Ry Cooder Paris, Texas

[randwan]

Great combination with the pictures. The open space of route 66 goes so well with all the space in Cooder's music. Brilliant.

[HayDavo5]

poor native Americans

[thebluemax100]

I much appreciate these vidios that are instrumental. You see I can't play. So I place my m.p. player on the table; play the vidio and record my verses. save the recordings and have my song backed up by the greats like Ry Cooder. I wish I could thank him personally

[thefriendlyfinger69]

we are being talked about by a ry cooder website in germany.....making many of our new customers German. we didn't know about ry cooder, but made it a goal to learn a lot about him since he is the reason for the website that is manned by a person who is helping our business grow. thank you for this video. a slide guitarist we know told us about the cd and now we can preview the music from it before buying it.

[tokkeification]

Not bad at all, maybe one of the best from Cooder

Greetings from Holland

[cbergantz]

Up yours, I used my thumb to cross this country from Santa Cruz 2 times, to go illegally to Cuba...Ry Cooder rocks, and the Social Club too

[louthleviathan]

Whoever "disliked" this is mad! A wonderful piece of music with a brilliant compilation of images - thank you for sharing this :)

[Nuxaalk]

Awesome music, and thank you for this wonderful photo montage. It's perfect and mesmerizing at the same time. Bravo.

[martillo1970]

Cuando era un chaval escuchaba esta sintonía como intro de un programa de TV en España y me encantaba el minuto escaso que sonaba al principio y al final de cada emisión.

Es hipnótica, sugerente y brillante. Excepcional.

[0Natashaizere1]

What a Spinnnnnnnn {{{ smiles }}} totally amazing thankyou.

[dicmac1953]

Great compilation of photos to of course an amazing track by the incomparable Ry.

Nice one!

[deRulsZ]

fucking amazing

[1973rscott]

@deRulsZ support my campaign to stop the "F" word being used as an indiscrimanate adjective. I have nothing against swearing. Just against poor use of swearing.

[shookfoil]

These photos are stunning and fit like a hand to glove to Ry Cooder's plaintive, spare, and haunting music. Don't when I've enjoyed a video this much. I doff my hat to you.

[trukkastanleyJ]

What twonk hit the dislike button?

[Yoerinagtzaam]

beatifull sound

[seamus1915]

Good job with the compilation of both still photos and the Ry Cooder piece. I have ridden my Harley along these roads in the Southwest, as well as Oklahoma and Texas. Makes me want to get back on the Mother Road again.

[MultiMusicfan99]

Outstanding match of mood, music, and image. Thank you.

[djomlass]

Great pictures!

[Dukarius]

Indeed! Wonderful pictures nicely set to the music.

[trebange]

Wow! Sensational!

[cosmicrider287]

bravo!you did an excellent job on this!

[CrAzYMaN12121]

A stranger came from the desert. His skin was leather and worn and his clothes were that of dust and wind. He was a redman, a native American, an Indian, I asked him "who are you?", and he replied "I am no one, I am a wanderer, a traveller, a stranger. I come from the wastes, where time has no meaning, because time cannot change a land where nothing is already is. I was born in the wastes, and I will die in the wastes, as if my time was nothing."

[FriedEggsWithChips]

@CrAzYMaN12121 Where is that quote from?

Or did you write it yourself? I like it. :)

[CrAzYMaN12121]

@FriedEggsWithChips Yep, I indeed wrote it myself......... 5 months after I get a reply lol

[aronmore1]

Ry Cooder at his best...Its a haunting atmospheric album, really does compliment the movie so well...The Stones wanted him, but he said NO THANKS...So we've been able to enjoy so much more from him over the years...For me Ry Cooder and J.J. Cale epitomises 'Greatness'.

[nebudkadnezar]

Thanks for your nice comment. And thanks to all the other people too, who like this video and gave their nice comments.

[shinystones]

@nebudkadnezar Fabulous!! It just takes you there!

[maxdman]

Watched the film this evening, what a brilliant film, really touching and, of course, Ry Cooder impresses as always.

[thegaiastone1]

Just Class!!!!!

[camel1945]

Very nice video,thanks!

[sweetlittlesister]

Genius. Perfection. The soul is happy to hear. Thanks for blending the 3 songs into this masterpiece

[nosdrva]

anyone knows any similar songs to this one?

by searching bottleneck i only get delta blues videos, but im looking for slow slide guitar songs like this one (preferably without lyrics) and cant find a single one...

