My dad took his own life when I was six. My Uncle, who was only 14, stepped up where no other man in my family did. He was there for me no matter what. He brought me out of my shell as a shy 15 yr old, he encouraged me to get to college and do the one thing I loved, bought me my first beer, took me to my first concert, got me my first job and took me on my first lads holiday. My Uncle Craig loved his music and always dedicated this song to my Dad. He was the only person that ever talked about him fondly. Most don't even mention my Dad's name. Craig did. He was a great man, with a huge heart and beautiful soul. He died two weeks ago quite suddenly and I am heartbroken. But I would not be half the man I am today without Craig. I probably would be living a shit life without his love, protection and teachings. And here I am living a great life with my beautiful wife and daughters. I'm having a rough day today but the emotion and love in this song helps. Until we meet up yonder. Rest in Peace.
Das Leben geht immer weiter,gute Menschen wie dein Onkel vergisst man nie.Auch ich habe gute Verwandte verloren sie Leben in unserer Erinnerung weiter.Alles gute im weiteren Leben. Willie Nelson gibt mir auch viel Kraft durch seine Songs.Liebe Grüße aus Thüringen. ❤❤❤❤❤❤🇩🇪
My mum had the most beautiful blue eyes. I watched my parents sing and dance to willie my whole life. We played this song at my Mum's funeral . My beautiful Dad sobbed with heartbreak. Four months later he passed away. I take comfort in knowing they " are strolling hand in hand again " . Thank you Willlie xx
I bet for a man, we'd all go back and spend more time w/ mom. But I'm sure no amount of effort or time would be enough. Unconditional love changes you. It leaves us all feeling like we wish we did more and I think that's beautiful.
Sang this song to my son as he was dying in my arms in the hospital. He had a big old smile on his face. But my blue eyes were a crying. My baby, my beautiful baby.
@@marlo2606This song bring back memories for me, my dad and I listen to it together and now it's still one of my favorite songs. What are some of your favorite song by Willie?
I choked though this song beside my mother when she was dying at hospice, it was one of her favorites. God in miss her, I love you momma. 6/2/47 12/27/23
I use to sing this song with my husband he passed away in 2011 with cancer, I miss him and I miss singing this song with him, Willie you killed it ,keep it up
I'm listening to Willie. Thinking about pops, 13 years since he's been gone on the 24th.and people say if you are black, you don't do country. Hell I was raised on it More type of music we need today
Music, great music transcends race/culture and nationality. It's universal, music is the highest art because it enriches the soul. "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world shall know peace". James Marshall Hendrix -1942-70 R.I.P
ANYONE SAYS YOU BLACK YOU DON'T DO COUNTRY DON'T KNOW SQUAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SAY THAT TO CHARLIE PRIDE, BROOK BENTON, AND RAY CHARLES, MAYBE OTHERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Listened to his song as soon as I heard my dad died. One of my sweetest memories is my father singing his song when I was a child, telling me about how beautiful it is... And it really is an amazing song, forever with a place in my memory and my heart.
Me to. My fondest memories are of my parents both singing these timeless songs to us while we were all together doing our chores, driving... My heart longs for them and those moments again.
This song has special meaning for me today. These blue eyes have cried over one of my sons in 1994; they cried again over my wife in 2013; again, over another son in July 2023, and most recently, another son just a few hours ago today. It never gets easier. The consolation is that we'll have a grand reunion someday. I grieve, but not as one who has no hope. Jesus is Lord.
I’m so sorry for the loss of your loved ones. You have endured so much. You have gone through these difficult times for reasons only the good Lord knows. He has a plan for all of us. He knows you are strong. The loss and pain you have endured is part of a Devine plan. It may never make sense, but there is great purpose in God’s plan for you. Keep your faith my friend. Everything will be ok. You will be ok.. Much love and Prayers coming your way🙏🏻❤️🤗🙏🏻
Heard it during work. Couldn't help but cry. Reminded me of Mom2 ,Joan. The minute she saw my family's stupid way of treating me . Right there she declared herself my Mom2. R.I.P Mom2!!! Miss you,love you. Until we meet again. ❤
My husband was so beautiful when he passed away his Beautiful blue eyes were wide Open and I kissed him and said to him "You have he most beautiful blue eyes I ever saw." So beautiful-- I miss him!
I grew up listening to my Mama & Daddy sing this song & I'd sing along. He went to heaven in 2006 & my beautiful little Mama joined him in August 2021. My heart is broken but I know they are praising Jesus & reuniting with each other & our loved ones. I look forward to seeing them again & Jesus! 🙏🏻✝️🕯️🕯️
This was my Dad’s favorite song, it was played at his funeral. My love for country music comes from him, I miss him every day. My dad played guitar and sang in a band, I appreciate music because of him.
I’m 36 now but when I was 4 I went to Disney land Florida with my sister for her last wish , before her death of brain tumour my dad got on stage and sang Willie Nelson songs for my sister , even though I was four I remember it like it was yesterday ! Amazing how a song can trigger a memory especially all them years ago
My Mom loved this song. She just passed away on October 17, 2023 she had previously requested Blue eyes crying in the rain, to be played at her funeral, as it was played. 💔
I used to bring the guitar out and sing this one to my grandmother Dorothy. It was her favorite song, I cry when I hear it now. Rest In Peace, my beautiful grandma Dot & thank you for everything, Willie. Always
I discovered this beautiful song through its cover by Alain Bashung, a famous French singer. Have a go at that one, it moves to tears each and every time... love the slide guitar in it.
