Hi there so wonderful to find your comment here. Humanity's parents of all creation Mama Papa is incarnate in the flesh n looking forward to hear from u❤, urgently. Precious moments here. Luna❤
I first heard JP when I was living and working on Guam. He is little known here in Australia. My opinion, he is one of the greatest singer song writers of all time.
Can’t even put into words how beautiful this song is. Sad to say I’ve only very recently discovered him and his music. Not sure how I made it 47 years in life and not come across his awesome music before. Heartbroken also to discover he passed away last year. Feel like I’ve missed out on a ton of greatness but will delve into more of his great music. Thanks John and may you Rest In Peace sir.
Look at it this way, Brent - you've got a gold mine of tender & creative music/lyrics that you're going to get to enjoy. He was an excellent poet/writer and he introduced us to a gentle, real, sensitively human reflection on life. You're entering a music candy store and only 7 years old! Enjoy. czcams.com/video/L21Tc_DtL6M/video.html

I wish i could have seen him in person. But i am so glad he came into my life. Cause i dont think i would have made it this far without him. I know i can make it the rest of the way through life with the rich library he left us. Thank you John.
Have you "lived" Randy Newman? Leonard Cohen? Bob Dylan? Those who assert that a particular individual is "the best" of whatever the field tend to be people who don't look beyond the one particular individual. It is an extremely closed view of life, and ultimately dishonest.
I have been listening to John Prine for 45 years. I discovered him by buying an 8 track. It was Diamonds in the Rough. It drew my attention because it was a hot pink color. His picture on front and because I have always felt like a diamond in the Rough. From that day in 1972, I have been hooked. I got to see him in concert twice. Both times he came to our small town in Troy, NY population, 49,000
this man wrote the sound track of my life,can't think of many days in the last 40 yrs that i haven' listened to a john Prine song,he has brought me thru the bad times and helped me celebrate the good times
Ever since I heard of John Prine (way late in my own life), I'll mention him to others and they are always fans. "Hey folks, don't hide your light under a bushel. Spread the good news and tell more people about John."
John is a very good human being we are lucky that we had him remind us to be a little more kind and a little more patient and loving to our Beautifully flawed brothers and sisters. And I am at the top of the list at being "Beautifully Flawed" Thanks, John
Every time he's on .every version.he sings and plays. He for sure got his standing ovation when he crossed those pearly gates.the world at a loss Mr john prime.may you rest in peace.god love.with tears in my heart.
just when you think you are alone, you come on over to You Tube and check out JP and he kinda reads your mind. good times or bad. sometimes just gettin by
Went to see John in Vancouver BC Canada great performances will never forget that night !one month later bob Dylan was playing at the same place in Vancouver couldn't ask for better,both of my favourite singer song writers in the same year! Awesome never so thrilled, unfortunately will not happen again in this lifetime
I'm a 36 year old dyslex John Prine FAN. Remeber smokin and gettin high in the early "70's" listening to all I could get hold of. I wonder how a man can write so many GREAT Songs?? I'd like to hear some of the things He didn't think were worthy. He seems to perfect everthing he sings and plays. Lyrics are unsurpassed!!!
there is no equal,such a masterfull craftsman, you think this is easy try your hand and wits at it !. john has been giving us soulgravy since the sixties ! god bless him
I love John Prine. Just discovered him within the last year or so. He's also turned into a really adorable looking old guy, reminds me of Droopy the dog, or something, lol.
I often wonder how he would look now if he hadn't had the cancer surgeries. It changed his looks, but he is still my #1 man. Most talented songwriter ever, and I am a huge Dylan fan.
Thanks again for posting this video...John Prine's music plays an important part in the history and culture of folk music...hey John! the fishing is still good up in Canada!... all the best Don C.
Or simply dislike it which is why youtube gives us an option! Because people dont like the same as you, doesnt mean theyre soul less. Got over it and grow up. Better still try and get your frog brain to think of something constructive to say, cretin.
I'm just getting by. Thats all i'm doing right now. Saw him twice in concert, hoping to see him again if he comes anywhere near here. One of my all time favourite singer/songwriters ever. One of the reasons I learned to fingerpick was his songs.
great influence. taking the pain back. funny sad good tunes fine interesting voice and butter rides to sweet melody. he helps some many through his talent and friends and fans. One JP. love you very much for helping me and so many people at just the right time missed you as we crossed trails in Texas in my and your hugs. see you soon John my friend and thanks for letting the music flow. I will always appreciate you. your ability and our friendship passing through the nights, the haze and the traffic 'so to speak'....see you and ours soon. all to all fans so blessed...merry Christmas and a happy new beer. :) dad young or Otis picky,prickly Marco wilbury. whoever I'm known as
well john, this isn't a dear john but, you are dear, for that i'm grateful. 'cause you see "i'm just getting by". glad to hear you got a new record albeit a couple years late. thank you, sld 👸 the 🌞 📒pad🏡
JOHN PRINE LYRICS "Taking A Walk" A man came to our house I believe it was yesterday I would have invited him in But I didn't have a lot to say His anticipation of me opening the door Outweighed my apprehension as it never had before And drove my concentration Right through that hardwood floor I'm taking a walk I'm going outside I'm taking a walk I'm just getting by There's a girl in the white house I don't even know her name Her disheveled appearance Speaks volumes of shame It's an embarrassing situation But a situation just the same The way she walks on others And never takes the blame Upsets my constitution Beyond its mortal frame Oo-oo a-ha I'm taking a walk I'm going outside I'm watching the birds I'm just getting by Found a card in the pocket Of my worn out overalls From a girl in Cedar Rapids Now residing in Idaho Falls I wish you could have been there When she opened up the door And looked me in the face Like she never did before I felt about as welcome As a Wal-Mart Superstore 0o-oo - a-ha I'm taking a walk I'm going outside I'm taking a walk I don't need a ride I'm watching the birds Flying so high
song4night you never heard of John Prine before? It's okay.. Listen to his early work like Sam Stone .till now..like this one John Prine - Some Humans Ain't Human
@watergrandmother -- good observation and very accurate I think.........his extreme disappointment with the government of the day....W Bush. He wrote something similar called `The Great Compromise` back in the 70s about the state of the union at that time. Great Songs by a great artist.
I used to play this song....then take my dog over to the mayor's house in portland oregon to poop on the mayor's yard...true story...taking a walk...when the mayor would do something stupid...
It makes me sad that so few are familiar with John Prine's work one of the greatest song writers of all time! Rest in peace John Prine

