"It Is What It Is" - Joe Clark (Recorded live at MM Studios) 

I truly appreciate all the Love on this song and hope it helps some folks along the way. Thank you all for listenin.

"It is, what it is" If you know someone who's uses the phrase "it is, what it is"... they are dangerous. Because they no longer allow things that are outside their control to affect them. They have mastered the art of acceptance. So if u plan to manipulate them or threaten to leave their life... guess what? They don't care. You can walk out of their life and they will open the door for you. And the best part when someone asks them if "they are ok" because you left their life. They are going to use that magical phrase "it is, what it is." I love this song. I hope it goes viral.

I'm 51 and man i feel this song. I told my wife of 30 years the other day whatever is broken inside me i don't know if I'll ever get it fixed

Said the other day theres got to be more to life than not waking up one day. Good people do seem to finish last it seems.

Great song! Reminds me of what my life felt like during active addiction. Thank God I found my peace of mind in recovery ❤

Just came across this guys music 🎶 and I'm always looking for new good music 💚 I definitely found a 💎 gem right here 💯✌️💚🍀

I've lost count of how many times I've listened to this the past 72 hours. This song has saved my life. It captures how i feel so perfectly. Thank You Joe.

I have been talking bout life this way lately… remembering the moment I realized that this life, is not what it was, and just…. Is what it is! Gorgeous song. Thankyou and God bless you and yours.

Where. Have. You. Been. ......all. My. Life, .love. Love love,

If you are here welcome to the Joe Clark show. We're watching the rise of a great American storyteller.

Man I find myself using this phrase it is what is daily. This song hits so close to home with me, no money to buy new jeans, somethin inside of me broke and can't be fixed etc

Damn good song!!! This Old Vietnam Era VET Loves it, just stand there and sing!!! No hopping around in Skinny Jeans, just singing!!!!

Just stumbled on your music this morning and I'm blown away! My God, it's like you've read my diary and put it to music! Keep going, Joe! You are amazing!

"Take me back to the kid I was, back before i needed to believe in anything." That's a great line and hit hard. I'm 40, and I can't remember what it was like being a kid anymore. I struggled with drugs and alcohol for 20 years, though. I've been clean for 6 years, but it did a lot of damage, unfortunately. Love the song. Keep up the good work. I know most can't remember, but when I think back, my memories start around 18 with some glimpses of growing up peppered about. I've done a lot of wrong in this life, but thankfully, Jesus took all that to the cross with him. Even though I may not feel deserving, I know I'm forgiven, but as the song says, "it is what it is," and I say that a good bit these days.

It what it is. Yes it is

This is hiting deep right now. She's not sure if she wants to stay. I can't make her want to stay, no matter how much I want her to. Got to let her go... it is what it is

I'M BACK AGAIN I JUST LOVE THIS SONG CAN'T HEAR IT ENOUGH

it is what it is....RESPECT!! JOE keep doing what you doing brother

I'm homeless in New England and this song hits hard.

It is what it is ...... When it isn't what it isn't 🤷‍♀️ great song!

Goosebumps and chills down my spine. Joe clark i felt every word. ❤ Yes sir 🙌

Such is life

I'm BACK AGAIN FIRST THING IN THE MORNING AND LAST THING AT NIGHT I REALLY LOVE THIS MAN 67 AND HAVE HEARD A LOT OF MUSIC IN MY LIFE AND YOU ARE THE BEST I'VE HEARD IN A LONG TIME AND YOU WILL BE HERE WHEN IM GONE YOU ARE 🔥

Wow...my life as well. I hardly believe in anything these days except the Lord...not even churches. All i used to believe in is no more. And I often ask the Lord to please bring me back to who I used to be. 70's gal

Its pain. It's life if you live long enough you get use to it. Watch everyone you ever loved and leave you here alone... I like this song!!

What comes from inside us is the truth, no matter what people outside try to tell us. The devils got hold of this world in a wicked way, and our only weapon is the truth. The real truth.

great song !

Feels like you peered into my soul and dump my heart into a song. Well done my brother

Good stuff!!!! Definitely worth putting on the mix

🎉thank you.

🦋✨✨That’s my saying. I feel this song 😢hard. Love is what matters… Not the material things!! I know because I lost everything more than once and it is family and friends that matter… and a heart filled with love ❤

Pretty Darn good is what it is 😎

From a girl who lost her Dad in a brutal way and too young, this song hits HARD. Every lyric is a spear to the heart. Song writing at its finest. Joe Clark nails it.

With health children and love I know I have true success, the type money cannot buy. Life's not perfect but it is what it is and I am grateful.

I was SA as a child, and then my mom signed her rights away when I was 15, I was Homeless by 16,, Yeah I can definitely relate.

This song means so many different things to me. 😢 I love it. It's so powerful

take me back to the kid i was before......... GREAT LINE! SWEET SONG!!!

Love this song and I'm singing it right now

Your music heals souls

This is now a daily listen for me. Like lifetime anthem

Real truths here

IM ALWAYS A DAY LATE AND A DOLLAR SHORT, BUT MY SOUL ISN'T FOR SALE AND THAT IS WHAT IT IS. I MAY BE A LOST CAUSE, BUT IN THE END I WILL WALK THE STREETS OF GOLD AND HOPE THAT THE LORD CAN FORGIVE THOSE THAT I CAN NOT

Damn brother.....well felt....❤

Awesome to me, thank you sharing

Wow this song just popped in today and man did it hit. Have always said my entire life "it what it is" every time things fall apart and went south. Today was one of those day that I thought I hit bottom before. But found out the bottom is bottomless, and I keep a falling. My Father told me Son: Have Faith the good will always finish last in this World but the reward is in the next, keep the Faith. And if not then it is what it is and there is nothing you could have done about it. To all those comments before mine, y'all are so right. Much Love all.

Reminds me of Mike and his bro love this song it is what it is

I so feel this.

❤damn first time I’ve heard this song and I’m been crying threw half of it❤

Just found this tonight here in NZ. Love acoustic guitar and his voice is brilliant.

Thanks!

"Unless you change and become like little children" Jesus....
