  • Jimmy B - Sunday Television (Rough solo mix)

    Search for it on YouTube. It's got the same vibe as Willy N.

    Excellent!

  • Whatever happened to Willy Mason?

  • H really needs to re release it so more people can hear

  • Tripppy? How is it trippy in the slightest?

  • ignoring the chorus, this is so creepily like syd barret...accept with lyrics u can understand

  • Thats exactly what I thought when I first heard this song! Like a mix between Syd Barrett at his best and Damon Albarn (esp GB&Q); his voice is what made this song so beautiful; I almost cried. I still almost cry! :D

    The bridge is just amazingly fragile...

  • My comment was aimed at alyk72 , it just didnt put it under his name

  • You fucking wanker

  • ur thinkin of willie nelson he's abt 80

  • oh my god.i thought willy mason was like 80 years old!can't beleive how many times i've listened to this song and not known anything about it really.

  • i remember this video used to be played on MTV2 (uk) every afternoon and i'd see it after school. memorieesss, reminds me of summer.

  • I think we should remember that change starts with the individual

  • Richer than industry...

  • His first and still best song.

  • Thank you for posting realness and truth!

  • Willy mason is hot. and im a straight male

  • well said... good tune

  • is this the real music video?

  • Yes...

    why would mason be in the video in the first place?

  • it was filmed on marthas vineyard

  • why wouldn't he be?

    Do ya think he's some kind of fraud?

    For what reason?

  • no not at all. he makes it seem like in this song u have to famous and great to make a difference. Im just a low humble man of God, and I want to make a difference in the world, for the better

  • I don't get the impression from this video that you need to be famous to make a difference.

    Being good to animals and children can be an effective way to make a difference. You won't see any results unless you get active. Even then, it takes time.

    But just a big smile to an attention depraved child at the grocery store can make a difference to that kid.

  • Don't you know?

  • well im gay, so ur version of a better world is free of people like me so forgive me if i feel its unlikely people like you (by which i mean christians) can't really make a difference in world if u regard a lot of people as having sin. Christianity never makes a anywhere better, i mean look how catholicism devastated africa. If ur serious about making the world better - ditch the religion and listen to the basic principles of just being fair to everyone that to me this song is all about

  • well you cant make a difference if you're telling people to drop their religion. You just dont understand... gl with what ever you're doing

  • I don't believe in a god but catholicism devastated africa? How? If the people lived by the rules of catholicism, they would only have sex when they are married and they marry with only one women. This way hiv would spread like it is now.

    If people say that they are believing in something and they don't live by the rules, don't blame the religion.

  • What are u talking about, how can u blame the people of Africa. Catholicism devastated Africa because the people DON'T believe in Catholicism however the dictatorship governments say they do and therefore don't although condoms into their country, now whether you blame the religion or the gov. is up to you (I personally think the pope has a responsibility to intervene in the forced implementation of Catholicism but I would) however you can't blame the people surely??

  • Who is to blame, the gun or the one who shoots? Some people don't use condoms, even in the west, because they think it's not manly. Most people in africa is christian or moslim and both religions don't allow adultery. Religion is just something to blame if it goes wrong and to use violance for a reason.

  • u still seem to be under the impression that people in africa dont use condoms through choice, that isnt the case; missionaries bring trucks of condoms to these places which are emptied ravaged by the clearly desperate people. i mean going back to my main point according to catholicism these aid workers are acting against gods will, can u honestly say these people arn't making a difference for the better and i still don't know how u can justify saying its the peoples fault

  • Missionaries also delivered intelligence to the colonial forces that destroyed Africa in the 19th century. They helped prepare Africans for European rule, and often attacked indigenous culture and sources of political authority. Read Comaroff and Comaroff--missionaries have not been innocent in the downfall of Africa, which is largely a modern phenomenon.

  • Andy507252 are you talkin to me?

    First off, I never claimed to be anything!

    And those things I said... I never claimed would make a better world! My version of a better world can be found in the book

    2150 A.D. By Thea Alexander

    The focus is on macroism rather than the micro attitudes that we generally have now.

    btw... I've had several friends who are gay and the only reason they're not my friends anymore is because those particular persons were just too selfish for me.

    Peace

  • what? no im not talking to u, im talking to jeremiahj13 and Iam2bored72long i agree with what you said, very thoughtful and about ur 'btw' tbh a lot of gay people are very selfish even ill concede to that, it stands to reason after all homosexuality is very self indulgent decision to make

  • man i wish i could just sit down this this fella and have some beers and talk life

  • what makes you so good?!?

    Oh yeah...

    the words...

    and the sound?!?

    Yes the world...

    it's just keeps on spinning!

    and then to give to means more than to take!

  • you know something about the reluctant Jesus at one point or another

    x

  • oh shit this song was such a importent part of my life.

  • Open your mind and listen to the message. Uenlightened wasted expanse of youth.

  • You(blades482,lepzedelin) are a bunch of loser psychos. Go get some therapy NOW!!

  • tbh i think its fucking awsum u try wrting a song or a tune if it ''sucks'' you suck cos you woodnt eva b able to!!

  • I always imagined him to be really old with a beard and a guitar, he has such an old name. But I love the lyrics.

  • lol i always thought he ws gonna be about 60 and with a beard! crazy huh ?! :P

  • nice lyrics but i dont like the tune and his voice but nice lyrics anyway

  • this guy has an amazing voice

  • Yes we are. And yes we do. What do you listen to? I'm guessing heavy metal.

  • here lads! this persons obviously got nuttin better to do den slag off music that they clearly "dont get" but we shudnt label them! heavy metal and even some dance (i stress SOME) music has as much meanin to it but is more conformist. we shudnt be angry let it go. theryre not hurtin us....theyre hurtin themselves. no point in tryin to change them. peace!!! :)

  • good point... I wasn't really saying it doesn't, but people who listen to rock and metal tend to despise other people's music more. Take lepzedelin's ridiculous piece of shit that he calls a comment, based on his name, he's still deeply rooted in the eighties. I feel sorry for him.

  • you like shit dance therefore no right to talk about music

  • Brilliant Lyrics

  • bit like barrett and acoustic kurt,not a bad tune

  • ha amazin =]

    seen him last night at the abc =]=]

  • Sorry, but I find this rather depressing, what's all the fuss about?

  • bloody brilliant!!!

  • I'm going to see him in a few months, together with Pete Yorn and The Fray.

    I'm hearing it for the first time now. It's pretty cool =)

  • a very good hangover cure! lol

  • good, nice..

  • I love this sooooooo much

  • Great song, his voice is just great. Nice work!

  • lekker nummertje hoorr !!

  • willy was kind enough to allow us to include pick-up truck on a compilation CD of local Martha's Vineyard musicians to raise money for a new community radio station here. It's a recording of his live performance on 4/20/07. To order a CD ($15.99 plus shipping), send a msg to maria AT wvvy DOT org or check our myspace at myspace dot com slash wvvy
