This song rings so true. The video confirms all of us when we burst our hearts in that perfect moment and would never dial it back. Pokey, thanks. That diner breakfast the morning after sometimes is the eyes of your future wife over a coffee cup

[@oldfartnewstart1928]

Just discovered Pokey. I aint going anywhere, staying right here. I'm an instant fan!

[@lamarkelley4058]

I feel the same way! I discovered him last week and now I'm watching everything he's done.

[@gregruland1934]

100%

[@sackett68]

Yep me too!

[@EarmonkeyMusic]

Welcome to the club. Nothing like "real" music to help cure the soul, especially in these weird, weird times.

[@byronhowell5915]

Few months ago for me. Went straight to the wed and bought the new album. Love it!

[@youdeservethis]

If I had a heart, this song would melt it.

[@jeremycary5908]

My 19yr old son discovered Pokey and brought his music to me. Proud Dad here that my son gets and appreciates great music.

[@joem7572]

Good on you, he had to have gotten it from somewhere. I got my boy into Nathanial Rateliff and he's been exploring great music for the last few years. He brought Billy Strings and Mandolin Orange to my attention.

[@PromotingTunes]

19 here also. Pokey is the best !

[@MARTINAW2311]

So did my daughter! :-)

[@Thequietestquiet2875]

That's some good parenting. You should be proud.

[@mojo6706]

Thank God people are still writing songs like this. Sinatra was great, this guy is awesome. Way to go Pokey

[@beckmitful]

A beautiful way to say "i love you, thank you for seeing my potential".

[@powerofpaper]

All this time I only had "Tom waits" for these types of songs, but now I have "Pokey Lafarge " too.

[@Ford1GT]

You are so right

[@paulpwns8054]

Paul Anka has some nice ones too, and of course this chord progression is very reminiscent of “ Earth Angel”

[@coryburns2341]

@@Ford1GT I didn't know he did real stuff instead of comedy I like

[@IslandOfHumour]

Came here to comment the same. Glad I am not only one who heard the similarities

[@rksnj6797]

YES!!!

[@spuckz]

This is pure art of beauty in every aspect, motion, pace, storytelling, sets, color grading, music, filming, poem, acting. Pure love. God bless America for keeping the dream alive and keep the world dreaming that there is something bigger out there waiting for all of us.

[@hescher997]

Man, this guy is something else I tell you what. He is not shy or afraid to do it his way. The way of old. A good way. The right way.

[@4coolclips]

I think this will be the next great wedding song. Absolutely took my breath away!!!

[@asmahj4175]

Waiting tables, at the burger stead, you were sitting alone i came up for your order and asked you what you want you said, do you really wanna know ? Just got in town i didn’t have a friend i didn’t even have a car down at the 3 clubs, i wrote you a poem and you bought the drinks at the bar Oh, then, you fell in love, with me, YES you did ! You took me to A from Z Yes you did ! It was something you could see i was broken, i was poor, then said I could be yours Though i don’t have a dime Even bums, get lucky sometimes I’ve never been a hero I can’t pretend to have a plan I just want to be a regular guy Does that mean i could be your man ? Not strong or fast wasn’t good in school Yes when I sing I’m flat or sharp mmmmh Then you took your aim at me And you shot your arrow through my heart Oh when you Fell in love with me Yes you did ! You took me to a from z Yes you did ! There was something you could see Oh I found my key We’re in perfectly harmony With every verse and rhyme Even bums get lucky sometimes Well I don’t deserve nothing But sometimes you get something yeah Just for hanging around Even bums get lucky sometimes

[@mikewood9514]

Thank you lady.

[@jakubbarton1770]

I love how theres not one rhyme in this whole song

[@Tubesockfullofbakedbeans]

@@jakubbarton1770 I didn’t have a dime. Even bums get lucky sometime is the only one I can remember off hand

[@leadershipvids]

this man is magic! truly a gem

[@norberthowe8650]

Absolutely!!!!

[@peachofahand1]

Always end up watching this...Perfect.

[@tenminuteretreat807]

Absolutely beautiful. Pokey, I know you can't satisfy everyone, especially with your type of music. But your music means the world to some people, including me. Hope that helps. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

[@axldemocracy]

Beautiful song and video. Can't wait to hear the new album. Thank you, Pokey.

[@henri4848]

I agree, beautiful song and video. ❤️

[@williamlulham6890]

Pokey LaFarge is an incredible musician, his lyrics are beautiful and definitely unique ! 🎼 I became a devoted fan three years ago when I discovered his music while listening to different Jazz and Blues bands.. 🎶

[@nfantone]

This. It's pretty darn close to be one of my instant favourite tunes of all times. A little trip to heaven. Brilliant, raw stuff.

