John Gorka "Love Is Our Cross To Bear"

[@lesleymoore1699]

Still a song that is more than beautiful.

[@lpgirl]

John, he's been gone over 7 years now. I played this song today for him to hear it once more....I'm sure he's smiling. Thank you♥.

[@PoetlaureateNFDL]

This is truly one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. Gorka's true greatest is reflected in lyrics and music like this!

[@PoetlaureateNFDL]

I cannot stop listening to this song. I can play the "simple chording" version on my guitar, but it doesn't quite do it justice, Kudos to John!!

[@TheNevan60]

This has to be one of the finest songs ever written - always brings a tear to my eye - thanks John!

[@greta9558]

Big JG fan since the eighties His music is so beautiful and the lyrics of his love songs bring out such vulnerability he skillfully or perhaps instinctively uses humor afterward to balance it out Otherwise all of our hearts will be exposed and we can only take so much of that :.)

[@Imustfly]

Thank you John. I've listened for years and years and years,...and thanks to wolfwinntx for uploading. Many years ago, when I first heard this, I presented it to my wife as a measure of my love to her. It still is.

[@DonBonin]

Another John Gorka hidden gem - he is amazing. The world needs more John Gorka right now. Peace.

[@MichaelXavier7]

My soul cries at this song as I think of my Creator...

[@paulschumachersings]

Still one of my favorite albums ever.

[@spring74light]

Thank you for this Posting. I have enjoyed John's songs for many years. He is the 'genuine article' Singer / Songwriter. Exemplary skilled use of language, each word chosen for purpose and precision, delivered with his natural rich, articulate voice. [Tyneside, England.]

[@TheCurtcon]

yep..an italian from New Jersey...Fantastic songwriter and artist

[@CrisCrisman]

Saw him last night in Grass Valley, CA. Previous time was at the Bottom Line in NYC 28 years ago. He is in top form and his voice is as beautiful as ever. The only difference is he is much funnier now. The between-song patter was hilarious.

[@dimosolaki]

he is a great songwriter guitarist and singer!!very special!!fantastic!!all the best from greece!!

[@jorgepurvis4799]

The best singer , songwriter in the USA ......and he`s no slouch on the guitar !

[@jimbouldin9164]

He and Chris Smither, dead heat.

[@jorgepurvis4799]

Jim Bouldin I prefer Gorka , but Smither is just a nose behind . Need to get more Smither CD`s !!!

[@jimbouldin9164]

jorge purvis Get his newest one jorge, just came out, sort of a lifetime retrospective with re-takes of some old songs.

[@starskydinnerfig8916]

This song, and whole album, is priceless. Brings back so many memories...

[@lillyandruben]

first time I have seen or heard of John Gorka but have now been on itunes and had a spend up Brilliant

[@PoetlaureateNFDL]

I am now learning the "easy chorded version" of this on my Martin Guitar. I just love the words and melody!!

[@doughaak7407]

Gorka is a fine songwriter and an exceptional performer. There isn't enough good songs out there.

[@MrPlantsciencedude]

Just superb

[@georgegeysen6499]

Really pretty guitar playing and that voice ... so distinctive

[@4thThe5th]

It's a shame John and so many other singer/songwriters don't get the credit they deserve...and so many untalented jerks in the industry are "Household Names"!!!!!

[@thomaskinney3834]

SAME AS IT EVER WAS

[@MrBrobishop]

I thought the same thing when first hearing this song; it's an amazing piece of songwriting that turned me into a J. G. fan.

[@raypelkey6917]

John's a gift to music. Just an amazing talent with a kind heart. Can't wait to be at the August 6th show in Great Barrington Mass.

[@TMerkel58]

One of the best love songs I've ever heard, especially being in a long-distance relationship. "I am here, you are there" and I love to play it at my gigs. Beautifully done John. Looking forward t seeing you at Stoughton OperaHouse next week!

[@360lotus]

What a gift.

[@Ivorymandingo]
