I'm 71. Sitting here, listening, thinking, shedding tears of days gone by. It's cloudy for me at this moment. I would love to be able to go back the start, one more time...
Without you the world wouldnt be the world. Remember that. This world could never have been what is has been without you. You and your life are an addition to the memories of joy, sadness and lessons to be learned in this life. To have had such an impact is an honor we all have. We just dont realize it until its too late. Make sure you tell them you love them and that all your sacrifices were worth it to see them become who they are now. To see the fruits of all of those long nights at work, all the days away from home, all the stress felt over bills and food money was all worth it.
Me too, but I like to think they still are. Think about it this way, you are made from half your dad and half your mom. They live as long as you do. Both my parents are gone, but I take comfort in that, and I believe I'll see them again on the otherside.
Just watched The Judge again, and needed to hear with Willie Nelson. Don’t understand the dislikes, honestly. It’s perfect! Lost my daddy in 2017, for a Pancreatic Cancer, and this movie was one of his favorites. I cried rivers watching it now. Oh God, I miss him so much!!! This song makes me cry every time I hear. Who else is here in 2021? March, 2021.
Heard this at the end of a movie back in 2012, my oldest was a few months old and he stopped and listened to the entire song. I immediately downloaded it to my phone(which ya can’t now in the us) I played this song whenever he was sleepy, upset, or sick. Then 2 years later I had his brother and he loved this song. We used to have to travel a lot for my husbands work and I’d have to drive at night by myself with a baby and a 2 year old I kept this sucker on repeat the whole 6/7/8/9 hr drives. My youngest is autistic and this song has gotten us though so much. Like right now he’s sick and he cokes lays next to me and asks for his song. We can only listen to it on RUclips and this video is his favorite. This song is his comfort song through hard times, overstimulation, thunder storms, sick times, and so much more. Willie covering this song created a major life changer for my family. 🤍
God bless you and your family. My wife and I are struggling with our autistic son. Just like the lyrics say “Nobody said it was easy” . Hope things get better for you ..there are families just like yours and I hope you can take comfort in that. May God give you the strength to continue. 🫡
Lost my son 18 yrs ago was with my daughters when we heard this song.We sat in the car and listened and cried.Lost one of my daughters 2 years ago and tonight I came across this version.My heat is broken but I was blessed to have them.God willing I will see them again.I love you Jeffy and Rachel FOREVER ~Ma
When Willie Nelson picks a song to cover he has impeccable taste! He knows the songs that will fit his voice like a glove. The original artists must have mixed emotions though - on one hand so honored to have a legend pick their work to perform, and on the other hand feeling like they just a child, because that song now belongs to Willie!
I absolutely agree! What an honor for Willie to pick a piece of someone’s art that he wanted to give it a go himself!!! I think it’s incredible. Artists and musicians have their own love language. Covering a song is a way of saying that I love your work. I don’t believe there’s a derogatory emotion in that at all. It’s a huge compliment to the original artists.
I lost my Dad to cancer 34 years ago and there are days where I reach for the phone wanting to share something. Crazy. Isn't it? How a song can take you back
Listening to this in 2023.. after hearing it for the first time in the credits of 'The Judge'! Crying my eyes out as I think about my broken relationship with my dad.. this song hits hard! 😢
I feel the same. I remember hearing it the first time. I was in Pittsburgh and it played on the radio. It captured my heart instantly. Years later, my divorce is final and the song brings me such peace. The story of life. The story of self ♥️
My dad has fought stage 4 prostate cancer for years now. Lived way past our expectations and every expectancy limit. He was diagnosed with ALS last week. It hurts.
I lost my girl a year ago. It was then we said our last goodbyes. The most beautiful girl in the world. Willie's voice is the most beautiful voice in the world. This song makes me cry. I miss her so much. Just saw Willie a week ago. Been going to him for 42 of my 44 years on this earth.
