![Steve Earle - "Goodbye" [Live from Austin, TX]](/img/tr.png)
have been a Steve Earle devotee for over 20 yrs, we grew up 40 miles from each other in Texas, as recovering addict, i thank God for giving him another chance at life...incredible....
This is the most honest, most true, most heatbreakingly beautiful song I have ever heard
Really. And Steve never offered a pat on the back $$ for my authority.
Actually also, authorship is truer
No permission to use this from my portfolio was offered
True !
This song has given me some of the finest memories of my life. My father introduced me to Steve Earle, We watched this video clip together many times. He has been gone nine years now. Ironic...."Goodbye"
That's call soul baby. Singing from the depths of his old soul.
I revisit this so many times, a beautiful, haunting and lyrical 'goodbye.'
My favourite Steve song by far. He's helping me with a project to have a guitar built to honour American Vietnam Veterans.
OMG, this has got to be one of my favourite songs ever. And this is an achingly beautiful version of it. Thanks for uploading it.
I know Steve wrote this for his ex wife, Teresa, but it feels like my ex wrote it for me too. Our situation completely. I cry every time I hear this song. Sad beyond belief....
+sophie toronto feel the same..
Well has been married 7 times or something? Goodbyes all we got left to say was on the guitar town album another classic track.
Saw Steve Earle some years back, hearing this song again brought me to tears..
thank you
Truly one of his very best songs. What a voice he has eh, brilliant!
Holy Lord, this guy is amazing...
Wow, this guy never fails to impress me with his real life feel and powerful simple lines.
Lord. I could listen to this song over and over again. Steve knows how to write and sing absolute killer songs.
I do listen over and over. But only this performance.
This is absolutely best version of this tune
I like it better than the live version with Emmylou singing
And I Love Emmylou
I agree! I have the same feeling. Hard to explain but i’ts wonderful.
Beautiful song,awesome performance..
A simply incredible song, so powerful.
met steve a few years back in asbury park NJ anyway i asked him what was the best song he ever wrote he then walked away to get on his tour bus turned around and said goodbye, i said yes but whats the best song youve wrote then i realised said cool later steve, brilliant song !!!!
+jason wallace I met Steve Earl twice in Memphis. One time I told him I was his biggest fan, he replied and said "no your not". 'I have a fan that almost 7 foot tall". That was great.
i saw him in Santa Fe a few years back, seconds after the show ended, i darted out the back of the venue to try and beat the crowd (messed up parking lot) - and i saw Steve doing his impression of jogging to his tour bus so he wouldn't have to chat with everyone - I yelled out "Hey Steve, can i come over and say "hi" and he's like, "yeah, but you better hurry up". I guess you had to be there,,,LOL. It was really funny.
@@scottstevens3213 I met him in the early 2000's. I asked him for an autograph for my mom who just had surgery. He asked if I was going to the show that night, and I said I was a poor students and my mom was the bigger fan. He gave me and my ex free front row tickets to the sold out show. His manager came up to us afterwards with some picks and stuff and asked if we enjoyed the show. I have been a huge fan since. Really nice genuine guy.
for me, seeing the Austin City Limits tribute to Townes Van Zandt, when Steve sings 'Ft. Worth Blues' and Nanci Griffith is sitting next to him on the stage with tears streaming down her face is the most amazing for me knowing how Townes was his hero as well as friend. That one is on my top nine favorites I believe. This one is quite heartrending, the duet version with Emmylou of course being superior because of their combined skills and experiences being on the same wavelength.
One of my favorites
I got tears in my eyes everytime I hear this tune....
I start welling up at the first few notes/chords of this song! :(
This guy is just so underrated it's disgusting. "Talent" wise? There are few that can touch him. It's kinda sad how drugs & prison messed up his career. There was a time (the 80's) he was poised as the new of "Bruce Springsteen". Critics praised him (Copperhead Road) & expected huge success for him. In any event, he is just utterly & phenomenally magnificent. Maybe he didn't achieve the anticipated success, but he still has a loyal following. Wish he'd come to town. I'de love 2 see him.
This is one of the few songs that makes me cry...
This is really wonderful, thank you so much for sharing it! I've listened to it about a hundred times, & I never get tired of it.
