When I met my beautiful wife 40 years ago she said( let’s make a home, teach our children, pick peaches, let them find Jesus on their own....she loved John and she turned me on to his music, I love all of it....she passed away a few years ago, I pray that God gives her a ringside seat to hear John play there in heaven...
I’m a punk rocker but when my mom put this song on in the car when I was a teenager, it was my first time listening to it and I couldn’t resist the tears. This song is relevant no matter if it’s about war or discrimination or just people of power ignoring others for their own political gain.
I wish for more people like you, John. Your values, perspectives and acceptance have the power to move people to a different space without using hate. Hope... Evolution...Love...thank you.
@julieolen - "not45" as was. [i'll never forgive (now)treason-slug for murdering John Prine bc he faithfully nursed his wife, as a man does. Never, if it costs me Heaven.
I love the utter honesty and integrity that bleed through every line, whether he's singing a love song, articulating the problems of evil, or just making a musical witticism.
When I was 3-7 years old my dad and I would listen to john Prime all the time. I'm now 16 and haven't listened to him in years and at 11:30 pm was listening to colter walls version of the speed of the sound if loneliness and decided to listen to some john Prime and I'm glad to say it makes me just as happy as he did over 10 years ago
My friend gave me this album about two months after a bad break up. I was on my way to Mississippi to help with the aftermath of Katrina. He said it's good traveling music. Oh boy did he say a mouthful there. This is (in my opinion) one of the best albums ever made. Buy any artist. I was given more than just an album. I was given a lifelong hero.
Boy was his mouthful such a mysteriously sent blessing !!! My mom forced us to sing his songs on long car rides(no music-just us) and now I wouldn’t trade it for the world!
@@tymewaisanen Your mom is top notch!! I can sing em with ya now. Word for word. In Spite of Ourselves. Is my all time favorite. Well that and the WHOLE Fair and Square album. GONNA BE A LONG MONDAY.
Yes but the American dream has changed it used to be to have a good job and a nice home and a nice car and to be happy and healthy but now the American dream is just to be RICH
@@tomthorpe5393 Now don't put everyone in the same catagory .. don't generalize. John Prine worked as a Maywood mailman where he'd spill ketchup in his mail truck on the Time magazines he wasn't supposed to be reading - at lunchtime. I used to work in the next town over (just about), La Grange. John only left the post office because he heard another calling and more money, in singing. Doesn't make him bad. Just smart, and he began doing some he loved. Although he said he would've stayed at the post office. he liked that too.
On the Tree of Forgiveness John writes about God's boundless love. As we all try to make sense of John's death, I hope he knows that we all have boundless love for him and his music.
I learned about John from my brother in 1978. Him and Bonnie were touring the country all the time then playing smaller venues. Met them both at the hotel in KC. Bonnie before the show; John after the show. Got their autographs on a couple of albums. John let us buy him a beer. Most down- to- earth dude ever!!
I read online just today about John Prine, in stable condition from this horrible Covid19 virus. I came to RUclips to hear his music. Wow!!! With happy tears and sad tears falling down my cheeks, I listened, in awe of his music. His voice, lyrics and deep soulfulness blows me away. Praying for you Mr. Prine. You touched so many hearts, and today, I'm thankful that you touched mine. 💖 Peace and Love.
i would like persons with power in this wold to learn from John Prine, (and let us all learn from him as well, )but unfotunately not many enough do so. We`ve had war and have wars and destructions in our time. As the composer and songwriter Evert Taube (swedish) said and wrote in a song : " It is war and politics which is destroying our world,"
“Have you ever noticed when you’re feeling really good, there’s always a pigeon that’ll come shit on your hood.” Sounds like the last four years…the same pigeon, over and over.
My now husband introduced me to John Prines music when we were dating 14 years ago. I loved his music immediately. His music tells a story that I think most of us have either been through,thought about or know someone who has. I just love John Prine.
(Rob Tannenbaum, NY Times): At seven minutes and three seconds, this track from “Fair and Square” is the longest song on any of his studio albums. A cloud of slide guitar keeps this soft waltz afloat and allows Prine to express his disapproval of, if not contempt for, so-called humans who lack empathy for others. There’s a couplet that is clearly about George W. Bush, and Prine noticed that some audience members were surprised by it. “I never tried to rub it in anybody’s face, but I thought it was pretty clear that I wasn’t a closet Republican,” he told the Houston Press.
Hey Ty, he sang this song for all of these poor people with no heart,some of them gave a thumbs down. Mr Prine will be in our hearts forever. I hope you make it out of this buddy.
I'm so glad I found your Music on RUclips Last week, but at the same time ,I'm so sad it took this long ,I'm 58 years old and love all kind's of music ,but your Music is simply Beautiful ,it's never to late to fall in love with music again ,thank you .hope your feeling better God Bless MR Prine .
Can I recommend "John Prine; House of Strombo" to you? It was a house concert at the home of Canadian TV personality George S. ( it's about 15 letters long ) . It's a wonderful, intimate show from Christmas, 2018 ( I think ), before an audience that includes some musicians Canadians would recognize, but also includes Canada's greatest singer songwriter ( with apologies to Neil Young and Leonard Cohen ) Gordon Lightfoot.
RIP John. Thanks for providing part of the soundtrack of my childhood, and for being the kind of guy who spoke truth to power. An irreplaceable talent, a survivor, and a genius.
Met john in the airport on the way to Nashville in 2007. Just a capital guy, small talk and respected his space, it was a honor and treat, been a fan from the early 80's . A true legend and classy guy. I will treasure our short vist , RIP little buddy, I will continue to pass on your music, the best of all time.😟
Played this song over and over when working under a horrible human being. Gleaned comfort and strength. The year was 2009, lots of layoffs and I couldn't just leave. Asked why I love sad songs, this comes to mind. Love you John!!! Don't leave us too soon.
A sad day yesterday the 7th of April 2020, John Prine passed away! R.I.P. John, you might have left us, but you didn't leave, your music will carry us on forever!
John puts words to the most toxic thoughts and somehow makes us calm down and deal with it, or laugh at it or be ok to go on. He was a gift from above.
