LYRICS:
Loving You Is The Only Way To Fly
I should have moved on long ago
Why I still want you I don’t know
I miss your lips so tender your fingertips so slender
That moonlit midnight sparkle in the corner of your eye
Loving you is the only way
Can’t find the strength to stand alone
Can’t seem to find my way back home
I fell so far so deep can’t eat can't breathe can’t sleep
Which all comes down to one more round of me myself and I
Loving you is the only way to fly
Loving you is the only way to fly-somebody said
Some dreams come true some pass you by-that's what they said
Sometimes I pray you’ll come around
And we’ll find a place somewhere in town
I keep my hopes alive with one long free-fall dive
I drink and think and sink into the bottom of the lie
Loving you is the only way to fly
Loving you is the only way to fly-somebody said
Some dreams come true some pass you by-that's what they said
When you're a Rodney Crowell fan, you really feel sorry for those who have never discovered him and excited for those who have yet to find his songs.
I try and share his songs but nobody listens. It makes me feel bad they are missing out
How do you feel for those who've been introduced to him but, having listened to some of his songs, still don't see what the fuss is about? 😄
Exactly !

Maybe dig a little deeper?..
He's in the Nashville and Austin City Limits Halls of Fame.
He had five C&W number one hits on an album, in the mid-80's, which had never been done before, or since!.. Several Grammys, for what it's worth, lol...
"Ain't Livin' Long Like This"!

"...In 2003, he was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame; in 2006 he received the Lifetime Achievement Award in Songwriting from the Americana Music Association; in 2017, he was honored with ASCAP’s prestigious Founder’s Award; and in 2019, he was presented with the Academy of Country Music’s Poet’s Award. In addition to his prolific output as a singer, songwriter, and producer, Crowell also found time to become a celebrated author, too, publishing his memoir, Chinaberry Streets, and a lyrical retrospective, Word For Word, to widespread praise. Along the way, NPR declared him the “literarily inclined elder statesman of the Americana scene,” while Rolling Stone hailed him as a “country music trailblazer,” and the New York Times proclaimed that his songwriting “gets better and sharper with age..."
The Chicago Sessions - Rodney Crowell
www.rodneycrowell.com/the-chicago-sessions
I was a massage therapist in Austin, Texas for 35 years. One day I got a call for a massage. His name was Rodney Crowell. I wasn’t a fan of country western music at the time so I didn’t know who he was. He was staying at a local hotel and was going to be playing at a concert that evening. When I had finished he invited me to bring a friend and gave me 2 tickets to his concert. My boy friend and I went and I instantly became a fan. Also, after he finished one of his songs, he said “If the young lady who gave me a great massage this afternoon is in the audience, it really helped”. Wow, how great was that! This was in approximately the early 90’s. Been a huge fan ever since.
good story
Wow great story,thanks for sharing
Gorgeous song, and video! Brilliant harmonies too. Not sure why Audrey Spillman is not recognized in the credits, as she is a brilliant singer, and really adds to the song.
I thought the same. I don't know her and tried to figure it out so thank you.
@@brendahughes1963 My pleasure. It struck me as odd that she wasn’t recognized for her beautiful addition to the song. 🤷🏻♀️
@@LydiaManuel Puzzled me as well; what a shame. Thank you for putting her name in here #AudreySpillman @AudreySpillman
A beauty, and with nice voice!
Thank you, I love Audrey Spillman velvety voice, and this fabulous song, I have loved it since it was played on the Nashville tv show, 10 years ago.
I discovered RC when I bought "Diamonds and Dirt" when it was first released. Now, years later, it amazes me that, despite what he alludes to in his song "I Don't Care Anymore", forty odd years later all his best cards have NOT been played and his creations are anything but middle of the road. Mr Crowell's music keeps getting better and more heart-touching with every new creation. Rodney Crowell is to country music what Springsteen is to Rock and Roll; an icon.
Immediately strikes me as a Rodney Crowell master piece. Songs like these are badly needed at the moment. Many thanks!
Rodney is a national treasure. Somebody I'd love to see in concert.
I have seen him dozens of times and whether he is with a band or solo the music is always spectacular.
He is hands down the best live performer in the country.
And, along with Steve Earle, America's finest living sonwriter.@@richardsepulvado6918
This is just the sweetest, most melancholic song - I love the new Chicago Sessions. Rodney is truly the musical gift that just keeps on giving. Thank you Mr. Crowell!
8 out of 10 people in the music business today really don't belong there. Rodney isn't one of those 8. He's the genuine article, a real artist, and he always has been.
As a singer and song writer, he is right there with the late great Gordon Lightfoot. You are not going to find many people who are at this level because it takes a special person who see's things in different ways to put the words together to make these great songs. I have great respect for Rodney and his talent and I can honestly say, there is no end to his talent. God bless you Rodney.
We all need to feel Rodney's heart and soul.....in these dark days......he gives hope.....
Is anyone else concerned at how he looks? I dearly hope he’s making music for years to come.
Fortunate enough to see Rodney in the original Hot Band with Emmylou Harris, been a fan ever since
Just a musical genius. Long may he continue.
I’ve always been amazed how easy it is for him to sing. Soothing to the soul.
I’m a HUGE fan of Rodney Crowell. Great song writer and musician. I don’t think I’ve heard a song yet I haven’t liked.
I have been a fan since the early 80's and I still listen to all the CD's. Keep the great music coming!!
Rodney,you don't need any accolades from me, but here goes...you strike me as a man that is comfortable in his own skin and as such you have allowed the creativity and musical genius of your mind to produce these lovely masterpieces and I thank you!
As always, he brings a tear and a smile in the same song. I got the chance to thank him for helping me through some hard times at the Paramount Theater in Bristol Tennessee. Such a grounded, down to earth guy. Thanks again Mr. Crowell.
He always makes a song that gets to me in a way, I can’t explain.
I know exactly what you mean.
A CLASS ACT.....
@@johnpepe180
He has such a beautiful soul. ❤️
one of the most underrated singer songwriter
Beautiful song Rodney ,glad you decided to release it!🙏
This song has lyrics that really hit home in my now relationship. I 💘 it, but it also makes me very 😥 sad. He is a remarkable writer, songwriter.
Rodney is one of the rarer talents. The real deal!
I have been a fan since the 70s, you know its his vocals and writing style without seeing him. Great talent, absolutely love everything he has done and what he is still doing!
Wieder ein Song der einen den Alltag vergessen lässt und zum Träumen einlädt. Rodney seit über 30 Jahren Spitzen-Sänger
mit nie ausgehenden Musikideen!
It's terrifically reassuring to have RC continuing to put out excellence followed by excellence.I've been a fan since "Till I gain control again"-my first exposure some 30 35 or so years ago now. Rodney is touring this summer-I'll be seeing him at Gruene Hall in June. Fantastic cut-I await the next album due out in May
Just ordered his prerelease cd the Chicago sessions that includes this song, I know people don’t buy many cd’s anymore but when you hear music played on a kickass sound system via cd it’s a whole new out of this world experience, I’m looking forward to receiving it!
Rodney never disappoints!
You just brought me back with my wife and I 30 years ago Rodney! Listening to you cruising the back roads in my old pickup. Loving her then. Loving her more now! Keep on Rodney!!!!
Man o man, of all your music since the 80s , this is the prettiest, most real of all. I fell in love with "Ashes By now", all the way to "I don't Care Anymore" and now this one... It is EXACTLY how I have felt each time they were first released. Almost like we're in sync. Thank you for your efforts, work and dedication to giving us your love and heart. It's not easy to be us, but who else would be able to? I'm right with you, wonder where we'll be next time...
Well said.....
Wow first time heating him they great love this 💓😍
Just discovered this song. Shamed to say I've not heard of him before. This is a beautiful song, simple but profound.
I will investigate more.
Truly lovely song, beautifully emoted by both singers. RC still has it, and I hope he keeps on sharing it with us. Have been a fan a long time. 💕
Love to Rodney and family and band❤❤❤BEAUTIFUL SONG🎉
I am obsessed with this song!! Saw Rodney in concert less than a week ago. When I saw this song on his new Chicago Sessions album & on the set list for second half of show, I was so excited , I have this song and several others from CS album, covered by different artists on my iPod. Have been playing this song and new CD in my car daily❤❤❤❤❤❤
I saw him on Mountain Stage and will never forget the experience.
Great song, great vocals. Love this man’s music.
Another classic....Damn Rodney....Your songs just evoke so many things that I can't even put into words, yet I thank God for the two ears I have to hear them! Dig, DmGrk
Love you 🙏😇💛💋✌
We have been fans since the 80`s.Just a brilliant song writer and performer.

