song again.
hit the nail on the head with that one, couldnt agree more!
This comment gave me goosebumps, these were my exact emotions after viewing this.
But like Michael said, you get it wrong until you get it right.
What exactly do you mean "never write one again"? Is that literal or some kinda something Im not getting? Sorry to be so complicated
@@crumpmakecountrygreatagain425 Just makes me think I might not ever write anything so beautiful, so true, so on the head, and perfect so why even try? Ya know?
This guys songwriting is painfully beautiful, it stirs up feelings I’ve tried to shove down deep into the crevices of myself. One of the best lines from his song Cherokee is “ I’ve given up on ever being well.”
So excited you got around to Moreland. Lyrical legend
One of the best modern songwriters without a doubt.
Fact
@@Guitargate love your musical breakdowns. You’re inspiring me to pull out my ol Martin D28 and get back to pickin.
Moreland, Isbell...my list gets fuzzy after those two, but they're at the top consistently.
@@MrDavecdva Moreland, Isbell, Colter Wall, Tyler Childers, Chris Stapleton, Sturgill Simpson, Aaron Lewis, and a few more guys.
I've always felt that if someone can move you with nothing but their voice and a guitar, they're probably a really special person..
You know sh!t's about to get real when the guitar teacher puts down the guitar and get a 1000 yard stare.
This song is amazing, ever so often I return to it, and it always hits.
Been listening to John for the last 4 years so when i saw this video i clicked instantly
YES!
@@Guitargate please do a Frank zappa review!!
Man, that line you said, “you get it wrong until you get it right”. Boy that hit hard and I thought that was so powerful. Words of wisdom! Thank you for that.
You got a lil vulnerable here buddy! I love the lack of bullshit and false bravado on this page! Three chords and the (sometimes messy) truth. Myself and your other subscribers enjoy the content but YOU are the key ingredient here! The context makes the content pop!!!
Yes man, couldn't say it any better, that's exactly the reason i always come back to this channel.
Amazing he can sing it without crying. . . I can’t even listen to it and read the lyrics to myself without losing it.
Just fantastic.
That little solo you added in made me cry man. Beautiful.
Can't believe you just played Moreland! Thank you he's one of my all time favorites!
ding
P.s... All things are possible. My wife and I were married for 7 years, separated for 7 years, and then got back together (through the oddest events) and now, I’m happy to say we’ve been back together now for....7 years. 🤝
We have 2 beautiful children together. Ages 21 and 24.
There you go my friend.
Beautiful story! Love a happy ending! Never lose hope!
Ah yes, I too have an obsession with 7/4 and also love King Gizzard
My wife filed for divorce a couple weeks ago, blindsided me. I’m hoping we get a redemption story like this...
@@michaelhutcheson8313 I wonder how you are right now
I found this song right when my wife and I were going through a very, very rough patch in our marriage. I was sitting on my deck and played this song about 10 times and cried harder each time. I wanted to shut it off but I kept hitting repeat. It was cathartic to just be able to empty my mind, heart and soul for that brief moment in time.
It was this line that got me:
"I dreamt I'd take you with me. And you'd say you forgive me, and we'd live out some easy ancient song"
I have a tough time listening to this song, even today...but I do. And I love it. And it makes me remember who I need to be.
It's been a long time since I was moved to tears from a song. The expressions on your face were real Michael.....
Dang
John Moreland is one of the few songwriters ive found that has mastered the art of translating emotion into words. Writing songs that make you feel like theres a blanket of sorrow and sadness draped over you.
Check out old blue october.
John, Whiskey Myers and cody jinks are my favorite songwriters
@@matthewcombs9059 hate me is probably the most emotional and honest song I've ever heard
If you identify with this Moreland tune try to sing it without choking up. I dont see how he does it. Amazing.
The way John even phrases the title is sad/beautiful in such a passionate way. 2nd verse is pure poetry...'we lie here unattended in splendid loves remembrance..you've lost the mind to even do me wrong'..when the passion is gone and she won't even entertain your bullshit anymore..get outta me feelings john!
Great tune, Michael. But please... PLEASE check out his song “Blacklist.” Even without making a video. Just give it a listen. My favorite song ever written.
John Moreland “Cherokee”. That song is also awesome.
Cherokee, Break My Heart Sweetly, No Glory in Regret. Everything of his is great, but his acoustic stuff is ALWAYS fire.
@@MegaCasperC You probably did that anyway, but make sure you also listen to "Hang Me in the Tulsa County Stars".
"And babe, I know
This life will make you cold and drive you mad
Leave you homesick for a home you never had
Burnin' out the good with all the bad"
Just so fucking beautiful.
The first date with my wife was in high school in '89. We were married young and had our first child young. There were years there, many, where we were only together due to inertia. Our 20s sucked. Today I can't imagine being with anyone else. We're not just a part of each others lives, we're a part of each others beings. It took work and change and fights and tears. But here we are.
Bless you! Love hearing stories of people sticking it out!
That's almost exactly the same story as mine. Thanks for sharing. Great song. Had to hold back the tears.
Exactly...
Inspirational,needed that now Brother!
This has ben in my Playlist for years. Beautifully haunting. The truth and pain.
That's it.
I feel blessed to have just recently got the privilege to see him play live in Seattle. I was standing there watching him thinking how lucky I was to be able to experience seeing him play live. He is the real deal.

