Aint it funny how ya dont really need to be a first class singer to be awesome. John never fails to make the hairs on my arms stand on end! This song is so melancholy, i feel as though im looking at his life through his eyes when i listen to it. The same feeling i get when i hear Chet Atkins singing " Still cant say goodbye". Now thats a propper tear jerker.
@siddyx ...always thought, john , was singing about my problems....and i've got a few....lol..every album...was. for me......but now. i know john ...much too clever..he reached millions......just like a forgotten dream......john's words.....wow.....old people just grow lonesome............magic...
This is perhaps one of the most beautiful renditions of what is perhaps one of the most beautiful songs in the world. Not enough people even know who John is.
saw JP in KCMO last night and have been listening to his music for a long time. As I have aged, this song has changed in its meaning to me. First, it was 'be kind to older people because its a kind thing to do'. Later it's 'these are my aging parents he's talking about' and then finally 'this will be me and all of us eventually'.
I'm a Presbyterian pastor who cares deeply about our aging parishioners. This song gets me right in the gut every time I hear it. Thanks for posting this!
Think of the point as being able to listen to songs such as this one. We'll all have plenty of time not to listen to them when we're dead, so take advantage of the opportunity while we're still breathing.
I don't think we get to decide the point. I think the ones we leave behind get to decide the point. I've had to go on many times where I didn't think I could. There are people today that are glad that I did. I had professional help. Please, reach out to someone. Please, don't think there isn't a point.
brought tears back from all the passing years... i sang this song back in the 80's..saw John and Bonnie in concert.. wow... thank God for memories..Hello in there ya'll!! God bless U
been listening to this song for many years. It has led me to many "new" old friends. John Prine sings the truth. He is so right on about life...now and even 40 years ago.
Went to the nursing home to see my daddy today...this song is always in my head when I go there. I always say "Hello in there" to everyone, even though most of them can't talk back...I can see in their eyes they appreciate a kind word from even a stranger.
@afgreyparrot yes, my friend. my mum was also in a nursing home, for a short while. before she passed away. the nursing staff always said hello in there to her every day..... and also hello in there to me every time i visited. such wonderful people.......
@afgreyparrot In makes a big difference to those in need of a little light in there life.It does get very lonely when your at the end of your life and in poor health.Evet little bit helps.
went to a John Prine and Arlo Guthrie concert eons ago and still am pissed off at arriving and finding out that Guthrie was the headliner. about 30 minutes of Prine and what seemed like 3hours of Alice's Restaraunt. Prine is no doubt the most literate ex-mailman on the planet
Thanks to the one posting this. John and Iris were near me, up in Sioux City IA here just a month ago, but I thought I had to be here instead. Having this here is some compensation, I still got the chills when he had finished the song.
always tickle the keyboard for this song when i have dialed all the numbers in my little black book,,,and voicemail is my only companion 2 night....mr prine,,i thank you...
i grew up listening to john prine....wont ever stop! love him and love how his music and lyrics make me remember, make me cry, make me laugh.... I WILL ALWAYS BE a John Prine Fan!!
at last! proper footage with a tripod! Highly enjoyable, subdued arrangement with a lot of space and with the vocal and acoustic guitar firmly in the front seat.
I first heard this song on Bette Midler's "Live from Cleveland" in the 1970's... it ripped my heart apart and left me soaked with tears... ever since then I've tried to make eye contact with old people, greet them, smile at them... as I look in the mirror these days I realize, soon I will be "old people"... will you do the same?
@lochridgegirl ...you know......i've been listening to this song for about forty years.....i'm sixty now.......and guess what.......i think it's the young folk that need a hello in there.........and that's the truth......take it easy...lochridgegirl......and thanks for comment...
@lochridgegirl I sang this song in a raspy off-key voice in a performance school in Big Sur ten years ago and the song itself made it a success- it has guided my thoughts and actions since high school toward all people, and I love it so...
Saw John In Wausau WI a while back - this song always brings a tear to my eye one of the best - GREAT show that Jason fellow is one of the best pickers i have ever heard -
We have an old guy in his 80s here in Stevens Point wi who goes around on a tricycle collecting aluminum cans - I always roll down the window and give him a shout
Hey Willie - he smiles an waves sometimes - then I simle too its nice
@getnospamm ...I have been to every one of his concerts at The Grand Theater in Wausau, and taken my daughters to the last two.. His music touches me, and right now, I NEED someone to say "hello to ME..
Finally! A decently video of John Prine. This and Lake Marie are the only ones of any quality. Why doesn't someone tell John Prine that all the other crappy concert videos don't do him or his music justice? Let's get a ton more like this one online, NOW!
@dotubeinn ...hey, thanks for comment.....me, i'm kinda terrified if this gets too popular some big suit from a record co. will try and take it down......but then i remember oh boy records is john,s.......so hopefully this will stay........
Thank God for John Prine and his willingness to share his brilliance with us, unlike Bob Zimmerman Dylan( what a prick), Yknow Henry Ford invented the car but never took it off UTube. I don't know what Dylan's problem is but it's certainly not that people didn't buy his albums,,,,,Fuck you Robert, and you sucked in "The Last Waltz".
