This song always brings tears to my eyes because this is the America we are losing.
Same here. I'm 58 years old and everything is moving too darn fast for me. I miss the 1970's and 80's when life was simpler. I also get teary when I hear this song and feel nostalgic.
👍
Have hope, there are good people fighting the mess we're seeing.
We have lost many Americas! This one is among my favorites.
Putting more into the infrastructure of rebuilding and expanding our rail system would be excellent for our country in my opinion. Rail travel does connect people and communities in a way that air travel just can’t.
"and the sons of pullman porters and the sons of engineers, ride their father's magic carpet made of steel." must be the best lyrics ever written.
YET ANOTHER masterpiece from Steve Goodman!
This paints such a picture......you can feel yourself on the train. City of New Orleans still runs out of Memphis TN. It departs around 3 am.........for years I I have wanted to take it to New Orleans. Living in Nashville now I just might. I wish the Nashville train station was still in operation because it's about a 4 hour drive to Memphis but will be worth it. In the 70's Geraldo Rivera had a news show that aired around 11 pm. It was called Good NIght America and this was the theme song. Love Arlo, and love this so much.
I love Arlo.
A traveller's song. So beautiful
Love love love
It was made into a movie mid 70's Arlo was the son of late folk singer Woody Guthrie, who toy story was based on,Woody died in a nursing home, Bob Dylan,Arlo and Peter from Peter Paul and Mary were there ,so Woody gave a lesson on how to right a song ,This song was recorded by Bob Dylan and Peter Paul and Mary , Bob Dylan was classified as the righter , the was Blowing In The Wind
I love this song.
God Bless Arlo!!
Truly a beautiful song!
If you like this song, you should listen to his tribute to Arlo's native state, Massachusetts. Just as beautiful.
A gifted songwriter as was his father, Woody Guthrie.
This song was written by the late beautiful songwriter and musician Steve Goodman
He does a far better version too.
My favorite singer, his father was woody guthrie.
One of my favorites!
Oh, I can't take this. I'm bawling here! 😭 I've been crying to it for 50 years.
"Coming into Los Angeles" and " When a Soldier Makes it Home" should be next. The sadness of train travel losing it's glory...old school for sure. Lovely Lovely song.
Arlo Guthrie, the singer, is the son of Woody Guthrie, an American singer-songwriter who was a significant figure in American folk music. Woody Guthrie wrote the iconic song, known all over our country by schoolchildren, “This Land Is Your Land”, one among many other great songs of Americana.
@@rmhanseniii Yes, no dispute there. I was just referencing that Arlo was the son of a famous folk song writer and singer.
@@deannawoolsey1088 you’re absolutely correct, please allow me to withdraw my original statement 😵💫
..and they removed some lines from "This Land is Your Land" because it upset the rich/oligarchs--the nerve of the common folk thinking they were entitled...
That's fascinating. But the song *this land is your land* is likely one of the first pieces of propaganda that exists, as a piece of history. Because This land was never European Lands. And the land doesn't belong to american people. The land belongs to the people it birthed.. which is people like me... Cree.. known as a native.. to others.
@@keetahbrough "There is not one square inch of land occupied by its original owners anywhere in the world "--Mark Twain
I have a suggestion,... Arlo Guthrie's Darkest Hour... it's a beautiful song
THANK YOU,!!
all the people that did this song this is the best verson
Fantastic reaction to a gorgeous song!
I was lucky enough to see Arlo in Montreal around 1970-71 at Place Des Arts. When the
curtain opened all that was on stage was a stool and a mike stand. Arlo comes out with
an acoustic guitar, sits down and entertains us for two or more hours with his wonderful
songs and silly stories. Christmas is coming up in a month, you should listen to his
Christmas song "The Pause of Mr. Claus".
Arlo Guthrie is a national treasure. My son shares the same name. His concerts were always so intimate, like you were sitting at the diningroom tablen talking and singing✌️
His father was a great American folk writer\singer. Look them up. They are both American icons.
