willie nelson developed his own style of singing softly and deeply with emotion. His soul is into every song, even the rainbow connection. His delivery is very soothing and relaxing, I could use this song as a sleep tape, it is that comforting. Beautiful job Willie, I know that you did it because you liked it as I do. signed, someone your age.
the dude that has his arm up "kermit" did the singing, same as Elmo... People behind the scenes dont get much talk about... Song stuck in my head for years.. I know i am not the only one!!
@QENZORE11 Jim Henson himself was the original voice of Kermit. Sadly missed; a huge gift to American culture, and especially to America's children and the children of the world. I put him on a part with Dr. Seuss.
My mother said she met Willie Nelson himself at a bar at Sturgis many years ago. He sat down and spoke to my mother and her best friend for at least 45 minutes. She said he was the most genuinely kind, respectful, and wise person she'd ever met. He didn't even leave that booth until his bodyguard tapped his shoulder and told him he had to get to his bus. So he shook my mother's hand and her best friend's too and they took a picture together. She said she'd never forget meeting a legend like him.
Wowzers. I wouldn't have thought anybody could do it better than Kermit but I think Willie actually does. This is a truly special video and watching it just made my day. Thank you for yet another amazing recording Willie!!!!
@JusticieroBurning You obviously have no life if you spend your day going around youtube and posting OLD GAY on great songs that should be exposed to your generation so you can know what real music is instead of crap like green day and etc.
@JusticieroBurning You obviously have no good taste in music, it is a really touching song. If you don't like it, that's cool, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but going around posting insults on them just proves you are an immature kid.
read about the Antakharana also called the "rainbow bridge", the bridge to Valhalla in Norse mythology is also called a rainbow bridge........ this song is about the afterlife... not about 2 lovers.... it's a song about metaphysics and the afterlife..... Somewhere over the Rainbow is OZ.... same thing.... the ppl who write these songs know what they mean.... most of their listeners do not know what they are about....
@420protoman actually Paul Williams and Kenneth Ascher wrote the Rainbow connection in 1979 for the Muppets Movie. The Carpenters covered the song in 1981.
When you hear something like this the world just stops. You may have problems, everybody does, but this is just pure magic, right before you're very eyes.
could you imagine walking thru a park and finding Willie Nelson hanging out, playing guitar? what would you do? i personally would cancel the rest of my day and sit at the feet of a Legend, absorbing whatever he had to share.