@purveyor24 ...well, jim, i'm sure your comments are gonna upset a few people....ha ha ha ...but your about john's willingness to share...... me... i got problems with sony and waener bros...greedy bastards....as if they haven't took enough money of us ever the years.......anyhoo have a nice day...
my best friesn first heard this song at14, she said from the time she heard John prine sing this song she was so touched she had to say hello to every old person that she know was alone. She just passed away this week at the age of 55. I will alway remember this througt her . Thank you to John prine for touching a 14 year old with such a profoung message
my gram passed away right at a year ago. She basically went down hill about 6 months prior, and she didn't know any family or friends anymore. I used to visit her and would play this song. She would smile and look at me as if she knew this song was about her. Would break my heart, but was something I would do for her every chance I got.
Hello out there to everyone! Good to see everyone remembers. I'll be taking my big ole Great Pyr to the Nursing Home later because of this song today.
Beautiful song.John Prine is a very talented writer/singer who unfortunately is not widely known.Thanks to the Marty Stuart Show I discovered John Prine.
Hearing this 36 years ago changed my way of seeing old people.As a younger person I think I was like many who are afraid that it will happen to them,its a youthful denial.Just a smile to a person who really is there is a great help.
@RasMajnouni You sure got that right, I like to go play music at nursing homes, watch them old folks smile, there ain't no better feeling in the world, yeah I've been listening to John since the early 70s myself. good to see he has changed a lot of peoples lives just with his words and music!
@rickatica That just might be the best way of easing an old person's pain. I can't play anything but I know people who go and do that here in Israel.That which you do is giving spiritual life from yourself to others. G-D Bless You!!!
Wow, this sure brings back memories. I was working in a resort in the Rockies during the summers when I first heard this. We played this album all the time in the restaurant and gift shop. Good times - more than 25 years ago now, it was. Love John Prine - thanks a million for the upload!
I NEVER MISSED HIM WHEN HE CAME TO ROANOKE, VIRGINIA.............EVERY SHOW WAS A GREAT ONE...REMEMBER A GUY SAYING OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN...ALMOST TO THE POINT OF RUINING THE SHOW (IF THAT'S POSSIBLE) I CAN''T BELIEVE IT..i CAN'T BELIEVE IT...IT REALLY IS JOHN PRINE....AFTER A LOT OF THIS...JOHN JUST LOOKED AT HIM AND SAID......BELIEVE IT !!!!! LOL......GUESS YA WOULD HAVE HAD TO HAVE BEEN THERE!!!!!
i AM 50.........THIS IS MUSIC TO MY EARS..BUT ......I REMEMBER BEING 20 AND HEARING THIS SONG AND CRYING THINKING HOW LONELY THOSE PEOPLE MUST BE AND HOW MR. PRINE HAD SANG IT SO TRUE WITH HIS WORDS AND MUSIC...........NOW I AM HERE...MY KIDS ARE GROWN AND I AM ALONE...WAITING FOR SOME ONE TO LOOK PAST THESE HOLLOW EYES AND JUST SAY HELLO!!!!!!!!!!!
John Prine has been a fav of mine for over 30 years. Anyone holding grudges against their parents for wrongs real or imagined... give it up, get over it and reconcile before it is too late. Tell them Hello in there!
Saw JP, here in the great Midwest city of Clear Water, about a month ago and it was great. I especially enjoyed this song - he and his band nailed it.
Pure Prine......pet my Dog to this song...Blackjack (his name ) seems to understand why I shed tears thruout this song....Sometimes I think Blackjack is just trying to say Hello in There.
rolling stone does those issues about the 100 greatest songs. this should be in the top ten. i've listened to it for over forty years and it never gets old. yes, the sixties was about great music and john prine was one of the best
this is one of the greatest songs of all time. i've been listening to it for about forty years and it never gets old. john may not be as prolific as some but at his best he can't be beat.
I like his feelings an emotions in this song i remember hearing this song when i was 13 yrs old back in the 70s an i loved it then it was being sung by someone else now ive finally heard the original beautiful
What was really interesting is that all the comments (save a few) were about themselves and their lives; nothing to do with what the songs were really talking about in the first place. God Bless the world for John Prine.
Aint it funny how ya dont really need to be a first class singer to be awesome. John never fails to make the hairs on my arms stand on end! This song is so melancholy, i feel as though im looking at his life through his eyes when i listen to it. The same feeling i get when i hear Chet Atkins singing " Still cant say goodbye".

I have been a Prine fan since the 70's. Been playing his tunes on my own guitar since then we have aged, the songs have held their own.

John Prine has been a fav of mine for over 30 years. Anyone holding grudges against their parents for wrongs real or imagined... give it up, get over it and reconcile before it is too late. Tell them Hello in there!

Saw JP, here in the great Midwest city of Clear Water, about a month ago and it was great. I especially enjoyed this song - he and his band nailed it.

One of the most moving songs ever. I've been a Prinehead since 70's. This song always brings tears and as I get older, means more and more to me.
Hello in there.
PEACE

rolling stone does those issues about the 100 greatest songs. this should be in the top ten. i've listened to it for over forty years and it never gets old. yes, the sixties was about great music and john prine was one of the best

this is one of the greatest songs of all time. i've been listening to it for about forty years and it never gets old. john may not be as prolific as some but at his best he can't be beat.

What was really interesting is that all the comments (save a few) were about themselves and their lives; nothing to do with what the songs were really talking about in the first place. God Bless the world for John Prine.