My first husband was an Iranian Jew. He was the only Persian of Azerbaijani ethnicity I ever met who could hang out in Texas kicker bars in the 70's and 80's due to "the hostage crisis" caused by Ayatollah Khomeini. Andrew would sing this song to my Mom in her Austin, Texas kitchen. He loved her chili, her cooking in general. Andrew loved my mother so much she became his Mom in America. From this, he persuaded her to give me to him in arranged, Jewish marriage. This man had a unique, healing effect on my family, both collectively and each member individually. Each and every one of us loved him with a devoted level of admiration. He and several members of his family had worked for Shah and Shabanu up until time of exile to United States. Andy loved America and God with his entire being. He used to tell us things in combination with the western music he loved to sing with his thick, Persian accent. Some of it sounded as if he was giving us faith instructions before some kind of mysterious departure. His version of this song sounded like, "Blue eyes eh-cryeen' in dee rhain..." This made my momma laugh and laugh. Andy died a martyr in DeKalb, Georgia in February of 1995. Much like things he alluded to when talking to us. It was as if he had been trying to prepare us all along... We never got over his passing. None of us. His love and his music was a treasure to me and my entire family. Willie Nelson gave the world a small piece of art with this song.
I’m sorry for your loss…….I’ve had many Persian friends and they are some of the warmest people I have ever known. Never paint a people with a broad brush……..
My alcoholic dad threw me out in rural Mississippi back in '78 & there was a local Lyric Theater that I found work at. I would clean it up after the movies were over. My boss would have a tape of Willie Nelson playing as I worked & this song was on it. I loved it the first time I heard it. Now, I listen to it & see myself sleeping in the film booth on a pallet on the floor of that place. Cold, hungry, but free from abuse. I got to see the newest movies, had shelter at night & discovered the music I would cherish & listen to for the rest of my life. I'm 60 & just listened to it for the millionth time.
This is my favourite version of this song for two reasons. Willie's heartfelt singing and that unique, strident yet soulful notes he produces from Trigger which is such a big part of Willie's music.
I am a widower retired soldier that fought in Iraq I am a. government employee and a man but Willie I have loved you since my late wife introduced you to me and she and I saw you on six different occasions (concerts). That's all I want to say. Thank you Willie, Jimbo Vail
Lost my whole family in a terrible accident today. This was every single one of theirs favorite song. I will sing it at the funeral. They all had blue eyes.
My dad used to sing this song. We would sit on the porch and sing during thunderstorms. Tonight it was raining and I was thinking of him and started crying... my eyes are blue, too. 😢
This was the last song my Mom and I sang together on her dying bed. We sang it note for note and I imagine she used all her energy to sing along with me. The tears were streaming from my eyes as we finished the song and we both said, "I love you" when I had to leave for the day. That was the last time I heard my Mom's voice... as she passed away from complications from Alzheimer's the following day. I had just lost my Dad two years before that to a very aggressive Metastatic Sarcoma Cancer of the arm. The Mayo Clinic doctors said my Mom passed from Alzheimer's, but I know that since my Mom & Dad were High School Sweethearts and had been married 63 years before we lost my Dad... that she died of a broken heart. I write this as today would have been my Mom's 84th Birthday... the first Birthday I must spend without her. And all day today, my blue eyes will be crying in the rain... 😢
@@amie6085 Your words are very kind, Amie... thank you and God Bless you. ✝ You are certainly more than welcome... it remains a very painful time after losing both my Dad and my Mom so suddenly.
This is the last song my husband and I danced to a few days before we divorced. We loved each other, but we couldn't make it work. He passed away several years ago. Neither one of us ever remarried. Thanks for the good memories, Bill. 💙
I never knew my bio father. My step-father adopted me - he loved Willie. My step father was so mean, and he raised me with fear, not love. He was not a good man in any sense of the word. He died 2 years ago, and when I hear this song I cry - not because I mourn losing him - I cry for missing what was never there, and what should not have been.
My Dad loved to sing this song to my Mother... It was perfect for them, because that is the way he felt about her and she had blue eyes... For the 50 some years they were married... I love you Daddy and Mother.. May you RIP... Until we meet up yonder...
Hello Thanks for your comment and supports, your comments and constant support has brought me this far. Keep Supporting ❤️ Please send me a mail via. willienelsonmusic23@gmail.com
When I first heard "Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain" I was 6 a laddy of years old; the tune effected me emotionally;causing a pleasant feeling emanating from the pit of my stomach to fill my whole being with a soothing calm. When concerned or tense I would hum or sing that song to calm me down and think rationally still to this day at the age of 84 years.I thank the composer.
I think about this song when I look back at last year sleeping on the grass after moving to Texas with nothing not knowing anyone. With blue eyes crying in the rain I found God on that corner. And I found my home that day in Livingston Texas when I had no place to call my home.
When I fitst heard "Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain" I was a lad of 6 years and something about the tune stirred me emotionally;it caused a pleasant and soothing feeling emanating from the pit of my stomach and seemed to flow through my whole body.I just could not understand,since then I would hum the tune when feeling tense or worried and it would have a soothing effect on me to this day at the age of 84 years.
I've been playing for 3 yrs now, My dad used to play this song when I was a kid, he played it note for note.. Everytime I try to learn how to play it, I start crying lol funny how music and memories melt together.. I miss him so very much.. Hopefully I can hold tears back long enuff to play this for him