Fantastic song!💕
Bravo, Mr. Crowell!
Sweet, gentle, wonderful. Audrey Spillman enhances it beautifully - she should get at least some kinda billing for this!
Beautiful Rodney! ❤
Tough seeing our favourite singers from the past getting older…but he still sounds great
And still one of the absolute best songwriters of all time.
I continually am impressed with Rodney. What a song.

Okay I just stumbled on this looking for some other music and I have to say I'm 55 to hear someone from back from my genre, especially Rodney crowell after all this time, yeah it's nice to see you're still putting out music Rodney I love it thank you.
On a side note it's got a little Tom Petty feel to it
Great Great song!

Very impressed by Audrey Spillman.
Hope she comes to Austin soon.

Really good hope to hear more
A lovely song and a lovely video. Thank You!
This is good!
I have heard these 2 songs and once again freddo is hooked
talented guy
This song was an advert on here with no name of the artist. I then found out how to get the name. Absolutely gorgeous song. Such beautiful vocals. Such simple and classy music. It gave me the strong urge to pick up my guitar and play along to it. Only truly great songs do that to me. I must hear more songs by this man.
Yessss!! I love this!! ❤
So well done…❤️
Magistral
Very cool video...beautiful song 🤟
I love the adorable figurines in the video ! Wonder who makes them?
Just give me a moonpie and some 'RC' and I'll be content...Great vocal by Audrey
Whose with me now MAY 4 2023 proud 80’s here
A nice complement to Still Learning How To Fly
Stunning
I feel this song..
❤❤❤
Hi Rodney 💜❤️💚💙🇧🇷🤠
