livin,mayby its what you hear that matters...This song reminds me of me now and for the last 25 years.Have I been living or leaving life by the drop? Mayby both...a drop dont have to ne booze either...
@MrDeadbabys Doyle Bramhall co-wrote this with Stevie, I believe. Bramhall died today, November 13, 2011. Aged 62, of pneumonia. Wife, a daughter, two sons. He also composed Dirty Pool.
@strandwolf i dont know about dirty pool but i do know that doyle wrote it about stevie and didnt even know stevie covered it until stevie died. and thats a shame RIP doyle
sleicht5, Awe sooo sorry about your friend!! You are sooo lucky to have had a great friend!!! I'm never to be able to find a friend in this world!!! Everybody i meet in this world are mean, rude and knieving!!! I couldn't imagine having found one and losing them..sooo sorry!!!
@janis123ism Sorry to hear you have no friends...try maybe meeting people on-line. Of course, be careful about meeting them on line willy-nilly. Good luck!
I just found out yesterday that my best friend committed suicide over the weekend. Wanted to hear this song, but was kind of afraid to. Glad I did, though, I guess.
Amazing song. So beautiful. I chose to play this at my best friends funeral...it was so poetic that day. And so what if the lyrics are wrong, or misspelled...just enjoy the song for what it is, a beautiful masterpiece
so uh......yea, who cried? I'm just thinkin of my great grandma, & idk why, but when I hear a song that has a beautiful tone to it, whether it's pop, rock, hip-hop or anything, I start to think of her. This song definitely hit me hard, in a good way though.
beautiful photo of him at the end - finally some clarity in his look - i wonder where his music would of gone if he was still around doing it sober - all I can say is thank you god for the time he was here. I feel like I'm making love to god when listening to stevie
Sin duda es muy personal lo qcomento pero a mi gusto fue un grande, y me convence mas a la Hora de transmitir q hendrix es mas pasional sin duda es el mejor guitarrista q e visto en mi vida q lastima q hoy no pueda ver sus trabajos en vivo y q destino tan cruel, este tema litlle wing superstition y leni y algunos otros me encanta q lastima q losadolescentes crescan en su mayoria escuchando porquerias en ves de "M.U.S.I.C.A"
The world lost a truely amazing person not to mention an inspirational artist RIP Stevie and thanks so much for the music that you left behind for us!
The man took the time to put the lyrics to the video. So you can honor an amazing song by an amazing artist, mr. Stevie Ray Vaughn, and you bitch about spelling mistakes? Get a fucking life! Thank you for taking the time to put this together so we can enjoy a small piece of Stevies life
@sycoadam i have often wonder why their is always some loser talkin out his ass. i have a simple solution you dont like the vid DON'T WATCH IT dont comment shut and move on yeah i bet there is pen lighting you up somewhere. anyway kickass vid bro longlive the legend SRV.
@disneypenlight dude.....love the song.....or just climb into a coffin.....this is pure american spirit.....to hell with the errors........we're all friends here.....and that's what the song is about! GOD BLESS YOU!
luv this song .reminds me of the best guitar player I ever knew . my best friend and brother. RIP I miss him so much. We lived life by the drop. We will walk together on the other side.
@OpakeArawra2 It's a good song man, if you don't like it you can always GET THE FUCK OUT without leaving a comment. I enjoy the fact you think by leaving a comment or thumbing it down you're going to convince someone else it's not good. How much free time do have? I have tons of bands and pop singers I hate but I certainly don't go to their videos and comment. I just don't watch the shit. Just a quick question, do have to remind yourself to breathe? Keep rocking those velcro shoes bro!
@SchwagmasterJT Oh it's a great song, I love playing it. I don't think that there's a greatest guitar player. There's not absolute great. There are no ceilings. The universe is infinite. I came here to listen to a song, which I enjoyed, but still I thumbed it down because I hate fuckshits like you. How much free time do I have? Between working and playing music, not much. I bet I play music much better than you, ya stupid cunt.
as far as a rhythmic analysis goes...when you hear the other players out there who cover this song, they just don`t fully understand that to make this shuffle beat soulful and lowdown you have to really lay back hard on those duples....of course, when you perform this shuffle perfectly the way Stevie does on this recording, well it just drips with emotion,,,, this is a perfect song
the opening guitar is the best part, I love that.
