John Moreland "You Don't Care for Me Enough to Cry"

[@nolanaliff5781]

American country music is rooted in Ireland and Scotland. My family is English/Scots-Irish and from appalachia. When they migrated here they brought the music and storytelling with them, bluegrass is a perfect example of this. Many families remained in appalachia, I still have family there, but many migrated west when the government offered "free land" to encourage Americans to settle the west. Oklahoma was one of the first territories to offer the land, so many poor families migrated to settle what was then still hostile land. It was a long, hard fought battle with plains indians. Just think about the courage that it took to uproot their families into the unknown for a better life, not once, but twice. Once from their homes in Irleand and Scotland, then again into a territory that was known to be hostile towards the English. It takes a special kind of people to make those sacrifices, right or wrong. The only thing they had to remind them of the homes they left behind was their music and stories, and we can still hear it today. In my opinion its one of the things that makes America a special place, or it used to anyway. So many different people bringing pieces of their culture with them and making it uniquely American. Music has always bridged the gap, from the Scots-Irish mountain music, to American blues with its sound changing from region to region. Its all soul music and tells beautiful stories of pain and perseverance if one is willing to listen. Sincerly, A brother from West Virginia

I'm a fellow of similar size, and actually look just like him beard and all, and there's a couple lines if even said before hearing this song, "I'm the kind of love that's hard to look at" with battling crippling depression and self confidence levels almost none existent I can relate to it. Every single word. That line means so much more than physical appearance, it's an emotional line that only someone in that emotional pit would understand. I'm so dam good at sorrow from all the depression issues. It's just one of those songs that hurt but help.

This song found me while I was at my all time lowest. Back from two tours overseas in the marines, through ptsd and a marriage that I destroyed because I chose alcohol and drugs instead of therapy, no hope in sight. The darkness finally broke after I went to in patient and intensive outpatient therapy for the better part of a year. Now I’m two years sober, in the first healthy relationship of my life, re learning the guitar and Jiu Jitsu. To anyone reading this who is gripped by trauma or addiction, it’s never over as long as there is breath in your lungs. I overdosed multiple times and was revived with Narcan. Now, my partner and our children live with me in a new house on a mountain top. Never give up on yourself.

I'm a 43 year old man. When I heard this the first time, I hit my knees and bawled like a baby. When you realize what this song means, it hits you like a million lightning bolts. The love of my life and I are still together but yet I miss her. I'm so lonely. I constantly hurt her in ways it feels I have no control of. All I want to do is make her smile and laugh. She's my everything. It kills me I can't or it feels like I can't give her happiness anymore. Yet she won't leave my side. I just need to know she still loves me. I'm a good hearted man. Faithful, loyal, work hard, but I have demons. Everyone does. They always say if you love someone, set them free. If they come back, it's meant to be. I'd rather die or hurt for the rest of my life so she won't hurt anymore in any way. Damn, this song knows my heart. If anyone else is in my situation, I don't care what others say. Go with your heart. If you care more for your loves happiness, set them free. Love hurts but it also is pure bliss. But the what ifs are the hardest part. What if next week things get back the way they used to be and you're both are on top of the world again? Trust me, I know how you're feeling.

Then She slides back down into the depths and before long I am a Stranger to Her. For 16 years I've been waiting for Her. My Love for Her is all I had to hold on to. 3rd time we got together to make a life as a couple. And again She slipped backwards over the course of last year. The way She treated me, the nasty mean things she said and texted me, and then "Ghosted" me. Devestated me. Why She felt it necessary to do that to me for Her to break up with me, I have no idea...I've always told her to be honest with me. And I her. Tell me she's done and I'll go. I've never done or said anything to warrant treatment like that. Eventually, She lost everything she had. Then She called me and wanted to try again. She acted like She didn't do anything wrong and didn't remember saying anything bad to me...I should just get over it and put it behind me... I still Love Her n care about her, but I'm not like before. She Hurt me deeply. I feel I should just give up and let her go. I have nothing she wants or needs. Her last words before she blew me off last August: "You can't be the Man I need to to get the things I want in life. I don't want to see or hear from you again." She had her eye on someone else and it fell thru...but she won't admit it. That's what I feel about her actions. I'm 58 yrs old and I'm too old to keep trying over n over n over again. I guess I'm meant to be alone in this life. So be it.