আমরা বিদায় বলেছি কিনা মনে করতে পারছি না ........💕✌️
Lyrics:
I remember holdin' on to you
All them long and lonely nights I put you through
Somewhere in there, I'm sure I made you cry
But I can't remember if we said goodbye
But I recall all of them nights down in Mexico
One place I may never go in my life again
Was I just off somewhere or just too high
But I can't remember if we said goodbye
I only miss you every now and then
Like the soft breeze blowin' up from the Caribbean
Most November I break down and cry
Cause I can't remember if we said goodbye
But I recall all of them nights down in Mexico
One place I will never go in my life again
Was I just off somewhere or just too high
But I can't remember if we said goodbye
No, I can't remember if we said goodbye
Goodbye goodbye
Some songs reach into your soul. This is one.
Steve was my Dad's favorite singer. After we lost my mom this year, this song just tears me up apart every time.
I thought I was long over the breakup with my fourth wife, but the first time I heard Steve perform this and he got to "Most Novembers . . . " I cried and cried and cried . . . like a water main in my heart just burst.
+Eric Lose Hey Eric, ...the Lord is near to the brokenhearted...& saves those..who are contrite...in spirit! It's a great song tho'!
+Eric Lose Only thumbs down because of your pain :( Take care
FOURTH? No wonder you cried. lol
Hope you are doing better man. Its been 4 years since my divorce and i listen to this and cry. We got married in november so I understand your pain
The Tears are running !!
One greatest song but sad tear me up inside I hear this song. This song goes out my dad mom because I never got say goodbye. Last years. 2014. I miss her storys about the past.
very powerful comment. I share the same sentiment. Hope you're doing well in 2017
I don't think they gathered the best songwriters of his generation yet, but when the time comes I'm sure he will be there in the top together with all his friends. Until then we just need to spread the word!
He's great and I'm think that when he sings "I recall all those nights in Mexico" Mexico is just a metaphor for any place that you loved with someone and can't go back to that place again. I feel it can be anyplace that was special to you and lost. Love you Steve great song.
You're right
***** I don't think it is just a metaphor - If you read the biography of Steve by St. John, Steve spent time in Mexico doing a lot of drugs and partying. I do think it is a metaphor, though for those kinds of places we get lost rather than the good times we can't regain. Maybe it is both. The song is certainly about loss and regret.
Kinda a "hiraeth" of sorts - - people and place you can never return to, a yearning that hits too deep for tears most days...Peace.
It's from his best CD ever -- period. Amazing collection.
A masterpiece of music
one of the last great troubadours. what a song, so brave, the way it stares into the void of regret. nostalgia without sentimentality, just grief, still raw after all these years.
@tailesill4 so very true, that! This song makes me miss my ex so much. Even after all these years. I dont know if its him i miss or just who we were back then. Leaving him was probably the smartest thing i ever did, and it was also the stupidest.
John Prine, Guy Clark, Steve Earle, Todd Snider...that's all I need.
Thanks for the other names to look up if they are of ol Steve Earl's caliber mist be good.
@@nikkilynn1337 You can also add; Robert Earl Keen, Slaid Cleaves, and Townes Van Zant
when addiction takes over and kills a relationship
@Mouldytone In this video, Steve is playing a Gibson Roy Smeck model...which is a 12 fret guitar based on their Jumbo body. The Roy Smeck model was originally a lap/Hawaiin guitar with no frets...and one of Jackson Browne's favorite guitars. Santa Cruz guitars built Steve a replica of the 12 fret, slot head D-18S, which you may have seen. I've had the opportunity to speak guitars with Steve Earle on a couple occasions...but it's still his writing that amazes me.
This song sounds just like something John Prine would play/sing.
What a high compliment!
Very similar chord shapes to Clay pigeons the John Prine covered
@@pjs-1287 Which was written by another Texas singer-songwriter (Blaze Foley). ;)
What really annoys the hell out of me, is how real talent like this, is so totally under appreciated today. I mean, why this man, isn't a mega-super star is totally beyond me. What passes for "Super Stars" today is an utter joke. Doesn't anybody appreciate real music anymore? Well, obviously some (but not enough) of us do. I think it's partly to blame on schools for cutting music & band,etc out of the curriculum to make room for homosexual sensitivity & anti-religion training/indoctrination.