@jbreezy0420 Now that would have been good. Kermit in the pool playing banjo. Ha! Ha! Far Out! I do have both versions ( Sad, i know! Im a Kermit fan too) Ill try that, mix both together, see how it gos. Kermit an Willie? Willie an Kermit? When Kermit met Willie? Ha! Ha! What the hell, this is going to be fun. All the best. Karl.
I recant my comment about Willie being an old burned man. I meant no disrespect to him in any nor wished to upset anyone on this site. I think Willie's music is wonderful art that I believe the lack there of would make the world a much darker and drabber place. He is ADVANCED in years, but DEFINITELY not burned out!!!!
I apologize from the bottom of my heart WIllie. :o)
@anelote11 yes you're right,its logical ye ^^ but watch snoop dogg feat willie nelson-superman in this video,Willie Nelson plays this same guitar in live performance and a cable putted to guitar... i dont know :D
@anelote11 He has played with that guitar, and only that guitar, for over 40 years. He said if the IRS had taken away Trigger, the name of the guitar, he would have never played again.
@anelote11 Just cause a guitar has a hole in it doesn't mean it can't make a good sound. This is the only guitar Willie ever plays, as far as I know. Don't be cynical.
how cool would it be to be sitting in a park and have Willie walk by with his guitar? i can only dream that someday such a privilege is granted to me, it is not too often in this life when you are afforded the chance to sit at a Living Legends feet and absorb what he has to share that day.
Rainbows symbolize many things.For one, a rainbow symbolizes union! You know how it takes both sun and rain to make a rainbow for example. Right? Regarding the GLBT community, the rainbow symbolizes human diversity joined together--and diversity within that diversity resembling the totality of humanity. After all, human beings are diverse, yet one.Now, I did not mean to go too deep here, but for those who were wondering why the GLBT community adopted the rainbow as a symbol--this is one reason.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Yeah the Gays really messed up the rainbow for me!
When I was child and I saw a rainbow, it was a thing of beauty and there was that slight chance there just might be that pot of gold at the end of it.
But now when I see a Rainbow, All I see is a couple of leprechauns humping each other!
You know, a rainbow is much more than just a couple of leprchauns humping each other, just like gays are a lot more than that. You must be very dumb, not seeing that. How can you be such a person, and still watch this video?
Willie Nelson, song writer, poet, musician, all around nice guy. Writes a song of hope for everyone. He is just a nice guy. And like the song he wrote “There ain’t nothing I can do about it now”…Please just try to enjoy live. It is short make the most of it…
I really like the song it was very relaxing and peaceful. I love the way he states that the lovers, dreamers and him will find a rainbow connection. From what he is stating in his song he is suggesting that the rainbow is a peaceful alliance. Rainbows are beautiful, colorful and a significance of peace on earth or that is what I think he is talking about in his song. Signed Kittykisses2383
Nobody is going to even hazard an opinion about the word "connection"? Come on, throw me a bone, toss me a crumb. What kinds of things do you associate with the word "connection"? Hey, jcesar, I have never thought of this song as being melancholy, but it is. Thanks, Otterberry
This song's rhythm is a bit melancholic but the lyrics seem to have a touch of hope which is further than our own understanding (under a magic-spell). Nelson sings about hearing voices and asking if they have a meaning to them. I would agree that it has an occult theme for this.
Although this is not my preference of music genre it is a nice song. Signed jcesar
Actually, this song is moving because it's wonderfully written. And right here right now that's a very good song for Willie. I agree, Kermit would be proud. :)
Students, though this song speaks of visions, hearing voices, and magic, not to mention star-gazing, few people would say the lyrics are built around an occult theme. Why is that? Before formulating a comment, look up connotations of the words "occult" and "connection." Regarding "connection," make sure you know how this word was used around the time the song was written. Signed, Otterberry
Well, in my opinion, these lyrics could be built around an occult theme, but only with the definition of occult being "beyond the range of ordinary knowledge or understanding; mysterious," or "secret; disclosed or communicated only to the initiated." When i first read this passage, i immanently thought of the meaning of occult being witchcraft, or something of that sort. But looking up that word, i saw that there is other meanings to that word. Signed, Tainted Abyss

