Ron Sexsmith - "Get in Line"

[@micheleemcdaniel389]

Haunting quality to Ron's voice.

[@clemlowes2112]

Ron Sexsmith is criminally underrated.

[@prototypechannel6975]

couldnt have said this better.. you can see it on the face of other stars when he performs.. they know it.. They barely hold a candle to this guy

[@nottsgriff]

So many of his albums are overproduced to the point of blandness. He needs to release a greatest hits album recorded just like this. Acoustic. Clean. If MTV Unplugged was still a thing he'd finally have a smash hit. Such a talented songwriter and musician though.

[@tumadoireacht]

To anyone oppressing or bullying or constantly finding fault with another: Stop. Listen to Ron.

[@Blueforlifefry]

He's sitting next to one of the top songwriters of the '60s, who's looking on in admiration

[@williamknell864]

Is that Graham Gouldman?

[@thewalkthroughmusic]

Hes such an amazing song writer. Also he was my mom's babysitter

[@parknmart]

You know you're a true artist when the other artists are watching your hands to see how your making that sound. Bien hecho, Ron!

[@markstig]

🙏🎸☺️

[@dt90891]

Sooooo damn brilliant and dark. Record execs suck. The music industry sucks. Ron keep doing what you do. Never sell out. Never change.

[@beuxjmusic]

Not totally fair, there are plenty of small Managers and Distributers who really try hard to be good to their employers, it's only the big companies and the people who try to imitate the big companies who think of artists as chattel to own and exploit.

[@natisfreezing]

seriously am in love with this man's music. I just want to spend everyday listening to his sweet voice

[@neilwilson5785]

Nat is a bit less Freezing now. That is what music can do

[@sianwarwick633]

Absolutely fluting good

[@bonfireballads]

The last verse of this song is brilliant!

[@bcarroll7317]

Ron Sexsmith is a songwriting genius. So far, he has not received the credit he deserves.

[@madeleinehague648]

Paul McCartney, Ray Davies, Chris Martin, Elvis Costello, Feist. All sing Ron's praises. He IS terrific!

[@ClichéGuevara-2814]

Steve Earle is also a huge fan.

[@nickrussell9646]

this dude is an absolute freak. serious talent.

[@Schmorgasblab]

After turning on the TV and getting immediately enthralled in the documentary Love Shines, I am hooked on Ron's music. There is something about this man that inspires hope. I can only hope that he realizes how influential his music is.

[@RogerRFontaine]

the song is the anthem for all musicians who attempt to raise their voice and break the silence- nice melody- musically the song is simple, clean, and easy to remember. That's what makes a song great: memorability. This one has it. Get in Line.

[@stetaxi3]

@hawkworthington . Indeed. Both Fran and Graham are showing great admiration. This guy is fantastic. His singing, guitar playing and timing are impeccable. Just can't fathom how a singer/songriter of his calibre hasn't made it big time.

[@sianwarwick633]

Let's buy some more of his cds 💿

[@serenitynow6119]

Which 10 sad souls gave this a thumbs down?!

[@pscraft1337]

Am I the only one who likes this more than the studio version?

[@markfowler7841]

No

[@EvanB9487]

Album is ruined by Bob Rock’s production

[@willyates2069]

Nope

[@Alsatiagent]

Many of his studio versions are over-produced. I hope he considers rerecording some of his work and releasing it it on an album.

[@RBrooks-g5x]

I just love this guy.

[@Schmorgasblab]

Going to see Ron perform next week, finally. This man is a genius.

[@BilisNegra]

I do usually puke over the "this music/artist is underrated" cliché comment, but I'm afraid it's a true remark talking about Ron. Of course he's not totally ignored, and you can count me into his fanbase, but it feels like he gets less than he gives

[@sianwarwick633]

Saw him for the first time this week. Not over it yet. Buy more of Ron's cds. You'll wish you could sing and sound like him.

[@alexfaycassie]

Yay for Ron. Way to go, big man. This is quite possibly the finest pop song EVER!! It's so simple & so perfect you wonder why no-one has written it before now. This has to be my favourite version of the song. Ron Sexsmith - you deserve every success that comes your way.

[@tilly15773]

fran healy's face absolute picture. Love this

[@ClichéGuevara-2814]

Graham Gouldman's face says, "50 years of writing...how'd I never come up with THAT?"

