International treasure! I am from Germany and "discovered" him today... and all I can say is WOW! I have shed a LOT of tears today listening to him... but it where those cleansing kinda tears where u fee so much better after the hurt! Thank you @John Moreland! you have created Music that helps people ALL AROUND THE WORLD
I love the honesty and humility in John’s voice. It’s rare these days to hear something that is deep lyrically, rich musically and resonates with the soul. A timeless gift that will be forever appreciated both now and for generations to come. I only wish more people stood still enough to stop and listen to John so that they didn’t need to feel so alone. Thanks John for keeping it real and non pretentious.
She doesn't even know she's in a music video. She's just having the time of her life with her daddy. I don't know whether my heart is broken or healed. Thank you for your production, John. It touches my soul.
I knew raven for years never knew he had a kid. I thought the same, it's the long hair. Nonetheless hes gonna be just like his dad and what a good role model of a father. Raven is a good person.
i have been listening to John Moreland now for about 4 years, it was on of those rare occasions where YT recommendations got it right i was listening to random songs while moping around the house i had lost my Dad in the February of that year he was 54 it was about a week after his funeral and the song that began to play was "Hang me in the Tulsa county stars" Dam near broke me that day but at the same time made my day, now i dont look up at night without thinking of my Dad. lots of love from the UK hope i get to see you live one day.
Every album since I discovered him have dealt with subjects that are current events in my life. And has said things in a little sentence that I been trying to find the words forever. And spent many nights with his songs getting me through shit! And Idk how he is not known by the masses. Sorry for him that he isn't, but glad I am in on the big secret.
Kind of music you send a brother, friend, in a time of need to slow down. Spreading love not hate, helping people grow instead of tearing them apart. I can dig it.
John, thanks for being a hero. I played in bands for years. Took me a lot of time to find my true artist, like you. Bless you my friend. Keep writing songs like Harlan would. Keep it up man. God loves ya!
John Moreland: This is right where you belong. This is a great production. I am a new follower but I must say I would have liked to have discovered you years ago. Your music is life changing to me. I am pleased to hear about your new album which I will be acquiring soon. This piece is well written and you are surrounded by amazing musicians here. I will incorporate your talents into my skimpy repertoire and play this for friends. Well liked.Congrats.
I can't put into words just how good this song is. I see the video and I think back to when my daughter was that young and taking her tromping through woods and fields for countless miles. Man you are an amazing musical talent and I'm grateful that I found your music.
Saw him before Isbell’s show in Chicago. Guess it was 2013 since he opened for Isbell, but even the people I met waiting to get inside were telling me to buy at least 1 CD, his most recent was the one I bought. Listened twice today. Need to grab some more.
John, this is a great song...your signature performance makes it even better than that. A shout-out to Bobby Dean and Clay on the fine video. A music video worthy of the old MTV
Just found you. Wow. You are amazing pretty sure I’ll be only listening to you for the next few days. You bring me to a better place. Thank you for love of music.
Never heard of you.....untill 10 minutes ago.....she dont care to cry....tell me who i am.....im in tears....living it ...right now. Awesome bro I play and sing as well. You nailed it
@ Sonny Fowler - actually the Bible says you must treat your body like a temple, yet here you are poisoning yourself on hard-liquor. You're going to hell. Just kidding, hell doesn't exist; neither does god. The Bible's a creative-fiction book (that's why it has so many historical mistakes, scientific mistakes, and morally atrocious passages) #theMoreYouKnow
Next big thing . Brother Osborn , Chris Stapleton , and now you buddy. I’d love to play with you one day dude . Keep up the good work and best of luck.
Man.. you are so good. I just discovered your music a few days ago and I havent listened to anything else since. Your music speaks to my soul. You got one more fan right here.
John, it's been a long time since I've heard a songwriter with your skills, patience, and soul. What I wouldn't do to see you at the codfish barn in a few weeks but responsibility weighs too heavy sometimes.
Slow down easy, I've been hauling a heavy soul And don't you know, honey it's time Slow down easy, so much trouble got a heavy toll Take my hand, won't you be mine We were born homesick, the plot was understood We put away all the worry we could keep Maybe I'm too burdened to tremble like I should Maybe you're too sick to go too deep Slow down easy, I've been hauling a heavy soul And don't you know, honey it's time Slow down easy, so much trouble got a heavy toll Take my hand, won't you be mine Dissatisfaction, the tired familiar taste Coughing up bad blood in every rhyme Come on young savior, don't let your fever go to waste You got neon arms for new age crimes Slow down easy, I've been hauling a heavy soul And don't you know, honey it's time Slow down easy, so much trouble got a heavy toll Take my hand, won't you be mine Your heart's on the table You do what you're able Don't you suffer no pain over me Slow down easy, I've been hauling a heavy soul And don't you know, honey it's time Slow down easy, so much trouble got a heavy toll Take my hand, won't you be mine
L&R brother no life is more important than your own! Stand solid on your own two feet and look into the mirror of the man your supposed to be and think of all the people that love you before you step off into the abyss.
You are more than awesome, you don't touch my soul you grab it!!! I beg you to please release more songs! Everything you play/sing is above and beyond!😍
Reminds me of me last relationship. Wasn't fair that my heart was heavy... Got alot of shit figured out at least now ready to slow down easy...skate and Faak!!!!
Love Moorland, this song, not so much for some reason, think I've been spolied with you don't care for me, hang me from the Tulsa Stars etc, just seems a strange route for him to go or more likely the record company to put out this song with a video without him in it.
Nearly all of the footage that he's acting like "he's 16" are old and from his teenage years IMO, ya can see it if ya check his face and hair out. And the footage that he hangs out with his buddies were taken in his backyard, he has a ramp in his backyard as ya can see in the clip.
@@zenon3021 Great, so a hasbeen never professional skater has a kid but still goes out to act like his 16 year old self drinking and skating with his buddies. the original question still stands - who is watching his kid while he's out acting like his younger self?
John Moreland is a national treasure.

