The first years I had a cheap house where I could ride my motocross bikes to the end of the street and head out into the Mojave. I'd ride to the the top of these butttes, look down and watch herds of wild Mustanges loping along. Amazing how things change so rapidly .
I cannot get this song out of my head. We should all have someone love us this much! Even train wrecks have redeeming qualities. We should have the patience to search for them.
Absolutely. Married my beautiful wreck. 15 years ago. Our only child is almost 14 now. She's as beautiful as her ma. I'm the rough son of a bitch who love them both. Damn song's gospel!!
Exactly. The music industry is political poison, so we have to learn to support Shawn and other artists withOUT making the rich get richer. Getting 10 friends to chip in for that virtual house party during this pandemic is one way I plan to support him🤍 check it out on his website!! Very cool
Shawn Mullins is an amazing singer songwriter.......this is one of my favorites.......reminds me of someone special in my life. One of my absolute favorite songs.......
I've been a fan of Shawns since the 1st time I heard shimmer. He belongs in that rare breed we call 'story tellers'. Instead of labeling 'rock' or 'country' I just go with the description male vocal. Anybody who likes shawn should try Marc Coen. Another great male vocalist.
of all of shawn's songs throughout his career this one i thought was blatantly country the first time i heard it. not like it matters because of how much i love the man. got to meet him once but i'd waited 7 years to see him in concert and i was totally speechless!
My dad originally showed me this song and I love it. It struck some truth in me. I'm addicted to this song! I love it! Thanks so much Shawn for helping to fill our world with good music! ~lici
I feel sorry for the man who never had a woman this song epitomizes; gotta Love her, all the while knowing it isn't going to last and it isn't going going end well! " When you go too far. Beautiful Wreck you are!" You've never really been in Love!
It's too bad all the fuck anyone cares about today is crappy ass R&B music with Auto tune and drum machines when there's good music like this still to listen to and be made.
Gee, Actually I am old., really. And this is the best song that I have gotten into in such a long time. Shawn's voice is so so something to cherish. woW!
i lost count of the times ive given up on you,but you make such a beautiful wreck you do..........genius lyrics.....go glen phillips and shawn!!!!!!!!come back to the loft....columbus , ga soon!!!!
personally, i am glad shawn isnt a big name singer. i hate to think what the media vultures would do to him. look at the "singers" like winehouse etc... every second magazine has their latest drug problems/boob jobs/boy/girlfriend breakups and hookups. i am glad that shawn isnt subjected to that. keep it up, shawn. as long as you produce cds, i will continue to buy them. literally the only cds i will hunt down to own physical copies of... every other artist i like, i go itunes.
One year ago the person who linked me to this song , was told he had stage 4 lung cancer , he’s still here , and pretty much a miracle ❤️ We are not together for a long time , but I know in his heart and mine I will always be his beautiful wreck , Will always luv you TM SJBEB
You don't meet stars on the red floor or in hollywood. Bars and Pubs are the areas where you meet them. Real Artists don't care about career- they live their music ♥ And of course their like diamonds really rare and at places you wouldn't expect :)
Shawn is too good not to be recognized...I love him and listen to him so very much...what is wrong with those people that can't do the same.....listen to public radio and independent radio... Find the best of the best....thumbs down to commercial radio!!!!!!
Oh, I'm just going to HAVE to borrow "persqueeter" some time!!! If I didn't have a bad back (I'm an Old, grateful to have been around when music sounded like MUSIC), I'd literally be ROTFL right now. LOLOL Thanks for the chuckle!
@shumirules1 Songwriters like Shawn Mullins don't need "Fame", they are happy with achieving what they do. Which is reaching the audience he does and just getting his message past. I think Shawn is probably one of the most underrated artists out there, with that said.
This underrated gem is on repeat. 💖 Listening in 2024~
Blessings be to you friend.
Glad you found it! Fantastic meaningful song
Why on earth wasn't this a huge hit?
Way underrated!
Because he doesn’t look like Justin Beiber…..sex sells…..it’s a shame because this song is beautiful.
The first years I had a cheap house where I could ride my motocross bikes to the end of the street and head out into the Mojave. I'd ride to the the top of these butttes, look down and watch herds of wild Mustanges loping along.
