M. Ward - Oh Lonesome Me

[@AndrewG7862]

I love that it sounds like he's using old & dirty strings. As a guitarist there have been many times where I could feel and hear that grit of sliding my fingers over the old strings... a small touch that really hits home on that "lonesomeness".

[@daleex1]

I encourage everyone to indeed find out more about m ward. I myself am so glad norah jones had him touring with her otherwise I might not have ever discovered him

[@SuiteLaneMusic]

Such a beautiful and elegant cover of Don Gibson's classic!! Neil Young's and this cover are my favourites so far!!

[@sidnomis1]

I cried and smiled all at the same time. I don't understand. What a beautiful song.

[@tagyako1]

had to sign up just comment on these amazin artists...this song takes my breath away

[@danteprioleau7800]

Mannnnnn....this song hard bro and sis... 🥇🥇🥇

[@Invaderliz123]

who would dislike such a gentle and strong tune?

[@0z0mbielike]

m ward doing a duet with my fave female singer, lucinda williams. close your eyes and let the song take you away. the strings are beautiful.

[@earmud]

amazing is an understatement...............................yet, i'm simply speechless with enchantment so i guess i would have not of said it much better. take care all

[@Kiwikim1]

What a perfectly suited pair to do a duo. Love it

[@imannonymous7707]

two amazing artists who just need more great material thats not a putdown but a fact

[@themanfromaspen7073]

wow never heard of this guy before but this version is powerful thanks for posting and merry Christmas to everyone

[@red88alert]

this is soul music...for the soul and by the soul...

[@Hugo411]

the Opening drifts through your mind, like Smoke drifting away from a chimney.

[@SarahFata]

Adoro M. Ward

[@adders45]

each to their own - me, it makes me smile,

[@follepourchevaux]

The first time I heard this, I cringed, but I love Lucinda and downloaded it from iTunes. It really took me a couple of times listening to it to "get" it. Once you get your head out of your ass, forget about how it's "supposed to be sung", and actually listen to it, you will realize it's a brilliant interpretation of a classic. And at the end, he just sort of stands back and lets Lucinda carry it out. I love this version!! And now I want to know more about M Ward.

[@MrJohnnyBitter]

In the middle of this analysis the writer starts projecting on the reader by saying "you". I actually loved this from very first listen. I guess my head wasn't in my arse unable to hear? Jacinda can raise sensual out of sadness, quite the goddess!

[@MrJohnnyBitter]

Lucinda!!! My fucking national 'leader' id getting into my head during this lock-down!!

[@andyellsworth3499]

they appropriately drag the crap out of this. Production is lush and right on. The background textures really carry the dynamics of this tune. Beautifully done. I too thought Neil's version was it, and I still do, but this is a close 2nd.

[@NoNo-fz2kw]

My new winter music. This, and let's dance.

[@montagisdead]

as you turn alone between two cool sheets.

[@julie223783]

great classy cover

[@tedster1956]

An old song, with a sweet twist.

[@zdime]

@chrislc11 Don Gibson had a hit with 'Oh, Lonesome Me' in 1958. He penned Patsy Cline's hit, 'Sweet Dreams' and the country standards, "I Can't Stop Loving You' and 'Sensuous Woman' .... a great and legendary country music songwriter. Ward does a great job of it, though, for me, Neil Young's version is the 'lonesomest' version of them all !

[@xrockangelx]

*sigh* Oh, this song.. I think I may have to cover it too.

[@championette..]

Noreen Pitts Do it!! 💙

[@Artysjar]

I need a bottle of Jack and some pot, then listen to this song again. Good fucking shit here man. Awesome.

[@14wAYNE]

Until a few moments ago, I was convinced that Neil Young's version was best..but this is just breathtakingly achingly beautiful

[@sidnomis1]

@MrVATO37 funny thing is bro, i would normally say the same thing, but this song got me high without the aid of anything else. due to that, i've hit replay about 500 times. lol!!!

[@katt1177]

reminds me of a male mazzy star :)

[@wahlicnm]

Wow, this is really good music! Thanks to Paul and Ian from The Vampire Diaries for mentioning how good this guy's music is;)

[@THIRDLEGBLIND]

Nice redo. I wonder though if he is ready to do a duet with the fabulous Lady Gaga? just my opinion. KISSES!!

[@THIRDLEGBLIND]

Melo Faceless Takes one to know one, sugar. Now come over here and sit on Daddys lap. just my opinion. KISSES!!

[@jamelocarmelo]

Lol what the hell is wrong with you

[@THIRDLEGBLIND]

Melo Faceless Who? just my opinion. KISSES!!

[@THIRDLEGBLIND]

Melo Faceless Nothing wrong with me boi, all my gear works just the way it was meant to. just my opinion. KISSES!!

[@THIRDLEGBLIND]

Melo via Ohio Melo, will you come over and rub Daddys feet? just my opinion. KISSES!!

[@dylanizer1]

good night

[@tlpayne16]

M Ward's brilliance in re-interpreting is nonpareil. Talk about a niche.

[@Rulamah]

Then she thinks the same! Result : 2 lonesome souls!

[@MrDwilson53]

I love m. ward. I particularly like the Transfiguration of Vincent. But I prefer Neil Young's version of this particular song.

[@jzoom45]

u should hear blue bayou duet with norah jones...oh that shit;ll take u away into outer space

[@mauralogue1900]

Galanta

[@Cabuv4deetales]

I thought it was Dusty springfield singing. Then i recalled she was a bit dead.

[@MySpeedIsTooHigh]

At 1:48, is that singing?

[@mayday63]

Yes

[@agingstoner]

@Myro45 The lyrics and the basic melody are the same. What are you talking about?

[@rabi1080]

wow. i had no idea he covered this song. amazing. think i like the neil young version better though

[@tullsongs]

love this !..but Neil Young owns this song

[@fucktart1234567]

M.ward is my 2nd favorite musician without a doubt. I hate this damn song

[@echoplexi]

I'm a huge Neil Young fan. If you're going to cover a great song reinvent it. Mission accomplished.

[@MrShovelit]

This on 33rpm lmao

[@earthjiva]

lol

[@FabianRuni]

Love "The first time I ran away" - really do not like this.

[@gabrielsarnikov]

Thank you for your opinion

[@infpisland9295]

* *Yawn* *

[@GuitarForAC]

ah, but sir, it seems as if you are the one who has shared his ignorance.

[@ewd67]

THE worst thing I have ever heard. Loved his version of Rave On. This is PAINFUL to listen to !!!

[@JakeWarwick2410]

ewd67 haha can’t be that bad!
