I have just lost my beautiful daughter to that horrible disease cancer, she was only 57yrs old, my heart is broken and listening to this song has got me through the darkest days, god bless Merle and his music.
I know how you feel as my daughter turns 59 this April and only has a few months left to hear the wind as this dreaded disease invades her body . Merle's sings it like it is special to him as well .
l agree with you, indeed Merle Haggard is a great and talented artist who's songs never goes out of style,he's one of my favorites artist, he songs still and always heals the Soul, I pray God gives you lot of beautiful days!!!
355 dislikes. Why yal listening to the Hag in the first place if you dont like the music. Shame on yas all. Merle Haggard was the best there ever was and his music will never die. Im sure you haters out there will soon be forgotten when your time comes to leave this world. Rip my friend.
Well said, for he will go down in history, even though he is gone, he will live forever from his beautiful music! I loved his voice and music, he is one of real Country's best! Rest in piece my friend!
an appropriate song for a brother lost .. tonight i'll listen to the wind and say a prayer of thanks that I lived in the world that Merle Haggard shared with us..
Loss my husband to suicide 7 yrs ago tomorrow. Was in law enforcement for 30 yrs. I will be listening to the wind. And if I could only fly. Best music ever
Sometimes when I am up north at my cabin in the woods I sit on my deck and listen to the wind. It brings back memories of times gone by, friends who have crossed over, good times with old friends so this song really hit me.
He sang and played so well. As a songwriter, whose songs were heart-rending or funny or simply beautiful, he was a genius and the preeminent country master.
I only discovered Merle Haggard within the last year. I’m so sorry I did not know him years ago so that I could have attended his concerts. I am 86 years old and come from a country music family. I can tell you that Merle was absolutely the greatest song writer, story teller, singer of the last 50 years! I have never felt this way about a singer!
I have tears in my eyes. God Bless You Merle. Thanks for all the Great Songs. God, Country Music just isn’t the same without all the greats who are gone. RIP.
He just such a beautiful soul. The greatest country composer singer guitarist..so soulful and beautiful lyrics..there will never be another like the HAGG..RIP Merle Haggard. Thank you for everything!!
I am married, almost 20 years, and I love my husband very much. Merle Haggard is probably the only other person that has brought that feeling to the forefront.....songs like this and those beautiful words and music.....he had so many, so masterful....a true old soul and a man with a message.....God Bless you always Merle! Your Theresa is in my thoughts, I know she truly misses you, as we all do!
This song will be played at my husbands funeral in may, huge merle fans! Weve seen him and talked to him several times! The best ever! My Billy loved merle!❤
I just heard this song, my mom passed away a little over a year ago and Merle was her most favorite country singer, mine to, this is a beautiful song, maybe we should all listen to the wind. Absolutely love it!!
This is the second time I’ve heard this song thought it was kind of neat that he dedicated it to his brother that passed away a year ago. I’ve listened to a lot of music from Merle in my 84 years. I wish he was still with us, I will miss him for a long time, he was the best. His sons are following in his footsteps & they are great, RIP Merle.❤
We Loved the Hag, The best country singer ever My husband passed away 16 months ago we danced so many times to his music and got to meet him in Branson Missouri he was so gracious
So beautiful and this is the very same feelings about my precious brother. My only sibling. We are only 17 months apart. Merle is so talented. Loving and missing him ♥️🌹😞
Listening to the wind Trying to hear the voice of a distant friend Wishing you and I were close again Listening to the wind Listening to the breeze As it whispers through the poplar trees Do you think of me way back then? Do you listen to the wind? Listening to the night Wishing we could hold and squeeze each other tight I can almost hear the stars so bright Do you listen to the night? Listening to the sound Of a highway through some distant town I can almost hear the pale moon light Do you listen to the night? **************** Listening to my mind Searching through my thoughts for the perfect life Using tricks and telepathy at times Do you listen to your mind? Listening to the breeze As it whispers through the poplar trees Wishing you and I were close again Just listening to the wind.....
Thats weird,how in the world do you know EVERYONE & what they remember or dont?!?!? Id appreciate it if next time you think about making a statement about people you never even met...just plz keep scrolling! You dont know a damn thing bout me or my life or the fact if it wasnt for men like Mr.Merle Haggard,Billy Joe Shaver,John Prine,Guy Clark,Townes Van zandt,Todd Snider & more than I care to type! I would have killed myself a long fucking time ago!!!! So NO I HAVENT FORGOT A MAN WHO SAVED ME,even if I am not worthy of saving.
Gone but never will be forgotten ..... Don williams used to be my fav untill I heard you Hag .....Your songs just keeps me going ..... Thanks for all the lovely music.... A real Cowboy ..... Love from India
The LORD took the GREATEST SINGER IN COUNTRY MUSIC that ever lived home to be with him! We will miss you but you will always be in my heart and on my mind! I really enjoy listening to your songs and I had to privilege to see you up close at one of your concerts! My prayers go out to HIS FAMILY and his country music FAMILY! R.I.P.
Mr.Haggerard or( the Hag)as referred to by some, this song deserves a standing ovation. Though you have past away, your songs will always be alive. You will always be known as one of country's true artist. R I P SIR.
💞If I could only fly & Listen to the wind. Two of the most in depth songs, written by The Merle. Another dismal song on a dismal day. He could make you feel every word. 🐞🎧🎼🎶. Cheers 🥂. Thanks for sharing
I do so love to listen to Merle Haggard, brings back so many memories for me, back when I was a young married woman, we used to listen and actually watch Merle Haggard on T.V. Now, today I can watch and hear him sing , on my computer.! Praise God.
Wish you were here still. It never gets old. Its just your music is my church..and it always speaks to me when I need it to. If not the words..the memories of the times of just listening while driving alone. The stories you would tell.. The love you found..lost and found lol. Then songs like this, figuring out lyrics and the meanings. It soothes my soul... Thank you Merle. The Hag will never be forgotten.
