Lyrics:
You come home late and you come home early
You come on big when you're feeling small
You come home straight and you come home curly
Sometimes you don't come home at all
So what in the world's come over you
And what in heaven's name have you done
You've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness
You're out there running just to be on the run
Well I got a heart that burns with a fever
And I got a worried and a jealous mind
How can a love that'll last forever
Get left so far behind
It's crossed the evil line today
Well, how can you ask about tomorrow
We ain't got one word to say
You're out there running just to be on the run
You're out there running just to be on the run - Hudba
After 3 tours in Viet Nam John Prine was one of my saviors. Kris Kristofferson and John Prine rescued me in a basement apartment in Buffalo, NY in 1973-74. Their words brought solace to my wounded soul and made me a better citizen of this country. Thank you both for your service...not in combat but in healing guys like me. The power of songwriters should never be underestimated. RIP Mate!
3 tours in Iraq. I completely understand
Holding you in my heart,Thomas Boyhan. I am of that time. Didn't serve,but lost classmates.
I hope all is as well as it can be for you now, Thomas. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your pain and sacrifice and RIP to Mr Prine.
Trump killed John Prine.
Thank you for your service and thank you God For John Prine......
A sad day when the world lost John Prine.
How can I find someone who is on Untruth Social, I'd love to post Some humans ain't human, on Donald site, it so speaks of his character.
@@johac7637 GFY with your TDS.....
We just lost the greatest singer songwriter of our time who made a incalculable impact on the world and me 😭😭😭
Heartbroken
💔
No words to describe this, only sadness and anger..😢
so sad since I heard this morning, hard to walk away from this
THIS SUCKS FUCK CORONA We love u John
16 years ago I just got out of a treatment center in Toronto, I went to see John Prine at a venue in the same city with two of my best friend Dom Senese a veteran and Jason Sessions who worked in film at that time, Packed house, a lot of Vietnam vets, I had been a Fan for years. Jimmy Rankin opened for John. God and John kept me sober that day and many more 24 hrs after, and for that I am grateful John Prine.
The Man, The Musician, The Legend.
Loved John.
Congratulations!! Keep working it!
He painted with the brush of words. Almost a year later and I still grieve. R.I.P. John. You will always be missed.
I know, he passed on my 65th birthday and I love his music more and more, such a treasure and such a loss...
Well put and so true.....I also miss him everyday. I don't think he ever realized what he meant to every one who loved him,
The most accurate description of John Prine I know of.
Wow Kae, you took the words right out of my mouth!
to this day
This song came from John and Rachel’s failing marriage and I believe this is during their separation/divorce period. They both look incredibly sad and glance at one another. You stunned us all John when you left this earth. You were such a force I thought you would be here forever. Thank you for being our therapist, humanist, storyteller, songwriter, artist, global citizen, our conscience, enlightener, socially conscious and empathetic guide to life. You are severely missed. Thanks for your musical legacy. You will go on forever🕊️🎶❤️
He should have been much more famous. His songs will never die. He was the real deal.
So few real deals. He plays metaphorically with Cash, Orbison etal. Died too young. Life isn't always fair.
I’ve been listening to John Prine since the late 70s when I first heard Sam Stone on the radio and never stopped since! I live in England where not so many people have ever heard of John
RIP you’re music lives on Sir!
@@robertharrison5820 And i was 15yr's old when someone played Sam Stone for me. I went to Rolling Stones record's, and like you i loved everything he wrote ever since!! Plus he lived and worked as mail carrier, in Maywood Pk Illinois, just minutes away from us. It was a very sad day when he died. And I'm telling my friends, there like John who? But at the same time, the people people who didn't know of him, now love him!! And now people say, how come i never heard of him before, he's great!! He simply didn't radio time!! I think John Prine, knows he finally got the recognition he deserved, so many years ago!! Rip John Prine. Amen 🙏🏼✌🏼✌🏼💖❤️
He may not have billions, but he sure has an elite club
@christinedureau3467 YES FORSURE!! He was like no other entertainer!!
