    I think I’m aligned with 73 people in this world. I’m kinda happy about that but ultimately sad. How does this have only 73 comments, last one years ago. Fill the world with Molina y’all.

    Capo 2: C G Am F G most of the way, G Dm for "I ain't looking for that easy way out", then back to C G Am F G at the end. A great song by the greatest songwriter alive on the planet today.

      Always was one of my favorite lyrics of his; he didn't stick with the "woe is me" cliches in all his heartbreak songs nor did he play the blame game. I miss his prolific output, if only he could have made it simple again and stuck around...

    • @AbusiveAntitheist
      @AbusiveAntitheist 9 років тому +13

      Vappie Dappiddy-dap Molina made the "woe is me" cliche detached completely from the simplistic premise behind how a lot of people tend to whine in such a manner. He seemed like he kept a lot of his life private and sang about it in a vague poetic manner, but he also made it relate to a lot of people, when really he was probably worse off than he led on even in his music. He reminds me of a syd barrett of the blues instead of psychedelic rock. Syd often said he thinks the best songs are sang in a way that can be interpreted in many different ways, while jason may have sung about alcoholism or maybe drugs a girl or something else a lot of them can relate to any aspect of "feeling the blues" He was a lyrical genius

    Obscure in his own time, future generations will stand in awe of Molina's natural abilities. Which in a way is for the best, a lack of corporate infiltration will lead to more being moved emotionally from the grassroots. Get Well Jason.

    You never hear me talk about one day getting out
    Why put a new address on the same old loneliness
    Everybody knows where that is
    We built that house of his
    And when he's not home
    Someone else you know always is
    If Heaven's really coming back
    I hope it has a heart attack
    When they see how dangerous it is for guys like that
    The night has always known when it's time to get going
    When it's really been so long that it starts showing
    It's always had that ghost who always almost
    Tells me the Secret
    How there's really no difference in who he was once
    And who he's become
    Everything you hated me for Honey there was so much more
    I just didn't get busted
    But I'm not looking for an easy way out
    This whole life it's been about
    Try and try and try
    And try and try and try
    To be simple again
