It makes me weep that this man is not a music legend. Big love from England ❤

One of the greatest songs ever written in my opin....I met Mr Hiatt after he had performed a blues set and mentioned how much I wish he had played that song...I could see how that song affected him and I told him I was sorry to bring it up but that song just goes right through my heart like no other...he said...where are you from?...I told him...he said I will play it next time I come to your town....he didn't the first time but he did the second time...It was amazing- his daughter was in the audience and it was such an honor to hear that masterpiece and he is such a courageous artist to turn that tragedy into something beautiful that he shared with the world! Only an artist can do that.....

There is no "genre" to describe John Hiatt. He stands alone.

In the Netherlands you only hear have a little faith in me. But when you are willing to dig deeper into his discography it's like a journey through past present and future. Only a select few of singer songwriters are capable of giving you such a feeling. And John Hiatt is one of the greatest

Deceptively simple song. He's singing about the suicide of his wife, when their daughter Lilly was still a baby. This song gives me chills.

Without a doubt, Hiatt’s life was in the shitter by the mid 80s. Thankfully, he and Lily made it through to the other side!

I liked the song more before I read that. Great songs, like this one, can be interpreted different ways. I wonder why Mr. Hiatt chose to put those lyrics to an lilting melody and an upbeat, driving rhythm.

My good friend shot himself mother's day. Left his wife, and daughter Lilly. I hate the strength of the parallel. Bless your enemies, pray for those who hate you.

Wow; I didn't know about that origin of that song. It's one of my favorites. My dear wife Carol and I are big John Hiatt fans; we saw him at the Strawberry Music festival in N California years ago. Several times over the years. She just died a couple of weeks ago. I'm putting together a set to play at her send-off. Several Hiatt songs. I feel like I'm dying inside 💔 This music is keeping me alive.

John Hiatt is one of our foremost songwriters (across all genres) and an amazing performer. The people in this audience are just sitting there like lumps. I hope this isn't representative of Ann Arbor in general. How can you listen to John and now at least tap your effing foot? Oh well. Rock on, John!
@gatoryak73324 жыл бұрын
They know how special it was to hear John Hiatt in that setting and they were LISTENING. It was not a rock concert, dance hall, or tavern - all places one might expect more animated audiences.
@lclaughton12 жыл бұрын
You stated that very accurately! Mr Hiatt is a true musical icon...Strange how things change isn't it? John is still playing and singing as good as ever. In a way its like a great quarter back who can not compete in todays game with bad knees who is just a memory to those who remember him when! But, John can play on and on. Today he goes where the gigs are I guess. One thing sure, his music remains gold plated in a changing world where Bill Clinton gives speeches to stay in the game.

Awesome!! And i love the scene of children hearing real music, not the usual limp lyrics that they are usually exposed to. I wonder what brand of guitar he was playing? It is beautiful and has a great tone to it.

I love you, John. I feel for so many acoustic legends whom struggle trying to amplify acoustics. This guitar prolly sounds great unplugged, but I am not a fan of the piezo representation of this and many other wonderful acoustics. Such a drag. I wonder what John feels is the best system that doesn't colour the natural sound of his acoustics.

I agree Sarah. Actions speak more than words too. Some have 0 respect for others. I'm wondering why people have babies here. Not the appropriate place for infants and children. So they can start crying and ruin the show for everyone else? I would be pissed if I was there.