My wife and I in New Zealand had never heard of John Prine until he died and now he is a constant feature in our lives
I “also” had never heard of John Prine before, today is the first time I have ever heard him. Hello NZ, I am in Canada, I graduated from high school in the 1970s and I am a big 60’s & 70’s classic rock fan. I really hated John’s song called “Sam Stone”. >>This live song in the above video I do like as is a very good one and soothing
I hadn't heard of John until 2 weeks ago when RNZ played "I Remember Everything". We have missed out in NZ.
Illegal smile is a great song.
JP's music has been a staple in my musical evolution since the late 60's. Prine wrote about life, primarily life on the fringes of society. Growing up poor in the southern US, I related to the word pictures he painted of the disadvantaged and marginalized. John Prine was a truly wonderful human. RIP John!
i didnt know john till i lost my wife now lake Marie is my memories of her standing by peaceful waters brings us together in my memories now i miss her an john to
To the 359 who disliked this video: what in the world has come over you?
Clever!
They died
No Taste, and certainly No Class...
Billy Mcpherson, (and his cronies) what in the world has come over you?
Do you live in a world where there is something wrong with people who dont like the same as you? Is there something wrong with you if you dislike something?
Do you like everything?
Cant you think of something more constructive to say?
Cant you compliment John Prine on the song instead of homing in on what you consider a negative? Is this the only way you can be heard?
Do you think John Prine gives a shit or needs you as his spokesman?
Grow up tosser.
@@gbwildlifeuk8269 Puns are not a thing where you live huh?
To be honest I never heard of John Prine but when I saw that he was sick I went to listen and read his biography, WOWW I discovered songs I had heard before but didn't know it was John Prine . I have been listening to his music for days now and I love it so much, Thanks John Prine for your beautiful songs!!! R.I.P.
I knew of John, but not of the depth of his catalog. I've been listening since Friday. I now pity myself that I never got to see him perform live. Good friends of mine saw him this past summer; they are still in tears, but I'm glad that they got to see him one last time.
I'm very picky about my folk singers. Not
that I know much about folk singing mind you. John is at the top.
Thank you for your comment. I had heard of John Prine. He lived down the road from me. Just listening to him recently too.
@@Imissthepostoffice Lucky you girl
Tony....John's music will live on forever. He understood the common person in a simple yet complex way and was able to convey it with honesty and humor.
It's a mighty mean and a dreadful sorrow
RIP John Prine
Always loved that line....
Ar dheis Dè go raibh a Anam dìlis
May his noble soul rest in peace
Greetings from Dublin Ireland brothers and sisters sincere condolences to his family... exceptional singer-songwriter beautiful spirit....
Much loved HERE
It's a mighty mean and a dreadful sorrow......
I wrote same thing...
Just so you know I still cry when hearing "Hello
Thanks--Exactly how I feel, too. Been a John Prine fan since the release of his very first record album. And I always will be. So long, John!!
Well said and i spent myself unknowingly. See ya John.
Agree soooo much.
I really didn't discover John Prine until I was 66. He died within a year. No one ever touched my heart like his lyrics, ie Summer's End. As a father whose kids lost their Mom at 5 and 6, this song crushes me in a heartfelt manner. God Bless You, John. RIP
I'm 100 % with you Mike!
Me to I was 63 I was tipping around CZcams I found him
...yeah...he spoke words it took forever for some of us to hear...sorely, sorely missed...
I'm so sad for your loss and the loss for your little children-and for your wife who missed you all before she was gone, I'll wager. Even if you discovered him later in your life, and "knew" him for that last year, remember that a star that is burning out will shine more brightly as it goes. Terri
I was about the same age my friend... The man had a gift!!!!
The heartbreak of losing someone who can't be replace. That's what's happened today. Rest in peace, John.
And he would say (along w the great philosophers) that no one can really be replaced. RIP beloved sage.
That holds true to every and all living beings
No one ever did more with a few simple chords and decievingly deep words.
Simple chords and simple lyrics. But they were all genius!
helps me remember what i want to forget with a lot of love.
There's a hole in Daddy's arm.....Wow!
@@dannyherron9455 Yeah every song has at least one line that slays you -- most of his songs have nothing but great lines. My son's favourite is "against all odds, honey we're the big door prize"! I can't pick one.
