Absolutely. Setting here in my truck and seen it, listened to the song and then set and listened to this lesson. Going through a divorce myself right now so I know this song all to well.
John Moreland is one of the best songwriters of our generation and sadly will never get the recognition he deserves. Only real music lovers will ever know his name. This dude writes pain better than almost anyone
Tyler Holt Matt Anderson is from just down the road from me. I've seen that dude live so many times, he's just ridiculous. I agree he'll never have the fame he deserves
@@crumpmakecountrygreatagain425 Just makes me think I might not ever write anything so beautiful, so true, so on the head, and perfect so why even try? Ya know?
This guys songwriting is painfully beautiful, it stirs up feelings I’ve tried to shove down deep into the crevices of myself. One of the best lines from his song Cherokee is “ I’ve given up on ever being well.”
You know sh!t's about to get real when the guitar teacher puts down the guitar and get a 1000 yard stare. This song is amazing, ever so often I return to it, and it always hits.
Man, that line you said, “you get it wrong until you get it right”. Boy that hit hard and I thought that was so powerful. Words of wisdom! Thank you for that.
I found this song right when my wife and I were going through a very, very rough patch in our marriage. I was sitting on my deck and played this song about 10 times and cried harder each time. I wanted to shut it off but I kept hitting repeat. It was cathartic to just be able to empty my mind, heart and soul for that brief moment in time. It was this line that got me: "I dreamt I'd take you with me. And you'd say you forgive me, and we'd live out some easy ancient song" I have a tough time listening to this song, even today...but I do. And I love it. And it makes me remember who I need to be.
Saw him almost 10 years ago. He played this song and I couldn't help but shed a couple tears. I've been living in the place this song comes from so long I think it's just home now. He is a helluva songwriter and I envy his unique guitar playing style. Proud to have artists like him around to write so eloquently from the emotional pit so many of us get stuck in.
The way John even phrases the title is sad/beautiful in such a passionate way. 2nd verse is pure poetry...'we lie here unattended in splendid loves remembrance..you've lost the mind to even do me wrong'..when the passion is gone and she won't even entertain your bullshit anymore..get outta me feelings john!
P.s... All things are possible. My wife and I were married for 7 years, separated for 7 years, and then got back together (through the oddest events) and now, I’m happy to say we’ve been back together now for....7 years. 🤝 We have 2 beautiful children together. Ages 21 and 24.
John Moreland is one of the few songwriters ive found that has mastered the art of translating emotion into words. Writing songs that make you feel like theres a blanket of sorrow and sadness draped over you.
John Moreland is an incredible singer-songwriter. He has an endless amount of songs just as great as this one. HIs first four solo albums are all fantastic.
The first date with my wife was in high school in '89. We were married young and had our first child young. There were years there, many, where we were only together due to inertia. Our 20s sucked. Today I can't imagine being with anyone else. We're not just a part of each others lives, we're a part of each others beings. It took work and change and fights and tears. But here we are.
Great tune, Michael. But please... PLEASE check out his song “Blacklist.” Even without making a video. Just give it a listen. My favorite song ever written.
@@MegaCasperC You probably did that anyway, but make sure you also listen to "Hang Me in the Tulsa County Stars". "And babe, I know This life will make you cold and drive you mad Leave you homesick for a home you never had Burnin' out the good with all the bad" Just so fucking beautiful.
Married for 10 years, divorced 2 years ago, my son lives in a different state now... I know the feelings... However, it is an amazing experience. 🤗 Love to all.
Woah man, you spoke what I haven’t been able to Me and my fiancé have split and have two beautiful boys together But it’s turns sour at times regardless the efforts we put in She left because I’m now in a wheelchair and I understand it’s too hard for her But like you said we don’t change Although change can be good me and my ex were in a rut of sourness although we craved for us both to come down from that mountain I’ve been on self destruct since.... I feel every part of pain he sings Since my accident guitar has been sooo difficult for me now but I’ll get back to where I was just without using my guitar like Ben Howard now Thank you for this ! 🙏🏼
You got a lil vulnerable here buddy! I love the lack of bullshit and false bravado on this page! Three chords and the (sometimes messy) truth. Myself and your other subscribers enjoy the content but YOU are the key ingredient here! The context makes the content pop!!!
