  • I'm 56 and this was the 1st Townes song I heard when I was 15. I went out and bought a guitar and learned to play because of this. I still remember every lyric. I saw him once in a small coffee house at college when I was 18 and was mesmerized. And i remember the place I was when I heard he died. Emmy Lou Harris was saying he was the greatest lyricist ever. She was right.

  • who's Dylan?

  • @ritabottle Well, she was not alone saying that... More or less every singer-songwriter today have said the same! When Dylan played "To live is to fly" he introduced it with "here is a song by the greatest songwriter that ever lived!".

  • @xXxaimlessxXx Ah, c'mon. I prefer Townes, but Dylan. Guy Clark and Michael Smith are all favorite songwriters of mine.

  • que te valla bien miss carrusel jeje

  • @Reddirtgirl55Again i agree this is awesome

  • Superb!

  • Yeah. I still love my Bob Dylan and my Leonard Cohen, but....

    and my Joni Mitchell.

  • Yeah. I still love my Bob Dylan and my Leonard Cohen, but....

  • A Genius. Nothing more needs to be said....

  • Townes van Zandt was a poet. Modern music can learn much from the like of TvZ.

  • @Wajionis I think it's about a failed relationship. He thinks she is only staying with him because she needs him. She goes round and round; she won't leave and she won't stay. She is tired of his addictions 'the drunken clown " and "would you say that anyway to judge him". She's erected an emotional wall "the castle wall " and " tears couldn't find your eyes" so he has decided he will leave her "the time has come for leaving." That's my take. Only TVZ knows for certain and he's gone..
