When I met my beautiful wife 40 years ago she said( let’s make a home, teach our children, pick peaches, let them find Jesus on their own....she loved John and she turned me on to his music, I love all of it....she passed away a few years ago, I pray that God gives her a ringside seat to hear John play there in heaven...
I’m a punk rocker but when my mom put this song on in the car when I was a teenager, it was my first time listening to it and I couldn’t resist the tears. This song is relevant no matter if it’s about war or discrimination or just people of power ignoring others for their own political gain.
When I was 3-7 years old my dad and I would listen to john Prime all the time. I'm now 16 and haven't listened to him in years and at 11:30 pm was listening to colter walls version of the speed of the sound if loneliness and decided to listen to some john Prime and I'm glad to say it makes me just as happy as he did over 10 years ago
I wish for more people like you, John. Your values, perspectives and acceptance have the power to move people to a different space without using hate. Hope... Evolution...Love...thank you.
I love the utter honesty and integrity that bleed through every line, whether he's singing a love song, articulating the problems of evil, or just making a musical witticism.
My friend gave me this album about two months after a bad break up. I was on my way to Mississippi to help with the aftermath of Katrina. He said it's good traveling music. Oh boy did he say a mouthful there. This is (in my opinion) one of the best albums ever made. Buy any artist. I was given more than just an album. I was given a lifelong hero.
Boy was his mouthful such a mysteriously sent blessing !!! My mom forced us to sing his songs on long car rides(no music-just us) and now I wouldn’t trade it for the world!
@@tymewaisanen Your mom is top notch!! I can sing em with ya now. Word for word. In Spite of Ourselves. Is my all time favorite. Well that and the WHOLE Fair and Square album. GONNA BE A LONG MONDAY.
I learned about John from my brother in 1978. Him and Bonnie were touring the country all the time then playing smaller venues. Met them both at the hotel in KC. Bonnie before the show; John after the show. Got their autographs on a couple of albums. John let us buy him a beer. Most down- to- earth dude ever!!
i would like persons with power in this wold to learn from John Prine, (and let us all learn from him as well, )but unfotunately not many enough do so. We`ve had war and have wars and destructions in our time. As the composer and songwriter Evert Taube (swedish) said and wrote in a song : " It is war and politics which is destroying our world,"
@julieolen - "not45" as was. [i'll never forgive (now)treason-slug for murdering John Prine bc he faithfully nursed his wife, as a man does. Never, if it costs me Heaven.
On the Tree of Forgiveness John writes about God's boundless love. As we all try to make sense of John's death, I hope he knows that we all have boundless love for him and his music.
Yes but the American dream has changed it used to be to have a good job and a nice home and a nice car and to be happy and healthy but now the American dream is just to be RICH
@@tomthorpe5393 Now don't put everyone in the same catagory .. don't generalize. John Prine worked as a Maywood mailman where he'd spill ketchup in his mail truck on the Time magazines he wasn't supposed to be reading - at lunchtime. I used to work in the next town over (just about), La Grange. John only left the post office because he heard another calling and more money, in singing. Doesn't make him bad. Just smart, and he began doing some he loved. Although he said he would've stayed at the post office. he liked that too.
I read online just today about John Prine, in stable condition from this horrible Covid19 virus. I came to UA-cam to hear his music. Wow!!! With happy tears and sad tears falling down my cheeks, I listened, in awe of his music. His voice, lyrics and deep soulfulness blows me away. Praying for you Mr. Prine. You touched so many hearts, and today, I'm thankful that you touched mine. 💖 Peace and Love.
“Have you ever noticed when you’re feeling really good, there’s always a pigeon that’ll come shit on your hood.” Sounds like the last four years…the same pigeon, over and over.
My now husband introduced me to John Prines music when we were dating 14 years ago. I loved his music immediately. His music tells a story that I think most of us have either been through,thought about or know someone who has. I just love John Prine.
RIP John. Thanks for providing part of the soundtrack of my childhood, and for being the kind of guy who spoke truth to power. An irreplaceable talent, a survivor, and a genius.
