Austin City Limits Hall of Fame -Lyle Lovett "Step Inside This House"

[@djnoble1]

I don't have enough thumbs to give to this song and Lyle's version of it.

[@michaeldoucette943]

How can anyone not ❤Love Lyle's rendition of this lyrical Poem❤❤

[@darrelljourdan3687]

So humble is Lyle... he constantly gives credit and praise to those that deserve it.

[@hardtaill70]

You obviously don't know who Guy Clark is. Guy was FAR from two dimensional.

[@darrelljourdan3687]

@@hardtaill70 Yikes... you are correct... did not intend that to slight Guy, but only meant to compliment Lyle. Editing now.

[@raypresnell3127]

Lyle Lovett is one of most underrated performers or all time. If this song doesn't touch you...... nothing will.

[@lewisc215]

If I don't like him, you'll punch me?

[@jessharris2708]

[@emchicken7285]

Lyle covering Guy Clark is a thing of beauty.

[@mynamedoesntmatter8652]

How exactly is Lyle Lovett ‘underrated?’

[@t-man5196]

@@mynamedoesntmatter8652 Because he's not very well known for a celebrity despite being a lot more talented than the overwhelming majority of contemporary famous musicians.

[@brianserrano9737]

One of the best songs ever written

[@Mangoplak]

Oh man, it's always the simple songs that speak to the heart. And Mr. Lovett really brings this one home. Ahh, snivel

[@sallyeathorne3488]

Ahhh, this is just perfect. A beautiful song, sung by a beautiful man with one of loveliest voices I've heard. x

[@TouchDirt]

Just surprised my old mans to see Lyle on tour in February. He's been a fan for decades and I have so many memories of being on a hot leather car seat listening to Lyle and others as a kid. Gonna be some serious tears that night.

[@bruinruin591]

I hope you had a great time with your ol' man. Quite the gift you gave him.

[@quinbagwell7515]

An example of Lovett taking an unrecorded song that the writer, Guy Clark was critical of, and making it an extraordinary work of art.

[@jamesconroy6078]

Lyle’s voice, hits you right in the heart. I think he’s a great actor too, the bridge was just right.

[@paulalindstrom9264]

This song reminds me of my granddad. He lived in an old school in Orange, TX. I love him and miss him so much. Lyle does this song justice!

[@rocroc]

I come here now and then because...this song reminds me of a print I once owned. More than that, the gentle nature of the delivery and the kindness of Lyle Lovett, you just can't hide the nature of the man. The picture, a copy of an early Picasso print lost in a fire. Made when Picasso was more realistic in his work. We had it in a "cubby" hole on the way into our garage. It was in a special frame used to protect it. It was put there because there was something special about it. Every now and then you could stop to take a look and wonder about it. Convenience I guess. The fire was caused by a recalled car. That section of the house burned up and smoke got into the frame. Lost. Art and music. They go hand in hand.

[@jerrysloan5225]

Mr. Lovett is one of the VERY BEST.

[@Jaydit7]

It's been a year, this week, that Guy left this world....RIP, sir

Right!? I've always appreciated that about ACL, also Old Grey Whistle Test always did a great job.

Saw Lyle last night in VA Beach VA. It was so good that people were levitating lol. Seriously, catch this tour. Probably the best concert I've ever seen. This guy can sing.

[@ronnyparker]

Saw him in Saratoga winery cali few months ago, he is like no other.

Lylelovett hurtfully sings and writes what most dont understand but what is far deep in our thoughts and soul

[@marcymoran6481]

I met a stranger at the grocery store and he wound up seeing me right after at the gas station next to the store. He gave me a CD that he had made with this song on it. He told me to listen to it, I did & fell in love with this song. So very beautiful & the lyrics are so humbling.

[@quinbagwell7515]

I have to ask......if you ever again saw the stranger? There's a song in your story , wanting to be written.

[@marcymoran6481]

@@quinbagwell7515 -actually I did bump into him at the same grocery store twice, but he always thought I was someone else that I resembled. I never saw him again. Just knew his name was Thomas.

[@mistascott007]

Beautiful poetry that Lyle brings to life. I wish Guy thought it was worth recording because it is one of the best retrospective songs I have ever heard.

[@l.stevenleming5018]

I hear ya Scotto Del Dato.. (from Stevo)

[@1coopjsn]

I could not agree more - I don’t know why he was so vexed that Lyle and the world loved this song so much. This is simply beautiful rendition.

[@dj8]

sounds like another song Debby!!

[@nomadjeff1922]

I always try to see Lyle at least every couple of years. I've seen him 6 times now. The last show at the "Wolf Trap" in Virginia this year was special because Mavis Staples opened for him and he had the "Large Band". He's always great. I've seen him with John Hiatt 3 times and they are fabulous in a small venue. Great stories are always told between songs. And Lyle is a true gentleman to everyone.

[@hectorsmommy1717]

I have only seen him once. 1992 in Milwaukee on a double bill with Bonnie Raitt. It was a great concert and the two meshed so well in the last part when they performed together. His Large Band was on stage the entire night playing with both.

[@timnokken4284]

Had the great fortune to hear him play this during his visit to Texas Tech as part of the presidential lecture series. Truly moving to hear this song played live in an intimate venue. FWIW, Steve Earle claims this is Guy's 2nd song, because Guy had a bad memory! :)

[@thomasbernecky2078]

And that's why I do love to hear Lyle Lovett.

[@emilyellisiaconis6187]

Thank you Lyle. I gain something so special every time I hear you perform this song..

How lucky is Lyle? He is given this song to sing and was married to Julia Roberts- wow what a life!

[@thaddeusk4230]

Really? I'll give you the first one. A beautiful song. On the latter, that sort of thing matters to you Tommy? I'm sure if you asked Lyle, he'd tell you differently. The trip, the journey is short. He cares not for that part of his life. I'd like to think that his life is filled with gratitude and joy, for what he has, where he's at right this moment.

[@philipearlmcg3964]

Guy said he never liked this song. I think it’s one of his best. The lyric about the piece of glass that became a beautiful prism with a tiny rainbow when it broke touches my heart. True of people sometimes. Some who shine beautiful light are broken in some fashion but if you look close you might see a rainbow.