[@PW.6060]

Instantly one of my favorites. This is Pokey LaFarge.

[@mrjosephharvey]

Love everything about this. I dig the early Tom Waits vibe. Beautiful Song.

[@freddyboombatz]

With Toms music you can smell the stale beer and cigarette butts.

[@johnroberts2957]

right on JH i thought the same thing... would love a waits cover of this tune.

[@c_kennmusic5737]

This is fantastic. You just keep getting better, Senor LaFarge.

[@jamesa.valencia362]

Just found Pokey, interestingly enough on Spotify while listening to Amy Winehouse radio. I’m hooked, this song is sooo beautiful, can’t stop playing it.

[@BinkyDoinkus]

I absolutely LOVE the old timely feels coming from his songs.

[@zacky3525]

Love this old school vibe bringing it back. Now when I get old and grey. these will be the songs of the 20s

[@leslieherston3401]

I discovered Pokey one night, going through all kinds of music. He's a bit of everything I Love, I will never stop listening to this Super Talent. He's been in movies too.

[@donhoffman5859]

Tremendous talent in Pokey and his band. I have yet to find a song by him that I don't enjoy.... And the gal in this video is absolutely home grown pretty ! Not caked on make up, just naturally beautiful....

[@kanakahuhu]

I donʻt know how I got here and yes I was lost but now I am found. In less than 5 minuteʻs time I fell into this backstory of the video and I fell love in love with the moment.

[@chrismartin1734]

I had no idea a song was going to hit me so hard in the feels tonight.......FUCKING BRILLIANT!

[@freeone6711]

Gotta love Pokey

[@ednagettobed5793]

Superb.

[@ELS-tone]

I really loved this. Pokey, you are one of my favorite artists, and this really sounds like your older stuff. This one really touched me in a powerful way

[@ktbecker89]

I hope these guys keep this sound alive forever ❤

[@domber9208]

Rrrrrrrrrrhhhh..... magnifique !!!!🔥🔥🔥

[@murphy9924]

In these times of trouble music is our salvation. Thank you so so very much reverend LaForge. The music you create is helping save music itself.

[@garyshaw3112]

That is just wonderful just love that song

[@WilliamHunterII]

Pokey's a trip, and he has yet to disappoint.

[@exoe4040]

Just seen him live for the 3rd time in SF last week, already bought tickets for his show in Santa Cruz in August for my birthday!

[@melanieelliott8417]

You change and still manage to stay true to organic music! Just love you Pokey!

[@nickwilliams1065]

GENIUS, pure and simple.

[@roserose3279]

Finally, a musician making great music during this generation. Everything i could of wished for has finally came true. Yes. Very nice. Nice bubble bath music.

[@eilanninharrisblack]

This song is perfection. Nailed it ❤

[@brentanllewellyn3898]

Authentic swingin vibes. Thanx Mr LaFarge. CW Stoneking, Billy Strings & Pokey LeFarge would be my dream team concert after lockdown. Big love to all.

[@tonywright8294]

How often can you hear a song first time and love it ? It’s happened to me five times so far and they are all by pokey ! Superb music

[@martyoaks6618]

Absolutely beautiful and a unique melody. I'm going to enjoy learning this. Thanks, Pokes!

Why cant everything be this 50 60s style so awesome

[@Taru1blm]

Because the tribe imports “cultural enrichment” “diversity makes us stronger” bullshit lies to destroy white western nations.

[@BoStone]

Oh Pokey! You did it again!

[@zd3365]

In just a few days, Pokey has become my new addiction. Happened across one of his songs on a random Spotify list I listened to...and wham! Very similar to when I first heard Karise Eden or J.D. McPherson. I'm a bit overwhelmed.

[@BearCatMama]

Beautiful 💕

[@ameatytulip374]

This is spiritual on many levels. God bless this man.

[@chrislaughlin701]

Its awesome to see Esther rose and Chris Aker in the video I first heard of them on gems on vhs. which has eventually led me to your music. It all comes full circle in time.

[@richardhansen1590]

Well what do you know! In digging in the mountains to find a classic song, i think i have uncovered a gem of a song!

[@AndrewEllisAndymanout]

I love the straight blues he plays.

[@wescollins2981]

I'm going to pokey's upcoming concert in Asheville man i can not wait

[@tinekeverboort8206]

A beautiful, sweet song

[@TheJdaldridge]

Good lord I absolutely love this song. Pokey's music is everything we didn't know we needed to just chill the fuck out.

[@pedrolanevert]

Ultra fan! This is by far, one of the very best song i heard since à long time! Beautiful melody! Great love story!

[@garyfantastica]

Love your work!
