John was an original, the moment you hear the guitar rhythm start to play your brain immediately tells you it's a John Prine song, he is sadly missed - but he left a great legacy of his songs behind for all of his fans to cherish and enjoy forever.

My father died last Friday in his living room while I spoke to him. As I was walking through his home after, opening all the doors and welcoming him to leave this plane, this tune started playing on my phone. The first two words John Prine utters - Thank You - hit me hard, as I had for the last month cared for him as we fought the cancer that ravaged his body. Thank you John and Josh for giving my father the means to express himself to me after he had passed through this life with unimpeachable grace and humility. Namaste.
Guy that is beautiful and deeply touching the way music, especially this music as John and your father have passed. John Prine’s music has been a comfort to me as my singing partner just passed. Life is as precious as dying and being born and music helps hold me in grieving. Love is everywhere.
Guy, you are tuned into the Humanity channel we are all on. I also recently lost my dad, and I send you peace. John sings these beautiful gifts, and am grateful we get the opportunity to reach across the great beyond to our ancestors through them. May you continue to find peace. Namaste.
Thank you, Guy. My father is currently in a bad place w/ Covid, & this song (this particular version) popped into my mind. It was good to find your post & to feel a little less alone w/ it. God bless John Prine.
I saw him not six months ago. I wore my best corduroy jacket and sat down in my pew. I paid $100 for a ticket on the first row. Right up front with the yuppies. I remember looking back on the congregation fondly; and John being especially exuberant on this night. Bunch of lucky suckers! What a joy he Is. Thank you John, thank you very very much. For being so heart achingly honest, and working so diligently to keep warm. A real deal American hero!

My sister (and my best friend) died a week ago, a young 58...cancer also. She was a huge John Prine fan and learned to play and sing many of his songs. I had not been able to listen to him until today......
When I get to Heaven, I can't wait to meet John Prine. I've listened to him for so many years now that he feels like family, but then he seems to have affected many that way with his honest lyrics and love of mankind. His lyrics are haunting. I was praying for him since I heard he had the virus. I would wake up hearing his music. On April 7th, when he passed, I woke up hearing, "I'm gonna kiss that pretty girl, on the tilt a whirl". It was like God was preparing me for the bad news. My heart is still broken and this world really doesn't seem the same. John was one of a kind and nobody will ever fill his shoes. He made the world better just being here. So sad he has left us, but I'm looking forward to the heavenly celebration someday. We all miss you John!
John was far more loving than most of my family. He is my little brother who I never had. He is the voice of the unsung who have also been my family. RIP dear one!
A man call John prine walked among us and shined a light in the truly good places in all our souls Now we must shine that light for others @@kathleenwildey9084
Yup, I know exactly how you feel. Even though I never met him, I felt I knew him as much as he seemed to know me and everyone who ever listened to his songs and thought "that's my story". Miss him so much still. And yes the world just isn't the same without his big heart in it.

This performance is the finest example of how like good wine things get better with age. I always like this song for its content and message, but this performance of it is what I want to remember Mr. Prine on stage at his finest. how can you top " the cuckoo clock died of shock, the window feels no pain, and the air is as still a the throttle of a funeral train" I hope others will feel the peace that this rendition of this song gives me as I watch this video and strum my guitar with him and Mr Ritter. Drink deeply from this cup their is so much to contemplate.

My dad died last night ,today I looked this song up to sooth my heart , one of few prime songs I don't play , I wanted to learn it when my mother died but couldn't bring myself to sing the lyrics , now I have no choice .
I got to see him once few years ago. He was magic. I love his music. Mexican Home,Donald and Lydia, The Great Compromise just fantastic lyrics and stories. Goodbye John

Total loss of words when he passed to the otherside. Yet heard him singing and laughing with the words that mean so much. Was a true honor to see him through the years until the ladt i saw redrocks what a beautiful performance with the Colorado symphony orchestra. Without a doubt the best performance I ever saw by him. Danced like he was young agian and truly happy with his time here will be missed and always heard.

I original started this comment when reading the words of a person who lost their father and found comfort in this music. AS I wrote it I started thinking of all the times I've read people baring their souls to us strangers because of the music and yes the times I've felt safe enough to bare my own soul. The stories we are told on of all places You Tube. For some reasons these glances of life and of death that are shared are surprisingly treated with the utmost respect they deserve by we the listeners. Is it because of the certain type of music listened to by we the listener, even though that music tends to cross most genres or have we've, I, been lucky enough to fall among a group of like minded souls who would rather offer comfort and in return find comfort than to ridicule. A heartfelt thankyou to all of you, I think you know who you are, you are surely special.

