At My Window Sad and Lonely

[SartoriTaurus]

Thumbs up is 'the strangers' got you here :)

[virbius1]

Its funny how this song sounds better whenever you hear it

[lynus111]

3 people are sad and lonely without this song.

[jeremybiggs]

3 people have lost their minds

[Officefreak22]

anyone now where the really slow version that was in The Strangers can be found??

[bigboylilmomma]

This song describes my life

[jifigz]

This is the original version. The first time this song was ever recorded was on Mermaid Ave.

[cromlek]

this song once destroyed me. I would drink every nite and play it over and over and over when my girl ran off with another man...funnily enuff she ran away on a boat.>>>>>> Bitch!

[kickback4me]

@cromlek sorry to hear that u ok now ?

[311donnieg]

@kickback4me so glad to see an anonymous person show compassion for another anonymous person on the internet for once

[kickback4me]

@311donnieg thanks ; ) sadly there isn't enough compassion in the world is there?

[keton0909]

does anyone know where i can find the version thats on the strangers, is it by the same people????

[gemzee82]

The Strangers said it was on their soundtrack but i dont remember hearing it (:

[bucsfan56]

@gemzee82

it was the acoustic version and it was when she put on the records , it wasnt on too long

[Tunnelof]

Great

[Lotusflowerism]

It's such a shame many of the more brilliant artists had mental health issues. Strangely though, it has some direct correlation with the creativity of those individuals.

Guthrie had several divorces in his life. Hope he rests in peace now. I think he would be happy with what Bragg and Wilco did with his work.

[kathleencarson]

@Lotusflowerism mental health is very debilating but also brings out the best of creativity. Luckly for the rest of us. Would it be wrong to say, with all the agony that mental health brings to those afflicted, there are those of us that benifit from that creativity. We all suffer from some form of mental health issues and we need to begin to understand that our lives would be much poorer without people who by design think differently that the NORM. I for one feel richer

[AllyBScot]

@kathleencarson  Aye thats the way it is. Thanks for posting.

[clemep]

I knew of Billy previously, back in his solo career (he had many great albums)...a friend of mine showed me this album..and frankly, I'm blown away...this album kicks so much ass...

[amirper2000]

i really know this feeling of this song

[thagoode03]

Every horror or suspense movie has its obvious DUH parts that make it in whole- a movie. The bedroom scenes where the dude has a loaded shotty and is quivering at girls in masks is the most DUH ive ever seen. So much so that theres no way under god that is one of the best horror movies not even close!

[bucsfan56]

i found the original on myspace music, its on with the guitar, its way more sad.

[imtuffgrrr]

@bucsfan56

That's actually a live recording for the promo of the album it's on (Mermaid Avenue). I wish it was the version on the album because I like it a lot better.

[bucsfan56]

@imtuffgrrr

its also on limewire, its redicuously sad but i cant stop listening to it.

[jckid1311]

I'm pretty sure this is the original. Even though it says it's a cover in the description I think Guthrie wrote the lyrics and Bragg and Wilco recorded the music for it.

[foundcausemiscreant]

anyone have the original version, I can't find it anywhere?

[Mugsycache14567]

This is it. Guthrie never recorded the songs. Just wrote the lyrics. Bragg was approached by Guthrie's daughter(?) with some of Woody's unused lyrics and said, 'would you like to put them to music'? This is not an actual quote. Bragg asked Wilco to join in. Checkout DVD/video Man in the Sand.

[rambleonrose93]

its like how the dropkick murpheys adapted his unused lyrics for im shipping up to boston

[AndyCZ15]

strangers is one of the best horor movie of this age ...

[allezlizzie]

Hey I agree with The Strangers comment, just finished watching it, which was what got me listening to this song

[Frankieireland]

That film was shockingly shit wasn't it. You just feel like shouting at the guy to keep shooting anything that comes through that door!!!!!!! Really bad.

[reaction123]

haha cheers

[newfport]

I drove up to Coney Island and took a pic of this house. This is one of my fav albums all time. Also took a pic of 461 Ocean Boulevard in Miami. Eric Clapton Album. I know I'm a loser, but it's sucha rush when Ur there. HOLLA !!!!!

[smoke117]

Only good thing about the movie 'The Strangers' was that this song was played...

[ZachTFLd]

Yeah, but it uses the other (better) version doesn't it?

[brendongomez]

This song is the reason why i love alt country!

[Tedleo875]

Don't ever fall in love with a girl knowing she has to leave the country a year later.  I wonder if that's what happened to Mr. Guthrie.

[chubbs8887]

yea we can hear the lyrics you dont have to write them out

[Pokerboy12345]

[damonnh]

I like the gangsta Woody Guthrie fan

[gambitista]

That might be the funniest thing i've ever seen.

[CorieMae]

I am in love with this song.

[jenesaispas82]

At my window sad and lonely Oft times do I think of thee Sad and lonely and I wonder Do you ever think of me? Every day is sad and lonely And every night is sad and blue Do you ever think of me my darling As you sail that ocean blue? At my window sad and lonely I stand and look across the sea And I, sad and lonely, wonder Do you ever think of me? Will you find another sweetheart In some far and distant land? Sad and lonely now I wonder If our boat will ever land

[jenesaispas82]

Ships may ply the stormy oceans

Planes may fly the stormy sky

I'm sad and lonely but remember

I will love you till I die

[contrarymary77]

Thanks!

[davis267]
