@@LagunaMadreDad Natalie Maines (from The Chicks, whose fellow band mate Emily was married to Charlie back then) sang backup vocals on this song. It’s the best version of all of them out there IMHO.
I just read that Charlie Robison passed away. I’ll never forget seeing him all those times at Gruene Hall, including the night a girl I’d never heard of before opened for him. Miranda Lambert. Thanks for all the happy music memories Charlie. Godspeed
We covered this song on our set list for a long time. When cheznutz released it and it "became his song" it became an embarrassment to hear people love how we covered a chucknut song, we stopped ✋️
RIP Charlie Robison. This was my bride’s favorite song. It became constant replay after my bride passed. Going places where we had fun, chasing her ghost. Thank you for sharing your voice.
RIP Charlie. I’m here looking for your footprints (your music) that you’ve left us. This one has always been my favorite and it’s on repeat. Thank you. 💔
This song helped me through are really hard time in my life. I lost my beautiful wife of 10 years and my lovely 2 yr old daughter in a car crash. It was my fault as I fell asleep driving. I was the only survivor. I just kindof crawled into a bottle for about 10 years. Then one day it was just time to move on. It helped me to understand its okay to be sad for a little bit. To feel lost is not as alone as I though it was. It’s okay to feel like your looking for someone for a while. It’s okay to just be sad after drinking a night away. It’s alright to morn the loss of someone gone and just be sad and angry. I think it’s alright to feel this way forever. It gets easier but it’s just a feeling that never leaves it just gets a little easier and you learn how to live with it. But it’s always there. You know how a song can take you right back to a place in time? This song does that for me. I go right back to that time, those feelings, those memories and those emotions. Like right now. Hearing this song used to hurt so much. Now it brings back great memories. The melancholy in this song is just dripping and I love it. Thanks Charlie. Your song probably saved my life at one point. Rest in peace good man. I pray someday my family forgives me.
My son use to sing this!! Music died with him, 40 years old!! I have to listen every now and then!! I miss him something terrible!! He is singing in the angels chorus now!!
Spent my share of nights in my 20s listening to this on a late night drive after a rough breakup. Married now and happy, Thank you Charlie for the company during those years.
I had two friends it passed away, years ago. One in her 20's, one in her 30's. It's hard to be the only one left who remembers the memories, the punchlines, the good times. When I want to feel close to them I listen to this song.
Omgoodness I'm just hearing about the sudden passing of Charlie. 😢😢😢. Such a talented singer songwriter who was so underrated. This is one of my favorites and my heart breaks for your children who now must navigate life without your beautiful soul. What a horrible beginning of my birthday month of September. First Jimmy Buffet and now you. Rest Easy Dear Friend. I will miss you 😢😢😢
I listened to this version all night and praying for a miracle with my grandmother who was in the hospital with Covid. Can’t listen to it without crying. Charlie Robinson did such an amazing job with this written by the late Keith gattis. One of my favorite songs ever
Am just reading...Mr. Robison died today, age 59. I discovered this song & video decades ago, fell in love with both; I can so see myself in this offering from him, following someone I was infatuated with, but alas I never was loved back, tho I spent years looking for his footprints in the sand...RIP Charlie. I will never forget this beautiful song & video you gave to us all.
This song kind of fits. My wife has dementia and I'm losing her to a little more each day. I spend each day with her but this song tells the story as the disease progresses. I keep looking for the woman I married 49 years ago and every now and then I catch a glimpse of my lovely wife as she was when we met and over the years. November 3rd will be our 50th anniversary.
Awwwwe…I’m so sorry. You know my mom had a best friend for 42 years. She passed away from ovarian cancer in March 2014; otherwise they would now be best friends for 51 years. Prior to her getting cancer, my mom lost touch for a little while because she (my mom) was taking care of my two grandmothers. One 95 and the other 98. Life just got busy. When we learned her best friend had cancer, we called to see if we could go visit. One of her daughters put her on the phone and you could tell that she was confused. It wasn’t until we visited her in person that her memory came back for a while. We later learned that she had also been diagnosed with dementia and then it all made sense. I think dealing with this can, often times, be far worse than dealing with a more physical illness b/c that person you love so much is present but their memory isn’t or at least failing them in stages. I’m terribly sorry about your wife. You sound like a loving, wonderful husband and she, a wonderful wife and hope you got to 50 years together. It’s called one day at a time but it’s not always easy. I hope you get to see some more years together. Fifty years together, and counting, is a reflection of pure love and dedication…the commitment to each other, in sickness and in health.