SEÑOR J. PRINE ; me encanta la poesía de sus canciones, letras hablan de cosas tan usuales y actuales, por ser mexicano y Ud., contarnos de "Mexican Home" traduje el coro, así literalmente, faltaría la "rima" y dice :::Mama dear ///// Mamá Querida Your boy is here ///// aqui esta tu hijo ///// lejano atravez del mar ///// Esperando //// ese sagrado corazón //// que arde dentro de mi,
//// y siento como una tormenta ///// tan húmeda y tibia //// desde tan lejos //// cuando me voy acercando //// a tan mexicano hogar.. Ahora que le conosco Mr Prine, seguire escuchando tan Agradable interpretaciones, llenas de sentimientos profundos nostálgicos y algunos comicos como "Lonsome friends of Science" y si en estos videos agregan la letra, pues podre entender mejor lo que nos cuenta en sus canciones,, FELICIDADES, un Saludo respetuoso, desde Cd. Ju´´arez Chihuahua... un 21 Mayo 2019.
I have followed John since I saw him on the OLD GREY WHISTLE TEST on British TV in the very early 1970s. Will love all his work always. My wife bought a surprise tickets for us, we saw him as well as I can remember in a theatre on the Southank on the river Thames. Perhaps if anyone was at the same performance, where exactly was it?. I also would like to offer my sincere condolences to Fiona and their sons.
My generation. I helped a vet who had his psd that made his wife’s life hell. I took him to VA for help when I should’ve been sleeping. I did it to give
Does anyone know if Josh and John had a falling out of some sort? I saw both in concert and both stage presences were unmatched... I'd hate to know Josh had an unresolved issue with John.

Prine is to music as Vonnegut is to literature. They're the only two that can make me laugh and cry uncontrollably during the same story.
OldGoldBlue beautifully stated and a perfect comparison.
You're right! Very apt comparison.
OldGoldBlue nailed it
Like Mark Twain too. Everything's a joke, but the jokes are really serious.
Last night when I heard that he died, I thought of Vonnegut and him as I drifted off to sleep.
You made me think when I needed to think, and feel when I needed to feel. Your music and heart meant so much to me, John.
Amen
Prines talent brought so much joy to humanity and countless hours of well spent listening
Amen
I understand.

Try Jason Isbell. Another great American songwriter. Who might be as good as Prine was, one day.
Just another beautiful John Prine song!! There are so many!! One of my all time favorites!!!

Incredible as ever from John
John if only you could have stayed with us just a bit longer!
Thank you John. THEY'LL NEVER BE ANOTHER LIKE YOU.
Oh Wow ! John just "knocks em out of the Park" each time.
John never sang a bad song, he played with heart 👍
I have followed John since I saw him on the OLD GREY WHISTLE TEST on British TV in the very early 1970s. Will love all his work always. My wife bought a surprise tickets for us, we saw him as well as I can remember in a theatre on the Southank on the river Thames. Perhaps if anyone was at the same performance, where exactly was it?.

I’m absolutely gutted.
Rest in peace
Saw John do this number in 1978 in a Seattle concert. I sipped bourbon and cried.
guruofsnot me too.
yeah gutted..
@@akjag17 I was there too. Also feeling gutted. Thank you John Prine.
Mama dear your boy is here ❤
So sad he passed. I miss him yet never met him, but feel like I always knew him.
Incredible!
Wow!!!
Miss you! I only ask that The Tree of Forgiveness is real, and my Dad is fry cook. Lord, here my prayer.
Sure miss you John.
Greatness
Beautiful.

I'm a man, and I don't care, no one has ever made me cry like jp
Well said.
Only two musicians that is everyone's friend, John Cash and John Prine.
I'm an atheist and the only fitting description I can think of for JP and his music is "God's light". Gets a man thinking.
Praying for you John. Fuck, I’m so sad.
~ Oh, Lawdy.
Does anyone know if Josh and John had a falling out of some sort? I saw both in concert and both stage presences were unmatched... I'd hate to know Josh had an unresolved issue with John.
Nope friends till the end. John never disliked anyone.
Yeah John was a good egg as they say, Jim. I wondered if he and Josh kept up contact. Two fantastic storytellers they are as artists.
You left a big hole when you went away, John.