It does not get better - it does not get closer to approaching the Almighty than the art and craft of Merle Haggard: the greatest of all time, for all eternity. He sings for us all.
Ah Merle, you're gone from us now, but thank you for leaving us with music that tears at our soul. How can anyone listen to this and not cry. I can't wait to get to Heaven...so many greats there and I miss you all so much.
l agree with you, indeed Merle Haggard is a great and talented artist who's songs never goes out of style,he's one of my favorites artist, he songs still and always heals the Soul, I pray God gives you lot of beautiful days!!!
More talented than most will ever know Claudie, as George Jones once said (The greatest country talent of all time). He had 286 songs that he had wrote but never put out, look for Ben to do some of these songs in the near future. R.I.P Hag!!
Merle Haggard , you have brought so much , your songs and music, have given me much , just listening to this one, Listening To The Wind, the memories of my young days .
l agree with you, indeed Merle Haggard is a great and talented artist who's songs never goes out of style,he's one of my favorites artist, he songs still and always heals the Soul, I pray God gives you lot of beautiful days!!!
Definitely a new favorite of mine. .. amazing guitar picking, and the lyrics broke my heart a little. :) Beautiful authentic country music just the way God intended it to sound . Thank you Merle!
I'm so sorry for your loss! It has always amazed me how a song can instantly take you to another place in time, open old wounds, or instantly bring someone to mind.
I suppose any memory that can so easily be conjured out of thin air, good or bad, is probably one worth keeping whether to teach us, heal us, remind us of roads we have slready traveled and dont want to go back down, and most importantly, at least for me, it can remind us that even where there is loss, the pain only exists because we were lucky enough to have known something beautiful enough in our lifetime to grieve for it... to me that in itself is an admission that that sort of beauty exists in life. Which is reason enough for me to carry on and seek out new beauty. I suppose I am with the old saying it is better to hurt than feel nothing at all... I wouldn't trade it, loss has taught me how to live, and reminded me how fragile and fleeting people and things we love can be... love with all you have and dont go out with regret...
No one knows what he meant to me.He taught me how to write a country song. Vince Gill said it best “Iam lost in a world with out Haggard “ GOD Bless THE HAG
NO ONE EVER HAS OR EVER WILL FILL THE HAG'S BOOTS!!! JUST HEARING ONE OF HAG'S SONGS A DAY IS ENOUGH TO MAKE MY WHOLE DAY A HAPPY ONE!😘🙅🎵🎵AND HE WAS AS SMART AS COULD BE TO BOOT!!! SURE HAS HANDSOME SONS,LOOK LIKE THEIR DAD & ARE PLUM TALENTED AT PICKIN & SINGIN❤I THANK GOD FOR ALL OF UM!!
Lord Merle, I swear that I can and do listen to you all day long and never get tired. You can make me laugh, cry, and be melancholy all in one song. Thanking God for so much talent that you have.
You were the best of the very best, ol' Merle. Thanks for all the songs you wrote and sang with such soul - you could move someone out or into a mood with a few lines sung with that incredible voice. You will live with us forever.
l agree with you, indeed Merle Haggard is a great and talented artist who's songs never goes out of style,he's one of my favorites artist, he songs still and always heals the Soul, I pray God gives you lot of beautiful days!!!
I remember when this aired for the first time nearly 20 years ago. It instantly became one of my favorite Merle songs. Him, Jimmie, Lefty, Hank, Waylon, George Jones, Paycheck and Marty Robbins and many more are all passing the guitar around up above. Rest in peace Merle!
l agree with you, indeed Merle Haggard is a great and talented artist who's songs never goes out of style,he's one of my favorites artist, he songs still and always heals the Soul, I pray God gives you lot of beautiful days!!!
I went to the Strawberry Festival, to see Merle, this year, but he couldn't be there , he was sick, an later, we learned he had passed, so sad, there will never be another like this man, he was the best
I want to personally thank Mr. Merle Haggard and Willie Nelson for their wonderful songs that I get to perform on my live Facebook page Tuesday and Saturday nights. It is truly the joy of my life to be able to perform their music from the 1970s. Rest in peace Mr. Merle Haggard Brucewayne Clark Junkyard Country Club
That my friends is Mr.Merle Haggard.Ronnie Van Zant's favorite singer and mine as well.Next level singer, writer, guitarist, over all musician.Voice smoother than Popcorn Sutton's shine.Talked with him once for about 10 minutes about guitars and marijuana (long story) I'll never forget it.
Still remember when I heard this one for the first time at Merle's show..awesome song..Merle released this one on his 2000 album titled, "If I Could Only Fly".
This song touches me like all Merle's great songs. I saw him in Tama Iowa on his BIRTHDAY and I left there amazed at what preformance he gave. He plays grate and finishes every note and word. What a great talent.
you will be truly missed mr Merle Haggard grew up listen to ur music and will continue rest in peace sing you're beautiful music to the angels in heaven
Never has the death of an artist affected me like Merle Haggard's has. It was like losing an old, dear friend, although we never met. I sure miss him, but I'm happy that his music will live on.
l agree with you, indeed Merle Haggard is a great and talented artist who's songs never goes out of style,he's one of my favorites artist, he songs still and always heals the Soul, I pray God gives you lot of beautiful days!!!
I'll always love Merle he's so great he was my all time favorite I grew up with him my uncle got me started listening to him they played Merle's music at my uncle's funeral . It's sad without Merle Haggard
Thanks Terry, I really needed this one tonight. What a long, sad day today. I know he was real sick and Ben said he called himself that his b-day would be the day. I can only hope that there is one helluva concert going on somewhere in this vast universe where he is catching up with long lost friends. I am really going to miss you, Hag. You were my country music hero.
I listen to the wind. I hear you Merle Haggard. I hear all of my friends and loved ones with your music as the soundtrack. The very best years of my life were spent listening to the greatest singer and songwriter that ever lived.