Erinnerung: es ist über 40 Jahre her, als ich als Austauschschüler nach Oxford Mississippi kam und dort auf viele Fraternity Brothers (Beta-theta-pi) traf. Es wurden sofort Freundschafen. Als dann ein Gegenbesuch nach Niedersachsen kam, spielten wir Willie im Auto Kassettenrekorder in der Fahrt in den Harz. Ich bewahre die Kassette noch heute. Willie ist neben Cash ein hörendes Denkmal!
You should have come here 20 years ago. We're in Saskatoon Saskatchewan... You're our poet. When the sun rises in the West and I don't want to do anything except hear you singing 'Seven Spanish Angels' with Ray Charles. What are we going to do when Willie Nelson is too famous to come to all the small cities and towns... God bless you Willie Nelson. Thank you for the music. We'll send you the song back to you "Rye Whiskey" by Michael Martin Murphy and we are down on bended knee thanking you for all the poetry you've given me... God bless you Willie. There's 30% of the hillbillies in our province that are still drinking a glass down and celebrating your music in Cudworth, Wakaw, Middle Lake, Humbolt, and Lake Lenore. We're celebrating your poetry.... God bless on bended knee, Willie Nelson, we pray to thee... Please come both Poncho and Lefty.
I saw him a few months ago and it was a great show. 83 and still doing concerts, playing LEAD guitar the WHOLE show, didn't sit down once...he's amazing. I love that guy.
Don't be surprised ok, it's true I don't usually do this. But the pandemic has really tore everything apart leaving lots of people depressed and sad. That's why am pasting my personal email address here via: willienelson00125@gmail.com to enable you share your opinions about my songs or send personal message you wish to share with me. I can't still appreciate everyone of you enough for the unconditional love and massive supports ❤️ it's because of you am here today. I hope you won't stop listening and supporting my songs.
My Dad and I both have blue eyes. He passed away in March of this year. I was down at my Mom's talking to her and it was like 2 days after he died and I got in my truck to go back home bawling my eyes out and as soon as I got in and turned the radio on the verse "Some day when we meet up younder" come on like he was telling me I'd see him again one day. Still gives me goose bumps to listen to this song! I love you, Dad.
My Grandfathers favorite song. Poor old country guy. Taught himself to play piano by ear. I remember him playing and singing this every night before bed.
My mother played this song for my grandmother as she passed on to the other side. Pancreatic cancer is sick. Song always stick a chord with me and can't get through the intro without crying even after 20 years. Love you grandma and I hope you are proud of me. I will always remember the lessons you taught me at a young age ♥️
Nobody can sing Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain (written by Fred Rose) like Willie! Oh, this is such a beautiful tune. Fabulous post and wonderful video. Thanks.
A shout out to all the grandparents out there that guaranteed this song live on through us younger folk. This is and will always be a timeless song, one that i will burn into the brains of my grandchildren as my grampa did unto me.........a song of epic proportions.
In my humble opinion, our music was the best and still can’t be beat hands down. It seems every week we are loosing our band members, song writers and musicians. Thank you for years of beautiful music 👏
I heard this song one morning on my way to work. It brought thoughts of the woman I seeing who later became my wife. Every time that I would hear it playing reminds me of her. Rest in peace babe some day perhaps we'll meet again.
My beloved dad used to sing dis song and after he passed I somehow came across this song and suddenly dis flashback of dads sweet face and it brought to tears😭
I've read the sad comments about people losing their children or other loved ones and they loved that song. Although my dad always jokingly said that Willie Nelson's voice sounded like cats in heat, dad always had a twinkle in his eye listening to his music anyway. God bless those in these comments who have lost their loved ones xox
The songs reminds me about mom. And the last time I saw her, when she was alive. I knew that was the last time I was going to see her. I cried and cried and I still haven't stopped crying. For some reason this song is special to me because it helps me feel the loss of my best friend my mother the best woman ever. I was so lucky to have a good mother. But dam. How am I supposed to live without her. I know I'll get over it and pick myself up but right now it feels like I never well.
@ Leanne.. I have footage of Dad singing me this song on the guitar at 87 yrs . His funeral is tomorrow. I have taken comfort in these words and have been learning to play it through my grief for when I receive his guitar .Thank you . I love you. See you up yonder Dad in a land with no parting. Xxxx
Watching willie plow the field made me cry. knowing what hard ships people before us had and how we dont respect the past or who made it easy for us......
I was 8 when I first heard and loved that song. I'm 53 now. My uncle was an officer in the French army and brought the record back from a mission in Texas. I remember listening to the record with my grand father and grand mother. Both passed away a long time ago now, but that song, and actually the whole album bring me back to blessed times.
Grazie mille per la condivisione 🙏 Bellissima canzone ed interpretazione caro Willie Nelson 🎶✨👍 Eccellente video 👌 Complimenti ed un meritato applauso 👏 A presto 🇮🇹✔️💙🤗
Out of 7 children, I turned out the one with blue eyes. As the baby, I was spoiled by all my older siblings but then my life became rather difficult, so my sweet brother always dedicated this song to me. He was a wonderful singer as Willie is truly wonderful.
The more I listen to this song the more I fall in love❤️. I don’t know if Willie Nelson wrote this song but I don’t care. It’s a master piece of artistic expression across a myriad of learned disciplines along with God given natural ability and talent. Long live Willie Nelson🙏
No, it was not Willie's song, but he made it famous, and it was his claim to fame. But it became "his song", and it is indeed; everyone agrees to that.

