About Arlo:
Gifted singer-songwriter Arlo McKinley released his debut solo record at age 40 on John Prine’s Oh Boy records - after he almost gave up on music altogether. McKinley’s album, Die Midwestern, is deeply rooted in street soul, country, punk, and gospel and draws on personal stories, set against the backdrop of his hometown of Cincinnati Ohio. McKinley recorded ten remarkable songs - some dating back fifteen years - all penned with a weight, honesty and gritty-hope that comes from living in the rustbelt city where his songs were born. He pursued a solo career from 2014, with his own band The Lonesome Sound and achieved some success including a nomination for Album of the Year, Songwriter of the Year and Best Americana Act from the Cincinnati Music Awards, but his career stalled and he almost gave up altogether, “I don’t know why the world works the way it does but I’m beyond grateful to be in this situation.” McKinley stated, adding, “ I’m a little wiser in my ways and a 20 something me would’ve found a way to destroy the one dream that has stuck with me my entire life. Being a working musician.” Arlo McKinley is the last artist John and his son Jody signed together to their label Oh Boy records.

Lyrics:
Everyone’s talking but no one is saying a thing
It was all that I knew how to do to help comfort the pain
With my drunken solutions
At least for a moment they’re gone
Pretending that everything’s fine
Knowing damn well it’s wrong
Still I don’t want no one to tell me what’s right
I’ll make up my own mind
My own mind tonight
The ghosts that still haunt me
I’ll fight one by one
Till the hurtin is done
I hide from anxiety
I never stay hidden for long
Learned to self-medicate
And how to wait until the panic is gone
So I hide behind smiles
And whatever else gets me through
I’m not knowing what’s waiting for me
Or what I ought to do
Still I don’t want no one to tell me what’s right
I’ll make up my own mind
My own mind tonight
The ghosts that still haunt me
I’ll fight one by one
Till the hurtin is done
No we don’t want no one
To tell us what’s right
We’ll make up our own minds
Our own minds tonight
The ghosts that still haunt us
We’ll fight one by one
Till the hurtin is done
Till the hurtin is done

Holy shit I’m so glad to be clean today. I ugly cried though this whole thing. Don’t stay sick and suffering. If I can do it so can you. 🙏
You are strong and worthy Shannon
Good luck in your recovery. You are not alone!
I'm suffering in silence tonight laying on this couch. Those little white pills have had me for 10 or more years. It's been 24 hrs since my last ones. And I can bearly have the will to get up. I don't know how much longer I can take this. But I'm sick of planning my days on the number of pills I have. I really hope this is the last time I quit. But can't picture my life with out that bottle of pills.
@@fd3144 hey, man. stop white knuckling it and contact someone. Even if its just me as a stranger on the internet. talk it out and work through it with someone.
@@fd3144 what are you trying to get off?? Been clean from speed for 12yrs... Oxy for just short of a year but I can't get away from the Xanax and it's literally cost me everything
This man is so underrated
Under-known
Love you man even if I'm crazy JS
Im 7 yrs clean now. This song describes exactly what active addiction is like. I was medicating all the trauma, and anxiety. I chose to heal the wrong way. Thank God Im clean
Congratulations on your sobriety 🧡
This man sings with his soul and his soul touches the heart love it 2:10 am. 1-10-23 wife’s doing chemo
Sending love you and your wife's way- glad that you came across this and felt moved by Arlo's work❤
Hey man, came to check in in on you. Hope all is well.
Start another round today, it’s all good cause God’s got us and she’s doing great, thanks guys
Great song but ur 1 in 10 million boo hoo songs. Do something different
Hoping for all the best man, nothing I love more than the story of a survivor!
The ghosts that still haunt me, I'll fight one by one til the hurtin'' is done
Ain't that the truth
@@christopherpitt6317 That's all you can do!
Who the hell down voted this masterpiece?
Me lol
Probably some little freak that has Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus posters plastered all over their bedroom walls. You know, that type.
people that like bro country
Love y’all ❤️❤️❤️
Idiots apparently
After years of self meditation (pills, cocaine,and alcohol) , memories still haunt... This song is So so powerful , actually cried and thanked Christ for loving me and helping me through it. Every day is a battle. Thank you Arlo for sharing your songs
My therapist’s name is Arlo McKinley
Arlo McKinley music has helped me as much as a therapist thank you Arlo McKinley
Shew, Im tellin' you, you ain't lying.
