I love his music because every single one of his songs is from things that have happen to him in his life

[@maryfraser5345]

I just love 💕 Paul Thorn - saw him tonight at Savannah Music Festival and I even got to hug him - that is his generous spirit that everybody loves plus he is a fine musician and great storyteller too❤️💕🥰

[@roxannareneerantz638]

I think when you hear THE TRUTH... You just FEEL IT! Thank you Paul Thorn for letting people know that HE can come to you anywhere!! (The first time I heard this song- I thought you stole him from that yard sale! 🤪)

[@pl8789]

Better than any one on the radio

[@crabbycpa4525]

When I listen to Paul's songs, he reminds me of a southern Jim Croce

[@JimboHotWings]

Last year at a one of his shows an old timer told me Paul was a front porch Bob Dylan. I'll never forget that conversation.

[@sdaddyo67]

This dude is so damned good!!

[@chrisharper835]

Such an amazingly talented and funny guy.... its easy to miss just how good he sings.....he really is an excellent singer!

[@davidramsey2411]

The rock of ages on a gravel road. Does it get any better than that? Except maybe the flock of ceramic sheep. Absolutely classic!

[@davidsevenbros3065]

Had not heard of Paul before. Now I have and now I'm hooked. A superlative song writer.

[@GreenCanvasInteriorscape]

Hooked indeed, no bad tunes yet

[@davemcbroom695]

What a great poet!

[@ChiChiGem66]

Paul? I don't know if you see these posts or not brother...but i used to be in a really bad way. You've helped me thru my struggles with songs like this. I'm writing music again and after five years, have built my way back up and got me a new guitar!!!!!!! 🎸

[@ericholdsworth6611]

nice

[@markmccarty727]

That says more than anything anything anyone can say! Paul is the greatest songwriter I've ever seen!

[@cravinbob]

There is a song line right there so I made up a chorus: Well I broke down - now I'm broke again But a new song might take me far I broke down and its broke in And I got me a new old guitar

[@terrellprice8013]

Talent is a gift from God. Paul has been blessed just with such talent just as those of us who have had the pleasure to be entertained by a native Mississippian.

[@howardk6031]

recently heard first time on NPR. was impressed. these videos confirm.

[@williampoff3096]

That song is deep........Dont miss the meaning yall!! Jesus has us all in His arms if we believe and trust in Him!!

[@mikeb3603]

Ya can't put mr. Thorn's music in a box. Its folk, it's blues, it's rock. ALL great! "Algorithm and Blues". Title to your next song?

[@Simpleton.6644]

Wow that was a really well written song!

[@LandonsGrampa]

Through the years, Mr Thorn's songs have made me laugh, cry, think and even sometimes understand something that I didn't quite get before. It's very obvious that Mr Thorn loves his family, friends and his Savior Jesus Christ. If you have never heard him sing gospel or Christian music, you should take the time to do so.

[@pennybailey6359]

I'M LOVIN' IT! KEEP ON ROCKIN' FOR OUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST!

anybody know were 'I had every intention of buying the farm ' comes from, it rings a bell

[@cureforsale]

Leonard DSL sorry for the late reply. "To buy the farm" is an old joking reference to death which was made famous by U.S. government insuring the lives of our soldiers. If a soldier died they said they bought the farm. This is in reference to the soldier's family using the money to pay off their family farm.

[@leonardhpls6]

[@robloxmaster118]

Mark Jesus came to save people who know they r sinners and need a savior. If you understand you can't make all this right and you can't be who God intended you to be without his help you are already closer to salvation than a lot of religious people. He created you, he loves you, he isn't afraid of the darkness of your sin, he paid the price on a rugged old cross for you already. U can find healing in his arms and forgiveness just ask him today.

[@jimbob7559]

Yup. And Santa Clause knows who has been good and who has been bad. Also, don't forget the easter bunny.

Wonder if I could get saved from this shit, retired prison guard, lotta shit, I wish I could talk to that champ.

[@MissAstorDancer]

You can! Just open your heart and ask him in, and he will listen! You might not see oceans part or other big miracles, but Rome wasn't built in a day! Take the little miracles with gratitude, and make note of them every day. Pretty soon, they really start to add up! Then, on dark days, not only will you have practice at opening your heart, but you will have a list of blessings you can go back and review. Both practices will make you feel better!
