Grant-Lee Phillips on Gilmore Girls

[@soniadelvalle89]

Okay, embarrassing confession time! When I was like 13 I wrote a GG fanfic about the Town Troubadour falling in love with a random Stars Hollow girl, and Miss Patty was all flirty with him and played matchmaker and oh god what is my life.

[@stayroxy]

thats so awesome lol

[@chixmix758]

@@stayroxy ooooh my god do you still have it i soo wanna read it im tryna understand the troubador's character more and this sounds great

[@cool-guy-wannabe]

dont be shy share it

[@adamwadereaves]

Hey keep on creating it’s everything!

[@powerboon2k]

Dark chapters of the mind friend.

[@patrickmgaddis]

When I first started watching the show, during the first season, I thought he was some type of singing narrator who wasn't really there, but then when he complained at the town meeting, I was like "I guess he's not a narrator."

[@_sindre_8658]

I thought the same!

[@lilyvr6744]

Me too!

[@lilyvr6744]

It would have been funny if when he started complaining about the second troubadour appearing no one heard him because he wasn’t real😂

Mona Lisa has my heart

[@borntogazeintonightskies]

​@@CarinaPowers9"Smile" is a personal favorite. Especially the acoustic rendition.

Thanks

[@YTfancol]

4:41 Mona Lisa is my favourite. Beautiful song.

[@American-Zero]

His cover of Mama Tried by Merle Haggard isn't bad either

[@westminsterabbey.6916]

My god i never realised how many times he popped up haha! I always loved seeing him in he middle of everything, just wondering around sharing his music :) I love this show

[@mireyab4392]

it's sucks that grant lee phillips songs aren't acoustic on his albums. I like his acoustic versions better their more original and beautiful

[@herr_luke87]

Yes!!

[@abbyhanna305]

just saw him performing in Northampton,MA at the Parlor Room August 10th, awesome,great and a very nice person. He took time after the show to meet and chat. See him live if you get the chance.

[@PaulaCoots]

Never watched the show, but this makes me want to check it out. Wish he was just hanging around my town to spread beauty like that. Thanks for compiling the clips and posting. :)

[@000mufasa000]

Never made the connection between Grant-Lee Phillips and Grant Lee Buffalo until I searched "Gilmore Girls Troubadour". I'm glad I did :)

[@CroakerSongs]

Grant-Lee is one of the true greats 👏

[@AnneShirley87]

"Everybody needs a little sanctuary" Gilmore Girls is mine! :)

[@louisemaaree]

4:15 my favourite one of his covers!! Peace Train 😍

[@wxclim8]

He fits so perfectly with this show. Love his music! Thanks for putting this together!

[@aquadinaa]

Thank you so much I love the town Troubadour 😂

[@champagnexoxo1198]

My god he was really the main character. I love his music so much!! One of a kind. He deserves so much recognition

[@emilyann1819]

I wish there was a full version of his cover of "40 Years"

[@The_White_Owl]

I wish there was a full cover version of "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go". Grant turned it into sad love song. Brilliant!

[@SamaAlawa1]

@@The_White_OwlSame! I also wish there was a full version of “Mama Tried” it’s one of my favourites up there with Heavenly and Mockingbirds Grant lee Philips is truely underrated.

[@meghangunz]

40 Years is definately my fave.

[@essemmetv]

Last night he played a wonderful gig in Buia, Northern Italy, and told the audience about his time on Gilmore Girls just before launching into a spectacular version of Mona Lisa. The man has it all: songwriting talent, a great voice and lots of self-deprecating humor.

[@agneskovacs9305]

It's so strange that you can only see it 21 times in 7 seasons, it seems like a lot more.

[@icic5]

2:45 is beautiful, I love that space he created!!!!

[@btrixlestrange]

I just found his band (Grant Lee Buffalo) on Spotify and recognized the song that played at on the fire light fest episode. His music is so good! My mind is blown. He deserves more screen time.

[@tymurray9634]

I’m happy to see my cousin doing all of this stuff. Yes I’m grants cousin. He’s in England right now

[@paromitasarker151]

His music is sooo soothing, so amazing ❤🖤🖤🖤

[@cool-guy-wannabe]

tell him he inspired me to pick up the guitar.