I fell I love withWillie in 1961 while recovering from Scarlett and rheumatic fever and on the weekend he would play at panther Hall, Fort Worth and yes Chris probably is very honored with Willies cover. Willie I am 63 survived a liver transplant and still will dream about hugging you. Sometimes when’s it really hard, I lays in my bed and get my head rite and crawl in your arms and you sing to me. I will always fantasize about this, not in a sexual way, He just has always been there for me. I own your first album and once in a blue moon I allow it to be spun, it has all your first and how I cherish this. I hope you are feeling good. When you can me to the Smoky Mountain area I will call me see ya
My dad made me listen to that whole damn song. And its all about personal preference, a song is good by what it means and a singer is good by how many people choose to listen. im one of the few who don't like this specific singer so don't listen to me.
Heard cold play on the radio yesterday and I just decided to look up your song Willie. Your songs have so much soul. I watched you at the State fair in Oregon probably in 1987? Also seen you in a second concert. Your songs were a part of my life. You are a legend,such beautiful music.
It's my dad's anniversary today 19 years without the best man on the planet 🌏 so blessed to be your bhoy rip Bobby this song just sums up the way I am feeling today
Visiting with my dad again. He hugged me, asked me if I was still in shape, looked in my eyes and said I still had the same attitude. He asked me if he girls were still chasing me. A fathers love.
I just sent this song to my 87 yr old father who lost his wife (my Mother) of 63 years. I lost her Sept 14th, 2021. Almost one year now. While she was on hospice the last year he had to give her breathing treatments every 5 hours and manage all her medications, cook for her, do the wash and clean the house as well as wait on her (constantly). He would just look at me and say " do you think it's easy". I never knew two people more in love and dedicated to each other than my Mother & my Father. He is lost without her and I can't even imagine the pain and loneliness in his soul. Hard part for me was that they live in Indiana and I in TX and I didn't get home in time to say goodbye and my Father is so far away from me. Best parents in the world. Love you both with all my heart & soul. Karen, your 1st born.
My husband of 19 years recently got an amazing promotion, which takes him away most of the year. This song plus my wine and whiskey are what gets me through my lonely days and nights.
I heard this as I was changing channels, and Willie's haunting voice and the mournful steel guitar, stopped me in my tracks! This song came into my life at the exactly perfect time.
It's like his voice is crying as he sings it, he sings this with a bleeding heart and u feel every word as it's meant to be felt. I always go back to the start at the beginning if I can't find my way out of some funks that I've been in and I always say I have to go back to the beginning and try again to see why im feeling this way. ..it works like he says it's amazing and it tears your heart out when he sings. Hail willie Nelson
I fell in love with Willie and music and his very athletic and beautiful different voice it's what separates him from all the others I was 15 I'm now 58 love you Willie fan 4 life
Lost my pops almost a year ago. Going tomorrow to see him for memorial day. This song brings a mix of happy tears. Thank you Willie. RIP SSGT John Bush 173rd Airborne
I came to this after watching The Judge and felt same way with what Hank Palmer felt when seeing his father passed away. My oldman is sick now and I'm feeling depressed of what's going to happen to him..
I remember talking to my late wife, complaining that the stars we dealt with had names like 18095+2704, and not something more poetic. Her face lit up, because she knew that star right away. She knew it.
Modern songwriters are just as manly and stoic as ever but the music sounds made them harder to take seriously at the time. Lonely cowboys are forever. Nobody said it was easy
Every cover these guys do, including Cash and Willie, all of ‘em. They show their true heart. I love these heroes of mine and I hope they shine greater than any light we have ever seen.
I'm 71. Sitting here, listening, thinking, shedding tears of days gone by.
It's cloudy for me at this moment. I would love to be able to go back the start, one more time...
Never! The BEST is yet to come!!
Not as old, but same effect I'm sure many others feel also brother..
Without you the world wouldnt be the world. Remember that. This world could never have been what is has been without you. You and your life are an addition to the memories of joy, sadness and lessons to be learned in this life. To have had such an impact is an honor we all have.

I hope you’re still hanging around and you’ve had some sunny days since commenting
He can sing anything.. people
It's been so long, mom. I really hope heaven is as beautiful as you are. 💧💔🙏😊
I wish my dad was still here.
Me too, but I like to think they still are. Think about it this way, you are made from half your dad and half your mom. They live as long as you do. Both my parents are gone, but I take comfort in that, and I believe I'll see them again on the otherside.
