Every once in a while you find a song you haven’t heard before and as you crawl out from under the big rock you’ve been under it’s like a renewal of your faith in great music. God bless you Levon.
The lyrics to this are timeless. “I got a job and I put my money away, but I’ve got the kind of debt that no honest man can pay.” How some things never change.
@@i.am.mazzamus The Boss (Springsteen) writes songs that are so relatable. Dylan's been recognized as being a poet (incredible lyricist), which he shld be, but I'd put Bruce right up there, for his brilliant lyrical contributions 😎 #AtlanticCity
@@defy9ordinary honestly I think Springsteen was born to write this song, but The Band was born to play it. This cover is just so superior to the original in my opinion.
This is a great cover and awesome track , but the lyrics are why I prefer the Bruce version. When combined with his haunting, barren vocals and the general vibe and themes of “Nebraska.”, there is a certain profound effect on the listener. The resigned, unfathomably deep pain conveyed in Bruce’s voice, with the starkly isolated, desolate, overwhelmingly solitary nature of the basement recording make this a top track of all time. It’s certainly one of the most emotionally affecting/poignant/ meaningful tracks I’ve enjoyed. while the bands cover is a nice tune, to me , it’s no where near the vast depth of pure poignant, world tilting, emotional FEELING Bruce invokes on the listener, and most importantly leads us to a place of acceptance and catharsis. It’s tough accepting reality, that everything dies, and that’s a fact. But it’s nice thinking maybe everything that dies, someday comes back? #bosstalk
My brother and I loved this song. We were roomies for a while before he got married and we used to listen to this driving around at night. Lost him this year, but this song reminds me of some of the best times with him.
As a 64 year old living in the deep forests of connecticut, I can't help but think of the good old days when I got drunk and pulled my 4 year old daughter downstairs and sang this song until she passed out. Now I adopted a few more kids, but they all keep passing out. I think it's because how good my vocals are.
My brother Logan told me about this song a couple of months before he passed, I never got around to listening to it. He passed away in June. I listened to this song , and man, I can see why he loved it so much. I love you bro, I miss you, I’ll see you in Atlantic City. :)
+sakuthegreat I loved them from the first time I heard "Big Pink", and yet, still appreciate them more and more, as other bands I loved then become less and less interesting.
Something about hearing “everything dies” and “maybe everything that dies someday someday back” makes everything seem okay. Is as if for a moment I am so content with not being worried about how I’m not the one behind the wheel and I can finally enjoy the view
And also, "put your make up on, put your pretty a pretty" kinda symbolizes that you have to keep pushing on no matter what happens. I just love this song so much.
husband saw me write that - said "oh, you're definitely gonna outlive my ass".. this song is how we met in a bar.. didn't recognize it but recognized levon.. he played it.. asked him if it was the band
My buddy that was in the same vehicle as me when we invaded Iraq in 03 introduced me to this song today..I’ve had it on repeat the whole day..thanks again Smitty for making me smile for the millionth time..I could’ve made it through it with my sanity if not for you my friend..thanks once again
The beauty of this masterpiece is that some days I feel the joy in this song and other days I feel its pain. It all comes back to the beauty that’s a rare song like this, it helps me express emotion I might not normally feel
I took several upper level English classes in college in which my professor constantly compared 18th century poets to Bruce. I have to say I agree. The universality of this song is undeniable. The fact that it works played by a different band, with different instruments, in a different key, with the lyrics slightly altered just resonates the fact that the song is just good, period. Everyone in the world can relate to this song, and it will be good forever.
One of the first songs I learned on mandoline which I bought in Austin , Texas. Met Levon a few weeks later in Winston, Salem where he signed my hat. He was unable to sing because of cancer, but still drumming the hell out of the joint. I still wear the hat now and then while playing this song.
"But, I talked to a man last night gonna do a little favor for him" I absolutely love how Levon delivers that line. It captures the tone of the character's descent perfectly .
The band is truly mystique. I heard em on the radio one day and their songs just grew on me. I ask people if they ever heard of "the Band" and they always say "which band". Too bad I missed em on tour...over 20 years before I was born. As long as they keep playing their songs on the radio I'll keep listening.
Probably the greatest voice to sing lyrics in what's called Americana nowadays. Geez The Band had 3 great vocalists. Richard Manuel and Rick Danko also. RIP all. Levon's "False Hearted Lover" a great one too. Was lucky to catch them on one of the first Day's on The Green in Oakland in 1974. The Band, Crosby Stills and Nash, Joe Walsh and Jesse Colin Young. Them's was shining times! This is the best version!
Yup grew up in Jersey in the 50s- to late 70s. Always enjoyed The Band, moved to the Midwest in the late 70s early 80s( Thank Goodness). First time time I listened to this song and the poetry of words. Many memories!
God Bless both of you. My father fought in Vietnam, earning 2 purple hearts and a silver star. Never treated him right when he came home. But somebody sees. Thank yall.
Im only 20 but I was raised on this music. This is when it was good still and not so polluted. Here is to raising my kids on this. Having them know that this is real music.