I rode The City of New Orleans when I was in college in the 1960’s. This song always brings back memories of that time. Always love to hear it. Thanks for your reaction. I was also lucky to see Arlo in person in concert. Great time!
This was a huge hit back in the 70s. A great storyteller song, about not only a specific train (named "The city of New Orleans") but of the lifestyle and routine of the Railroad system, and it's deep history in the building of this great nation called America. This is Guthrie's best musical accomplishment in my opinion.
I dunno, as far as his story songs, "Coming In To Los Angeles" comes close hehe. But this is a bit more wholesome haha
Arlo didn't write this... it's by Steve Goodman (also recorded by Goodman first)
I agree with your opinion that it's his best musical accomplishment and you nailed the analysis of this song. Thanks!
This was my very first concert. My dad brought me along when I was 4. No wonder I love music so much!
RIP Steve Goodman. He wrote soooooo many wonderful songs. He died of leukemia much too young. Steve said that Arlo's recording of City of New Orleans basically saved his butt financially. His sense of humor couldn't be beat even though he knew he wouldn't live long. Love you Steve and Arlo. Arlo is still with us though he had a serious stroke and had to stop touring.
Great song 👌❤️
Great song and reaction. #goodvibes
There are so many things and actions that are taken for granted every day.The focus of the song is the actions of this train and its business.It is American life...just a small picture,but a reminder of how important it’s function is to so many.Beautiful song.
Ive always loved this tune
Arlo Guthrie is still alive and last I read he got married earlier this year, blessings to him and his wife. Such a great song (as performed by him, credit to the songwriter).
Super lyrics ....And the sons of Pullman Porters and the sons of Engineers,ride their fathers magic carpets made of steel!
One of the best songs about life in America ever written (kudos- Steve Goodman), and so well delivered by Arlo. So glad I got to hear him play it live once ! He tells cool stories in between songs too.
A favorite. I sing along and not just to mess with my Husky 😊
Thank you!
Love your reaction! You just know good music! This song is America and Americana in a nutshell!
Love this song love Woody Guthrie Pete Seeger and Woody Guthrie's son Arlo my parents my siblings all rode trains to travel occasionally it's a different experience from cars buses or planes
This song is in the same category as The Weight, for me. It's just a perfect song that transcends time.
You can’t really understand this song fully without knowing it’s genesis in the writer, Steve Goodman, and his life and death, and how he convinced Arlo Guthrie to sing it.
Arlo’s father was the great Woody Guthrie, lyricist of This Land Is Your Land. The complete personification of folk music. I have to thank you because I had forgotten who sang it.
Thanks Harry--another terrific reaction!
Storytelling at it's finest.
This song was written and performed by Steve Goodman...you should check it out. It's great. I love his version and Arlo's. They are both great.
America is going down the tubes.
Such a good but sad song. I get emotional every time I hear it.
Lovely reaction to one of my favourite train songs ... 🚂
This song was written by Steve Goodman who died of cancer in his early thirties. Listen to and watch anything and everything you can of him. He was one of the greatest guitarists I ever saw. I was fortunate to hear him in person several times in our hometown Chicago. He used to introduce his playing of this as "I'd like to do a medley of my hit song." "Good Morning America" became the name of a morning news show called "Good Morning America" and this was their theme song.
That's hilarious! Thank-you.
I'll take Steve's rendition over this.
I took Amtrak to see my dad last week and I always hear this song in my head. It's beautiful 🚂❤️
His dad was Bob Dylan’s idol, you gotta check out “Alice’s Restaurant”; it’s an epic protest song in the most brilliant fashion 👍
Arlo Guthrie's Alice's Restaurant is played on American Thanksgiving day on some independent radio stations. It's a real treat, but nearly 20 minutes. It's a wonderful and funny story. His father was Woody Guthrie, who may be familiar to you.
Yes, please react to it, Hari! It is a work of genius!
