    There is hope now for Country Music. Its been a very long time since anyone in Country music talked to my soul. There is hope!

      Late response, I know, but I grew up having country because a lot of popular country is terrible. Bo Burnham's country song is exactly what I thought about most country. Then I discovered JRW, and artists like him. Completely changed my viewpoint. I'm still not a big country fan, but damn, if more country was like this I just might be.

    This, to me, is the definition of beauty in sadness. Mr Walker, you sir, are an earth angel. Thank you.

    So original. Music like this can't and won't be heard on the radio because it is just too damn beautiful and heartbreaking. Joshua is the real deal. It has been decades since I've been moved like this by any music, not since Townes VanZandt, Guy Clark or John Prine. Bless you Joshua.

    I had lots of family pass. Todays my best friends birthday. We were friends since kindergarten. He’d be 31 today. For some reason this makes me feel whatever it is I feel.
    I’m also a musician. I will learn this song.

    Lyrics:
    I'd stare at my reflection through bottles behind the bar
    I didn't know hate could feel this good behind the wheel of a car
    Might put this truck in neutral, let roll into the lake but first I'll finish off this bottle so it looks like a mistake
    Holy name strengthens the beast
    Be lucky if you're in one piece
    Holy name strengthens the beast
    Oh Lord, please give me peace
    I loved you from the get go
    You saved me from a funeral pyre
    I told you I loved you
    You called me a liar
    Yeah, I've carried fire and I've waded through a flood
    You dragged me on the wire, he bathed me in the blood
    Holy name strengthens the beast
    Be lucky if you're in one piece
    Holy name strengthens the beast
    Oh Lord, please give me peace
    How long? How long are you going to make me wait?
    How long? How long are you going to make me wait?
    How long? How long are you going to make me wait?
    How long? How long are you going to make me wait?
    I might put this truck in neutral and let it roll into the lake but first I'll finish off this bottle so it looks like a mistake

      Only thing I can get out of it is maybe the Lord is what strengthens him (the beast) to not actually follow through with a suicide.
