This is an amazing CD/DVD and I agree with above! He is this generations John Prine, what a cool compararison even if John will always be the master, I think Paul is a close second. His words touch my heart like John Prine's do!
Paul is long over due for being a top rated star in the music industry, but your tops in our hearts man, keep it up Paul, they don't know what the hell their missing!
They say a great writer is a great writer. Meaning, if you can write a great song you could write a great novel. To crowd all of the intriguing words into a pretty song is even harder than what is required to write a good novel. What a mind Paul must have. His songs are not only great music they are captivating stories. I haven't heard a bad one yet.
This song fits my situation perfectley. I thought my world was ending at the time but, I saw him in the store today and I tried to hide behind the check out stand.
Paul thorn has tiger blood, he's epic. lol....I love his style and sound. he has so much feeling. I loved his performance on the Rick Bubba Show. that's a great live video. if you have not seen it, you should look it up on you tube. thanks for uploading. I really enjoyed it. Peace...
@aggressivejhu - Checkout his song, "Things Left Undone" and many, many others are so much better then the crap lame-stream music puts out these days...oops I meant main-stream! Peace
You can tell this man is doing what he loves, and we, his fans, love what he does.....I believe there should be a warning label on his songs...."Caution: Paul Thorn Music is highly Addictive"
this is a pretty damn good song writer we have on our hands here,to bad that trashville looks more at images and numbers instead of talent these days,if he would put on a blonde wig and shake his ass they would promote the hell out of him,anyway hellu'va song and hellu'va song writer.
i'm from Italy and I bought one of his cd on musicboulevard (one of the ancestor of Amazone) on the web in 1999 and I follow his steps during all this years... great singer and great guitar player.... all my compliments
I was introduced to Paul last night as part of the Discovery Series at the Attucks Theater and he was such a treat! My husband and I are now avid fans. He has a fabulous voice, great band and ability to relate life's ordinary challenges in a funny/sad lyrical way. He is so comfortable on stage you begin to feel he's in your living room sharing his songs and unique life's experiences as he freely shares his life. I have always loved John Prine and this guy is right up with him.
Paul Thorn is to never be underestimated.Considering a lot of his repertoire,people may expect all of his songs to just be funny.I know I did.And, even in this song, some elements of it are little silly,but when he really gets into it, you realize that this is a truly heart-wrenching song.It puts the searing pain of losing that special love into simple words.He really is a great talent.
i have now heard this song over a thousand times it honestly just keeps getting better. everything about this song is good the writing the melody the voice and most importantly the meaning i have been telling everybody about paul thorn and i have said many times he is our genarations john prine. i hope the best for this man and his career he is a great story teller and that is something that is not found these days god bless you paul.
@radarlove007 thanks for writing. I know what you mean i find myself lost in this song just listening to it over and over again.And just in case you haven't heard it try his song "thats life" you can tell just by watching him how very powerful a song it is for him(and anyone who hears it) i am truly amazed at his talent. thanks again for the post.
BYGOD!!!,Now thats what it's all about,some one told me once when i first began that a good song would stand up on it's own with nothing more than a guitar,here's the proof
um, could someone in Nashville remove heads from asses and get rid of all the Kenny Chesneys and Carrie Underwoods and replace them with this dude, I mean seriously-devastating talent
I saw him in concert about 7 or 8 yrs ago, he opened for Rascal Flatts and Toby Keith...OMG, I laughed so hard...rushed out and bought his CD right there! FYI, he also sells painting that he does. My favorite songs are: Dogs in Heat; Joanie, the Jevhovah withness stripper. Great stuff
never heard him before..i like him..like Zac Brown. i really like hearing honest country boys writting about simple things we all know a little about..doesnt seem to happen anymore...in it's place we got kenny and toby keith's fake bullcrap..and it's a shame..maybe Hank Jr. should start his own record label. lol
I love the part about collapsing on his Planet of the Apes sheets. I had Batman sheets, but I think my mother thought the whole Planet of the Apes thing was silly, like Batman wasn't...plus Moses and Ben Hur cursing at apes was distressing I'm sure.
This song says is all "If i can get over her i can get over you" It's a song about promise and hope a call to the desperate and heart broken. Love can crush as well as lift. But life goes on!
because people don't know what good music is.96.1 the pig in memphis,search it they play an odd vareity,but they play him and alot of other great music,you can stream it online
my first love just broke up with me yesterday... I cried... then today when i listened to this... i cried some more... Her name was Destiny and she WAS my Destiny... And no matter what i will always love her...
Oh, so true, Paul. "even though she [he] left scars on my heart, time has healed the wounds. If I can get over her [him], I can get over you." SO RIGHT!
Yes we get over those "past loves" .... part of life! Hope you tour. You're
My puppy love crush was a beautiful little girl from across the village where we lived. She had blonde hair and blue eyes. She broke my heart.I hadn't thought of her in ages 'til I watched this. Paul Thorn is a true Southern Original. He'w the best.
Paul isn't a mega star because Nashville only likes pop-crap faggot music anymore. You have to dig deep into the alternative country world to find good music anymore.
@bigchevy80 - Amen to all you said here chevy! So true! I dig for stuff like this all the time....and always manage to find it! One day I'd like to be a promoter for people like Paul!
Paul stated in an interview that he was born in Wisconsin but his family moved to Tupelo when he was an infant ... he could have been born on Mars for all I care, all that matters to me is that his musicianship is awesome.
i down home mississippi guy way to go paul keep following those dreams bro a long way from fighting for money and building furniture huh god blesss you
I lived for a few years in Amory, MS... Had to drive about 15 minutes to buy beer in Nettleton, cuz that wasn't a dry county... I heard Paul Thorn on the radio and have been a fan ever since.
Then you obviously don't know Paul and his music very well...he has said, in many ways, that he regrets having written "It's a Great Day to Whoop Somebody's Ass", and in most venues, chooses not to play it. However, he does realize it's popularity and the success it broght him, and the band.
it takes alot for an artist to get to my soul with there music, paul thorn has touched my heart and soul with his voice and songs. paul you are incredable.
What great sharing from a talented artist.Thank you Eugene for sharing this song with me.I still love the guys I loved back when.I rather had loved than not at all.My heart healed and I still choose to love others.Great song indeed. Thank you for posting and sharing pto.Lisa 5 stars!
