FIRST TIME HEARING! Kris Kristofferson - Loving Her Was Easier | REACTION

[@lalani888ARTblue]

Kris Kristofferson...is one of the most beautiful soul's to ever touch down here... God Bless Him 🙏💚💌

[@hbodenheimer4921]

Kris Kristofferson was a poet and lyrical genius.

[@vickiroman189]

Chris wrote some of the most beautiful lyrics we have. He never claimed to be a singer, but I love his voice.

[@BOOMNERD51]

Me too!

[@jealousjelly]

Kris once told the big man at Monument Records that he didn't want to cut an album for Monument because "I sound like a frog." The producer replied "Yeah, but you're a frog who COMMUNICATES." Always loved that story.

[@BOOMNERD51]

@@jealousjelly I can't believe I forget this great quote, but I mostly live his voice. "For the Good Times" Communication loud and clear. The sadness, phrasing Kris' recording in my mind said "Do not try to change this song."

[@hollypinkley]

YEAH!!!! YES!!!!!! My MAIN MAN since '72 - He is considered one ofthe greatest songwriters ever!!! He turned down an appointment at West Point Military Academy to teach literature when he stopped to see a friend in Nashville - he stayed & country music was never the same!!!!

[@MamawT65]

He was an amazing songwriter! RIP

[@patpaiz5693]

Kris Kristofferson is one of my favorite song writers and this is my farvorite song. I am an old woman now, but when I was a young woman, senior year of high school, I knew that I hoped someday someone would feel for me the way he sounded like he felt for someone. Kris happened to have brough sex and lust into country western music and back in the late 6o's and into the 70's some country/western radio stations and lots of the tradition country fans considered his music almost pornography because of lines like "waking in the morning, to the feeling of her fingers on my skin>. And he really never much went to a lot of bother to mention things like wife, marriage, monogamy, or lifetime commitment. He wrote "For the Good Times" which was basically a song about 2 people hitting the sheets one last time, for old time's sake before parting ways, and "Help me Make it Through the Night" about being lonely, not wanting to spend the night alone and not really caring about the consequences. He has a wonderful way with words.

[@jealousjelly]

I truly believe that is the most intelligent, insightful, poetic love song ever written.

[@dagmar.6954]

[@aletmartins6940]

His “Why me Lord” is amazing.

[@paulalim1476]

He’s 88 yrs old now. Such a genius, such a poet, such a gentle soul……

[@heather6668]

Have loved his voice and his music since 1972 also. One of the times I saw him live, the first half of the show was just him and his guitar. He was so damn good. LOL one time I bought tickets for his show that was on my mum's birthday and sent her out to get a new dress and her hair done. Took her for dinner and then walked to the theatre - he may have been ill but he hadn't shown up - it is also his birthday that day. He's 5 years younger than her. Eventually got to see him with the Highwaymen - amazing show. Then saw him 4 times solo. Audience is from pre-teen to older than my mum - such a wide appeal.

[@stevefoulston]

[@andrewmacleod3308]

Forgot in my small opinion his greatest role..the one and only Rubber Duck!! I'm a uk truck driver so I'm biased 😂

[@stevefoulston]

@@andrewmacleod3308 My son and 3 son-in-laws all truck driver's we have a Convoy. Peace out.

[@jamiemitchell8281]

He did sing with the Highway Men. Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash and Waylon Jennings - country Music Super Group. They all had their solo careers too. Kris is an amazing actor as well. He has so many hits and that great sort of sleepy voice. Hope to see more of him. Watched it all Adogg, thanks.

[@jolenewitzel7919]

Kris has soooo many great songs. Please do more. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@BOOMNERD51]

My songwriter hero when I was in college, 1972 I was 21 and hell bent to write songs like his,❤Thanks for the great reaction!

[@drewheyman7173]

I grew up with this man’s music. Shared a doob with him one night in 1973

[@heather6668]

I love that you want to learn about the artist. He is an amazing songwriter and has had quite the life. I've seen him live 4 times solo and once with the Highwaymen - awesome. Have always loved this song.

[@robinmcpherson7981]

He is the greatest songwriter of all time. Pure genius.

[@BOOMNERD51]

I love this video as I was 22 in 1973, and it's the same band members and the harmonies I heard at many of their concerts. I'll be 72 in a few weeks but this takes me back to desperately trying to write songs myself, big hero worship that expanded into more and more artists as he championed talented newcomers.