[@ethanlappin]

You can tell him he's one of my favourite things on GG ❤

[@lilyvr6744]

His song Mona Lisa has got to be my favourite:))

[@clol159]

i love this guy, best town troubadour ever!! :) thank you gilmore girls for letting me know about him!! :)

[@regis387]

Mama Tried. What a hoot. Thanks Merle.

[@jewelsthemonkey]

I wish he would put out an acoustic CD... man, I love when he sings "Peace Train."

[@PirateScoundrel]

you forgot when he was in the town meeting, and played "Taylor Left me Twistin' "

[@timmorris323]

What an artist.....very similar to Colin Hay's great appearances on Scrubs

[@books0from0boxes]

god I love him, he's so great.

[@suzieparis6821]

Loved this plus Alley McBeal with Vonda Shepherd..the good old days..so sad they have to be left behind

[@drowner1]

...and it was a tribute, too. The band that originally did "40 Years" was called House Of Freaks, a 2-member band. Shortly before the episode with "40 Years" in it was taped, former House Of Freaks frontman Bryan Harvey, his wife, and two lovely daughters were slain in their home by intruders. Harvey was a sweetheart of a guy, and had friends all over the music industry, including GLP. "40 Years" was Grant's tribute to the memory of the Harvey family.

[@SmithBroNathan]

Still watching in 2020!! Love it!!

[@larryndiour]

Grant-Lee really did a wonderful job during these 7 years ! Thank you for the compilation, it's nice to hear these again.

[@insana111]

mostly i like his versions better than the originals ^.^ he rocks! \m/

[@amirahlee]

I would stand and watch him every single time and applaud every time he finishes!

[@Owldude000]

Favorite character

[@kassandraayalasongs]

I love Grant's Heavenly!

[@kassandraayalasongs]

ooh, Mona Lisa too!!

[@LunaZola]

Thank you thank you thank you! I watch gilmore girl reruns everyday and I have for years. I always love the songs and it's nice to know what they are!

[@gilmorefan16]

omg its so sad he wasnt in the finale

[@Bluesbabesrv]

I never watched GG so I didn't even know Grant was in it, until I saw him perform a couple months ago. Thanks for putting this video together! My favorite GLB release....Fuzzy.

[@beautifuldreamer47]

Good job I loved it whenever he would ing around town he was so the best!

[@SmithBroNathan]

Still watching in 2021!! Love it!! 😊👍🏻

[@swirlingone]

i have to agree... just watched a rerun of the Hay Bale Maze episode this week....and the song really grabbed my emotions... for some reason the acoustic versions have that real and emotional edge to them thanks for the complete collection of troubadour songs ... it made my day

[@melmaltby3073]

Every time I watch reruns of this show I always smile when the troubadour walks into the frame. He's got mystique. But Taylor left him twistin'.

[@wxclim8]

Smile, Mona Lisa, Lily-a-passion and Mockingbirds are my favorites!

[@gluebottlehorses]

I love his version of be true to your school. :3 And Mama tried... and pre-owned heart. And Me and Julio down by the Schoolyard. and... yeah. XD

[@Yasemin_Sky]

I wish my town had one.

[@bettoluna9759]

amo esse seriado...vou sentir saudades !!

[@poldi911]

Thank you so much for this!

[@rblelis]

Love this show

[@meghangunz]

He punctuates the show so amazingly. I love GLP. :)

[@RockTheIvy]

If anyone has that 40 Years cover tabbed out I would be in serious debt. It absolutely rocks.

[@symphony6719]

By far the best character 😍😍

[@bigMCLR]

I really hope this show helped him sell more records So underrated

[@LooneyTonn]

Thank you for this!

