[Shantipantie]

I want Roky Erickson to play music in my car!

[batfrend]

i luv ROKY!!!

[broken1394]

ROKY is coming to birmingham dec 2010 - I got my anticipations!!

[OldSteamer]

beautiful

[tombeast17]

So effortless...Roky has an amazing natural talent for music. His mind was pretty gone at this stage wandering into dark corners and yet he can still play something like this without effort and play with emotion. Legend!

and another

[MrMclibrary]

watched this video at least a hundred times, and it only gets better.

[SirRobert82]

This is a piece of music history i'm glad got preserved for eternity. Beautiful.

[Rune88888]

Roky is Great - This song is really a masterpiece. His voice is the greatest for acoustic music...

[andymccoy78]

he looks so painful and haunted...he breaks my heart

[ortleyman]

"If you come and see me that would really free me, tell me what the trip you've took has done for you." Those are killer lyrics. Friggen genious. Gives me fucking goose bumps. Powell St. John must be one hip cat.

[SirRobert82]

Just an incredible beautiful song, Roky never seize to amaze me. Thanks for putting this up!

[ortleyman]

Sir Robert. You hit it on the head.

[squirrelysan]

Jeff Tweedy anyone? Man, seeing this guy like this, reminds me of Tweedy so much, song and face. I think Roky is a vicarious space being with a lien on Tweedy's body, ala Being Jeff Tweedy...

[dancindutchweasel]

great version of a classic Powell St. John song

[Frankgard1]

so beautiful! such a masterpiece

[poddel]

Well this is one of the great originals still left from the sixties, quite underrated in my opinion. like this tune a lot - and the video!

[mathryders]

i love roky..

[Discfiend69]

So much of roky's music takes me to wonderful"FAR-OUT"places and then he can break your heart with stuff like this...

A very special human being

[smichael90]

Wow, I cried. So fucking beautiful!

[TJamesBell]

This is one of the coolest videos I've ever seen on YTube. He just plays that song so effortlessly and beautifully, as if he'd been playing it his whole life, and in the back seat of a car no less, to an audience of probably two! Just sublime. It really seals the deal on just how crazy talented Roky really is. Even more so than the great documentary You're Gonna Miss Me even conveys, and that's saying alot.

[ZachTFLd]

This is really a beautiful song.

[malinas]

that made me cry.

I think roky and steven patrick morissey have had a lot depression in there life, but they still have become beautiful human beings.

[COGENTCOG]

How many artists could be so poetic with a simple acoustic guitar in the back seat of a car?

[catherinae]

You were right, Roky. We miss you and we didn't realize.

[pziebold]

It's o.k. he is doing music again and is no longer in custody of his brother or mother. I am glad he is better. I knew he was somewhere in that crazy head of his. It just took his brothers love 4 him, the right medicine, and his own inner strength.

[Leticiafregoso]

This song gives me goosebumps.

[neilus]

Man...i hope the guy who filmed this realises how lucky he was...im sure he does. this is absolutely stunning...particularly the line "tell me waht the trip you took/has done for you", you wil never hear a more poignant line anywhere. ever. Roky is a f´ing genius...god bless you Roky

[Billykid514]

GENIUS

[closetome]

Can someone point me to a page where I can learn to finger pick like this?

[pehbunny]

i got misty watching this

[richardnixon17]

Roky is at his best singing & strumming on an acoustic for an audience of no more than three...Absolutely sublime. Never Say Goodbye is the pinnacle of RECORDED MUSIC. Fuck John Lennon, Fuck Leonard Cohen, they don't hold a candle to Roky...

[richardnixon17]

The greatest singer/guitarist/songwriter/ar­tist of all time past/present/future/non-time..­.

[tocadiscoshumano]