@@danielboone8748 Sr. Booger, please clean out your ears. The line is "you come home straight and you come home curly." This is called a metaphor. Look it up.
This is one of those songs and performances that just cannot be allowed to play in the background--you have to stop and listen to it, then do the same thing again. (And maybe again!)
He's the best song writer who has ever lived. Rest in peace you absolute Legend. Out there running just to be on the run. Please everyone spread the gospel of John Prine 🙏 the rest of the world needs to know his music. Please people spread the word.
Lake Marie
Best song to explain addiction I've ever heard, or ever will
He is up there. Love Guy Clark and Townes VZ and there are many many. But he was a special man.
He was one of the tops. I learned about him later though, never realized he was a mailman in Maywood, Illinois 60153 at about the same time I was a window clerk at La Grange, Illinois 60525 ; pretty much right down the road .. (the western suburbs of Chicago) Too bad for me, a Johnny-come-lately, but I now see what a talent he was .. internet has a lot of stuff
Nanci Griffith brought me here. RIP to her and John. You sure did create some beauty while you were here…
_You come home late and you come home early_
_You come home big when you’re feelin’ small_
_You come home straight and you come home curly_
_Sometimes you don’t come home at all_
The best verse ever written for a country song.
Or any song, for that matter...
I was a singer/songwriter in Nashville in the mid eighties. I happened to be admiring a 1917 Martin when I heard familiar voice. Turning toward that voice I saw John opening a guitar case on the glass counter. He was about to show this incredible Telecaster to George Gruhn. As he clicked the latches open he matter of factly and humbly told Gruhn: "Steve Goodman gave me this one right before he died...it's a '64". I don't think they could get together on price so John picked it up and headed toward me to go out the door. Interestingly though he stopped beside me and said:. "How's it goin? I said I was doin' great until I opened this music book about the Nashville Number System. He looked at the page of 1's, 4's and 5's and said "Damn, you gotta learn all that just to play" I walk the Line"? We got a good chuckle out of that.."See Ya"...then out the door he went. True Story.
RIP to my friend Ian. He loved John Prine so much. God bless Chief.
Best wishes from England xxx
I have a hard time driving and listening to john now.......my eyes fill with tears...been in my world since 1972...I lost my brother....
Your telling my story!!!
In the 1970's, a few months after our precious daughter, Jenna Rose, was born, John came to Columbia, SC to play an outdoor concert at "The Horseshoe" on the campus. At least 20 true friends came to our house to eat, listen to his songs, congregate, play chess, and planned to meet there, having to go in different cars. We, of course, got separated but it was fine. I found a place under an old oak tree with a huge canopy, on a bit of a riser on the ground. There, I spread out a handmade quilt, laid under the shade and nursed my baby girl while we listened to John Prine. I could see him while I was laying down because it just worked out like that! :). It was a wonderful day all around-just wonderful. I had already been following him for a number of years-she was born early 1979-and I continued-as one does (!) with him and when Jenna died just barely 4 years ago after a nearly 20 year battle with brain tumors and then really bad cancer in multiple areas of her body-I could not listen to music. I had "Taken" her with me about a month and a half before she was born to see Bob Dylan in Columbia-and juked and jived as much as was smart. When she was 7 or 8, I took her again to hear him and this time see him, with a group of friends-indoors. I took her to the Unitarian Church to meet with the Japanese Buddhist Monks who were walking across the world to deliver a signed statement of no nuclear anything-signed-to Washington-they took turns continually walking when they were on a boat-and were staying with friends. I took her to zoos and on walks and did the wonderful and daily ordinary things I was so happy to do. She was often our quiet and watchful "centerpiece" when we had good friends over almost every weekend for family dinner-she simply sat quietly in the center and watched everyone-never touched or moved anything-just loved it. She did the same with the Christmas tree-I never worried about her touching any electrical wire or ornament or branch, she simply sat "inside" the tree and delighted in it-she became one with the tree. She became a wonderful artist-mixed media, photography, and fine poetry. She wrote a children's book. She had friends on the computer all over the world for the better part of 20 years who did fine things for one another and had interests in common-animal welfare, vegetarian/vegan cooking, art and photography sites, made such great friends- for her there was no "Just" on the computer. When she began to lose her hearing the computer helped her express herself better with folks and vice versa-though she was very involved with caring for animals-working at a place nearby while going to school full-time, too. Then the trigeminal neuralgia came in and it was benign brain tumors. 