Heard this on the radio yesterday driving from Minnesota w/ my uncle and it instantly grabbed my attention. I had to go find it and hear again. Best decision ever ❤

I know this was written about the feeling of isolation during the lockdown, but it really speaks to me as someone who dealt with depression (or rather, put off dealing with it), when people would say "you just need to get outside more, get some sunlight" and you just keep saying "I've tried!". And the lines about "I know you're scared of me" really remind me of how my wife had to deal with my inability to process my emotions, she'd talk about how she'd try to walk quietly around me when she knew I was in a bad mood. Then at the end of the song "til I notice I've been crying this whole time", just really speaks to the experience at least for me when I finally got help and was able to feel those emotions again. Just a killer song, can't wait for the album!

Sometime between covid and nearly dying in an accident that took 3 years to recover...i fell out of touch with a lot of Isbell music. Im just hearing this and it's like a warm blanket on a cold lonely night.

[msdazey]

Kudos to his band for providing such a lovely backdrop to this sad story.

Nobody make me cry like Jason Isbell ❤

My ex-husband passed away last night. He used to terrorize me. I have never heard this song until now. Brought back many memories. I wonder if my ex had these thoughts. I have so many emotions right now. I feel so bad for my daughters, but just knowing that the man who took joy in hurting me is gone for good is a relief.
Thank you, Jason for your beautiful lyrics. You are the most talented songwriter of this generation.

Love this guy and Amanda. They're the John and June of this generation. They speak for the common folk we all used to be. Always see them when we can.

[grahmnash]

This is a well crafted song. Well done Jason.

[keithrev]

Great lyrics, exceptional rolling drum beat and sweet, sweet guitar fills. Nicely crafted tune. Love it.

[bigpink]

Jason screaming into the mystic...as if leaning over a cratered canyon. Echoes emanating of lonliness, despair, hope, and a brighter tomorrow. The burdens of an unlikely prophet opening up to the world...shining a torch of truth Mouthpiece for those too timid or meek to speak. Keep yelling into the void, Jason...we hear you. 👂

"I'm tired of living in the moment and sleeping through the dream..."

Jesus, man... I feel personally attacked, or at least noticed in a crowd. This song rattles my soul and made my knees physically weak at that moment in that line... Two singles in and this is THE album of 2023.

Jason is arguably the most profoundly gifted songwriter of his generation. I love this man.

[MacGirls]

It’s just such a great depiction of everyday life after coming out of it. And the guitar soothes the soul letting us know - it’s all gonna be alright

[kooskia]

You can definitely hear the Shoals in this one! This album is already great. Thank you, Jason! Can't wait to see you at The Amp again this summer!

[shanajenkins]

Nice of you to release this in the middle of the morning on a spring Wednesday

[robbratcher]

I'm tired. Of stepping on your shadow, and feeling in the way.
Yes I'm tired. By the middle of the morning, I'm out of shit to say.
I ain't used to this, seein everybody's hand.
I was raised to be a strong and silent southern man.
I ain't used to this. A thousand days alone.
In my bed, or in my head, or in my phone.


This man must have a camera in our home.

The first melody line is obviously a nod to The Allman Bros.
Jason hits it out of the park again. He avoided “the sophomore slump”, “the junior slump”, etc.
This song will be remembered as one of his best - alongside of Cover Me Up and If We Were Vampires”.
The lyrics are, of course, sublime. He’s STILL at the top of his game.

[MeatyPeach]

Cannot wait to hear more of this album. Between this and Death Wish, it’s gonna be a gut punch in the best possibly way. No one else writes like Jason right now.

First to comment just so I am!! Song writer of the generation

[ChrisBlake-knhy]

I've listened to EVERYTHING Jason has ever released. This might be the best one.
