12 people have no souls

[Evelin0Linda]

The bird with clipped wings can still sing, but can no longer fly. :)

[mistyhendon]

[ciggymonster]

@neoanarchobeatpunk i think thats the best thing ive heard any one say C:

[lordspoet86]

No words of wisdom, could make me feel better. Perfect.

[boomerdog1123]

Why hasn't this man done a Tiny Desk Concert?

[bhigh535]

@boomerdog1123 i thought he did? when they first started doing those? or it might have been NPR?

[brodank]

Real crackerfarm fans have been on this channel since 240p!

[85valen]

Im sending this to my ex boyfriend......tonight!

[granthasnoidea]

i wrote this fuck this shit

[lordspoet86]

@granthasnoidea Thats why it's great!!! i mean--we all have wrote this. One time or another.

[tlh235]

HD please!

[RatherCrunchyMuffin]

If anyone can discover his strumming pattern, I will send you cash, American, in the mail.

[kurtlennon22]

@RatherCrunchyMuffin if you want his strumming pattern just listen to it and feel it...reading just makes music more complicated then it needs to be. watch his hand.

[prettylittlearbol]

yes.



[gariety123456]

It simply doesn't get better than this.

Wonderful Beautiful Words and Music

"the bird with clipped wings can still sing but can no longer fly" ...<3

[alexrat2]

I think this is the most simple yet most beautiful expression of loss I have heard.

[alatha3]

I am on a mission from god to find the 7 people who disliked this and punch them in the face.

[zekemuffin]

One of our rare modern songwriters worth every note he plays. Thanks for posting and here's to all of us that know something worth listening to.

[pinksharp5]

Fuuuckkkk the people who didn't like this song, they have no fucking hearts!

<3<3 Love this song with a passion!

[pinksharp5]

Fuuuckkkk the people who didn't like this song, they have no fucking hearts!

<3<3 Love this song with a passion!

[99erable]

this song is fantastic. wish this is how our artists delivered us songs on cd...aka just how it would sound if they just sang it rather than someone helping them produce it. RAW

[scoop2230]

Who would've thought a little boring town like Langhorne, PA would produce this brilliance?! He's one of the most honest song-writers we've got today and he's still relatively under the radar. Cherish his music, folks.

[casseyben]

...ok, you got me. I'm a fan!

[murphy1907]

No words of wisdom could make me feel better- I'm feeling those words

[aidanfealy16]

5 people have terrible hand-eye coordination..

[ShinSkillet]

Who was I before you Mr. Slim? I can't remember.

[blondie9842]

I love when i find a new artist and immediately get hooked.

[sofranza]

Wow...truly brought a tear to my eye...loved it

[WHITETRASHDOLL]

It always sends shivers up my spine to hear someone sing the exact things you feel.

[rightfuzzball]

i found you through some chopper guy. u remind me of me a bit. only no one likes me.which makes my music honest. i have no one to entertain but myself. i like this song. will you listen to "what to say" by me? thanks l.h.s.

[MarbieCruz]

@rightfuzzball I listened to you song "What To Say" ...it's good thumbs up.

[rightfuzzball]

@MarbieCruz that's nice of you marbie.you made my day.! happy easter from ny! i'm giving up my dream of being a recording,i'm trying building choppers and fixing classic cars..it's been a rough road. i listened to more slim. i see why he's popular.he's good! take care, Tom

[TheCarcrazygirl]

I think I have fallen in love.....again

Honestly.. you make me think of my son

the way you dress and sing and play

But your words MELT ME.. thank you!!! WHEW!!!

[trippw10]

saw him live last night in Charleston, SC...these perfect videos don't do his live shows any justice...he is unbelievable!!!!!!!!! very cool and nice guy! and he drinks jamison for the record

[JUFEMOBE1987]

RECUERDA ESTA CANCION DENISSE, FUE LO MEJOR PARA LOS DOS.

[Bombero122486]

Awesome

[Beattodeathlikeadog]

Has everyone just kinda ran into him on Youtube and instantly loved the music? That's the vibe I'm getting. And that's my story as well.

[oWHONERSo]

Found this dude the other day... Wow, glad I found him! You're fucking awesome.

[xXzbrianzXx]

I'm a guy but i fucking love his voice :D

[eltoro9]

This man likes his Johnny Walker, but can't decide whether to order Red or Black.

Really nice guy.

