John Moreland - Break My Heart Sweetly

[@mmelathe]

Yellowstone brought me here!

[@kaneparker9310]

Me too, now I'm a massive fan

[@dudeman5166]

Same! Yellowstone also put me onto whiskey Meyers

[@jamesarthur1787]

It did me too

[@charlesstewart2177]

Me too

[@chewy7943]

Same. I can’t find it in Apple Music

[@infantrymanbased]

“I should be dealing with my demons but I’m dodging them instead” Brother, we feel you

[@christurner4542]

He has to be the most underrated, unappreciated greatest all around musical talent the world has ever known. I have wanted to be a writer my entire life, and I can just hope to ever write such beautiful words as this man and then to put it in song with a voice that makes you feel his pain. Just amazing.

[@wyredmusic]

I couldn’t agree more. That’s what’ll make him eternal.

[@juice2620]

He's literally a predecessor to Bob Dylan.

[@TheChrisnortontenor]

I don't understand how anyone in the entire audience could be talking. Imagine trying to talk over this pure artistic expression of grief.

[@punisher244225]

Had no idea who this guy was. I was at a music festival just chilling not expecting anything when this guy walked out on stage. 20 seconds into his first song I wasn't worrying about anything but listening.

[@beachrastaman22]

there are certain moments in our lives that we realize in god's grace that we have a good soul, and today he will take care of us if we only BELIEVE.

[@bikermikevlx6008]

He said, "This song is about 'Bummer stuff ' ... (The best bummer stuff I've ever heard)

[@Fear-Who]

This man probably writes the purest lyrics I’ve ever heard. His word scheme is unmatched

[@lilymcalister1825]

John Denver is onehellof a song writer as well.😉

[@chrissuggs5031]

The man has the voice of a sad angel. God bless and keep doing what you love everyone

[@jonnyorigan]

I cry to this song every. Fucking. Time

[@ccwildflower5348]

John Moreland is so pure. Achingly soulful and honest.

[@okrunner]

It was almost worth losing the love I had just to appreciate this song.

[@cj222100]

I saw him live 2 days ago, & I was so happy he sang this. If you ever get the opportunity to see him live, go, you won't be sorry. I hope he comes back to my area someday

[@terrymitchell8887]

Every man that has been in love and that person has broken there trust. 20 years and 6 lovely children it brakes you as a man. Grate song made me cry.

Paroles I swore the days were over Of courtin empty dreams I worshipped at the altar of losing everything And the guard I held together Was losing all its shape And in my head you looked so gorgeous It's keeping me awake There's a scar on my soul So let me down easy Break my heart sweetly Like you always do I guess I can't let go Til you wreck me completely Break my heart sweetly Drape me in blue I was never scared of nothin Thought I had a home Life went and broke me open So I carried it alone I'm findin all this well-worn sadness I never knew I kept And I still chase you into heartache Every time you take a step. There's a scar on my soul So let me down easy Break my heart sweetly Like you always do I guess I can't let go Til you wreck me completely Break my heart sweetly Drape me in blue I swore the days were over Of courtin empty dreams I worshipped at the altar Of losing everything But you had a halo made of diamonds Resting on your head I should be dealing with my demons But I'm dodgin' them instead. There's a scar on my soul So let me down easy Break my heart sweetly Like you always do I guess I can't let go Til you wreck me completely Break my heart sweetly Drape me in blue

[@TheEnno64]

a lot of tears to cry. lost marriage, hard childhood....only me and my guitar......i am glad to have my guitar. i really think music is my only reason to survive. its a treasure

[@MTG9878]

Childhood is a mother f/:cker, took me 54 years and losing people I love very much to let go! I had to forgive me!!

[@tomfisher7206]

John Moreland is a true poet songwriter. I was lucky enough to see him at Illinois river jam one year. Beautiful music and musician.

[@real_bad580]

What a soul you have man!

[@northcntry2000]

Beautiful song! Yellowstone drove me to look this song up.

[@derekweigel1479]

Thank you Yellowstone for leading me to this song!!

