I saw Randy on a BBC programme around 1978 (when we finally got colour tv!) and instantly knew he was one of the greats. (Same with Joni, Neil Young, etc) It's nearly 2022 now and he's still at the summit - a consummate writer of sublime melodies with a unique delivery. But oh! the poignancy of some of his lines! What an artist, what a man! I am indebted to him for some great moments in my life.
21 years ago "Feels Like Home" became the first song my wife and I danced to at our wedding. I sang it to her - not as well as Bonnie Raitt - as we danced. Thank you Mr. Newman for a wonderful song and a wonderful memory.
This beautiful song will live forever. It is a masterpiece. Both in melody and in lyric it is stunning. I first heard the version by Diana Krall and Bryan Adams and my heart was broken. I have now heard all the versions. I can't stop playing it. Dig deep, Randy. You've got more of these.
Randy.. I love how honest and Heartlfelt everything you do is. I myself am a musician, and I put you up in my top 10. Best wishes, and keep on keepin' on.
Here's another thumbs up Randy ! And that short people are still short 🥴. When acquiring that feeling of being "home", is when either alone or with others that help your soul feel "home," you are there 😁 ) !
I just want you to know that this song is really, really filled my heart with joy and warm feelings, like everytime i heard this song i feel like someone hugging me. Thank you for making this beautiful song ❤️❤️❤️
Wouldn't be too sure about that. I'm more on the Baltimore type of songs really. And the Faust album is as a whole fantastic as well. Love every single note and word.
You and me both. The man is a genius, perhaps that's what eludes the masses. Well, considering what people are listening to on the radio these days it kinda makes a little sense.
Rand, you should have been born and raised in Vienna, Austria. Your kind of humor and saying things is what people here are longing for. What Columbo is for Americans is Major Kottan for us Austrian. And he had your Little Criminals as soundtrack. Nothing would have fitted better.

I think this is one of those songs that is best when the singer does not have the best voice.

Great song Mr Newman, thank you.
Was also our marriage song, a couple of friends performed it for us at church. It was magic and will always stay.
Absolutely stunning!

This song makes me cry every single time. Song for the Dead, too. Thank you, Randy!
I love how you sing and what YOU write, there will never be another,,,,glad I was here, ty for the post
So...touching !!
He's right. It is what fans like best.

Thank you for writing this song :)

"Faust" is definitely not crap. I love it. Especially the songs that James Taylor sings sound like they had a good time recording them.
Beautiful, from the heart.
Love this guy - first heard of him when I heard Marie - still love that song
Mr. Randy you sure do sing a pretty love song.
Chantal Kreviazuk’s version is the best. It’s honestly one of my favourite tracks ever. It’s stunning.
there's a universe out there (and inside of us) full of all kinds of things; something like "the best" I haven't seen or heared in it yet.
How you don't have a larger following here is beyond me

I thought “Faust” was brilliant. Loved the album and wished I could have seen the LaJolla Playhouse production.
Definition of "Lovesong"? - "Feels like home", Randy Newman!
I love the song from 3rd Rock From the Sun. Any chance you'd publish it as a choral piece for men's chorus? (life has been good to me)
A very lovely and realistic love song. Opposite meanings? Not here.
