John Prine, Blaze Foley and Townes Van Zandt Meet in One Song

Post-Covid, life shifted dramatically. Though we once united, now we've drifted apart. Selfishness prevails, cities transform, and technology reigns, yet I yearn for simplicity. Amidst the allure of progress, I find solace in the small joys we've lost. That's why I penned this song, longing for the simple life amidst a complex world.

Lyrics Want to raise my kids in the country side Riding horses in the muddy ground Crossing borders moving round and round Wifey will get pregnant in Narrow roads in the mountains In the fields of sheep and chicken. Finding treasures and minding gold Finding stories we've not been told Escaping the world that's been ruled Let's get sick and have no medicine Surviving without vaccines Going back to when we were Sixteen Chorus: I want to go To places I've never been before With my kids and wife and live the life Chasing the wind blow I want to write songs Country and blues about trees and roses Simple lyrics guitar and rhythm And sing all day long In winter we'll have little snow In spring the hard wind will blow In summer all the troubles will go Swim in rivers and go on hikes Swim in lakes and ride our bikes Same life my mother likes Chorus: I want to go To places I've never been before With my kids and wife and live the life Chasing the wind blow I want to write songs Country and blues about trees and roses Simple lyrics guitar and rhythm And sing all day long.

Fraud should not be rewarded. You're no Townes, Blaze or Prine.

Great writing, singing, music, setting! Loved it very much! John Prine and Townes Van Zandt influences are clearly there, so much so that I cried hearing this!! I was looking forward to seeing John Prine at his next performance but he passed away! I do much loved his music and just listening to him talk! Please continue your songs and music in that direction! Thank you for this song today!! ❤❤❤

We all miss him so much. He will always stay in our hearts. Such a legend that music lost. Thank you so much for the nice words. I will do my best to keep making music that’s honest and resonates. ❤️🙏🏼

People don’t make this type of music anymore. Just want to be born around 60s or 70s . Life was much simpler and Music was serious. Hard to find artists like Paul Simon, Bob Dylan, Jim Croce anymore .

You said _"People don’t make this type of music anymore."_ This is untrue. But now, unlike in the 60s and 70s, you did not need to go looking for it. Try my pages, just for starters. You may find something of interest there.

[@paradisepipeco]

The video is fine, as is the tune, but the title is intentionally misleading dropping the names of famous songwriters obviously to unfairly attract clicks. Bait and switch CLICKBAIT.

[@paradisepipeco]

@@SalahZhouri I am pleasantly surprised you replied with courtesy, and did not delete my comment. On the other hand, it is highly disappointing you have chosen to defend your dishonesty. You are a good enough player and old enough to know better. I am a pro player, and you cast shade on our craft with this action. None of the songwriters you mentioned are alive to admonish you for doing this, which by the way is not only immoral, but illegal as well. And it should be. I respect your work and this action is far beneath your dignity, my misguided young brother. Check my work for my credentials. Heed what I say, Young Jedi. You insult your own work in this manner, and it is unnecessary. You are a fine player and an artist in your own right. Again, check my own work, man. It may add credibility to my words here; offered with respect and love, from a brother-in-arms, and an elder. Ethics matter. Unlike you, I am not in the business of marketing. And if I were, I would do it honestly. You have made a mistake here, my friend. I hope you wake up and correct your course appropriately. Your work is far better than your defense of this ruse. Thank you for your reply, and your courtesy. I hope you take a look at my pages, comprised of mostly old-school originals and consider what I have said here. _(I began recording and performing in my teens in Hollywood in the late sixties.)_ You do not require deception to sell your work, my friend. Doing as you have speaks loudly that you think you do. I do not think you believe that, do you? I don't. Your work can easily stand upon its own merits, if you will allow it to do so. And this applies to your name-dropping hashtags as well. Many of the people you are trying to reach with your music will find this offensive, *_ESPECIALLY_* fans of the artists you named; as well they should. Comparing your own work to that of those mentioned in this video title displays not only extreme myopic hubristic narcissism, but an unwillingness to accept their greatness which you have not achieved, making your own work look smaller than it is by comparison. In essence, you have insulted and diminished your own work, which you are trying far too hard to promote, rather than allowing it to develop its own legs. You can try, but what you are doing here is not honest nor ethical, no matter how hard you try to pretend it is not. You not only disrespect yourself and your work, but you insult the memory and the spectacular work of those to whom you falsely claim to pay tribute. You cannot hide from this truth, my friend. This is not merely my opinion. It is reality. The world is already filled with charlatans and does not need one more; but that does not include Prine, Foley, or Van Zandt. It has been said that all it takes to make a true song of worth is three chords and the truth. The operative word here is TRUTH. Namaste. *_"When the wise man points at the moon, the fool stares at his finger."_* ~~ Mokèlé Mbèmbé _(For further study, please refer to my "Top 40 from the Back 40" playlist. It isn't what you think.)_ 🙊🙉🙈

@@susangooch7087 I especially appreciate the good word. You may _(or may not)_ be aware of the AI filtering algorithm that prevents many comments from appearing on these pages; or limits their visibility to the user who posted. Above the comment section, and below the video screen there is an option labelled "Sort by" with three horizontal lines just to the left. That is how it appears on a full computer screen. If this option does not appear on a smaller screen of a phone or mobile device, it can still be accessed, but I cannot assist in that regard. At any rate, if you click "Newest first", many hidden comments will appear on the page, INCLUDING my comment above on this thread in response to the visible brief courteous reply to my top post by *@SalahZhouri.* I am confident you will find this of interest. If you do so but you have difficulty getting my second comment to appear, let me know, as there is another way to facilitate this. Also, you may want to check my pages as well. I have a personal vested interest in this issue.

Yes, Ma'am. I support the meaning of "FJB" and MAGA. But not like you; apparently, I disapproved of Friday's wing shot almost assassinating Donald Trump. Or would you have preferred something a little further in? BTW: How's your Mandarin? And do you know the meaning of "projection?"