This song is soooo good. Its my lullaby that I sing to my daughters. I change a few words, but its still true to meaning. They love the song. Can't stay awake during it.
Discovered this dude last year and sprayed his music all around me (no one knows him here in France). So intense, his guitar playing is good, and dear god, his lyrics are amongst the great. Reminds me of some that Bob Dylan could have wrote. No need to mention that his singing is amazing too. Great artist. Music like this will never fade, cause it contains everything that makes us human beings with feelings imo. And thank you for your work over it, in my opinion you got everything that makes him so good ! You seem so touched by this song, and don't worry, I think we all feel the same when we listen to him ! :D
Coming back to this video cause I made it listen to the girlfriend of my best friend yesterday, she cried after 2 lines, and she does not even understand english that much, gave her the translation of the lyrics. Man, those words, just those words .. Human being can be so beautiful when we go back to love and life ! That man is the definition of an artist to me : a person who can summarize in few words what every human can feel.
John is one of my favorite songwriters. I know this video is old, but I would like you to listen to one of his older tunes called "God's Medicine" off the album: In the Throes. It's tied with this song as personally hard hitting for me.
I listened to his music way before he got big. I watched the views on his songs like Break My Heart Sweetly and You Don't Care Enough For Me To Cry go from 15,000 views to over 300,000 in the course of a few years and now he has millions of views on his videos. I've been around since his Spotify account only had around 1500 monthly listeners. Hes a great musician and I think he finally got the credit he deserves.
Bro he paralyzed you right out of the gate hahaha. I love it!!! Your face looked like I felt the first time I heard this song. This song and your channel came at a special time in my life years ago. Thank you both.
On a snowy day when I was in Iowa for work this past winter, small town middle of no where, I managed to get a 2nd row ticket (benefit of going solo I guess) to tedeschi Trucks band in Ames. Drove 50 min each way in near blizzard. Hadn't heard of the opener before, but when John came on stage and started, I knew my musical life was forever changed. Will never forget that night. (oh, 2nd row TTB....INSANE)
These are seriously awesome. I'm a classical and acoustic guitarist, and these are simply the best videos for not only reactions.. but learning a bit about the song, getting deep into the tune, and hearing a bit on your perception of the lyrics. I love it man. I have found SO many good artists through this chanel. Thank you!!! You have my subscription.
Me and my girl have a somewhat similar story. Split for 5 years she moved to Colorado from new york. We were volatile. But never lost contact. She moved back and we have been together for 6 years again. Good shit brudda ty!
So glad that you reacted to this one. One of my favorite songs by one of my favorite songwriters. This particular song got me through a rough breakup back in 2016, and it summed up the end of that relationship perfectly. Such a ridiculously talented songwriter.
One of the best songwriters out there..got to watch him play to mostly empty rooms years ago..glad to see him doing well..if his songs don't touch something in you , are you really alive..?
"If the American music business made any sense, guys like John Moreland would be household names. " Love her or hate her this quote from Rachel Maddow is perfect
I Watched her pack it all up this morning. Sww her and my boy drive off to whatever is next for them. There wasn’t any more anger or hurt in her eyes or if there was she hid it like a pro. I was real proud of her for how she conducted herself. Be good to those that let you in if you don’t they will eventually leave you sitting there wishing you could have done things different.
I chanced upon a video in an endless facebook scroll and heard a live version of this song. I immediately ordered the album and would spend the next 3 days consuming everything I could find of his on the web. Two weeks later, I was front row at his show in Macon, Ga. He is absolutely an incredible songwriter.
You get it wrong till you get it right. Powerful thought. Sometimes you exhaust everything. You hope you hit a soft bottom not a hard loose everything bottom. Sometimes hard to shake the ghost that'll take you down. I love your enthusiasm but really enjoyed your open heart. I got it right finally glad you did to.
I've loved this song for some time now. It's really nice to see someone with your platform spreading the word of how incredible he is. You clearly feel his pain too which made this video so genuine feeling.
Big Crunch turned my '83 JCM 800 into a monster. Thanks Brooks! I love this series Michael ... Got to get my lifetime membership soon. God bless the wife I finally found.