5 brain tumors and 3 surgeries later, they stopped coming back. We traveled 3 hours from our home to get her the best care. For nearly 20 years- because after she had beaten the brain tumors, cancer reared its ugly head and took over her body-she was not even a surgical candidate to begin with-multiple metastatic Stage 4 adenocarcinomas- in so many places with SO many tumors- and nearly died so many times that first year at the same hospital. But then, all the tumors left-there were way more than 30 in her liver alone, for example-and she had surgery! We had Christmas and went to Homeland Gardens in our lovely little hometown, left to the city by horse people who wintered here and had their horses because of the great natural footing and climate. Two weeks later she did not feel well and she had an appointment scheduled but we had to follow the ambulance to Charleston, SC where she went straight into ICU and was dead 5 days later. We had her with us for another four years after the first year of treatment. She was strong-and always a watcher-I knew those two things the night she was born! She had turned 40 only a week or so earlier-said , "I don't want turn 40", with her usual grin-so I told her she could stick at 39. Irony is always dangerous!!! Her body and organs were shutting down and nothing they did worked-it was so different this time. They could not even get to the cancer, which had stolen back in with a vengeance, because of all of the other deathly problems. She said Goodbye instead of Goodnight one night- the bravest and most loving act I've ever known-she knew I would've stayed-I always stayed, but she knew. That was the last time we ever spoke-although her Dad and I stayed by her bed the last 36-40 hours- and I tried to help her leave this world with as much love and care as I had had the privilege of bringing her into it. There were some issues with her face after the 3rd brain surgery but she never let that stop her from being around anyone! So, I listen to dear John, and I remember that day on the quilt with my darling newborn and I see what he went through with cancer and how he kept going- and she always did, too. Never complained, not ever- not once. One time only, she said, "I'm tired of being sick." That was her last full year. I thank you all for doing this-I did not realize it was a special Hello InThere Fundraiser-and after 20 years of traveling and hospital, it has been financially sort of rough. I will tell you that I have never, ever driven or walked past an old person on a porch or in a park, wherever, since "Hello, In There" came out that I have not waved. And I'm just an old hippie now- glad of it and so grateful to have spent the time I did with the musicians that changed things in my life and the people that did, too. Hello. Jenna's Momma, Terri
I am here in Killarney Ireland..reading the beautiful sharing of your daughter story..tears rolling down my face..
We have a very special girl in our lives Jennifer who has special needs ..45 now we are growing older I often worry & wonder who will take of her when we are gone to give her love..she asks for so little
but gives so much especially at Christmas & the Turkey she so looks forward to.
Like me you love music keep loving it & remember all the beautiful times..you & your loving family have had & will have.
God Bless you all.
I thank you for sharing your story of such a beautiful human being. Like the other person who wrote a reply, I too have tears running down my face while reading your post and listening to this song.
I have lost my wife and daughter just over three years ago now, and I try to celebrate their lives with the same joy with which they lived. I hope you have found a sense of peace, and maybe if I'm fortunate I will someday find my sense of peace. ❤
Prayers for John Prine.
No thanks.
Just crying my eyes out can't believe

Someone said, the best friend he never met. So true
This is one of John Prine’s perfect songs. I can’t choose which one is the most beautiful. Guess I love them all
Yep Mr Prine is realy a "no nonsens" artist, his messages go straight to peoples heart - thank you John Prine for your lovely work!
Me too, Hans, me too
Every single one!
I think for my mom it is Hello In There
I Love John Prine SO VERY MUCH. This Melody is My Fav...if I MUST choose. A great talent who lives FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS.
Sometimes John makes my heart hurt. And that's a good thing.
I am just bereft. Our American legend is gone forever.
Gone but never forgotten RIP mailman
That is the way I feel too. No one lives forever but will always have John's music in our hearts. Thank you John for what you have given to mankind
There is no song by this wonderful man that should not be pure gold. Best songwriter that ever lived. RIP dear friend.