Me too
I know ❤
Gone but not forgotten 😢
Absolutely, Love you dad one day you'll hold me in your arms again 💕🥃🌊🔥🍻🍻
Just watched The Judge again, and needed to hear with Willie Nelson.
Don’t understand the dislikes, honestly.
It’s perfect!
Lost my daddy in 2017, for a Pancreatic Cancer, and this movie was one of his favorites. I cried rivers watching it now.
Oh God, I miss him so much!!!
This song makes me cry every time I hear.
Who else is here in 2021?
March, 2021.
OMG, I did too... sorry for your loss.
Willie’s voice is like an old worn record, wobbling on the turntable. Familiar and nostalgic. Perfect.
The Judge got me here. Lost my Father and this has calmed my sorrowful tears. Miss you Pop. Think of you always.
Such an underrated movie. Have watched it many times. Still brings tears to my eyes each time.
The Judge also got me here. Sorry for your loss. I also lost my dad.
Me too !
Such a great movie!
I come here over the years because it is my hearts song for my dear departed mother

was the movie The Judge?
it is the judge!

@@David-py4eb Yes, from a fellow Autism family, my daughter is 39, It's Life long
The movie is THE Judge with Robert Duval & Robert Duval. Just watched it for the first time😢

This cover beats the original, easily.
One word. WiLLIE
I lost my Dad to cancer 34 years ago and there are days where I reach for the phone wanting to share something. Crazy. Isn't it? How a song can take you back
Between Johnny Cash covering Hurt and Willie Nelson covering this, we need to make old country legends covering songs across genres a thing.
YES we do!!
Certainly.
Amen!! 💯💯💯
Better do it quickly.
Loretta Lynn does a great duet with Jack White from the White Stripes called Portland. More modern and up-tempo then this, but still on theme.
I imagine Willie doesn’t waste the last days of his life. He only sings what matters to him now.
To the love of my life if only i could go back to the start
💔 This is one of the most Beautiful covers I have ever heard Willie hit my Soul with this thank you Willie 💕 Love you my Brother 🎸🎶🎸🎶
Watched The Judges and immediately knew this was Willie. Never heard the Cold Play version til now. Willie owned this one. He made this his own song
Listening to this in 2023.. after hearing it for the first time in the credits of 'The Judge'! Crying my eyes out as I think about my broken relationship with my dad.. this song hits hard! 😢
One of the few covers that is so much better than the original.
I’ll say it again there’s nobody sings like Willie Nelson. Fantastic
Me and my dad had such a rough childhood. Im crying, but here I am, leaving him on read for months. I wish i could forgive him.
Forgive him, life will be better when you do. We never know our parents trials
Thank you for 17 years, honey. Best surprise of my life. Wish I could take your place. I miss you so badly.
This version of 'The Scientist' is undoubtedly one of my favourite songs in the world. Words fail me. Hauntingly beautiful!
I feel the same. I remember hearing it the first time. I was in Pittsburgh and it played on the radio. It captured my heart instantly. Years later, my divorce is final and the song brings me such peace. The story of life. The story of self ♥️
Perfectly said
"haunting" is the correct word.
This also has become my favorite song. Makes me think of my wife that passed away. RIP Jennifer Speer I Love You!!!
Love this🎉I heard it on a movie first time
Last night
The judge
Get it to watch!Some deep thinking here 🎉
the film "The Judge" brought me here. I love this song and i love this version!
Miss my dad …miss who I used to be
Hope I made you proud while you were here ..love you dad ..
Till we meet again ❤
My dad has fought stage 4 prostate cancer for years now. Lived way past our expectations and every expectancy limit. He was diagnosed with ALS last week. It hurts.
I’m so blessed to have had Willie Nelson playing in the background of my childhood
Hi Michelle 💐💐
This is one of the best recordings ever to exist.
I pray this video never leaves RUclips
I lost my girl a year ago. It was then we said our last goodbyes. The most beautiful girl in the world. Willie's voice is the most beautiful voice in the world. This song makes me cry. I miss her so much. Just saw Willie a week ago. Been going to him for 42 of my 44 years on this earth.
