When someone drops lines like "It takes a whole lot of medicine to feel like a little kid", you know that they genuinely understand their subject matter.

Is it the songwriting, the voice, the guitar or the guts to be that honest and vulnerable that is most admirable? One of the best in our generation.

There isnt a better songwriter on the planet right now.

This song is going to touch who it's supposed to when they need it.

The double entendre “I wanna hold her until it’s over” the power of this if you’re familiar with depression or living with someone with it… Is just remarkable.

This is so gritty and real. So beautifully sad. “I don’t want to fight with you baby, but I won’t leave you alone.” Holds more emotion and disaster than I expected… chopping onions

I wanted action, she wanted answers, sunrise with the dealers and the dancers. Best lyric in a damn long time.

What a gut punch of an opening line. Continually producing some of the best lyrics in music.

50. I just caught the end of the song driving home and pulled over to find this. My God. This is moving.

'It takes a whole lot of medicine to feel like a little kid'. Doesn't it just.

Once in a while a song comes on that smacks you in the back of the head and makes you stop what you are doing and pay attention. Some musicians have something to sell, and some have something to say. Jason Isbell and the 400 unit just keep on giving.

All I ever wanted was peace and security in a relationship. I only learned to look for it with self destructive partners. This song let’s me feel less alone.

It's not mainstream. Not when you start a new record with this song. Hooked after one listen. The song kept spinning in my head. This hits home. A possibly legendary tragic love songs. Incredible.

FINALLY- a new song in the rock genre that I fell in love with. It's been so long. I sent this to my best friend and she said what is this masterpiece. Masterpiece indeed.

I swear I've been playing this song like nonstop since I first heard it on the radio yesterday, because the feeling it evokes from the experience of trying to reach out to that one you love & yearn for but the pain is too much to bear like they're souls being tormented & there isn't a god damn thing you can even do about it besides feel powerless in every sense of the word...

I was lucky enough to be in the audience tonight and get to hear this song performed live for the first time. It's one of my faves already. Nothing beats Goddamn Lonely Love though. I was disappointed it wasn't played tonight, but the amazing performance of Cover Me Up just about made up for it.

This is one of the most tragically powerful songs I have ever heard. Jason's passion and writing really hit home. I had a friend who couldn't get enough "medicine" or liquor to kill her pain. We talked endlessly, but...."there was nothin' I could say to her that I ain't already said...." I tried, we all did. I felt so helpless watching a beautiful, funny, intelligent, kindhearted woman slowly disappear into her powders, pills and alcohol. And then I moved away and found out a couple of years ago that she finally got her wish. Her Dad found her dead in her kitchen. I miss her. She was my partner in crime......my sister from another mother. I miss you Valerie.

Impeccable. Jason and the Unit keep outdoing themselves and solidifying their spot among the greatest.

He's at the stage now where even his voice evokes strong feelings within you and you know you're gonna go on a journey all over again.

I have five Jason Isbell CD's so far and the one thing they all have in common is no skips. I play them all the way through and he never seems to lower his standard of excellence. Pre-ordered Weathervanes the other day.

I mean…how lucky are we to experience this right now?! They don’t miss! 🎯

Jason is awesome, but I’d like send my appreciation to the band. They sound so good and are aging like a fine wine.

Wow. The man can WRITE.

just wandered over here cry and jam and think that someday, maybe, I'll be loved despite my broken brain

Brilliant! The song demands your attention and stirs up emotions that we're either experiencing, or have gone through. In a recent interview, Amanda comtemplated if her and Jason were still in love. Jason revealed his heart and pain.

This is a brilliant song…obsessed. How many times on repeat before my phone says otherwise? 😂

The BEST of a generation! And this song here is gonna be covered like you won't believe...This is a chart topper! It has that Je Ne Ce Quoi...I can hear this crossing genres...Amazing! You did it again Mr Isbell! Love you forever...xoxo

What a gut punch this song is. It pulls you right in and won't let you go. 💔

Brutally beautiful. My younger sister took her own life, Jan 1, 2019. I miss her everyday.

He chills me like Neil Young. Best think I have heard in DECADES.

As the teaser/promo video for this album promised, I will certainly be crying to many of these songs in the privacy of my truck 😭😭😭

This song really speaks to me on a very personal level. Just amazing.

it takes a whole lot of medicine to feel like a little kid…

My wife and I have seen him at Red Rocls, First Avenue and The Ryman…this song would sound so good in a small venue. Beautiful layering and build between the musicians.

It’s always a good sign when the first single released has an instant classic Isbell line that he and he alone could think up. “It takes a whole lot of medicine to feel like a little kid”. This song is really beautiful in its own painful way. I’ve no doubt that there’s certain folks out there that will break down each and every time they hear this song. Also, who else would release this song as a first single besides JI? Lol

Good lord, what a song. Saga in four in a half minutes.

