    Lyrics:
    Your world was so different from mine don't you see
    We just couldn't be close and though we tried
    We both reached for Heavens but ours weren't the same
    That's what happens when two worlds collide
    Your world was made up of things sweet and good
    My world could never fit in, wish it could
    Two hearts lie in shambles and oh how they've cried
    That's what happens when two worlds collide
    Your world was made up of things sweet and good
    And my world could never fit in, wish it could
    Two hearts lie in shambles and oh how they've cried
    That's what happens when two worlds collide
    Singer. Songwriter. Poet. Icon.
    John Prine was an artist’s artist with a list of admirers and collaborators that cut across musical genres and generations - names like Kris Kristofferson, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Bonnie Raitt, Johnny Cash, Tom Petty, Brandi Carlile, George Strait, Kurt Vile, Miranda Lambert, The Everly Brothers, Emmylou Harris, among others.
    Though he was born in Maywood, Illinois, in 1946, John declared himself “pure Kentuckian” throughout his life. His parents, Willian and Verna, were natives of Paradise, Kentucky. The family would spend summers there in Muhlenberg County, where John listened to bluegrass music and studied the guitar styles of country music heroes Doc Watson and Merle Travis with his older brother, Dave.
    In Maywood, he worked as a postman before being drafted into the army in 1966. It was as a postman that John began to write the songs that would connect with so many. He sang at Chicago folk clubs, where he was introduced to singer-songwriter Kris Kristopherson, who invited John to open for him in New York. It was there that Jerry Wexler, president of Atlantic Records, first heard Prine and offered him a recording contract. His self-titled debut album was released in 1971 and featured a list of songs now regarded as classics, including “Paradise,” “Angel From Montgomery,” “Illegal Smile,” Hello in There,” and “Sam Stone.” Prine received the first of his 13 Grammy nominations in 1972 for Best New Artist. He would record three more albums for Atlantic and another three with Asylum.
    His profound impact on American music was amplified in 1981 when John co-founded Oh Boy Records, and independent label where he released most of his subsequent work and which gave voice and respect to so many fellow singers and songwriters.
    In his distinguished career, John won four Grammys and the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award (2020). He was a three-time recipient of the Artist of the Year Award at the Americana Music Honors & Awards, which also honored him with the Lifetime Achievement Award for Songwriting. He won the Pen/New England Song Lyrics of Literary Excellence Award (2016) and was enshrined in the Songwriters Hall of Fame (2019). In addition, John was named Honorary Poet Laureate of Illinois (2020).
    John Prine passed away on April 7, 2020 due to complications from Covid-19. The outpouring of grief and love from his fan community was staggering. Over 500,000 viewers participated in an online memorial and tribute that raised more than half a million dollars for Covid-related community causes. In 2021, the Prine family created the Hello In There Foundation to honor John’s spirit of generosity towards those in need. Fiona Prine and her sons continue to operate and expand the reach of John’s independent record label, Oh Boy Records.

    You can tell by the laughs so many hadn’t heard this song before. It’s sorta new to me too but I found John Prine by listening to Jesse Welles here on UA-cam. Many people compared Jesse to John.
    John did a Blaze Fowler song Clay Pigeons and I again found Blaze thru that.
    Music is generational and wonderful. 🎉🎉

    John Prine is dead it’s a sad Day.
    The first album I bought was in 1972 I had the pleasure of seeing him about 7 times.
    2 times in the last 2 years and had tickets to see him in November 2020.
    I’ll miss John and the new songs.

    As a Vietnam veteran, John's song, Sam Stone, helped many of us avoid the pitfall that Sam Stone endured. It gave me pause and made me a better man. Love to John and his family.