Feel you, I'm sorry you're hurting as much as I. Never thought it be this hard. But it is. Take care my friend
Ditto, my friend. I'm sharing this with her because I'm a hopeless romantic.
The Judge, Brought me here.....
Coldplay and Willie, they both have a different style and both are awesome!!!
I fell I love withWillie in 1961 while recovering from Scarlett and rheumatic fever and on the weekend he would play at panther Hall, Fort Worth and yes Chris probably is very honored with Willies cover. Willie I am 63 survived a liver transplant and still will dream about hugging you. Sometimes when’s it really hard, I lays in my bed and get my head rite and crawl in your arms and you sing to me.

I came here because of the judge...excellentmovie robert Downey Jr fan....love coldplay but love Mr Nelsons version!!!!
I lost my son March 10 2021. I hurt so bad and miss him so much.
This is the most beautiful version of this song ever made
Coldplay must feel so honored to have such a legend cover their song.
This "legend" sucks
His voice is like nails on a chalk board
@@xyler017 to each their own, but there's no need to be such an ass about it
Sorry that anger wasn't directed towards you personally my baf

Just absolute, beautiful, pain.
There is something beautiful about old men singing a young man's song.
It's my dad's anniversary today 19 years without the best man on the planet 🌏 so blessed to be your bhoy rip Bobby this song just sums up the way I am feeling today
The slide guitar bloody kills me. That is such a sad/beautiful instrument.
Visiting with my dad again.
He hugged me, asked me if I was still in shape, looked in my eyes and said I still had the same attitude.
He asked me if he girls were still chasing me.
A fathers love.
First time hearing this version. I love Willie Nelson, he done a fantastic job on this song.
The pain and the wisdom in his voice. You can feel it. That’s what makes it so special. Imperfectly perfect.
If Willie Nelson sings it: it's a great song.
I just sent this song to my 87 yr old father who lost his wife (my Mother) of 63 years. I lost her Sept 14th, 2021. Almost one year now.

Love you both with all my heart & soul.
Karen, your 1st born.
Just watched a movie called "the judge". Thanks to it, I found this amazing cover.
That is how I found this too. My Mom listened to Willie Nelson so I grew up listening to him.
Willie Nelson is the real thing - pure artistry and heart, zero pretense.
Hello, So sorry for the infringe on your privacy. Beautiful song. How are you?
@@davidholton9667 ciao David! 🙋♀️😍😘❤️🎄
No matter how many times I listen to this, It still stirs the body and the soul. The best cover!
@@marcosbryant8646ciao Marco!🙋😍😘💘🍀
Beautiful. Love this man.
This song reminds me of my mom. She passed 6 years today from cancer
My husband of 19 years recently got an amazing promotion, which takes him away most of the year. This song plus my wine and whiskey are what gets me through my lonely days and nights.
Ya know, we’re gonna have to lose this wonderful man at some point.
The singing hasn't even started yet and my eyes already sting.
Just lost my dad this song brings back emotions of my childhood and being from Texas growing up on Willy Nelson is just amazing
Listening to this for you tonight. You know who you are.
Great Job! I'd love this song.
This just hits different with Willie...
This song played at the end of a movie, the night my best date left me. It still brings me to tears, because it reminds me of 'us'.
Ron and Fez thank you for all the years of radio you will be missed,
Fuckin' Willie making me cry at 6:45 in the morning! Chris Martin and Willie need to do this together!
Who knows how long Willie Nelson will be with us so we should remember these momene]ts
I heard this as I was changing channels, and Willie's haunting voice and the mournful steel guitar, stopped me in my tracks! This song came into my life at the exactly perfect time.
This is one of the best Willie Nelson's songs I heard, I'm not a big country music listener, smooth jazz is my thing, but I really like this one.
Well I didn't expect to cry today, but here we are
Willie Nelson could sing the phone book and I would cry 😢❤️
Ron and Fez noon to three. Thanks for the memories buddays.
I can't help but feel this version is best. So much power behind Willie's voice.