I"m a country music fan and mourned the loss of greats like Johnny Cash, but I can't shake the loss of Merle. It's more personal.
agree
I know exactly what you are saying and going through. I haven't been able to wrap my head around Merle's being gone.
My first [but not the last] introduction to country and western!!!! Will love him forever!

I have a feeling Merle wouldn’t want you listening to his songs any other way

Merle Haggard..my favorite country artist. This song tears me up.

My mom and my wife passed away back in 2017. This song hits different when You've lost so much. Great song!

Merle, George Jones and Gene Watson, real country voices, today's music doesn't deserve to be called country.

Hello Janet. How're you doing? Hope you good.
Listening to the wind
Trying to hear the voice of a distant friend
Wishing you and I were close again
Listening to the wind
Listening to the breeze
As it whispers through the poplar trees
Do you think of me way back then?
Do you listen to the wind?
Listening to the night
Wishing we could hold and squeeze each other tight
I can almost hear the stars so bright
Do you listen to the night?
Listening to the sound
Of a highway through some distant town
I can almost hear the pale moon light
Do you listen to the night?
****************
Listening to my mind
Searching through my thoughts for the perfect life
Using tricks and telepathy at times
Do you listen to your mind?
Listening to the breeze
As it whispers through the poplar trees
Wishing you and I were close again
Just listening to the wind.....
Damn 😢
I know the feeling of loss, oh how I miss my friend and mom ❤
R.i.p. Merle, your music has brought me through some rough times

Merle Da Pearl Haggard is one of country musics greatest performers ... only!!! genuine one i know of that could bring a tear to a glass eye!

This song epitomizes the deep feelings of perhaps the greatest traditional country performer of all time; The Hag; yes....
He deserved to win the Nobel peach pry
He is the greatest artist in the entire history of the country genre.

Southernblueeyes78 I listen to Merle everyday. I Loved him so.
My heart still hurts so bad

Merle was such an amazing heartfelt musician just watch his eyes as he talks to the band and he reaches out to the audience members with his eyes
I want to personally thank Mr. Merle Haggard and Willie Nelson for their wonderful songs that I get to perform on my live Facebook page Tuesday and Saturday nights. It is truly the joy of my life to be able to perform their music from the 1970s. Rest in peace Mr. Merle Haggard

Never has the death of an artist affected me like Merle Haggard's has. It was like losing an old, dear friend, although we never met. I sure miss him, but I'm happy that his music will live on.

Hello Donna how are you doing today??
My country music hero has passed on. God Speed Merl.
Thanks Terry, I really needed this one tonight. What a long, sad day today. I know he was real sick and Ben said he called himself that his b-day would be the day. I can only hope that there is one helluva concert going on somewhere in this vast universe where he is catching up with long lost friends. I am really going to miss you, Hag. You were my country music hero.