@@bowtangey6830, I hate the thought of overselling a song in case it doesn't get big numbers, but it's brilliant and such a tradition.
I listen to Alice's Restaurant every year on Thanksgiving!
@@steamr0ll, I should start again.
I share it with my FB friends every Thanksgiving. It's tradition
Listened to this three times today at work, and I'm Canadian.
One of my favorite songs ever. It is so homespun. This is the backbone of America people.
Sweet nostalgia
Arlo is the son of an American folk icon, Woody Guthrie. Arlo grew up around some of the best folk singers of his dad's era including Pete Seeger and the other members of The Weavers. He paid his dues touring for several decades. His voice is so pure that at times you can hear it ring.
Woody wrote many of America's most important folk songs in the 30's and 40's. "Do Re Mi", "This Land is Your Land", "Roll On, Columbia, Roll On", and "So Long, It's Been Good to Know Yuh".
I like watching you HarrisBest, I think your a old soul and has taste in Music.
Such a memory from the early '70s! My Dad was a big fan of old trains, and this song triggered a bunch of fond memories.
Arlo Guthrie's voice always gives me vibes of Bob Dylan. Great American folk singer.
This song written by Steve Goodman in 1971, has been covered by John Denver, Judy Collins, Johnny Cash, Willy Nelson and Canadian singer Roch Voisine.
Another great Arlo song, "Coming into Los Angeles". Great reaction Harri. Thanks Harri and Craig. Great trip back. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
You’re welcome!
There are quite a few singers who don't have technically great voices, but we enjoy their uniqueness .....Arlo is one of those along with Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan, Kris Kristofferson, Woodie Guthrie, Willie Nelson, Roy Orbison, even the infamous Sonny Bono .
@@bgallagher8129 Roy Orbison doesn’t have a technically great voice? Are you serious?
Well, he is the son of the legendary Woody Guthrie for crying out loud. And Bob Dylan himself was heavily influenced by this guy's father, even to the point of relocating from his native Hibbing Minnesota to New York to follow Woody as a young folk singer toward the end of Woody's life.
@@craigaust3306 Yeah, Orbison's voice is incredible.
Great song my Dad loved Folk music and brings back wonderful memories.
Arlo's voice is perfect for this song.
Love your scarf...you dressed for us today!
My favorite song from Arlo (from his Running Down The Road album) is "Oh, In the Morning." It is absolutely beautiful, and you never hear it being played. I think you would like it very much.
Harri..I was born and raised in New Orleans !!
I was home on leave from the Navy the first time I heard this, being familiar with Arlo Guthrie, I played it a few more times on the juke box because I loved it. At the grand ole age of 17 at the time. I could usually buy beer IF I went to the bar in uniform, in fact if the WW2 vets were in the bar I wouldn't have to buy anything.
Had forgotten about this song I loved so much. Thanks for bringing it back to me.
Arlo Guthrie is the son of folk singer Woody Guthrie, who wrote and sang This Land Is Your Land; So Long, It's Been Good to Know You; Do-Re-Mi; I Ain't Got No Home in This World Any More; Talking Dust Bowl Blues; Roll On, Columbia; Philadelphia Lawyer; Worried Man Blues; Jesse James; and many other songs.
I love the concrete imagery in this song. It really paints a picture. The line about the disappearing railroad blues is about how passenger rail in the U.S. is fading away. We still have Amtrak, but people don't use it much. Trains are a big part of the country's history, and we still use them a lot for freight, but not for personal travel.
One of my favorite Steve Goodman songs is A Dying Cub Fan's Last Request. He was a big Chicago Cubs fan, and they were a losing team through most of his lifetime. Sadly, he died of leukemia in 1984.
Steve Goodman wrote this song. Arlo made it famous. 😊 I was a passenger on the great lady back home to Chicago many times.
So many songs about New Orleans from the 70s.. ..
Arlo is still with us. Fortunately.
This song was written by the late Steve Goodman, a wonderful songwriter,( "Lookin' for Trouble", "Banana Republics") and an inspired guitarist. He didn't have the "Number one with a bullet" kind of success and was plagued by health issues later in life but he wrote some great songs.