@@kenzierocks1240 thank you. You really understand what a terrible disease this dementia is. I'm being torn apart. I'm living in the house by myself, looking at all her clothes,makeup, items she fancied and collected. I don't know what to do with them. I know she's never coming back home but there's a little voice inside my head that says maybe she will recover and I've removed all her belongings. I just don't know. Thankyou for your kind response. Love you.
Charlie's voice at the end is just pure magic. I little break up in it. Its something Nashville would have never left in the final mix. Its about emotion. Songs should take you on a journey. To a place where the writer was at the time he penned it. This one hits the bullseye.
You are absolutely right. Charlie sings it right from the heart and his version is the best. He was underrated in Nashville but we knew his value and the magic he gave to a song. Rest Easy Dear Charlie 😢😢
Classic, pitch-perfect country song. The story is engaging, Charlie's got that high lonesome sound locked in and Natalie Manes' harmony is crystal-clear perfection. I wish every country song sounded like this!
My favorite remake of this song. One of the best country songs nobody really knew until recently. Charlie's voice just has the hurt, loss, and regret in it. THAT is country.
This is such a great song, and Natalie Maines' voiced layered with Charlie's is just perfect for this song. This is the only version I've heard and it will most likely always be thus because I don't think it can be topped. Thanks for the song Charlie.
RIP Charlie Robison. This song speaks so deeply to me. I haven't had it easy but I will carry on. I mess up royally. I played this song so many times since it came out in 2004 and then Kenny Chesney covered it in 2012. The scenes of the desert and the beach, they resonate with me. The good Lord is found in those scenes and everywhere. He knows all and knows my broken state. It's a song about longing and brokenness. I don't have to bear it alone. (Sidenote, is there a clearer version of this video to watch? It's a bit pixelated but I'm happy to have at least this one to watch.)
This song has such amazing soul but it is just so bittersweet for me, you see my Father died twenty one days after being diagnosed with terminal lung cancer and my Mother was in the middle stage of dementia and she would sundown about my Dad or about people she know fifty years ago. When it was my Father she saw and then he would just vanish she would panic having forgotten he had died and she would go out looking for him. Mom died 14 months later and they are placed together at last together.
This is the original version. Too many on here are saying Chesney cut it first. Just check the years of release. This version was cut several years before Chesney.
Damn. Every time I hear this song it reminds me of lost love. It’s the song I associate to an old love. It’s been years but I still cry when I hear this song and remember him.
The year this song came out a dear family friend went missing just before Christmas. It took nearly a month to find her and it wasn’t good when they did. This song makes me feel a lot of things.
Can't stop listening to this since dad passed. He liked Chesneys version, but when I think of him, being a red dirt fan from Oklahoma myself, this'n is more meaningful to me.
The video really accentuates the emotion of the song. You can hear the sadness in his voice, and with the video you really see it on his face too. Very touching.
milamj09 - "Nice try" yourself" -- You simply re-stated EXACTLY what I originally posted and then implied it's inaccurate. So I guess Robinson performed the song BEFORE the man who wrote it ever did. ??? SMH! The fact that Robinson RECORDED the song on a studio album before either Gattis or Chesney doesn't make Robinson the "original." You don't get more ORIGINAL than the person who actually WROTE the song. You're pretty CLUELESS!
Ive always liked Charlie. He sings with a lot of soul. Kenny is Kenny. He will always be in the middle of mainstream country.I believe some artists dont need and maybe dont want the constant glare of the spotlight. Great music will always shine.
My favorite out of them all. If you haven't heard, Charlie recently posted on fb he can't sing anymore due to surgery complications. My husband and I have been to countless shows. I feel for the guy and I sure wish seeing him in person. We have to keep his music going . There's no one like him.
@wtfievh I agree! My brother is a huge Charlie Robinson fan, that's where I first heard of him, and this year at the NHSFR we were sitting around late one night and this boy that I didn't know was playing his guitar and singing. He said "Has anybody ever heard of Charie Robinson?" No one else had, but of course I had. He ang this song and it was AMAZING.
Song hits home.. I've been lookin' for you for the last yr.. Miss you C.P. .. Just remembering all the times we listened to this song all the time.. Alway placed a smile within my heart.

