FUCK OFF WITH THE ADS!

I WILL BOYCOTT ANY COMPANY WHO ALLOWS THEIR ADS TO BE SHOVED IN FRONT OF THE VIDEO I CAME HERE TO WATCH!!!

[roryfitzpatric]

Normally dont like country at all because of the conent, but Rodney Crowell is special.

[mathis1689]

Nobody but NOBODY does it like Rodney! Had almost forgotten about this one-it had been so long since I heard it. You go Dude!! 5 Stars and then some!

[MrDarkHatman]

PSI country

[joy00923]

Good song!

[DalonCole]

Yet further proof God is from Texas.

[marshalt]

This is the best song ever.

[RockmanYoshi]

PSI ROCKIN!

[Muzikluvr62]

great make-me-want-to-dance music! we need more uplifting sounds like this! all you haters are jaded and don't know true get in your soul music! rock on Rodney! You got it! Don't change!

[XNintendrewX]

Lol is this the Runaway Five?

[08shortstop]

Like the song better than the video, but Rodney has been delivering great country classics for years ... one of the best songwriters of his genre ... keep 'em coming ... thanks for the post.

[7thgrader07]

he is from Crosby, Texas

[catbageler]

Earthbound's original title was Mother so why don't you guys go troll Danzig and leave a great artists music alone.

[Prior23]

@catbageler It was actually called Mother 2...

[CasualThursdays]

@Prior23 i dont mean to sound like a troll or a hater or anything but:

in us it's called earthbound...

and it was made 8 years before this

[tooties1951]

@catbageler AMEN, I agree with you totally - If they don't like great country music, then why in the HELL do they even look at the videos and as far as leaving negative comments, WHY DON'T THEY GET A LIFE! I country all the way and I sure don't go on sites of music or videos that's not country and if I did - I SURE WOULDN'T LEAVE NEGATIVE COMMENTS because I didn't like it.

[katiejdr567]

I linked this video in a newspaper article, Rodney. Sorry, how can I pay for doing that.

[katiejdr567]

One last thought, wish this song never ends. Rodney can you add a bunch more words? please.

[katiejdr567]

What is that place in me that Rodney touched? What is it called?

[TheEJ10]

VEVO used earthboundVEVO!

Ness couldn't stop crying!

Paula couldn't stop crying!

Jeff couldn't stop crying!

Poo couldn't stop crying!

[slitheryjuggler94]

This song will be absorbed into the darkness.

[bobpalumbomusic]

What a great song...and what a GREAT SONGWRITER.....you might be one of the greatest lyricists of our generation....and i mean that 100%......OUTSTANDING STUFF!! Fate's Right Hand is an INCREDIBLE CD!!!

[gonolz]

Sometimes, when people find out I am an atheist, they tell me something to the effect that, "it must be very sad believing that when you die, that's it." So, I simply quote them Mr. Crowell:

"Someday I'll be leaving/But I just can't help believing that its not...to...day!!!"

If they are intrigued enough to ask, I then tell them to go listen to this song, for this is my spirituality.

Love this song!

[xSUPERSONICx99]

Where's Giygas?

[RozayRyo2]

brilliantly written. Being of the same age and also a picker and singer I can relate to the striking lyrics. Wow all of those words are in the dictionary but so hard to pick the right ones and intertwine them so well

[q0zi]

Boy I sure would love some steak

[TOMMYGUNNable]

Best song he ever wrote. And it sounds like it took some time.

[TheChatter4]

only got into rodney crowell a few months ago due to youtube as i live in the uk, i like his later music best, fate's right hand album is fantastic, real music real lyrics

[PRINCEsslsl]

one of those songs that i loved from the first time i heard it. this song haunted me for days until i found out what it was called.

[CountrynIrish]

Wonderful Song ! Love it ! Amazing Lyrics ! You sing it beautifully, a classic recording ! Thank you so much for sharing ! 5*****+

[justanotherpatriot]

8 people are earthbound fans

[biddybuzz]

just needed another Rodney fix before going to the leaba



[katiejdr567]

Cancel my last comment. I get it now.

[katiejdr567]

Sorry for being illiterate , is that a mandolin or banjo?

[katiejdr567]

"See the sky big and beautiful blue ... Fallin angels come calling for you"....

Thank you so much

[1950BobbyF]

This morning I finished reading Rodney Crowell's memoir, "Chinaberry Sidewalks." This song is so perfect to listen to after reading that wonderfully moving book.

[biddybuzz]

It's all about the sound, always...

[pbj4toast]

This guy can really sing, and with Bella Fleck on the Banjo, how cool is that?

[ProVsCon]

"...and in the blink of an eye I could Psi, Psi, PSI!"

[katknapzzz]

Video rocks...looking forward to seeing Mr. Crowell in Santa Cruz in April at the Rio...I'm Earthbound too.........thanks for making a senior smile

[BluesKid58]

Love it, love it, love it!

[Vegz0rz]

Someone should make an Earthbound montage with this song. That would be awesome :D

[WeirdAl68]

Love the Mary Karr shout-out!

[ComedyCutouts]

the fat guy on the chair... ITS POKEY!!!

[Joekickass3000]

Holly shit at the end of the song when they're eating was that guy I saw Clint Eastwood... bah probably not

[devlincd]

Rodney is playing at The Kent Stage in Kent, Ohio on March 5th!!!! It's a really great venue to see live music!!!

[PaduaKing53]

PK FIRE!

[lillykat86]

Nothing could be any better than spending time with the ones you love and enjoy the most :-)

[0Surfdude]

Rodney Crowell is a legend. Hear his track 'Blanket 'Neath tha Stars' if you can.

[pancakes2466]

what is this. i want ness .-.

