Ron Sexsmith "Late Bloomer"

[@jean-pierrehenrie8908]

We could say...Ron is an OASIS...love you Ron

[@tumadoireacht]

In an ocean of nil skill and dross, Sexsmith is a yacht of skill and wit and sad elegance in both writing and performance.

[@thejords]

Thats beautiful man.

[@TheKckaloha]

I want Ron to do EVERY song with only guitar and voice. Its all he needs.. Pure and raw :-)

[@BurtonBoyz715]

So perfect... simple to the point. Singer Songwriters... One guitar... One voice. Reminds me of WARREN ZEVON. PERFECT

[@timothysickel505]

May be one of the better songs I've heard in my life.

[@pclancy6248]

He's absolutely fantastic! Yes, Mr. Fitzpatrick, I agree, "...all gifts from this beautiful, unassuming man." He's just that, unassuming, and so talented. Wonderful.

[@leonardmatthaus531]

We all love Ron

[@12JAZZ]

Super. Love the way Ron plays the guitar. His song writing is a masterpiece. Ron good luck with your 12th album. xxxx

[@andrewmair7371]

Great song … effortless. Beautifully played & sung... ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@097534]

Omg!! This album is out of this world!!

[@JoUnrau]

Love his gentle mellow music. Have 2 of his albums in my music library & listen quite often. He looks like he's sensitive & hurts easy. A very special guy.

[@floyd2222]

so... time to buy some more of the 14 or so he has released?! :-)

[@davehansford7677]

He’s a great “follow” on Twitter. So funny and sharp. We saw him in Kingston Ontario and were thrilled by his performance. A songwriter’s songwriter!

[@Alsatiagent-zu1rx]

Ron is on Twitter? Who'd a thunk it?

[@AndyMacTavish76]

Love this song and even more this simple version with only Ron and guitar. :)

[@chomsky88]

People constantly talk about Ron not having a hit, but he gets to spend his life writing, performing, and recording and I'm sure having his songs covered by others(e.g. Michael Buble) keeps the money flowing in. Elivs Costello is a big fan; I'd take it. Having said that, I also think it's ridiculous he's not much better known. His lyrics are always clever and heartfelt and his melodies always extraordinarily good.

[@paulinefoote3408]

beautiful song, voice, use of base strings, rhythm and everything . THanks

[@yogicolleen]

wow, awesome. speechless. what character. and talent. more ronboy!

[@theUserdudex]

It's just a stone's throw From here to eternity From the back roads To where I long to be The world has changed Leaving only the truth intact You think it's a game To me it means more than that But I'm a late bloomer I'm a slow learner And I've turned the record over I'm a long player My song is my saviour I've got to raise it up As far as my spirit can reach That everyone might see Within earshot Of rose-coloured dreamers at best I don't mean to eavesdrop It's just part of my job I guess At one glance They don't know the truth by half How announcing your plans Is a sure way to hear god laugh Like a crab apple on the tree They'll find life more bitter than sweet But I'm a late bloomer I'm a slow learner And I've heard the penny drop I'm a small player With a tall order To come out on top And without selling my soul That everyone might know That I'm a late bloomer From a turntable to a phone From a revolution to a ring tone I'm a late bloomer I'm a slow learner And I've turned the record over I'm a long player My song is my saviour Got to raise it up I'm a late bloomer I'm a slow learner And I've heard the penny drop I'm a small player With a tall order To come out on top And without selling my soul That's how a flower grows And I'm a late bloomer I'm a late bloomer I'm a late bloomer

[@maryedwards8307]

That guitar sound. Unique. Brassy and twangy and clear

[@martinleblanc4814]

Funny how I love everything about this guy except that terrible Taylor guitar tone... Just saying.

[@okrajoe]

Another amazing performance.

[@epicdreamery9031]

Wow Ron, usually not such a fanboy of anything or anyone, but for you . . . well, your songs go to the core for me.

[@kevinharvey6591]

Great song,

[@tonifrancis7163]

Truth. The glue of every relationship. Why is it so hard for some? Late Bloomers or pathological ? Wish I knew that answer.. hard to love someone who lies even to himself.

[@whenweknewher]

Go dog, go! Have watched you "late-blooming" . . . and you do it so well!

[@NagoyaHouseHead]

Its a crime how he's not a super star ... this is a rare talent

[@jacquismith3277]

Being a superstar would spoil things, but I agree wholeheartedly that he should be better known and enjoyed. I think he's brilliant.

[@jerottarot5216]

This fucking song.... Is... Everything!!!!

[@flyerphil]

[@iminamovie]

[@turquoisedragon416]

when I heard this song, which I love, I thought "Ron must be a Capricorn", I looked it up, and so it was :D So Capricorn this song. Starting slow, but making it to the top still. Im a lete bloomer too.

[@rogerrheaheschong8550]

[@RobLeepopart]

@joikee you are in for a treat. I saw Ron in London the other day

[@HansLandaStrudelboy]

You need to come back to New York City!

[@Dianimalable]

@lillyandruben Buy the CD - you won't regret it! :-) I also somehow managed to never about him until this album... wonderful music, crazy beautiful.

[@raymondduck6492]

Does anyone else hear notes of The Hip in this... awesome song.

[@djamesv]

Come back to Victoria please!

[@MatthewTison]

[@realhothealthinthephilippi3425]

I’m a slow learner....but i came out on top....how prophetic.

[@delbertboese]

ha, great!

[@BilisNegra]

A late comer, very much like fellow canadian Leonard Cohen. Nobody knew shit about them before they were in their middle thirthies, but from then on, they signed amazingly fine stuff.

[@rebeccacroswell9474]

Agreed. Love Leonard!

[@mikecarpenter3819]

Elvis Costello must love this guy

[@garrywindshield1]

No, to this day

[@davefusa]

[@justinp38]

whoever disliked this; I dislike you
