They once called him the "new Dylan" but not really true. Dylan certainly was one of his heroes, but he shared none of Dylan's cynicism. Empathy and a gentle sense of humour were at the heart of his genius.
John Prine was a beautiful brilliant musician because of his lyrics. Amazing songwriter. I miss him. Thanks for being there John and thanks for all the songs.
Could listen this all damn day. John Prine was a true gift to humanity. My mother suffered from Dementia, lost the ability to do everything she loved except one thing- listen to music. John was her favorite. Throw on an album and she sit and listen for hours. Slapping her own knee so hard i thought it would leave bruises on her withering body, but it was all she had left.
I have been listening to John Prine for over fifty years and every time I think that I have heard all the best John Prine songs I find another one. I hesitate to use the word genius but I don't know what other word to use. So, maybe, a down-to-earth American genius. For those who are just starting to listen to him, start with Hello In There. It is still the song whenever I think about him.
Hello (in there). I just read you comment on this great artist and song-writer that was John Prine. You listened to him for over 50 years....me, I discovered his music only after he passed away ( through RUclips friends)...so, only 3 years. He was not so very well known in France, but oh am I glad to know him now ( sorry for my poor english). I think I will try to play some of his beautiful songs. May he rest in peace....( he had plain for things to do....' when he goes to Heaven🙂).
As a spoof I would bellow out Dear Abby in the Theater at OUL while hanging lights off the A frame ladder. Some got it, others thought I was crazy, it was a win, win for me. 1971 /1972 . " We were sitting in the back seat just shooting the breeze, with her hair up in curlers and her pants to her knees. Singed just married. "
@@paulstaney325 I guess that song completes itself In Spite of Ourselves: In spite of ourselves We'll end up a-sittin' on a rainbow Against all odds Honey, we're the big door prize We're gonna spite Our noses right off of our faces There won't be nothin' but big old hearts Dancin' in our eyes
I’m so thankful that we have 50 years of John. You comment made my heart sink. His world isn’t the same and I didn’t know him personally. This man has saved me. Literally saved me. I’ve never and will never be able to hug him. That hurts.
Sat on the front porch for hours listening to his music when I heard the news yesterday. Praying that this Monday is a good day for you John.......Our prayers are with you and your family !!!!!!!
Thanks John, for making me shiver,. Goosebumps on my arm. Rain from my eye turns into a storm. Then I chuckle, cackle, and memories flood me. Listening to your songs all evenin. Shoulda been in bed asleep. Thanks again.
harry craft indeed, it was a compliment of the highest order. With Dylan you go with the flow and think more deeply about the message after the song is over. With Prine you feel like you’re being woven into the story as it unfolds. Both great artists with unique styles each.
@@fuzzyfriend8126 a friend played me John's sweet revenge lp in 74. it's playing & i'm reading the cover & grady martin on bass? is this guy crazy? steve goodman on guitar? reggie young on guitar? who in the hell is steve goodman & reggie who? they need to get grady martin on ............... WOW!!! what a guitar lick!! who was that? ohhhh reggie young. dang who is on that 12 string? ohhhh steve goodman. ok. i'll shut up & learn something about who needs to play what. Prine wasn't just a good writer or singer or guitarist, he was good at arranging & composing & everybody knows you can't use a horn with steel guitars or keyboard. well he did. Bruised Orange is a fine piece of work.
I'm so sorry for the loss of your beloved husband. I'm glad you have those wonderful memories. I know what you mean, many Prine songs remind me of my fiance I met in 1980, the only man I truly loved. He was unlike anyone I've ever known, when I first saw him I felt like I'd always known him and we were just picking up where we left off. It was so easy to be with him, and he made every ordinary experience special somehow. We both loved John Prine and Harry Nilsson, when I listen to their songs it brings back sweet memories. Bert died in 1989, I'm never going to be "over it", but I'm grateful that: "...Well, I once knew love - I knew how love felt Yeah I knew love - love knew me And when I walked - love walked with me And I got no hate - and I got no pride Well, I got so much love that I cannot hide..."
@@LazyIRanch thank you for the kind sweet words. It's hard to find your true love. He was 52 when he had a stroke. Everyday is a long Monday. We had a special love for sure. I feel him each day. Each day I remember how short his life was. We were married for less then 7 months but were friends forever. Will always love my Frankie
My wife is gone to another country to visit family, it’s been definitely a long Monday. Being sad, depressed doesn’t really describe how I feel. Listen to JP makes me feel like he is giving me a big hug and actually cares. It’s like watching Robin Williams. I feel the same with him. These to men truly care.
I can't think of any other entertainer that has been with me more then Mr Prine..birth of my children John was there...passing of my parents John was there... sad times angry times happy times John made them all better times...thanks for helping me get through life Me Prine...So glad we got to see you perform many times
I heard an interview with Merle Haggard on NPR. Terri Gross asked him, how have you managed to write so many really good songs? His reply, "Well, I've written far more really bad songs. Sometimes it works." ;)
He had a gift, and we were here to benefit from it. Benn a fan since 1971 and a few months, So many songs hit home but ,on the lighter side one of his songs was good for comedy, Dear Abby. I can't sing for shit but I would bellow it out from time to time if the situation fit. Hope he got his cocktail and cigarette!
I am a songwriter like John and trust me he is in a class all his own been listening to him for 25 years and as a singer he is my hero. His lyrics and melodies are so beautiful and heartfelt.
I live in Nashville, TN. I met John once in a Kroger (grocery store). He was shopping and I didn’t want to bother him. I just shook his hand and said thank you for the music. My favorite of his songs is Angels from Montgomery. He has a way of painting a picture of real life and then noticing the soul that exists underneath it. I used to go to this little hotdog shop called Hot Diggity Dogs just south of Broadway in Nashville. It was the home of Nashville’s Chicago Dog. It closed in 2019. The owner said that John used to come in periodically and get a dog and sit outside and eat it. I hoped I’d run into him one day. Instead, our paths crossed at Kroger. Thanks again John.