Mine too
If this were a r shirt, I’d damn sure buy it.
My wife died unexpectedly at 57,August 11th. This song makes the tears flow. It's beautiful ❤
20 yrs sober and clean . I struggle still everyday with depression and lately all i want to do is give up go back to self medicating
Kudos to the guy on the pedal steel. This vibe isn't the same without out.
For real
fuckin eh!
Currently swirling the crown. Til the hurting is done at least for tonight, I'll make up my own mind.
As a driving instructor and parent, please be safe hon, and dont let a bottle full of oblivion overshadow this beautiful life we get one chance to live ... Happy trails!
@@codemannix Thank you for your kind response
I lost my only son to cancer at 18 months. I received divorce papers after a 25 year marriage 2 years ago. I have been rescued twice from suicide attempts. I met a women after loosing every single little item in life. She gave me a the opportunity to father an unborn child with no father in sight. 8 months later I can feel it coming again.
So I stand out side in the cold and the rain trying to make this shit hole of an apartment seem like a home. And listen to this song over and over and over again.
Thank you for your honesty In the songs you play.
Jesus man. I hope every thing is ok. Music like this can save a life.
Hope you’re good bud
When I am hurting i lash out its my way of coping with the lie's& the pain.💔. Anxiety is a true disease and some just don't understand!!!!!!!!!!!!NO ONE !!
Being sober is gracefully abundant blessings
Ummm. Needed to read that brother! Thanks man.
Arlo is one of the best artists to come out within the last decade. Incredible songwriter and singer. One of the best live shows I’ve ever seen. Can’t wait to see more off of Die Midwestern!
I know I’m not the only man that shead some tears listenin to this 🙏🏼 keep on keepin on man, the music will set you free
His music is as beautiful as life itself ❣️ God bless ❤️
Ur not the only one.. still ain't sober. Just so hard since the army.
Nope you are not…
It wasn't/isn't a choice. Didn't wanna say or do shit. I lit a cigarette and a world of trouble in the mind pushed the clutch in with a bullfrog in my throat after getting this album, Arlo said with no negotiating, tears are comin. I shifted into 5th and put it on cruise and got in the right lane while I tried to remember the last time I'd cried or the last time I'd heard such a masterpiece. This song and this version right here makes me want to take a dirt nap but be glad I've got up everyday just the same and that's difficult
Correct
Love that Steele guitar.
Hope this song touches the ones that need this... please hang in there..come back to the fold of the ones that love and cherish you..this song is totally on mark!
If you struggle with depression and have a tough time telling others, don't be afraid to reach out and ask us how we been. Trust me, your loved ones need to hear your voice and know you're good, shit... Even I would love to know. How are you?
if i’m being honest, i really ain’t doing good right now. A girl who i’m in love with who i’ve known my whole life had to move away. Her parents are divorced and she was having issues with her mom’s boyfriend so she moved to her dad’s which is really far away. It happened four months ago and I feel like I haven’t been able to to be happy ever since. I’m sorry for telling my life story lol but I really needed to talk to someone about it. I really appreciated that you wanted to know how a random person like me was doing
@@wyattheitkamp55 You will be okay. If she's the one then nature will take its course.
Anxiety and depression is ruling my life just now,, hard to shake off,, so I Bury my head and try to dream of better days when I can see my kids again,, all i pray for is for them to look up to me one day 💚💚💚💚
Lost cause seems.
I am somewhere between hell and doing fine. I get up everyday, and just make my way.
Glad to hear from you Cody! How are u?? I hope the sun is shining for u today!
Thank u for ur presence 😊!!

Someone in the comments said this is "hauntingly beautiful" and I think that perfectly describes it. No matter what you've been through, you can still choose to keep fightin'
ONLY way to go!
No flight HERE! All fight...
You rock my brother you remind me of my Uncle John anytime you need a backup man just look down I'm short sure here I am peace love and happiness

making OHIO proud Arlo! Love it.
