Loudon Wainwright - One-man Guy

[@katesj85]

Loudon is so underrated. This is one of my favorite songs. His lyrics are always so witty and ironic.

[@rickguerrero2282]

I just saw him on concert for the first time a month ago. This dude is fucking AWESOME!

[@williamtoffenetti814]

Kind of sheds a light down on all the "one man guys" out there.

[@dreamwell2020]

I don't know what it is about this song. It's not particularly a tear-jerker - no specific heartstrings are being tugged on here. It gets to me every time, though - it moves tears to me, for no reason that I can quite put my finger on. ...I guess it's just that it's such a beautiful piece of work that my heart swells with pride, just knowing that a fellow member of my very own species made this thing, all by himself.

[@alanjones4080]

He has written so many brilliant songs, but I think this is the best of the lot!

[@RFA_The-DuDe]

This is my life song... Thanks Loudon.

[@marshsherrif2824]

this is when my mum got him, she was 83. what a wonderful moment when you connect.

[@royw1982]

His voice sounded young. Like the voice of his young never change.

[@skoto8219]

a young man's voice, yeah - beautiful, natural tenor. his son also has a beautiful voice but you can tell he's really a baritone.

[@PinHead9707]

That's what it's all about: we are alone at the end of the day, no matter what company you may be in. So whistle that tune!

[@flyoneagleswings]

Thank you, Homeless guy For putting up Louden Wainwright the 3rd Videos, I cannot get enough of him. My whole family love him. An amazing talent, A great artist And funny to boot

[@H3len50]

Roll on Friday night and I get to see this genius again :-) x

[@hedfuka8608]

Brilliant...👍

[@TheRoadDawg]

Rufus sang this too. He should have said I’m a 10 man guy, lol. All in fun…I LOVE Rufus Wainwright! Check out his “Across the Universe” remake. Beautiful voice. Even his “He ain’t Heavy, he’s my Brother” is also incredible.

Any videos you liked previously and want back, please let me know. Or any songs you like and wonder is there a video, I will let you know if it exists, as what I uploaded before was just a small percentage of what I have. HB

[@bluevitriol]

Your Mother and I please! Grey in LA? In C?

[@delgie6]

'Your Mother and I' & 'April Fools Day Morn' would be great if they exist.

[@stevenpalmer18]

@homelessbrother You are awesome! Don't get into trouble for us but I thank you. If Loudon's people are reading these, I discovered Loudon through homelessbrother's youtube videos and have since then bought his records, gone to his shows, and introduced friends to him who have done the same. Your sales increase with his youtube exposure. Please allow us to love Loudon's art fully!

[@tarp11z]

… and arguably the most underrated musician in the folk/pop genre, which encompasses a great swath of recorded music.

[@Hackenbush1]

Best version of this song...thanks

[@cmonidons]

Absolute Class!!

[@pytoonia]

@homelessbrother thank you for the video

[@tarp11z]

His kids are great branches, but he is the tree.

[@cookiedip8127]

Lovely

[@larrywilley1998]

I need to be a one man guy. But it takes a lot of balls.

[@stevenpalmer18]

Your the best!!! How about the ukulele song and the old Dump the Dog, guitar one in the park. Thanx!!! you rock homeless brother :)

[@HankleburyTV]

The only kind of guy to be.

[@BelgianBrain]

EPIC...

[@tomkat69pc]

every tone is right ..

[@danieldougan269]

I love Rufus's cover of this. I wonder how Rufus feels about this song.

[@mic982]

+Daniel Dougan U do know that Rufus is Loudon's son, right? So, I imagine he loves it and the interpretation Rufus puts on it. Just my opinion,

[@TurveyTV]

+Mic Tod™ i think its quite obvious by his comment that he knos the link between the two peopole...

[@mic982]

+Christopher Turvey Yes, I guess you're right, I didn't read the comment correctly...thanks.

[@TurveyTV]

Haha cool

[@danieldougan269]

How would you feel if your dad wrote a song about being a loner and saying he only loves himself?

[@laurencelebacq4294]

Superbe !!❤👌

[@coreycox2345]

I have felt the same since I have been in therapy. I am a one-woman gal, and that gal is me. Anyone else would have to make it through that gauntlet. I hope someone does. :)

[@mic982]

If you like Loudon's style give John Hiatt a try. My personal favorite of the two. Both are pretty damn good, tho.

[@Canikickityesucan]

Hey homeless brother if you could find louden performing screaming issues I would be in your debt would love to share it with my daughter

[@homelessbrother]

@stevenpalmer18 Both uploaded last night at your request sir. HB

[@elkabong6429]

My theme song

[@brian666belcher1975]

What is the line "These three cubic feet of blood and bone are all I love and know" referencing?

[@mydietisfruitsnuttandseed9817]

His body. Probably the average man's body composition.

[@brian666belcher1975]

@@mydietisfruitsnuttandseed9817 not on my case but thank you for the input. Sounds reasonable to me.

[@profahn7353]

maybe the most narcisstic lyrics ever written... it was genius by his neglected son to cover it, perform it with friends and harmonize it ("one man guy" with three voices)

[@ig2d]

That looked like peter belgvad in the audience

[@wyldshrine7905]

ig2d but was it him

[@peerman2006]

Bob Dylan can write a decent song.