[@helenheeney2284]

Kriss Kristofferson outstanding genius

[@Allagi22]

This is my favorite song of all time. It's criminally underrated. I challenge anyone to find better lyrics than this: Waking in the morning to the feeling of her fingers on my skin Wiping out the traces of the people and the places that I've been Teaching me that yesterday was something that I never thought of trying Talking of tomorrow and the money, love, and time we had to spend Loving her was easier than anything I'll ever do again Coming close together with a feeling that I've never known before in my time She ain't ashamed to be a woman nor afraid to be a friend I don't know the answer to the easy way she opened every door in my mind But dreaming was as easy as believing it was never gonna end And loving her was easier than anything I'll ever do again

[@donnaewe3692]

RIP to a legend ❤🙏 we'll miss you friend

[@Mudbug2000]

He was a poet

[@haroldhuddleston6585]

Kris was a Rhodes scholar at Oxford University in England

[@Rodney-yb4nz]

Copter pilots Nam

[@haroldhuddleston6585]

Negative on nam. Germany but no nam

[@justmari1988]

People think it was about his time with Janis Joplin. He never said so outright, but this song was released shortly after her death.

[@michaelfarmer966]

This is from 1972. I was 4 and singing it. My Grandparents had just divorced, and we lived with Granddaddy. He was taking it hard, so I learned all the great tear jerkers at a very young age. Songs like this and Help Me Make It Through The Night by Sammi Smith.

[@deborahn.6150]

Try "Give it Time to Be Tender" , a duet he did with Rita Coolidge

[@greendoor49]

Take a listen to Kristofferson's "Silver Tongued Devil And I"

[@bryandamkaer3646]

Great , emotionally powerful song. Still makes my eyes leak as the day I first heard it as a kid.

[@GaryGerow-dh9jm]

He was married to a woman named Rita Coolidge an American Indian , first nation

[@c.b.-11]

Adogg I found you last night while pulling up this Song and my curiosity to your reaction was still with me today so here I am. Much Respect to you and I am a new subscriber like 5mins new. I pulled this song because I was a young Private Stationed at Ft Bliss Tx and met a beautiful young lady in El Paso 38yrs ago. Now all this time that passed she's back in my life and I'm an Orphan who the world didn't care nothing about but Last May, God sent her back to me to not only save my life but to renew my hope for peace in my Soul and to try and live again. We both had bad marriages and now we will get married sometime early next year. it's unbelievable really as I was a dead set loner and drugs drugs took me down but God looked down upon me and had Mercy. What a God He is. I challenge everyone to just read these lyrics without the music. The one verse for you to really contemplate is "Dreaming was as Easy as Believing, it was never going to end. Every Relationship will end even if it's death that takes one away. Live and Rejoice today and my God Bless each person who read my long comment and do a Work in you that is Eternal. Adogg your most impressive and I look forward to getting notified by YT now when you release a new video.

[@ricelaker]

My favorite Kristofferson song. Thanks I remember this song from the movie "Cisco Pike"

[@Tuesdays_Gone]

He is a prolific songwriter and an actor. As someone else said, he never claimed to be a singer, but I love his voice, anyway.

[@osamiface]

He wrote "me and Bobby McGee. and many many others.

[@reneeeiier4818]

To the best of my knowledge Kris has never revealed who inspired this song, however he recorded this song shortly after Janis Joplin passed away, and they had had an extremely passionate relationship shortly before her death

[@karlyoung5089]

Tompall Glaser and his brothers really nailed this song. Kris wrote the song, he was one of the greatest songwriter of all time but his voice cant compare to the Glaser brothers.

[@pamelapropson6992]

I remember this on in my moms old station wagon!

[@wgj4everlong426]

IMO the greatest songwriter ever

[@gildahattabaugh4342]

Listen to "Why Me Lord." It's based on him going to church, and something happened to him there.

[@roswails1492]

rip kris

[@wgj4everlong426]

Heard a theory this was written for Janis Joplin.Her and Kris did spend time together before she passed away and this is off the same album as Black and Blue written after he got back from her funeral The timeline is right but that is just supposition

[@garyjones451]

you did well, my brother!

[@paidworldwide4209]

Try the studio version. You wiil get more feeling. Rock on!

[@paulwarner2716]

Kris is an actor as well.!!

[@terrystikeleather4717]

Hr started the Highway Men

[@TheLenyon]

I subscribed because of this. Great stuff

[@johngilbanni5891]

Waylon did a killer version of this on a live album. No disrespect to Kris, but the music behind Waylon takes it up to a whole other level.

[@sonjarussell7332]

My first major high school crush. A prolific songwriter, singer and actor. Reacting to all he has done could take years…..better get busy! Please!

[@timtutt2670]

He wrote Me and Bobby mgee Sunday Morning coming down. Help me make it through the night and For the good times. He was a RHODES SCHOLAR and landed a helicopter Johnny Cash front yard to get a song to him.

[@stanleyjayatillaka2792]
