Such talent for a tormented Soul. A likable sound on almost all of his songs, at least for me. A true storyteller. a brilliant writer & and a composer. Much Respect- RIP
17 November 2023. I seen your future JTE. No way to reach out and say Dude there is no reason for that kind of hurt and pain at your age. This song here man will hurt the best of hearts. One of the best I ever heard. RIP.
I’m sitting here crying wondering why I’d never heard JTE’s music until he passed. I have a feeling I’m about to go in a journey. So fucking sad. RIP, love to his family and friends.
@@xbrandi12345x There's so damn much good music rn, we can't catch it all. I was always interested in his stuff, more than his dad, but he was always so dark. But now I can't stop listening to him.
It's like if I listen to enough songs and watch all his interviews maybe it won't be true. That's how it feels sometimes. Just a thought. Just a feeling.
Like too many others it seems, I found this song and JTE's music the day after he tragically passed. That day I was struck by the fact that Justin was just six months older than I am. When I was in my early twenties, I lost a best friend to suicide, an on/off girlfriend to opioids before the epidemic, and in college working at a burger restaurant, I was the one that opened and found our maintenance man whom I deeply respected had slipped, hit his head, and passed away. After police & medics cleared the scene, I remember sobbing as I cleaned up, being the one, because then you never forget. It's 5am now and I can't sleep. Years pass and I flipped burgers through my 20s till I fought far enough, hard enough, to become an engineer. It's 5am, and I am sobbing in an empty room again. There's a pandemic that has had me WFH since March, keeping distance since my wife is a doctor working with COVID-19 patients if/when they need and I cant carry the idea I could get anyone else sick. For a week now, wildfires have left a smoke hazy over Seattle. And we're 50 days from an election that is so volatile that I disabled my Facebook over two months ago just to breath. It's 5am and I can't help thinking there was a tavern out there where Justin was playing. Probably somewhere in Ballard or Capital Hill. I'm on my second Mac & Jack, and he starts into this song. I think to myself, after the show I am buying this album, but I listen quietly with everyone else, tapping my foot to the sound. Listening to the lyrics, I note I am not frightened, but that he gets "it" even if I cannot articulate what "it" is. That moment that never happened, I can feel it's loss like so many other moments. That even though I have fought to make it from "there" to "here" that there's no way to stop a lifetime of losses along the way. It's 5am and this is not the first, nor the last, time I have woke for no reason, cried in an empty room alone, will go back to bed and push through another day. There is so much beauty in this world, and it hurts went it's lost. RIP, Justin, and thank you for offering something to the world that made it a bit better.
News of his death has brought me to this channel. 1st I've heard of his music. Sad how the best music is not on the radio. Sorry for your loss. RIP Justin.
Can't help thinkin' that this song ain't just about rain. There are all sorts of storms coming on many many fronts. I guess he knew that too. He was a such an amazing lyricist. His star burned out just as it was rising. Sadly missed.
I tried to see him every time he came to Austin, Justin was very special with incredible talent and stage presence. His creativity in song writing is far better than most well-known performers. I saw him open for the Pogues, and his performance was the highlight.
We love you, Justin. We play all your CDs all the time. This is one of my favorites. We haven't had rain here, Texas hill country, all summer but Storm Comin right now. I'll play this tune all night. We were blessed to meet Justin at The Mucky Duck Houston. Got to hear him perform there twice. What a gentle soul! RIP beautiful man full of soul.
[Verse 1] Silence broken Thunder roll Followed by the bright light From a lightning strike Wind is pickin' up To a low moan Feel the pressure drop Rain start and stop [Chorus] Storm coming No way it's gonna miss us now Storm coming Don't be frightened by the sound [Verse 2] Moment of silence Uneasy still Then come the steady rain Hard against the window pane But keep an eye on the river It's already up There's no need to worry yet Let us not forget That last time rain Come down like this So much was lost We'll never know the true cost Chorus] Storm's coming No way it's gonna miss us now Storm coming Don't be frightened by the sound [Bridge] There's so much at stake How far will it go? Only a fool would place such a bet On which way the winds will blow [Verse 3] There's no way of knowing What the damage will be We can't just live on hope We'll never get out alone [Chorus] Storm coming No way it's gonna miss us now Storm coming Don't be frightened by the sound of it Don't be frightened by the sound
@@margaretgraves5109 It's definitely an intense song for sure!! The Saint of Lost Causes song is good too (the whole album is amazing though). I didn't discover him until after he passed unfortunately.
Still hard to believe he's gonne. So much talent, so young...buit aint dead he who brave the storm and wrote songs to tell us and confort us about life.
Boy was he a great one. I'd heard the name for years, but not till tonight, December 18th, 2021, did I discover how much I love his music. How much more he could have given to this world.
For some reason this song just speaks to me. The PTSD of being in the army and a 1st responder for 21 years of my life. I know the storms coming but there's nothing I can do, just ride it out until the next storm.
Need to watch a bit of JTE before I set out to work. Before I set out the house I always listen to him commuting to work and his dad too, love their music so much x
RIP. Justin. You were and ALWAYS WILL BE a true talent in your own right. You were my Hank Williams. May the angels take you high. Bless your family for sharing you with us. You will always be.
Such an amazing singer/songwriter...he has packed alot of life into so few years. Perhaps the best wordsmith recording currently. Thank you JTE...you encourage us all.
I can't go to one song that is not so amazing and beautifully memorable of his. Justin you are so missed and loved! Glad I got to know you personally brother..
YOU WILL HEAL I PROMISE. I say this after my whole entire family is in the ground and been there for 15 plus years now. Time heals all wounds if you allow it to do so. I am very sorry for your great loss. Try not to drink at all, it just makes it worse in the end and creates resentment and bad feelings. I decided to drink myself close to the grave because I just didn't care anymore. Then something changed and I put down the bottle for good. #time
I had never heard of this wonderful dude. I live in Austin and have friends who played music with the great Townes Van Zandt and I feel a bit of him here. So sad to lose such great talent..RIP
Love this ...great voice...awesome and the music is fantastic ..he's one of a kind ...Steve's son..... alike.... yet so different and far apart ...gonna miss u 💞🙏💞
This is some damn great work right here ! This song is absolutely perfect and wonderful. On one hand its sad this doesn't have very much views, but on the other hand i'm very glad that Justin Townes Earle is a lesser known underground musician. We can have him all for us alone❤