A wonderful story, wonderful lyrics, wonderful accompaniment. Woody and Arlo are truly American treasures. Where are today's story-tellers? Thank you Harri, for playing this, and reacting to it. You did good!
Great question, where are today's great lyricists?
Steve Goodman wrote it though.
@@steveullrich7737 jason isbell
@@steveullrich7737Eminem is a better writer than Dylan. second only to Cohen imo
This song was about the demise of the American passenger trains in the mid-60s to mid-70s. The government had to come in to continue passenger rail service (Amtrack) as jet travel and the interstate highway system had made passenger service not profitable for the major railroads. I was lucky, my grandfather worked for MKT railroad and I got to ride on the now long gone Rock Island railroad (which also has a song about it, Rock Island Line, done by the great Johnny Cash)
I love this song, a hymn to train travel in America. Because of this song, Amtrak named its train from Chicago to New Orleans the "City of New Orleans."
Steve Goodman was a very special young man. And great songwriter.
I’m a big Woody fan. Never listened to Arlo but I must
Love your reaction keep it up
HariBest, indeed you are!
I do love watching your reaction, Bro.
This song lived on futher with Willie Nelson and Crew.
Arlo suffered a stroke in 2020 but still lives. His father Woody is an important American Folksinger, died young from Huntington's Disease, and Arlo continued that singing legacy has also contributed to American Folk.
It's about the death of rail transit in general, not a specific line, and about the death of the corresponding culture.
Arlo is a music genius.🎸☮️🌎
My late husband was an AMTRAK conductor. The stories he told, both good and the bad. Lots of famous people and some horrible accidents. From Chicago to St. Louis and back.
Thanks Harri.
True American folk song
Love this song! Willie Nelson also did a great version of this
this song is written by the late great Steve Goodman. You should check out his "TURNPIKE TOM" as well as his other stuff. What a loss it was when Steve left this world. 😢
So young too. Did you ever hear My Old Man by him? Such a heartfelt and heartbreaking song.
@@RicoBurghFan Yes. So sad. I have listened to al Steve's songs, actually.
@@RicoBurghFan great song.. John prine does an amazing version too
I was lucky enough to see Steve Goodman live in a small coffee house just off Harvard Square in the early seventies. He was awesome.
Don't forget his homage to tow truck drivers: Lincoln Park Pirates. As a native Chicagoan, it always makes me smile. Great memory there!
Arlo has that Bob Dylan twang.
Such a Nostalgic song.Had some relatives who worked on the City of New Orleans.
There is a wonderful duo of Arlo and Emmylou Harris singing Woody's "Deportee", a song which Woody didn't record. There is a hard-to-find video of them singing it on the site Daily Motion in France. Emmylou is another one should listen to. In addition, she is so amazingly lovely. Download it quickly in case it disappears again.
To understand Arlo - you must know his father Woody and his music.
This song always sends me back to my childhood in the 1950's when passenger trains were a still a way to travel from town to town.
Steve Goodman what prolific songwriter... Song by one of the best singers of the era
My great uncle Carl worked for the Milwaukee road .
From FDL south
Arlo is one of those musicians that must be experienced live ,the whole show ,not just the indivual songs .
I love your reaction’s and your really a great guy 🙏👍
The other "story-song" that ranks right up at the top of the chart is "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" by legendary Canadian singer/songwriter Gordon Lightfoot.
Always loved this song. Actually, I grew up in Kankakee. About 60 miles south of Chicago. Spent 45 years of my life there. ;)
This song should be the Anthem of "Americana" Music. We have lost so many of the greats, Woody Guthrie, Pete Seager, etc. I would love you to listen to David Bromberg, his story of "Mr. Bojangles" will bring you to tears.
Steve Goodman wrote the song. He was dying from cancer so he took the train to vist his family in central Illinois on the ride back he came up with the song.