Je suis français, j'ai quinze ans et ce genre de chanson j'adore alors je souhaite remercier monsieur Willie Nelson pour toutes ces belles chanson qu'il à chanté
My dad took his own life when I was six. My Uncle, who was only 14, stepped up where no other man in my family did. He was there for me no matter what. He brought me out of my shell as a shy 15 yr old, he encouraged me to get to college and do the one thing I loved, bought me my first beer, took me to my first concert, got me my first job and took me on my first lads holiday.
My Uncle Craig loved his music and always dedicated this song to my Dad. He was the only person that ever talked about him fondly. Most don't even mention my Dad's name. Craig did.
He was a great man, with a huge heart and beautiful soul. He died two weeks ago quite suddenly and I am heartbroken.
But I would not be half the man I am today without Craig. I probably would be living a shit life without his love, protection and teachings. And here I am living a great life with my beautiful wife and daughters. I'm having a rough day today but the emotion and love in this song helps.
Until we meet up yonder.
Rest in Peace.

Your parents sound beautiful.

That is so beautiful... Thank you for sharing that. ❤
Sang this song to my son as he was dying in my arms in the hospital. He had a big old smile on his face. But my blue eyes were a crying. My baby, my beautiful baby.
Wow I ca not imagine that pain. So sorry for your loss.
Just listened to this song again after a long time and saw your post. Even though it's two years later I am so sorry for your loss
Aww poor thing rip his legacy is proudly remembered
It sure is. ❤
God bless you, David. One day you will see your precious boy again.
I love this song the same as I did when I heard it years ago. I'm listening in 2024. Who else is listening now? ❤
I'll have this played at my funeral its my favorite song. ❤

Ohhhh a sister’s love! 😢 May her love live within you forever and yonder!
sorry😢
bless you
ONLY GOD CAN EASE YOUR PAIN NOT THIS SONG OR VIDEO ONLY (GOD)
I'm listening to Willie. Thinking about pops, 13 years since he's been gone on the 24th.and people say if you are black, you don't do country. Hell I was raised on it
More type of music we need today
Those people haven’t been paying attention, have they? Check out the great Louis Armstrong!
That’s not true. I always liked Charlie Pride. And Chapel Hart is getting more famous every day. Of course, there are others.
Music, great music transcends race/culture and nationality.
It's universal, music is the highest art because it enriches the soul.
"When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world shall know peace".