My Grandpa listened to this song every time he turns on his speaker or does something and sometimes I want to cry for him because my step Grandma died a few months ago and they would go out to parties and since she had arthritis she didn't do it as often and this song made them two dance once but he listened to this song today and it makes me cry knowing he is missing his favorite gal. Rest in peace Grandma we all miss you. It just makes me happy knowing he would do anything to have her in his arms again. ❤
I said it someplace...maybe here about 200 comments back? Bruce wrote a great song, but Levon and the Band do it as if it was written just for them. The mandolin intro...always makes me smile. And Garth Hudson's keyboards on the fadeout: perfect. Bruce is serious, moving, a powerful statement about Atlantic City in New Jersey. The Band make it a universal song, an ironic one: "everything dies, baby that's a fact / maybe everything that dies some day comes back". Rick Danko and Levon Helm have died since this was recorded, and Richard Manuel before them, but all of their music just keeps coming back. "Some day" is this day and tomorrow and the next and the next. Thanks, Bruce, and thanks, Levon and Garth!
I'm a HUGE Bruce fan, but this is the best version of Atlantic City. As soon as I heard The Band do this many years ago it became my favorite song by them. Yes, it does make you smile...and tap your feet...and dance perhaps alone in the kitchen. Peace.
I love this song, and The Band does a phenomenal job. I think I'm still partial to Bruce's version, but i'm not certain. They are not mutually exclusive, however. Both can exist as equally great. This definitely gives me an even greater appreciation for how talented The Band was.
Thanks for repping my homeland bro Tennessee is beautiful and a wonder to be in especially White County we just need more opportunities here the nature and culture is what I like
God i love Tennessee I'm from PA and roadtripped the almost the whole way to Georgia in one then back up through Tennessee and such. And that was by far my favorite state of the trip
I've know the band for years, play and sing the weight for the longest time. I just came across this song so it's fresh for me. On repeat all day, what a tune!
Was just looking for something to do before dinner and came across this. I forgot how much I loved the music of Levon Helms and the Band. Think I'll dust off the turn table, pull out my LP,s pour a bourbon and listen to some music from my day.
This is such a good version. I love Garth's accordion, and Levon's singing always gets to the heart of the lyric. Rick's harmonies are just perfect, too. Great song.
"everything dies baby that's a fact, maybe everything that dies someday comes back." Levon, you were back as soon as this song started. Thanks for the music.
this is just fantastic, Levon was a freaking fantastic musician and hearing this makes me want to live and play more music and I can never be more thankful
Loved The Band since 1970. And I think the the Dirt Farmer album Levon did a few years back was some of his best music. Sorry he's gone, but thankful for all the good music he left us to enjoy. God Bless Him real good!
First song I remember when coming back from being overseas for 18 months deployment in the military. Always thought it was a Band song until a couple of years ago. Thanks for the memories.
I get teary hearing our Jewel Levon Helm; 2012 was Hell of a couple of weeks getting over him passing I happen to lose My Cooper too! So yeah; This song was on Repeat for a while.
I hope all of you smile big today, present and future listeners. Laugh with your mom, kick your dad awake and tell them you’re happy to be their child. Your grandparents, talk to them. just say hello, you have no idea how much it happiness it brings them to see their grandchildren living and happy. Its their legacy. Your S.O. is missing the days you all hung out outside, drank and sang till the sun came up. Tell them you love them and think of them daily. Now you, take the time to look up. Look at the universe, you dont see it but you’re looking to a place with no end. And maybe, just maybe something is looking right back into you. Will you ever know? Probably not, but maybe everything that dies some day will come back and who knows what happens in that inbetween time. So Remember, its maybe. Not never, you are doing everything you were meant to do and you can do more. Remember to smile!
I saw the Band live at Roosevelt Stadium in 1973. It was one of the greatest live show Ive ever been at. These 5 guys could play 14 instruments between them. They were moving around from instrument to Instrument all night long. I was at the Love For Levon tribute concert at the Izod Ctr in East Rutherford,N.J. on Oct.3 2012. Levon Helm Band,Joe Walsh, Grace Potter, Roger Waters< My Morning Jacket, Garth Hudson ,and a lot of others played their own take of almost all of the old Band songs
7 days after posting this. My brother in law OD. RIP Robert Edward Rawson. Didnt think when I said this song would help during hard time. Didnt know it would be so soon. Think this song are words his soul says to my sister. Very Sad
The Band was so new, so exciting, so original sounding, that when Eric Clapton heard them, he quit Cream - he couldn't stand to be in that band anymore. He went to Woodstock, hoping there could be a place for him in The Band, but was too shy to actually pop the question.
I remember the day after my dog died I wanted to go for a ride in the mustang I had been saving for the last few years of his life. I had always cleared my mind with music in that car but when I put on my playlist this was the first song that played. I almost rear ended someone that day cause I couldn’t see due to the tears in my eyes
To me this song is a metaphor for when you've lost it all, not just $, and you're at rock bottom, but for last time you pretend its all ok, forget about it all, and pull yourself together, walk proudly out that front door and just keepinggoing forward, never looking back.
Such a great interpretation of a great song.Love the Boss, love The Band.It really all comes down to a matter of taste.One's not better than the other.Everything dies baby thats a fact,R.I.P. Levon,Rick & and Richard,You guy's left your mark,that's for sure.One of the truly great bands of all time!