@TheFreakDr I suppose the specific "Original" Singer of this song was Kermit The Frog (aka Jim Henson) as it was written for the original Muppet Movie. After the song became a HUGE hit from that film the composer of the song, Paul Williams, recorded it for his album that came out in ... I want to say 1981 (ish) so it really belongs to the 3 of them, Paul, Kermit & Henson :)
Pot should be legal! I know many people who are hurting and pot makes them calm down and feel better, what wrong with that? Pot doesn't effect you like alcohol, alcohol has killed more people then pot ever will. I don't smoke pot but I feel it should be legal, the problem we have many self rightious bigots, who think it is just a drug. Yet those same people use hard drugs perscribed by thier doctor. It will be legal.
@rubshop30 Nothing is wrong with that accept you cant always use a herb to make yourself clam down because when the effects wear off your problem will still be there trust me I have been hurting since I was born and still am and I thought of using pot and drugs but I decided no id rather hurt then dulude myself whille losing brain cells.
@MegaSchoolgirls You lose brain cells as you age, but quality of life is important, the hardest drugs a prescibed by doctors. I have never seen somebody go crazy on just pot. Pot is good for your eyes, pot helps you eat when your ill. God put this herb naturally on the earth, probably to help us. Instead Pot is treated like hard drugs because it is stereotyped like all others. Make alcohol illegal and legalize pot! Alcohol has killed many more then pot will ever! I don't smoke pot!
@rubshop30 God also puts posion an the earth naturally should we go eat that? Ok you lose you eyesight as you grow older also and when your ill there isplenty of other stuff to help besides something that has a negative affect and no no one has gone crazy but every person I know who smokes pot is really dumb. And why do you kepp insisting that you dont smoke pot that just makes people supecious. And I agree with you about Alcohol but unfortunally that will never happen.
basically youa re calling willie nelson stupid.... he smokes weed every day... he owns a kick ass vaporizer too, custom made with rebel flags on it.... so why don't you just go read a bit from real studies. cuz there's another one done back in 2003 that proved marijuana slows and pretty much stops the growth of tumor cells.... ppl with your attitude are only holding back our society from evolving. marijuana will be the number one cure for cancer in the future. i ain't kiddin
@rubshop30 Honestly I dont care if pot is legalized because it wont affect me since im not stupid enough to do it but this comment just bugged me based on the fact that it was on a video that had nothing to do with pot so I decided to write my opinion
marijuana was proven in laboratories this year that it slows the aging process by slowing the down the swelling of the brain which is caused by aging. this is true facts. just proven this year buddy. so lay off the criticism, you are obviously uneducated on the topic. the tests were completed at University of Ohio, i can get you the medical write up from the study if you like. Marijuana is not bad , quit your bitchin.... my god you ppl make me sick. it's not a harmful plant
Seems sad that even though this is a song about hope, sung by an old man who still seems to dream of a better world, in a place that was born to bring people a thousand miles apart together, we seem to have so many people who want to write down nothing but cynicism and vileness. Maybe it is just the way the world works, but that don't make good. It doesn't make it right.

@anelote11 He has played with that guitar, and only that guitar, for over 40 years. He said if the IRS had taken away Trigger, the name of the guitar, he would have never played again.

@anelote11 Just cause a guitar has a hole in it doesn't mean it can't make a good sound. This is the only guitar Willie ever plays, as far as I know. Don't be cynical.

how cool would it be to be sitting in a park and have Willie walk by with his guitar? i can only dream that someday such a privilege is granted to me, it is not too often in this life when you are afforded the chance to sit at a Living Legends feet and absorb what he has to share that day.

Rainbows symbolize many things.For one, a rainbow symbolizes union! You know how it takes both sun and rain to make a rainbow for example. Right? Regarding the GLBT community, the rainbow symbolizes human diversity joined together--and diversity within that diversity resembling the totality of humanity. After all, human beings are diverse, yet one.Now, I did not mean to go too deep here, but for those who were wondering why the GLBT community adopted the rainbow as a symbol--this is one reason.

Yeah the Gays really messed up the rainbow for me!
When I was child and I saw a rainbow, it was a thing of beauty and there was that slight chance there just might be that pot of gold at the end of it.
But now when I see a Rainbow, All I see is a couple of leprechauns humping each other!
bobaldeagleclark 7 months ago
@bobaldeagleclark And now you messed it up for the gays.
You know, a rainbow is much more than just a couple of leprchauns humping each other, just like gays are a lot more than that. You must be very dumb, not seeing that. How can you be such a person, and still watch this video?

Willie Nelson, song writer, poet, musician, all around nice guy. Writes a song of hope for everyone. He is just a nice guy. And like the song he wrote “There ain’t nothing I can do about it now”…Please just try to enjoy live. It is short make the most of it…

I really like the song it was very relaxing and peaceful. I love the way he states that the lovers, dreamers and him will find a rainbow connection. From what he is stating in his song he is suggesting that the rainbow is a peaceful alliance. Rainbows are beautiful, colorful and a significance of peace on earth or that is what I think he is talking about in his song. Signed Kittykisses2383

Nobody is going to even hazard an opinion about the word "connection"? Come on, throw me a bone, toss me a crumb. What kinds of things do you associate with the word "connection"? Hey, jcesar, I have never thought of this song as being melancholy, but it is. Thanks, Otterberry
Wordster11 8 months ago
This song's rhythm is a bit melancholic but the lyrics seem to have a touch of hope which is further than our own understanding (under a magic-spell). Nelson sings about hearing voices and asking if they have a meaning to them. I would agree that it has an occult theme for this.
Although this is not my preference of music genre it is a nice song. Signed jcesar