ANYONE SAYS YOU BLACK YOU DON'T DO COUNTRY DON'T KNOW SQUAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SAY THAT TO CHARLIE PRIDE, BROOK BENTON, AND RAY CHARLES, MAYBE OTHERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Black or white country folk is a mindset
Willie is a national treasure and his legacy will never end
Right up there with Jimmie Rodgers, Bob Wills, Hank Williams. How many people identified with just one name? Willie is.
Így igaz
Amen ❤
This was the song that made me a huge Willie Nelson fan, way back when I was a young teenager. Red Headed stranger , a great album.
It was for me too, I listen to it with my Dad and we would sing along. I miss him so much.
Where are you from Roger?
Listened to his song as soon as I heard my dad died. One of my sweetest memories is my father singing his song when I was a child, telling me about how beautiful it is... And it really is an amazing song, forever with a place in my memory and my heart.
Me to. My fondest memories are of my parents both singing these timeless songs to us while we were all together doing our chores, driving... My heart longs for them and those moments again.
My grandfather used to sing mamas dont let your babies grow up to be cowboys. I constantly think about him and that song.
I used to rock my two daughters to sleep while singing this song.....they loved it. Mom and Dad introduced me to Waylon and Willie in the 70s.
Sorry for your loss.
This song has special meaning for me today. These blue eyes have cried over one of my sons in 1994; they cried again over my wife in 2013; again, over another son in July 2023, and most recently, another son just a few hours ago today. It never gets easier. The consolation is that we'll have a grand reunion someday. I grieve, but not as one who has no hope. Jesus is Lord.
I’m so sorry for the loss of your loved ones.
You have endured so much.
You have gone through these difficult times for reasons only the good Lord knows.
He has a plan for all of us.
He knows you are strong.
The loss and pain you have endured is part of a Devine plan. It may never make sense, but there is great purpose in God’s plan for you.
Keep your faith my friend.
Everything will be ok.
You will be ok..
Much love and Prayers coming your way🙏🏻❤️🤗🙏🏻

Arguably, his best song... I've heard other versions by the best in country music but none more real and touching as this is...
This version has Trigger.
I discovered this beautiful song through its cover by Alain Bashung, a famous French singer. Have a go at that one, it moves to tears each and every time... love the slide guitar in it.
i would argue not his best song but a awesome one though
There's only one best Willie Nelson song the one you're listening to at the time you're listening to it

Hi I'm here
Red Headed Stranger probably the greatest country album ever recorded.
One of the greatest songs of all time.
Definitely
🧢
Blue eyes scream crying in the rain !
Definitely thats forsure
Always gotta move forward
One of the best songs ever written, & I've never heard anyone top Willie's version.
My alcoholic dad threw me out in rural Mississippi back in '78 & there was a local Lyric Theater that I found work at. I would clean it up after the movies were over. My boss would have a tape of Willie Nelson playing as I worked & this song was on it. I loved it the first time I heard it. Now, I listen to it & see myself sleeping in the film booth on a pallet on the floor of that place. Cold, hungry, but free from abuse. I got to see the newest movies, had shelter at night & discovered the music I would cherish & listen to for the rest of my life. I'm 60 & just listened to it for the millionth time.
Elvis did
Elvis has a haunted sound I mean it sounded LIKE ELVIS WAS SINGING IT FROM THE GRAVE.
Amen
Hank sr version is really good too
This is my favourite version of this song for two reasons. Willie's heartfelt singing and that unique, strident yet soulful notes he produces from Trigger which is such a big part of Willie's music.
I am a widower retired soldier that fought in Iraq I am a. government employee and a man but Willie I have loved you since my late wife introduced you to me and she and I saw you on six different occasions (concerts). That's all I want to say.
Thank you Willie,
Jimbo Vail
Lost my whole family in a terrible accident today. This was every single one of theirs favorite song. I will sing it at the funeral. They all had blue eyes.
I'm so sorry. God bless, comfort, and heal you. (((Hugs))) 🫂
REALLY . . .
My dad used to sing this song. We would sit on the porch and sing during thunderstorms. Tonight it was raining and I was thinking of him and started crying... my eyes are blue, too. 😢
This was the last song my Mom and I sang together on her dying bed. We sang it note for note and I imagine she used all her energy to sing along with me. The tears were streaming from my eyes as we finished the song and we both said, "I love you" when I had to leave for the day. That was the last time I heard my Mom's voice... as she passed away from complications from Alzheimer's the following day. I had just lost my Dad two years before that to a very aggressive Metastatic Sarcoma Cancer of the arm. The Mayo Clinic doctors said my Mom passed from Alzheimer's, but I know that since my Mom & Dad were High School Sweethearts and had been married 63 years before we lost my Dad... that she died of a broken heart. I write this as today would have been my Mom's 84th Birthday... the first Birthday I must spend without her. And all day today, my blue eyes will be crying in the rain... 😢
This is beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing your pain, and also the love.
So much love to you sir, I aspire to this as a man in a age where this doesn’t exist
🤍
@@amie6085 Your words are very kind, Amie... thank you and God Bless you. ✝ You are certainly more than welcome... it remains a very painful time after losing both my Dad and my Mom so suddenly.
@@Taylorsmith-rj8vj Thank you and God Bless you for responding with such kind words of comfort... you are so very kind. ✝
For Mamaw... You've been gone for 45 years, and I still love and miss you as if it were yesterday.
This is the last song my husband and I danced to a few days before we divorced. We loved each other, but we couldn't make it work. He passed away several years ago. Neither one of us ever remarried. Thanks for the good memories, Bill. 💙
I never knew my bio father. My step-father adopted me - he loved Willie. My step father was so mean, and he raised me with fear, not love. He was not a good man in any sense of the word. He died 2 years ago, and when I hear this song I cry - not because I mourn losing him - I cry for missing what was never there, and what should not have been.
❤
Hi 😂🎉
So simple and so perfect. There will never be another Willie.
Hello dear how are you doing hope you’re doing fine?
Fred Rose wrote this song. Willie did a good cover of it.
I just don't get it how can all our music fade I thought my son all this and I'm still the only one listening
There's only one Willie Nelson
🎼🎵🎵
My Dad loved to sing this song to my Mother... It was perfect for them, because that is the way he felt about her and she had blue eyes... For the 50 some years they were married... I love you Daddy and Mother.. May you RIP... Until we meet up yonder...
I love to listen to this song and watch the video. 😅
Hello beautiful lady
Hello Martha how are you doing