OH
“O……….H”! Stipe! 🥊
Arlo I can’t get over this song man , i related with this song more than any other song in 34 years man I’ve listened to it 10x now at least . This is a “Tuesdays gone” competitor no joke. This takes the cake man thank you for pouring it like this . This song will forever be heard at least 4x a week til the Hurtin is done 🙏
Anyone that writes a song like that has to have hurt pretty damn bad and been in a deep place. I know I'm there now. My girlfriend of 18years died, 10 days later my best friend died then 2 weeks later my mom died 💔 😢 all unexpected. It sucks bad. I'll pray for you Arlo I feel your pain. Thanks for the song🎵
For what words from a random stranger on the internet are worth, I'm so sorry. Nobody deserves to go through such horrific loss and pain like that. I hope you can eventually fight your way through that horrible pain. Keep fighting partner
Go further man!! It sounds like you are a very strong man. Go trough the days and live happy like they being watching you. I have not doubts
@@melgibsonafter10beers q
Chuck Smith wow brother hate to hear of such losses my heart and soul goes out to ya. I've lost both parents a brother who was my best friend and lost best friends and now a girlfriend but not all close together as you have but I feel for ya my friend. May all their memories and laughs that you shared with them give you the strength and peace you need to get thru each day. My thoughts and prayers to you and family. God Bless & God speed.✌💪
Been there once. My brother, 6 months later one best friend, 8 months later my other. The world was a real lonely place for a hot minute
Man I fucked up on May 14th. I overdosed on some pills (accidentally) I snorted a little too much oxy and it stopped my heart. Long story short, I woke up a week later in the MICU on life support. Your song has made this grown man cry dude. Thank you sir, for your words.
Hang in there my friend. We are all doing our best to be our best. You are not alone in this
You got this, man. Keep strong. Everyone fucks up sometimes. 💜
Wow well said something similar to that just happened to me last month I'm 31 days here today sobar and alive god is good glad you still here my friend no don't give up cuz your journey does not end here yesterday is gone tomorrow's not here so let's just live for today and not worry about tomorrow...
Prayers for you sure hope you have the love help and support you need . Remember we never walk alone !
I hope you're well today, friend. My best friend overdosed a few years ago when I was living 3,000 miles away on the west coast. Cheers to you for sharing.
I think this is the greatest song ever made..
I’ve been suffering from horrible anxiety for years. So much so now that I have a hard time leaving the house. Words in this song gave me so much comfort and hope that things can get better. Thank you for this!
My brother lost his life to drugs fri and we are in so much pain this song he loved and it fits him perfect he lived with his demons for years and was finally getting his life back together but the ole devil got to him
So sorry for your loss, Donna.
i just heard this song tonight for first time, ive listened to it maybe 20 times now , cried some , laughed some, this is a beautiful song prolly best ive ever heard, i felt this on a personal level deeper than any other song, sure your brother did too, we all just trying to make it til the hurtins done, may your bro rest in peace man.
Caught Arlo recently as an opener for Lucero. I wish I could say I didn't drink so goddamn much that I could remember half the songs they played, but I'll be damn if Mr. McKinley didn't make an impression.
Gets ya right where it counts ....ugh...I love real fuckin country
This song makes me think of my son struggling with depression, anxiety and alcoholism and it makes me cry. I have tried so many times to help. I have nothing left. I'm so broken...for myself... for him. The pain is so overwhelming that now I hide with a smile and cry when I'm alone. I pray, one day, he will find his way back. I can't help him. I so want to...but there's nothing left inside me to give without completely breaking. Sadly, I wait for the phone call one day...any parents going through what I am knows what that statement means and are probably hiding their broken pieces like I do. I understand what he is going through. I myself struggled with addiction for many years and it took YEARS to overcome them. I think those of us who have struggled and then raised a child who is struggling, it hurts deeper because we know the real pain they are experiencing and how deep that hurt is...I would never wish that on anyone.
What can we as parents do? We reach out, we are told things, made promises, we get our hopes up, we want to trust you that things will change now and then all over again we are broken into pieces...and then you become "the ghosts that still haunts us, we fight one by one, till the hurtin is done, till the hurtin is done"...
As a man I was taught to keep my feelings inside but this song let's it out can't help myself
just done chemo. then stem cell. i heard this song. could feel it leave my body. love it
Make up my own Mind
Ghost will always be there
Chose to Fly
Much respect Arlo McKinley
Been clean for 23 years in October. I sometimes feel sad when I listen to certain songs, but nothing like the pain I felt while trying to run away with cocaine. I am writing my story and man was I screwed up as a kid and young adult. It's funny how different things look years later when reflecting on one mortality.
The only thing from Ohio I've ever liked..changed my option of the hole state...good music 🎵🎶
This song come at a time couldn't been more healing for me I almost lost my oldest son a month ago today they already had him on the helicopter he finally came around this is taking me down just know you're so gifted my son was to I'm so ready to give up but you're music brings me back for strength God bless you pray for my son
Wow! This song is for me after I suddenly lost my husband! Ive found still 9 yrs later the hurting is not done! Love this song Im more rock n roll and some country and this is one of those!
