Warren Zevon- Please Stay

[writelife39]

Love the entire album, especially his rendition of "knockin' on heaven's door' R.I.P. Warren.

[bcinnz]

who is the lovely female voice in the chorus? And the sax player, what a great sound played with such feeling!

[SparkieMcbambam]

@bcinnz I believe the sax is Gil Bernal, and the background vocals is Emmylou Harris

[sunnyside461]

breaks my heart every time...

[dsta123]

I too have cancer and know what it is like to be fighting it - knowing that at some point there will be an ending and a final curtain and that all the love in your heart will be no more.

[PesarTarofi]

why advertise a ugly face

[danynumero6]

@PesarTarofi This was the cover of Warren Zevon's final album. He was dying of lung cancer when this picture was taken and when this song was recorded asshole.

[ktpinnacle]

@PesarTarofi

Why reveal your ugly thoughts.

[PesarTarofi]

@ktpinnacle you are older than the internet

[ktpinnacle]

@PesarTarofi

And you are a waste of youth.

[uppastbedtime]

There has been no one like him and there never will be.

[bmurphy519]

beautiful song

[uppastbedtime]

My mother is dying of cancer and I've said these words to her.  Not exactly these. I said don't go. Big difference. I'll stay with her to the end with all of my family. But she can't give me my wish that she not go. What else is there. If you've gone through it, you've got it.

[mrmahn3]

Thank you ,Warren. I'm still enjoying my sandwiches.....

[123rcac]

thx. al i"ve got. thx

[0013AgentOrange]

this song gives me chills every time i hear it

[austinanimalart]

I'm moved to tears....what a beautiful song.

[Vidike]

Such an amazing artist he was. Rest In Peace!

[JamesCGI]

Odd how some songs stick with you. Heard this song on NPR shortly after my father passed away. It's now forever, and rightfully so, associated with that time in my life. Well done Warren, well done.

the sax is amazing......and the girl singing....strangely reminds me of the chick that sang with steve martin in the jerk.......lol...i dont know why and instead of pulling out a coronet....she pulls out the sax......

[hallpriest9]

@eclipsephoto The female voice would be that of Emmylou Harris.

[amorovi]

great

[MyMoppet52]

This is a masterpiece. I appreciate you posting it. I am going out this weekend and getting a copy. I can't believe he did this writing, singing, and recording while as ill as he was. He was a blessing to all. He is missed! ALWAYS. I hope to use him for my example some day. Thank you for posting.

[freewheelinQ]

This man is an example of true genius, true skills and true courage!!! He decided to face Death not by weeping and crumbling down!!! He faced it leaving this AMAZING album: THE WIND as his last MASTERPIECE!!! I truly admire him!!! RIP Mr. Z

[cyrustheheman]

[1305Banana]

Please Stay.........

[pegoutube]

I refuse to read the other comments, I won't be jaded, he was the most underrated genus's of our time , period.

[boiledhooker]

sorry to boo ya, Warren

[alsippi17]

i want this song played at my funeral.

[tinalbp]

@alsippi17 I wonder if it was played at his funeral. I bet it was. Paul Shaffer would probably know.

[tinalbp]

First I want to make sure and say I am a different Tina who loves Warren's voice in this song at that point in his live, it makes it even more meaningful. Thanks for posting it. This was listed as an inspiration for my fave actor & writer Michael Easton for his "Soul Stealer" trilogy and I can see why. It's heartbreaking yet beautiful.

[gooberdong]

warren deserves more respect than he ever got.

[damianrwhite]

fucking hell, what a song

[ratedr739]

Very nice song..i will buy the cd..whats the title to the cd that brings this song?

[36clashfan77]

The Wind

[senilord]

The Wind

His last album, he made it in the last weeks of his life. He refused treatment and just wanted to finish his last album

[bstan456]

tina i say it is pretty damn amazing for a man with terminal lung cancer

[Tina1300]

If he had a better voice this could be a good song.

[bstan456]

look into his story

[mavis41558]

Tina1300 - If he had a better voice this could be a good song.

You should go to the nearest

Mensa Club meeting right away.

Somewhere a village is missing its idiot.

[jcb30rock]

@mavis41558 he did have a better voice he sang thid duying of throat cancer

[mavis41558]

Pay attention, I just repeated Tina1300's stupid comment so you would know that I was insulting her. Try reading.

[jcb30rock]

why don't u get mad about something totally mundane and stupid, good job

[katterfelto]

@jcb30rock Actually he died of mesothelioma, which is a cancer of the lining of the lungs.

[Nazman06]

He had a great voice. But was pretty much on his last breath when he did his last cd. I think he did great for a dying man.

[pegoutube]

Ahem...brings me to tears

[seangotgame]

The saxophone is beautiful. Damn near brings tears to my eyes.

[scaleyback1]

Absolutely brilliant.

[minozaurus1]

Amazing

[surfingsuicune]

Great song off 'The Wind'. Very fitting saxophone work.
