Molina's absence is like a gap in the structure of the world. He was so necessary.

I am speechless at this moment about Jason Molina. I stumbled onto Magnolia Electric Company just two weeks ago and have not been listening to anything else. There is a depth and emotion, and a connection to the music that borders on despair, anger, and darkness. I know where some of that comes from. I was given a second chance, 18 years ago, from destruction and the agony of alcoholism. My heart goes out to everyone reading this post because it is personal. I weep for all the lights that have gone out because of the disease that robbed us of a(nother) phenomenal musician. One hour ago I started looking for a tour schedule. Two hours ago I watched my first live video of the band. I was absolutely compelled to see the band live as soon as possible. As long as it would be in the continental US I would spare no expense to get there. Of all the things that could have dispelled my enthusiasm, it was the curse that I know. Some of us never make it to enjoy the purity of sobriety for only one day. It is wrenching to the human spirit. I did not want to leave this as dark as it started, but you cannot put lip-stick on it. As a final thought, I wanted to send Jason's family a special condolence. This tragedy can never be explained in the light of reason. It can't be, ever. Jason's spirit will live in the hearts of people like me, and I am sure many others. In some abstract way, when anyone dies from what Jason suffered, it is like the loss of a family member to me - a brother I never met. Dwell in Peace.

God! What a magnificent rendering of a song that stands as a masterpiece even in the most mundane arrangement or production. I'm blown away by Jason Molina yet again.

so grateful recordings like this exist! I haven't seen a live concert in almost two years because of covid but the silver lining is that I've been able to discover masterpieces such as these

I've been down a Molina rabbit hole for days and I think this is probably the very best performance there is of this song. Blown sideways by this then the beautifully understated down home "Thank you kindly" at the end.

Impresionante JASON. Que enorme compositor se perdió, pero que grandes canciones nos dejó. INMORTAL.

3:45 Molina kills that solo. One of his best.

He was a superb musician. I wish some of the others around him had been as sensitive as he was.

@@letmegoletmego what do you mean? He didn’t surround himself with good people. I love him as a musician but I know very little about his life. So sad he passed away so young

i've never felt more robbed than not having seen him perform. the band is pretty tight too!

@Fliedermous Жыл бұрын

I could not have said it more clearly. You and I feel robbed because we cannot ever experience the live show, but with all due respect, Jason was robbed of his life by disease. His family was robbed of a brilliant musician and vocalist, not to mention a son. I'm still in shock.

There's so few views for such a brilliant artist... Saying he was underrated is underrated! And I don't know who's the thumb down, hope it's a misclick.

Gotta say, given how things played out for him, this song sounds start to finish like an apologia for self-destructive drinking that he's not really willing to own up to.

@Fliedermous Жыл бұрын

I think that music is such a great vehicle for telling someone, or the world, that you created disaster and have regret and sorrow for it. I believe that your post is 100% true - as harsh as it is. You describe the first step in recovery, and for unknown reasons Jason could never get there. The other tragedy was that his death did not have to happen. It was preventable - if only he was willing to own up to it.
