Thank you to everyone who has watched these videos over the years. Jason was a lot of things to a lot of people so be kind to one another and we will be ok. Journey on Molina.

the seamless transition from playing the most mesmerizing beautiful heartwrenching emotionally resonating music of all time ever to talking abt his fav hot dog joints 💀 how to miss someone you'll never meet

Everything he wrote was like some kind of haunting autobiography of everything I've lived through. Your words still speak directly to my soul and losing you still breaks my heart. Hold on, Magnolia.

I am Jason's uncle, haven't seen him since his mother passed away Feb.15th 2003, about the time all his medical, and alcohol problems started. I had never heard any of Jason's music before his death, (i'm ashamed to say) but if I had I could have told that he was a trouble soul, just from the sad haunting word & music in all of his songs. I live in West Virginia and Jason was traveling all over the world, so we didn't see him but if I had I could have told that he needed help, whr was evreone.

For anybody's info Jasons mother was my sister, the only three people to love Jason was his Mom, me and my wife and probably a few of his friends. Your right I haven't seen or spoke to Jason since my sister died. What he told me and my wife then that he was on the family s@#$ list, just like me and my son and wife, If I had known that Jason was in town less than a mile from me I would surely talked to him because I loved Jason he was the only person in my family that cared for me.

When I heard the news Jason died alone and broken my stomach dropped and I wept like a child. He is the greatest songwriter and performer of the last 25 years, and I still feel warm tears down my cheeks when his words are delivered so transcendently hit me in a melancholy disposition. We all loved you J.M. You don't have to hold on anymore buddy.

1 voice, 6 strings, dude touched so many of us. RIP

One of the most underrated voices

I discovered Jason Molina a little after he passed, and now years later he's my favorite song writer. I would love to have met him. I hope his soul found peace on the other side.

This is a man who put every bit of his soul into his music. R.I.P. Jason - “I will be gone but not forever.”

I was fortunate enough to be at this show Thanks to the folks at ACME for making it happen. Jason Molina's songs speak to my heart in a way that is singular and special. When I heard he had died, I felt like a friend had passed away. It still hurts when I listen to his songs knowing that he's gone. I went to Chicago years later and stopped by Hot Doug's and had a hot dog in memory of Jason. They do cater to the veggies! Rest in peace, Jason, and thank you for your hard work, songs, and soul,

Hold on Magnolia To that great highway moon No one has to be that strong But if you're stubborn like me I know what you're trying to be Hold on Magnolia I know what a true friend you've been In my life I have had my doubts But tonight I think I've worked it out with all of them Hold on Magnolia I hear that station bell ring You might be holding the last light I see Before the dark finally gets a hold of me Hold on Magnolia To the thunder and the rain And to the lightning that has just signed my name To the bottom line Hold on Magnolia I hear that lonesome whistle whine Hold on Magnolia I think it's almost time Hold on Magnolia I think it's almost time It's almost time

Discovered his music at the last album of Songs: Ohia. At first didn't like much the Magnolia Electric Co. Yet I took a plane to go see them live in Barcelona and along with girl I had met at the concert, we kept asking him in between songs to play The Lioness. I feel so stupid to not just have shut up and enjoyed what he gave us.

This man was a musical masterpiece. Pity he left us so soon! :'(

How's it possible to be this real I'm in bits

Tweefybootlicker please stay. I love your videos of Jason. Dont remove them, they mean the world to Me! When i feel low, they help

easy folks. Jason seems to have meant many things to a large group of fans, friends & family. He was really a great guy and will be missed by all. Thanks to everyone watching these videos and listening to his music.

I will always return to this video

This might be the most beautiful song that ever existed

My daughter's name is Magnolia. I've been a Molina fan since probably 2000 or 2001, over twenty years for sure. The first song I ever heard him on was a Songs:Ohia song. He's definitely one of my favorite songwriters. And we came up with Magnolia's name while floating down the river in tubes in Florida... The thought of Magnolia Electric Co. didnt even cross my mind. I've heard so many things with the word Magnolia, but never have met another Magnolia other than my daughter. My dad is 61 and he's never known a Magnolia.

I listen to this song every morning on the way to work. It's a serene way to start the day. God bless you Jason.

I miss you. I wish you found recovery after you wrote all this beautiful music about my life and suffering. Your life was one worth saving.

to me, Molina is the greatest of all time. Captain badass talked the talk and walked the walk. His art will stand the test of time!

The human beings we find out about only to learn their time has passed. Glad we live in an era in which so many of us are immortalized in 1's and 0's. What a talent. God bless.

This one has me balling every time, I miss him

he looks so good here - I absolutely and totally love this song. Sad, haunting, and oh so true..

I've watched this video at least once every six months. Not once have I been able to keep the tears in. Gone far too soon Jason x

Man, this record got me through some hard times. Jason’s music often felt like one of the closest approximations of what I was going through during those early 2000s. It can be difficult, from a human perspective, to square that the music that I love so much came from the same deep down places that fueled the behavior that killed him. It rarely fails to bring me to a complete halt, and often to tears. His career was just consistently excellent, no duds, no “hits”, so it’s apropos that the title of this album, midway through his career, would be the name of his next band. This record was his masterpiece and the closer is a bring the house down crescendo. “You might be the last light I see, before the dark finally gets a hold of me” is a line that still gives me chills every time. I almost never listen to this song only once in a row. Thank you for posting these videos, maybe someday he’ll get the recognition he deserves, a la TVZ.