[MR9to5tv]

How can someone "dislike" this? Makes no sense

[HigherrConsciousness]

very nicee shitt,,, like this vibe,, its like thinking of a summer past

[raymondabauer]

Great song has a lot of meaning to me. My wife passed away 2 years ago on March 16th 2011. She left me a video she recorded less then 3 months before she died saying she was sorry she couldnt be here with me longer basically what this song says.. her last words in video were im sorry i love you but goodbye! song hits home hard!! great artist!!

[stellacatmeow]

Wow! what a talent he is!

[Kaydawn08]

Amazing..

[tmartin442]

This makes me want to puke my heart onto the floor 

[23angelsegura23]

dam thi nigga goes hard AF!!!

[OdonataP]

To the people that DISLIKED this, I don't want to say what you think doesn't matter but as of 2/13/2011, you only represent

0.06% (yes I figured that out).

So, statistically, you DON'T MATTER. But you still have the right to feel that way.

[GDeadphans]

Beautiful song though. Hard hitter, brings out a shit ton of emotions. Great job

[MorkSal]

So depressing lol, basically what my girlfriend who I had bought a house with said to me about a month ago."I love you, but goodbye" =(

Great song and a great artist! He definitely knows what it's like to have his heart broken.

[ilovegracegale]

BEST show ever! Spectacular musicians, such good quality...There was so much energy and I felt all these emotions!

[endoTHEOSIS]

My girlfriend told me that...screw 'love'.

[ilovegracegale]

yay im going to see him this thursday :D

[luuvvpuppy]

this guy is soo good, yet remains mostly undiscovered...

[tonibray]

Damn this is suiting. Very well written. So simple yet deep. I frickin' love it!

[mzkabn]

@activate124 haha obviously just had contrasting feelings that day bout some girl to whom i could have dedicated both "versions".

respect to mr slim n yall good music lovers

[kriddledum]

This song hits me so fucking hard. I just lost the love of my life 2 months ago and this song says everything I can't find the words to say. RIP George!

[sergiomyloveRIP]

@kriddledum I know all too well....Lost my love 3yrs ago in an accident. This song says it all. I read once that the feelings of grief never go away; it's just that one day you wake up and it's not the FIRST thing you think of. One day you will laugh again and not feel guilty about it. I am sure that's how my Sergio and your George would want it. Hang on for dear life....

[IHAVEABIGDOGGY]

Dude, this is good.

[tweedy151]

Ooof.

[mzkabn]

i hate you so fuck off

[PeteWojMusic]

what Jersey farm??

[Mouldytone]

It`s just how I feel about a beautiful friend that the world`s about to lose. Thanks for the song Langhorne Slim. It has helped me put perspective on the pain.

Tony M

[Jabtyson34]

I dedicate this to JENNIFER MATTHEWS. Time and music will help you along, love. Especially genuine music like this, telling you someone, somewhere, has felt what you are feeling right now. MISS YOU BESTIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!

[hope262003]

He is Amazin.This is the first time I've heard of him,and listened to this type of music.. Just 2 sec in I was BLOWN AWAY.I listened to alot of his songs on here I loved them all. He is so Deep. Its hard to find that in music now. I got teared up this song really touched me. Ive never heard a song that has touched me the way This one did. Where IM at in life right now I needed this song...

I thank you Langhorne SLIM I will be a life long Fan of your music...

[OurVinyl]

@hope262003 I love seeing how much a song can impact someone's day or life. Let me know if I can help you find any new music. There are so many neat ways today to find talented artists. 

[HannibaltoRome]

@hope262003 First time I saw him was at an art gallery at New Year's. There was this skinny fella standing on a chair along the wall beating the heart out of a guitar with the whole room in his thrall. Been to half a dozen shows since them and gave him directions on the subway once. :) Love everything Langhorne does.

[keep7blaze6]

couldnt have said it any better

[keep7blaze6]

@hope262003 couldnt have said it any better..stay REAL

[ridjam]

@hope262003 Isn't he just heartbreakingly good? You MUST see him live. He is amazing and an absolute gent.

[ryattt]

@hope262003 if you want some suggestions..if u havent found anyone similar i can give u some goooood bands to check out

[DBendo888]

@hope262003 agreed.

[tazmaz3242]

Hes just a man with a guitar, making amazing music.

[bradlom80]

always liked slim but just wanted to say who cares if other people might not like music u like..just be happy...don't put others down if they like something else..just support the singers and the bands u like.. Great Song Slim...

[Rubyshoes2000]

I'm loving your music after discovering you on a tv ad for dog food in UK!