[D0UW3ee]

@nosdrva U need to search for blue grass or bottle neck. Try slide blues

[nosdrva]

@D0UW3ee tried those already didnt find anything quite similar to this, but thanks anyway

[maxmadison702]

@nosdrva this song is actually a tribute to one of the greatest slide players of all time, Blind Willie Johnson, and this is his version of BWJ's "Dark was the Night", so start there

[nosdrva]

@maxmadison702 thanks a bunch!

[maxmadison702]

@nosdrva also check out skip james' "hard time killing floor blues" as well as "cherry ball blues", also rev. gary davis' "death has no mercy in this land" is truly bone chilling

[camel1945]

Very nice thanks!

[uchalon]

Potente!!!

[barclosed]

that was good

[tom27j]

did ry record this on an acoustic or a resonator?? anyone know?

[Gary1497]

@tom27j, according to his guitar tech Rick Turner he's almost 100% certain that Ry used a 1950's 000-18 Martin to record the theme from Paris Texas.

[Cosmickey86]

Yeah great work with the photo montage really compliments the music.

[carlos86902]

No podía ser más acertada la BSO, con el inicio de la película... un largo paseo por el desierto.

[cece33372]

freedom

[UrAtotalDumbass714]

Im from Paris, Texas and this song fits!

[TheBigDelicious]

Paris, Texas is my favourite film. The Ry Cooder score resonates with the fabric and emotion of Wim Wender's oeuvre.

Thank you for presenting it here.

Peace and harmony to you, friend in this space.

[Mokhas45]

I feel like I wanna be in these wide open spaces...the photo montage and this beautiful music allows me that.

Thank you for this nice work :-)

[bagsley03]

outstanding and amazing



[altobiotero]

Simply great... Like the chill i feel from head to toe watchin' this... Thanx !!

[dale3858]

@altobiotero Great movie!!!

[kortes1975]

Ambient work !!!

[campoyize]

Nice photo montage, but specially amazing pictures man! You got that touch.

I posted a video response with a photo montage that this video inspired me to do, with some of the main things you go through when driving old route 66. I hope you don´t mind, but if you do i´ll delete it as soon as you tell me.

[wildcats2012]

Absolutely haunting...............

[eekamoose]

Breathtakingly good montage, absolutely worthy of being put to Ry Cooder's superb music!!!

[xEclipzinfernoHD89]

anybody know what the instruments are at the start of the song before the guitar kicks in

[EwolDJ]

@xEclipzinfernoHD89 I'm no sound engineer but I can hear a marimba and some chimes, and perhaps a bass string being tickled lightly but highly amplified, and it's been processed in the mix somehow. I had a hold of the soundtrack disc at one stage and I think I recall the instruments are all detailed there if you want to track it down.

[RichAdams21]

Most of the still photo montages set to music on youtube are lame but this is outstanding. Thank you.

[nebudkadnezar]

@RichAdams21 Thank you all for your nice comment.

[scrgto]

The most hauntingly beautiful soundtrack and movie. EVER.

[JanRikardov]

Simply unreal.....amazing tune

[oski48v]

Dear Mr. Wenders want to see more often in the media, what happens in this hostile world of crap?

[bagsley03]

The song is Awsome XD

[fenlandfolly]

Thank you for sharing this. '66' One of the worlds great routes now bypassed by interstate highways and now only used by foreign tourists mostly.

[spiderlockhart]

[PEYIAKID]

I was a big fan of Ry and this collage of rout 66 and Monument valley rekindles this, I will never go to the US now but dear God I wished I had!! great stuff Mr Cooder.thought provoking and nice work poster

[perdide]

where is this version from? the one on my paris, texas OST is only 3 mins long

[nebudkadnezar]

@perdide That's right, but I took the first two tracks from the soundtrack to make this clip a little bit longer.

The first piece is called, Paris,Texas and the second one is called "Brothers".

[uwebde]

Stretching, Bottleneck playing, Bending at Goitar - It´s so fucking cool !

Best for my funeral !

Honest I mean.

Wow. Simply stunning. I've loved this movie & soundtrack for well over 25 years and this is the most accurate interpretation of what I see in my head when I listen to the soundtrack. A most oustanding achievement.