[@allancross6572]

Classic ,brilliant singer songwriter .The best.

[@ziggyzugg]

Allan cross of jam tarts fame ?

[@MultiFreddy34]

What a voice that guy has, holy geeeze, I'll try to hit most of the notes for you." Ron just has the lovely ability of conflating affability, melody, and nostalgia into songs that are meaningful and memorable. And also notice how he never plays an electric guitar live. Imagine how many how many high quality cuts he's penned with his sturdy acoustic guitar

[@CrStrifey]

Such originality and song writing capability. Love you Ron.

[@pledgestone]

His masterpiece. He outdid himself here. Great stuff.

[@clockwork9827]

Please god let someone cover it !

[@louern123]

he has succeeded. totally addictive. love love love. i'm a ronfan.

[@gumbytron1]

master at his craft.

[@lassalle4]

Certainly is a Canadian Icon ! And there are many amazing Canadian artists but for me Ron Sexsmith is Just the finest songwriter . I saw him around 1996 in my hometown of Cork in the famed Lobby bar . Mesmerizing

[@mrsgwyllt]

Magical! So simple and tuneful. I love it.

[@nickrussell9646]

This is sovfar from simple it's mind boggling.

[@recyclerking1]

Man Ronnie sure can float the melody

[@Ananderson100]

Absolutely love it!!!!

[@hansfritzstrutz]

Love this song!!

[@schizoidman601]

Man's a genius x

[@truthbetoldtoday9689]

An amazing song.

[@fSociety-op4cc]

The greatest song of all time

[@bognorgirl]

this is so worth al listen. Great song

[@jannalli7]

He's so cute and sings and plays beautifully.Hope he comes to visit Australia..I'd go see him for sure! =)

[@williamedwards7010]

your so good ron

[@mrFlefner]

I caught this Songwriters Circle on the iPlayer before it expired, excellent mix of people and songs. I then watched the film on the making of Ron's new album - amazing the number of knockbacks this guy received.. Both programmes were my first exposure to Mr S but I've since ordered Exit Strategy.. and Late Bloomer.. Good Stuff.. very Macca-esque at times. Keep em coming Ron

[@joesartini2903]

Another great tune, just love all his music.

[@tammytroot1]

seen this great man at king tuts years back.had never seen or heard him before. stood a few feet from him and was instantly hooked! i pray like previous post someone can fund him to help what is surely one of the greatest unsung/unrewarded songwriters EVER! listening to his interviews is painful at times due to his sheer frustrations at not getting over his recorded songs live due to financial constraints

[@woodlandfairy8]

Wish you would come to the Sunshine Coast Ron! Love your lyrics and voice...the epitome of great songwriting. xo

[@TadVacuous]

gorgeous voice as allways; gorgeous song

[@stratmen]

What a beautiful sense of melody Sexsmith has. As this was a songwriters circle, Sexsmith shared the stage with two other others. and somewhat ruefully he said, “I’m the only one up here who hasn’t had a hit.”

[@matt876mma]

amazing song, heard this on the radio , and had to come find it

[@normabrem9921]

Amazing song. Lyrical and poetic. And look at his sense of humour in his intro even before he starts singing! The guy on the right appreciates it but the guy on the left doesn't even know what to say. Very nice indeed! Blow them away Ron!!!

[@sianwarwick633]

Ron has access to the place, that pool of melody where the good songs are. And they jump like fish into his lap.

[@skinnerman100]

best album for a long time love you ron

[@GlenAnne99]

Love his music...so nice to find this on YT...thanks for putting it up :) Annie

[@hawkworthington]

cant you just see the admiration in fran healys face ........the guys a legend ...long over due glory .......heres to you mr sexsmith long may you shine

[@pledgestone]

One of the greatest songs penned in my opinion.

[@ClichéGuevara-2814]

When they were handing out Melody, this guy backed up a frigging U-Haul.

[@joshuajordisonofficial]

Best comment I've seen in a long time.

[@BarneyFife00]

Wow, great tune. Ron rocks!!

[@caoimhinbenjamin9998]

FANTASTIC!

[@carlmccumber]

grew up watching this man, no regrets.

[@daveyewart4289]

love it

[@troypenner1139]

Ron Songsmith does it again

[@thenoisyneighbour3705]

AMAZING

[@pauleliot6429]

talks to my heart

[@Atlantis93]

Love Ron Sexsmith. Fantastic voice.

