A beautiful 'home movie' of the greatest song about aging ever written. I'm sure John would be proud of this and I hope he's seen it. The song was always full of imagery and this captures it as I think we all see it. I've been trying to play this song for twenty years and all the faithful and heartfelt versions of it on youtube inspire me to keep trying. Thankyou guys and thanks to John Prine, a master storyteller.
@PhilBaird1 Thank you Phil. Comments like this keep us all going. Ian's guitar is impeccable on this, he truely has the roll down. And I just tried not to screw it up. This one was important to do "the best possible" and we are pretty proud of it too. Like you say, I hope John thinks it is alright. Keep practicing and post something...I am sure the love that you have shared will be returned.
Thanks Ian. It is my favorite of all of the videos that I have posted. It came from a place I have trouble getting to...I wish I had mixed it a little differently, the piano is too loud and the guitar and vocal are too soft but you know what they say about hindsight. I am glad that you think that it is okay.
I just had to come back and listen and watch this video again guys. I love the music you two put together on this John Prine timeless classic. The imigry was very well thought out and put together with tenderness and care. the vocals were spot on and the of course Jordon still needs to teach me how to play the guitar for this song, lol
This is really an extraordinary collab and one of the most touching songs I've heard. Magnificently performed and produced. Brian, I've been watching your Prine covers and I saved this for last. Now I'm glad I did.
Thank you very much Jan from Ian (jordanthecat) and myself. This song has always meant a lot to me. Ian and I enjoyed every minute of putting this video together. Also, thanks for all of your viewings of my vids.!!! I can't wait to get over to your channel and return the favor.
I love the way you two colabbed on this classic. Jordon does this song proud on the style of pick'n and cef, what can I say, vocals are excellent. Everytime I listent to this song I feel saddened yet hopeful, sad because of the way we treat our elders and hopeful that the world will change. Prine has touched deeply at the epitimy of human society with this song.
AP - Ian and I both thank you for this excellent comment . John really hit the nail on the head with this timeless gem. And to think he wrote it at such a young age is mind-boggling.
Another beautiful collab here ... I must say that this was one of my favorite tunes as performed by the Divine Miss M ... I saw/heard her sing it many years ago and never looked upon old people quite the same way anymore.
The voice on this is perfect ... the playing just beautiful! Thank you for this treat!
I am certianly glad that you liked this too. Ian's guitar work on this was my inspiration...it is impeckable. The piano parts were done with the love that this song deserves. Thank you very much for such a kind comment.
and i like your singing a lot more and i'm totaly honest ...
your voice is so mellow and sensitive
and you sing with a lot of soul ...
and the keyboards add a lot
i think strings would have been a perfect addition for the song ... like as the song progresses strings come in ... but anyway great collab you guys did there
Wow Williams I am really touched by this comment. We worked hard to make sure this was good out of respect to the songwriter, and wonderful song. Ian's guitar is impeckable and I tried hard to get it right. Thank you very much for the very noce compliment. brian
This is such a beautiful song and with the photo's another super Collaboration.
*****
enjoyed this very much so tranquil, beautiful guy's
Regards Glenn :)