Hold on Molina. Your spirit lives on. We love you

Utterly heartbreaking

Currently on my gf’s account, this is the literal gig that my buddy introduced me to Molina. Posthumously, I became a die hard. I only got to see the aftermath. Specifically The Hideout July, 22 2017..

This is my favorite performance of this song. It’s great with a band too, but this song hits so hard with Jason’s meandering pace on guitar and voice. I love it.

The artists with the most pain have the most musical genius

Words come to short to describe the feelings this has stirred up inside of me

it warms my heart to hear how Jason's music touched so many people as much as it touched me. his music was the soundtrack to the hardest period in my life (so far). his music will forever ring in my soul. i hope there is an after life and i get to say thank you to him again. even better he might have some new songs written.

I have fond memories of being a teenager walking around my neighborhood at night and listening to Jason Molina, Songs: Ohia, etc. This song was one of my favorites. Sad he is gone, hope he's happy & writing songs in the sky now.

Jason was pure magic

I just feel really sad whenever I listen to this song. 😕

This is achingly sublime.

RIP Jason. So sad I never met you. Your songs will never leave me.

Ten Years Gone now. We miss you Jason.

1973 was a good year.

He reminds me of a young Jackson Browne!❤

I would like to apologize to everyone on You tube, with the exception of my family. My family has disowned me. oh! well I hope Jason and his mother are in heaven together now. I have two that I still love Jason and his mother my sister I love both of them very much. I will always have fond memories of both of them for as long as I live. God Bless both of them. both of them.

Ok I just left a comment below to say how I just discovered him and this is my favorite music of all time. This is the first video I watch. I’m floored and I look him up and saw he passed away.😭😭😭😭😭😭😭The music is such a gift though and I already thought I need to learn and sing this song. Wow. If this person who posted this was his friend I’m so sorry for your loss.

I wish you were still with us :( and making beautiful music...

This is... something infinitely precious.

I love this great artist ...only found out of him 4 mos ago ... I'm a so called guitar player , writer , singer . Jason is influencing me so much . The sadness is so apparent . I feel often like leaving the world ...to put it nicely ...but I just got a new guitar and got some good friends and things like that .Writing like mad . The words . A friend of 50 years is a great guitar player but dosen't write words .I sent him some of my stuff and he said keep it coming . We don't drop names but ...maybe you will hear a new one from us soon . Peace and Love to Everyone

Two of my favorite things- Jason Molina, and a giant poster of Tyrannosaurus Hives in the background

I will never let go of that light, Jason.

His singing voice is so different from his regular voice.

what a great jam, something unreal about his voice, the perfect pitches on every note...

I think lets just agree he was an amazing singer songwriters with some issues just like all of us all but his music has helped so many lets just find peace and hope and grace in that...his music will be playing at my funeral..he meant that much to me

He had(s) a slight ululation in his voice, he cries as he sings, utterly sublime.

For some reason, knowing Hot Doug's closed only a year after his passing adds to the tragedy...

I really miss this guy.

i will always regret never getting to see Jason perform live. what a wonderful soul. edit: the comments have me in tears. testament to how great this man was.

0 dislikes, fine by me.

Masterpiece ❤🎶❤ 🕯 🕊

I can’t get over how good this is. I just discovered him and it might be my favorite music of all time now.

Oh Jason xx

I get chills listening to this , god bless you Jason Molina

Thank god Jason was a prolific songwriter. He left us with a large catalog of beautiful songs.

Always in my heart.

Rest in peace ;( From Portugal.

Man I wish was still here.

Achingly beautiful.

So beautiful, thank you for keeping this up. May his light and beauty continue to shine. Such a sweet soul.

I don't think there's a more beautiful version of this song. So easy and simple and emotive. Thank you for keeping it on here for more people to discover. I find myself coming back to hear it over and over.

Getting back into Songs: Ohia and Jason's stuff. Pure heartland poetry. It sucks knowing he passed. An incredible songwriter with heart, humor and pure emotion.

Thank you. Glad he lives on but sad he is no longer around.

i always hear a nod to beware of the darkness in this. amazing thank you for sharing.

Just found about his music this year, what an amazing discovery

Love Jason...his music is amazing..he speaks a sad truth...not many will...RIP...gone way too soon

What a wonderful story . I wish with all my heart I had met Jason too . I listen to him a lot .

just wow

It's been a couple of months since I found out about Jason Molina's works, and it took me a little later to realize that he was no longer alive. I was heartbroken, for all of his songs started reflecting all the sadness he probably went through. I hope he is happier than his songs right now, wherever he is. Much love, Molina. I wish you lived a little longer.

Perfect and beautiful

rest in peace

This is the version of this song I return to most.

Many thanks too to you, for keeping that piece of him we know alive for longer.

one of the most beautiful videos i've ever seen.

Man, I miss Jason so much :')

a singular artist, captured in the most singular way. thanks for the footage

Intimate. Heartfelt.

I can't believe he referenced "Hot Dougs" ..................RIP Hot Dougs!

Eri un grande !!!! Love !

Beautiful 👌

Thanks for sharing so many amazing videos tweedybootlicker. The world won't be the same without Jason Molina, that's for sure. What an amazing singer/songwriter he was. RIP - you'll never be forgotten!

This was truly one of the best live/solo performances I have ever been lucky enough to witness in person. I'm going to miss Jason so much.

RIP Jason...! Beautiful song...! :(