Die Midwestern is one of the saddest, but also one of the best albums of all time
I can't figure out how to like this 1M times. 😀
We're just flattered you're trying. Thanks, man!
1st time hearn ths guy & DAMN👏💜💯
We're pleased to make the introduction! Another tune from Arlo is headed your way tomorrow...
Damn this hits hard. I live this. Every day, I still boot up, slap a smile on my face and keep other laughing. I can't stand to see others hurting but I cant stop myself. Blessings to my therapist s and my docs for listening.
The crap is real but this song and the comments shows we are not alone ! Love the boot up !
BE~U~TO~FULL 🙌🤟✌️
It isn't easy.
I did the therapy, doctors, and religion thing, too. I don't dismiss it at all because I have duel diagnosis, but the thing that really made a difference was talking to other addicts in recovery. NA literature says the therapeutic value of one addict helping another is without parallel. It's so true. Love you honey. It can be better!
@@wiseriverhealing TY 4 U 🙏 this rings the bells 👌 went back to rooms bout 5 DayZ ago & met up with someone I swore was dead & the peeps there (along with the godsend of my therapist) stopped a BAD mainia 👍 Blessings Beyond Blessings 🙌
You're song makes me want to keep trying God bless you
Felt that
@@tylermitchell5525 👂
Saw the D thought did i write that already wow my thoughts exactly this morning even sober
@Deborah Tarpley That's Awesome 💯🤘
Keep trying its worth it i promise
My man! Outlaw Hymns! The boys on the block are still walking the streets to these lullabies
Thank you for watching, Justin!
A seemingly magical grasping of the taproot within us all. Pure distillation on the condition of pharmakai self abuse .
We need to get his music to go viral
Awww, Jesus, Arlo...... I'm leakin' here. Brother, thank you - for being you, for talkin' truth.
This is a safe space, man! Thanks for watching.
I cried more to this when I was using. Now I still relate, its a battle anyone who says it ain't. Has not suffered thru the why's of using anything. See he knows how to wait till the panic is gone. Hard to love an addict. God bless us all
Song smacks me in the face, what I'm dealing with now. Played it for my wife, she said was this written for you. Listen to that song and all his others everyday. Keeping me on the right road.
We keep hearing again and again that Arlo has written so many people's story with this one. The power of music, man! Thanks for watching
That pedal steel! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
SO good
I am struggling really bad right now. My husband of 8 years just up amd left with my kid unexpectedly and took my kid. I have no idea where they are at or even if they are okay. I picked up old habits and can't seem to cut it. I'm broken inside! This is beautiful!
reached my soul brother thanks for the break of thoughts lost in the song ..........
Im 41, this is the first time I had a song hit me like that.
A man who lived, a man who's cried, a mans who's music will never die
The struggle is real. Thanks for the tune Arlo.
Love again N again N again N again
Lost my best friend (my Dad) on 6/28/21....that steel guitar and His voice / lyrics just rip my guts out and bring down the tears Everytime!! Its helpful in the healing so I've heard....i dont ever think this will heal!!
Thanks for the hauntingly Beautiful song Arlo!!
Just heard this song for the 1st time...how does a song just fit you so perfectly like this one does
We're glad you discovered it with us. Thanks for watching!
You stole my thought
I couldn't agree more
Facts !!!
Because you loved that Girl So Darn much!!!
Not really sure how these comments work if i will get notified. But my son lost his battle with the "ghost" almost two years ago. I feel as though his and my ghost are weighing me down now. But till the pain is gone. Im past depression it just pisses me off now. Hearing this slow melody makes me slow down. Thank you for writing this. Hope you find your happiness soon.
1 year ago this was written. I'm still listening and appreciative
Saddest song I’ve ever heard. Hauntingly beautiful. Says the things I couldn’t say. Woke up from a bad dream to a life I didn’t plan. Few things seem right most are wrong, but this song is a good one. Waltz in the kitchen with a beer in my hand
Bless you brother and I second everything you said
I agree. Simply cuz i could have wrote it myself. Perfectly describes how i'm an overthinker who deals with anxiety and this song triggered a break down for me.
The saddest one i just heard is called leaving up to me
This song hit my soul.
I'm a good ole country boy from WV love it defiently hits the heart
Great song
If this was only about drugs but it's not. Keep writing, playing, and signing. Thank you.
