[@DavidBrooks-f8p]

Just lost my wife of 35 years and Townes is helping me through. Wish he was still around cuz he was REAL!!!

[@theScrupulousBerserker]

God bless & may her soul rest in peace 🙏

[@Celtichag33]

She just went on ahead to wait for you! ❤

[@NeilEnvySA]

Lost my Wife in 2021. She was only 30 Years old. Now I'm raising our Son and Daughter alone. Townes also helps me through. May God Bless You and give You Strength. Neil Viljoen. South Africa ❤

[@NeilEnvySA]

I Lost my Wife about 3 years ago. She was just 30 years old. Now I'm Raising Our two Children by myself ❤ may God Bless You and Guide You through this Difficult time. I will Include You in my Prayers. Stay Strong. NV. South Africa.

[@HappySunshineDay]

I'm so sorry for your loss. In my experience, grief comes in waves. Over time, they are further apart and not as devastating. Then out of the blue, you'll get a tsunami. Take gentle care of yourself and family. There ain't no rushin' this.

[@danstune]

This is incredible. He reminds me of how unselfish my wife is in caring for me as a medically fragile guy. Thank you!

Uncs from the 40’s when they needed to make the most beautifully simple song known to humankind (its always peak)

[@joeglass3905]

Just never gets old....

[@martinboersma763]

It’s hard to put in words , but I feel for the people who can not appreciate a melody like this ❤️😎

[@haydenpettit5829]

My favourite version of this song, Townes had a beautifully soft sorrowful voice. Absolutely stunning.

[@GenteelCretin]

Really? I still prefer the simplicity of the Live at the Old Quarter version. Plus I like the way he announces that Loop and Lil were parakeets-as if the song's single ambiguity made any difference to its plainspoken clarity. Either way, either version, it's a flawless song.

[@Shambles99]

Nah. This version. Album version. Recorded version

[@santuray912]

Best version of this song

[@Anna-loves-you]

Sweet Townes, always the best

[@frankburton320]

Wonderful. Just Wonderful. Thanks for This Gorgeous Upload,and for keeping Townes's music alive. Rest in peace Townes. You were a legend and didn't know it Regards Frank

[@reiniermuntjewerff874]

This music is really comforting me. As if Townes is beside me and sings for me...

[@clinchknot2761]

This song gets me every time.

[@PATRICIAANNPAULK1945]

He truly was a very gifted musician and this is a favorite♥️❣️

[@theScrupulousBerserker]

RIP Townes Van Zandt 🙏

[@iyimemeler]

timeless

[@VintageSoul]

Even amidst the revelry's hazy embrace, a singular song would weave itself into his dreams, its every note and syllable imprinted upon his mind with an inexplicable precision.

[@mathmusic1490]

Such beautiful sentiments and sensitivity expressed in music and lyrics. I would not have a decent life without songwriters and singers like Townes....................RIP, Mr. Van Zandt............

[@johnniebentley2591]

[@eduardoantunes3339]

Grande trovador

[@eduardoantunes3339]

Infelizmente em Portugal dão pouca importância a este excelente cantor e compositor

[@reginamoro4269]

Carries me back and i can't bear it.

[@satnams3ssv]

Here after Boy Swallows Universe 🙌

[@taniajosefa]

Townes Van Zandt composed this song in his sleep, performed it in a dream, woke up, wrote down the lyrics, went back to sleep and played it when he got up in the morning.

[@jeannekesavelkouls2547]

Indeed, I heard that too, the White Horse Guitarclub(Cork, Ireland) covers this song ❤

[@markkatich7741]

Why don’t they make a movie of this guys life? 2:00

[@leonardcrites]

LUKE and LIL agree

[@dreamsicleblues]

[@SteveSmith-hh2ni]

Is this dude any relation to the Lynnyrd Skynnyrd Van Zandts?

[@Shambles99]

No

[@beaulyons1977]

C.L.Y.L. 🤓

[@doug7000]

Good friend of thirty years to whom I have sacrificed both time and treasure has just used this song to guilt me into moving 300 miles to his town to become his elder caregiver. Nothing against the song, I guess, but I never want to hear it again.

[@JackBarrett7]

Its a shame, but David Allan Coe stole this, gave it a new name and Tanya Tucker had a #1 with 'his' song.

New Year 2024 A Prayer For Peace Love And Reconciliation Dear Shawn Colvin I know that I know that I love You and I 'know' that You 'know' so how can I give up when You said Yourself I can't go back to black with all this blessed light showing the way imploring 'Us' to fight for love every day well I fight for 'Us' 'We' both fight for what's true I write poems for You I pour out my heart I cry and I sing I tell You every part I give You everything only You and only Me climbing in the right direction toward grace and eternity objects of each others' affection what blessings will this new year bring hope for peace hope for love angels begging 'Us' together to sing to carry hope from above and a balm for weary souls bound together as one burning in a passion rapt fused forever like the sun one flaming heart bound for eternity let's walk let's start this cosmic journey today in twenty twenty four let's make a stand let's stand for love and reconciliation let's obey hope's command love one another sing for peace sing for grace occupy a holy place here in 'Our' soul where I've loved You forever as 'We' near 'Our' goal home to heaven together let's sing for hope let's sing for freedom to the stars let's elope let's use this wisdom to enlighten 'Our' mind as 'We' walk heaven's beaches amazed at what 'We' find grateful for all love teaches won't You smile upon me today my darling soul won't You listen as I pray that 'We' will be made whole yin and yang yang and yin one soul reunited this year let's begin to heal old wounds forgive and forget learn from 'Our' mistakes rejoice in 'Our' lucky breaks what will this new year bring a smile to Your Goddess face a song to Your lovely lips to which my aching heart skips a beat in Your inspired melody gets lost in Your tranquility catches up on the refrain and releases all the pain of waiting end My darling beautiful immortal soul Shawn Colvin. You inspire me to try. You teach me to cry and I do whenever I think that You might have a place for me somewhere in this cosmic tapestry that You wove in Your well-lit place in the sky. Centuries ago You wrote this script that resonates with me. I'm mesmerized by Your beauty grace courage wisdom and voice so I ask again my darling will You take me to France? Will You save the last dance for me? I'll take lessons willingly but in any case, Shawn, please remember me fondly as You can. Please 'know' that I love You forever no matter what happens but I pray that maybe this year we'll talk as seer to seer both 'seeing' that this love I feel for You is 'real' and eternal. I love You now as always and always will. May God bless You this year Shawn Colvin with inspiration for Your lovely mind. May Your spirit be lifted and may You sing as heaven intended. Meanwhile I'll watch the stars for any sign and You'll be the first to 'know' if 'We' are to be blessed but I 'know' that You already 'know' so I must pray to You again. Please be kind. You never know what You may find in a heart that skips a beat but catches up to You in time to 'know' true love. All my affection trust and faith is with You this year Shawn and if I don't get to see You go in peace grace and love as You always have and always will. You always have been a beacon to my soul so please don't be angry because I followed it home to You. Quantum kisses forever for You from everywhere Michelle Colvin btw: There is a thousand times more synchronicity in 'Our' story than in this movie and that's a fact. Quantum Kisses Forever for You from Everywhere Michelle Colvin