Amazing how things change so rapidly .
Battle scars are considered sexy in some quarters.
Shawn is underrated. Very talented singer/songwriter.
I cannot get this song out of my head. We should all have someone love us this much! Even train wrecks have redeeming qualities. We should have the patience to search for them.
been a fan of shawn since the early 2000
good music like this should be headlining music festivals instead of untalented disney stars and pop divas
My sister lost her fight and passed this week, I'm going to play this at her memorial. Beautiful inside and out but those demons...
I'm so sorry for your loss. 😢
texaskidzuk thank you
Im so sorry for your loss
I fight every day for those that lost their fight
Sorry for you loss
Will be a timeless, legendary song. Beautifully crafted.
This guy has an amazing voice.
It's hard to watch someone who is beautiful inside or out, or both wreck their life and yours but you can't look away. You always have hope.
+Kathleen Kourie Don't I know it .......
Kathleen Kourie where there is life, there is hope
you are correct, sometimes you just need patience and time. Sometimes even that isn't enough.
Absolutely. Married my beautiful wreck. 15 years ago. Our only child is almost 14 now. She's as beautiful as her ma.
I'm the rough son of a bitch who love them both. Damn song's gospel!!
Very true it happened to me and no matter how much you love them you can't save them cuz they're in denial
LADY Ga Ga has 500 million you tube hits and this has only 361K...somethings wrong with the world!
Could not agree more
Exactly. The music industry is political poison, so we have to learn to support Shawn and other artists withOUT making the rich get richer. Getting 10 friends to chip in for that virtual house party during this pandemic is one way I plan to support him🤍 check it out on his website!! Very cool
WE know!
I love Lady gaga. don't talk shit on something you don't know.
Lyrical work of genius. A cautionary tale set to music for those of you who might fall into the quicksand of a bad relationship.
Agreed Sad and profound .
Wow- a cautionary tale is so true. I knew this was a beautiful song years ago. This year it hits me much harder.
A song that puts things in perspective. Bless you Shawn.
Fortunately I will see Mr. Mullins very soon in Indy....big long time fan....
first time caller.....
Love this song! Haven't we all known someone like this!
oh yeah we have!
Shawn Mullins is an amazing singer songwriter.......this is one of my favorites.......reminds me of someone special in my life. One of my absolute favorite songs.......

This is by far the best song in the world :)
Just saw Shawn sing this with Glen Phillips, who wrote the first two lines of the song. What an awesome song.
Still one of my 2-3 favourite songs of all time. Just have to be careful what I'm drinking when I listen to it.
great song. it has that 90's feel to it. nice...
Perfection! I've heard this on country, rock, AND pop radio stations!
I feel sorry for the man who never had a woman this song epitomizes; gotta Love her, all the while knowing it isn't going to last and it isn't going going end well! " When you go too far. Beautiful Wreck you are!" You've never really been in Love!
Amen
Amen
First heard this song 12/10/2005 at the Roseland Theater in Portland, OR, one of Shawn's best!
This song reminds me of my 1957 Karmann Ghia.
I love this song.
I don't know why I get choked up when I hear this..I guess I'm in love with a Beautiful Wreck m'self - great song
It's too bad all the fuck anyone cares about today is crappy ass R&B music with Auto tune and drum machines when there's good music like this still to listen to and be made.
This song/video just about defines the word "co-dependency".
And let's not overlook the quality of this music video--a perfect complement to this wonderful song!
I came I heard and I concur with most out here! Completely underrated this song is!
I have the same “crazy bïtçh” energy and I’m loving it.
I love this tune. Somebody post some more of Shawn!
You got a good point...Shawn is one of the best writers I have ever heard!!
Saw Shawn and met him at Acoustic Cafe in Bridgeport, CT. His music moves me. I thank Rich from AC for bringing him to CT those many years ago.
Gee, Actually I am old., really. And this is the best song that I have gotten into in such a long time. Shawn's voice is so so something to cherish. woW!
They wrote a song for me! How cool😂❤😅
He gets played on a station called WXRT in Chicago.
Too cold to garden with lilacs blooming. This is my mood.
He plays right thru my soul... I love his music...
