[tom05011996]

[jahrastapack]

@estedrawn i dig your description man. ive been there for sure. what a great song

[wizsoft]

Reminds me of my first love, July 1980

[CountryJukebox56]

Funny cause it's a RED glowing heater, when in the song it's BLUE skies

[RatifiedCow]

@CountryJukebox56 Ohhh... irony. XD

[CountryJukebox56]

What u high bro!?!? Cause ur little description made it sound like u were!

[ReneeNme]

@CountryJukebox56 I'm high and lovin' listenin' to Willie right about now.

[98168]

Very nice video Estedrawn, thank you. It fit the audio very well.

[jecifer666]

This song is amazing. Great video. It captures the minimalism and feeling of the song very well.

[jusawal]

great song, video is perfect, thank you

[310jewel]

5 people probably think Lil Wayne is good music

[sonarman65]

Only one Willie

[TheRockinmama]

im 33 yrs old.... i was raised on country music! my dad & i always listened to country music together... all the classics, willie, waylon, cash, kristoferson, haggard, paycheck... the list goes on & on! but this song has always gotten to me. why? i really dont know. but for a lil over a month now i've been sick & was diagnosed with a heart condition & in & out of the hospital. also found out about other underlayin health probs. i started listenin to this song almost evry nite & it helps calm me.

[TheCaptainQuantum]

The guy who posted this is psychotic. Read his idiotic bio above.

[kphzorz]

@TheCaptainQuantum haha

[cullen823]

i wish my tear ducts would work right.

[CClinej3]

@estedrawn Well explained my friend. Willies one of the greatest song writers of all time and has the credentials to boot. Mans amazing. Keep on keepin' on my man. Blue Skies are still there even when the clouds cover them up... Comforts me to know that they are always there

[utahan15]

irving berlin the genius ala gershwin

[la021583]

thanks

[utahan15]

tight cover! can we forgive spiner for singin this in nemesis? no!!!!!!!!!!!

[zatnicatienth]

@utahan15 oh please, in nemisis Spiner sung it in dance mode. songs like blue skies that have been around for a while have been sung and resung. Nelson is also a better singer than Spiner. i commend Spiner for doing as well as he did, even though i have tocringe as his breaking voice at first....

[Stilettospikes1]

Wilie Nelson classic cover of a classic song.

[offmymedsgeezer]

Thank you, estedrawn, for your insightful personal & musical comments. And for uploading this.

[JackSadis]

This video is life as art. thank you for the post

[garcialovesme]

Willie made me love country music. When I say country music I mean country music by Wille Nelson. Pure musical genius and a voice that could melt a million hearts. LOVE IT!

[subbu515]

Dozens of them sang this great number but Willie is the only one who caught the spirit of this song with his 'nose'. Great !! Simply great !!

[Lionsgrrr]

Hey you did a great job with this heating lamp of yours, it is bizarely reminiscent of the sun, behind a grid, but I feel the sentiment you were going after. Thanks for making this uplifting vid. ;-)

[kaybea]

touches my heart

[joshua626]

All you need is a lamp sometimes brother...

[MrCreed89]

This song is just amazingly peaceful to listen to. The first time I heard it I had a hard time picturing Willie singing this, but he nails it.

[jboogie713]

this a great song to light up to :) ...... wilie would agree

[beckabarecka]

Wow, love what you wrote as much as the song. That is exactly where I am now!!

Thank you

ღ ღ ღ

[ThePrairieson]

From me to my Yankee Girl in Michigan.....blue skies to you, Sweet Woman

[MrD5147]

@estedrawn Thank You,

I can relate to your and choice music, Willie is amazing, and this song was recorded by soooo many, Art Atum 1949 and Ella Fitzgerald 1958 will also WOW you. Blessings and Peace, MrD =)

[zieoblow]

This song brings happy tears to my eyes, I hope we all see blue skies someday.

[yourbigbadauntie]

There's a plethora of different versions of this song, but I think that out of all the different versions I have heard, this would be my favourite. It's just so soothing and pleasant to listen to. I think the people of Brisbane in Australia can relate to this song, according to the weather report. The past week has been very difficult for many people in Brisbane, as it has been reported all over the world.