I'm so glad I found your Music on UA-cam Last week, but at the same time ,I'm so sad it took this long ,I'm 58 years old and love all kind's of music ,but your Music is simply Beautiful ,it's never to late to fall in love with music again ,thank you .hope your feeling better God Bless MR Prine .
Can I recommend "John Prine; House of Strombo" to you? It was a house concert at the home of Canadian TV personality George S. ( it's about 15 letters long ) . It's a wonderful, intimate show from Christmas, 2018 ( I think ), before an audience that includes some musicians Canadians would recognize, but also includes Canada's greatest singer songwriter ( with apologies to Neil Young and Leonard Cohen ) Gordon Lightfoot.
Met john in the airport on the way to Nashville in 2007. Just a capital guy, small talk and respected his space, it was a honor and treat, been a fan from the early 80's . A true legend and classy guy. I will treasure our short vist , RIP little buddy, I will continue to pass on your music, the best of all time.😟
Master John Prine, You're so much more than great for so very many of us. Thank you for sharing your music. It reminds us that were human. Godspeed John Prine until we hear you again. Peace and Peaches, Love and Respect! ~LancesBrenda
John puts words to the most toxic thoughts and somehow makes us calm down and deal with it, or laugh at it or be ok to go on. He was a gift from above.
Hey Ty, he sang this song for all of these poor people with no heart,some of them gave a thumbs down. Mr Prine will be in our hearts forever. I hope you make it out of this buddy.
John, I miss knowing you are here on earth. I get your music and understand what you wanted to convey to us. I was looking forward to seeing you at Wolf Trap this summer. Instead, I will sit here and play your music with my heart open. Teach the angels some of your pure chords.
A sad day yesterday the 7th of April 2020, John Prine passed away! R.I.P. John, you might have left us, but you didn't leave, your music will carry us on forever!
RIP my Best New friend, just because you're gone does not mean your not in my life still, every morning I wake up I put your music on and my life is wonderful again, Thank you for that John, with all my love Kenny
Played this song over and over when working under a horrible human being. Gleaned comfort and strength. The year was 2009, lots of layoffs and I couldn't just leave. Asked why I love sad songs, this comes to mind. Love you John!!! Don't leave us too soon.
I was 19, in 1972, living in a small town in the mountains of BC and the song Donald and Lydia came onto CBC radio and I was blown away by the lyrics and his ability to narrate beauty into words.
(Rob Tannenbaum, NY Times): At seven minutes and three seconds, this track from “Fair and Square” is the longest song on any of his studio albums. A cloud of slide guitar keeps this soft waltz afloat and allows Prine to express his disapproval of, if not contempt for, so-called humans who lack empathy for others. There’s a couplet that is clearly about George W. Bush, and Prine noticed that some audience members were surprised by it. “I never tried to rub it in anybody’s face, but I thought it was pretty clear that I wasn’t a closet Republican,” he told the Houston Press.
I only just recently discovered John Prine's music and love it. I like listening to his music while painting in my studio. I just heard this song for the first time today, discovering more treasures as I browse youtube. Before corvid 19 came, I noticed he was planning a concert in Vancouver on June 6th, which is my wedding anniversary. I was thinking about how I would like to get tickets for the show. Sadly, covid 19 changed all our lives, all of our plans. The world has been shattered by coronavirus, so many have passed, and many more will yet. My heart goes out to all who have lost loved ones or whose loved ones are fighting for their lives, some sadly losing the battle. John Prine you are a beautiful soul, who wrote of things we can all relate to so well. Thank you for the music. My heart is with your family and friends in their devastating and tragic loss.
I love you John Prine, more than words! Enchilada whole or otherwise you my friend have been a major highlight of my life, like swimming with dolphins in SanDiego, watching humpback whales in Hawaii& saving a lil bird that got stuck in traffic. You are the bees knees!
To the 159 who gave this a thumbs down , you ain't human.
They matter less than a fly on the wall. Be a force for good, best as we can.❤
How is it possible not to like this brilliant song?