I have to give him credit for creating the song in the first place, but Emmylou Harris does an amazing version of this on her album "Wrecking Ball".
STEVE EARLE ROCKS--finally got to see him in Bethel, NY Sep 29, 2012 at the Bethel Woods Museum (where the legendary Woodstock Festival was held in August 1969. Got to meet him too!--and honestly--that's where I first heard this song for the very first time and I wondered why I hadn't heard it before--I have many Steve Earle CD's but I missed this one--he is an American music treasure and nice guy
I would have loved to see him up there.
He played in the indoor museum, or outdoors in the amphitheater??
Not to poke fun at either of them, but tell me that here, Steve Earle doesn't kinda look a little like, or at least partially remind you of...........an overweight Joaquin Phoenix? hehehe. Again, NO disrespect is meant towards either of them. Steve is an astounding musician, and Phoenix is (or was, he quit, right?) a great actor.
Tell me, & be honest, doesn't he kinda resemble Joaquin Phoenix in the movie, "Walk the Line", a little bit? Steve is a little heavier of course, but anyway, I just see a kind of resemblance. & it's not just the black shirt & guitar.
Great song. Great performance. Steve has had his battles over the years. Which gives him the scars to write and perform good music. I've seen comments about his politics. People have to remember that most musicians have a different view of things and that's ok. I like rebels. Rebels in thought, rebels in music, rebels in life. To be American is to be a rebel. And, yes performers fall to all sorts of vices just like everyone else does.
Could some knowledgeable soul say where/when this performance happened? It's my favourite rendition of this song.
Hello. Pleased that you enjoy this performance. The concert info is under the clip screen. You may have to click "show more" to see it on your screen. There are some links and this Info (in case you have trouble accessing it). "Recorded Oct 1998. Sessions At West 54th. Show also featured The Del McCoury Band.

@gjc82071 i'm sorry but I take offense to what you said about homosexual sensitivity (what does that even mean?) As a gay man I love LOVE LOVE music,that is my life and this song as an addict and alcoholic touches my heart so,If me as a human being can FEEL songs and beautiful music then what are you refering to? I know music trust me....so please use your words wisely you dont speak for everyone. This song makes me cry for some reason,let me enjoy it .
@n1ckj2m3s
You have a lot of great music to discover! Steve is one of the best we have today.
@schwarav
Nah, it is cool if that what brought someone to Steve for the first time. But toolish if their interest in his music stops there... and for going on about the show. (The worst are the folks who quote Big Lebowski incessantly on the video for Townes' Dead Flowers cover.)
hot darn it..i wanna freaking learn this song in my guitar....i hate being a damn beginner at playing guitars..everything is still..."complicated"..i'll get there though..i just need to tackle smaller songs first
great comment...not questioning it's intent or origin...but please explain why this is a MEN (shot through the heart song) .. because a man sang it? I'm a beginning song writer, want to understand the genesis of such songs -
So handsome here ! Love the song, his voice and the music ..the way he plays the guitar !!!❤💃🙏
He's like dressed up ! Awesome
fantastic song and fantasticly performed but i hate the way he sings all the lines really early, earlier than they're ment to be. it takes the effect away from the song because its a brilliant song
i loved emmylou's version of this song, but i didn't realize that steve earle wrote it. i'm afraid i came to his talent rather late...he wrote God is God for joan baez, and that is a great song.
Steve himself gave that title to Townes Van Zandt. He said he'd stand on Bob Dylan's coffee table and say it to his face.
I have to wedge John Prine in that songwriter list, too ...
The oversight was not intentional.One might even have hearkened back to such influences as Guthrie or W.C.Handy in the interest of full inclusion.I had in mind,brevity.
@Mouldytone Yes, most of the Smeck's you see these days are the re-issues. Many of the originals have been converted from Hawaiian guitars to fretted instruments...and many didn't survive the transition. The re-issues are okay, but don't hold a candle to the original pre-war models. I've played quite a few originals...and built some replicas myself.
I'd forgotten about the guitar John Dillon built, thanks.
yeah how dare he share an interesting piece of trivia on youtube. if you tell everyone off for doing that the letters will wear off on your keyboard...