[@popeyethesailor2525]

Один из немногих, кто нравиться из зарубежных исполнителей.

[@ziggyzugg]

yeah i agree- i'd interpret it as plaesure...like the way the guy on his right is looking at him...pure appreciation..

[@beatriznanotilla9333]

Brilliant!

[@QuinceJams]

Beautiful, such a talent!

[@ceceliapaul5056]

I so like it. a whole bunch.

[@jackdugan5566]

love you ronnie

[@daveyuke8]

Talented guy just has not had the breaks that some "less talented performers" have had.

[@Sharonjrainey]

❤thanks

[@SuperSparkyMark1]

Ron is awesome.

[@milesfromneworleans]

Great song, well sung!

[@RonanKearney1]

such a beaut tune

[@claremurphy1412]

Really good !! i like it xx

[@cristopherjude136]

Hello There 👋🏻👍🏻 Beautiful Comment..

[@sergioperezdeheredia8211]

Preciosa

[@mindhead2005]

Ron is a legend!

[@MrSmackdab]

Concise, self-contained, raw and every part necessary. Ron is on par with Sir Paul

[@reinhildebrand1972]

Maybe better?

[@clockwork9827]

Beautiful Ron. Sweet as buttermilk. fast delivery hey ?

[@17Bayberry]

Reminds me of songs from the 50's - 'story songs' that is...he did it well and in front of a tough audience = song-writers. He did it well. Graham has been song-writing since the 1960's - he spent time working for a famous NYC song-writing house in the late 60's and it was grueling work...he has paid his dues.

[@jimsanger]

What a voice Ron has

[@elkbarry89]

Nailed it!

[@pscraft1337]

That applause!

[@kimabraham6973]

I seen him in concert very well talented

[@teragram1956]

Best album I've heard in many years. Not a bad song on it.

[@andisay203]

Ron Sexsmith should be a household name. Radio is doing us a huge disservice. Decades go by and good music goes unheard. Just more soylent green poppy gobbledygook.

[@Oasisbill]

Ron Sexsmith!!!! GOD.

[@BilisNegra]

Well established Spanish band "Los Secretos" did a more than fine rendition of this (named "Ponte En La Fila"), Check it out!

[@beatriznanotilla9333]

BilisNegra You are right indeed! Thanks to Los Secretos( our very best Spanish pop/rock band for more than 20 years), I happened to discover J. Sexmith. Fom that moment onwards, I follow this amazing Canadian singer.Los Secretos did a great adaptation with a funny videoclip. Don't miss it, guys!

[@torontolarrivee7965]

the looks on the faces of the other guys on stage say it all

[@CultofDollar]

23 people missed the 'thumbs up' button!

[@AR2D76]

Genius

[@1997CJC]

legend

[@dixonstreetdrummer1846]

Unfortunately for Ron, media idiots didn’t promote him. He is directly one of the reasons I no longer listen to the radio. Social media has also killed new music., or at least the choice of music. For example, first part of the Lego movie is really a horror movie. Sad thing is even adults who watched it when it was first released will still not get it. Everything is awesome 😂

[@vermilionlimit]

@browndogozzy You're very lucky; I would love to have the chance to see him live.

[@mervyngale4588]

Next stool...the man who wrote "No Milk Today" and "Evil Hearted You"...exalted company indeed

[@QFIhawkman]

Fran Healey clearly loved this.

[@blairmelanson7480]

Why I cant I fiend I buy his music anywhere in stores?

[@spaceengineer1452]

Who are the other 2 ? Why aren't they in the description ?!

[@kevingrant9810]

They both can’t believe there not the best songwriter on the program…… especially the guy from 10CC 😂

[@ceceliapaul5056]

I'm sorry I missed in St. John N.B I would have waited in line.

[@beatriznanotilla9333]

Thanks to Los Secretos, my Secretos, I found this great musician and poet. This is a perfect song from all points of view possible and a good source of linguistic material for that unfinished PhD dissertation. Who knows? Is it my priority now? Not really...getting off the point, lol.🎸

[@mamamamum]

this is not his band, these are three song writers all preforming their own work. this is part of a series.

[@beatriznanotilla9333]

So witty and ironic...what an intelligent song writer