You are a very talented, thoughtful caring person. Also, a generous one because you are sharing your gift. No other CZcams channel compares to yours. I hope you keep doing this because there is nothing else like this. You are giving more than just music. Thankyou.
Didn’t manage to fix it. But somehow I found better way. Happier way for both. Music is a huge part of my healing. I know these videos help me pal, and so many others.
This song still breaks me in half. Blacklist is the other song. I started to heal from abuse after hearing these two songs one morning at 5am. I needed to hear them and one sleepless night I found them. Good luck to good people. Spent two days learning those songs in agony. Thank god for my guitars. They haven't let me down. Real love... 40 years.
This subject and your reaction remind me of this tune written by Patterson Hood of the DBT's. Always been a personal favorite. Imagine a song called "World of Hurt" being uplifting? "To love is to feel pain" there ain't no way around it The very nature of love is to grieve when it's over The secret to a happy ending is knowing when to roll the credits Better roll 'em now before something else goes wrong No, it's a wonderful world If you can put aside the sadness And hang on to every ounce of beauty upon you Better take the time to know it If you feel anything at all Gonna be a world of hurt Gonna be a world of hurt Gonna be a world of hurt So if what you have is working for you Or you think that it can stand a reasonable chance And whatever's broken seems fixable And nothing's beyond repair If you still think about each other And smile before you remember How screwed up it's gotten Or maybe dream of a time less rotten Remember, it ain't too late to take a deep breath And throw yourself into it with everything you got It's great to be alive (This is the best live version I could find but just audio) czcams.com/video/nxOnxOOGVAs/video.html
I got divorced do to my past heroin addiction(I’m sober 6 years). This describes my first marriage to a T and tears me up inside. I have to limit how often I listen to it
Came for the guitar lesson, stayed for the life lesson.
Got deep this time. Always do :)
Absolutely. Setting here in my truck and seen it, listened to the song and then set and listened to this lesson. Going through a divorce myself right now so I know this song all to well.
@@Guitargate that’s what she said !
Right on
So true, both you and John. Thanks. H.B.R.
John Moreland is one of the best songwriters of our generation and sadly will never get the recognition he deserves. Only real music lovers will ever know his name. This dude writes pain better than almost anyone
Tyler Holt Matt Anderson is from just down the road from me. I've seen that dude live so many times, he's just ridiculous. I agree he'll never have the fame he deserves
@@judecaplin1860 matt andersen is one of the greatest, especially live, nothing like it.
He's the Blaze Foley of our time
@@phantomtides1204 that's a great comparison
So true
This is one of those songs that's simultaneously makes you want to go write a song and yet (somehow) never write another song again.
hit the nail on the head with that one, couldnt agree more!
This comment gave me goosebumps, these were my exact emotions after viewing this.
But like Michael said, you get it wrong until you get it right.
What exactly do you mean "never write one again"? Is that literal or some kinda something Im not getting? Sorry to be so complicated
@@crumpmakecountrygreatagain425 Just makes me think I might not ever write anything so beautiful, so true, so on the head, and perfect so why even try? Ya know?

So excited you got around to Moreland. Lyrical legend
One of the best modern songwriters without a doubt.
Fact
@@Guitargate love your musical breakdowns. You’re inspiring me to pull out my ol Martin D28 and get back to pickin.
Moreland, Isbell...my list gets fuzzy after those two, but they're at the top consistently.
@@MrDavecdva Moreland, Isbell, Colter Wall, Tyler Childers, Chris Stapleton, Sturgill Simpson, Aaron Lewis, and a few more guys.
I've always felt that if someone can move you with nothing but their voice and a guitar, they're probably a really special person..
Been listening to John for the last 4 years so when i saw this video i clicked instantly
YES!
@@Guitargate please do a Frank zappa review!!
Man, that line you said, “you get it wrong until you get it right”. Boy that hit hard and I thought that was so powerful. Words of wisdom! Thank you for that.
First time I’ve seen you just do one straight without pausing at all. John Moreland is a powerful man.
That little solo you added in made me cry man. Beautiful.
Amazing he can sing it without crying. . . I can’t even listen to it and read the lyrics to myself without losing it.
Just fantastic.
I found this song right when my wife and I were going through a very, very rough patch in our marriage. I was sitting on my deck and played this song about 10 times and cried harder each time.

