John Prine - In Spite of Ourselves

[cealina123]

Gotta love our family

[rogers76569]

The movie was "Daddy and Them" John Prine, Andy Griffith, Laura Dern, Billy Bob Thornton

[bigemoney31]

What movie was this in besides the one John Prine was in with Billy Bob Thorton? Can't quite put my finger on it...

[NiggaWiddaAttitude]

Reminds me of me n the ole lady :)

[vickideco]

love this song!

[lunasco23]

I was always bumping in to this song while looking for 'In spite of all the danger'. So I thought why not check it out and wow how "vulgar" it may all be explained, this is one beautiful song =O

[alexiskarle]

This song was my buddy MATTY'S favorite song. RIP my train hopping buddy miss you!

[Johnnybswell25]

thats how "Beautiful" sounds!!!



[3rddonnert]

This is true love right here.

[michaelb5e2]

John Prine has pretty much written the songtrack to my life,thank You ,my friend

[GoldenPig2012]

John Prine: brilliant, hilarious songwriter, a voice that makes you feel you are home. Love him!

[KrazyKris78]

Prine is a melodic and lyrical genius. Definately up there with dylan and the other super songwriters. Prine is raw and real, truly authentic, gritty and genuine....

[iamthehangedman]

lol i love this guy :) played at my sisters weddin, great guy

[bumblebeesnbutterfly]

Sammys song!! Hes the best!!

[MrPeterified]

Molly and I will be playing this song as a theme kind o'thang at our special day... keeping life simple and sweet

[Inserthalopunhere]

How'd the wedding turn out?

[judeyorke]

I was going to write something....but in spite of myself, I was dumbfounded by this mans taent and passion. Guess I ended up writing something afterall.

[apple1312ster]

"In spite of ourselves."-Love it

[LastStandforLiberty]

I think it's from an album that's actually called "In spite of ourselves."

John Prine albums seem hard to find in my area. :(

[jodyjonesusa]

@LastStandforLiberty Try ebay! :)



[genecorrado]

It is not on Sweet Revenge, which is nevertheless a great album. This is from a Movie soundtrack.

[jaslinc1]

Never mind. It's Iris DeMent alright, found the several other videos, great stuff.

[jaslinc1]

I checked all the msgs and no citation of the dear woman collaborator (does sound like June Carter). My guess is Iris deMent (whoever did Misguided Angel).

Does anyone know for sure, I never got hold of this album. (Cover alone worth price)

[lovingjah1056]

hey JD Pink, can I see your new wife for an hour?

[MckyMseNTarotCrds]

Maybe I'm over-thinking here, but if she "gets on on like the Easter Bunny", and he "ain't been laid in a month of Sundays", doesn't that kind of imply she's screwing around on him?

[TheOnelove1116]

@MckyMseNTarotCrds lol never thought of it that way but thats gotta be it

[Spocchio]

add lyrics please!!

[pnkexplosion]

lovebug junkie



[Kezzawalsh]

I don't know why i like this song, its too country but its cute in an odd way

[mr01ic]

If I could choose a time to live would be the year 1950 and in america

[Taffypoison]

If the Moldy Peaches ever check in here --  lay libations at the doorstep of the oracle, bow down and thank Mr. Prine for the gitty-up. You stand on the shoulders of a giant. No matter though , god bless. America was founded on this and you. This will only get you more hits, tags, I s'pooooooooose. Mad Libs the best I say.

[Coleen1960]

gotta that picking..great voice.

[Jakeman1260]

raven cooper does a great cover of this song

[TheThespatalian]

true that. prine and a bowl pack go together like zevon and duchovny

[MandolinforJesus]

@TheThespatalian until you wake up and your fifty, burnt out and voting democrat : D I kinda like John Prine too, just messing with you.

[dansonlylove]

[23millsey]

at my old job me and my friend used to listen to the song

[thomasmoredamian]

Oh, JOY! Just rediscovered Prine, and am downloading his tunes like a nervous rabbit!