You know, ALLOT of people write songs and sing about breaking up or leaving some one or vice versa... But NOBODY writes about "Loneliness" like John Prine. I think that I've finally figured it out. That's one of the main things that sets him apart from other song writers! The ability to capture those elusive and haunting feelings like loneliness. He sings about that allot, particularly being lonely when you are still in the relationship...(i.e. "Angel From Montgomery", "Hello In There", etc.) He is a true wordsmith!
David Watkins You should check out Lucinda Williams if you like Prine.
+David Watkins Exactly! This one is so moving to me!
Good call Jim.....she's awesome! A great contemporary of JP
good call
To me one of his best songs about loneliness is The Late John Garfield blues, I think you are absolutely right about his writing :)
I recall my youth... My dad would play John Prine all the time. I'd say "Dad. turn that stuff off - I got a girlfriend coming over"..... Thanks Dad... for introducing me to John Prine!!!!
Love reading that story. I teach High School and whenever I have a chance to play songs in class, I always choose JP. Over the years, I have had students come up to me on the street and thank me for turning them onto John.
I have to thank an American girl called Susan, who I met when backpacking through Budapest, Hungary in 1994, who liked my Bob Dylan t-shirt, and who turned me onto Nanci Griffith, who then turned me onto JP. I made it to JP eventually.
Thumps up man.
Bob j+ that is pretty funny you made me Lol.
See, right there, what you just wrote....that could be a JP song :) Love it.
Possibly the BEST version of this masterpiece. RIP John.
Having his muse up there singing along with him just amplifys the emotions for sure
Together with Rachel Peer, he is at his best. RIP JOHN Prine. /CD
And RIP Rachel Peer.
@@corneliadenninger5395 Indeed. Perfect.
John prine we never knew how much we would miss you .You were the special one
I've been singing this man's praises and his songs for 40 years...He is the best poet/songwriter/story teller that EVER lived...I've loved his stuff from the start...and he just keeps getting better...I'm so glad he chose to share his music with the rest of us mortals...
He's great. Tom Waits?
John Hartford is right up there too.
He doesn't beat Waits, but he's right up there with him.
Let's not forget Kris Kristofferson too - all these talents are Americana treasures.
Kris Kristofferson? You’re kidding right?
As a man born and raised in Muhlenberg Co KY.... John was required listening. As I got older and dug into all of his work....there are so many great songs. A master songwriter...... I first heard this song as a cover done by Alabama 3.....it is one of those songs that hit home to me. It feels like he wrote this song with me in mind.....
Just about all of them reminds me of my self. Songwriters, poets…they have to make that connection. Too many to name here but Kris, Merle, Bob and of course John… they take me across the page. Only a few can do that. Know I’ve left some off. Thank you JP
Why do tears come to my eyes when I listen to great music
V strom,
Because it marks a time in your life that, for better and worse, you can never get back to -- always suspended in a memory of how it was, and who you, and those around you, were. (Especially bittersweet if it involved blasting down the road on two wheels, fresh air banging into your face ... )
@@ArcoZakus Well said
because the words hit the heart !
Because you have a big heart, and a love that can't be denied.
Because that's what great music does.
Just heard John has Covid 19, prayers for him to recover.
He just passed away.
He died today.
One of the best story tellers lyrically sadly didn't make it. Keep thinking bout his song when I get to heaven, hope every word is true.
You didn't have enough faith, heathen!
Unfortunately John has lost his battle with CoVid 19 - may he continue to sing with the angels and rest in peace.
If you don't love John Prine, you need professional help.
Angel from Montgomery...the best!
I was walking to work early one cold, windy winter morning in 1989 and the reception on my Walkman was crap! Trying to find a station and came across Big Old Goofy World. Changed my like of music style completely. Caught his show around 20 years ago at the Grand Opera House in Wilmimgton, DE. I have since become acquainted with Hugh Campbell. In fact, I spent a couple of hours earlier today with him chewing the rag and then came the music. You would probably like his music and also his brother Zane. They just happen to be nephews of Ola Belle Reed, the matriarch of bluegrass.
Love it, Eric !! John has changed a lot of lives !!