[nighfidelity]

You, my friend, are a gentleman and a scholar. Thanks.

Willie tells it like no one else.

[TheBoyFrom1962]

This is my song of the moment and my wife loves it too, that's a first for us to like the same song!!!!!

[TheBoyFrom1962]

This is my song of the moment and my wife loves it too, that's a first for us to like the same song!!!!!

[jimbisonlinenow]

This is from Willie's Startdust Album.

Contains lots of classics. You should buy the whole CD.

[vincedc55]

I searched for Blue Skies because I wanted to post it on my FaceBook page and found your video. Don't how you did it, but the effect is soothing and healing like the song. I believe a little synchronicity is going on here with your heat lamp, as mundane as they are. It's helping us connect to Willie's sweet rendition of this classic song. Thank you so much for sharing. It helps during this difficult time in my life.

[Tadek59]

Thanks for share ginmillsinger

The beautiful song !

[z28931]

"CLASSIC" song. They will never make music like this again. Thanks Willie

[asderso]

Happiness = listening to WILLIE NELSON on a lazy Sunday and drinking red wine !

[TTmaniax]

It is tinged with darkness and sadness. Sounds more like grey skies on account of the minor chord usage. The alternation of the major and minor kind of disturbs me.

[klc1989]

this is just lovely. the description especially.

[mhopper1000]

Like very much, good job.

[ShagelBop]

Dude I feel you, the caption says it all, and it really is a beautiful, relaxing song.

[wkauffman1001]

another very memorable work

[ouiebeib]

what's this? just kidding lol everybody asked

[Bluesage2009]

Really nice job on the visuals, simple idea and enormously effective

and pretty damn tastful to!..

Althoughh this it not my sort of music, i reconise good music when i hear it. This is a terrific song, which holds transcendent energy!, like all good pieces of art.

[HustlerMitch]

@Bluesage2009 haha vizuals?

its a heat lamp

[Bluesage2009]

@HustlerMitch

yeah but it rocks!! :)..... lol

its got all sorts of arty-things going for it! :)....

some of the best graphic designers/ Vj's couldn't do better!

It took a creative eye! to realise something looked hypnotic! or pleasing

not everyone has that!

[abcdefghijklmnop7268]

we song this song at are concert

[beesod]

thanksfor posting this. makes me happy

[Purrsa63]

I like Nelson's rendition of this classic song.

[TheInformula]

Electric song! 5*

[TheFurnitureman420]

i played this song over and over when my friend killed himself. it made me feel alot bett to know that his blue days were all gone and he has nothing but blue skies left.

[odyjamess]

@TheFurnitureman420 keep well dude

[pinkpandamiranda]

wow, even though IIve never felt that kind of pain, Im really sorry that your friend killed himself. I know, this song helps me feel better too.

[HustlerMitch]

@TheFurnitureman420 im sorry to hear about that, some people have thoughts of sucide when they dont feel wanted......i know.....this song calms me down well like i said sorry to hear.

Blue skies forever friend =)

[ladybug1951]

@TheFurnitureman420 Sorry about your friend. I know what you mean tho'. I know they have met by now because I saw your post. She could sing this pretty good by the time she was 3. It was a real hit then. It's bittersweet listening to this now. It's been 18 years now and I think of her almost every day.

God bless you.

[jjhitman]

@TheFurnitureman420 I feel ya man!  It helped me also!

[JakeStrangeFishing]

@TheFurnitureman420 not trying to sound like a dick, but suicide is an immortal sin that you go to hell for

[rockysrevival]

@JakeStrangeFishing Didnt try very hard I guess, cause you definitely sounded like a dick there. There's a place in hell for those that dishonor the dead too, pal.

[JakeStrangeFishing]

@rockysrevival that wasnt dishonoring the dead, i didnt use any specific names, i was simply warning of consequence in effort to save others

[310jewel]

@JakeStrangeFishing Hell is an imaginary place made up by delusional people....so STFU

[Kristin4111]

i lu dis song. and the heating lamp thing is cool lol

[sweetys369]

this song makes me cry when ever I listen to it... when my grandpa was laying in bed the dieing the last week of his life, I would go over there and play this song on his record player, hold his hand and sing this song. its a great song. I danced as I sang and pretended like grandpa was dancing too! RIP grandpa!

