Jason Molina – Song of the Road Lyrics

12 years ago

I love Jason Molina’s songs so deeply and the impact they have on me is entirely unique and absolutely profound. The way the lyrics touch me is less like a story and more like a haunting. I’m left feeling in the presence of something I completely understand and identify with, but with no ability whatsoever to articulate the experience or any language (or ambition) to decipher the lyric’s intended meaning.

Jason Molina – It's Easier Now Lyrics

12 years ago

What breaks my heart most about this song is "It's easier now That I just say I got better". It's like the guys just worked out he can get by easier with his friends and family if he never tells them about his pain. I seriously cant bear it. Probably one of the very few incredibly heavy songs by Jason that doesn’t somehow miraculously have the reverse effect of inspiring and connecting me. This one just completely washes me out to sea.

Songs: Ohia – Two Blue Lights Lyrics

12 years ago

The day I heard Jason Molina had died I started crying and had to leave my office. I walked down the road to a park and walked through the park into an old closed cemetery. I talked to myself about how much I loved him and his music, how angry I was that he never got the recognition his work deserved, and how sad I was that a life like his had passed that way and (selfishly) that I wouldn’t have the comfort and inspiration of new songs from him to live to. As I was crying and walking and talking the town clock (which I can’t usually hear from inside my air-conditioned, insulated office) started chiming and as it was midday chimed 12 times. I was already teary but at that moment I completely lost my shit and sobbed… Like always though underneath the sobs and after the pain, was space and in that space was gratitude and joy for the beauty and light that exists in the world, and for me (though Jason spoke often of its inverse) is illustrated and illuminated most resplendently in the songs of Jason Molina.

Songs: Ohia – Ring the Bell Lyrics

12 years ago

One of the most beautiful songs of all time. "if it looks like i'm not trying i don't care what it looks like" I've quoted this line to support countless clients who i council for a mental health team. I love Jason Molina’s songs so deeply and the impact they have on me is entirely unique and absolutely profound. The way the lyrics touch me is less like a story and more like a haunting. I’m left feeling in the presence of something I completely understand and identify with, but with no ability whatsoever to articulate the experience or any language (or ambition) to decipher the lyric’s intended meaning.

Songs: Ohia – Blue Chicago Moon Lyrics

12 years ago

To me this song is one of the most uplifting and triumphant songs of all time! It brings me to my knees with tears of pain and then lifts me up and sets me soaring on tears of true joy, jubilant solidarity and understanding. The simple truth that we all feel pain and we all feel we can’t go on and that other humans have felt this way too and still we carry on and even thrive and that we genuinely care and want to help each other. Kindness is the most heartbreaking truth of all.