I'm loving you... and hello <3

[crossroad530]

i love it

[InfiniteIdentity]

this song is amazing, beyond words. if you dont think so you don't have ears

[cpanetta87]

i love him slim keeps time with his legs and toes

[catriona123]

oh my god

[arcagey]

It was a brilliant idea to place a drink next to him. Acoustic guitars & alcohol -- without which life would be unbearable.

[dtanktdtank]

@arcagey without the alcohol he would be unbearable

[brendanmoots]

@arcagey ironic he's sober now, huh.

[bluebirdreviews]

I want to thank you, thank you, for being my friend ...

[jjohnston2119]

Does anyone one know where to buy this acoustic version? This is the only place I have found it

[josh10022001]

@jjohnston2119 any youtube video can be downloaded on a google search type in video2mp3 first one to come up click on it then copy and paste the url at the top of the video to the site video2mp3 and hit convert BAM its in your itunes

[PoopingAllAround]

@josh10022001 Wow, that's really awesome. Is it possible to extract audio out of only a section of a video?

[outcast619]

This is good shit man, powerful lyrics and a powerful voice. perfectly done

[deaneagle]

happened to me 3 weeks ago. but life goes on. Music helps a lot, there are more people in the same situation, or that has experienced the same thing, that just shows that this is not the end of the world. even though it feels like it in the start.

[ChrisWoodMusic]

Amazing writing and incredible voice indeed. The heart will always hear matters of the heart..

[scottscoob]

genius...now whers the accurate tabs ?? nyone?

[pattersonsgirl]

this is such a beautiful sad song, it pulls at my heart.

[starrdreamer1953]

Yep, this one does hit hard...we all have experienced " I love yous and goodbyes" in life...and life goes on with memories left behind to reflect upon...

[2Bobcat2]

I love it !!!

[laqutis]

i love his music but he tends to massacre his tunes in live shows. i haven't seen a live version of "in the midnight" that didn't make me cringe. still, the man is an outstanding artist, just not live.

[mlcollinsjr]

i like him so much better without a live band

[RageAholic6377]

Agree'd. I only ever want to listen to him acoustic by himself

[BoobyMcDoogle]

Anybody got the chords for this?

[rungej]

@BoobyMcDoogle

pretty easy.. a G to a C, and then in between singing he takes the C position up a couple frets and back down again..

capo 2nd fret.

[BoobyMcDoogle]

thanks, but that's definitely not a C chord, because you can see he goes back to a C. Whatever it is, he's moving it around, but he goes back to a C formation

[sauza751]

@BoobyMcDoogle if it's not a C it mean that it is an F ! maybe^^

[rungej]

@BoobyMcDoogle

It's easy. Capo 2nd fret. It goes from a G to a C. and between singing he slides the C position up 2 frets and back down.

[leimanaang]

She said I love you but good bye.

I love you but good bye.

And I love you but goodbye.

A bird with clipped wings can still sing but can no longer fly.

[leimanaang]

She said I love you but good bye.

I love you but good bye.

A bird with clipped wings can still sing but can no longer fly.

What am I here for? Who makes the decision? For every beginning there must come an end. I want to thank you darling, for all that youve given. I want to thank you, thank you, for being my friend

[leimanaang]

Why did u come if you cant stay for ever? How could u leave me all alone on this earth? Who was I before you? I cant remember. Why couldnt I have been the one to leave here first?

I love you but good bye.

I love you but good bye.

No words of wisdom can make me feel better.

I am having hard days and I curse the night.

Maybe Ill fly far away, just to forget her.

Perhaps Ill stay right where I am and get on with my life.

[kbjami]

"a bird with clip wings can still sing but can't fly"

Damn I love this song

[skatefarmerftw]

I adore this song. and i love it how he moves his legs like me when playing guitar : )

[Ladymia25]

please please give me the lyrics of this beautiful song? <3 <3 xx

[leimanaang]

@Ladymia25 lol posted last night the lyrics and failed at it so had to repost again. sorry bout that but its all correct now

[Ladymia25]

lol not worry

thank you so very much you were very kind!!!

is a beautiful gift <3 <3 : )

[shadrussell]

Does anyone know for sure if he tunes down a half step? It kiiiinda sounds like he might... either that or my strings are just dead.

[DivaAnnFisher]

I like  your acoustic guitar and simple melodies.

I guess I like clear music and sound.

If you want, have a listen to me performing my original country song,

"I've Got A Smile.

Just click my video response above,

or my name in blue above,

DivaAnnFisher

[Erisleones]

Why can't you be the one? Why did you come if you can't stay forever? Love this SONG!