It is indifferent. It is apathetic. It’s being lost on a road at a point with no landmarks, you can’t go back alone because no matter how far backwards you traveled, you’d never again be in the place you were when things were right. It’s feeling like you don’t have the strength to continue forward. Everyone has pain inside of them. When I listen to this man’s beautiful lyrics, I feel like I’m inside of pain. He’s so truthful in such a poetic way that if this music doesn’t move you, you may be at a point in your journey where you wouldn’t recognize yourself in a mirror.

Absolutely beautiful voice. Makes me cry everytime I hear it. Wish I could meet this amazing man in person.

[@ThatTattooedJerk]

Greatest songwriter of our time. He writes with a profound truth and a heart of a lion.

[@floydrue2006]

This just hit my soul, hard. This resonated deep within me. "I'm the kind of love it hurts to look at." Such a damn powerful lyric. I'm glad the depths of KZbin brought me to this. It was what I needed, when I needed it. I have never had a song that I have ever related to more, or bring so many emotions up. The tears fell, and rivers swelled.

[@odin4234]

there's not a week i go without hearing this song, so deep, such feeling.

[@ronnewlin-ml6lu]

John, I'm at least 33 views of the 53m. I'm not heavy, I'm not light, I'm not tall and I'm not short but I feel 100% of this song. May the Lord Bless you Brother!

[@lyndsieannette957]

This song gives me the feels.

[@TschimmiCash]

It is indeed an incredible song and performance

[@ericcrow2015]

All of the feels

[@Mythicalwalrus710]

God damn it I love this song and artist. Never met this man, but his songs have been with me threw the darkest times. Feels like he's an old friend. Would drink a brew with him any day of the week. Give this man a Grammy pls.

Mate even in 2024, this is so relatable. Hits you in the heart, from UK, just so so you know how far your reach is. Love you man

[@tomgreeves9248]

"Okay, I'll sit here shall I? Yeah, I've just got this little guitar. What? No, no band. It's just me. What I'll do is sit here and pick my guitar and sing you an incredibly moving song with brilliant lyrics and make everyone cry yet feel joyful at the same time. All right?"

[@baloghlcb]

Listen to this multiple times almost daily. Wishing I had someone that cared enough. Yet no matter how hard I try, I can't find that person. My ex sure didn't care enough when she hurt me with her lies. Oh well, that's life, I guess.

[@briansullivan3421]

baloghlcb your not alone brother, I’ve been hurting for a while too, just keep tryin, all you can do, keep your head up man

[@baloghlcb]

@@briansullivan3421 Thanks! Same to ya man!

[@ripdajacker23]

Don’t wait for someone to care for you, that’s where we all go wrong. Learn to care for yourself so that you don’t have to look for it. Instead let that someone find you by treating yourself well and putting your sanity first. Cheers

[@tesfurdo]

Dude. John. Keep doing what you're doing. Truth and beauty from your pain. Songs like this will live on. Performances like this will live on. I for one can't stop listening to this... I know for sure it'll be with me for the rest of my life. Thank you for this song.

[@jaredward8330]

A song where listener and artist can rejoice in each others sharing of pain. Heartbreakingly beautiful. This song means so much to me, as I'm sure it does countless others. Thank you John, for sharing, and being who you are.

[@WoodsyGolf]

I heard this song for the first time a few years ago and within seconds of the song starting I sent it to several friends because I immediately knew it'd be good not realizing the impact it would have on me. I listened to it again for the first time in a long while with my then-girlfriend (now-wife) and bawled while driving on a road trip. It hit me hard then, hit me harder now that I'm in a place with a partner that actually loves and respects me. Keep your heads up, there's always daylight after darkness.

[@TheDuketexas04]

One of the hardest thing in life is loving someone who doesn’t even care when you’re crying out for help. To be abandoned by the person you love most is rough.. going through it now unfortunately. This song hits home in so many ways for so many people and touches lives all over the world. Excellent song, I will be checking out more of your catalog

[@ginnieassenza4610]

my life is ever more enriched since finding your voice. thank you.