@lacienega999 How can the verses be played "earlier than they're ment to be" if he wrote the song? This is not criticism, merely a question.
j vant to say goodbye to al kindly people on earth.. and freands ......thanks steve you get me vords,,, Huggs from my souls... ;)
In October when your birthday came
i made you a cake and i wondered
if i screamed loud enough, begged,, cried
that you might come back
even for just a minute
but you didnt
and every day is a new day
that i have to let you go.
RIP Jake
+Brittannia Moon aww..all the best to you.life is hard..
+Brittannia Moon This just broke my heart! :-(
this was a piece of a longer write I did.
Jake was just 24 years old. We lost him to an accidental overdose of xaanax and alcohol. he went to sleep and never woke up.
He was ,my sons best friend and a son of my heart.
heal
I mean I want you to heal... God bless
Hauntingly beautiful. This got into my head a few days ago, difficult to get out again.
If I could never listen to music again except for two artists, it'd be this guy and Christian Kane. Cannot get enough of either of ma hardcore troubadours.
Good grief!!! That was awesome!!!
Incredible song disappointing performance doesn’t give the song its full value
Goodbye, Fort Worth Blues,
My Old Friend the Blues my Steve Earle top 3.
Fort Worth Blues is a great, beautiful, and fitting elegy to his pal and 'mentor', Townes Van Zandt. :)
Thanks Mould - great answer. If you were goung to suggest a begginer guitar what would it be?
One of my favorites!
@schwarav Maybe it's not the journey that matters, but the destination. Judge not, lest ye be judged.
@iljaster
I suspect that sliver of hope it might also have something to do with why Steve got clean and Townes didn't... though there is not really a lot of hope on The Hard Way, when Steve was nearing his bottom. His most recent album is very hopeful.
Most are AMAZED that Townes even made it to 52, given the way he lived. :(
@DSIXSIXSIX
Guess thats what differs him from Townes... Nothing wrong with that, just a thought.
He looks like my ol' baseball coach from the 70s who drank and swore to much around kids.
gotta love the drooling imbecile stare @ 00:24. that being said, i love steve
One of the best at least. I think having to keep up with the McCoury boys on this tour pushed Steve to be his best.
Goodbye
i was 15 when this album came out in 95 i knew it was his 'comeback' cd. i was at first, disappointed when it was all acoustic. but turned out to be one of my all time favorite albums.. this happens to be my favorite song off the cd. this guy is a genius. took the music world too long to finally take this man serious. saw him twice in concert, met him too. he spelled my name wrong lol steve rocks always
Great . but I think that the duet with Emmylou Harris is the best!
I wonder how many men are shot through the heart by this song...
Sending Riggins to jail.Goodbye Friday night lights.Steve Earle
The word legend is bandied around a lot but Steve is the real deal
What an awesome comment. I've loved this song since I first heard. Glad I found this site, just to hear it again.
Steve with hair!
Clean hair. Clean as in no drugs too.
fantastic song by a fantastic songwriter....and a pretty damn good musician...hats off Steve!
Sorry to all, had a couple of typos in the comment I made.
Gorgeous rendition of a gorgeous song. Thanks for posting it! BTW why did the version with Steve and Emmylou get pulled? That one was even better - I'd love to see it back!
The only where they were sitting on stage and Patty Griffin was wiping away tears. I used to sit and watch that, with tears running down my face,
Amazing!
you said it. steve is one of the best ever.
Any idea where we could find the version they used?
When the harmonica hits, it hits hard.
Can anyone tell what Steve Earle CD this is on?
Goodbye Andy. xo
Very Bob Dylan-ish, love it.
nah, Townes Van Zandt-ish, Steve's idol.
just brutally honest ,when you're a little older, looking back and miss the one...............
Good
Great, just great! Love the music, love the singer..
I saw steve earl after a concert in Nashville and I hollered at him whats your favorite song? he replied Goodby, and I shouted again but whats your favorite....
Michael Weaver loll
my favorite steve like u doing it with emmy you compliment each other such beautiful words x
awesome! such feeling!
such talent...love ya, Steve! Love this song!
Love how he incorporates TVZ's If I Needed You in there.
I DIDN'T MEAN ARRESTED ARRESTED SORRY ❤