John 'fukkin'" Prine...best of the best songwriter/storytellers last 45 years...I know, cause I have lived it.

Mary Scott Healey i love this music
Many of John's most enduring song are on that Diamonds in the rough. So wise & smart at so young then!
he seems to know what I need - I cry for you, John Prine
Why cry for him!! He’s not in pain any longer!! I don’t think he’d want you to cry for him! Look inside yourself while listening to one of the best!!
Miss ole John singing and telling us a story and showing us won of his cool Cadillac's
Saw John in Phoenix in '87. Bonnie Raitt open for him, he did a set, then they did a set together (including Angel from Montgomery). It was magical.
Love this song...when he says "Im taking a walk, I'm going outside," what could be simpler than that.
John Prine cracked the song writing code.
owned everything this legend has ever put out....been listening since the early 70s...
Thanks John, you will live on in the music you left us.
this man wrote the sound track of my life,can't think of many days in the last 40 yrs that i haven' listened to a john Prine song,he has brought me thru the bad times and helped me celebrate the good times
michaelb5e2 John Prine and Van Morrison are legends
He does have a way to soothe the soul. I only recently discovered him and his music speaks to me though he is gone,
Hello in there,
Wonderful!
How very very John Prine.
@ThomasEdisonThanes I saw steve goodman open for prine in toronto. I saw john before, but that night Goodman was amazing. Will never forget that show.
Ever since I heard of John Prine (way late in my own life), I'll mention him to others and they are always fans. "Hey folks, don't hide your light under a bushel. Spread the good news and tell more people about John."
Some people think John is what you call and "acquired taste," but I've been a fan of his since I first heard "I Ain't Hurtin' Nobody" and "Dear Abby."
John is a very good human being we are lucky that we had him remind us to be a little more kind and a little more patient and loving to our Beautifully flawed brothers and sisters. And I am at the top of the list at being "Beautifully Flawed" Thanks, John
Saw john in 2013 in NYC beacon theater , best time of my life. I hope to have another chance ! The best!
Every time he's on .every version.he sings and plays. He for sure got his standing ovation when he crossed those pearly gates.the world at a loss Mr john prime.may you rest in peace.god love.with tears in my heart.
Better than beer for sure, but John Prine and a beer = bliss.
zelieblue can’t be said any better
Love you John.