Got so busy living, I was only madly in love with "the weight". Just cracked open their other stuff this year, so glad I did too.
Welcome.
I just learned of this version today!
I feel this comment on a personal level
Check out the Springsteen version. He wrote this song
The lyrics to this are timeless. “I got a job and I put my money away, but I’ve got the kind of debt that no honest man can pay.” How some things never change.
Bro, you have no idea how many times I've hit repeat after that lyric lol
@@i.am.mazzamus The Boss (Springsteen) writes songs that are so relatable. Dylan's been recognized as being a poet (incredible lyricist), which he shld be, but I'd put Bruce right up there, for his brilliant lyrical contributions 😎 #AtlanticCity
@@defy9ordinary honestly I think Springsteen was born to write this song, but The Band was born to play it. This cover is just so superior to the original in my opinion.
Yessir
This is a great cover and awesome track , but the lyrics are why I prefer the Bruce version. When combined with his haunting, barren vocals and the general vibe and themes of “Nebraska.”, there is a certain profound effect on the listener. The resigned, unfathomably deep pain conveyed in Bruce’s voice, with the starkly isolated, desolate, overwhelmingly solitary nature of the basement recording make this a top track of all time. It’s certainly one of the most emotionally affecting/poignant/ meaningful tracks I’ve enjoyed. while the bands cover is a nice tune, to me , it’s no where near the vast depth of pure poignant, world tilting, emotional FEELING Bruce invokes on the listener, and most importantly leads us to a place of acceptance and catharsis. It’s tough accepting reality, that everything dies, and that’s a fact. But it’s nice thinking maybe everything that dies, someday comes back? #bosstalk
My brother and I loved this song. We were roomies for a while before he got married and we used to listen to this driving around at night. Lost him this year, but this song reminds me of some of the best times with him.
I’m sorry, brother. May he be forever more with the lord
We have memories of the loved ones we have lost to make us feel like a part of them is with us, especially a memory like the one you just shared.
Respect the song and your bro. Rip