Ya no chit man
283 people need professional help
A friend always said to me, if you’re a friend of Prine ,you’re a friend of mine
Every time I listen to this I wish I could hit the LIKE button just one more time
Such a deep and a beautiful song for those of us who are struggling with loneliness mind comes in the form of losing my little Maltese dog I have really discovered loneliness
JOHN AT HIS PRIME
Never met a John Prine song I didn’t like. One of a kind. I’m gonna wear this out. The others, too.
If CZcams had a mechanical PLAY button, mine would be worn out by now playing John Prine songs.
So sad to see him go, what a honest human with heart of Gold. I have been praying for his recovery. I heard him so far away in a small Indian Ocean Island of Sri Lanka. I have been a big fan of his and what beautiful songs he wrote. Sure he is in Heaven already. I wanted to see him live someday.... maybe someday somewhere....... Prayers to the whole Prine Family at home.. Blessings John.
What kind words from across the ocean
beautiful testimony Gitan ...gone too soon....
God bless you sir!
RIP John.... had to edit, this man is an icon to American music. And if you think not, simply go away !… John you are missed more everyday...
When you listened to John, you just knew no matter what, it would be a better day tomorrow
March 29th 2020 - John Prine hospitalized with COVID-19 symptoms.......praying for you John.
My Soul Brother, thru the Jungles, and the Streets of Life his poetic voice guided me to “ do the right thing “❤ John,Thank You Forever
One of the greatest songwriters of his generation..
I saw John Prine at a folk festival at Cornell in 1974 and he became a huge part of my life. His music and words have been with me through good and bad.....Thank you John
This is the epitome of musicians playing to and for the song.
This performance always gives me chills. It is so beautiful, so sad, so piercing and true.
I can only imagine how many sidewalks and curbs you tripped on while delivering junk mail and writing music in your head. So talented!
Just love Philip Donnelly's guitar playing on this.
ROD RAYNER Amazing guitar
Yes that's great indeed. /CD
So sweet.
Most guys use a B bender Tele to get those steel guitar notes. He does it all with his fingers.
Absolute Super with a capital "S"
I can’t believe he’s gone. I’m so sad for all of us.
What a joy he was. What a loss.
i'd been in the canadian army. i had bad dreams. when i heard sam stone i became a life long fan of this great poet and philosopher.
It's a less humane world with him gone.
Time for us all to step up to add humanity.
@@helenmulcahy73 If ever there was a time, it's now.
I know what you mean,I understand nobody lives forever.But how is the world a better place with John gone.
How can anyone not live this!
Who in the world would do a thumbs down on John Prine? Wow ! Man we miss you John !
We're born - we live and then we die..with so many memories in between.
John - Thank you for All of the wonderful memories ...Sleep now, with the Angels. You will be sorely missed.
John Prine RIP. Philip Donnelly RIP , Great sound
I am really saddened by the death of John Prine.I'm so glad I was able to see him live!!
Dudes so super cool ... personifies the real American ... he's about as real as it gets ...from Perth Australia
"I got a love that'll last forever, yet I'm left so far behind"
Rest Easy John Prine😥
I could listen to john all night
Wish we had him back. He was one of us.
What shocks me is looking at the words and music on a page, So simple , just a few chords, but so much power built from such simple pieces.Like the old blues
He is a true poet period. Thank the Lord i found him.
Love Mr Prine
Oh John, we miss you so much. Thanks for everything.
"How can a love that lasts forever get left so far behind" That is the line that hooked me into this song many years ago and still jumps out and grabs me by the collar today. John Prine is still a songwriters songwriter.
On the upside, news of his passing has let many other people in on what some of us have known for decades, John was one of our greatest songwriters. It's been said that Elvis sold many more albums after his death than when he was alive. Let's hope that more and more people come to know John, through his music, over the coming years. Songs he wrote fifty years ago are just as relevant now as they were then, they will continue to be fifty years and more from now. RIP, John, you will be missed.
I hope so. I love his music so much. I wish I could have seen him live. He will be greatly missed. I love your music Mr. John Prine.
I would add that not only one of the greatest songwriters, but probably the best of all.
