Chris Smither "Time Stood Still"

[@josephkenny77]

Fabulous player Hypnotic voice Transcendental lyricist Can't stop listening to him!

[@AXD81]

He's been this good for decades... just flew under most people's radar. And yes... he LOVES doing small, live venues. Go see him if you can. He'll make you laugh and cry.

[@Jimpeacfammusic]

people glorify past guitar greats while passing right in front of us is one who can stand toe to toe with any player /writer period!

[@patrickambrose5372]

You're so right!

[@Teddyb1939]

Lovely comment, Chris is such a beautiful player. no histrionic's just talent.

[@xXcakePOPcarleyXx]

Amen Bro!

[@stephenmcewan2460]

Just found this guy an hour ago and he's GREAT.

[@4EyedAnimation]

I know what ya mean...listen to him all the time since I discovered him.

[@RickHempy]

Bravo - Chris is fast becoming one of my favorite performers. Love his style.

[@gilray1977]

I have been a devoted fan of Smither for 50 years. His prose has seen me through Montana Blizzards while hitch hiking west and melodious moon lit summer eve's down east. His lyrics haver driven my down as a patron of my pity parties and made my heart sing at a full Sierra moon rise. I can't say enough about Chris' music to illuminate how much he has influenced my most melancholy and inspiring moments of my life over the past century ;)

[@ambyyy1]

He's a genius and he's got talent, talent, talent! He deserves all the support at the live gigs he so loves playing at. Thanks for the post, and I still buy his material though!!!

[@DOGGYDOGGYKRUGER]

Thank you so much for posting this. What a masterpiece lyrically, what an amazing performance by all the musicians.

[@timhockenberry]

A great drummer is always just a tiny bit better than no drummer at all! Chris Smither is mind-blowingly deep without any of the pretension! WOW

[@CasqueHead]

I kissed her twice at the speed of light, time stood still. Smart, lovely, brilliant...

[@patrickambrose5372]

I Move So Slow, My Shadow Often Kicks Me From Behind. What clever lyrics!

[@jasonamettis]

Thank You Jessie ! The Crew of Music Fog deserves a Grammy Award for the talented work all of you do. A world full of music has been brought into my home and I can't THANK YOU enough.

[@bobandrayfan1]

Nobody sings it like Smither.. amazing.

[@nissi.k]

So beautifully rendered and the poetic depth of lyric is exquisite and true! There are times for metaphors and cryptic phrases but not in serious intimacy for that requires an integrity that melts the shadows of uncertainty.

[@gatoryak7332]

I had to read your comment twice, but it was worth it! So I read it thrice.

[@neverbtr]

Achingly beautiful.

[@michaelferry2733]

Beautiful! Love you Chris! Peace

[@PegheadWizard]

Chris is super!

[@RandyStrubleBackingTracks]

Chris is the man!!!

[@georgeparkins777]

It makes me stew that I'm just missing him playing at the Chicky-wa-wah in New Orleans, in early July. Found a ticket place online while I was looking for tab for this. It's a crying shame.

[@Teddyb1939]

I just missed him at Walthamstow U/K recently, choked really, would loved to have seen Chris.

[@barbarabaldwin7120]

SAW HIM AT SEATTLE'S BUMBERSHOOT FESTIVAL IN THE '90'S..THERE WERE MANY ACOUSTIC ACTS. WE STOPPED IN THE THEN--"KEY ARENA," ARE OF SEATTLE CENTER SITE. STOPPED DEAD IN OUR TRACKS. SAT DOWN AND LISTENED. WOW! THREE YEARS LATER, HE WAS BACK, AND I BORROWED THE "NEXT UP," LAMINATED SMITHER ANNOUNCEMENT CARD! MEMORABILIA!!

[@boattalklive9111]

So good

[@johnkane1972]

Awesomeness.

[@jairoxaragon4163]

de casualidad encontre a este musico tremendo saludos de chile

[@CasqueHead]

I just heard him on West Coast Live. He played this by himself. I would love to see a video of that performance (or another of this song, by himself). I haven't been able to find one, though.

[@oldman103]

He does not do a song I don't like.It's impossible to pick a favorite.Just plain great.

[@bizquikboy]

Here is a golden God, and who knows that. You people, that's who. He's like The Replacements, one of those bands you selfishly keep to yourself, until you let someone in, because you need to find someone, not just anyone, someone who can see it, HEAR it. This guy. If you are one of those people who found this guy, and have been selfish, don't be. Find that person, and share it with (her, probably.)

[@krejdloc]

Dont get me wrong here, I really really enjoy ANYTHING that Chris Smither does.This song is GREAT. I just think the drummer and the second guitar need to go. The simple purity of Chris Smither is all thats required to say it all. realize hes gettin up there in years and could prolly use a little break now and then but no way his sound needs two guitars.

[@dreamwell2020]

krejdloc You might want to take a listen to "I Told You So" from this same set - you might change your mind about the auxiliary musicians.

[@krejdloc]

Dreamwell I just listened to that. I guess I just like old time solo singin and Travis Pickin. To borrow a phrase I heard somewhere " It flipped my switches but just didn't turn me on"

[@britpodnews]

krejdloc Chris played this yesterday solo and I must admit, it was far more captivating solo.. although this is a great rendition..

[@virgorising7388]

Yes. They add a little something, but it can be touched. Chris sounds great all by himself. As a testimony to Smither's greatness, the guitar play is mouthing the words, all the way through.

[@ambyyy1]

Ungrateful to say the least. I was just glad to savour this.

[@nubberstix279]

His studio albums don't hold a candle to his live shows.

[@ianburry5629]

I agree...that's because someone else ..I.e...the producer ..think they know how the song should sound when all along Chris had the answer