[thomasmoredamian]

Are there better songwriters than this feller? NO.

[Mr7CRJ]

Started listening to John in the early 80s. A TRUE friend of mine put dusty old albums on a dusty old turntable, the sound was terrible, I never heard better! Over the years we drank beer sat around campfires and did our best to sing and play John's songs. I NEVER tired of listening to the same songs over and over. My friend has "cashed in" but I still listen to JP, sometimes getting a tear in my eye when no-one is watching.

[mitchey6627]

fuck

[alaskanman123456]

love the song

[davemann36]

Love this song, but this song wasn't on this album...was recorded 36 years later

[keefe2007]

a song about real love in real life.

[ciara1137]

[millzee]

This song sings so true for so many of us. Maybe we could all get our shit together in spite of our selves. Kicked the ex to the curb 3 times and she still calls me . She is looking for love in all the wrong places, best of luck.

[dengie75]

[shootitifitmoves]

MANDY

[Ingram011]

Wonderful !

By the way, this whole song sounds to me like it was written by Hank Williams...

[rudobuquadrant]

heard this for the first time. what a great song. and i listen to death metal mostly

[hulksmash72]

John Prine, what can I say? Outstanding.

[jpkimball]

I love this song. Listen to it often just for fun.

[spurnthemuse]

I think his forebears were carpetbaggers and Indians. He sounds southern, but he doesn't think southern. SPURN THE MUSE!!

[tickie69]

this song makes me think of my babie brandi i love you babie

[sweetbabyjane50]

This is the song me and my boyfriend had until he went back to his wife and broke my heart. The only man I ever loved..........

[kcgiz]

shouldnt mess around with married men...........they go back to their wives

[SuperJohnburke]

[morgiexx13]

[vorgstrom]

[rainbowloki]

[mdepew]

@rainbowloki, nope....maybe a girl to hang with all the while...

[codswolp]

@rainbowloki whats a bowl pack ?

[kitterniner]

@rainbowloki yessssss you got the right idea :)

[MTV736jackass]

anal

[jjcts93]

[johndeerpink2009]

ur sitting there with a girl who plays music and she could care less about prine word of advice ditch her:)) im getting married in 2 weeks and this song is being played right before our wedding vows its fits me and my hunny perfect

[xxpixieswishxx]

@johndeerpink2009 awwwh cute:)

[cookcameron]

John is the best! But some people just dont know how great his songs are. Im sitting here with a girl that plays music and she can care less about prine songs. dam dont get.

[ianrota93]

i hear that.... realistic and romantic in that akward way

[egraves1]

I might be out of line here, but I think it's safe to say that this is the MOST realistic love song ever.

[purveyor24]

To egraves1....I might be out of line here, but I think it's safe to say that, and unaware of your gender, that THAT may be the MOST perceptive comment made on this subject.....thank you.

[darlenetobin39]

:] I Love This <3

[Damico07]

this is my wedding song.....no joke

[gkalieb]

this song rocks

-michaela

[limewire1433]

yeah it does rock..

[shanester08]

this song remind me of my mom and dad

[Finocchi0]

I agree, John is a national treasure. How can he take simple language and make it profound? How can he make up phrases and they don't make sense and you understand them? Like: "on the wrong end of a broom", "had to scrub a parkin' lot down on my knees", "Christ, I'm so mixed up and lonely, I can't even make friends with my brain"

[dano4734]

John Prine is a National Treasure

Thank you so much for all the music

God Bless

Dan

[rfish54]

John Prine is such a wonderful master of words and tunes. We all should listen to what he says in his songs while we enjoy his great tunes. There is lots being said by John Prine. If we could only figure it out!

[cflonnes]

OMG! doesn't that look like crawdad? this song is sooooooooo funny.

[Jogimama]

The real love song

[Chistine1969]
