I'm a 33 year old man from New zealand, Im a metal head, slam, death, black, my father died as I turned 21, Steve earle will always be in my heart thanks to my father, I wish I could show/listen to townes with him, I feel like I am with him with this music, RIP STEPHEN KINSELLA WALKER.. RIP Townes Van Zandt
It's plain to see, the sun won't shine today But I ain't in the mood for sunshine anyway Maybe I'll go insane, I got to stop the pain Or maybe I'll go down to see Kathleen [Verse 2] A swallow comes and tells me of her dreams She says she'd like to know just what they mean I feel like I could die as I watch her flying by Ride the north wind down to see Kathleen [Verse 3] The stars hang high above, the oceans roar The moon is come to lead me to her door There's crystal across the sand And the waves, they take my hand Soon I'm gonna see my sweet Kathleen Soon I'm gonna see my sweet Kathleen
@@yemsen555 You should look up his biography, it gives you a greater understanding of his lyrics. He was bipolar before they knew what that was and was subjected to shock therapy, illegal today, when he was 14. He spent the 70s living in a shack with no electricity and made money playing dive bars. The sadness in his songs comes from a place of deep understanding most of us will.neber know.

Wish I could have seen Townes. When you are down, perfect! He was perfection!
a song to die for...
E' sicuramente il più grande che il Texas ha ci ha dato. E sempre una emozione grandissima ascoltare Townes Van Zandt. È in assoluto il mio preferito
best version ever!
Wonderful
It's plain to see, the sun won't shine today
But I ain't in the mood for sunshine anyway
Maybe I'll go insane, I got to stop the pain
Or maybe I'll go down to see Kathleen
[Verse 2]
A swallow comes and tells me of her dreams
She says she'd like to know just what they mean
I feel like I could die as I watch her flying by
Ride the north wind down to see Kathleen
[Verse 3]
The stars hang high above, the oceans roar
The moon is come to lead me to her door
There's crystal across the sand
And the waves, they take my hand
Soon I'm gonna see my sweet Kathleen
Soon I'm gonna see my sweet Kathleen
Thanks
Thanks
Just thanks,a lifetime
Perfect music !
This is the actual man.
Damn he's good!
Genius
His true legacy is in his words! "Poetry in Harmony" "Passion is From the Pain, & the Pain is From the Passion" "Peace Takes Practice" Rick
"আমার হৃদয় ভেঙে টুকরো করে ছড়িয়ে দেব তারায় তারায়"
Wow
His story is tragic..
mule sez--sticken around long as I can
Been dead two times, never saw a light or good looking woman on the other side.
Is that really referring to codeine an opiod?
Yes.
Townes was an opiate addict/alcoholic, but more than that, he was the greatest songwriter to ever grace the planet.
Thanks for the info. . No judgment here. To each his own. And to the best song writer rest in peace.