It's like his voice is crying as he sings it, he sings this with a bleeding heart and u feel every word as it's meant to be felt. I always go back to the start at the beginning if I can't find my way out of some funks that I've been in and I always say I have to go back to the beginning and try again to see why im feeling this way. ..it works like he says it's amazing and it tears your heart out when he sings. Hail willie Nelson
Ol' Willie went goth.. kinda. Epicness!!!
His version is so meaningful and well sang....when I first heard this I wept. I still do
Okay, not only can Willie sing "Pearl Jam" he can sing "Coldplay". Not bad for an 80+year old man. Willie, you the man!
I fell in love with Willie and music and his very athletic and beautiful different voice it's what separates him from all the others I was 15 I'm now 58 love you Willie fan 4 life
Absolutely brillant. Does a phenomenal job. The lyrics are so piercing, passionate - made special by his voice! Thank you sir!!!
This was an absolute privilege to listen to. Thank you Willie. Phenomenally done.
Just watched The Judge with my lovey bride of 38 years and heard this tune. I had forgotten how good this song was.
I loved that movie. just finished it and had to hear this song.
What a beautiful rendition of an already beautiful song. I’m a huge Coldplay fan, but, this is a Johnny Cash “Hurt” level cover. Well done Willie!!
Willie taught me that I'm in a partnership with the IRS. Best line ever.
Willie Nelson Does This Just Right.
what a honor to have the great willy nelson cover your song
I’m not sure why I’m ever surprised at anything Willie does ❤
I love you mumzie, and Romy... ill miss you everyday mum...Thankyou Willie... mum loved you... 💛⚘️💋
My Dad died of Alzeihmers the scene in the shower was so very real ,,, made me cry in the theater,,,
😭😭🙏🏻🙏🏻
May your dad be at peace now. Too sad 😢
I understand. I helped my father through his dementia.
True emotion and feeling in his voice, can literally feel the passion in his voice, best cover of this song I've heard to date
Awesome song I wished I would have met him 👵🎯
You know you wrote the PERFECT song when ole Willie Nelson Covers it. 😭👍🏼 Beautiful
Lost my pops almost a year ago. Going tomorrow to see him for memorial day. This song brings a mix of happy tears. Thank you Willie.
RIP SSGT John Bush 173rd Airborne
My respects to your father, #RIP #tillvalhalla
My respects to your father. I lost mine when I was 10yo. Wish I could go back to the start
December 20th will be 3yrs for me...I miss him everyday bro...
I came to this after watching The Judge and felt same way with what Hank Palmer felt when seeing his father passed away. My oldman is sick now and I'm feeling depressed of what's going to happen to him..
RIP mate , Until Valhalla . From an ex Brit Infantryman 🇬🇧 🇺🇸
I, greatly and thankfully laugh quite a bit for this great song, always thanks
I remember talking to my late wife, complaining that the stars we dealt with had names like 18095+2704, and not something more poetic. Her face lit up, because she knew that star right away. She knew it.
This song was introduced to me by a good friend that i lost. Sitting here looking at the river, listening to it and thinking about him.
I'm speechless with tears rolling down my face
that's the way i felt on que last line in "Just Breath".
I'm getting the whole Johnny Cash hurt vibe here. Amazing cover!
Modern songwriters are just as manly and stoic as ever but the music sounds made them harder to take seriously at the time. Lonely cowboys are forever. Nobody said it was easy
Hits home! My Dad... miss you.
I swear this man voices touches you heart and soul a one of a kind
Willie is a national treasure. Last of the Legends. Keep on rock'in.
Every cover these guys do, including Cash and Willie, all of ‘em. They show their true heart. I love these heroes of mine and I hope they shine greater than any light we have ever seen.
Be the person you have always needed. It really is never too late
This touched my heart every time I swept up popcorn to it.
dear God. just bawled my eyes out. nobody in the world like willie. always loved this song now i love it more
He is one of my favorite artist,when you think Willie Nelson, you think america,hands down to this great artist,and great album cover!!!🥰🥰🥰
I heard this while watching The Judge. This was when I really heard and felt the words! Love this....
This song brings me back to my old memory,so beautiful cover.
