john prine paradise

[MrAcousticbluegrass]

Makes my dick hard

[bluskyes2006]

need lyrics for those who love and hear some of the songs and words but to know all said gives full impact to the listener. Sound good though-music

[lluviosomo]

Thanks for sharing this, . . . we're lucky to have a back porch video like this of the great John Prine, . . . he makes one proud to be an American, . . . sometimes something that is easier to be ashamed of when some of the corporate greed & related foreign policy misadventures are in focus.

[jfillmore908]

I love this old song; I could play it over and over again.

[jmorris0031]

nice....ol' maywood...i'm from daviess county, not far from paradise....i have a similar connection...growing up, i used to go up to forest park (same school district) as maywood...i was gonna go to school at proviso east but decided to go back down south and follow my roots!!!

[HatesBowen]

I go to a camp called Green River Preserve, and this is practically our theme song. Singing this with hundreds of people is one of the most satisfying feelings ever.

[sbwatson1]

@HatesBowen in NC? I went there as a camper for 5 years and heard the intro to paradise at a concert and i started singing along even though i had no clue how i knew the words. i couldnt for the life of me remember where i had heard it before and all of a sudden it hit me, the GRP. do yall still sing rocky raccoon too?

[tommizzzle]

my dad loves john prine, this song will always remind me of my childhood listening to this with him. love you dad.

[apriloquat]

@tommizzzle My dad sang this song to me when I was a little girl, too.

[MrShayneOneill]

Yo, flip that embed flag dude. I cant post this on facebook :(

[SynapticChaos]

One of the greatest videos ever. Wish there were more like it.

[im4out]

@SynapticChaos ... i'm glad you like...thanks for comment.

[carnut476]

@SynapticChaos This makes two of us ... J . P... HE'S MY MAN .. IF HE CAN'T WRITE AND SING A GREAT SONG -- NOBOBY CAN !!

[sugapablo]

Too bad the Governor of PA (Mr. Corbett) doesn't seem to like this song. :(

[ejr23]

@sugapablo Corbett is a senile old fool just like Harold Camping. He is totally delusional!

[airborne022]

makes miss my home in kentucky sooooooooooooo much

[kidn]

[graysondrummer]

Pure Perfection.

[zelhusker]

It's definitely not Jackson Browne; it's Johnny Burns.

[im4out]

@zelhusker yes..indeed i sent this clip to johnny burns site.......and yes definately him...thanks..

[sedanshaggy]

arac akbar!

[im4out]

I like his comment Stroh's is good too.

[im4out]

@jakerandall123 ..... thanks for watching... the knack are cool ha ha ..

[DammitDrag]

Too fast the places like the Green River are dissapearing, I supose we all had a special place when we were young people. Most were at the end of a dirt road or along a river somewhere.

[IceCreamSteve1]

im going to make a tribute to this great man. true story this man is telling. John Prine!

[tjmangum]

It's John Burns playing with him. He's the son of the famous mandolin player Jethro Burns.

[snarefoot]

thanks EINeedle. very close resemblance.

[snarefoot]

two votes for jackson brown.

[ElNeedle]

@snarefoot I vote for the guy on the left being John Byrnes (sp?). I cheated and found another post of this clip. Just before this cut in this clip begins, John P. says that the other guy is "John Byrnes."

[junioranddude]

@snarefoot Nope. It's Johnny Burns. I know, it's me!

[snarefoot]

isn't that jackson brown?

[im4out]

@snarefoot . i'm not sure who the other guy is.....

[shanks2u]

@im4out

Steve Goodman

[jasonsadrummer]

@snarefoot  Thats got my vote...

[tjmangum]

@snarefoot JP is playing with John Burns, who is the son of the famous mandolin player Jethro Burns. John Burns was a part of Prine's band back then.

[sneak108]

@snarefoot no its not jackson brown. his name is john. if you get the long version of this he says the kids name before they start. he says they better make it big one day or theyll both end up in jail

[junioranddude]

@snarefoot Johnny Burns. I played guitar with John for a long time.

[GreasyCreek12345]

His story is so close to mine. My family is from east Kentucky in Harlan and Leslie couties, and every year we went down to visit the coal comapnies had raped the land a little more. Brings a tear to my eye.

[mypeacelily]

My Daddy and I used to sing this when I was younger. I love this song.

[restinpeacejimi]

3:09 lol!!!

[im4out]

@restinpeacejimi ...lol just like the record..

[GBeret83]

People really don't realize, I think, what a priceless American treasure that John Prine is in music.

[DammitDrag]

@GBeret83 Absolutely correct you are !

[pandabearxtream]

What key is this? I thought it was a full step down but that dosent sound right

[ElNeedle]

@pandabearxtream Hi Pandabearxtreme. My educated guess is that the key is D. D-G-D-A, etc. Not only does it sound like D (admittedly horrible audio), but if you look at the guy on the left at 2.00, it looks like he goes from D to G, as you would do at that point if you're playing it in the key of D. One other observation, you can also play this song in 2 chords, D and A (eliminating G). You have to experiment; it depends on your voice and on how you sing it.

[pandabearxtream]

@ElNeedle Thank you!

[ACEHOLETHIRTEEN]

@ElNeedle Yup. D-G-D-A.

[junioranddude]

@ElNeedle It's in D, I'm the guy on the left and no, I'm Johnny Burns not Jackson Browne!

[inkum08080]

"That pretty close to the fella that sings the song" Perfect thanks im4out!

[inkum08080]

What a beautiful back porch rendition of one of the great American songs. John Prine is one of our real master's of American music. "And empty pop bottles was all we would kill" was a line!

[im4out]

@inkum08080 ain't it funny how an old broken bottle just looks like a diamond ring........nuf said.... : )

[nelsbentson711]

This is the first song I heard john sing at the folk Festival . Said his name and "I wrote this song " and I knew I would hear him many more times !! He looks very young in this . You can hillbilly dance to this song !!!

[nelsbentson711]

This is the first song I heard john sing at the 1st Eureka Springs folk Festival 1973 or so ... Said his name and "I wrote this song " and I knew I would hear him many more times !! He looks very young in this . You can hillbilly dance to this song !!!

[injection1000]

[IceCreamSteve1]

[hudsonvalleymusic]

I saw John Prine visit Levon Helm's Midnight Ramble. John and Levon sang this song together. It was pure magic.

[im4out]

[muleheads]

I have chills

[im4out]

[yourgirlkels88]

I spent my weekend in Muhlenberg County visiting my boyfriend's family. ;)

[FunNotNuts]

John, we need you.

[im4out]