A true artist and lyricist who very under rated! His songs convey such vivid imagery and allow a real connection for me.
i lost count of the times ive given up on you,but you make such a beautiful wreck you do..........genius lyrics.....go glen phillips and shawn!!!!!!!!come back to the loft....columbus , ga soon!!!!
god i love this song...
His music is terrific, but I like how he sings his lyrics. I'm planning to get a couple of his CDs.
Yep beautiful bloody poet keep up just texted a chapter erased lol great songs inspiration i think are like that movie always you got some
Such an underrated song
If you never had a woman like this in your life at least once you've missed a valuable life lesson.
Bigtime
Love this song ...so underrated wtf is wrong with people
I love you Mr Shanklin 💙🥀
You're my Always most beautiful wreck.
Damn he cleans up nice ;) and that voice still melts me!
I'm a beautiful wreck. Thanks, Shawn.
I love this song. I WILL play this one day at an open mic night in Austin Texas!
personally, i am glad shawn isnt a big name singer. i hate to think what the media vultures would do to him.
look at the "singers" like winehouse etc... every second magazine has their latest drug problems/boob jobs/boy/girlfriend breakups and hookups. i am glad that shawn isnt subjected to that.
keep it up, shawn. as long as you produce cds, i will continue to buy them. literally the only cds i will hunt down to own physical copies of... every other artist i like, i go itunes.
Best ever ❤
Thank you TM . I will always be your beautiful wreck .❤️
One year ago the person who linked me to this song , was told he had stage 4 lung cancer , he’s still here , and pretty much a miracle ❤️ We are not together for a long time , but I know in his heart and mine I will always be his beautiful wreck , Will always luv you TM SJBEB
Love this song! His music makes me happy. ;)
I love how he named the whole album after the recording studio in New Orleans where he recorded the album, Ninth Ward Pickin Parlor.
Way underated
OMG! Yeah, I totally agree. But maybe it's because I'm a wreck too. This is such an amazing song!
I agree 100% that todays r&b is crap but dude -to each his own music is about freedom don't ever forget that.
You don't meet stars on the red floor or in hollywood. Bars and Pubs are the areas where you meet them. Real Artists don't care about career- they live their music ♥
And of course their like diamonds really rare and at places you wouldn't expect :)
I adored his voice
Shawn is too good not to be recognized...I love him and listen to him so very much...what is wrong with those people that can't do the same.....listen to public radio and independent radio... Find the best of the best....thumbs down to commercial radio!!!!!!
I'll never give up !!
This song just defines codependence.
so great! i thought it was steve earle first time i heard it, genius song shawn!!!
I just love this song!
Does our God look upon us the same way? Beautiful even with our warts?
Shawn: Keep kicking it out man!
He's coming to Athens, Ga next week. Looking forward to hearing him in person.
one of those songs that just grabs ya and doesn't get old.

I heart this song! ^_^
this song rocks...
Oh, I'm just going to HAVE to borrow "persqueeter" some time!!! If I didn't have a bad back (I'm an Old, grateful to have been around when music sounded like MUSIC), I'd literally be ROTFL right now. LOLOL Thanks for the chuckle!
There's a Tavern on the corner called the Milky Way and you look so at home it makes me really afraid
I may have lost count , But I've never given up on you!
This song doesn't come on my radio anymore.
D:
XRT is a GREAT station.
I thnk that this guy shold be cloned and made available to everyone.
dang i dont even like country, but i digg this song heh heh heh
I’m just sitting here waiting on the passenger side for you to make up your mind !
angel hugs to Shawn
Sometimes it's wonderful to be tortured because the love is so cool be at the wreckage is colossal
Shawn i love u!!!!!
@shumirules1 Songwriters like Shawn Mullins don't need "Fame", they are happy with achieving what they do. Which is reaching the audience he does and just getting his message past. I think Shawn is probably one of the most underrated artists out there, with that said.
He will be at Acoustic Fest in Manitowoc, WI July 20th.
It's amazing how much I've come to identify with this song - especially with all the shit I've been showered in over the years. Good job, Shawn.
At the dark end of this Bar !
You're ass will be waiting forever on that passenger side too. We've all been there and yet we keep waiting again and again. Gotta love it.
I new lullaby. But Stephen King's Playlist brought me here. Damn good song.
Shawn - молодец!
