Blaze Foley sang this song at my dad's memorial in 1984 . He loved and thought that my dad walked on water. He barely made it through the song. Rest in peace Blaze. And rest in peace to my father Clyde Buchanan. Writer of Austin Pickers.
There have been a lot of great singers in country music, but Merle was blessed with all the qualities you mentioned. He was a poet and touched people's hearts. He still does.
knowing this was written by a troubled, sometimes homeless guy...seems to tear me up, putting myself in his, and all us other troubled souls shoes...if i could only fly...i sure wish we could all fly, to be near our loved ones, when we are lonely,and need to be near them...then for some strange reason, it makes me think of my loved ones who have passed away...if i could only fly to heaven to see them.
I dedicate this to my Son Izaiah William Clyde Baxter whom perished tragically in a house fire August 11th 2023 Rest in Eternal Peace and Godspeed my sweet youngest prince.
My wife died today. This song is the perfect expression of how I feel right now. It's so perfect I even have mobility issues and can't stand for very long ("I can hardly stand"). I MISS YOU PAULA!!! IF I COULD ONLY FLY!!!
My husband passed away 2 weeks ago. We went to several Merle concerts. I heart aches. We sent balloons up in the air after the funeral. I asked the kids to put on Merle’s silver wings. I wish I had asked for this one. Sorry for your loss.
I'm so sorry, Jerry. I hope that you find a way to lessen your pain . Your Paula is still with you. My partner died on May 30th. He introduced me to Merle and I can't stop listening. May your beloved rest in peace.
In all my years I've never heard this BEAUTIFUL SOULFUL HEARTFELT song and I've listened to country music my whole 50 plus years on this earth. It almost brings me to tears speaking directly to my heart!!! Blessings to ALL!! 😍🥰🙏💯🤍💜🤎🖤❤️🧡💛💙🥺😢🤗
Thanks Blaze Foley for this beautifully written song. Merle Haggard was a word finder for songs, hence picking up this gem and singing it like it was his own. Miss you Merl. Rest in Peace both you and Blaze. 🙏💛
Written by Blaze Foley....one of my favorites. Saw him live in 1984 at the Outhouse in Austin. He crawled from under the pool table and got on stage to perform. Blew me away that night. I was recently divorced and missing my 4 year old daughter. Blaze's song is fantastic!
I never get tired of hearing this song or Merle singing it. I think of my daddy who took his life over 20 years ago. If I just fly to be with him for a time.
My condolences to you my dad passed away he was a youngman at 54 but thanks to him im listening to merl kind regard.from ireland 🇮🇪this was one of his favourites
Here is A Great Country Music Artist big time Who Knew How to make A greta Song like This Sound Even better when Merle Haggard sing's it , A great Singer indeed.
Merle the Pearl.!.( ... most of the best often didn't prefer fame; fortune or notoriety, anonymous was often the answer. Best/ Least/ it gets nuts, I went to prison deliberately, as I had opportunity to do 2nd half of his concert/ -prov VA Memorial Hall/ James Burton. , well it's better to go all out ... the guitar sessions... Roy Nichols struggled to play this * technique! James B., was Merles favorite- acompaniment. Thinking.?.
This is One Great Singer big time, no matter how many time's we listen to these great Singer's each time the Music just keep's getting better to listen too, doesn't it, God Bless you Merle Haggard and Family and Friend's Too Always.
I was driving in my truck listening to Sirius XM Prime country the day Merle died on his birthday I pulled over and shed some tears.... never get tired of listening to The Hag...God bless..
I was at work and looked at my computer to see what was on the internet on Merle’s birthday. Not much. 10 minutes later my daughter called me and said Merle had passed. I couldn’t believe it. Hard day. Never be another.
I was driving my truck in Stallion Springs near Tehachapi California to a delivery and heard on the radio Merle had died and the lady I was delivering to came out to meet me and told me about Merle dying and we both cried together for a few minutes and when I left I listened to that radio station playing Merle all day I listened to Merle with my dad when we bought his first album and many many more
I love the emotion Merle has in his voice when he sings this heartfelt ballad. I wish he'd mentioned Blaze Foley and given credit to the man who wrote the song. None the less,, Merle nails it and his rendition is so moving
l agree with you, indeed Merle Haggard is a great and talented artist who's songs never goes out of style,he's one of my favorites artist, he songs still and always heals the Soul, I pray God gives you lot of beautiful days!!!
it was like 88 when i think i played this song at least 30 times straight on cd when i first got it. on my expensive alpine system in my big work van it sounded like best music i had ever heard.
