[@multicolored9485]

I lost my father last week. Your crafts Anton, lets me escape reality and forget everything else. My dear father last words were Rock on forever- and that I will do with your music by my side, till the day I go and meet my loved ones. Thank you for everything, Anton.

I was yesterday playing the entire playlist at this cafe I work at, to try to play my part and spread your good vibes onto the world a bit more. Thank you Anton :)

[@antonfjordson]

Thank you for that

[@Rashas63]

The lyrics are particularly fitting for my mood today. Tonight, I think I'll end up having a drink--or three--have the news on but sound off, and listen to the works in progress playlist as a comforting soundtrack to lower my anxiety levels.

[@mostevokish]

YES!

[@icanseeformiles9387]

You're right - this really did brighten up my day, and I thank you so much for that, Anton. Much love to you today and always XO

"Whats In A Name?" Some smile shines through Did someone drag your dreams away? Or did you sell your soul for rent to pay? You got your hand out, need a hand up Can I help you, my friend? I got something I'm gonna give you, make your misery end It's all coming true And good things come to you Love is on its way To brighten up your day Life has done you wrong So I wrote you all this song To brighten up your day And wash your pain away And this song is true I wrote it just for you To seep inside your soul And wash your spirit whole You say that life has never been this bad And everyone you know is feeling sad It's getting hard to find the strength to live Cause no one's got a shit left to give So I wrote another song for you I know that everybody's feeling blue So here's a song to let your spirits fly Just let it in and make you feel alive

A new favourite. Strumming my pain brother ✌️

[@ianANDtheLEYlines]

I just freed my soul from paying rent. It’s too nice and fluid here in the winter. Kicking it in safe spaces , using all the money I make, keeping music free ; the last couple songs didn’t instantly pop for me, but this has some nice hooks- and once again, a beautiful beat

Jesus, You really outdid yourself with this album. Fantastic collection of what you are capable of. The Roadrunner show outside Boston was like going home. Felt like I already knew the band after your works in progress. Every song on this album I just want to go on forever. Who the fuck puts out such gorgeous, heartfelt art like this today? Thank you, thank you through my tears of joy.

[@jabedon7378]

That literally just gave me some energy during a difficult day here in the U.S. Some of your best work!! Soul Medicine:)!

[@hansno1475]

Anton, I don’t know if you’ll see this, but thank you. I was having a really hard time this morning and I almost quit my job. Turns out all I needed was a few minutes alone and this song. You saved me today, man. And you probably will again. ❤️

[@antonfjordson]

be well.

[@MightyFallenOak]

I've lost my way this year with new music, mostly listening to past songs that pricked up my ears. Many new to me, others temporarily forgotten but this song enticed me back into 2020.

[@jamessteed3752]

ive had an awful day at the office this song makes me forget that.. thankyou for your music

[@antonfjordson]

You are so welcome

[@cbob213]

Absolutely Beautiful. The quality of your work is still stunning. Your ability to articulate and project pure, raw human emotion, even at a subliminal level is MASTERFUL. So grateful you are still making music that moves me. Thank you Anton. As a musician and engineer that holds actual art and artists above all else in the world of music. Singer / songwriters of your caliber are a rare breed. I'm rambling, but it does mean a great deal to me that you are you, and doing what you do.

[@dugfern]

Man, that's a good song. Somehow smile shines through Did someone drag your dreams away? Or did you sell your soul for rent to pay? You got your hand out Need a hand up? Can I help you my friend?

Open Heart Surgery was my favourite BJM song until I heard this... You are the most talented musician I have ever heard. Your music has enhanced my life & made it better. When someione asks me what I want to listen to I will always say The Brian Jonestown Massacre... I live in Edmonton, Canada & all 3 times I attempted to see you perform the show unfortunately got cancelled (Edmonton once & Vancouver twice). I will fly somewhere to see you next year...
