John Moreland - "Old Wounds" (Live at WFUV)

[@adamlewis5651]

Jesus, it's 2 a.m. and I just found this guy, guess I'll be waking up the sun.

[@CarlosGonzalez-ue7kp]

Same haha 😂

Adam Lewis It gets better... Many moons turn into sunrises..

[@gregpuckett6017]

Truth!!..can't stop listening

[@tomkat69pc]

Wondering who sings better in the dark is it Townes Van Zandt, or is it Guy Clark? or this guy ..

[@wetdroidedition2549]

Happy 2020!

[@MaxJax1004]

I wish it was possible to hear a song for the first time more than once.

[@solomondoors6620]

jeffrey gunnells that would be a dream Come true

[@mryan77]

John Moreland is a legend. This guy is really special. He really embodies the whole singer/songwriter persona. He's the real deal. Like a Jackson Browne. I love this guy!

[@nickobrienmusic6532]

Michael Rich I agreee man and unless it’s skinny jeans and pop it doesn’t go anywhere. You may like some of my stuff on iTunes and Spotify. 🤟🤟

[@louieo.blevinsmusic2011]

@@nickobrienmusic6532 skinny jeans were worn by the punks/metal/hardcore kids way before the pop fucks stole it from us. I take offense. 😂 Nah, I kid. John Moreland definitely is the shit though. My favorite alive songwriter. Saw him in Savannah, Ga and he is a ridiculously good live performer.

[@Jarl_Thidrandi]

Glad to see he has lost some weight. I would hate for this world to lose such a great talent due to poor health.

[@thardyryll]

The black clothes against a black background hide the fact that, at least when this video was shot, John had a long way to go to reach a healthy weight. I am 64 and my generation watched Karen Carpenter’s fatal slide into anorexia. More recently we lost Israel Kamakawiwo’ole to his battle with extreme obesity. If you know someone who is beset by challenges with their weight, at either end of the spectrum, find a way to help them if at all possible. John Moreland is not merely “heavy” any more than Karen Carpenter was merely “thin”. There is no reason to prematurely lose their talent.

[@martinparidon9056]

@@thardyryll You are right. Although I think he did lose weight.

[@molloyxx1]

No American song writer still working writes this well. Period. At the end of a long day he delivers joy.

[@LilyWillow22]

I wanna fall asleep forever I wanna learn to disappear Can you take away the mess, that's been building in my chestDrowning out the song I used to hear Love's a violent word, don't you forget it I ain't saying that you ever could I've seen my seasons change I was crying out your name Remember when we used to feel so good So don't forget to love me in damnation For the living I have earned on love gone wrong And we'll open up old wounds in celebration If we don't bleed, it don't feel like a song You got your honest intuition You got your cigarette smoke And I'm all your oldest fears, the black mark on last year But I got the hope you let me hold So let them judge and shove us under And let them do the devil's work Let them calculate the crimes in all our broken rhymes But let us find the heaven following the hurt So don't forget to love me in damnation For the living I have earned on love gone wrong And we'll open up old wounds in celebration If we don't bleed, it don't feel like a song

why does this not have a million hits? I know why .. Cause its good music.. The beauty of the heart and soul hidden behind everything else out there. This guy is one of them.. Amazing .

[@molloyxx1]

He's the best singer/songwriter in the building. Every building.

[@molloyxx1]

Man cant write a throw-away line...…..the most important musician working today.

[@rhondadixon1180]

I had an ex that I still love dearly send me this song. I absolutely love it!! Life moved on and out of high school we all went in different directions. But, out of all these years, he's still, and will always be, the one who has my heart. Thank you for this song and the meaning it has for me. Some loves never die.

[@nowaythatnamewastakn]

Rhonda Dixon how can you live with that?

[@jrob8764]

You push it to the back of your life and the feelings stay there until something brings them up like this song.

[@gilbertjaramillo2731]

Call him

[@Gutslinger]

You don't love him.. At least not as a partner.

[@johnathonmcdaniel751]

I don't wanna be rude but I call BS if you love him than call him up make it work no excuses.

[@Mike_Stokes]

Every song of his has feeling and emotion that just hits you deep inside even if your not going through the same thing he is singing about. You just feel a deeper connection to his music. His talent is amazing!

[@Tx18Wheels]

You had me at - "If we don't bleed it don't feel like a song"

[@muggel2222]

Yeah man, here 2 years later, and still. what a fucking line

[@minicooper1568]

I only recently "discovered" this man's work,because I think so highly of the singer songwriters (I love John PRINE,Steve goodman, Townes van zandt and don't ever forget Blaze Foley ) I find myself so very impressed with this young man,the right words to tell the truth even if it's ugly!

[@gusepgusep3596]

This song is just unspeakably touching. I found it the very same day I had to let love of my life go her way. Respect to John and his talent!

[@friggenmcswiggen7784]

How the holy hell have I only stumbled on this guy tonight?!?

[@43brich]

Men like you only come around once in a lifetime!!! Thank you for your words!!!

[@AmyCRoyal]

Absolutely

[@travisjackson0494]

I love this Song. I discovered John Moreland through following James McMurtry. and I haven't stopped listening. Great Artist. The Music is well put together and played and those lyrics just kinda punch a hole in your chest. John knows how to really bring it home. One of my favorites for life!!!

[@kent2360]

I play this and the last line of the Chorus is so god damn good I always have to repeat it..I can't help it.

[@tedmcintosh7032]

Man, the more I listen yo John the more I love his music,,,What a talent! Play him regularly on my Radio Show .

[@cuffdaddy1]

Incredible performance - I've been telling people about John for a few years so it's great to see him finally get his due.

[@vickikann5902]

i love his words, voice, and looks... wish i was 10 yrs younger

[@edd2ds]

The young guy with the old D28 is an artist, too. Excellent accompaniment.

[@iosis2009]

[@millab3490]

Please record all of your songs stripped down versions only. This is beautiful!

[@kyblooz]

Moreland had me with "American Flags in Black & White." Then "Old Wounds" sealed the deal -- he's all over my playlists now with just those two heartbreakers (more to come, I'm sure).

[@billc5780]

If you haven't yet, you MUST check out his song "Cherokee".

[@kyblooz]

@@billc5780 I had before and I did again after your comment appeared. Moreland never disappoints!

[@Kriegerherz]

Early in the morning and i couldnt be more glad. Incredibly moved by this but also kindda calmed. Just found him and half of his texts feel like almost the same as my lifes story and behavior. Its really nice to know thats theres still so many amazing artists out there who actually can tell a story and emotions with their craft.

[@elliotthyde5623]

My god is there no end to this guys song writing talent. KZbin thanks again throwing this guy.

Man, I can't believe this guy.........what a blessing to hear his music. They need guys like his singing gospel songs in church instead of the garbage some folks sing.

Listening to him a few years now 😊. How is this man not more popular than he is the voice the guitar and a lyrical genius 🎶🎵🎙🎸

[@chriswhitehouse6471]
