I watched this masterpiece today on the big screen after a hiatus of 40 years. It still had the same emotional impact on me as it did in 1984 and Ry Cooder's music score is still sublime 💕

These backvocals in last refrain..😁😁😁👍🤟

This song was a joke mike truly hated it 😂

“Canción Mixteca” (1912) Written over a century ago, this melancholy folk song expresses the homesickness of a migrant, and his longing for his home region. It was written by an Oaxacan composer who had moved to Mexico City. "Canción Mixteca" is a Mexican folk song written by Oaxacan composer José López Alavez (1889-1974). Lopez Alavez wrote the melody of the song in 1912, and composed the lyrics in 1915. Over the years, “Canción Mixteca” became an anthem of sorts for Mexican expats. Since 1984, it has received even wider exposure from its use in the soundtrack to the film “Paris, Texas” with the lyrics sung by the actor Harry Dean Stanton. Ry Cooder is a US musician who is known for his broad range of interests, primarily centered around “roots” music. He plays a variety of plucked-string instruments, and has performed with everyone from John Lee Hooker and The Rolling Stones to The Chieftains and Captain Beefheart. On Rolling Stone magazine’s 2003 list of “100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time,” Cooder ranked at Number 8. Canción Mixteca ¡Qué lejos estoy del suelo donde he nacido! inmensa nostalgia invade mi pensamiento; y al verme tan solo y triste cual hoja al viento, quisiera llorar, quisiera morir de sentimiento. ¡Oh Tierra del Sol! Suspiro por verte ahora que lejos yo vivo sin luz, sin amor; y al verme tan solo y triste cual hoja al viento, quisiera llorar, quisiera morir de sentimiento. (English translation of lyrics) How far I am from the land where I was born! Immense nostalgia invades my thoughts; And seeing myself so lonely and sad like a leaf in the wind, I want to cry, I want to die of sorrow. Oh Land of Sun! I yearn to see you! Now that I'm so far from you, I live without light and love; And seeing myself so lonely and sad like a leaf in the wind, I want to cry, I want to die of sorrow.

Mike had such a Spicoli face. Such an amazing band.

Why does this video last 10 hours

Who knew he had such a rich, buttery, soulful voice? 🤘🤘🤘🤘

This is so much more than a song, it's a story about the struggles for survive and keep your sanity. Great.

I can imagine just getting in the car and taking the scenic route for hours listening to this kind of music. Just thinking about life.

Had this playing in the car driving through some lonely county roads in East Texas.

Love when he said "I wanna be high!" and then he just stares above with his hand in the air, we know he was waiting for that guitar slide but it never came, so he stood their looking goofy hahaha it looked so cool at the same time tho

Gosh that's incredible, least to say!! Thanks

saw them i dont know how many times at lupos heartbreak hotel in providence.. we were counting the venues (20-25?).. RI CT MA NYC NJ.. these guys kicked ass years before it was fashionable.. i even forgave them for releasing an album from yankee stadium! these guys did it right!

The Mixtec song/ canción mixteca, from Oaxaca State, in southern Mexico. The lyrics of this song describe the feeling of nostalgia that Mexican people feel when being far from their homeland. The lyrics of this song are usually sung in Spanish or Mixtec language.

Ry Cooder and Wim Wenders reached all the way to the Mixtecan culture of southern Mexico to find a song of loss poignant and beautiful enough to capture the emotions of this epic story. Harry Dean Stanton, who sings Cancion Mixteca here, loved to sing Mexican music, and he loved Mexican culture -- so much so that he has rightly been called the Kentuckian with a Mexican soul. HDS is also the greatest American actor never to receive a Hollywood award. That is a loss too.

Hermoso

💔💔💔💔💔💔💔

I miss the 80's and early 90's really bad. 💔⭐️🏁 Thank you so much and God bless you a million times for posting this great and precious concert video. This FNM remake of this song never gets old and always takes my pain away.

I love Barbara Lynn!!!

The first and only film that made me cry convulsingly at the end, the first time I watched it years ago. A masterpiece in every sense.

Okay, he's the most naturally gifted vocalist of them all, tell me I'm wrong after that!

Masterful

Can’t believe he dropped his stick ! 😮

❤😢one of the love songs that still after all these years I still love it and still makes me cry 😢❤❤❤