Hello Martha how are you doing!!
When I first heard "Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain" I was 6 a laddy of years old; the tune effected me emotionally;causing a pleasant feeling emanating from the pit of my stomach to fill my whole being with a soothing calm.
When concerned or tense I would hum or sing that song to calm me down and think rationally still to this day at the age of 84 years.I thank the composer.
No matter you're mood this man can just make everything feel amazing
Lol true the ha
So true
I think about this song when I look back at last year sleeping on the grass after moving to Texas with nothing not knowing anyone. With blue eyes crying in the rain I found God on that corner. And I found my home that day in Livingston Texas when I had no place to call my home.
I was adopted as a child and grew up waltzing to this with my beautiful elderly mother. Amazing memories, miss her so much. Xx
When I fitst heard "Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain" I was a lad of 6 years and something about the tune stirred me emotionally;it caused a pleasant and soothing feeling emanating from the pit of my stomach and seemed to flow through my whole body.I just could not understand,since then I would hum the tune when feeling tense or worried and it would have a soothing effect on me to this day at the age of 84 years.
I've been playing for 3 yrs now, My dad used to play this song when I was a kid, he played it note for note.. Everytime I try to learn how to play it, I start crying lol funny how music and memories melt together.. I miss him so very much.. Hopefully I can hold tears back long enuff to play this for him
I feel same way too, my Dad and I bonded over this song and whenever I listen to it, I can't help myself to crying. I miss him so much 😢
Beautiful song sung by one of the world's greatest.
Erinnerung: es ist über 40 Jahre her, als ich als Austauschschüler nach Oxford Mississippi kam und dort auf viele Fraternity Brothers (Beta-theta-pi) traf. Es wurden sofort Freundschafen. Als dann ein Gegenbesuch nach Niedersachsen kam, spielten wir Willie im Auto Kassettenrekorder in der Fahrt in den Harz. Ich bewahre die Kassette noch heute. Willie ist neben Cash ein hörendes Denkmal!
When I was born and my father first held me,this was the song he sang to me when he saw I had my mother's blue eyes...the first song I ever heard :)
My Dads favorite song,we had played at his funeral, love u dad!!!
Wow!!! Thanks a lot for your lovely and support . Also for taking your precious time to support me in my music career...
Love you Willie! My mama and I never missed seeing you when you came to Dallas and Fort Worth in the 70’s and 80’s ❤
❤️Dad
MY HEART IS BROKEN , I AM SO LONELY NOW, AND AM TRYING TO GET THROUGH THIS ONE DAY AT A TIME
You should have come here 20 years ago. We're in Saskatoon Saskatchewan... You're our poet. When the sun rises in the West and I don't want to do anything except hear you singing 'Seven Spanish Angels' with Ray Charles. What are we going to do when Willie Nelson is too famous to come to all the small cities and towns... God bless you Willie Nelson. Thank you for the music. We'll send you the song back to you "Rye Whiskey" by Michael Martin Murphy and we are down on bended knee thanking you for all the poetry you've given me... God bless you Willie. There's 30% of the hillbillies in our province that are still drinking a glass down and celebrating your music in Cudworth, Wakaw, Middle Lake, Humbolt, and Lake Lenore. We're celebrating your poetry.... God bless on bended knee, Willie Nelson, we pray to thee... Please come both Poncho and Lefty.
I saw him a few months ago and it was a great show. 83 and still doing concerts, playing LEAD guitar the WHOLE show, didn't sit down once...he's amazing. I love that guy.