@@paulandersen9492 Not probably. Definitely the best of all.
@@mmiller1188 Agreed
John prine's passing has been the most devastating thing I can recall in my whole entire 58 years that's broken my heart into so badly but we do have his songs to listen to but then it'll never be the same the same! I mean how many people do you know that can kick cancer twice besides my mother she did and then have something like the corona devastatingly take his life at the drop of a hat! I can only imagine his wife must feel real bad because she survived the virus and he didn't regret the terrible thing to have you wait to carry prayers for her prayers for John rest in peace John you are a mighty Man!
Such a sad but lovely song
John Prine will never be replaced but I love all the kids he inspired and mentored. He tended a garden before he left us and I can just imagine him pick in’ and grinnin’ and smilin’ down upon them all .
@Hello Mac, hope my comment wasn't taken as a form of invasion of your comment's privacy. I'm here to make friends, how are you? Where are you from?
A very true original, Kris kerstofferson said he wrote like he was 150 years old . His songs brought my mind to peace.
An amazing song. John looks like he is just about in tears all the way through. Run it several times from 3:10 and you catch a quick look toward him from his soon-to-be-ex wife Rachel, singing harmony with him. A mixture of pain and anger, while John just looks sad. This is a poignant express of a couple in great pain. Great sadness, and still yet great beauty. This is life.
Looked to me like she was having an orgasm.
yeah I noticed that!
Yes-great truth, Scott.

Had a situation just like that... I’d did make me cry, but.....
Will forever miss your wisdom and your kindness
A great American original. R.I.P.
I love these two❤️
Hello, So sorry for the infringe on your privacy. Beautiful song. How are you?
This is my all time favorite John Prine song!! I grew up listening to Prine, I learned guitar at a young age and loved to TRY to play his songs. I was fortunate enough to see him in Ottawa Canada in 1979 ( front row center seats...wow!!!!) and again in 1982 in Alberta Canada with Steve Goodman. Both shows were incredible!! I Still love listening to you often Mr. Prine. Hope you and Steve are still playing the odd song together:) Rest in peace my friend :( 🥲
Forever WE will be Blessed due to this saviors leadership. Families are better because of his teachings..
Peace brother..
Thank you John. You will be missed.
Got ot listen to John on the radio in 1973. Seen him in concert 5 times. Wow wow what a gift to my heart and soul!! You made me a better man John. See you in heaven
one of a kind. i hope someone like him comes around again in my lifetime.i must admit he would be hard to replace.r.i.p. mr.prine.

I love John Prine and his incredible band. Great songwriter and singer. One of my favorite songs.
They both look like their hearts have been broken. Love John Prine, glad he lived to love again.
Neil Brown And now in love with an Irish lady from County Donegal...
We-ll miss you, John. You've been a big part of my life for 50 yrs.
How can anyone Not love his lyrics. I’ve been a fan since I first heard him in 1983. I’m just sorry I hadn’t heard of him before that. John Prine is wonderful.
Rest his soul, John Prine gave the world soulful songs.
John could write and sing. Such talent!
And play guitar
One of the greatest song writers of social commentaries is now gone. RIP John - the world will miss you.
The one and only for a long time-
I will never ever forget listening to this song over and over again in 2020! Working in Long Island building Covid hospitals . The penultimate version
JUST one of the GREATS !
Miss you John. I am sure happy we have CZcams to continue seeing you "in person" and always will.
Lets hope John pulls through , he has had enough thrown at him in his life and none of us need the this plight right now , good luck John .
Beautiful x
I really didn't know John Prine music...really hadn't heard of him...the first song I ever heard was summer's wind...a beautiful..and sad song at the same time....then I heard one of his last songs..I remember everything....absolutely...awesome...now I look for his other music....and its like..finding a diamond...some may not resonate with me.....but either way...damn....he was a great song writer...a lost talent today
I'm sorry...summer's end...
I didn't know of him until the Democratic Convention in 2020 when they did a segment of who had passed that years. The song they used was "I remember everything" which brought me to tears. I then looked up his music. Boy, I realized I had missed a lot of wonderful music. What a great man.
Johns got my vote for the hall of fame you better believe that.
Summers end
