Oh my, I'm hearing this for the first time at 50, and I've never heard a song so relatable. I sure do love the man my father turned into, and I'm grateful that my son got to meet the man I wish I grew up with.
One of my favourite Loudon songs. A great song and a nice one to play on guitar, which is a bonus. I’ve been listening to him since the 60’s. ‘Each and every one a gem, each and every one a gem’.
Damn this is a great song. My dad walked out when I was a kid so I never understood the relationship between a father and a son. I feel that I understand a little better now.
It's the best kind of love song. Love for his son, love for Kate. Intimate, earthy and ultimately humane. I can see Kate McGarrigle's madonna smile, gathering her loved ones close. :)
This Brought a smile to my brain/ face at 12AM As i struggle to figure out how I will move and where I will put all my material possessions in my new tiny apt.in Browndeer WI. Life is a challenge but when we put into perspective, listen to others thoughts thru music conversation,
Genius, genius, genius. I've got the album with the original live version of Rufus is a tit man on it but this is wonderful. Thanks so much. I've been a fan for years. The best song I've ever heard about oral addiction...
I read the book about Rufus called There Will Be Rainbows and all the stuff I read about Loudon is so bizarre and a little heartbreaking. He's very talented, but such an oddball! That second song pretty much confirms it.
What a great quote. I think I'll hang onto that. I believe that's the magical formula that made The Simpsons so great, and a lot of what Judd Apatow does.
Listen to the lyrics and think for a second. Try to not make your puny little excuse for a brain go up in smoke pondering over them. If your profile pic is any indication, you will be lost and grasping at the air around you for an intelligent response!
I'M not sure to understand totally what your saying. But it sounds negative ! I adore that song personnaly. My first language is french and I have problem understanding insults. A poor little baby's expense??? What does it means? I guess

Me and my dad wasted years fighting now he isn’t here I miss him so so much
I feel yr pain, if only!!?
“I don’t want to die and you want to live” what a great line.

I got some news for you Mr Wainwright...
luv me some loudo. he's the best. he deserves something much more meaningful than a nobel prize.
I saw Lowdin in 75 at folk festivals . He was young...I was younger...he s a treasure. Unrequited love...hysterical 😂

How did i miss this great tune for so long
Smile, cry, giggle then laugh. The man's a magician...

Am so looking forward to seeing Loudon and his son Rufus in Eugene, Or, soon, Mar 31, 2016.
so schön ihn wieder entdeckt zu haben.Habe ihn oft gehört in Hit Radio Ö3 als ich 1972 Soldat war.
Rufus! Great performance, Loudy! thanks.

Ive been listening to him for nearly 50 years now. So honest but the humour makes it more palatable somehow.
Growing up with this guy for a dad must've been the most cringeworthy thing that you wouldn't trade for the world.
am so looking forward to seeing Loudon in hastings uk
in october
That song is in my top 100 best songs of all time!
The first one (father and son)
such a great song love u loudon
❤️ musical greatness right here
"I wrote this when he was about 3... he's been bitter ever since..."
The look on his face just before he performs Rufus is a Tit Man is classic. One of the funniest songs ever.
glad someones uploaded this again. damn SME!!
this man is a person
I love this, father and son together - must find more of this.
love, litan
Great stuff.
The Man's Crazy!! AND a Genius. Love it.
Just a beautiful song
Jesus, I thought I was brutal about myself. Loudon takes it to a higher level. I've loved his honesty since I first heard Unrequited at 17.
This man loves his children 😢😊
pure unadulterated GENIUS
I agree and so does Judd Apatow. He loves him so much he's used him and his music in many of his projects.
What loving father would name his son Rufus? Oh, right, someone named Loudon.
Absolutely great!
Genius, genius, genius. I've got the album with the original live version of Rufus is a tit man on it but this is wonderful. Thanks so much. I've been a fan for years. The best song I've ever heard about oral addiction...

brilliant!
MMMMMMMM such a good old one
Wow...he writes a good song! :-)
Mush of hees music is nothing but a proofe on hees cense of humor combined with grate musik. :-)
This sums up my relationship with my dad... and unfortunately, my mom fed me with formula.
It's family.
Dorkiness and love together are awesome.
What a great quote. I think I'll hang onto that. I believe that's the magical formula that made The Simpsons so great, and a lot of what Judd Apatow does.
😭
cmon mama and lactate a while
Nice
The Bigger the front the Bigger the back. Now where have ah heard that? Before.
Makes me think about my dad... I'm on my girlfriends RUclips,but if she heard this it remind her of her dad too, especially the tit man!
Why are not the two best songs by Loudon Wainright, "Sometimes I Forget" and "So many Songs", to find on RUclips?
I understand
always thought he was to whiny-- i still think so
I accidentally well actually I was continuing my thoughts
Somehow it all seems to make sense , not the kind you can buy things with 🤔
Well done on making the most obvious joke possible.
You're a Nam vet, right?
@Agaagaflabaya
Hah. How can it be HUGELY disturbing?
