Great explanation very informative Ty

So is this permanent fix?

Thanks for information !

Very informative video. Songwriters are getting screwed, which causes fans to get less quality music. I feel kind of dirty and sad for streaming music. I'll keep buying music and merchandise when I can.

❤ you are awesome. I love the song and David Ball

thanks for the video all the best Nash

You of all people may know why was the song not discoverable in its original form anymore on Google, Spotify, CZcams etc.

It’s a great song!

These lyrics are incredible. What a songwriter…

This was fantastic!! You guys should do videos together more often ♥️♥️♥️🏴‍☠️

They are quite similar, as you sort of alluded. On the radio, potentially 10,000, 100,000 heard it. That’s about $5 by the streaming rates where each “spin” is one listener.

10:05 -- That's the story about my uncle. He served in WWII in Germany while liberating Nazi concentration camps along the way, got back home safe after the war; and soon after, died in a car crash.

I am a two tour Vietnam Combt Veteran. I can listen to this song, even now, without breaking into tears.

Great song Brian! Thanks for doing these videos, Thom. Love em.

To be honest, I always felt like the lady wasn't ready to let his car go until 30yrs later... not that she didn't know it was there.

I Love that song

I was at WSM on that fateful night when David Ball heard the song for the first time. By the time Thom had finished, you would have thought someone was cutting a big ol’ onion. Not a dry eye in the studio!

Absolutely Awesome! Then and Now!!!

The streamers are scam artists 😅

O r pah win free harpoon that har po in dustrees

Great video! So when is it beneficial to go the self publishing route?

I’m lost, what kind of surgery did he have?

I wrote a very minor hit which was included on Universal Music 100 hit songs 2016. Get this.. I made more money independent than I did on a major. The overheads kill you. btw I have a new tune out on the 5th july if anyone fancies pre saving it :) link in bio.

I was born talking through my nose. Would they be able to help me change my voice?

❤a great song appreciated it😊

Love you Leslie! Keep up the good work! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I urge the world to look up Lance P Sijan. There’s a video about his car, his story his life.

The wife and I are more Harp people. Guinness to be had after coffee. So glad that you're havin fun. Sláinte!

Love this song, 1st heard it on Radio Trop Rock

Your songs about men that have served are great. My daddy was a Vietnam Vet, I’m just thankful to God for letting him get back home safe raise his children with mama and see all of his grandkids become adults. He went home to be with God and all his friends lost in the war on January 30, 2024.

I always come back to this gem of a tune! Keep churnin em out, Kyle. It’s an epic tune. One of my favorites of all time.

i hate to tell thom but his 64 chevy wagon wasn't too far gone just a simple minor repair

I wrote this in your partners' comments- I graduated in 1966 and many of my classmates and cousins went to Viet Nam. Some did not make it home. When I heard this song, it hit my heart and I cry every time I hear it. I thank you for writing it and may God bless our soldiers wherever they may be.

This was Rich! Thank you, so much for sharing!

Great story, I write songs too, parody songs, does that count? lol

Thank you Thom. Very enlightening information. Continued success in your career…. Kujo (Sparta, Tn.)

Just a great great song! You should be so proud my friend! One of a kind song! 💕💕

Great story! LOVE that painting!

Awesome

You are the clearest explainer so far. Thanks.

Hello. This is a great video. I write, produce, arrange and create all of my lyrics and melodies. I have singer that I want to record the solo on my of my songs of which is still wrote the melody for. If they record the solo that i wrote (my melody) but put adlibs on my melody as they are recording it, does that singer receive writing credit?

0:56 4:34 (hoarse voice) it’s path high above and it’s two ends apparently beyond the horizon.

3:35 Thom had to use a text-to-speech device for 7 days because he couldn’t speak after his vocal surgery.

This made me cry thank you guys so much

I lost my dad 12/23/22 and when I visited him August 22 he actually said he loved me. That gave me chills because I feel like he knew something was wrong and it would be the last time he would see me.

Makes me cry every time. My husband was in nam, came home and died. Agent Orange. 48.

Thanks! This was very informative.. I've played all my life, and wanted to make a living at it but never did. I wrote songs but never made anything from them. But it's nice to dream.. peck

Your Pirate Sessions are almost on loop on my sailboat. Currently in central america.

Thanks man!
