I've wondered if she's watched them. I felt/feel a little guilty posting these because of the feeling in the room that night. But, I was compelled. It was as if he finally got to defend himself. They can never be replaced.
I can’t believe I’m just now seeing this! Ty for posting. Seeing him live really is an incredible experience. Looking forward to seeing him for the 4th time when this stupid pandemic is over.
+Cheryl Tarrant I can't quiet hear the lyrics but I can't stop listening! In the Chorus Is the lyric 'It's all a silly rumour' or 'It's all a Civil rumour' or something else?
+Peter Waterman, I worked the chords and lyrics out a couple weeks ago for a vocal lesson. See what you think, D - Gmaj7 - A - D D See if I care Gmaj7 G6 see if I give a damn A what kind of man D A/C# you really think I am Bm one of those guys Em7 Em who'd look for you everywhere A don't kid yourself D see if I care G You can look into my eyes G and try to find a trace D of that ghost they says haunts me D the one that has your face G well it's all a silly rumor G/B one I can prove ain't true Em D/F# but then you'd have to be here G wouldn't you All of your things are right where you left them they weren't in the way so that's where I kept them they don't mean a thing I hardly know they're there haul them away see if I care You can look into me eyes and try to find a spark of that flame they say I've carried too deep in the dark well its all a silly rumor one I can prove ain't true but then you'd have to be here wouldn't you? See if I care see if it moves me you're in my door wanting to hold me I've moved on and you are not really there so just come on in and see if I care come on in see if I care

Thank you so much +cheryltarrent His voice. His soul. So beautiful. He was always my favorite thing about TCW. I love Joy and I enjoyed her new music. But she doesn't get me in my emotions the way JPW does. I'm seeing him in Louisville and when I discovered he was coming here (incidentally the same day I discovered this playlist) I cried the happiest tears I've cried in a long time. His music makes me so sad but in such a beautiful and GOOD way. If you know what I mean. Thank you for giving me a preview. Hugs! ❤
See if I care See if I give a damn What kind of man You really think I am One of those guys Who'd look for you everywhere Don't kid yourself See if I care You can look into my eyes And try to find a trace Of that ghost they say haunts me, The one that has your face Well it's all a silly rumor One I can prove ain't true But then you'd have to be here, wouldn't you? All of your things They're right where you left them They weren't in the way So that's where I kept them They don't mean a thing I hardly know they're there Haul them away. See if I care You can look into my eyes Try to find a spark of that flame They say I've kept Too deep in the dark Well it's all a silly rumor One I can prove ain't true, but then you'd have to be here, wouldn't you?, wouldn't you See if I care, see if it moves me You at my door wanting to hold me I've moved on and you are not really there So just come on in, see if I care You'll come on in and see if I care
Just beautiful! Thank you for posting! I think this song is to his wife.... who may have been deeply effected by the "rumors" of Joy. He has walked many miles to repair his home life. I respect him for that. Thanks again for posting. So touching! So deep!
+Cheryl Tarrant thanks anyway! Love his songs. The way he puts his heart and soul into his music is touching and heartbreaking... hope these come out soon...

I would feel really bad to be the one that song was written for... :( I also just heard "simple song".. This stuff is coming from a man's heart that was wanting so much to be seen and heard. Good stuff JPW. and thank you Cheryl.
Some where joy Williams is crying watching these songs. Long live The Civil Wars
I've wondered if she's watched them. I felt/feel a little guilty posting these because of the feeling in the room that night. But, I was compelled. It was as if he finally got to defend himself. They can never be replaced.
She doesn't care, she left because of her husband, being JEALOUS
waa the sigh before start singing and the lyrics, everything... JP still breaking my heart as years go by🥺
I can’t believe I’m just now seeing this! Ty for posting. Seeing him live really is an incredible experience. Looking forward to seeing him for the 4th time when this stupid pandemic is over.
Incredible artist! Incredible song!
This takes my breathe away ,,literally,,my all time favorite song ever
love that little sigh you had at the end hahaha but honestly this made me want to cry
I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for posting this video. And thank you JPW for coming back out and sharing your music
Too bad this wasn't included on the album. Thank you so much for sharing!
He's probably the greatest lyricist out there. It must have been amazing to be there. Thanks for filming.
I agree. And it was indeed a memorable night.

+Justin Black Any idea what the chords are for the instrumental after the second chorus?
Thank you so much +cheryltarrent

I just saw JPW in Ann Arbor last night. Spoke after show and mentioned See If I Care was a favorite. He said it will be released in future!
😭 this man is amazing. I love them apart but together........ 💔
Thank you for posting! I had tickets to the B'ham show.....missed it.

These lyrics are heartbreaking
Life is full of sadness, everywhere!
Who wrote this?
That little "phew" at the end... I felt that
Wow. Intense.
the words are art - the voice is magic -
John Paul told me he's planning to put it on the second album.
Why did they split?
Just beautiful! Thank you for posting! I think this song is to his wife.... who may have been deeply effected by the "rumors" of Joy. He has walked many miles to repair his home life. I respect him for that. Thanks again for posting. So touching! So deep!
I can't thank you enough for posting this - even though I'm just now seeing it. I'd like to chat with you sometime about the band, if you're willing.
This is so heartbreaking
But whose ot about?
Great Song:)
absolutely beautiful. .does anyone know if these songs are on his new album? .
Wow ... (it seems like he does care, though)
From what I found out ,he didn't write this song! But I don't know
lyrics please? I don't understand all the words he says... :/
+Cristian Alexander Pereverzieff Sorry I don't have the lyrics. Lets hope he comes out with them! :)
+Cheryl Tarrant thanks anyway! Love his songs. The way he puts his heart and soul into his music is touching and heartbreaking... hope these come out soon...

+kajomelimaelvitrev I agree with all you wrote. From his heart for sure, you could feel it that night.