This man was a legend, live shows all over Texas, just him and a guitar. Damn the world lost a real one
His voice just goes with the song definitely one of the best to do it

@@JeremyElliottfrom the news reports he died from cardiac arrest. No mention of drugs or other habits.

THIS version should have flown so much higher on the charts.
This version, was the original.
Abso fucking lutely
All this Texas music should do better, but Nashville wont let radio make it happen. Oh its a pretty dam good secret.

@@patricksmith2215 yeah but keith gattis wrote it, and he cut a version a year later.
I just came to play one of my favorites after reading we lost Charlie. I'm stunned and heart broke. What a talent.
That's why I'm here.... 😢
Rest in peace Charlie. Texas is just a little smaller today. God Bless you and your family.

So hauntingly beautiful. Every once in a while I have to come back to this song.
I'm back again.
Me too. Charlie knocks it out of the park. You can see the heartache and sorrow on his face from the very beginning. Great job, Charlie...
Rest in peace Charlie ! Thank You for the music that you left us to enjoy ! Thoughts and prayers for your family and friends !

Best Charlie Robison song and one of my all time favorite songs. Perfect. Love Natalie's singing too, her voice is perfect here.
Love the background on this song.
I love the moment in the last chorus when they switch and she takes over the melody.
RIP Charlie...and condolences to your family. The world will miss such an awesome voice....
Rest in peace Charlie Robison.
Fly high, Charlie. It's one of my favorite songs. Poetic.
Charlie has a lot of songs I would describe as "Haunting". This guy is it.
One of the BEST SONG I've heard. Rest in Heaven, Charlie!
Most UNDERrated country song ever.... CHARLIE, BEYOND WELL DONE!! THANK YOU....... LOVING THIS SINCE IT CAME OUT......GOD BLESS
Absolutely
R.I.P. Charlie. Loved your music. Loved this song. Loved singing to Sunset Boulevard.

So long Charlie, you gave us some great songs. Rest easy
This song is so emotional. With FGL and all this pop with a cowboy hat on, I can always count on Charlie to take me back.
Today hurts. Thank you for all you gave us, Charlie. We will miss you.

Charlie was the first to cut it. Bruce, his brother wrote it.

Thank Keith Gattis since that's where Charlie got it from
This song was ALL OVER CMT when it was released!!
For good reason, but I didn't know that.. it's kind of a hidden gem only four hundred comments.. Someday will have millions

