  • This is one of the most beautiful songs ever, it's a traditional tune arranged by Ry Cooder for the amazing soundtrack for Wim Wenders' "Paris, Texas" (1984).
    I do not own the copyright for this song, just think that it should be available for more people to listen to it.

    This was my dad's favorite movie. He and I watched it many times together before I was even in school. The image of the man in the red cap burnt into my mind for years and I couldn't remember why. My dad would always talk about visiting Paris, Texas. So much that it bothered my mom. I'd always feel nostalgic and sentimental when I hear Spanish/Mexican guitar. My father dies and 5 years later I stumble upon this. I don't know what to say.

      The music is hypnotic! It has some outer world power and feel. I am sorry that your father has passed. Maybe sometime in the future you will indeed visit Paris Texas.

      Sargeant saxophone, did your father ever get to go to Paris, Texas? And did he want to go before he watched the movie? or after? I mean, was it because of the movie? I truly love this movie and song.

    Let us all honor the fact that is one of America's greatest actors singing this most impossibly beautiful song. Known for years as a great character actor and beloved and admired by others in LaLa Hollywood who knew real greatness, Harry Dean Stanton never won a major award, and "Paris, Texas" was his only substantial lead role. Yet he was the very best at his craft. . And he was not a professional singer, yet he does the greatest singing job ever with this extraordinary song, and the great craftsman that he was, he gets all of the powerful emotions of this song just right. HDS kept singing this song until he was 91. RIP, Unsung Legend.

    The best movie ever made for a rough father/son relationship. Love is strange, and maybe he was too old- maybe she’s too young, and maybe you’re just too important to lose.
    Sometimes the only way to love somebody is from the start; as a stranger.

  • @richardlogan1021

    The Kentuckian with the Mexican soul pairs with the greatest guitarist of our time for this kind of music to perform one of the most painfully beautiful renditions of the most deeply moving song of loss ever written anywhere. There is great wisdom here: African poet-philosopher and legendary singer activist said this: "The more painful the story a song tells, the more beautiful we must make the music. We do this to defuse the tension."

    Canción escrita por el compositor Oaxaqueño José López Alvarez entre 1912 y 1915
    ¡Qué lejos estoy del suelo donde he nacido!
    inmensa nostalgia invade mi pensamiento;
    y al verme tan solo y triste cual hoja al viento,
    quisiera llorar, quisiera morir de sentimiento.
    ¡Oh Tierra del Sol! Suspiro por verte
    ahora que lejos yo vivo sin luz, sin amor;
    y al verme tan solo y triste cual hoja al viento,
    quisiera llorar, quisiera morir de sentimiento.
    How far I am from the land where I was born!
    Immense nostalgia invades my heart;
    And seeing myself so lonely and sad like a leaf in the wind,
    I want to cry, I want to die from this feeling.
    Oh Land of Sun! I yearn to see you!
    Now that I'm so far from you, I live without light and love;
    And seeing myself so lonely and sad like a leaf in the wind,
    I want to cry, I want to die from this feeling.

    Ry Cooder doesn't try to be the fastest guitarist, he concentrates on bringing out the guitar's beauty. His playing and Harry DS's raw emotion can soften the coldest of hearts. RC had to convince Harry DS that he was good enough to sing the song - I'm eternally grateful that he did. After recording his vocal, Harry DS said 'I can't stress too much how much Ry Cooder was an influence on me. Having one of the most respected musicians around like my singing reeally gave me the confidence to do it.'

    Simply tears me up every time I hear this. Both the instrumental version and the version (this one) where Harry Dean Stanton sings this heart-breaking ranchera. I was working on a creative project in NYC once and this soundtrack was playing - when this came on I stood where I was and bawled. Much to the amazement of the woman I was working with.

      Fun Fact: this song was written by a Oaxacan Mixteco musician who left his beloved home state to try to find work at the capital (Mexico D.F.) this is his song about missing Oaxaca. That's why it's called Cancion mixteca, because Mixtecos are from predominantly from Oaxaca.

    I love this song. I first heard it when Harry Dean Stanton came out on Letterman to push the movie. He sang it ad lib with the guitar guy backing him (Will?). He threw in a "grito", the crowd laughed thinking Harry was joking but he wasn't and he just kept going full speed ahead totally into it.

    What kind of music exactly is this? I know it´s mecican, but is it a subgenere?

      This is a valse. A romantic song, traditional.

      It is a slow ranchera. There are many of them from the Revolución Mexicana era.
