You used to say I had what it takes

I think I did if you meant too little too late

I can tell by the looks that I'm gettin'

I made some big mistakes

And I thought you said I was great

Shoot straight and give it my best try

I made my heart as hard as nails

That may be the way you live your life

But it's almost got me killed

Darling I'm not giving in

That happened miles ago

I heard the north star saying

Kid you're so lost even I can't bring you home

Did you think that we were going to last

Honey you know you don't have to answer that

Half of that was my kind of joke

I don't remember which half

I didn't know how blue I'd get

I didn't know how I'd get blamed for it

I didn't choose to go down this road

No one chooses to be sick

I'm saying everything is fine

By the look in my eye

But you know darling

Half of what a man says is a lie

It's your last chance to forget me now

That it's done for good

You always said I'd make it out

Somehow darling I knew I never would

Thanks for everything, Jason, hope everything is easier now R.I.P.

(photos are of two of many times I was lucky to see him; All Tomorrow´s Parties 2007 and End of the Road 2008)

As I am going through a tough time myself, his words let me know I am not just all fucked by myself. This stuff happens, but I still believe that if I fight, it will get better. For those that lose the belief or the battle, I have a great sorrow.

I rarely comment on these things. Jason was my brother. He was pretty good at the music, but very good at being a brother and friend. This song tells his life story. It is about work and failure and death, but there is nothing sad about that. It is just most of our truths. Regards to all that watch this and much love.

The guitar playing is awkward, the drumming is heavy handed, the bass guitar is almost absent from the mix. It may be the most beautiful song I've ever heard.

All of the comments I see on Molina's songs echo how I feel and what I would say. It's clear that those who connected with his music did so on a very intimate and meaningful level. I can't think of a songwriter who captured vulnerability the way Jason did.