the world aint the same without you, levon. RIP
No it ain't. And he played a few damn good roles in a few of my favorite movies.
im only 23 but still can appreciate the pure talent of THE BAND. Spectactular tune!
Very nice to hear from a young person!
I can relate, My dad bought me The Bands greatest hits when I was about 21, was my introduction. I’m 40 now and showing my kid
You’re listening to the right stuff buddy.
Never too young or too old
They're brilliant and timeless.
I'm 32 been listening to this since high school love it
The older I get, the more I appreciate The Band.
sakuthegreat Me too, The Band is tight!
+sakuthegreat So weird that you say that... I was just about to post that exact same sentiment on Facebook
+sakuthegreat Amen. I'm going back to the classics more and more!
+sakuthegreat I loved them from the first time I heard "Big Pink", and yet, still appreciate them more and more, as other bands I loved then become less and less interesting.
I totally agree with you I do as well.

LTCAproductions did you just read my mind?
And also, "put your make up on, put your pretty a pretty" kinda symbolizes that you have to keep pushing on no matter what happens. I just love this song so much.
Isn't the refrain supposed to be the narrator rationalizing his decision to commit a murder for the mob?
Funny, I was thinking how it sounds like it should be the soundtrack for an X-Files episode!
Jesus died for our sins so that we could be forgiven for sinning against Him. There is no greater comfort.
This is like digging a garden in your back yard and finding a mason jar filled with gold coins.
I don't know about all that
@@IntelligentElephant I do.
Let's see pictures of them gold coins you done dug up then.
Or whiskey
Tens and fours
Almost all of The Band's music makes me cry like a baby
For me as well.
I can't stop loving them
Me too
Your not alone. It touches the soul.
I sang this to my wife until she passed. I love you Jessi.
Beautiful
this came on today, I was driving home from taking care of my Mom who is dying from cancer......spoke to me on a whole other level. Blessings.....

Only 26 some say I'm a old soul. Am a 3rd generation hippy. With the love of great music. The Band is one of the top groups that are just unbeatable
My son and his wife danced to this song at their wedding. Priceless

Absolutely. Byron would have LOVED it. Yeats, Keats, and both Shelly’s as well. 🦊🖤🐾☕️🚬
Makes me think of My Boy, Jacob, who passed away last year. I know he's listening. I love you, Bubee, and Mama will see you again!!!

I just saw this ten months later and it brought a tear to my eye. Rest In Peace bo Martin! You deserve it sir.
Sweet sweet Stephanie
Soon you ll meet your man

RIP Levon. This song seems to be just the perfect one to listen to as I'm sayin' goodbye. Everything that dies, someday comes back. I'll miss you Sir.
Never ever gets old.... this'll be my go to jam forever
Tragically beautiful and hauntingly romantic.
In contention for one of the most magical songs I've ever heard. It just has that despair + optimism combo that is crushing.
I was introduced to The Band by a friend about 15 years ago--I was blown away, and I so appreciate Levon and the boys
I like the Band version, its Levon's voice and the mandolin that does it.
Hi John
Don't forget Garth's accordian.
The mandolin
Im only 20 but I was raised on this music. This is when it was good still and not so polluted. Here is to raising my kids on this. Having them know that this is real music.
Cheers, 23 here and daydreaming of the future
You are wise beyond your years.
I watched levon do this song at his house in woodstock one snowy night.He was a good man always had a smile on his face.I miss you man
My Grandpa listened to this song every time he turns on his speaker or does something and sometimes I want to cry for him because my step Grandma died a few months ago and they would go out to parties and since she had arthritis she didn't do it as often and this song made them two dance once but he listened to this song today and it makes me cry knowing he is missing his favorite gal.

I first heard this song deep in the mountains of Tennessee, played on a flat top guitar and a washtub bass. oh what memories.
Ethan Lamb first heard this song driving on a coastal road in Hawaii on Oahu. Life changing 🤙🏼
Thanks for repping my homeland bro Tennessee is beautiful and a wonder to be in especially White County we just need more opportunities here the nature and culture is what I like
Nice memory. Around what year?