Too bad they took away the thumbs down button to save some hurt feelings
He got hate mail for this song. must have touched a lot of nerves. but thenpeople aint kind
When I met my beautiful wife 40 years ago she said( let’s make a home, teach our children, pick peaches, let them find Jesus on their own....she loved John and she turned me on to his music, I love all of it....she passed away a few years ago, I pray that God gives her a ringside seat to hear John play there in heaven...
I hope that for her too. She sounds so lovely.
Nancy Hooper thank you so much.
May God Bless you and your family
By now, he's probably gotten a trio together; Prine, Steve Goodman, and Hank Williams.
I have no doubt. Bless you.
I’m a punk rocker but when my mom put this song on in the car when I was a teenager, it was my first time listening to it and I couldn’t resist the tears. This song is relevant no matter if it’s about war or discrimination or just people of power ignoring others for their own political gain.
My man
Feeding my Alzheimer's babe watermelon..
This song has more relevance now, and for the past 10 years than anytime since WWII.
There is hardly a single politician in the west that's Human.

Keep listening kid. It will make you feel good and be a better person. 👍 I am nearly 80, still listening, and still trying to be a better person.
Oh, my, this is sounding truer than ever at the moment.
RIP John Prine. E .. John was the most human human .
Use this a beautiful man with a great soul Gold Rush set of better place excuse my grammar it's God Rest he's in a better place
Ironic with my words thank you for pay attention but he was much worth more than anything that I am recipes for leave my man
Don't ever do voice text I apologize he's my man I'll leave it at that
I wish for more people like you, John. Your values, perspectives and acceptance have the power to move people to a different space without using hate. Hope... Evolution...Love...thank you.
Ain't that the truth!
I love the utter honesty and integrity that bleed through every line, whether he's singing a love song, articulating the problems of evil, or just making a musical witticism.
Life won't be the same without John P. What an amazing man.
His music will live

From Murphy NC. , they're up to 7 now. All these downvoters can suck John Prine's d**k, all at one time!
I agree, "As blank as a clowns eye "
There’s no cure for stupidity,you gotta be a special kind of brain dead to give this or any of John Prines poetry a thumbs down
@@Paul-repofirland No just lost.
@@markmauldin good one
What a beautiful spirit John was and is. He was certainly a wonderful human. I wish there were more like him. This old world could surely use them. 🕊
He aint dead cause I still hear him inside my head !
AMEN TO THAT BROTHER KEITH !!!!
Keith, I have an almost non stop John Prine worm in my head, which is fine by me!

Right on. 👍🏼

Sad to hear of his passing today. This song is more valid today then ever.

yup
Absolutely! In this day and age people have to come together! Unfortunately it probably won’t happen 😢
I walk that road with him anytime ... the world is a mess .. thank you Mr John Prine for being a good human ..
I wonder how far into that 9 Mile long cigarette he is? RIP John!!!
he just blew out the match....
the rate he smoked them ...he's on his 5th one already ...bless him.
Hell Johns probably on his 4th or 5th one, by now. in between his illegal smile, whistle and fishin'. and dancing with his family!! god I miss him.
That all depends on how many cocktails came first
Of course all smiles are legal now!
ein ganz toller Song

Terrible thing, he died from it today. RIP.
If you haven't already, check out "Summer's End". I'm one of the toughest SOB's on the planet and it brought tears to my eyes.
You will walk with us…always!
I have been listening to John Prine for 45 yrs. what a treasure, and what a loss.
Safe journey John .. keep writing and singing wherever you've moved on to..RIP
My Dad turned me on to John Prine when I was 8 or so. Awesome songs. R.I.P. to John and my father.
“Have you ever noticed
when you’re feeling really good,
there’s always a pigeon

Sounds like the last four years…the same pigeon, over and over.
Gone today, one of the very best Humans of all times RIP John Prine
RIP John. The world just lost a wonderful and compassionate soul.

Saw John at the Mother Church a few years ago. The crowd started clamouring "Prine for President". He says no, I'm not the one. Then He played this.
Dear JP...please help us through this difficult time, with all your angel friends in heaven....miss you so much !
Gone way to soon, it’s so wrong that John would be taken. The world has lost a treasure.
Trumps covid :(
R.I.P. John, you will be missed.
John was a very smart man and brilliant storyteller, the title of this song Some Humans Ain't Human and the truest words ever written down on paper.
get well john the world still needs you
I love and miss John Prime, he was the goat of all times 😭♥️😭♥️😭
Played this song over and over when working under a horrible human being. Gleaned comfort and strength. The year was 2009, lots of layoffs and I couldn't just leave. Asked why I love sad songs, this comes to mind. Love you John!!! Don't leave us too soon.
damn straight John some humans definitely ain't human
Especially during the current times, there seems to be a lot of people today that are no longer human. I say they are born without a soul.
I was 19, in 1972, living in a small town in the mountains of BC and the song Donald and Lydia came onto CBC radio and I was blown away by the lyrics and his ability to narrate beauty into words.
John had a special way of viewing the world , you may not like what he said, but it is true. and with the music it is ok anyway. God Bless John
My favorite song of his , so true ...
Everytime I think I have decided on my top 10 favorite John Prine songs 10 more come to mind.
Miss You John
(Rob Tannenbaum, NY Times): At seven minutes and three seconds, this track from “Fair and Square” is the longest song on any of his studio albums. A cloud of slide guitar keeps this soft waltz afloat and allows Prine to express his disapproval of, if not contempt for, so-called humans who lack empathy for others. There’s a couplet that is clearly about George W. Bush, and Prine noticed that some audience members were surprised by it. “I never tried to rub it in anybody’s face, but I thought it was pretty clear that I wasn’t a closet Republican,” he told the Houston Press.
I wish he was still around but I sure enjoy listening to his music. I can listen to them over and over. God Bless you.
Rest Easy sir, we're really gonna miss you so much.

Good bye old friend. Your stories filled my life.
Best wishes to John and his family. Through out my life you and your music have been there to pick me up. Thanks much
Rest in peace John, your memory will always be a blessing
RIP, John. And thanks for the music.
Wonderfully put as always a great message! They try to screw you blind or push thumbs down button on talented artist like you. Love your work.