[speedsville]

"I was south east Texas hayseed", that line tickles me ;)

[LinksGamingHammerBro]

FAYUL!!! At song names, and songs

[Tyson0395]

I love when he starts talking about Roseanne Cash halfway through the song.

[winkosmosis]

@Tyson0395 I don't think he's talking about Roseanne Cash. She doesn't have long black hair, and there's no reason to think Johnny Cash didn't like him. They even did a duet of I Walk The Line

[Tyson0395]

@winkosmosis Eh, maybe your right. but she WAS half Irish/Spanish, and she had black hair at one point. Probably a amalgamation of a few of his girlfriends.

[Tyson0395]

Hey guys, I love the game too, but it didn't invent the term Earthbound! (And besides, this is a great song...)

[themangOMEGA]

YES!!! EARTHBOUND IS NOTICED BY--...wait a minute! What the fuck is this shit? Earthbound's about SMAAAAASHing aliens, not this country bull crap!

[GrounderTheRobot]

i Feel.... F....U.....N......K.....Y.....­.

[goldis21]

true love took the next train out of town ~~~~~~~earthbound

[NearbyHermit]

Rodney Crowell ..... I ..... feel .... happy !

[trevspillman4]

Can you gamers not read that Rondey's name is on the title? Great song!

[SolWarriorNidhogg]

THIS ISN'T THE KIND OF EARTHBOUND I CAME HERE FOR.

[Shawnmlb]

this song is awesome and catageler and nicka2009 getting upset because as the title of some video game that has nowhere near as meaning as this song sad very sad..

[Th3Skull3r]

@Shawnmlb Hey hey, is this coming from somebody who has played Earthbound and can compare both?

I have played both the game and listened to this song, both are great in their respective genres but EB the game has a lot of philosophical value and is much more than just another game.

Speaking for the game fans who stumbled upon this video, I don't think any dislike it at all, we are just a vocal fanbase around an unpopular game... hey this song doesn't have many views either..

Hmmm....

[axman90210]

@Th3Skull3r This song was a victim of poor promotion and limited airplay. As for the game, never heard of it.

[Koolkitties]

I wanna make a song called "Zombies ate my Neighbors" and have it be a love ballad.

[tammyduke1]

It don't get much better than this, as long as Rodney lives, plays and writes, I think I might love sticking round.Love, ya'll

[Rayfist090]

You can not grasp the true form of Rodney Crowell!

[nicka209]

wtf don't name a song after a great game or ill come to your house stab you to death then feed you to ness' dog king

[catbageler]

@nicka209 for some reason I doubt he has ever played a Super Nintendo.

[duckypwns]

YEAH I LOVE EARTHBOU-

Hey what the hell is this where is Ness? Where's Paula? Jeff? Poo?

THIS ISN'T EARTHBOUND! WTF!

[electricmastro]

@duckypwns Just call them the Runaway Five and be done with it.

[Joethelazy]

LEARNED PSI ROCKIN

[Dee17fvr]

"one man's lust for life brings world reknown, the next guy can't get two feet off the ground. He's Earthbound" I LOVE Rodney Crowell Love his writing, playing ,singing, etc.... can't wait for him to come back to Annapolis!!

[n8tureboy]

She was Irish-Spanish mix breed, I was southeast Texas hayseed, and we were almost there.. her daddy did not like my kind around.

Earthbound.

[FXMAN66]

still one of the best damn musicians performing today!!!!

[Poppomatic64]

Awesome Song!!!!!

[RNBVW72]

@ BanjoChick....Indeed, Mr. Fleck has the touch.

[1950BobbyF]

His lyrics are so intelligent

[BanjoChick]

Who says the banjo can't be used with taste and subtlety? ;-)

[IamLEGION4weRmany]

i love this sooo much

[robhsmi]

ahh!!!! found it. i saw this video and loved it.i did'nt see it again and could'nt remember the name or artist. i love you tube for this reason.

[BigBlitzDaddy]

I knew love once way back when she had almond eyes and olive skin and long...black...hair. "love that line"

[OutsidrArtst]

One of the best singer/songwriters! A true poet. See my outsider art work slideshow put to this song (outsidrartst earthbound0.

[eddiefi]

Russell Smith from the Amazing Rhythm Aces is in video also

[enilegnave21]

Did anyone else notice J.D. Souther at 4:02?

What a talent.

I dedicate this song to my little brother Clyde "Butchie" who just died December 7, 2009. You will be missed! and hope you don't stay Earthbound now, my gentle spirited brother!

[n8tureboy]

Touching tribute to your brother.

And Yes...what a great song!

[mikebrisebois]

I can tell you really loved him. Life can be so sad sometimes. I'm very sorry for your loss. You'll see him again someday.

God bless

[bofts]

RIP

[magictime11]

Great song! The mention of Mary Karr in song is awesome!

[shoelessjoe14]

That is Rodney's wife Claudia Chruch.

[OldWines]

Sir ~

Please; the man?

KR,

OW

[thesens13]

looks like his drummer

[OldWines]

Sir ~

With respect, RC's drummer is perhaps twenty-seven.

The chap I'm interested in is my age - 59.

Kind regards,

OW

[thesens13]

Very sorry

[thesens13]

Maybe you mean more towards 4:02?

In that case I have no idea.

Again, very sorry.

[OldWines]

Sir ~

You are correct; 4.02.

(Still mystified),

OW

[OldWines]

Sir ~

Thank you for your immediate response.

Please don't be sorry - it's just the camera - and time - angle illustrates him as tho' he were an important figure; an old rock-and-roller, perhaps.

Ta again,

OW

[OldWines]

Please forgive my ignorance; who is the blonde man at 3.55?

Thanks before -

Happy Christmas as well.

O.W.

[livefortoday17]

This is one of my favorite songs of all time. From the first time I heard it, I was completely in love with it <3
