john prine lake marie

[@scottsaathoff3908]

My 3 yr old daughter asks me all the time to "play peaceful waters Daddy" she recognizes it after two strums on the guitar every time it comes on. We started listening to it when she was a tiny baby and had a lot of trouble sleeping, but John would soothe here to sleep every time. I hope she hears this song when she's older and remembers it was her and daddy's song. Thank God for John Prine.

Thank you Emzy. Indeed he is. Peaceful waters, fishing and whistling while smoking a cigarette that's nine miles long. I love you John Prine! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Weird thing is - that's what Emzy would whisper to John privately at the funeral. And it would be completely appropriate and heartfelt. But now we put it out to the world. Just strange. And a little self-aggrandizing.

[@kellyparkinson8594]

I love this live version. "Oh Baby, we gotta go now." I swear I fell in love with that man ages ago and he resided about 40 miles from me in Brentwood. At least one of his homes.and for.the time his kids were in school. A dear friend of mine whose an actual good guy attorney in it for helping others, most humble with great humility, well his daughter went.to same private school in Nashville/Brentwood and he'd see Mr. Prine every morning and they became friends. I was given opportunity to meet him and his lovely wife but was too star struck and enjoyed my obsession from afar. Plus I didn't want to ogle over them. I wish now I could have just sincerely expressed my adoration for him, his song writing, amazing sense of humor and thanked him for his blessings and how he has touched me for 25 years. Always take advantage of an opportunity like that. I'm devastated I couldn't express my compassion for his talent. There's never been anyone like him and will never be another Master Prine. His family is as humble and lovely as you can imagine. Why can't there be more musicians like John Prine? Then again if there were, it would take away his unique magic. Rest in peace and yes, I hope he's enjoying a cigarette 9 miles long. 😉 Lake Marie is one of the most heartfelt compositions and recordings. I'm grateful to have seen him at Bonnaroo during the early days of the fest under a tent with true fans. I never tried to get close. Just found a perfect spot away from my friends and met new friends listening soulfully to his immeasurable performance.

I would consider being a bruised orange a compliment. And I took John's advise when I was younger. We moved to the country ,had alot of children, fed them all peaches, and let them find Jesus on their own.

[@soccerljg4]

Just saw John for the second time tonight. I'm 28 years old. I went to the show with my 25 year old brother, 57 year old dad, and 77 year old grandmother. Grandma had never even heard of John until we told her we were taking her to see him a couple weeks ago. And she loved it. And I can now say I've seen a concert with my grandma. Thanks John. And dad for getting me into John. And thanks grandma for getting dad into music. And thanks me for thinking it'd be awesome to take grandma. Full circle!

That entire story is just so amazing. Real and surreal at the same time. But mostly just real and vivid like the part about the girl falling asleep in his arms humming "louie, louie". American kids should have to take a John Prine class to graduate high school.

[@om2216]

My favorite John Prine tune out of many of his masterpieces. The Native Americans find two innocent babes not of their own kind and nurture them and name their lakes after them. Centuries later, modern society has turned that into a place where dogs were barking, cars were parking, loan sharks were sharking and narcs were narcing. What two bodies do we find? Naked bodies, faces horribly disfigured by some sharp object, their life blood turned into shadows. The singer's own love lost and slammed up on the banks of Lake Marie. Thank you John Prine for always writing songs that were about something specific but also about something vast and true. RIP

[@michaelb5e2]

John Prine never sold out and I dont really think he ever cared if anyone liked his songs, and what we got was pure brilliance

[@jeffwoods2921]

Oh I know he cared about the listeners, as though he knew and loved every single one of us. He didn’t care about the record companies wanting to control what he was wanting to do.

I discovered John Prine a singer song writer poet only recently and wonder now how i missed him in 65 years. What a discovery. All his songs have a deceptive simplicity with universal perennial age old themes that have relevance for us all at any age. He has a lot of humanity that does not exclude the listener nor promote the singer. And he's all the greater for that. Well done Mr Prine. You are a unique human soul out there for me. You give me hope and make me young again. Well as young as I'm ever going to feel. Cheers

I was turned on to John in 1979, Prime Prine, loved it. I play guitar and for the last 30 years played most of the songs on that album. I'd never seen him perform but 2 years ago I had the chance and I took it. Knowing he was 30 years older I thought he may have lost a step or two....wrong. The man was amazing, he and Jason Wilber,played all of Prime Prine and closed with this song O-I-O-I-O I loved it. This was on of the best shows I've ever seen and I've seen a lot. Don't miss him.
