      Hey Peter
      Garth here in Dublin.
      Great you feel it, 70 or whatever. The song is sad as bejaysus, no question.
      Better to have loved than lost though right?
      For a fella, to get with a woman like so, well, hell, that's something.
      Saw Kris live about every time he came to Ireland, momma was in love with him, don't tell daddy!
      All's I'm saying is smile in the presence of LOVE, gone or still present. X hugs from li'l ole Ireland

    Kris has written more songs that many people have no idea he wrote. He’s a brilliant songwriter, singer, songwriter, actor and man. I’m so happy that he got sober and found God & he’s now happily married living his best life in Hawaii. Thank you Kris for many years of great music and movies. I’m 62 years old, I’ve been through it all with you. I’ve watched you stumble across a stage, slur your words but you kept going. You followed your heart. And your heart will never steer you wrong. God bless you man. Sending you hugs, love & prayers from your friends back in New Orleans, Louisiana! 🤗🤗❤️❤️🙏🙏

    This is a very tender love song; probably one of the best ever written. It is so evocative and conjures up that sadness when something that was lovely has to end. I think Kris Kristofferson sings it wonderfully.

    My earliest memories were of laying beneath the piano as my father played. As I got older, I recognized he had bad habits in playing, and affectations that marred his music. He played with great panache, but seldom with great feeling. In his later years, he grew sicker and weaker in the mind and he began to not be able to play. He was giving up on life. He just wasn't meant to be an old man. He couldn't be weak or frail. It just wasn't him. Playing the piano now just made him frustrated because he couldn't execute anymore. One day he played a song I had never heard him play, - not in his repertoire which I knew backward and forwards - and all the affectations and bad habits were shed. It was just him playing not from his head but from his heart. It was the most beautiful I'd ever heard him play. Flawless and perfectly tempo'd., tender and warm and so real it sent shivers across my skin. He put whatever remaining life he possessed into that song. He finished and said quietly "For the Good Times." That was the last I ever heard him play. He died shortly after. My father was not an emotional man, nor was he nostalgic - but he played this song from memory, or ear, or from the ether, and played it perfectly, but more importantly it came straight from his soul in a way that I had never seen him allow - and it was power-ful. Somewhere along the line he heard this song, and it made a permanent impression upon him, long before I was born. This was what his version sounded like. I just wanted to share that story. Peace.

    • @biggestkkfan1506
      @biggestkkfan1506  Рік тому +2

      Thank you for sharing this. And yes, this original version by Kris is just the most emotional version of his song. Maybe the one on the Austin Sessions even topped it. Have you ever heard that one?

He knew the meaning of every single word in it.... he wrote it... on a lonesome drive from Nashville to the Gulf where he 'd fly a helicopter to the oil rigs. But that's my opinion...I just love his voice that can express so many emotions and much prefer to hear him sing every single song of him himself.

    Kristofferson was and is one of the all time great poet/songwriters. I don't think his voice ever came close to matching his writing, but so many recorded so much of his work that he's likely heard as much as anyone ever has been. From Johnny Cash to Janis Joplin to Willie Nelson his words are heard by hundreds of millions. Pretty elite company Kris resides in. Van Zandt is another whose words had a magical quality. Just words, but strung together in such a way as to capture feelings like few ever could.

    One of the most touching appreciative songs after a love relationship/love affair endet.
    I know this piece of art since I was a child (born in 1972) and without having understood the lyrics, I could literally feel what this song is about exactly. Still today I am convinced, love relationships could change like this to a friendship. This is a beautiful and touching petition against wars of roses.

      it definately is... Though his version on the 1999 album The Austin Sessions is really beautiful too. As each song on that album it is so beautifully done. I added that version to another video.

    What an artist. A true artist eloquently induces his feelings into the listener with his voice and way of words while writing. Such beautifully sung and written ART portrayed by one of the greatest song writers ever! It’s quite wild I’ve never listened to him other than in the “highwayman” my focus of beautiful music will include this man here until I pass!

    Saw Kris two weeks ago in Annapolis in a venue of 150 seats. 81 years old and hasn't lost a step. Fantastic show. Did most of the songs from Silver Tongue Devil and I. He wrote every song that he sang. It was just him and his guitars(s) on stge. I cried through Jody and the Kid. He did this and I had never realized he had written it. The pedigree of this man is unbelievable.

      I saw him a few years in a small venue with just his guitar. I love Jody and the Kid too. After the show, I wondered out to the back of the building where his buses were. There were others waiting to get his autograph. I was fortunate that I was able to get his autograph and a hug. I almost swooned!