It’s really brought into focus by juxtaposing them and their talents with the current crop of country music “stars.” Well, at least from what I know. Things got so bad that for the past few years all my music comes from RUclips channels, mostly people in living rooms, bedrooms, and on porches. Even dropped my Serius/XM subscription.
Love the violin , and the sound of it, love the way that Merle Haggard sings too. Just think he sang this song in 1986and here I am listening to him today.
He was blessed with such great talent, Merle's beautiful songs and memories will live on forever 😭. I'm listening to him almost all day here @Jeanette McMaster. Hope you doing good?
l agree with you, indeed Merle Haggard is a great and talented artist who's songs never goes out of style,he's one of my favorites artist, he songs still and always heals the Soul, I pray God gives you lot of beautiful days!!!
If it wasn't for youtube and a very slim few oldies stations around the country......this music would be gone.......share these songs and keep them alive.....young people can't enjoy what they don't know exists
What a beautiful song. Sure do miss you Merle. Glad your music is still here to enjoy, I never get tired of his voice. So much emotion and depth of soul. I love the way he interprets every song he sings he left so many gifts for us to hold on to.
I could just sit 'n listen to this Man sing till the night light turns to day 'n again over 'n over. All I is songs just makes me feel good and worthy to repeat. Miss ya' old mate ya' music just keeps me movin' on.
You made a name for yourself in not only the world of country music but in life in general. And, man, you did yourself proud! Look at all of the fans who loved you and your style of country music. Play your songs in Heaven loud and proud! We will keep listening here on earth to the music you left for all of us. amen.
Dear everyone- Merle didn’t give a direct shout out to Blaze, but by making a perfect version of this song, he made some folks like me look it up. Now I , Sinatra fan, am also a fan of Merle and Blaze. When you have talent like these three gentlemen, a brick wall can’t keep you from busting trough.
You make a great musical point !!!! Great music does not stay locked up in a certain genre. Sinatra __ Whilly __ Haggard ___ great ballad singers __ great music___ label it any way you want
There is not a single day goes by that I don't think of this song. I played this at my wifes funeral and there was not a dry eye in the place. And yes to truly appreciate this song, you have to hear Blaze Foleys version.
I started to love 💘country music at age 18 & never looked back. I love all kind of music 🎶 but this is my favorite kind. Country music speaks to me & we actually can understand every word of it. God bless country music writers & singers.
What a great time for music there are no computers and all these musicians were playing live in front of an audience on TV how amazing is that? Not only that but the lead guitar player is absolutely amazing I certainly would like to know who he is. I absolutely love this song too. Cheers to everyone who loves good music that is made by real musicians
There will never be another country singer like Merle, never. Knew the writer, Blaze Foley, quite well in my music days back in Austin. A talented writer but a true lost soul in other ways. RiP Merle and Blaze.
l agree with you, indeed Merle Haggard is a great and talented artist who's songs never goes out of style,he's one of my favorites artist, he songs still and always heals the Soul, I pray God gives you lot of beautiful days!!!
THIS SONG BRINGS TEARS TO MY EYES, AND A SMILE WITHINE MY HEART. I THINK OF MY ONLY CHILD WHO WENT HOME ,AT 23YRS,MY MOM,N MY UNCLE JACK GRAY,I MISS HIM SINGING TO ME SINCE A CHILD.I WISH I COULD FLY ID WRAP MY ARMS "OH SO TIGHT"" AROUND THEM .N NEVER LET GO..! Thanks so much for the memory..I really needed to b humble today n grateful.

I think this is the saddest song I've ever heard. I heard it after my precious daughter/best friend died and i play it most every day and cry, as all the feelings were taken away from me when she left except the part that never stops hurting.
Someone that I respect and think the world of and there is no words in this world could ever describe how wonderful and how much I care about this person they dedicated this song to me and only if I could fly I know where I would be .
One and only....I play his videos almost every day ...in place of taking pills I just pick up my iPad and watch and listen to the greatest voice of all times !!!
Merle Haggard is the best medicine you can take I also listen to him every day and night love me some Merle Haggard thanks Merle for your good memories
Blaze Foley sang this song at my dad's memorial in 1984 . He loved and thought that my dad walked on water. He barely made it through the song. Rest in peace Blaze. And rest in peace to my father Clyde Buchanan. Writer of Austin Pickers.

@@dunexapa1016😅
Lord give us true heartfelt country music back, so sad we've lost them all.
It hasn’t gone away it just has chosen to hide because of arrogance towards the simple.

Wynn Stewart taught Merel a lot about music. Merel still followed his Bakersfield roots. He didn't like Nashville that much.