Hello Beatrice how are you doing
Don't be surprised ok, it's true I don't usually do this. But the pandemic has really tore everything apart leaving lots of people depressed and sad. That's why am pasting my personal email address here via: willienelson00125@gmail.com to enable you share your opinions about my songs or send personal message you wish to share with me. I can't still appreciate everyone of you enough for the unconditional love and massive supports ❤️ it's because of you am here today. I hope you won't stop listening and supporting my songs.
My Dad and I both have blue eyes. He passed away in March of this year. I was down at my Mom's talking to her and it was like 2 days after he died and I got in my truck to go back home bawling my eyes out and as soon as I got in and turned the radio on the verse "Some day when we meet up younder" come on like he was telling me I'd see him again one day. Still gives me goose bumps to listen to this song! I love you, Dad.
I know the feeling man. This is a special song
My Grandfathers favorite song. Poor old country guy. Taught himself to play piano by ear. I remember him playing and singing this every night before bed.
My mother played this song for my grandmother as she passed on to the other side. Pancreatic cancer is sick. Song always stick a chord with me and can't get through the intro without crying even after 20 years. Love you grandma and I hope you are proud of me. I will always remember the lessons you taught me at a young age ♥️
I lost my dad to cancer as well, I which I could played this song for him one last time.
Nobody can sing Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain (written by Fred Rose) like Willie! Oh, this is such a beautiful tune. Fabulous post and wonderful video. Thanks.
A shout out to all the grandparents out there that guaranteed this song live on through us younger folk. This is and will always be a timeless song, one that i will burn into the brains of my grandchildren as my grampa did unto me.........a song of epic proportions.
This song is burned into my soul. Unfortunately theres no way I can ever rock blue eyes but I can still rock the song.
In my humble opinion, our music was the best and still can’t be beat hands down. It seems every week we are loosing our band members, song writers and musicians. Thank you for years of beautiful music 👏
Not my Grandparents but my Awesome old dad a proper cockney London Boy with the heart of an old cowboy!!
So much emotion in his version of this song.
An all time hero for so many people. He puts his money where is heart is.
Of all time
The fact that trigger feels the song is pure genius by willie.
What other version is there...?
@@beavisroadhog9629 Hank Williams
I heard this song one morning on my way to work. It brought thoughts of the woman I seeing who later became my wife. Every time that I would hear it playing reminds me of her. Rest in peace babe some day perhaps we'll meet again.
I'm sorry so for your loss, my Dad and I listen to this song together and he died of cancer few years ago, I still miss him.
I was blessed to see Willy as my first concert, I was just 13 and my parents said come you’ll have fun. Thank god for being brought up by hippies 🙏🏻
The last song Elvis ever sang. He played this on the piano hours before he died😔
Hello there Yvonne nice meeting you here
Pay no mind to the negative. This man has brought us so much pleasure with music. Thank you WILLIE NELSON.❤❤❤❤❤
My beloved dad used to sing dis song and after he passed I somehow came across this song and suddenly dis flashback of dads sweet face and it brought to tears😭
Hey how are you doing today?
Nobody has ever come close to Willie's version of this song.
+tim henslee Song was written by Fred Rose. First recorded by Roy Acuff. Covered by many other artists. My favorite is Hank Sr. version.
+A Jackson I LOVE hank sr. too. =) I know the history of Fred Rose and his partner but still Willie's is the one that stirs my soul.
Vince Gill does a great version.
He did a great duet with Shania twain
Agreed!
I've read the sad comments about people losing their children or other loved ones and they loved that song. Although my dad always jokingly said that Willie Nelson's voice sounded like cats in heat, dad always had a twinkle in his eye listening to his music anyway. God bless those in these comments who have lost their loved ones xox
Hello how are you
Oh Lord I miss my family so much. The tears never stop. God bless you all.
Me too! And may God bless you also.
Hello Veronica how are you doing!!
My mama's favorite song
Today would be her birthday
Happy Birthday Mama
I Miss you
I Love you❤
I'm a widow this song gives me hope that I will walk with the love of my life once again in the heavens hand in hand thanks willy
Wow!!! Thanks a lot for your lovely and support . Also for taking your precious time to support me in my music career...
The last 2 songs that Elvis played on his piano the day he died were unchained melody and blue eyes crying in the rain.
Elvis is still alive..we shall see him n many others soon.What a celebration!!!💃🇺🇸💃🇺🇸💃🇺🇸💃🇺🇸
The songs reminds me about mom. And the last time I saw her, when she was alive. I knew that was the last time I was going to see her. I cried and cried and I still haven't stopped crying. For some reason this song is special to me because it helps me feel the loss of my best friend my mother the best woman ever. I was so lucky to have a good mother. But dam. How am I supposed to live without her. I know I'll get over it and pick myself up but right now it feels like I never well.
@ Leanne.. I have footage of Dad singing me this song on the guitar at 87 yrs . His funeral is tomorrow. I have taken comfort in these words and have been learning to play it through my grief for when I receive his guitar .Thank you . I love you. See you up yonder Dad in a land with no parting. Xxxx
My deeply condolences for your loss. I pray your memories help soften your grief. May he rest in peace.
@@jawarden2006 Thank you for your kind words ,I appreciate them.
EVERYTIME I PLAY THIS SONG .I GET A LUMP IN MY THROUT ,AND A TEAR IN MY EYE .
Yep!!
Same ✌️
Watching willie plow the field made me cry. knowing what hard ships people before us had and how we dont respect the past or who made it easy for us......
Gives a moment of peace like all of Willies movies and songs .I damn sure need those moments of peace.
we all need it
amen
autum leaves music
I was 8 when I first heard and loved that song. I'm 53 now. My uncle was an officer in the French army and brought the record back from a mission in Texas. I remember listening to the record with my grand father and grand mother. Both passed away a long time ago now, but that song, and actually the whole album bring me back to blessed times.
One of the most beautiful songs I have heard. Especially the version of Willie Nelson and Shaina Twain. So much of emotions in this song
There is so much heart in country music if you just look. Sadly today's "bro country" has sucked out that beauty.
I totally agree with you, whenever I listen to this song; I fell a connection to it.
What are some of your favorite song by Willie Nelson?
Willie was my dads favorite. RIP daddy, this song will always remind me of our fishing trip.
Love you always. Ben. Xx
Grazie mille per la condivisione 🙏 Bellissima canzone ed interpretazione caro Willie Nelson 🎶✨👍 Eccellente video 👌 Complimenti ed un meritato applauso 👏 A presto 🇮🇹✔️💙🤗

