Clearly one of Shawn's most known and loved songs, I have cried over it so many times. The comment "He just so feels the music" is dead on perfect, and he invites all of us to feel those feelings as well. If you want more joy in your life, take Shawn's invitation and feel the awesome reality he brings to us all!
sinnersrwinner: Did you get over here? Try paying genuine homage to the man by really listening & then carefully consider what Shawn is saying on many different levels with his voice, his guitar and his lyric. Ripping off the instrumental motif and laying a tired old rap over it does a gross dishonor to the man's genuis.
@moneypenny6 Maybe not invented, but way damn close. He has realized what music truly is, and brilliantly performs music at least as well as any human being has ever done. GREAT COMMENT!
And yes, Scott (AcousticPhases), I love you for trying to cover Shawn, but how could anyone ever top Shawn & Mauritz Lotz doing what they did together on this video?? It leaves me sobbing it is sooooooooooo gooooood!
Thank you very much for your beautiful music!Yesterday ,your show was the best show of my life at Bouch..Your guitar and your voice are fabulous for my heart ! Be happy !
I have had the pleasure to see Shawn twice in a small venue like this and it was the best, I also love playing this song on my guitar but certainly can't hit the notes Shawn does
... and the musi gods will bow.. Shawn is in my top 3 all time favorite singer/ songwriters. I feel blessed that I found him in another time and place in 1971. Another one that can never be duplicated or compared. Shawn, thank you for the stories and haunting melodies. I will cherish them always. Thanks for sharing LD :)
How come its not the same as the one in second contribution???

Not many artists have the power to re-birth one of their own classics...Shawn Phillips has that power