[atomicfriendo]

that's a sweet memory. This song reminds me of going to visit my grandparents so long ago.

[yvonne43yhra]

hundred years ago for the first time in Arizona, on the autoradio this song and there it was: a blue sky....

[ReneeNme]

I like the idea of the heating lamp. Original and kinda cool.

[mattdaddyful]

I agree with all of you...When i was growing up i use togo to my grandparents for the weekend...He always played Frank Sinatra and Willie Nelson...This song brings back such Great memories...And i HAte country music...Check out Stardust from Willie..

[Zippymt]

There are not many country songs I like either but Willie Nelson has some wonderful stuff

[paulhzuker]

agreed....I remember this song from the Blue Jay games in the late 70's...and I love it

[micr0cosm]

They used to play this at Jay games?

Thats awesome.

[stationranger]

I'm scratching my head here because I hate country music, always have. Then this song came out and knocked my socks off. I still hate country music mind you.

[graphicbrew]

That is because Willie Nelson is in an element of his own. just a great song writer for any music fan.

[MrBu77ers]

the song was written by Irving Berlin was it not

[cloudbowski]

...certainly was, been covered many times. I like this version best though I think. It featues on Fat boy slim's "late night tales' dj mix which is excellent, you should check it out ;)

[drbeige]

Doughnut you donut.

[amac3223]

great song to play at a funeral

love you willie

i thought it was a donought under a grill. not a heater

[SueYchris]

I like potatoes too !

[mankee2211]

awesome video idea...

[555soil]

not really

[555soil]

I think I could fall in love with any woman with this song playing in my mind.

[blackgirlsrhot1]

this song is awesome as usual because willie is awesome, but this video visually speaking sucks why not just film any old thing and put it to good music and people will just watch it and think it is deep or artsy. get with the program thanx for the song but make with the visuals or dont make a video just play the f---kin song

[quarqill]

This song made me a Willie Nelson fan.

[themagicdragon1]

Me too

[djminimoto]

quarquill, the same for me.

[yvonne43yhra]

And yes, then I remember me driving thru Arizona and yes the sky was blue, unbelievable blue.

[asderso]

estedrawn, thank you so much for this perfect version !!

[creatingausernamesux]

after reading some of these comments, i must say, this song brings out the humane side in people

[ocpud2999]

His and jim reeves are my fav versions of the song

[fuhrman66]

nothing but blue skies from now on..

smilin at YOU

[samhain6677]

People can't even listen to a beautiful song like this without arguing?

[mexicany22]

blue skies, got to love willie

[magnabarryb]

I had a girl friend once I love her ,so I killed her it was much easier!

[creatingausernamesux]

ummm..........

[odinata]

i have to tell you....I love this video.

[CarlaMc22]

Beautiful.

My uncle chose this as a funeral song before he passed away from depression. It is nice to think that he wont suffer any longer.

[NikoloskiTomislavMK]

Whenever I am going to hear this song, I will always think about the only true love I had in my life and lost her in the sea of anger and the past. I did not had the courage to face the truth that I will always love her. I lost her and I know that I will never bring her back. I hope that she will have a good life and happiness that she could not have with me. I wish her all the best.

To my love-Biljana Ivanova.

If you ever hear this song, just smile and be happy.

[flamingpumpkinxkcd]

i'm so sorry. oh dear. look at me, all choked up.

[Sp4wn]

Haha, flaming, you're such an ass. HAHA!

[flamingpumpkinxkcd]

i'm sorry, you misunderstand me. I was really crying. I am so so so sorry that i just cry spontaneously. It's hard to explain..........i just...........i cry when i feel sad.

[blackgirlsrhot1]

ur kiddin right?

[flamingpumpkinxkcd]

listen you, i have emotions. Aren't people allowed to feel anything? The guy lost love. Surely that is the worst thing that could happen!?

