Great song has a lot of meaning to me. My wife passed away 2 years ago on March 16th 2011. She left me a video she recorded less then 3 months before she died saying she was sorry she couldnt be here with me longer basically what this song says.. her last words in video were im sorry i love you but goodbye! song hits home hard!! great artist!!
Been listening to this song since it came out, getting it in while I can, because I know sometime in the future, I'll never be able to listen to it again...
I still shout my dead friend's name as I drive down the highway alone, REALLY REALLY loud. this makes me think of him and now I have some driving to do (beautiful song)
I dedicate this to the memory of my mother who past January 30th, 2014. I love you and miss you. "No words of wisdom could make me feel better. Lately I'm having hard days and I curse the night. Maybe I'll fly far away and try to forget her. Maybe I'll stay right here where I am and get on with my life. She said," I love you but goodbye."
Around 2005 my roommate went to a music festival in Tennessee. She brought me back a Langhorne Slim CD. He quickly became my favorite artist of that decade. And to this day I still actively search for any new material by him I can find.
saw him live last night in Charleston, SC...these perfect videos don't do his live shows any justice...he is unbelievable!!!!!!!!! very cool and nice guy! and he drinks jamison for the record
I can't stop listening to this guys songs. He's amazing. It all started with that travelers insurance commercial. I loved the song and right away went to find who the author was.
My Uncle and a very cool friend (may he rest in peace) of his introduced me to Langhorne Slim & the Law. Thank you Justin and George!!! what an amazing gift!!!!!!!!
There are no words that describe how much this song hits me.... my heart aches. Life just is..... -my life goes but my heart stays with every person I meet.... nothing describes how I feel in this world besides this song. I can’t feel any different than how this song feels, its just my interpretation but... its more than I could ever want.
Bro, excellent song and vid. I really dig your style. Thanks so much. Made me cry when I heard it on the radio here in Eugene, Oregon the other day....damn.
missed seeing The Lumineers in Bristol in Feb 2013 as they had to cancel due illness in the band....tonight I discovered Langhorne Slim......flipping awesome!!!! Would have loved to see them that night in Bristol, salt on the wound.
.. If a painter painted a canvas red, and a group of people looked at it , you are right , they would not call it green . However, some people would think about blood , some would think about love , some would think about anger , some would think it was a waste of a good canvas , and have no ideas . The painter was thinking about his favorite red tie . People are not changing this song physically , it has merely triggered something about the listeners own life , which is the point of creativity
part of my therapy required writing a letter to my daughter who passed in 2020. right after the "assignment" was given this song played for the first time. i wrote these words down as the start of my letter.
Who would've thought a little boring town like Langhorne, PA would produce this brilliance?! He's one of the most honest song-writers we've got today and he's still relatively under the radar. Cherish his music, folks.
She said I love you but good bye. I love you but good bye. A bird with clipped wings can still sing but can no longer fly. What am I here for? Who makes the decision? For every beginning there must come an end. I want to thank you darling, for all that youve given. I want to thank you, thank you, for being my friend
happened to me 3 weeks ago. but life goes on. Music helps a lot, there are more people in the same situation, or that has experienced the same thing, that just shows that this is not the end of the world. even though it feels like it in the start.
This song hits me so fucking hard. I just lost the love of my life 2 months ago and this song says everything I can't find the words to say. RIP George!
I have zero clue how this channel got recommended to me other than I play acoustic guitar and I haven’t really been playing like I used to. I lost that love. That spark. I just looked at your channel real fast and I subbed and am buying new strings ;)
@MarbieCruz that's nice of you marbie.you made my day.! happy easter from ny! i'm giving up my dream of being a recording,i'm trying building choppers and fixing classic cars..it's been a rough road. i listened to more slim. i see why he's popular.he's good! take care, Tom
I found out about him on a TV commercial and when i heard his song "Worries" I instantly ran to the computer to find out who sang it and d/l that song and a couple more on itunes.
Jamesmj, I don't have it tabbed, but here's the gist: put a capo on the first fret (his guitar is tuned down 1/2 a step) and start with a G chord. The next is a C chord. That's most of it. The notes btw them are E D B on the B string. The bluesy notes leading into part 2 are Bb Bb A on the A string. At "bird w/ clipped" play mostly the bass notes of the chords G B7 C F. :)
this song is fantastic. wish this is how our artists delivered us songs on cd...aka just how it would sound if they just sang it rather than someone helping them produce it. RAW