Master John Prine, You're so much more than great for so very many of us. Thank you for sharing your music. It reminds us that were human. Godspeed John Prine until we hear you again. Peace and Peaches, Love and Respect! ~LancesBrenda
John, I miss knowing you are here on earth. I get your music and understand what you wanted to convey to us. I was looking forward to seeing you at Wolf Trap this summer. Instead, I will sit here and play your music with my heart open. Teach the angels some of your pure chords.
A little late but I am sure if there is a heaven John is in it. I was fortunate enough to see John with Steve Goodman and Joan Baez many years ago. Will always remember that show.
I was 19, in 1972, living in a small town in the mountains of BC and the song Donald and Lydia came onto CBC radio and I was blown away by the lyrics and his ability to narrate beauty into words.
RIP my Best New friend, just because you're gone does not mean your not in my life still, every morning I wake up I put your music on and my life is wonderful again, Thank you for that John, with all my love Kenny
I love you John Prine, more than words! Enchilada whole or otherwise you my friend have been a major highlight of my life, like swimming with dolphins in SanDiego, watching humpback whales in Hawaii& saving a lil bird that got stuck in traffic. You are the bees knees!
Love ya John get better soon! This song speaks great truth. Can't believe what some people do, like buying 200 rolls of toilet paper during a crisis......Hey! There are other people out there who have families and needs too! Just try being nice and help others.
I only just recently discovered John Prine's music and love it. I like listening to his music while painting in my studio. I just heard this song for the first time today, discovering more treasures as I browse youtube. Before corvid 19 came, I noticed he was planning a concert in Vancouver on June 6th, which is my wedding anniversary. I was thinking about how I would like to get tickets for the show. Sadly, covid 19 changed all our lives, all of our plans. The world has been shattered by coronavirus, so many have passed, and many more will yet. My heart goes out to all who have lost loved ones or whose loved ones are fighting for their lives, some sadly losing the battle. John Prine you are a beautiful soul, who wrote of things we can all relate to so well. Thank you for the music. My heart is with your family and friends in their devastating and tragic loss.
Some humans ain't human Some people ain't kind You open up their hearts And here's what you'll find A few frozen pizzas Some ice cubes with hair A broken popsicle You don't wanna go there Some humans ain't human Though they walk like we do They live and they breathe Just to turn your old screw They screw you when you're sleeping They try to screw you blind Some humans ain't human Some people ain't kind You might go to church You sit down in a pew Those humans who ain't human Could be sittin' right next to you They talk about your family They talk about your clothes When they don't know their own ass From their own elbows Jealousy and stupidity Don't equal harmony Jealousy and stupidity Don't equal harmony Have you ever noticed? When you're feeling really good There's always a pigeon That'll come shit on your hood Or you're feeling your freedom And the world's off your back Some cowboy from Texas Starts his own war in Iraq Some humans ain't human Some people ain't kind They lie through their teeth With their head up their behind You open up their hearts And here's what you'll find Some humans ain't human Some people ain't kind
He did his danged best to hang here...it was time to stop suffering! What he gave the world was "enough" and we will hold him in our hearts as long as we are able! "Please don't bury me Down in that cold, cold ground, No, Id rather have 'em cut me up And pass me all around" & btw, I was in a hotel room hanging out on the bed with John and a group friends doing just THAT annnnnnnnd I was there when the beginning of this song was born. I had said I would rather not be buried and we agreed that being cremated and sprinkled in a fat brick and divided up among our friends to "get off one last time". I always knew that was that was the moment that song came to be! MISS YOU JOHN
Sure to miss you ol’buddy, you’re sure to be taking that walk now, but I’m sure you won’t be walking alone, Jesus is right with ya! Thanks for sharing your talents!
To the 159 who gave this a thumbs down , you ain't human.
They matter less than a fly on the wall. Be a force for good, best as we can.❤
How is it possible not to like this brilliant song?
291
Too bad they took away the thumbs down button to save some hurt feelings
He got hate mail for this song. must have touched a lot of nerves. but thenpeople aint kind
When I met my beautiful wife 40 years ago she said( let’s make a home, teach our children, pick peaches, let them find Jesus on their own....she loved John and she turned me on to his music, I love all of it....she passed away a few years ago, I pray that God gives her a ringside seat to hear John play there in heaven...
I hope that for her too. She sounds so lovely.
Nancy Hooper thank you so much.
May God Bless you and your family
By now, he's probably gotten a trio together; Prine, Steve Goodman, and Hank Williams.
I have no doubt. Bless you.
For the 3 people that gave a thumbs down...this songs for you!
From Murphy NC. , they're up to 7 now. All these downvoters can suck John Prine's d**k, all at one time!
I agree, "As blank as a clowns eye "
There’s no cure for stupidity,you gotta be a special kind of brain dead to give this or any of John Prines poetry a thumbs down
@@Paul-repofirland No just lost.
@@markmauldin good one
I’m a punk rocker but when my mom put this song on in the car when I was a teenager, it was my first time listening to it and I couldn’t resist the tears. This song is relevant no matter if it’s about war or discrimination or just people of power ignoring others for their own political gain.
My man
Feeding my Alzheimer's babe watermelon..
This song has more relevance now, and for the past 10 years than anytime since WWII.
There is hardly a single politician in the west that's Human.
RIP John Prine. E .. John was the most human human .
Use this a beautiful man with a great soul Gold Rush set of better place excuse my grammar it's God Rest he's in a better place
Ironic with my words thank you for pay attention but he was much worth more than anything that I am recipes for leave my man
Don't ever do voice text I apologize he's my man I'll leave it at that
I wish for more people like you, John. Your values, perspectives and acceptance have the power to move people to a different space without using hate. Hope... Evolution...Love...thank you.
Ain't that the truth!
Jealousy and stupidity, don’t equal harmony. Amen John
Sad to hear of his passing today. This song is more valid today then ever.