Well said my friend. John Prine was a true gift to the world. That's alright he is probably in heaven right now having a cocktail " Vodka and ginger ail and a cigarette that's 9 miles long" !! Lol. When I get to heaven I hope to meet John prine!! 😊😅🎉
"soul to soul, heart to heart, & cheek to cheek, c'mon baby give me a kiss that"ll last all week" . . . . amazing lyrics! Will be sadly missed. RIP John
I first heard this song during a time of my life when a relationship with a love ended. It was a painful time but I would listen to this and his voice would soothe the hurt I felt. I listened to the album ‘Fair and square’ regularly and became obsessed. I’d stay up late and scout RUclips and grooveshark in a bid to discover more of his music. Looking back, I think it’s John Prine combined with Nancy Griffith who got this English 25 year old into country music. I decided to listen again after hearing the news of John fighting this terrible virus and it reminds me of how much of an impression he’s had on my musical journey. Stay strong and fight this! x
You are one of a kind Mr. Prine. Nobody wrote them like you From now till the end of time, nobody will do it like you. The memories that you've given me have turned out to be what has helped me make it through. Life is hard, life is rough and lots of times can't be explained. You continue in song to be a true genius. It was one of the saddest days of my life when you passed. You will live on with your music. I'd be hard pressed to pick a favorite. I will always be in your debt. A debt that can never be repaid. Thank you Mr. Prine
So sad this great man has gone on to heaven. Thank you so much for the great sounds you shared with the world. What a magnificent talent you have always been and will always be in our hearts!
This is the song that tied my husband and i together through the week. He was my best friend, my silly giddy, hunting buddy, my. Forforever... soul mate. This song will forever remind me of walks through the hoh forest with him, the smell of the ocean on dog beach and snow coming down on a deer blind, and the laughter we shared. And how much love two people can share...
I have always loved John's music, and this tune is among my favourites. I particularly like that the video was filmed on the roads in and about Paradise, or at least where it used to be until Peabody hauled it away and put a the power plant there (the one right near the end of the video). I rode up there once until the armed security guards chased me away.
Guess boomers are good for something after all. Check out some of his early stuff, 60s & 70s. Cynical yet funny. Help many of us get through a difficult turbulent time. Randy Newman was like the establishment John Prine .
Daniel Wellborn I did too... on NPR’s tiny little desk concerts And tonight I was listening and then found out 😢 So lucky to have found him & what a legacy. And I was born in the 70’s😲 Just not exposed to a lot of variety of music...but now am.
Radio's on, windows rolled up and my minds rolled down...../ stuck like a tick of a clock that's come unwound again. Only John could look at life and come up with such beautiful and thought provoking lines. Truly will be missed!
Just say a song is by John Prine and you know it is so wonderful. Rest in peace John and thank you for all that you have given to us. Thoughts and prayers are with your family and everyone from Patrick
Very beautiful. Going through a psychotic break and figured some Prine would help. It is. Miss you. You're voice and gentleness has never let me down. Thank you John, deadman
John prine made music that made sense unlike a lot of music today.The world needs more songwriters like John. You will be missed Mr. Prine but your music will live forever
...you know - i listen to John, and I without thinking about it somewhere the back of my soul is speaking to me, saying, "this song has always been"...and I nod agreeably...but that's not true at all...John Prine gave us these gifts, these moments, and our lives are forever touched by his magic...
Did not know or even know of John Prine until he had passed. At 74 my world and his were on parallel tracks, I think I have missed a brother and a musical treasure.
Every day I am driving to work, I invariably see “Objects in the mirror”, and I think of this song, and I think of my wife at home. Like a ritual, this song keeps me grounded every morning, reminds me what I work for, and why I push myself to work hard. Thanks for getting me motivated every day John.
world class songwriting untouchable poetry....just beautiful !!!! so very tragic John is gone.....just maybe the world`s best songwriter....folkie/country......
Christ this is wonderful
The beautiful thing about this song is that it reminds EVERYONE of SOMEONE.
That's so true
Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened...
This never dies
John Prine; forever shining words of life living and grateful grace ! Thank you ! ❤🎉
Well, I love John Prine
That's all I have to say about
John Prine
Nicely said.
Yes and I have for over 45 years.
well said Carl
Yes, love him so much! His music is beautiful! He is in heaven singing!
R.I.P J.P ~ 🌵 💐
My favourite John Prine song is often the one I’m listening to at this moment.
His words and music are unparalleled.
Exactly...
Can't do better.
my parallel parking is unparalleled.
He says "you and I sitting in the back of my memory." John was a genius.
Keith Sikes helped write this song!
He just had a way of connecting his words with the lives of ordinary people
They once called him the "new Dylan" but not really true. Dylan certainly was one of his heroes, but he shared none of Dylan's cynicism. Empathy and a gentle sense of humour were at the heart of his genius.
I love them both so very much. They both have their place and they are both equals on the level of ingenuity of their lyrics in my opinion.
Doesn’t get much better than this.
John Prine was a beautiful brilliant musician because of his lyrics. Amazing songwriter. I miss him. Thanks for being there John and thanks for all the songs.
Don't be sad that he's gone. Be glad that he was.
Exactly he touched so many lives because he was who he was. RIP dear John Prine
I will be sad that he's gone. I will be glad that he was.
Seorhas Cuimean It’s okay to be both, I think. I’m glad he was here and I’ll miss him till I’m gone.
Amen

