Lyrics:
Well, feelings are strange
Especially when they come true
I had a feeling that you'd be leaving soon
So I tried to rearrange all my emotions
But it seems the same, no matter what I do
And blue umbrella, rest upon my shoulder
And hide the pain
While the rain makes up my mind
Well, my feet are wet
From thinking this thing over
And it's been so long
Since I felt the warm sunshine
Just give me one good reason
And I promise I won't ask you any more
Just give me one extra season
So I can figure out the other four
Well daytime makes me wonder why you left me
And nighttime makes me wonder what I said
Next time are the words I'd like to plan on
But last time was the only thing you said
And blue umbrella, rest upon my shoulder
And hide the pain
While the rain makes up my mind
Well, my feet are wet
From thinking this thing over
And it's been so long
Since I felt the warm sunshine
Just give me one good reason
And I promise I won't ask you any more
Just give me one extra season
So I can figure out the other four
Singer. Songwriter. Poet. Icon.
John Prine was an artist’s artist with a list of admirers and collaborators that cut across musical genres and generations - names like Kris Kristofferson, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Bonnie Raitt, Johnny Cash, Tom Petty, Brandi Carlile, George Strait, Kurt Vile, Miranda Lambert, The Everly Brothers, Emmylou Harris, among others.
Though he was born in Maywood, Illinois, in 1946, John declared himself “pure Kentuckian” throughout his life. His parents, Willian and Verna, were natives of Paradise, Kentucky. The family would spend summers there in Muhlenberg County, where John listened to bluegrass music and studied the guitar styles of country music heroes Doc Watson and Merle Travis with his older brother, Dave.
In Maywood, he worked as a postman before being drafted into the army in 1966. It was as a postman that John began to write the songs that would connect with so many. He sang at Chicago folk clubs, where he was introduced to singer-songwriter Kris Kristopherson, who invited John to open for him in New York. It was there that Jerry Wexler, president of Atlantic Records, first heard Prine and offered him a recording contract. His self-titled debut album was released in 1971 and featured a list of songs now regarded as classics, including “Paradise,” “Angel From Montgomery,” “Illegal Smile,” Hello in There,” and “Sam Stone.” Prine received the first of his 13 Grammy nominations in 1972 for Best New Artist. He would record three more albums for Atlantic and another three with Asylum.
His profound impact on American music was amplified in 1981 when John co-founded Oh Boy Records, and independent label where he released most of his subsequent work and which gave voice and respect to so many fellow singers and songwriters.
In his distinguished career, John won four Grammys and the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award (2020). He was a three-time recipient of the Artist of the Year Award at the Americana Music Honors & Awards, which also honored him with the Lifetime Achievement Award for Songwriting. He won the Pen/New England Song Lyrics of Literary Excellence Award (2016) and was enshrined in the Songwriters Hall of Fame (2019). In addition, John was named Honorary Poet Laureate of Illinois (2020).
John Prine passed away on April 7, 2020 due to complications from Covid-19. The outpouring of grief and love from his fan community was staggering. Over 500,000 viewers participated in an online memorial and tribute that raised more than half a million dollars for Covid-related community causes. In 2021, the Prine family created the Hello In There Foundation to honor John’s spirit of generosity towards those in need. Fiona Prine and her sons continue to operate and expand the reach of John’s independent record label, Oh Boy Records.

One of my all time favorites. Original, clever, melancholy and beautiful. All in one song.
One of many favourites
@@mikemcnamara6119 agree. JP wrote so many good songs. Unlike many songwriters, he did not have one period of life in which he was inspired. He never let success ruin his motivation and inspiration.
Probably one of the prettiest songs ever written.
Nothing "probably" about it my friend. I can't think of Any songs prettier than this one. Thank you JP, and rest peacefully Sir
Notably one of the first songs sung to me by an old friend, lots of wonderful memories tied to this song, sung by my forever all time favorite artist John Prine
50 years melt away and I m a young woman listening with my friends, quiet and thoughtful.....
This guy was sh1t hot and one of the best god blessed us all
I guess there must be other songs out there that are prettier than this one, but in my 67 1/2 years I haven't heard one.
Exactly, same here, I m 68, this brings it all back, with tears- not sad, just, I don't really know....