Can't believe you just played Moreland! Thank you he's one of my all time favorites!
ding
It's been a long time since I was moved to tears from a song. The expressions on your face were real Michael.....
Dang
P.s... All things are possible. My wife and I were married for 7 years, separated for 7 years, and then got back together (through the oddest events) and now, I’m happy to say we’ve been back together now for....7 years. 🤝
We have 2 beautiful children together. Ages 21 and 24.
There you go my friend.
Beautiful story! Love a happy ending! Never lose hope!
Ah yes, I too have an obsession with 7/4 and also love King Gizzard
My wife filed for divorce a couple weeks ago, blindsided me. I’m hoping we get a redemption story like this...
@@michaelhutcheson8313 I wonder how you are right now
John Moreland is one of the few songwriters ive found that has mastered the art of translating emotion into words. Writing songs that make you feel like theres a blanket of sorrow and sadness draped over you.
Check out old blue october.
John, Whiskey Myers and cody jinks are my favorite songwriters
@@matthewcombs9059 hate me is probably the most emotional and honest song I've ever heard
Get chills everytime I hear the first verse
John Moreland is an incredible singer-songwriter. He has an endless amount of songs just as great as this one. HIs first four solo albums are all fantastic.
The first date with my wife was in high school in '89. We were married young and had our first child young. There were years there, many, where we were only together due to inertia. Our 20s sucked.

Bless you! Love hearing stories of people sticking it out!
That's almost exactly the same story as mine. Thanks for sharing. Great song. Had to hold back the tears.
Exactly...
This song is heavy. Breathe it in. This is art.
If you identify with this Moreland tune try to sing it without choking up. I dont see how he does it. Amazing.
I can tell when Michael is bout to cry, he start playing with the music to distract himself.
That guitar will let you cry in ways that your eyes won't!
Whatever it is you're doing there in that intro is beautiful ... As is John Moreland
Great tune, Michael. But please... PLEASE check out his song “Blacklist.” Even without making a video. Just give it a listen. My favorite song ever written.
John Moreland “Cherokee”. That song is also awesome.
Cherokee, Break My Heart Sweetly, No Glory in Regret. Everything of his is great, but his acoustic stuff is ALWAYS fire.
@@MegaCasperC You probably did that anyway, but make sure you also listen to "Hang Me in the Tulsa County Stars".
"And babe, I know
This life will make you cold and drive you mad
Leave you homesick for a home you never had
Burnin' out the good with all the bad"
Just so fucking beautiful.
"so here's to hoping I can change tomorrow" is the most heartbreaking lyric I think I've ever heard in my life
I’m lucky enough to also be from Tulsa as Moreland. Guy is the real deal and I’m glad to see people finding his music. Thanks for everything!
This has ben in my Playlist for years. Beautifully haunting. The truth and pain.
That's it.
Can’t not cry every time I hear this song. Thank you for breaking it down for us
Married for 10 years, divorced 2 years ago, my son lives in a different state now... I know the feelings... However, it is an amazing experience. 🤗 Love to all.
John Moreland writes songs that cut through your soul. I ain't going to lie the dude will make you cry. Very under appreciated.
Woah man, you spoke what I haven’t been able to
Me and my fiancé have split and have two beautiful boys together
But it’s turns sour at times regardless the efforts we put in
She left because I’m now in a wheelchair and I understand it’s too hard for her
But like you said we don’t change
Although change can be good me and my ex were in a rut of sourness although we craved for us both to come down from that mountain
I’ve been on self destruct since.... I feel every part of pain he sings
Since my accident guitar has been sooo difficult for me now but I’ll get back to where I was just without using my guitar like Ben Howard now
Thank you for this ! 🙏🏼
How you doing buddy. Hope you and your sons are well and loving life
Hope you’re doing well man
Woah, that really got me. Thanks, never heard of him.
Yeah brother.
Damn...those lyrics CUT THE SOUL LIKE A KNIFE..WOW....

John Moreland has come a long way, but has been a local favorite singer-songwriter in Tulsa, Oklahoma for years!