I’m lucky enough to also be from Tulsa as Moreland. Guy is the real deal and I’m glad to see people finding his music. Thanks for everything!
John Moreland is an incredible singer-songwriter. He has an endless amount of songs just as great as this one. HIs first four solo albums are all fantastic.
Can’t not cry every time I hear this song. Thank you for breaking it down for us
John Moreland writes songs that cut through your soul. I ain't going to lie the dude will make you cry. Very under appreciated.
Get chills everytime I hear the first verse
"so here's to hoping I can change tomorrow" is the most heartbreaking lyric I think I've ever heard in my life
These are seriously awesome. I'm a classical and acoustic guitarist, and these are simply the best videos for not only reactions.. but learning a bit about the song, getting deep into the tune, and hearing a bit on your perception of the lyrics. I love it man. I have found SO many good artists through this chanel. Thank you!!! You have my subscription.
Woah man, you spoke what I haven’t been able to
Me and my fiancé have split and have two beautiful boys together
But it’s turns sour at times regardless the efforts we put in
She left because I’m now in a wheelchair and I understand it’s too hard for her
But like you said we don’t change
Although change can be good me and my ex were in a rut of sourness although we craved for us both to come down from that mountain
I’ve been on self destruct since.... I feel every part of pain he sings
Since my accident guitar has been sooo difficult for me now but I’ll get back to where I was just without using my guitar like Ben Howard now
Thank you for this ! 🙏🏼
How you doing buddy. Hope you and your sons are well and loving life
Hope you’re doing well man

This song is heavy. Breathe it in. This is art.
I love this song so much. You can feel the pain in his singing. All song writers should strive to make you feel like you do in this song.
Stopped what I was doing just to watch this video, such a beautiful performance and song
Married for 10 years, divorced 2 years ago, my son lives in a different state now... I know the feelings... However, it is an amazing experience. 🤗 Love to all.
Damn...those lyrics CUT THE SOUL LIKE A KNIFE..WOW....
Totally
John Moreland has come a long way, but has been a local favorite singer-songwriter in Tulsa, Oklahoma for years!
I can tell when Michael is bout to cry, he start playing with the music to distract himself.
That guitar will let you cry in ways that your eyes won't!
Woah, that really got me. Thanks, never heard of him.
Yeah brother.
This song is soooo good. Its my lullaby that I sing to my daughters. I change a few words, but its still true to meaning. They love the song. Can't stay awake during it.

Songs like this one are few and far between. Damn it brings a tear nearly every time I hear it. Thank you for making this video
It sure I’ve ever seen a crowd so focused on a performance. Ever. Heartbreaking and brilliant and perfect somehow all at the same time…./
I care enough for you to cry John. I wanna cry every time I listen to this song. Thanks for breaking it down, Mr. Palmisano.
Always!!
Whatever it is you're doing there in that intro is beautiful ... As is John Moreland
My friend shared one of your videos today and when I got home after work I sat and watched many. I should have had my own reaction video watching yours.

I just now found John Moreland. Wow!! Thank you for giving the detailed insight of this song.
Splendid interpretation of the song. Nicely done and thank you!
Me and my girl have a somewhat similar story. Split for 5 years she moved to Colorado from new york. We were volatile. But never lost contact. She moved back and we have been together for 6 years again. Good shit brudda ty!
One of my favorite songs. It takes real perspective to encapsulate the struggles you live through in a song.
My life right there just now but not forever. Amazing song.
Legend. Beautiful guitar, beautiful lyricist. John Moreland. Thanks for reacting.
Man, I've been waiting on this one, and you did not disappoint! Thanks so much! I had requested this one back on a live show in May, and I loved watching your reaction. Been a Moreland fan for years, and love watching him hit people right in the feels. This guy is the real deal. Thank you sir!
Heard this for the first time 2 nights ago. Had his songs on repeat since. My 6 year old loves his music too.

