i work in retail and a coworker of mine plays townes van zandt and other classic country singers on Sundays due to it usually being a wind-down day, country fitting that sort of thing more than the eclectic playlists of what we would otherwise have on. now, country and folk is not my first pick of music, but these songs rock and im eternally grateful for my coworker for introducing them to me

@@jamiehenry3135 It is not necessary to bring that quote in all of Townes' songs. Getting pretty sick of the comparison. Why can't Townes be himself without being compared? Both Dylan and Townes are amazing songwriters. Enjoy them both.
@@stynershiner1854 Keep scrolling then I guess? The other guy mentioned the comparison so I shared a relative quote that I thought was funny. So how does this work? Since your the internet police do I get off with a warning this time or are ya going to rough me up a little bit? Is there a fine involved?
A once great paradise of all possibilities, soon becomes our tombs the place where none despite their longings can leave, to their growing aggression . Anyway that is my interpritation of this brilliant, brilliant song.
I wouldn't say I adore one more than the other, they are both amazing in their own ways. But I sure do love Townes.. I almost feel his lyrics are more relatable. And his poetry is so beautiful, and not so cryptic as Dylans. I think Townes background is almost more interesting, and it paints a picture of why Townes is Townes.

This whole album is so well written. Townes was such a great composer and storyteller
Well I ain’t gonna try to make you cry, the teardrops couldn’t find your eyes. Poetry.
Our GREATEST AMERICAN SINGER SONG WRITER!!!!
This is as good as anything Bob Dylan has ever written.

@@jamiehenry3135 For every person who quotes this in every TVZ song, CO² increases in the atmosphere. No wonder we have global warming.
@@stynershiner1854 Thank you for your unneeded and unsolicited opinion.
This song has so much depth ..made me teary 😢
My absolute favorite
This might be his best album? Every song is a gem!
Our Mother the Mountain is pretty decent too. But hey, who's quibbling. Let's just enjoy. I hope you have a lovely weekend.
@@guywilletts2804 It is. Those are definitely his best two albums.
one of the most beautiful songs ever written.

Brilliant I hear definitely some Harrison style sound to one, good song.
Fare thee well, Mr’ townes van zandt
instant classic
I miss him
"AND PROUDLY CALL YOUR NAME" ❤❤❤
This would be a cool song for IV and The Strange Band to cover!!!! Great song!!!
A tough hit in the chest. That's where I'm at right now.
Mr. Dylan, you still, have so much to learn.
Hilarious (your comment)
Have you heard Jesse Welles yet?
One of my favorite songs of his! I'm going to do a cover of it soon, just working on memorizing the lyrics.. There are 6 verses. Love this song!
Thanks Townes!
When she carries it all to the marketplace and bets it on the opening race. She can ring her bell Miss Carousel.
Excelente!!
Fare Thee Well, Miss Carousel
Perfection
Love Townes!
"The tears you tried so hard to hide are flowing"
Great song
Great music
TVZ is my rebuttal to the "anything except country" folks.
30K views? That's near a crime.
Now almost 40'000.
Most of them Mine.
and a saturated mediocre mumble rapper gets 6 million lol!
@@greenmanalishi6963 Nobody said life is fair.
@@larrysawchuk370haha, brother ain't that the truth!
Least of all Mr. Van Zandt
I love me some TVZ
true detectiveee

Que te vaya bien miss carrusel
Quien aquí por Nacho Vegas?
¿Es una película?
Quièn?
He was better than Dylan
Insert idiotic RUclips comment here
What absolute perfection.
You just don't get any better than TVZ. My adoration for him peaks more than for Dylan and I don't care who knows it.
I wouldn't say I adore one more than the other, they are both amazing in their own ways. But I sure do love Townes.. I almost feel his lyrics are more relatable. And his poetry is so beautiful, and not so cryptic as Dylans. I think Townes background is almost more interesting, and it paints a picture of why Townes is Townes.
