I'm a 47 year old grown ass man and this shit made me cry.

[aidankeane]

I am amazed by the times we live in. A man from Oklahoma can reduce a man in the west of Ireland to tears with his song. I count myself lucky to be able to hear him.

[samuelpheasey]

those lyrics.... i wonder how many men have cried while listening to this. we all feel pain even the toughest people cry.

[MrPHOSITA]

Name of the song says it all, the opposite of love isn't hate... it's indifference.

[kennyscott]

Pretty sure he’s written one of the greatest songs ever.

[alexpettingrew]

This song is more brutal than any metal song I've ever heard

[Smokealotofblunts]

Why do I have to go into a YouTube hole starting with chris Stapleton to find this type of music, why isn’t this man being talked about worldwide.

[dustywelchcraneman]

I'm a fellow of similar size, and actually look just like him beard and all, and there's a couple lines if even said before hearing this song, "I'm the kind of love that's hard to look at" with battling crippling depression and self confidence levels almost none existent I can relate to it. Every single word. That line means so much more than physical appearance, it's an emotional line that only someone in that emotional pit would understand. I'm so dam good at sorrow from all the depression issues. It's just one of those songs that hurt but help.

I lost count how many time I drove home crying with this song

[bigjims]

Recently broke up with my long term girlfriend. On my way to work this morning, i unfortunantly have to drive by her house, and i seen a Guys car in her driveway. Broke my heart. I get home after being bummed all day and Youtube reccomends this to me. And ive never had words and a tune that matched everything i was feeling but couldnt explain

[jamesmelton]

This song found me while I was at my all time lowest. Back from two tours overseas in the marines, through ptsd and a marriage that I destroyed because I chose alcohol and drugs instead of therapy, no hope in sight. The darkness finally broke after I went to in patient and intensive outpatient therapy for the better part of a year. Now I’m two years sober, in the first healthy relationship of my life, re learning the guitar and Jiu Jitsu. To anyone reading this who is gripped by trauma or addiction, it’s never over as long as there is breath in your lungs. I overdosed multiple times and was revived with Narcan. Now, my partner and our children live with me in a new house on a mountain top. Never give up on yourself.

[emmgar]

You can see some of the men in the crowd deeply relating to this song. Some people would have you think all men are indifferent and jaded. Truth is most of spend all our lives wishing someone would be that strong shoulder for us to lean on when we're down on ourselves.

It's not entirely evident to me that men are volatile dangerous creatures. We can be hurt too. Resilience and invincibility are two different things.

[scottshepherd]

"Come down from your mountain
I miss your holy shouting
These days I can't make you make a sound"
That is a hell of an opener, an absolute gut punch

[John_Notmylastname]

Nothing worse in this world than loving someone that has lost theirs for you. The opposite of love isn’t hate it’s indifference.

[dudjones]

Come down from your mountain
Oh, I miss your holy shoutin'
These days I can't make you make a sound
Take me to the times where
We'd look up to the skies and
Climb up there and draw the thunder down

Now I'm forcing myself into
What you've already been through
But darlin' I can't help the way I feel
And you need something stronger
A drug to kill the hunger
And ease the awful pain of living here

Well I'm the kind of love that hurts to look at
Maybe we should take it as a sign
When I'm strung out on leavin'
Exaltin' all my demons
And you don't care for me enough to cry

I dreamt I'd take you with me
And you'd say you forgive me
And we'd live out some easy ancient song
Now where I am unattended
In a splendid love's remembrance
You lost the mind to even do me wrong

And I'm the kind of love that hurts to look at
But once I was enough to make you try
Now I'm underneath the rubble
Tryin' not to feel the trouble
And you don't care for me enough to cry

So here's to hopin' I can change tomorrow
You wanted hard as nails, cut and dry
But I beg, steal and borrow
I'm so damn good at sorrow
And you don't care for me enough to cry

[coltonmccarter]

John moreland, your words, saved my life these last few nights. I'm going through my roughest time I've had in mine.
Your talent is incredible

[FriedPi-mcyt]

You’re never as alone as you are when you’re with someone who makes you feel alone.
It’s even worse when it’s self inflicted.

[TTV.krypticlogik]

Anyone else who have cried like a little girl in the crowd if you were there was ever a performance I wish I could have seen live it would be this people in this poured his heart out

[itsMOATE]

One of the best folk songs ever written

[Auridus]

Man, I care enough to cry. This song is one of those that have lyrics so profound, you're shocked someone could put it into actual words. There are honestly very few songs I would call masterpieces. This is one of them.
