When I was a young man I liked to drink and pick guitar and the Pilgrim was one of my favorite songs. I had a buddy him and I would sing it in bars. Still picking but quit the drinking.
What I like about this show (PBS) is that it doesn’t feel like it’s a concert, and there’s no borderline between the audience and Kris and the band. Looks more like if Kris were to pick his guitar and sing his songs in the circle of his buddies, and a keyboardist and a bassist joined him slowly, just to have a good time. 🙂
The best. Happy travels in your new journey beyond this life. I've always love you, Kris. Thank you for the beautiful lyrics and music that have brought me peace since 1973
Kakav glas i opuštena pojava koja odaje samopouzdanje!! K. K je bio veliki da današnji pjevači nisu ni dostojni njegove sjenke!! Počivaj u miru veliki čovječe živiš vječno u svojim pjesmama i ulogama!!
One of the best songwriters☀️ ...What a grande fellow.🤩..He once said Irelands audiences🍀 were his fav and the best to play for....he stood up for Sinead🍀 O'Connor on stage ... even wrote a song about her and the ill treatment she endured for decades... now they are having the last laugh together as she was right about so many things she fought for, as was he ✅️...both way ahead of their time in standing up for the underprivileged and the wrongs of the world again and again...⭐️ In 1992, Kris Kristofferson comforted Sinéad O'Connor when she was booed off the stage at a Bob Dylan anniversary concert for tearing up popes picture which was aimed to bring awareness to the church and ill❌️ treatment of innocent children. Sinéad O'Connor, just 25 years old at the time, was introduced on stage by American singer-songwriter Kris Kristofferson. He later wrote this for her saying... May we all have her courage. May we all tell the truth.🫶 Words to the song are: "I'm singing this song for my sister Sinead Concerning the god awful mess that she made When she told them her truth just as hard as she could Her message profoundly was misunderstood There's humans entrusted with guarding our gold And humans in charge of the saving of souls And humans responded all over the world Condemning that bald headed brave little girl And maybe she's crazy and maybe she ain't But so was Picasso and so were the saints And she's never been partial to shackles or chains She's too old for breaking and too young to tame It's askin' for trouble to stick out your neck In terms of a target a big silhouette But some candles flicker and some candles fade And some burn as true as my sister Sinead And maybe she's crazy and maybe she ain't But so was Picasso and so were the saints And she's never been partial to shackles or chains She's too old for breaking and too young to tame” You were both the best truth advocates we had💯 ...fly high and have fun 🎉playing whereever you both are🎵
Tenia una voz hermosa,varonil y seductora, era encantador, siempre lo escucho y vi varias de sus peliculas, gracias por el video, gracias a la internet pude escucharlo mas y apreciarlo! Octubre 2024, Uruguay!❤❤❤
I think about Sunday Morning Coming Down every Sunday morning I wake up, then I realize there will be a Sunday Morning I won't wake up, but that's all right with me.
There was a wonderful video of Jason Isbell and Amanda Shires performing this song live, with Kris in the near table. The video is nowhere to be found now
Yea. Loved that video. And Kris's reaction was great. Bummer it's gone now. I hope it gets uploaded again. I cant imagine performing one of Your heroes songs, in front of them. Jason, did it justice.
Wow! He just mentioned Hopper, Harry Dean etc. - he was one of the guys! Knew art, quality, true to himself, they don' t make them like this anymore. Now we have LGBTG / woke shite bla blabla blaaaaa effing weirdoes doting their crap. Btw I'm 69, and angry! What a crappy world we live in now...
This man hasn’t written a song that I don’t like. Such a great storyteller ❤
👍
Some people didn't like his voice ,but I loved it ! His voice fit all his songs well. RIP KRIS ❤
He had the perfect voice for the music he wrote.
Well said❤️❤️❤️❤️🎶🎶🎶🎶
Absolutely. The soulful voice, those words, the authenticity that only Kris Kristofferson can claim.
So well said
What a gem
No one else had a voice that fit his songs (Never will). Rest In Peace Mr. Kristofferson.
God Bless America, God Save The Republic.
Just my opinion. One of America's greatest poets. My favorite poet. A Silver Tongued Devil.
Thanks for the music and the memories Kris. Rest easy ❤
Loved his voice so gruff. Soulful. Real. His music reflected his life. RIP.
I have been a fan of his since the first time I heard him, but this is the first time I have ever heard this song. Awesome
that key change reminds me of how my dad played. RIP, Kris Kristofferson and thanks for all the great songs.
Just heard of his passing. This had to be the first song of his I played. RIP Kris, you've always been the best friend I never met.
❤️

Words to the song are:
"I'm singing this song for my sister Sinead
Concerning the god awful mess that she made
When she told them her truth just as hard as she could
Her message profoundly was misunderstood
There's humans entrusted with guarding our gold
And humans in charge of the saving of souls
And humans responded all over the world
Condemning that bald headed brave little girl
And maybe she's crazy and maybe she ain't
But so was Picasso and so were the saints
And she's never been partial to shackles or chains
She's too old for breaking and too young to tame
It's askin' for trouble to stick out your neck
In terms of a target a big silhouette
But some candles flicker and some candles fade
And some burn as true as my sister Sinead
And maybe she's crazy and maybe she ain't
But so was Picasso and so were the saints
And she's never been partial to shackles or chains
She's too old for breaking and too young to tame”
You were both the best truth advocates we had💯 ...fly high and have fun 🎉playing whereever you both are🎵
Brilliant tune !!
It must be said that Kris was among the greatest country singers. He leaves a great void behind.
Rip Kris 💔😢

Beautiful
You said it best, Kris- from the rocking of the cradle to the rolling of the hearse, the going up was worth the coming down.
Que voz maravilhosa....quando foi essa apresentação? Gratidão
RIP Kris.9.28.24 .`.
I do believe this song is about me 😢
Me too brother

RIP 🙏🏼🕊️
Riposa in pace canzoniere con i controcazzi🧡😢

Love!
That sexy voice - swoon!
Happy trails
Highwayman
Always and forever
I use his klines most days at the bar. I get a smile.
Swan had a #1 song of his own.
Billy Swan
I can help
He's a walking contradiction
Partly true and partly fiction
Taking every wrong direction
On his lonely way back home.
❤😊🎉
A little Bobby McGee in this tune.
Good looking without beard xx
Who was the bass man, anybody know?
billy swan
@@hunkydory7684"I can help" Billy Swan?
Yup@@SlickArmor
Great voice. But what was he thinking to date Barbara Strisand
What year?
Wow! He just mentioned Hopper, Harry Dean etc. - he was one of the guys! Knew art, quality, true to himself, they don' t make them like this anymore. Now we have LGBTG / woke shite bla blabla blaaaaa effing weirdoes doting their crap. Btw I'm 69, and angry! What a crappy world we live in now...