Such a beautiful song sung by a legend. Grew up listening to only rock but have come to appreciate country. One of the best
Hello Debra I see happiness all around you, can I please share from it?
My dad's favorite song. We had it sung at his funeral four years ago, three days from now.
@Willie Nelson Thank you for blessing the world with your talent❤

@Willie Nelson that sir, would blow my mind
@Willie Nelson wish this was true..... my daughter says you only have 4 subscribers?? I'll try to see you in Phoenix
THIS MAN IS A LEGEND IN ALL MANNERS OF THE WORD !!!!
Out of 7 children, I turned out the one with blue eyes. As the baby, I was spoiled by all my older siblings but then my life became rather difficult, so my sweet brother always dedicated this song to me. He was a wonderful singer as Willie is truly wonderful.
💙

Very possibly the #1 best-ever old cowboy ever sang by any human. The ultimate.
Whenever I listen to this song I feel a connection to it. Willie is a legend.
sorry for your loss. your Dad had heart if he loved this song. only ppl with hearts can appreciate willie and his harmony.

One of my favorite songs - period. You could feel the sorrow of a lost love in every word and every chord. Thank you Willie Nelson.
From the classic Red Headed Stranger. I've loved this LP since 73 & I wasn't crazy about country music. What an awakening. Thanks Willie.
Hey how are you doing today..?
I absolutely love this song.
The more I listen to this song the more I fall in love❤️. I don’t know if Willie Nelson wrote this song but I don’t care. It’s a master piece of artistic expression across a myriad of learned disciplines along with God given natural ability and talent. Long live Willie Nelson🙏
No, it was not Willie's song, but he made it famous, and it was his claim to fame. But it became "his song", and it is indeed; everyone agrees to that.
I love Willie Nelson's music

Je suis français, j'ai quinze ans et ce genre de chanson j'adore alors je souhaite remercier monsieur Willie Nelson pour toutes ces belles chanson qu'il à chanté
Billie Nelson est un exellent chanteur , c'est vrai! mais je te conseil d'aller checker la meme chancon de Hank Williams
@@arnaudstral sans oublier la splendide version de Gene Vincent .
taking the water and a nod of thank you.. and the recognition of memories.. WOW!
sitting at home in the uk 76years listening to willie not ashamed to admit I am crying

Me too
You shouldn't be ashamed
No shame brotha!!
Not surprising considering that you are from the UK, nothing but sissies.
My mom passed away week ago she loved this song I had to pull over to the side of the road crying so munch willi what a beautiful song
Hello karra, how are you doing?
A voz deste cantor ficará na história!
Always loved this song. It has a special place now. My husband passed Aug 9, 2023. My blue eyes are crying in the rain.
💗
Willie tied a red bandana around my head when I was 2 years old. My idol
Have a ffew drinks and cherish that moment ♥️
No he didn't.
@@recoilxj556may3 how do you know

This has to be one of the best love songs ever written
You are so right!💫🍃🌿🎻🌸🎻🌿🍃💫
Hey

Yes, agree. so simple and so sweet. One of my favorite all-time songs, especially with Willie singing.