"everything dies baby that's a fact, maybe everything that dies someday comes back." Levon, you were back as soon as this song started. Thanks for the music.
One of my favorite covers .... The Band reaches into New Jersey and takes a Bruce song back to Arkansas ... gotta love Levon.
Garth was kind of an unsung hero, though his musicianship was well acclaimed. His accordion on this just ties it all together. GREAT cover!
this is just fantastic, Levon was a freaking fantastic musician and hearing this makes me want to live and play more music and I can never be more thankful
I saw this song on a vhs tape of Woodstock '94 . when the accordion first comes in it blew me away . l watched it over and over
What a perfect song to close out 2020.
Love it. Have always enjoyed The Band since I was a kid. It was the end of an era when Robbie and the rest split.
They are The Band...... there has never been any others like THE BAND........ THANK YOU!
Loved The Band since 1970.
And I think the the Dirt Farmer album Levon did a few years back was some of his best music.
Sorry he's gone, but thankful for all the good music he left us to enjoy. God Bless Him real good!
First song I remember when coming back from being overseas for 18 months deployment in the military. Always thought it was a Band song until a couple of years ago. Thanks for the memories.
The song is so so real.
I get teary hearing our Jewel Levon Helm; 2012 was Hell of a couple of weeks getting over him passing I happen to lose My Cooper too! So yeah; This song was on Repeat for a while.
I just heard this song last night and it broke my heart. I can’t stop listening. It’s honestly one of the best jams I’ve ever heard. Thank you. R.G.
This song calms me down, but it also wants me to cry.
It's why i always come back from time to time so i can find relief.
Sitting on the porch listing to one of the most talented bands of all time
We played all of the Bands albums at my fathers wake. He loved these Canadians!
Yep so much soul, life, depth and Levon putting it all together. The Band. Never before or since. Comfort music. thanks for posting.
Cant quit listening to this version, just great!
Same here, im gonna learn to play it
Thankyou Bruce Springsteen and Levon and the Band. Yhos song so good. Meet me tonight in atlantic city. Band version is the best. Peace xx
Garth Hudson...what you add to a song is just incredible.
this is how you do a cover... you make the song yours, you turn it into something original, but still taking into account the true meaning of the song
One hell of a rendition of a great song. Enough here to take a bite of. thanks to all. It would be less than it is without each of you.
I like it as seen through the original story tellers eyes. Bruce knows Jersey and no one can sing about it quite like him. I'm with you Boss
I hope all of you smile big today, present and future listeners.
Laugh with your mom, kick your dad awake and tell them you’re happy to be their child.
Your grandparents, talk to them. just say hello, you have no idea how much it happiness it brings them to see their grandchildren living and happy. Its their legacy.
Your S.O. is missing the days you all hung out outside, drank and sang till the sun came up. Tell them you love them and think of them daily.
Now you, take the time to look up. Look at the universe, you dont see it but you’re looking to a place with no end. And maybe, just maybe something is looking right back into you. Will you ever know? Probably not, but maybe everything that dies some day will come back and who knows what happens in that inbetween time.
So Remember, its maybe. Not never, you are doing everything you were meant to do and you can do more.
Remember to smile!
Man this cover is just phenomenal
Love and miss my great friend, Bradley Gordan " OUTLAW" James! Will never forget who turned me on to this band, THE BAND! RIP BROTHER!

7 days after posting this. My brother in law OD. RIP Robert Edward Rawson. Didnt think when I said this song would help during hard time. Didnt know it would be so soon. Think this song are words his soul says to my sister. Very Sad
Long live the BAND!!!💥
Thank you Robbie for your gift to us. RIP rock icon.
Maybe everything that dies someday comes back. Hope it all comes back. Wish it were the way it was.
The Band was so new, so exciting, so original sounding, that when Eric Clapton heard them, he quit Cream - he couldn't stand to be in that band anymore. He went to Woodstock, hoping there could be a place for him in The Band, but was too shy to actually pop the question.
Big Bruce fan and just discovered this cover, awesome! Levon and the Band make it their own.
If you dont know checkout Monkey Man by the wilburys. If your a Bruce fan you will enjoy it.
I remember the day after my dog died I wanted to go for a ride in the mustang I had been saving for the last few years of his life. I had always cleared my mind with music in that car but when I put on my playlist this was the first song that played. I almost rear ended someone that day cause I couldn’t see due to the tears in my eyes
My fav Boss written song and he had a lot. But this is my fav version. What a Band!
Didn't know this version existed. The Band doing Bruce...can't think of anything better.
RIP Levon, Richard & Rick you are dearly missed
To me this song is a metaphor for when you've lost it all, not just $, and you're at rock bottom, but for last time you pretend its all ok, forget about it all, and pull yourself together, walk proudly out that front door and just keepinggoing forward, never looking back.
Izzy loves that cool 😎good old U S A. music 🎸🎶 💘 Enjoy 1993.
"everything dies baby that's a fact, but maybe every someday comes back" - 28 year old here in 2022 good music is good music

I'm a woman of few words but this song is absolutely yyyummmy performed by The Band.
My son's lacrosse team has this as one of their warm up songs. So glad I accidentally discovered it.
You have admit it , Bruce brings the “Jersey” out in his version!
Garth's accordion on this song is amazing.
This song makes me really happy.