I was lucky to see him in a small and fine concert in Berlin, Germany in 2017, just JTE and one accompanying musician. Discovered him by checking the program of the club. What a discovery. Loved this guy. He went way too soon.
Because it's not about love, love cannot help anyone who has a mental illness. Sadly most self medicate, whatever drug makes them feel warmth inside , maybe to stop body tremors, to forget each person is different. Living with a person whether it be your mother , your father, husband etc is so fucking hard, it don't matter what you say to them, you can't even say stop, because they either are unable or chose not to. The most weird thing is when you are younger you swear to yourself that you are not being to become like one of your parents for example. But you don't realise that the spouse you married, had the same addiction as your parent. You don't see it at first, as they hide it from you, but as the years go by the penny drops , you see that omg they have to have a beer in the morning, a spliff , to get the body to function. Outside your own 4 walls people think your man is great, they don't see them totally out of it, their mood swings, their paranoia, their sleep disturbed by flash backs, you see the horror caused by the hard drugs they took in their early teenage years The brain is a complex organ. Love does not cure but I wish to hell it was, then great men like JTE, Amy Winehouse, Prince, River Phoenix and many other great artists would still be alive today.
A lot of his songs remind me of bruce..'Roger's park' 'working for the MTA' and of course his cover of 'racing in the street' is fantastic..as JTE said himself 'bruce is always talking bout tryina get girls into cars I thought I'd try write on of those myself!'

