I’m so messed up , how can I listen to a song like the River that brings me to my knees in tears from fighting my personal army of demons and the next song he gives you hope to over come the disparity and leave me feeling selfish for not being grateful for every minute we have here ?
How very true. If you ever need a friend,or an ear , I’m Michele,from Ontario Canada. I care . It’s ok,I feel the same way. I’ve been through hell ,but your words are so true. This song is awesome. The River is incredible. 😭, but this is Awesome. Brighter Days is Cool too .
I hear you! The way I see it is The River is about God's mercy - the River of Mercy - for all of us, especially those of us who have fallen the farthest. Only This River - Mercy - can save us from ourselves. After you come to understand that, then you love every minute you are alive. JJ has a way of pulling you through even the worst of times and back on to steady ground. Amazing song writer, amazing performer.
Thank you for all your kind words and inspiration, I guess his deep lyrics have a way of facing our demos and engaging others for support. The bonus is the beautiful music he makes and how lucky we are to be here now to enjoy it ! Like it was sent from above for me to stumble upon ?
THANK GOD he's not on the radio!!!! Garbage fans who are sheep when it comes to music would fill up his concerts. If you only listen to the radio and don't search out new music, you don't deserve or can appreciate music like this on a different level. Just my opinion.
THATS BECAUSE IT HASNT BEEN INVENTED HERE YET IN EARTH!!! NOTHING HAS!!! THE DEVIL DOING BLACK MAGIC HAS PULLED THE PAST TO THE FUTURE AND MADE CLONES LOOK AND ACT LIKE REAL HUMANS TO CREATE HIS MUSIC TO PUT SUBLINGUAL MESSAGES IN THEM TO STEAL THE SOULS OF HUMANITY AND OUR KIDS WITHOUT EVEN KNOWING THEIR SELLING THEIR SOULS!!!! REHANA IS A CLONE SO IS KANYA WEST AND ELVIS AND JANIS JOP. ALL OF THEM ARE STILL IN THE PAST!! GOD SENT ME HERE TO PROVE THE PAST ISNT EVEN HERE ITS ENERGY FROM THE BACK MAGIC THAT HAS PULLED US INTO THE ILLUSION OF THE WORLD REALLY IN HELL THE MATRIX, BUT DONT WORRY GOD FUCKED THEM EVIL ASS TROLLS UP AND FOR GOOD TOO!!!! HEAVEN ON EARTH HERE WE COME❤😂😂😂😂
@@pdl46lundy55very true I had completely given up on today's rock and pop music then came alternative sources and for rock and roll is still doing just fine with navy new artist wasn't aware of at all .A REAL PLEASENT SURPRISE as I thunb through a collection roughly 300 of vynle disc and few small collection of CD. Music wasn't worth the purchase for a stint. With older siblings growing up in 60s and 70s. Me in the 80s being no 8 out of 9 I been exposed to a wide variety and get all those hand me downs. We we were young and going to concerts you didn't know you were going to witness many legendary performances. Just another rock show at the time. Justva sampling of ticket stubs in that circle thing. ROCK AND ROLL WILL NEVER DIE. PEACE OUT. CATCH YA ON THE FLIP SIDE KOOL KAT.
The bass player! Thats the attitude I want everyday of my life. Playing awesome music and happy to be alive. You can tell by the smile on his face that he loves it and he's right where he wants to be in life!
Agreed, so soulful. Pull up some Jerry Garcia Band and give it a spin. Shining Star. Mission in the rain. Simple twist of fate. Bright side of the road.
I tried so hard to be the person Everybody thought I was I pushed myself and everyone Almost over the edge This mirrored light that sends back Everything that you send out The grace you give, given back Loving every minute you live The evil deeds that we do Screaming from the headline Can't stop to read, or to watch ’cause I ain’t got the patience or time To live a life of despair To live by another man’s word It’s always been in your hands To live the life you want while you’re here These verses are so powerful and exactly the medicine I need. This song found me right as I've pushed myself and everyone to the edge trying to be the person someone else wanted me to be.
I just saw JJ Grey and Mofro for like the 15 th timelme a week and half ago... JJ was under weather. Because pollen and allergies. It was the anew small venue and just always. Mr. Higginbotham and the fellas blew the roof off they always do I was 15 - 20 feet from JJ . On some good shrrooms... We was having hippie church. Up in that joint and he rocked this... This is my jam Md played it second encore... He did 3 encores I think even sick
Are you freaking kidding me... damn that was excellent. This is the first time I've heard of these guys. The smiles on the musicians said all as they were just loving it, as I was. Good stuff indeed.
Bought “Meet the Beatles” LP in 1964, and have been listening ever since! There isn’t an abundance of great music right now… BUT as long as I got JJ, Larkin Poe, and Justin Johnson, I’m a happy guy!
Probably my all time favorite JJ videos. I love to see him being real and smiling...even though his mistakes. It makes this song that much better. By far my all time favorite 😍 ❤️
Wife and I have seen them live 4 times, can't wait for the fifth. Macon, GA indoor at older theatre auditorium; the best show we saw was in Wilmington, NC at an outdoor amphitheatre that was not too big but had great sound. All I can say is "Lochloosa you're on my mind" ;-)
JJ grey and mofro, pure genius. Love the squeel in this song. Not being perfect is pure perfection to me. Keep it real. Cant wait till the next time i see see jj grey & mofro. Pure awesomeness with pure soul!
I love this guy and all his music has brought me through so many troubled times. I died 4 times throgh being on a vent for 18 days. I came home without any physical therapy. This song the sun is shining down brought me through alot grief. And I play it every morning as well as my mix but it starts my day. Thank you JJ Grey and Micro. Keep on rocking! I'm coming too see you in concert or a little bar where ever your on my bucket list. I've already passed my life expectantcy last Sept of 2022.
His slight wince followed by the smile at 1:00 when he barely misses a note (I'm not criticizing in any way) followed by nailing the rest of the song shows what a great performer he is. I've seen them live a few times and can't wait to see them again!
He puts on the greatest concerts. He puts he’s HEART into it! It’s something SPECIAL TO Y’ALL!!! Go n you guys won’t be disappointed I Bet U it will be a Great Fucking Time HELL YEAH.THE MAN HAS SOUL 🤟🏻❤️ 🎸
Just want jj grey and mofro to know i couldnt of made it home without u guys vic's mom 1# fan for always grateful no matter what , and forever after thank u all and may god bless each and every one of you. Sincerely tye vic's mom

