My jaw dropped and everything else melted away when i heard this for the first time. The atmosphere of it instantly consumed me. Beautiful and foreboding. Nick Cave seems to have repeatedly reaped the rewards of Townes pioneering work.
Another perfect example of undeniable talent not meaning financial success …..Townes is better than 50% of what you hear on classic rock/country radio 🤨
He's widely adored by fans of more.... eh.... Niche music. Like, if you ask a metalhead, or a punk, or whatever if there's any country or folk they love, Townes is sure to be one of the most common responses (as well as Hoyt Axton.)
If you ever see this song or comment know that your part of the world that's meant to stay if it were put to the test, seeking out this songs proves your still of normal consciousness and not a complete momo, hopefully RUclips last long enough people even past me grandkids could see this and hopefully people will still seek this but if you find it God bless you and cherish all small things for those are tye real important things not the TV or phones or bong rips that let you pass tye time to tye inevitable, even tho bongrips enhance the experience just all in moderation, still God bless ya and have a wonderful journey
I don't have children yet but when I do I will make sure to introduce them to real music and hopefully they will do the same for their children. Townes' poetry should live on
Very well said... Check out his spooky and brilliant song "Snow Don't Fall"... Peace and wisdom, seek timeless truth and strive for the light eternal 🌄
I've noticed that one of the many musicians inspired by Van Zandt is Nick Cave. Cave's Where the Wild Roses Grow sounds like this song, even both of the lyrics have the same vibe.
Terror folk Like poe kinda But deeper evil So original and Terribly beautiful Another one of his hidden gems That seem to go on and on Just like my own The beaverbrnd witch If one cares to believe me I too have a fable Of
My favorite kind of folk / country music is the kind that’s eerie and haunting like this. Ghost stories, murder ballads, and dark fairy tales.
You got any songs/albums/artists you recommend? I'm trying to find more music like this
@@mrbushwookie6051 Check out the album "Built With Bones" by Christian Williams, and "Sackcloth & Ashes" by 16 Horsepower.
@@mrbushwookie6051the ghost of Eli red crow by Nashville blue grass band but it’s real had to find…
That pretty accurately describes "Saint John the Gambler".
Genius is often overlooked when it’s not in the mainstream…especially in music

Townes is better than 99.999% of what you hear on classic radio.😃

It’s kinda sad that one of the best songs, of the best songwriter who ever lived, has only 77k views in 4 years.

a beautiful folk country poem about the beauty of life, nature, and love. So eerie it cuts at your soul
Some of his greatest poetry.

What a beautiful song by a master song writer.
🤙🤙💚💚✌️✌️
This is one of the best Classic style Country songs I have heard.
I came upon his music thanks to Colter Wall, & so far I havent heard a bad song by him. What an artist.
check out blaze Foley, sturgill Simpson, Sierra Ferrell and lost dog street band if ya haven't
TVZ was one of the greatest songwriters ever. In the Top 5. I was lucky to see him live a few times back in the 80's
@@kellymiller3432 Blaze Foley, TVZ, John Prine. All are amazing.
Incredible song…totally mesmerising

I love the term terror folk! Very cool!
Remember County music from before the bootlickers took it over? Peperidge Farm remembers.
the sun will rise soon on the false and the fair
This would go well in the new new scoresese film , the killing of flower moon.
Her Hair turns into splitters. WOW
I think it's splinters. Still a great song.
@@Smokinglocal420 obviously what they meant lol
I think they meant Splitters bro.
Dax Riggs does a fantastic version of this song
Omg. I'm going to go find that version. I had no idea. Dax Riggs is great.