@americafirst4181 that means you're feeling what the artist felt when they wrote the song.

Mama's Eyes, you will feel... especially knowing his dad and his history.@@kevinthomas2894
Imagine the masterpiece he would write if he could see the state of our world today. He is missed.
Rest in blissful peace, Justin - I am heartbroken - my deepest sympathy to your loved ones.
I heard this song at a very strange and chaotic stage of my life and I loved it for first note …I’ll miss you Justin , and the feeling you gave me
Gone but not forgotten. Thanks for being.
you are making me cry with your sweet words. loved JTE
I’m sitting here crying wondering why I’d never heard JTE’s music until he passed. I have a feeling I’m about to go in a journey. So fucking sad. RIP, love to his family and friends.
His music is amazing, how did we not hear of him before he passed?? This whole album is fire!! Hope you enjoy as much as me.
Good question. Those who struggle with drugs seems to get 'no-play'.......that is this so-called 'modern-world'...goodie 2 shoes world.
@@xbrandi12345x There's so damn much good music rn, we can't catch it all.
I was always interested in his stuff, more than his dad, but he was always so dark. But now I can't stop listening to him.
@@at_brunch3836I think there are more famous musicians who struggled with drugs than artist who have not.

It's 5am now and I can't sleep. Years pass and I flipped burgers through my 20s till I fought far enough, hard enough, to become an engineer. It's 5am, and I am sobbing in an empty room again.

Athen, I hope you're doing better now.
We'll never know the true cost...
I remember when there was so much smoke over Tacoma that I could look at the sun for like ten seconds. It looked like a shiny copper cent.

'The Saint Of Lost Causes' is a great album. Super strong songs with some of his best writing yet.
Agreed.
No doubt..
How has this song not gotten attention? It explains this whole year. Storm has come. RIP brother
RIP Justin, Your songwriting and music was amazing! and just like many others, you will be recognised as one the greatest I am sure of that.
[Verse 1]
Silence broken
Thunder roll
Followed by the bright light
From a lightning strike
Wind is pickin' up
To a low moan
Feel the pressure drop
Rain start and stop
[Chorus]
Storm coming
No way it's gonna miss us now
Storm coming
Don't be frightened by the sound
[Verse 2]
Moment of silence
Uneasy still
Then come the steady rain
Hard against the window pane
But keep an eye on the river
It's already up
There's no need to worry yet
Let us not forget
That last time rain
Come down like this
So much was lost
We'll never know the true cost
Chorus]
Storm's coming
No way it's gonna miss us now
Storm coming
Don't be frightened by the sound
[Bridge]
There's so much at stake
How far will it go?
Only a fool would place such a bet
On which way the winds will blow
[Verse 3]
There's no way of knowing
What the damage will be
We can't just live on hope
We'll never get out alone
[Chorus]
Storm coming
No way it's gonna miss us now
Storm coming
Don't be frightened by the sound of it
Don't be frightened by the sound
Goodbye, sweet soul...I hope you have found peace.❤️
A musical giant. Beautiful pathos and human frailty. This song is so heart wrenching.
I can't stop listening to this song!!!
good stuff.
Me too it's beautiful. I listen to him mostly on Spotify but still need to watch him on here . I just well up and then the tears come x
@@margaretgraves5109 It's definitely an intense song for sure!! The Saint of Lost Causes song is good too (the whole album is amazing though). I didn't discover him until after he passed unfortunately.
I didn’t discover him until after her passed away. I miss him and I didn’t even get to know who he was until this past week. Praying for his family.
We have lost another talented singer/songwriter! Your soul came out when you sang.
Love your music and will be thinking of you. Your in peace now
Still hard to believe he's gonne. So much talent, so young...buit aint dead he who brave the storm and wrote songs to tell us and confort us about life.