It's not only Texas that Charlie Robison is well known. He has many fans here in Connecticut as well brilliant singer songwriter
The best country song ever
This is the original version. Too many on here are saying Chesney cut it first. Just check the years of release. This version was cut several years before Chesney.
And Keith Gattis wrote the song and recorded it before them, so...
No it wasn't the original
Keith Gattis, the songwriter out of Austin actually cut it first.
I’ve heard all three versions. I like this one the best.
This song is hauntingly lovely. Bring us another one Charlie
Damn. Every time I hear this song it reminds me of lost love. It’s the song I associate to an old love. It’s been years but I still cry when I hear this song and remember him.
Rest in Piece, Charlie. Thank you for this song. I'll cherish it forever..
Wish Kenny hadn't remade this. Charlies voice sounds haunted and lost. I love it. There was no reason to remake something so perfect as it was.
The year this song came out a dear family friend went missing just before Christmas. It took nearly a month to find her and it wasn’t good when they did. This song makes me feel a lot of things.
This one knocks it out of the park for me
RIP to a singer songwriter legend!!!
Can't stop listening to this since dad passed. He liked Chesneys version, but when I think of him, being a red dirt fan from Oklahoma myself, this'n is more meaningful to me.
Rip in peace man! Under rated,and gone too soon.
A all time favorite song 🎵 of mine. Nobody sings it with more heart ❤️ then Charlie.....and the harmony with Natalie is just perfection 🥰 💞
Kenny Chesney can’t sniff Charlie on this song!!! Wish we could hear you live again!
Robison rules, reminds me of college when this was on cmt
The video really accentuates the emotion of the song. You can hear the sadness in his voice, and with the video you really see it on his face too. Very touching.
One of my favorite songs! Thanks for the music that will last forever! RIP….
Texas is the best place that music is coming from these days
About every other month I put this CD in and listen to this song like 50 times in a row
Good song! Original and best version, in my opinion.
Kenny remade this???
Yep
Robison is NOT the original.
Robison did a cover of Keith Gattis' (writer) original.
Baksida TH Keith Gattis is the writer. Robinson originally PERFORMED the song. Nice try.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Cerrito_Place
milamj09 - "Nice try" yourself" -- You simply re-stated EXACTLY what I originally posted and then implied it's inaccurate.
So I guess Robinson performed the song BEFORE the man who wrote it ever did. ??? SMH!
The fact that Robinson RECORDED the song on a studio album before either Gattis or Chesney doesn't make Robinson the "original."
You don't get more ORIGINAL than the person who actually WROTE the song. You're pretty CLUELESS!
Such a sad loss. Gone way too soon.
Ive always liked Charlie. He sings with a lot of soul. Kenny is Kenny. He will always be in the middle of mainstream country.I believe some artists dont need and maybe dont want the constant glare of the spotlight. Great music will always shine.
RIP Charlie. This will forever be a favorite.
Sounds truly amazing from here in the Highlands of Scotland.
When I first heard this song I was visiting my sister in El Paso Texas sweet memories
My favorite out of them all. If you haven't heard, Charlie recently posted on fb he can't sing anymore due to surgery complications. My husband and I have been to countless shows. I feel for the guy and I sure wish seeing him in person. We have to keep his music going . There's no one like him.
Can't believe we lost the songwriter and the singer the same year. RIP, Keith and Charlie.
Thanks for the lifetime memories. Rest easy
Solid definitely one of his best can’t stop listening…… all night long
Charlie Robison OWNS this tune. Kenny did a good job, but Charlie is the master.
No Keith Gattis owns it. He just let Charlie and Kenny sing it!
Crying right now and can't believe he's gone we just saw him in April in Georgetown 😢
Rest Easy Charlie... gone far too young at 59. Great singer & songwriter... 💔
RIP Charlie!! You gave the world so much!
I heard this song 20 years ago and just found that Charlie sang it. Dam good song
I Love and miss Texas music so much... It can't be beat....
Great song 🎵 Always a go to favorite ❤
no one can sing your song as good as you . Love you Charlie
MYGOD this is wonderful !!!!
This is a p this is a b
RIP Charlie. Love this song.
This song gives me feels. Heartbreak. Promise.
Suck it Chesney. This is the version.
Like all three versions. Kenny’s with Grace Potter doing the harmony also very good.
Kenny sings a good cover
Why suck it ofcourse Charlie's is impeccable but KC cover is really good too I can see if you sang it saying that
KC version can’t sniff this with a ten foot pole!
You made real art right here............RIP...
Rest in peace charlie fly high