I am lucky enough to have a love that is going to last.

blackgirlsrhot1, i am sorry that you aren't me. Have some faith, for god's sake. I am human, not a robot. NOT A ROBOT! Society teaches us to be robots, and i fight that, and people love me for it. And if they don't, hell! They aren't my friends!

[Sp4wn]

Oh, I'm sorry... I honestly thought you were just being a total ass. I think everyone has emotions...

[flamingpumpkinxkcd]

thanks for apologizing. maybe i was a bit over-the-top. (looks bashful and embarassed)

sorry.

[Sp4wn]

No problem, I guess I'm the ass in this situation. :P Thank you for accepting my apology :)

[flamingpumpkinxkcd]

Well aren't you sweet! I am glad that this topic could be resolved easily and without harsh words. Peace!

[Sp4wn]

Thank you and peace!

[samhain6677]

fuckin homos

[Sp4wn]

Ohhh... take it easy there, tough guy.

[blackgirlsrhot1]

o.k. we all like this song , but lord must you be gay?

[flamingpumpkinxkcd]

Blackgirlsrhot1:

Does it really matter what my sexual orientation is?

(no i am not homosexual, despite the assumptions you may have made according to my user name.)

[samhain6677]

then why explain what your orientation is?

[najjiu]

This song made me think about all the shit I've missed in my life, When I was 9 my dad died...all I wanted was the chance to see him one more time and say I love you. When I first heard this song I thought about my dad I haven't thought about him in years. people may say that Willie Nelson doesn't use his voice or he sucks, I think this song is amazing and the people who thinks he isn't a good singer or anything like that is just dumb why don't you listen to the words and not his voice!!!!!!!!!!

[mrhomerbojangles]

Willie one of the best.

What a voice. I have been down the road that you have travelled Without doubt your father knew you loved him.

My mum died when I was 12 and I wished the same as you and still do. When my father died I wish I had told him that I loved him more & gave him a hug more, I was 30 years old then. I know for sure my dad knew that I loved him very vewry much.

So here's to the members of our famiies that are no longer with us.

SING IT WILLIE...........

Thanks for sharing

[najjiu]

thanks, I'm sorry about your parents I know my dad knew I loved him but I never said that before he died I actually never even called him DAD I called him by his name "Chris" which was a stupid move...... but thanks..... "to anyone and everyone that has ever lost someone that they truly loved!!!"

[willy4u4u]

this reminds me of road trippin' across my great country with a nice buzz and cool companions..I love willie.

[asderso]

This is WILLIE, pure american relaxed attitude and optimism, big country, big money and big dreams( who most of the times don't come true...)

[ThomasMorton99]

Best version of this song I've ever heard. I feel like I'm in a wonderful kind of calm daydream when I hear it. Beautiful.

[ignorantpom]

Surely not better than Data's?

[7thswan]

I sat in my truck after my Beloved Gramps died,the first song out of the radio was My Way by Elvis then this song. It was his way of telling me he's OK.

[earldog1]

We got songs that were my mom's,in the same way you describe your grandfather.We've had lots of signs,it is thier way of telling us that they are ok,your right!

[gcdcjccc]

willie freaking nelson. american legend

[slycat24]

Great Song!

Great Video!

Take a view of my Real Estate Ad Using the Same Song!

[jaybabo78]

this dude has written so many great songs for other artists. like barry gibb from the bee gees.lives for music, true artist.sounds a bit like rodreguiz.

[ulicegan1]

what a tune, stoned willie!!!

[troy5690]

Yeah. I thought of Rodreguiz when I heard this. Silver Magic ships.

[forresttheman]

what exactly is the video of?

[estedrawn]

just a heat lamp warming and cooling

[forresttheman]

ah, just saw that!

[thecuriousorange]

this song always reminds me of my boyfriend. I love you so much paul sampson

[QQQaliciaQQQ]

My fav. willie nelson song

[bil230660]

I think this is a cover.

[AriesGoddess72]

It is Irving Berlin wrote it.

[godcharon]

what does the great eye command?

[Gfritzy]

Great acustics thanks the live versions are kind of rugged

[estedrawn]

this one is off the 16 greatest hits album. the other really good songs are "on the road again" and "you were always on my mind".they cant be beat,

[kaykatpec]

[betty420]