[@wluvquel]

Tbh, the scenes in which he appears were my favorites

Nothing gonna break heart your today Nothing gonna steal your light away, no Even when the skies are turning gray Ah, you're gonna welcome in the rain, yeah Come on, come on Ah, let me hear it another time Come on, come on I?ll raise the spirit Nothing gonna chain you once your free Haven't gotta live in misery, no Even when you tried out every key But still another door worth opening, yeah Come on, come on Ah, let me hear it another time Come on, come on I?ll raise the spirit Music in your heart, coming on in waves, love But thunder in your head is rolling away Nothing gonna twist your arm again Nothing gonna sway you like the wind, no Nothing gonna get under your skin Nothing gonna twist your arm again, no Come on, come on Ah, let me hear it another time Come on, come on I?ll raise the spirit Come on, come on Ah, let me hear it another time Come on, come on I?ll raise the spirit

[@cool-guy-wannabe]

that right there is the man that inspired me to play guitar.

[@CarloGuarinoArt]

Awesome, I was waiting for some like this, a full collection of the of his performances on GG...thanxalot well done ^^

[@Blondiegrrl]

Thanks for this! I love it.

[@TheKasturbo]

he doesn't accept money. all he want's to do is speak through his music.

[@frostipagan]

I am so confused. I'm a huge fan of both GLP and Grant-Lee Buffalo but have never witnessed even a minute of this show. I think I slept through the early 2000s.

[@whatsongisthis5691]

Best is 5:47 "Mama Tried"

[@geoffingoff]

So thematic for that episode too

[@nicholasd1629]

does someone know where I can find his full version of "peace train"!??!? PLEASE I'm obsessed 😍

[@tigergirl921]

I have looked, for years, for his version of Peace Train with no luck. If you find it please post on here!

[@c-buck]

Me too.. and I'm also obsessed with the House Of Freaks cover T_T We need to ask him to make a full album of these acoustic songs x)

[@dcalder9266]

Agreed. I've looked and looked, but nothing yet :(

[@Yumikossan]

Me too... but nothing... :( This Version is so lovley 💕😊

[@onceuponawalkingdeadpll8355]

i hope they bring him back

[@juliocesarpedrosa1175]

tudo de bom!

[@Exp.LJ1223]

2:45 favorite song

[@Bladerunner93]

"Be True To Your School" is my favorite. Even though I disagree with it's entire meaning

[@whateverokayy]

This guy is absolutely win (y)

[@hagrid3689]

same... i can't find a video of it anywhere except here though

[@philipwilliamson]

These songs would make a great album.

[@missygraceful]

Mama tried ❤

[@celinasolheim869]

I am in love with 4:41 🥰🥰

[@Avery0420]

Just so yall know if you want to but it or something. "Honey don't think" is a Grant Lee Buffalo song.

[@SophiaMaria023]

i love gilmore girls :)

[@amakou23]

I'm just catching up on these series and now I stumbled across 7:30. Welp!

[@nandofim]

0:51 For me, the best Mockingbird.

[@waz3128]

I forgot Grant Lee Phillips was on the show. I only started watching Gilmore Girls because of the cool indie music namedrops which were completely lost on average Gilmore Girl fans

[@deweytucker5413]

He tried to sneak a Phish song passed me🤩. Yeah I caught it.

[@meganwoehl5277]

You forgot my favorite ),: homespun. It's season 4 episode 21 or 22

[@kugi777]

thanx ;-)

[@Amb-tastic]

The last song, "Raise the Spirit," I like the acoustic version in the Hay Bale Maze better than the version on the album. I know that's weird, but it feels prettier and more emotional.

[@jgluzifer]

RE: the house of freaks cover--just re-watched this episode recently and realized this was aired just after Bryan Harvey and his family were murdered.

[@mommynimako]

i love gilmore girls when i was single and even more now that i am a single mom...:0

[@Kyohru4lyf]

The Troubadour pretty much made half of the scenes on this show.

[@TheXander360]

i never noticed before but the town troubadour is kinda hot

[@JosephEstril]

I liked Gilmore Girls only because of Troubadour Guy and Kurt.

[@francisqchristopher8684]

Kirk

[@mekoraisjusthere7666]

Whos Kurt?

[@smurfswine7463]

Now I was forced to watch this series by my exgirlfriend, and the story really sux :D But there's all kinds of great music in it, and I'm a huge GLP fan, so I got kindda shocked when I found out that he was the in it.