Truth
Can't wait to see him at The Rooster Tail in IN!!!
Pretending to be happy I'll make up my own mind tonight the ghost that still haunt me learning still I'm a mess but it's mine to decide till the hurting done mabey tonight as the tears stream down everyone's talking but Noone is saying a 🤔 this one gets me floating thank you for this one
Arlo made me cry.
We all have our Ghosts, and hide from the hurting. I may not have struggles with addiction but life is still so hard. Family man; two kids, a wife, and my one income. Man life sure is hard. Be nice to be appreciated for the hard work. I'll continue to self medicate, hide behind my smiles, and keep working myself into the grave. It is what it is ain't nothing gonna change.
I'm fine.No more hurting!!!!!!! It's my life .......Hits home and to my dearest Larry Wayne bubba you're no longer hurting rip my friend
Still listening to this song should be a number one hit
Thanks for keeping it on repeat!
No more numbing the pain!!!! I am so much more than you think and way more worth it than you will ever know Praying one day you heal and stop crushing ppls spirits you can lie to everyone else but not to me anymore God knows it and sees it all and hes always watching and waiting for you JESUS heals
Him and Tyler Childers should duet together seriously 😁😁
As long as we can record & film it!
@@OurVinyl sounds like a plan to me
That or Amigo the Devil 😝
💯
They are both playing at Healing Appalachia September 24 in Lewisburg WV.
Omg.. My heart just sank...😭... I lost my brother to drinking just over a month ago... I had no idea what was wrong... I wish I could get those few days back... I'm lost... He always had my back always no matter if I fucked up or not... I miss you My Brother Mr. Mark Montoya
Oh Arlo..
Every lyric is like someone two stepping on my heart. I dig it though..I'm a musical masochist.
I think this is the best steal guitar player I've ever heard
First time hearing of this artist. Thanks for the music OurVinyl Sessions!
That's what it's all about! Thanks for the comment, Nick.
Life has been hard on me,so much abuse as a child,physical abuse in first marriage,cheating in second marriage and then thought i met someone special,he broke my heart,so much depression, this song is right I fight ghost and depression daily. My husband died in February, my daughter died in September.
This guy is the best therapist. Can’t stop listening.
Every damn time!😢 my dark little heart just shatters
What a song! There is no one who stirs the soul like Arlo.
You must not have heard of Zach Bryan then... He's the best out right now!
@@markdruck I love Zach...you are comparing Apples and Oranges. There are lots of talented musicians...I am allowed to say who I think stirs MY soul and you are too. It is wonderful to have so many choices.
I heard this song the night I hit rock bottom. It hasn’t been long, but I’m learning to love myself again. I’m learning to love the people that have stayed in spite of it all. I came back today, 6 months clean and sober, to find the song so much more beautiful then it was back then.
The comforting power of music 🧡 Thanks for watching and re-listening.
Hope your still clean brother.
One has to love themselves indeed before anything else has a chance
2023 recap this is my top song, thank you Arlo you helped me out more than I could possibly express in a time where I felt so alone with my way of thinking until I heard your music and I was like hey this guy gets it this fella gets me hitting the nail on the head so to speak with my feelings and putting my mind at ease. And pulled me out of a very dark time when I felt so unclear of what was next for me, at the same time it's ok to be here in the dark if until I am ready to push forward
Cheers brother, and I wish you all the best 🫶
Such a special artist. Few have such an authentic voice.
I can't figure out how to triple like this song.
Damn brother , thanks for beautiful song
This song hits deep
Glad I found this man awhile back. He sings to a part of you most can't reach.
If we're honest, I think we can all relate. It's the truth...and he sings it so beautifully....absolutely perfection 💙
Thank you watching, Christy!
@@OurVinyl - Absolutely!! Thank you!:)

In the realm of some of the greats ever.
Wow! Hauntingly beautiful!
why can I only like this once???
We'll have new songs from this session out soon for you to like ;)
Sing it brother!
I listened to this song and a few others each morning after doing ayahuasca in Baja, Mexico.. I can't tell you how much more things make sense. I can tell you that years of anxiety was released through the process and tears. Intention is everything.
Dude is gold. Local boy too. Gotta love that
I just stumbled across this, and cried all the way through. I feel this to my core... Beautiful! Thank you for the music. I'm now a fan for sure.
Dude this is the most beautiful song I’ve ever heard man i related to this so much thank you