[@multimichaeljackson9]

I love seeing an audience completely enthralled in silent contemplation. Really is a sight to behold.

[@sgsoundvisuals]

When your pain writes a song through which every line bleeds a brutal honesty. As real as it gets. Thank you for the tears.

[@thegoldenpath326]

She may not have cried for you, but we all have. Beautiful. I hope you can get healthy so I can selfishly enjoy your music for many more decades, you're an artist John Moreland.

[@Jim_McFarland]

This is a song for anyone who ever feels like no one loves them. Hang in there, there's people who do care

[@SL-fy7dh]

Yknow what I find amazing. We're all listening to the same song, but everyone is feeling something completely different. We all have our trauma, we all have our demons, and this song really is the words a lot of us need

[@aidanmarley2932]

It can't not get you

[@hawksports2]

@John Moreland: I have been writing songs for more than 5 decades, some of them were very successful. I wish I had written any one of yours!

[@lchappo]

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.

[@revorz]

Since I met this song, I come back to it every now and then, as if looking for my medicine.

[@Andrew-ih2gz]

I keep coming back to this song every time it pops up in my feed, no matter how many times I watch it, it still hits where it hurts.

[@joereyna614]

I'm a so called "metal head".. But this song is on my daily rotation. Love this song & Love you John for mkaing it1

"here's to hoping I can change tomorrow" is an absolute gut-wrencher of a lyric

[@jaywillis3155]

One of the most touching songs I’ve listened too. Beautiful

[@nickerzgames]

I just love how all these tough guys are trying their best to hold back their tears. Shows how expressive the man sings

[@swedisheinherjer]

I don't know how I got here but this is the kind of country music that appeals to me the most for some reason. That somber and slow music alongside those sad lyrics. And as a guitarist I wish I could fingerpick like this man does. Good song, very good song 😥

[@Christian-my4dp]

Crazy thing is, John Moreland has a very unique style when it comes to fingerpicking. More often then not, he only uses his thumb and his pointer finger.

[@swedisheinherjer]

@@Christian-my4dp I've noticed that! He only use his thumb for the ryhthym and pick the melody with his pointer finger as you mentioned. I guess that is a skill that few guitarplayers can master :) To play the guitar in two different ways AND be able to sing at the same time! This is the type of music that makes me want to learn how to play chords in the right way so-to-say...

[@jl8912]

I sang this to myself for my sons. Being a father wasn't easy and I tried my best, but evidently it wasn't good enough.

[@popeskill]

I lost my beautiful girlfriend of 6 years, 7 months ago and it doesn't get easier with time. I miss you, Michelle. I love you, forever.

I'm an Okie born and bred... My family came to Oklahoma in the 1830's we are scotch Irish, Acadian and Choctaw Indian. There's something to about Eastern Oklahoma that creates amazing song writers and singers... Red dirt music started here, John Moreland is just a link in that chain..... An amazing one.

[@irisheyez4115]

I'm searching for a word for this...cant find 1 to define this masterpiece.

No words to describe the brilliance

[@jayvino5841]

If a broken heart had sound, this is all it. Everything about this song touches every emotion. That guitar and voice though, wow! 😢

[@Rageisfury]

how is his music not well known. Now a days music is missing meaning and soul. John is an amazing artist that makes you feel his music, you could feel his pain and the lyrics are just godly.

[@fanooch1]

Its not well known because its not sung by a bouncy blond teen.

[@zwildman4999]

I heard this song several years ago and it's taken me forever to track it back down. Kinda nostalgic thinking about when and where I was then. And I needed this song at that time.

[@Jim_McFarland]

This is probably my favorite song ever. I say that sometimes but when i hear this I can't think of anything else. Truest art I've ever witnessed. This guy has been building up these songs his whole life and chooses to share it with all of us. I can't think of a better songwriter ever seriously. Tell me one while listening to this . I'll tell you that you're not listening. Simple as that

[@docdominus]

This is the definition of "hit different". Man you gotta feel this one in your bones.