I love how the last few days I've been inspired to continue writing again best is yet to come
Love it when he says..."I don't have the patience time to live a lie of despair". Woman feel and think from the HEART ❤️. WE make TIME! Even when despair can't change time. We can change a lie because it's not in our head we think it's always in our heart that motivates our push for Life! It feels so good to be warmed by the Sun!

I am thouroughly dissapointed in the youtube algorythem for taking so long to recommend these guys. This is some damn fine music.
Spotify brought me to JJ, and I am so glad it did. They're extraordinary.
They really are so under known, so dang good
He puts on a great show! I highly recommend his concerts!

Amen bro he's the best I've heard in 30yrs got to have me some jj @mofro nothing like it
The only question I have is, Why don't we hear JJ on the radio?! One of the best unheard of artists out there.
Played almost every day on touch tunes at my favorite places 👍❤️
Because commercial radio SUCKS. Seen them live & they are only a tad below Blackberry Smoke as a great live show.
THANK GOD he's not on the radio!!!!
Garbage fans who are sheep when it comes to music would fill up his concerts.
If you only listen to the radio and don't search out new music, you don't deserve or can appreciate music like this on a different level. Just my opinion.

Only took me nine years to find this. I'm getting better.
They have some new stuff out now😎

Todd Smalley is a great guy!
Been watching him since DTB
Yeah he's great use to jam with Derek trucks back in the day
He's stoned lol
That's Bass Player Jesus
Someone said, closest to church ill ever get. I second that ;)
Agreed, so soulful. Pull up some Jerry Garcia Band and give it a spin. Shining Star. Mission in the rain. Simple twist of fate. Bright side of the road.
amen
I tried so hard to be the person
Everybody thought I was
I pushed myself and everyone
Almost over the edge
This mirrored light that sends back
Everything that you send out
The grace you give, given back
Loving every minute you live
The evil deeds that we do
Screaming from the headline
Can't stop to read, or to watch
’cause I ain’t got the patience or time
To live a life of despair
To live by another man’s word
It’s always been in your hands
To live the life you want while you’re here
These verses are so powerful and exactly the medicine I need. This song found me right as I've pushed myself and everyone to the edge trying to be the person someone else wanted me to be.
Sooo great....
I. Just. Love. These. Cats. Could be having the worst day, put these tunes on- instant smiling... A true gift
Me
This is what I call real music for the current modern time.
If you ever get the chance don’t pass up a show. Trust me!

Ive seen them about 6 times. They are amazing live. And now, they have a backup singer and full horn section.
Today is my first time to hear this band. Its a great day
They have some new stuff out now👍🤩
Bought “Meet the Beatles” LP in 1964, and have been listening ever since! There isn’t an abundance of great music right now… BUT as long as I got JJ, Larkin Poe, and Justin Johnson, I’m a happy guy!
Wow...the voice the looks the talent...the whole package 🥰
Check out Lochloosa. My favorite of theirs. Such a fantastic band. Seen them a few times over the years
Probably my all time favorite JJ videos. I love to see him being real and smiling...even though his mistakes. It makes this song that much better. By far my all time favorite 😍 ❤️

No, you killed me, so great🤩
Saw JJ GREY live on his tour at waterfest, Oshkosh WI. This guy has such energy and compassion. We loved every minute of it.

I agree, refreshing to listen to.
An honor to see so many talented musicians in a Acme liquid cannabis bus.
I definitely think something guided me to this wonderful band and I am so grateful
Loving every minute of this song… you guys are Awesome!!
Thanks for the good Vibes. ✌🏻😎
Just saw JJ and Mofro Sunday at his last show this tour at The Strand in York PA....first time, won't be the last time!
Ah man wish I would've known about these guys back then. Hope they come back
Artists are the Ultimate Immortals....Their Work lives On and Beyond...Themselves.
The Van is probably one of the best places to record ever! Anyone who I've ever heard record there it comes back phenomenal!!
Great band and a great recording. I have listened and watched this video 20+ times and I just keep coming back.
