You can tell Uncle Seymore loved Townes.

I love Townes Van Zandt, but I wish he had more respect here - Sitting laughing as a wiser man speaks.

❤

This wasn't in the film, sadly.

Never seen anything as genuine in my life, you don’t play music you live music and feel music in your deepest being.

My life changed forever the first time I heard Townes. I instantly recognized my pain and I saw it was comfortable living where it does. It wanted to live in my soul, that's why it had always been there. It is who I am and what pulled me forth from my primordial stew into this shell I currently inhabit. This shell is hard as steel but brittle and jagged. It shows it's age these days. It can still barrel down my mountain of self destruction at breakneck speed although it leaves more and more behind as it goes. Those pieces left behind are seeds we sow on this solo journey. Most will dry up and turn to dust long before we do. But what is maybe our last great uninalienable hope is that a precious few do find fertile ground. That we were lucky enough to have those pieces broken from us at just the right moments. That split second when an open, willing vessel will take up our shards and propagate and nurture those fragments. Those irreplaceable parts of ourselves, both the best and worst of us, that they would grow and change the world they would find themselves within. The world that had long forgotten us, but those few, they carry the light. The good. The just. The passion. That's what we hope for, deep down in our broken shattered shell. We will strain our eyes looking backwards for those pieces, when they are already thriving but in front of us, not behind. Cast your eyes in that direction. It's the only destination we will ever gaze upon. Go into your journey without fear. Embrace those wounds that leave those shattered pieces. Rest well and know the changes you have affected.

Cheers from Germany.

William, do you know Blaze Foley Cody Hubach, Juble Clark and John casner?

This president stuff insane does people not see what's happening? American citizens that has roots that run deep are dying. Loosing the will to live. Being replaced by other country's people. Why can't they give Americans the rights there getting. We can't make it man! And trust n believe we're on brink of war!

I truly hope everyone understands what Townes was trying to explain in this song and what he said throughout his life and his songs… A lot of people stumbling across these videos will think well that’s a fun song about booze and being a vagabond … These were songs about his life that was cut way too short and that is the biggest tragedy in music I’ve ever known

Again, I thought it was Michael Nesmith in the thumbnail!

What a lovely old guy, and what wonderful music too.

Love this video am always coming back to rewatch it❤❤

Fuck me runing

Music starts 4:57 🎵🎶🤠👍

🤠👍 He's seen a lot. We don't have many men like this anymore!

Clarksville, where they lived, still had dirt roads back then. Before MoPac. Before gentrification. Back then, there was space here to be an artist or to be a friend to artists such as Uncle Seymour was. He said something one night which I've never forgotten. TVZ was starting to become well known ~ he'd made a bunch of records with Cowboy Clement up in Nashville, and being on vinyl was a Big Deal back then ~ at a big-enough Austin club. He was himself on stage, then came offstage looking like he'd rather be anywhere else than there. Between sets the band room was packed. Journalists & coke dealers, glitterati & wannabes, all sorts of self-important people, buzzing with the ethos of the times. I sat like an invisible observer in the corner at a small table with Uncle Seymour. Brief lull in the hive-like buzz of a hundred hipper-than-thou conversations. Seymour looked up from his drink and ~ normal voice, not snide or mean or loud ~ he said, "Huh. Smart as we are, who are *we*?" You could've heard a pin drop. I've always said that was the most brilliant thing I ever heard. ~ L. Gracey

How deep does a soul travel

Goddammit. Fucking beautiful. I’m staying out here to kick some ass. Godammit.

When the film was shot, someone said: it's a waste of time and money to film us. The soundtrack was released some 40 years later.

I'm so happy we have this footage

I just found this amazing artist , after watching true detective . During his time I was a heavy metal kid from Finland . His music lives forever and will alway find new fans , I am a living proof .

"Quick him and he'll go in to lockjaw" so true. Look at vets suffering from shell shock

I've never seen the full version of this, living in pain, I'm used to pain killers, something in this touches my soul, but the old guys story, man, I shouldn't complain

This a very amazing and powerful music film. It demonstrate the power of Music's words on the human race and the love and compassion we should carry for each person regardless of our cultural identity. This is beautiful from start to finish with a terrific message for everyone. What a great song. Thank you !❤

Just randomly stumbled across this video on a Townes rabbit hole on the 12th of July. Uncle Seymour’s birthday

I remember when folks could talk without taking offense, nowadays in 2023 you best to just say nothing, these children nowadays git their feelings hurt way to easy. Such a sad turn of events. What a awesome song!

What that old blacksmith said was the absolute wisest thing that has ever been on social media

AMEN

I just realized that you can hear Suzanne softly singing in part of the background

The most beautiful video. I cry with him every time

Why aren't you making music anymore man? Its good!

God bless uncle Seymour.

The organic nature of this video is so amazing. Uncle seymour crying, townes cryptic lyrics, the old run down house, and the dogs barking in the background.

Uncle Seymore was a wise man. God put him there for a reason.

💐

Seymour knows what’s up.

Mr. Seymour has battle scares of life and only those who have the same would recognize....

You can NOT beat a SWEET ASS bit of ol' negro wisdom

This world that existed here is so sorely needed today, and so far from reality.

Hell Yeah !!!

Every time watching this. I cry at the same time.

Uncle Seymour, my Hero...

never thought a show like euphoria would introduce me to Townes van zandt

Score Seymour 79, Townes... didn't even come close

If that aint feelings..fuck you

Real people

Amazing. I'd like to think Townes intentionally sang this to Unc right after messing around as Unc gave him the advice to show that he still did take in the message, and knew it was of no use. And both of them knew that Townes wasn't gonna change.
