Ron Sexsmith - These Days

[moonglum125]

Saw this dude in concert in 95 at Red Rocks Colorado, good show. I have not seen anything from him since. I guess his stuff never really took off here in the States.

[Hazel3336]

Gorgeous!

[jigln]

can people, especially 'wealthy' music people not have a whip around and ease this man's finacial situation, he's never had a hit song and therefore is always struggling.

yet he has produced some of the greatest music ever put out there, and is covered by the biggest and greatest names in the world of music.

FUND him and give him breathing space, too not only continue, but to feel the reward of his beautiful hardwork!!!

Please.

[mirciulikka]

canadian is a ..plus? lol A minus maybe;)

[Northey85]

@mirciulikka why would it be a minus?

[tbmuex]

I had the opportunity to be in the music video. I am the goth dude with my ex girlfriend. Ron is really cool and relaxed.

THe reason why we're cast for it is because Rons daughter was goth because that's what goes on these days.

Love from Toronto

...saw him last night at Leamington Spa. I've seen over 300 live shows and this went straight to number 1!! Just amazing.....its hard to think of new superlatives, gives you faith in humanity!!! Just go and see him....new dates added for later this year in the UK!!!

[covsidnorris]

@seveertrebor I too was at that gig. A masterclass!

[seveertrebor]

@covsidnorris ...yep, certainly was. Just booked up for Birmingham in Sept.

[thmoorer]

Another beautiful song, and beautifully done, too. Thank God we still have some wonderful singer-songwriters around, in these days of American Idol. Please come down South, Ron!

[saikopsycho1989]

el obexo XD

[polgklam]

He will be hugely famous, just watch, this is my two cents. I've noticed that anyone working really hard on their passion especially music, even if it's 5-10 years , it's all of a sudden there,bang their huge and famous. CBC plays him every day,I can't wait to see him get an award besides the one he has. He's amazing !

[rebeve]

How this guy is not huge is beyond me.

[skinnerman100]

great song writer

the world must be blind

come back to ireland soon waterford if  you can love you man

[VimFuego72]

Fantastic.!!! That is all!

[kevhead66]

Can anyone recommend a Ron Sexsmith album? 

[MrSebmir]

@kevhead66 i recommend the fantastic album "Retriever"- enjoy!!!!! every single song a sensation !

[toemasie]

@kevhead66 All of them!  I personally like Retriever.

[rubbersole79]

Awesome........but I'd love to hear that on a D-28.

[9UaYXxB]

Ron Sexsmith always takes your heart and places it in a better place.

He knows how to clear away the junk that invades people's spirits. We need his vision.

[kkidd123]

great song, great songwriter..outstanding vid, thanks for uploading it

[ruthie10101010]

This is on the soundtrack for the film INTERMISSION with Colin Farrell and Cillian Murphy! Fact :).....and it is great!

[slasma7]

fantastic!!!!!!!!! true talent...no flashy lights, big costumes or pyrotechnics....just a guitar and his voice! close your eyes and fly!

[generalelectryk]

brilliant, inspiring Canadian! Love ya RON!!!

[TheBarryNoVa]

andy milonakis? loving the brown look.

[honeyflowerchild]

love love love it, you know how you can play a cd to death, not ron sexsmith's, all his cds are superb : )

[eertenip]

Savage stuff

[sophiecharlotte123]

Hmm,.. dont take offence but voice dosent match face looks like a middle aged woman especially his hair. when he did 'whatever It takes' (with Mickey Bubbles) did he have a cough or a cold because he does not sound himself . Funny second name too. But gotta love him :) i love 'secret heart' LIVE ON SEXSMITH!

[robmatlivingstone]

Excruciatingly horrible

[tysmd78]

i soo love him!!!!!

[crambus]

I really love this song, it doesnt make me think but reminisce of what was and could have been... really awesome song

[LFCzeppelin8]

does anyone know what kind of capo he's using? Dallas Green uses the same if not a similar one, just wondering if it's "better" somehow than other capos.

great song btw :)

[Mariekesone]

Great song...and an awesome singer:-)

[Katelovesbeans]

beautiful

[worleca27]

Elton John mentioned this guy in an Elvis Costello interview so iam checking him out and he was right what an incredible artist Ron Sexsmith is.

[Davek1990]

Man, Ron Sexsmith looks really young for a bloke in his 40's, he could easily pass for early 20's!

[TheKelster74]

Ron Sexsmith I love you! xoxoxo

[BCraingirl]

It's a shame his music isn't more played on the radio or TV, but he's still wonderful and Canadian too which is a plus! ;-)

[macflyfilm]

I'm Irish and when I find out the guy or gal is Canadian it seems to make me smile (and my fave stars are from U.S.), It's a nice surprise and I don't know why. I guess it's because they have a reputation in general for being nicer more down the earth people and all the funniest comedy actors are Canadian.

[BCraingirl]

I'm 1/4 Irish myself, and you right about Canadians, lol!

[ddogg7]

@macflyfilm This guy is not your typical American

[alternative10000]

@BCraingirl that's because the music stations are run via bribes from excons such as Jay Z and his Rihanna instead of promoting lovely music, that's what passes for music these days.

[GlenAnne99]

This is wonderful :) I love it !

Thanks for putting this performance up and sharing.

What a great artist he is.

[normy999]

Serious song-writing....wonderful. To me, Ron is a pop version of Bruce Cockburn. Both are Canadian national treasures.

[patriciatalem]

Incredible...

[71vmo]

beautiful

[joyceandream]

This world can get so cynical, darling. I like that this video feels like he is just playing for a friend and the fact that it only has 500-odd views adds to that sense. I really like it.

[tricomb222]

Brilliant, :)