You have shown me one of the best songs I’ve heard, thank you so much
Found this video about a year ago and I couldn't find it after the first time hearing it. I'm so glad you did this reaction!!
Even if you are in a great relationship now, this song takes you back to that ONE love that just fell apart.
I chanced upon a video in an endless facebook scroll and heard a live version of this song.

First time listener, in a dark place just now, this song resonates, as does seeing empathy in others, thank you Sir
I've loved this song for some time now. It's really nice to see someone with your platform spreading the word of how incredible he is. You clearly feel his pain too which made this video so genuine feeling.
“and when they give u a piece of theirs... that’s with u forever too” damn son
What a beautiful intro riff. Real melodic
Bro he paralyzed you right out of the gate hahaha. I love it!!! Your face looked like I felt the first time I heard this song.
This song and your channel came at a special time in my life years ago. Thank you both.
It sure is a fantastic song. So beautifully written. Masterpiece.
Adore this song. Didn't expect this reaction but so glad you did! Great video!
I appreciate so much that lyrics can resonate with you even more than the actual music. Thanks for all you do.
Michael I'm a beginner I watch for new artist's. Thankyou for being a real man and sharing your life experiences with the hopes of helping someone. Thanks again brother.
Right on Jim. Thx!!
I Watched her pack it all up this morning. Sww her and my boy drive off to whatever is next for them. There wasn’t any more anger or hurt in her eyes or if there was she hid it like a pro. I was real proud of her for how she conducted herself. Be good to those that let you in if you don’t they will eventually leave you sitting there wishing you could have done things different.
One of my all time favorite songs
Love this guys reaction to the song. A true music lover.
Beautiful & authentic to the point of no return.
Thank you for sharing the realness of this song.
Thanks for doing this! One of my favourite songs.
Benjamin Tod has a new tune called 'What keeps me up now', truly amazing!
There's music and then there's John Moreland. There really is nothing quite like a kick to the gut that is a great John Moreland song.
Thank you for giving the gift of John Moreland's music to more people. What a beautiful God given talent. My wife an I just had our thirteenth anniversary, we also have four babies:) Best wishes to you and yours.

John Moreland is amazing.
Just discovered Moreland not too long ago, love his stuff!
I’ve never wanted to have a few beers with someone so bad.
I'm supposed to be working...but I see John Moreland on this channel and I have to take a half hour break right now.
One of the best songwriters out there..got to watch him play to mostly empty rooms years ago..glad to see him doing well..if his songs don't touch something in you , are you really alive..?
Your love of the music and the life was amazing

I came to hear you further illuminate the mysteries of how music brings us together and makes us feel, I didn't expect to leave with such an amazing and passionate explanation, which truly felt personal, of the intricacies of life and love. Thank you, both of you!
First of all. This is hand down my favourite version of this long. The way the audience buy into the song as Moreland lives every second makes it special. Everyone one has been there at some point. Where you don’t want to give up but your entire body or mind is telling you it’s useless because a bad reaction is better than no reaction at all in your mind.
Secondly thank you for breaking this down it a song that made me want to pick up the guitar again. More importantly thank you for your vulnerability.
John is one of my favorite songwriters. I know this video is old, but I would like you to listen to one of his older tunes called "God's Medicine" off the album: In the Throes. It's tied with this song as personally hard hitting for me.
This song still breaks me in half. Blacklist is the other song. I started to heal from abuse after hearing these two songs one morning at 5am. I needed to hear them and one sleepless night I found them. Good luck to good people. Spent two days learning those songs in agony. Thank god for my guitars. They haven't let me down. Real love... 40 years.
Dont stress about sharing Michael, shows us you're human and have emotions like the rest of us :)
I feel this guy's music,I don't just hear 👂it,that hadn't happened to me for a while,until I came across this beautiful song!👌
YAAAAAAAS! I have been waiting for this since I found your channel
Thank you Michael. You've definitely been a game changer in my musical journey.
You get it wrong till you get it right. Powerful thought. Sometimes you exhaust everything. You hope you hit a soft bottom not a hard loose everything bottom. Sometimes hard to shake the ghost that'll take you down. I love your enthusiasm but really enjoyed your open heart. I got it right finally glad you did to.
Hey God bless you man for sharing some of you and your wife's story. Not to mention thank you for showing me this wonderful song.
