My motheer said her father (MY GRANDFATHER) use to sing this when she was a child. My mom is now 93. Thank you so much, Arlo, for doing this.
What a joy and honor to work with Arlo on this adaptation of Foster's classic song. Hope it offers a small measure of solace in these challenging times.
It's terrific. Thanks to all of you for it.
Wonderful! Love the p'siano!
@@jeffbjorck : ) thanks Jeff!
Thank you
Beautiful collaboration.
Thank you Arlo. Your father and Pete are smiling.
Indeed!
In these days of such loss, there's a lump in my throat with this song, especially on the day we bury John Lewis. The song's a lament, but also a rallying cry. John left us both today too. "Though I am gone, I urge you to answer the highest calling of your heart and stand up for what you truly believe." ~~~John R. Lewis. Thank you Arlo.
The Jeaner 🙌
Beautiful comment.
Fifty-three years after he wrote about a restaurant with the mood of America on the menu, Arlo serves up another dish, this time of encouragement, giving us all hope in the long tunnel out of Covid. With grateful thanks from Liverpool, UK.
Written by Stephen Foster in 1854 or so.
Yes.
Tears watching this. So reassuring coming from Arlo who has sung about all those times. I will never forget Arlo dealing with the question of whether or not he wanted to be tested to know if he had the gene that could mean he could get Huntington’s, the disease that his father had. What a lesson in living in the present with gratitude. I feel so fortunate to have had Arlo’s songs as the backdrop for life. Just knowing others see things through the lens of the simple Golden Rule is a comfort and makes me feel not alone. Thanks Arlo, for being a follower of the heart.
I'm now 70 years old and so jaded that I seldom laugh or cry at things I see on the Internet. But, this had tears flowing freely. So much hate and injustice in the world that it is sometimes hard to see potential for change. I do hope these hard times might facilitate that change. Arlo has always been a hero to me!
An American classic performed by an American classic!
Right on!
Amen
What a perfect song and rendition for these Hard Times. 150 years old, and still timely.
I have to listen to this song every day. Arlo and all of those who did this video and song need to receive a Grammy! I have attended two of Arlo's concerts. I enjoy both his songs and his stories. I love him as a performer and artist. I respect and like him as a person. While so many celebrities are plastic, fake, and remote, Arlo is a real person who cares what happens to other people. Alice's restaurant is one of my happy places, even though I have never been there, My dream would be to visit the center there. Arlo thank you for sharing your songs, stories and history with us.
Mercy... So beautiful. "This too shall pass". Trying to stay hopeful and positive in these hard times. So many things need to change.
Thanks to all who played and sang.
Kind of reminds of that oft-repeated verse in the Bible '...and it came to pass.' It never says '... and it came to stay.'
@@SEGoddard Just Jesus stays
The elder statesman of folk and country.
There is an edge to the way Arlo is singing this that so reminds me of Pete a couple of decade ago.
What a beautiful song.......now, where's me guitar?
I had become very cynical and pessimistic over the past few years. Listening and watching this has made me feel like the Grinch when his heart grows three sizes. It has awakened a hope I thought was long dead. Thank you, Arlo & company !
Arlo, you are an American Treasure.
Thanks Brother. You are the epitome of Heartland music
I love this song!❤
We all go through Our "hard times" in every life.
Thank you Arlo🤗❤🙏
A beautiful masterpiece of history and hope. A true story of our country and it's ability to handle any challenge at any time! One can't help but be positive of the future. Thank you to all.
Thank The Lord our Legend is Back making music that moves the spirit of the people. Everytime I got to Bethel Woods I look at the field and say tell my kids the story of how he was the man to announce the N.Y.S thruway was closed. My children who are all under the age of 20 love this mans music. We really hope to meet and greet and get him to autograph my Alice's restaurant book I got many years ago. He can and will and has inspired generations. PEACE. ✌❤🕉
This song will linger in my ears forevermore. Thank you all for this moving and heartfelt song.
This is a Universal song for all people no matter what your ethnicity.
As always, Arlo tells the story perfectly. Love you Arlo.
Sharing his name, I thought I knew every Stephen Foster song, but you found one I had never heard, and now it's my favorite one
I used to play in on a harpsicord in high school in the 60's in Cincinnati.
sing it and feel. No one does it better than Arlo!
Gr8 works from The JimWilsonmusic. Listen in and enjoy!
Note to self. Do not listen to or watch this when you're at work with others around. You'll be fighting back tears the whole time
Thank you for sending out this beautiful message to warm our hearts. To remind us that we will get through these hard times as we have before ~ with beautiful music, loving voices, and peace in our hearts...
Beautiful, just beautiful. Stephen Foster probably got goosebumps. I sure did.
This is not your average happy song. It is a song for the times though. Hopefully, we'll get back to what we normally would be doing - Having a good time making the best of it. The friends who worked on this song are amazing! I thank them all from the bottom of my heart.
Just what I needed at this difficult time! *day after the debate* Thank you Arlo! You seem to always say and do something that helps many of us hang onto hope in hard times. Thank you also to all who were involved in this beautiful gift.
Wonderful opening with a photo of Woody Guthrie.Great song with many thanks.Hopeful.