[johnnynativeseed]

Bro, excellent song and vid. I really dig your style. Thanks so much. Made me cry when I heard it on the radio here in Eugene, Oregon the other day....damn.

[jayKay098]

amazing

[lesure1]

So sweet!

[TheMus1cfan]

How AMAZING is this guy? He is quality! I found a few of his albums -HAD TO HAVE THEM ALL! Hee hee! Also LOVING his hat!!! :D

[Scratch5591]

I found out about him on a TV commercial and when i heard his song "Worries" I instantly ran to the computer to find out who sang it and d/l that song and a couple more on itunes.

[danpan311]

it's hardcore man, straight to the heart.....

[NeedleInTheHay1990]

Just discovered this guy through the Avett Brothers and I love him already. Can't wait to hear more :)

[teedeeiss]

AWESOME song. How very sad & sooo true!

[Emmalovestosing]

This is beautiful.

[taoistcowboy123]

In the words of little Teddy Niedemeyer from the movie The Three Amigoes...

[WorldWithoutTears]

[pineapple420expresss]

A bird with clipped wings can still sing but can't fly-- Wow, what a powerful line.

[HackyMySack]

@pineapple420expresss can no longer fly*

just annoyed me :P

[pineapple420expresss]

Ha ha, I just listened to it again, and you're right. I didn't pick that up. Thanks.

[iniinfi]

@pineapple420expresss 'A bird with clipped wings can still sing but can no longer fly'

[ettubruteful]

@pineapple420expresss

It's from the poem I know why the cage bird sings by Maya Angelou

[laxfreak2828]

@ettubruteful no its not

[rambleonrose93]

the free bird leaps on the back of the win and floats downstream till the current ends and dips his wings in the orange sun rays and dares to claim the sky. But a bird that stalks down his narrow cage can seldom see through his bars of rage his wings are clipped and his feet are tied so he opens his throat to sing.

[rambleonrose93]

The caged bird sings with fearful trill of the things unknown but longed for still and is tune is heard on the distant hillfor the caged bird sings of freedom The free bird thinks of another breeze an the trade winds soft through the sighing trees and the fat worms waiting on a dawn-bright lawn and he names the sky his own.

[rambleonrose93]

But a caged bird stands on the grave of dreams his shadow shouts on a nightmare scream his wings are clipped and his feet are tied so he opens his throat to sing The caged bird sings with a fearful trill of things unknown but longed for still and his tune is heard on the distant hill for the caged bird sings of freedom

[rupman27isback]

@pineapple420expresss i love that line as well.. reminds me of pink floyds song 'mother' " wont let you fly but might let you sing "

[lezineb]

*Why did you come? You can't stay forever How could you leave me all alone on this Earth *Why couldn't I have been the one to Leave here first? *No words of wisdom Can make me feel better *What am I here for? Who makes the decision? For every beginning There must come an end I want to thank you darling For all that you've given I want to thank you *i love you, but goodbye

[lezineb]

[Bromberrchen]

[bufufrog]

[burky61]

@bufufrog its okay bubufrog. life goes on

[JonnyComstockscool]

@bufufrog it hit me hard too... really hard

[hippiescummmmm]

@bufufrog Hell yeah. I feel this song way down in my stomach, and deep in my soul. He nailed it.

[ridjam]

A bird with clipped wings can stil sing but no longer fly. Genius

[wootyeah222]

why did you come if you can't stay forever?

who was i before you? i can't remember.

amazing song and i adore it.

[yd108]

it reassuring to think propler have been through this before ):

[ericweige]

chemjb i'm in the same boat as you... i saw the commercial and was like, who is this guy singing.. looked him up and had all his albums 30 minutes later and burnt them all about 10 times, one per car, i have two cars, and handed the rest out and said, guys trust me, listen to this shit...

[angstbeforebeauty]

Hey, thanks for writing a great love song.

[lockshark]

j'adore la chanson

[marcie99]

i just absolutely loved this!

[chemjb]

I can't stop listening to this guys songs. He's amazing.

It all started with that travelers insurance commercial. I loved the song and right away went to find who the author was.

[caprikorn1978]

me to hahaa

[metallica0980]

you cant stay forever, how could you leave me all alone on this earth? ='(

[blacksnake28164]

I near tripped over my own feet when my ear caught Slims voice coming out of the TV and not from my ipod. Love his songs.

[welshperson123]

AMAZING!

[OUTTAIDEAS88]

Im so far behind in the music scene--just discovered this dude---and he's amazing.