@julieolen - "not45" as was. [i'll never forgive (now)treason-slug for murdering John Prine bc he faithfully nursed his wife, as a man does. Never, if it costs me Heaven.
Life won't be the same without John P. What an amazing man.
His music will live
He aint dead cause I still hear him inside my head !
AMEN TO THAT BROTHER KEITH !!!!
Keith, I have an almost non stop John Prine worm in my head, which is fine by me!
Debbe Hull Me too with an energizer power. 24/7
Right on. 👍🏼
@corrgis7083 did you go to the mental health too!? Because it will do that to you! PEACE! My name is Lewis Robert Burton Jr!
I love the utter honesty and integrity that bleed through every line, whether he's singing a love song, articulating the problems of evil, or just making a musical witticism.
I wonder how far into that 9 Mile long cigarette he is? RIP John!!!
he just blew out the match....
the rate he smoked them ...he's on his 5th one already ...bless him.
Hell Johns probably on his 4th or 5th one, by now. in between his illegal smile, whistle and fishin'. and dancing with his family!! god I miss him.
That all depends on how many cocktails came first
Of course all smiles are legal now!

RIP poet. You had a heart and soul that was what Humans were supposed to have.
Yes but the American dream has changed it used to be to have a good job and a nice home and a nice car and to be happy and healthy but now the American dream is just to be RICH

Gone today, one of the very best Humans of all times RIP John Prine

You will walk with us…always!

Rest In Peace John Prine. Your memory will be carried on through your songs. ❤️
Goodbye in there, John. You'll always be a part of our lives.

The world's gone crazy......MISS YOU JOHN!
Can ‘t help but to think he is still writing and am looking forward to hear his next one.