My sweetheart passed last year. This song and so many others, take on a whole new gravitas in the wake of living on.
"A bird with clipped wings can still sing but can no longer fly"....love love love this.
Bob Dylan said it first but it still has the same meaning
I've lost my daughter almost three years ago. I still mis her every day 😢 heartbreaking song. Goodbye my love.
Been listening to this song since it came out, getting it in while I can, because I know sometime in the future, I'll never be able to listen to it again...
I still shout my dead friend's name as I drive down the highway alone, REALLY REALLY loud. this makes me think of him and now I have some driving to do (beautiful song)
this a very deep well written song. I would love to see him and the avett brothers in concert together

She said," I love you but goodbye."
She said I love you but goodbye
I love you but goodbye
A bird with clipped wings can still sing
But can no longer fly
I appreciate that
My friend sang this at a funeral, then my mom died (Aug 26, 2014). Thank you SheIsBlackPanther, you're right. And Mr. Slim is right.
why did you do that to me
Around 2005 my roommate went to a music festival in Tennessee. She brought me back a Langhorne Slim CD. He quickly became my favorite artist of that decade. And to this day I still actively search for any new material by him I can find.
I hope I can remind you after 7 years
Ty Slim this song is getting me through my moms passing. I play it everyday...
I have lost the love of my life and this song has hit my heart the most!
Me Just me Me too!, Hope it gets better!?
man, it's been almost 10 years since i first heard this song. time really flys.
16 now. Get it together
I think this is the most simple yet most beautiful expression of loss I have heard.
I agree
God your voice and the way you play guitar is absolutely beautiful
why did you come if you can't stay forever?
who was i before you? i can't remember.
amazing song and i adore it.
I love when i find a new artist and immediately get hooked.
saw him live last night in Charleston, SC...these perfect videos don't do his live shows any justice...he is unbelievable!!!!!!!!! very cool and nice guy! and he drinks jamison for the record
Why can't you be the one?
Why did you come if you can't stay forever?
Love this SONG!
Amazing writing and incredible voice indeed. The heart will always hear matters of the heart..
One of our rare modern songwriters worth every note he plays. Thanks for posting and here's to all of us that know something worth listening to.
Slim's voice is so good. There are no imperfections but still so much character.
One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.
"I love you, but goodbye"...breaking my heart
Amazing. Love all the solo acoustic raw Slim stuff.
This gave me chills. Made me think of loved ones who are no longer here.
Still listen to this song constantly.
I can't stop listening to this guys songs. He's amazing.

still listening to langhorne- his shows are second-to-none- just a good dude
BEST show ever! Spectacular musicians, such good quality...There was so much energy and I felt all these emotions!
Thank you for being my friend . .......Beautiful sound
Without words!! Only aww!!
Thank you Langhorne. Beautiful Song.
Just heard of langhorne slim for the first time tonight. This song made me listen to his album, "Be Set Free" in one sitting.
It seems I've stumbled on to the magical part of RUclips :')
Bro, excellent song and vid. I really dig your style. Thanks so much. Made me cry when I heard it on the radio here in Eugene, Oregon the other day....damn.
missed seeing The Lumineers in Bristol in Feb 2013 as they had to cancel due illness in the band....tonight I discovered Langhorne Slim......flipping awesome!!!! Would have loved to see them that night in Bristol, salt on the wound.
Just discovered this guy through the Avett Brothers and I love him already. Can't wait to hear more :)
Wonderful Beautiful Words and Music

I near tripped over my own feet when my ear caught Slims voice coming out of the TV and not from my ipod. Love his songs.
just started listening to him. he has so much talent keep the songs coming. maybe I can see you in concert one day
How AMAZING is this guy? He is quality! I found a few of his albums -HAD TO HAVE THEM ALL! Hee hee! Also LOVING his hat!!! :D
What better thing can be said of a song than "it speaks to the heart of the people".
i love these backstage videos of langhorne, where you can hear how awesome his voice really is.
2019 and amazing, truly.
Here is another like for 2023!
I prefer this version to the album version, raw, less frilly :)

So amazing. My soul has been touched by a man.

I'm loving your music after discovering you on a tv ad for dog food in UK!