Hard Times
Stephen Foster
Let us pause in life's pleasures and count its many tears
While we all sup sorrow with the poor
There's a song that will linger forever in our ears
Oh, hard times, come again no more
'Tis the song, the sigh of the weary
Hard times, hard times, come again no more
Many days you have lingered all around my cabin door
Oh, hard times, come again no more
While we seek mirth and beauty and music light and gay
There are frail forms fainting at the door
Though their voices are silent, their pleading looks will say
Oh, hard times, come again no more
'Tis the song, the sigh of the weary
Hard times, hard times, come again no more
Many days you have lingered all around my cabin door
Oh, hard times, come again no more
There's pale drooping maiden who toils her life away
With a worn out heart, whose better days are over
Though her voice it would be merry, 'tis sighing all the day
Oh, hard times, come again no more
'Tis the song, the sigh of the weary
Hard times, hard times, come again no more
Many days you have lingered all around my cabin door
Oh, hard times, come again no more
'Tis the song, the sigh of the weary
Hard times, hard times, come again no more
Many days you have lingered all around my cabin door
Oh, hard times, come again no more
Music speaks louder than words. What a beautiful masterpiece. Arlo has outdone himself. God Bless him.
An absolutely brilliant piece of work. Well done everyone with a special thanks to Vanessa, Jim and Arlo.
So Good.
I LOVE ARLO! Saw him twice. He SIGNED my albums!!! ❤
Still love Arlo! Good Job, friend I've never met, but is forever in my memories ever since I refused a pickle.
Like a prayer 🙏
Beautiful and meaningful. Thanks Jim, Arlo, Stanley, Vanessa, and all the artist who put their heart into this art.
Thanks so much!
Stephen Foster and Woodie Guthrie, two poetic and musical icons come together in this wonderful song. My favorite.
Beautifully done!
Also worth noting the use of great Farm Securities Administration photographs in the video!
Indeed!
brilliant... brought a tear... Arlo you are a national treasure.. congratulations on a awesome and meaningful career, never give up singing and playing and enjoy retirement.
Beautiful song and music by all. The pictures of earlier days helps us to remember just how hard times were then and how strong all our ancestors were -- persevering through all days and against all odds. May we all show our faith and stand firmly to make it through the problems we have now.
Beautiful and may it be reality soon.
Gratitude to Arlo, Jim, Vanessa and company for this moving rendition of this song. It has come at exactly the right time. And Arlo, your voice was great - all the emotion is still there. I have to thank you for the decades of concerts that I have attended, taken my kids to and my 12 year old granddaughter has gone to 6 of them - every other year in Keene and once in Brattleboro. Be well.
A masterpiece - there is nothing else to say except thank you Arlo and to all involved.
One of my favorite songs Arlo has ever sung!
Thank you Arlo 🎵🎶
The perfect song for right now, from Arlo and company! Thank you!
Love your version of this song,Arlo.I've always loved your music and talent!Thanks for this!
Beautiful song for the times Thanks Arlo I had never heard this before! ps our new black lab is Arlo!
Absolutely wonderful. An amazing tribute to the Guthrie family. Stepen Foster and a more thoughtful America.
What a beautiful gift you have given us Arlo. This is simply lovely and so moving, from start to finish.

David Roy Holmes.

Thank you, dear Arlo !
Wow, what a beautiful Song! Thank you Arlo and friends☺️
Stunning ... and the incandescent smile on the back-up singer (Dasha Chadwick?), really makes me believe there's hope ...
amen to that!
Thank you, Arlo and friends.
Need more of this these days, I think...
Thank you 🙏💕💟✨⭐
Thanks for doing this. Great old song, beautifully executed. Thanks to Arlo for not talking in the middle.
I forgot to add that the knuckleheads who removed Stephen Foster's statue in Pittsburgh are darn fools.
Just beautiful
A classic for the times we find ourselves in. We'll get through it. Thanks for the glimmer of sunlight through the clouds...
Wow! We need this now.
💜🥰❤️ I saw you Arlo, At the University of North Dakota, the Chester Fritz Auditorium. The one and only! The acoustics! Wow! In about 1975 or 1976. I was a student at UND. Amazing, you always are, have been, always will be. Thank you for touching my heart, sharing your talent and your stories. “May God shine his light upon you always and forever”
This song just found me again. 🤝
What a treat, love the song and love Arlo❤️
Thank you, Arlo.
Thank you. So lovely.
Thanks Arlo.
Extraordinary. Thank you.
OH MY HEART❣️❣️❣️This is sooooo needed and appreciated❣️
#petewouldbeproud
Beautifully done. Especially perfect w/ the photography. As a person who recalls past lives of oppression in the not too distant past, it occurs to me that slavery is far from over. Now it’s called minimum wage. While the rich get ever richer off the backs of the average Joe, who’s struggling to survive on crappy wages, he often works two jobs. My car insurance just had a massive hike in cost, and it’s crummy coverage w/ Allstate. I asked the agent why? I was told that they lost money in my state, yet online it says they cleared 5.46 BILLION in 2020. More corporate greed for the shareholders. Like the oil industry that are making record profits while people can’t afford to drive their overpriced cars. Enough is never enough, & this corporate greed is everywhere.
Wonderful!
Sung so lovely and the video was an exalent example of cinematography
Amen Brother. Love y'all Peace :-)
Wow, what a good song.
Beautiful
Amazing
Never heard this song before. Thanks Arlo.
Awesome
Arlo, you would put a smile on Stephen Fosters face
Stunning song.
Loved listening to this classic song; just lovely. Good onya Arlo and your team!
Love yuh arlo ❤
Realizing his respect for music, I notice that Arlo always sings all the lyrics to a song, be it this one or "This Land is Your Land."
The video images do underscore the song's words, but as Arlo notes at the end, we will abide...
Wow, nice tune Arlo!
Beautiful song. Thanks for making this!
So heartfelt
Such a beautiful heartrending video that they made to accompany a timeless song, brings it into everyone's home right NOW. Am so glad to find this....
This is just so very beautiful.
Beautiful! My favorite album you did was with Shenandoah (Outlasting The Blues) I still listen to it!!!!