Actually, this song is moving because it's wonderfully written. And right here right now that's a very good song for Willie. I agree, Kermit would be proud. :)

Students, though this song speaks of visions, hearing voices, and magic, not to mention star-gazing, few people would say the lyrics are built around an occult theme. Why is that? Before formulating a comment, look up connotations of the words "occult" and "connection." Regarding "connection," make sure you know how this word was used around the time the song was written. Signed, Otterberry
Wordster11 8 months ago
Well, in my opinion, these lyrics could be built around an occult theme, but only with the definition of occult being "beyond the range of ordinary knowledge or understanding; mysterious," or "secret; disclosed or communicated only to the initiated." When i first read this passage, i immanently thought of the meaning of occult being witchcraft, or something of that sort. But looking up that word, i saw that there is other meanings to that word.

TheFreakDr 8 months ago
@TheFreakDr I suppose the specific "Original" Singer of this song was Kermit The Frog (aka Jim Henson) as it was written for the original Muppet Movie. After the song became a HUGE hit from that film the composer of the song, Paul Williams, recorded it for his album that came out in ... I want to say 1981 (ish) so it really belongs to the 3 of them, Paul, Kermit & Henson :)

Pot should be legal! I know many people who are hurting and pot makes them calm down and feel better, what wrong with that? Pot doesn't effect you like alcohol, alcohol has killed more people then pot ever will. I don't smoke pot but I feel it should be legal, the problem we have many self rightious bigots, who think it is just a drug. Yet those same people use hard drugs perscribed by thier doctor. It will be legal.

@rubshop30 Nothing is wrong with that accept you cant always use a herb to make yourself clam down because when the effects wear off your problem will still be there trust me I have been hurting since I was born and still am and I thought of using pot and drugs but I decided no id rather hurt then dulude myself whille losing brain cells.
MegaSchoolgirls 8 months ago
@MegaSchoolgirls You lose brain cells as you age, but quality of life is important, the hardest drugs a prescibed by doctors. I have never seen somebody go crazy on just pot. Pot is good for your eyes, pot helps you eat when your ill. God put this herb naturally on the earth, probably to help us. Instead Pot is treated like hard drugs because it is stereotyped like all others. Make alcohol illegal and legalize pot! Alcohol has killed many more then pot will ever! I don't smoke pot!
rubshop30 8 months ago
@rubshop30 God also puts posion an the earth naturally should we go eat that? Ok you lose you eyesight as you grow older also and when your ill there isplenty of other stuff to help besides something that has a negative affect and no no one has gone crazy but every person I know who smokes pot is really dumb. And why do you kepp insisting that you dont smoke pot that just makes people supecious. And I agree with you about Alcohol but unfortunally that will never happen.

basically youa re calling willie nelson stupid.... he smokes weed every day... he owns a kick ass vaporizer too, custom made with rebel flags on it.... so why don't you just go read a bit from real studies. cuz there's another one done back in 2003 that proved marijuana slows and pretty much stops the growth of tumor cells.... ppl with your attitude are only holding back our society from evolving. marijuana will be the number one cure for cancer in the future. i ain't kiddin

marijuana was proven in laboratories this year that it slows the aging process by slowing the down the swelling of the brain which is caused by aging. this is true facts. just proven this year buddy. so lay off the criticism, you are obviously uneducated on the topic. the tests were completed at University of Ohio, i can get you the medical write up from the study if you like. Marijuana is not bad , quit your bitchin.... my god you ppl make me sick. it's not a harmful plant

Seems sad that even though this is a song about hope, sung by an old man who still seems to dream of a better world, in a place that was born to bring people a thousand miles apart together, we seem to have so many people who want to write down nothing but cynicism and vileness. Maybe it is just the way the world works, but that don't make good. It doesn't make it right.