[@justinwagner7190]

15 years cheated from day 1. I went through hell in my own head. Find out who you truly are and hold yourself high.

[@cphertrio]

I'm sorry for what you went through. I hope you find someone who deserves you. I come back to this song over and over again. It's so beautifully and agonizingly real.

[@TheMadSouthernScotsman]

The best I’ve heard in many years. Yellow Stone introduced me to your music and lyrics. Keep it going!

[@charlesstewart2177]

Me too.love Yellowstone

[@SebastianSchmal]

Yellowstone 👌

[@jonwitkop3723]

I was introduced to John Moreland when he opened up for Lucero in Sioux Falls. He came out on stage all by himself and completely had the crowd mesmerized shortly after he started playing. Watching him on stage all by himself was amazing and I've been a fan since.

[@KimberTheRealGiver]

Always loved having John play in our bar in Norman when I worked there. Every single show was an absolute treat. The only time our regulars shut up was when he was on stage.

[@codyandbarbarakillingswort5546]

Were you a coastie at one time?

[@samuelfink4799]

All of Johns songs have that one verse that hits you right between the eyes. His song Cherokee has one that says “ I’ve given up on ever being well.” Lost my wife to a brain tumor in 2012 and I can say I have given up on ever being well.

[@thegulagarchipelago5921]

Best of wishes Bud!!! God's Grace to you!!!

[@nickturner64]

Lost my mom to the same thing a few years later, all the love and cheers for you sir. Life hits like Mike Tyson. You’re a strong man.

I lost mine differently .but I completely understand

[@donodom3441]

My son died 2 months ago this week. I'll never get over it.

[@samuelfink4799]

@@donodom3441 I wished I could tell you it will get easier but I'm not sure it ever does. At best we find things like exercise, alcohol, drugs, and faith to deaden the pain. I hope my friend you find something to help you cope.

YellowStones doing a great job introducing great music. Thank you

[@HUNTERWRENNMusicvlogz]

Absolutely such a beautiful REAL SONG Dan. Sounds like so much like my life. Lost my kids, home, cars, assets it couldnt get any worse. Lost it all in three months from a divorce from a cheating wife. Wowwee this song hit home for me. And thanks so much for sharing. An have a safe an great day🎼🎵🎶💯💯💯🎸🤙👍

[@kainflynn1430]

I had to walk out on my toxic-controlling ex and leave my little baby girl behind. This song gutted me

[@paddyopatrick2941]

Lost all my stability My ex was a manipulative abusive venomous woman. Who would attack me whilst injured and get our children to come up to me and insult me. Shit I put up with it for years. One day after work my daughter walked up to me scared asked her what was up. " Mommy wants me to say something to you." What is it sweety you won't be in trouble I promise ? " Mom wanted me to say Your a lazy piece of shit and we'd be better off without you." She started crying. Sometimes it's better off to lose something and move on for every ones benefit. Your kids will understand one day she will show then her true colours just be a good person. Chin up m8

[@rgvtv193]

Right there with you. Lost everything. Lost my cheating wife to another man. Then that man stole my kids. Luckily my son is older now and sees the truth and we have a good relationship now. My daughter tho......thats a whole other story.

Perfect song for the Jimmy scene.

[@kevinh9555]

I feel this song is about being in love with someone and that person realizing they are not in love with them. The heartbroken person just wants to hear it for themselves. Everytime they see the person they're in love with they're heartbroken knowing the love is not mutual.

Of Course left with a sign CD, that song always had left that haunting feel. So tonight when i heard the first cord at the end of YELLOWSTONE heard another and knew it was John. So very proud for you !!!!! but i always had that feeling this song was going. Great moment for me Especially since the CD was still in my player !!!! love always

@@SuperAlexkol I wrote my transcription down on paper and it can be a little ambiguous bc I applied more than one metaphor for certain lyrics & some of them are from the perception of personal experience from family members. I am grateful you are interested & I will reply with my interpretation as soon as I locate the written transcription. It took me quite a while to find the words which Mr. Moreland seemed to express so effortlessly. Thank you for your interest & I will gladly share the meaning of the song soon.