Mine would be In Spite of Ourselves, with Iris Demint. Second would be this song.
As a spoof I would bellow out Dear Abby in the Theater at OUL while hanging lights off the A frame ladder.
Some got it, others thought I was crazy, it was a win, win for me. 1971 /1972 . " We were sitting in the back seat just shooting the breeze, with her hair up in curlers and her pants to her knees. Singed just married. "
@@paulstaney325 I guess that song completes itself In Spite of Ourselves:
In spite of ourselves
We'll end up a-sittin' on a rainbow
Against all odds
Honey, we're the big door prize
We're gonna spite
Our noses right off of our faces
There won't be nothin' but big old hearts
Dancin' in our eyes
The world needs so much more of this music....
Yep, too many people are hiding these feelings. Might say there are a whole lot a people running on empty. Love John Prine!
Definitely
I’m so thankful that we have 50 years of John. You comment made my heart sink. His world isn’t the same and I didn’t know him personally. This man has saved me. Literally saved me. I’ve never and will never be able to hug him. That hurts.

It sure does

Makes me so SAD Daily 😔🙏
He's going to smoke his 9 mile long cigarette 🚬
A true lyrical genius! Humble boy & a great man!! We'll miss you buddy!!
John Prine was like a Bob Dylan, except slowed down so you can get a thought in edgewise. We lost a great one with John Prine!
edgewise like a fish slice? i.e. like F& S
Dylan could have written Sam Stone for sure. I first heard Bob on 8 track tape.
If u meant it like i think u meant it it is great way to compliment both men.lov them both

How could one man possibly write so many great songs? I've been listening to him for decades, but this one's new to me.

He makes me feel like I’ve always known him. Like if he walked into my house we would talk about the old days and laugh our asses off.
He had a brilliant way about him. He wrote simple words that held so much behind them. Certainly a fantastic songwriter. ♡♡♡♡♡
Mindy Smith is the background vocalist on this song. She is a force in her own right. Love all her records.
I cannot find a single song of John's that I do not like, and most surely I never will!

Like a ritual, this song keeps me grounded every morning, reminds me what I work for, and why I push myself to work hard. Thanks for getting me motivated every day John.
Greatest picture painter with words and music ever