Good morning from Bristol VA, USA
@@olesneaker He sure did. Told us so in every song and lived it to the end
THEY SURE DO LIKE THE AMERICAN PRSIDENT TRUMP
I'm sorry you left us John, you were my favorite.
damn straight John some humans definitely ain't human
Especially during the current times, there seems to be a lot of people today that are no longer human. I say they are born without a soul.
My favorite song of his , so true ...
A little late but I am sure if there is a heaven John is in it. I was fortunate enough to see John with Steve Goodman and Joan Baez many years ago. Will always remember that show.
He sure tells it like it is sending love and positive energy for you to recover from this horrible virus from Canada 🇨🇦
What a wonderful and gifted man. My prayers are with you and your family.
I love and miss John Prime, he was the goat of all times 😭♥️😭♥️😭
Dear JP...please help us through this difficult time, with all your angel friends in heaven....miss you so much !

Gone way to soon, it’s so wrong that John would be taken. The world has lost a treasure.
Trumps covid :(
Saw John at the Mother Church a few years ago. The crowd started clamouring "Prine for President". He says no, I'm not the one. Then He played this.
Oh we miss you, John...
the greatest songwriter ever was or will be, i'm praying for you John
Everytime I think I have decided on my top 10 favorite John Prine songs 10 more come to mind.
Miss You John
Beautiful and true song ❤ Thank You John Prine
RIP my Best New friend, just because you're gone does not mean your not in my life still, every morning I wake up I put your music on and my life is wonderful again, Thank you for that John, with all my love Kenny
Thank you John Prine
Love You John❤
John was a very smart man and brilliant storyteller, the title of this song Some Humans Ain't Human and the truest words ever written down on paper.
Für mich einer der besten John Prine rest in peace😎
Rest in peace John, your memory will always be a blessing
I love you John Prine, more than words! Enchilada whole or otherwise you my friend have been a major highlight of my life, like swimming with dolphins in SanDiego, watching humpback whales in Hawaii& saving a lil bird that got stuck in traffic. You are the bees knees!
Who gives 55 thumbs down on John Prine? Some humans ain't human.
John had a special way of viewing the world , you may not like what he said, but it is true. and with the music it is ok anyway. God Bless John
Love ya John get better soon!
This song speaks great truth. Can't believe what some people do, like buying 200 rolls of toilet paper during a crisis......Hey! There are other people out there who have families and needs too! Just try being nice and help others.
Wonderfully put as always a great message! They try to screw you blind or push thumbs down button on talented artist like you. Love your work.
The only positive thing from the sad loss of JP is that I'm listening to his songs again. What a brilliant songwriter and a great artist.
praying for John during this pandemic... please pull through my friend
The music & melody is so sweet. I could listen to this non-stop. As usual, Jason’s solo riff is epic!)
RIP, John. And thanks for the music.

So many people I no. Are like this song cold an heartless
Some humans ain't human
Some people ain't kind
You open up their hearts
And here's what you'll find
A few frozen pizzas
Some ice cubes with hair
A broken popsicle
You don't wanna go there
Some humans ain't human
Though they walk like we do
They live and they breathe
Just to turn your old screw
They screw you when you're sleeping
They try to screw you blind
Some humans ain't human
Some people ain't kind
You might go to church
You sit down in a pew
Those humans who ain't human
Could be sittin' right next to you
They talk about your family
They talk about your clothes
When they don't know their own ass
From their own elbows
Jealousy and stupidity
Don't equal harmony
Jealousy and stupidity
Don't equal harmony
Have you ever noticed?
When you're feeling really good
There's always a pigeon
That'll come shit on your hood
Or you're feeling your freedom
And the world's off your back
Some cowboy from Texas
Starts his own war in Iraq
Some humans ain't human
Some people ain't kind
They lie through their teeth
With their head up their behind
You open up their hearts
And here's what you'll find
Some humans ain't human
Some people ain't kind

"Please don't bury me Down in that cold, cold ground, No, Id rather have 'em cut me up And pass me all around" & btw, I was in a hotel room hanging out on the bed with John and a group friends doing just THAT annnnnnnnd I was there when the beginning of this song was born. I had said I would rather not be buried and we agreed that being cremated and sprinkled in a fat brick and divided up among our friends to "get off one last time". I always knew that was that was the moment that song came to be! MISS YOU JOHN
Sure to miss you ol’buddy, you’re sure to be taking that walk now, but I’m sure you won’t be walking alone, Jesus is right with ya! Thanks for sharing your talents!