Wasn't expecting new music quite this soon after the trailer! But here it is! Let's goooo!

Just a whole other level of mastery on the lyrics but don't overlook Chad Gamble doing work on the drums.

The admiration I have in his writing is incredible

What a tour de force...every line feels like a gut punch. The rhythm and beat is at a perfect pace...fast enough to push the song along but slow enough to not feel joyful or proud of what's going on. What a masterpiece.

Te amo tanto, Jason. Siempre SIEMPRE eres increíble

New Isbell music, best news ever ❤❤

Good shit boys. Reminds me of standing in a field watching The Dirty Guv'nahs

This is an astonishing song. So much going on.

Seems my comment was taken down. Probably too personal, or detailed. I loved this woman. I mistook drunken anger one night and left her alone. Needless to say, this cuts to the bone. Regardless, I will see them live, and she'll be with me in spirit. ❤

The ending of this song reminds me of Requiem for a Dream. Haunting.

This has been my jam since it came out, it's my soundtrack on my way to medical appointments. I was just diagnosed with severe inverse psoriasis that makes it hurt to move. I feel like I'm climbing rooftops every day and I can only wear tank tops in the dead of winter! I really needed this song, thank you.

Never thought I’d thank an Add, but thank you Spotify add for showing me this amazing song!!! 🎉

Oh boy, I'm so here for this. Please tour Europe again in support of this.

Full body shivers. Holy crap.

Can't wait for the new album and your next visit to Redrocks!

Lived this. Almost word for word

Just heard this song on Sirius. Not my style of music, but holy crap this hit my soul. Damn. 🥺

One of the best songs Ive heard in a long, long time. Thank you, Jason

Isbellllllllllllllllllll! Listening through good headphones at 6am. Good way to start my day.

tears streaming down my face

Great stuff. Lyrics that really hit you in the gut. One of our generations best songwriters.

Well that news and song was a great way to start the day!

Gives me goosebumps. Love it!

I am losing my self and don't know what to do. At least there's this song.

Hard-hitting and top-notch. And very different to the other song I know that mentions a tank top

Everytime I hear this I've felt something different

This is a new sound and amazing! The lyrics, the delivery, and this band, never fail to get the point across and never cease to amaze.

goddamn man what a fkn song 🔥🔥🔥 just when I think you can’t get better

Thank you for this song ❤️ it means a lot 🙏

This just pumped me up!! 🎶 what’s the difference in a breakdown and a breakthrough?🎶

Thank you for doing what you do so well, and sharing it with us so we can better know ourselves...

God I’m so glad he’s sober. Super 8 would’ve been such a waste of talent. This songs on my gratitude list today ❤

Isbell is the greatest songwriter of ALL TIME as we speak. Standing side by side with Bob Dylan & Robert Hunter. Impeccable……❤

My ex had a death wish, and she rly would climb on top of the shed while high. This was a long-distance relationship too, it put me in a personal hell that bubbled up after things ended. I came to this not bc I normally listen to country, but bc I couldn't get my death wish out of my head. Now I'm stuck thinking about hers instead. Good song, but tf were my life choices

His songs make me cry. This is good

just another fantastic honest song by jason isabell wow

I’m not sure why but I love this song and feel it in my soul

Best around. Poetic and beautiful as always.

God dang, already a top tier song even on first listen.

Wow. Here we go again. Amazing Jason.

Thank you so much, Jason! Can't wait for the release of the new album!

Amazing Song, hope to see you all again in Cologne as soon as possible.

Wow. I love this song - you can't even understand. Thank you for the music 💙

The drums on this sound excellent! Always excited for a new album from you guys!

But, but I want to listen to the remaining tracks NOW! Awesome song and already pre-ordered…

that requiem for a dream shit at the end hits me every time

Another great song. Couldn't be happier.

Mega excited to hear the whole thing!

ENCORE UNE BELLE COMPOSITION, TRES INSPIRANTE POUR LES GUITARISTE. MERCI

His lyrics are simply outstanding & brutally truthful (lived)!

This is awesome. This got me.

How? How do you just keep getting better? Epic song. 👌🔥 You know she's not bluffing.... cause you feel it in your bones......

The requiem for a dream fade out really pulls this songs' feeling together for me.

More!!! More!!! We want more!!!

Marcando presença pq ele arrasa 🤌❤️

Did ever loved anyone hurt ane damaged to the core that they think, I don't know, the world would be better without them. It's so complicated. And I'm addicted to this album, ahahahqhahahqhhq😅.

What a song! What fabulous lyrics! Holy Shite!!! WOW!!

I can't wait for the new record and tour!

Fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

So excited to hear more!

I loved a woman like this I finally had to walk away and get clean. I still check the county arrest log from time to time to see how she's doing. Someday I hope she finds what she needs.

this song hit me and it is on heavy rotation. What a fantastic voice!

So good. Coming from hood county Texas!!!

Fantastic song, brilliant lyrics 😄