Songs like this one are few and far between. Damn it brings a tear nearly every time I hear it. Thank you for making this video
I care enough for you to cry John. I wanna cry every time I listen to this song. Thanks for breaking it down, Mr. Palmisano.
Always!!
Well I must've cared enough.. because I sure did cry. Michael, you're the realest out there, keep it going!
I’ve never wanted to have a few beers with someone so bad.
Every time this song gets me.
One of my all time favorite songs
Found this video about a year ago and I couldn't find it after the first time hearing it. I'm so glad you did this reaction!!
If you love this one sir, you will love his other songs too. 3:59 A.M. and Cherokee. Such beautiful songs.
So glad that you reacted to this one. One of my favorite songs by one of my favorite songwriters. This particular song got me through a rough breakup back in 2016, and it summed up the end of that relationship perfectly. Such a ridiculously talented songwriter.
Just listened to his cover of Springsteen's Thunder Road this morning, and it was amazing!
You have shown me one of the best songs I’ve heard, thank you so much
Just discovered Moreland not too long ago, love his stuff!
Thanks for doing this! One of my favourite songs.
Benjamin Tod has a new tune called 'What keeps me up now', truly amazing!
30 seconds in, and I already care enough for him to cry
One of the best songwriters out there..got to watch him play to mostly empty rooms years ago..glad to see him doing well..if his songs don't touch something in you , are you really alive..?
Cleveland County Blues by John Moreland is such an amazingly well written song 👌
"If the American music business made any sense, guys like John Moreland would be household names. "
Love her or hate her this quote from Rachel Maddow is perfect
Dont stress about sharing Michael, shows us you're human and have emotions like the rest of us :)
I'm supposed to be working...but I see John Moreland on this channel and I have to take a half hour break right now.
“and when they give u a piece of theirs... that’s with u forever too” damn son
One of my favorite songs. It takes real perspective to encapsulate the struggles you live through in a song.
Heard this for the first time 2 nights ago. Had his songs on repeat since. My 6 year old loves his music too.
I feel this guy's music,I don't just hear 👂it,that hadn't happened to me for a while,until I came across this beautiful song!👌
I just now found John Moreland. Wow!! Thank you for giving the detailed insight of this song.
I Watched her pack it all up this morning. Sww her and my boy drive off to whatever is next for them. There wasn’t any more anger or hurt in her eyes or if there was she hid it like a pro. I was real proud of her for how she conducted herself. Be good to those that let you in if you don’t they will eventually leave you sitting there wishing you could have done things different.
There's music and then there's John Moreland. There really is nothing quite like a kick to the gut that is a great John Moreland song.

My life right there just now but not forever. Amazing song.
First time listener, in a dark place just now, this song resonates, as does seeing empathy in others, thank you Sir
Adore this song. Didn't expect this reaction but so glad you did! Great video!
It sure is a fantastic song. So beautifully written. Masterpiece.
You get it wrong till you get it right. Powerful thought. Sometimes you exhaust everything. You hope you hit a soft bottom not a hard loose everything bottom. Sometimes hard to shake the ghost that'll take you down. I love your enthusiasm but really enjoyed your open heart. I got it right finally glad you did to.

This subject and your reaction remind me of this tune written by Patterson Hood of the DBT's. Always been a personal favorite. Imagine a song called "World of Hurt" being uplifting?
"To love is to feel pain" there ain't no way around it
The very nature of love is to grieve when it's over
The secret to a happy ending is knowing when to roll the credits
Better roll 'em now before something else goes wrong
No, it's a wonderful world
If you can put aside the sadness
And hang on to every ounce of beauty upon you
Better take the time to know it
If you feel anything at all
Gonna be a world of hurt
Gonna be a world of hurt
Gonna be a world of hurt
So if what you have is working for you
Or you think that it can stand a reasonable chance
And whatever's broken seems fixable
And nothing's beyond repair
If you still think about each other
And smile before you remember
How screwed up it's gotten
Or maybe dream of a time less rotten
Remember, it ain't too late to take a deep breath
And throw yourself into it with everything you got
It's great to be alive
(This is the best live version I could find but just audio)

I got divorced do to my past heroin addiction(I’m sober 6 years). This describes my first marriage to a T and tears me up inside. I have to limit how often I listen to it
Another one that hits me right in the "feels." Uggg