@@michael_mack that’s awesome. Heartbreak felt through music can be shared with anyone. Should check out Elliott Smith.

"he" doesn't know, that's his son

I’ve watched this like 20 times. That’s my homie Raven. One of the coolest dudes I’ve ever know. It’s so rad to see him in this.

John, Prophet. I have been a musician al my life. Few are touched like this.
Every time i hear this song it makes me just stop what im doing and take a step back and think of all the good i have in my life. Thank you
Damn... I don't know how many times I've listened to this song but every single time it gets me. I dont know too many artists that can do what you do.
Slimeballs, gulwing pro 111. Tony hawk mini. Ahh the good old days. This is what good songs do, and vids" memories".

I’m a daddy-to-be and I needed this more than you know. Thanks 👌🏻
Brian Walter how’s that first year been dude?
Such a beautiful song and clip. Haven't been able to watch it without a lump in my throat yet.

Awesome bro
I play and sing as well.
You nailed it
Accidentally running across your music on Chris Canturbery radio station a few years ago was greatness.
I mean it just doesn’t get any better, I’m caught between a bottle of whiskey and a Sunday morning sermon here, but somehow God understands

Hey, dude! Please come to germany and bring us your lyrics!!! It's awesome to hear your voice! We love you, man
One of my favorite songs of 2018... such an honest and beautiful song.
Heartbreakingly beautiful.
John a wonderful artist. This is the first time i hsve listened to him
Please put a live video up of you singing this acoustic. This song is incredible!
Slow down easy, I've been hauling a heavy soul
And don't you know, honey it's time
Slow down easy, so much trouble got a heavy toll
Take my hand, won't you be mine
We were born homesick, the plot was understood
We put away all the worry we could keep
Maybe I'm too burdened to tremble like I should
Maybe you're too sick to go too deep
Slow down easy, I've been hauling a heavy soul
And don't you know, honey it's time
Slow down easy, so much trouble got a heavy toll
Take my hand, won't you be mine
Dissatisfaction, the tired familiar taste
Coughing up bad blood in every rhyme
Come on young savior, don't let your fever go to waste
You got neon arms for new age crimes
Slow down easy, I've been hauling a heavy soul
And don't you know, honey it's time
Slow down easy, so much trouble got a heavy toll
Take my hand, won't you be mine
Your heart's on the table
You do what you're able
Don't you suffer no pain over me
Slow down easy, I've been hauling a heavy soul
And don't you know, honey it's time
Slow down easy, so much trouble got a heavy toll
Take my hand, won't you be mine
One okie to another ,great job John !!! You pour your soul into your tunes!! I hope to see you sometime maybe you could come up the pike to Enid!!
I am a new fan!! I love this song!! I was looking down the barrel of my 45 when this song came on, had shuffle on, idk who you are John but thank you
Listening over and over. Bahaha, SemperFi to all my JarHead Brothers out there!!! The struggle is REAL!!! U.S.M.C. CPL.BRADSHAW 2ND TNK.BN. OORAHH!!
@@crazywhiteboi395 Hope you are still doing well, Semper FI! 3/5
L&R brother no life is more important than your own! Stand solid on your own two feet and look into the mirror of the man your supposed to be and think of all the people that love you before you step off into the abyss.
You are quickly becoming my new favorite artist!!

Hey man. Just, thanks for the music. You reach inside like very few do. Keep well my friend.
Rocking Moreland 2019
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Cannot believe that he has lost so much weight and can't say how glad I am that his health will be better and he'll be with us longer.
That is not John Moreland in the video.
Absoutley love this song! I just discovered you and I must say you are an amazing story teller and a suburb artist!
You definitely have a fan in me. Love it.
If you want to see John in one of the coolest venues ever, check him out July 3rd at Codfish Hollow Barnstormers. Such a cool place.

Tour the uk please !!!!!!!
The Eagles should license and perform Slow Down Easy and 2 dozen other Morland songs. Am I wrong?
Hey man you doing any tours or anything? If so you should swing through Peoria or Chicago
Connor Ingold I saw him in Utrecht last Tuesday. Check his site for tour stops.
Phist
Your a true artist. I woke my 2 year old daughter because this video made me want to be with her
You're*
@@adamsince1985uk sorry. It's that damn predictive text. Didn't mean to distract you from reporting tweets
Love Moorland, this song, not so much for some reason, think I've been spolied with you don't care for me, hang me from the Tulsa Stars etc, just seems a strange route for him to go or more likely the record company to put out this song with a video without him in it.
he's all up in it - just the pictures are different
Codfish!
Fucking A
Please donotbe mad at me.
who's taking care of the kid while the dad is out acting like he's 16?
Lol right?

@@callsign_turcopole What's with all of this "ya" bullshit? And what of my question, who is watching his kid while he's acting like a young fool?