nobohoboful I don't know but that's the clearest tuned guitar I've ever heard that I can recall anyway

remember people sweet revenge will never let you down sweet revenge will prevail without fail and my favourite sam stone
such a sweet song, I love John Prine, seen him many times
All good music, whatever its date, is ageless - as alive and significant today as it was when it was written. What a story teller!!!! GREATNESS
God, do I miss him. No one quite like him. Another fantastic song.
Actually Dylan is a huge John Prine fan that tells ya something about John Prine right there
+David Scott Called him one of his 10 biggest influences.
David Scott dylan called him the best singer/ songwriter.
"We make one every seven years whether we need to or not."
I think about his wife and children especially holidays, they must suffer still i do. The world was a better place with him.
there is no equal,such a masterfull craftsman, you think this is easy try your hand and wits at it !. john has been giving us soulgravy since the sixties ! god bless him

John's the man.
Good song. I never heard this one.
I saw John on BBC in 1972 just before I emigrated to Canada and have been a fan ever since. I wore out Diamond in the Rough.
Better live then studio. Ithaca, ny 70 ish folk festival. Liked him but totally celebrating now beyond just getting by. JP song Smith deluxe.

just getting by---John Prine helps
The Best, Simply Put...
Thanks for posting!
This song is actually called "Taking a Walk" from the Fair & Square album.
John names this tune in the first 28 seconds.
Taylor510ceL9 Well you did fine by posting this video but the song is named "Taking a Walk" one of my favorites from his Fair and Square album.
+Taylor510ceL9 this song has 2 names...John wrote it and gave it the name" just getting by" to start with....".taking a walk" is it's final name.
@@jacquekay3179 exactly

JOHN PRINE LYRICS
"Taking A Walk"
A man came to our house
I believe it was yesterday
I would have invited him in
But I didn't have a lot to say
His anticipation of me opening the door
Outweighed my apprehension as it never had before
And drove my concentration
Right through that hardwood floor
I'm taking a walk
I'm going outside
I'm taking a walk
I'm just getting by
There's a girl in the white house
I don't even know her name
Her disheveled appearance
Speaks volumes of shame
It's an embarrassing situation
But a situation just the same
The way she walks on others
And never takes the blame
Upsets my constitution
Beyond its mortal frame
Oo-oo a-ha
I'm taking a walk
I'm going outside
I'm watching the birds
I'm just getting by
Found a card in the pocket
Of my worn out overalls
From a girl in Cedar Rapids
Now residing in Idaho Falls
I wish you could have been there
When she opened up the door
And looked me in the face
Like she never did before
I felt about as welcome
As a Wal-Mart Superstore
0o-oo - a-ha
I'm taking a walk
I'm going outside
I'm taking a walk
I don't need a ride
I'm watching the birds
Flying so high
Welcome to the club!
So great to hear John has struck a chord in another human heart! Hope you are still listening! BTW hello from Millersburg, Hawks area!
Amen, and he's even better live!!!
i'm taking a walk. forever j.p. fan
the best
Soothing music.
Just Got a new fan what brought me here was Kacey Musgrave
john's the man.
song4night you never heard of John Prine before? It's okay.. Listen to his early work like Sam Stone .till now..like this one John Prine - Some Humans Ain't Human
Yes! me too
thank you for this upload -
tells it like it is
ronnie50033 yup
Im taking a walk. Im going outside. Im watching the birds. Im just getting by.
Just coming back from a critical illness. I am taking a walk John.
This is SO much better than the later version with all the whining guitars. Renamed ‘takin a walk’
This is great music yet so basic.Two guitars and bass.Who needs more?
shimmy1952 I saw him in DAR HALL in DC 50 years or so, solo.
Great song - thanks RATKING10 for sending
yes i hear that now i was trying to figure which administration he was
talking about
thank you\watergrandmother
I'm takin' a walk...i'm jest gittin buy...
There are several clips from this concert on this channel.
Wanna be? he just wants to be John Prine. And he does it quiet well
+Jennifer Mone THANK YOU MA'AM !!!
Thanks for tuning that thing! You got close by ear, but still are out.. Always use a tuner!
I'm gettin me a Sorry Card. Just so i can be a little like John Prine.
lay lady lay
Carloz1, you could be right. Linda Tripp was certainly disheveled :-) I need to take walk.
@MrBermingham I have always assumed that it was Linda Tripp. She would fit the description and the time the song came out.
He won't say i will : Shame on you!!
@watergrandmother -- good observation and very accurate I think.........his extreme disappointment with the government of the day....W Bush. He wrote something similar called `The Great Compromise` back in the 70s about the state of the union at that time. Great Songs by a great artist.
Thanks for uploading. Did this song ever make it on to any record?
Yes
i love jp but he's gotta tune up!
I used to play this song....then take my dog over to the mayor's house in portland oregon to poop on the mayor's yard...true story...taking a walk...when the mayor would do something stupid...
