@@kylekullin2520 Hey don't come around here no more, but Let's roll another joint And you don't know how it feels, because It's good to be king and have your own way 🤣
I don't know about hayseed, although I have hauled hay, but us people in southeast Texas and east Houston can relate to Rodney's songs. Especially Telephone Road.
First heard this in prison. A year prior, I had broken my wrist in a conveyor belt at a sawmill, small settlement came through a month after getting locked up. (Holy shit how country does my life sound!) So I bought a clear tv. Stayed on CMT waiting for this song. Always came on when I was due somewhere, but I listened first. Brilliant song. Much more meaning than seems on the surface.
Somewhere he had kind of a 'rebirth' of energy and started putting out some really good stuff. This was one of those real gems. He has done a lot of quiet, contemplative stuff, but here you have a Crowell gem where the tune is upbeat, energetic, and yet the message is in the lyrics. Pretty hard not to feel the joy in this one.
I was born in the 60's great tunes. Still here August 2024!!! Ear buds in blasting that music and locked the world outside. The 80'S and 90's were the best many great memories.
Sometimes, when people find out I am an atheist, they tell me something to the effect that, "it must be very sad believing that when you die, that's it." So, I simply quote them Mr. Crowell: "Someday I'll be leaving/But I just can't help believing that its not...to...day!!!" If they are intrigued enough to ask, I then tell them to go listen to this song, for this is my spirituality. Love this song!
Rodney comes from the HEART of Nashville Songwriting. Yeah, he was Band director for Emmylou Harris and married Johnny Cash's Daughter Rosanne, but before all that he hung out with Guy Clark, Townes Van Zandt, Steve Earl and all the Legends when he first got to town. God gave him the Gift, put him in the spot to grow, and we all get happy.....:)
@@rodneycrowell745 I traveled from Myrtle Beach to Gruen Music Hall to see you on your China berry Sideworks tour. I'm kinda sick now but hope to see you again! When I get better I want to make a doccumentary on what I call Meaningfull Music. Let me know if you Caan make time in the next few months...
YASSS!!! I just found the song I've been looking for for TEN YEARS!!!!!! I haven't heard it since I moved in Fall 2006, & have scoured the earth for a DECADE!!!! Going through old boxes, saw a cassette. Put it on & this song started playing! You have no idea how HUGE this is for me!!!!! :'D
love the beat of the drums and the rest also but without a great drum to keep beat things get wacky. I was on a flight from Nashville TN to L.A. once and he was on the same flight. I said hello Rodney he said hi back. talked briefly and told him I was also in the film/video biz. He asked what my name was I was called by, I said 'Banzai" and got that film crew name from an old Japanese lighting director once. he smiled and said I've heard that name a time or two. good guy that writes awesome words.
Love this version of Earthbound. Just saw him live for the 3rd time in as many years in Grass Valley, Ca. He's currently touring with Trey Hensley and Rob Ickes along with his band that includes Eamon McLoughlin, Dow Tomlin and Jamie Dick. Get some tix if he's coning near you. Definitely a great show. Oh, and Earthbound was 4th on the set list ;-)
I didn't know that, but now that I do it's so obviously Bela Fleck's sound. No wonder I love this song so much! I think "Sinister Minister" was the first Bela Fleck song I ever heard, had to call the radio station (PBS radio in Dallas) to find out who that marvelous artist was. Never heard anything like it before! My son loved Bela Fleck and also the "Gypsy Kings" when he was a baby. When he was fussy, I could put either one on, and he was all happy and grooving to the beat. th-cam.com/video/jndnEosYpqo/w-d-xo.html
As far as performances go, this is about as good as it gets. The melody and lyrics are brilliant. The director and editor have a superb eye for what to shoot and when to cut. Plus, watch Rodney's eye contact with the camera. Very few artists nail it like this.
Man I am grateful like this song very inspiring & what? Can be said about Rodney Crowell Love his music have for years & continue too listen and enjoy❤😂🎉Thanks for your music!😂
Did anyone else notice J.D. Souther at 4:02? What a talent. I dedicate this song to my little brother Clyde "Butchie" who just died December 7, 2009. You will be missed! and hope you don't stay Earthbound now, my gentle spirited brother!
One of the better music videos you'll see and, of course, the song speaks for itself. Great job and great visuals. Loved it. Probably my personal favorite Rodney song.
RC opened with this song on his recent show in Cincinnati and got a great reaction from the crowd. A perfect upbeat song to get everything flowing. A very good video is on TH-cam.
Singing this one in my head after seeing Rodney Crowell in a beautiful outdoor concert last night, he and his band put on a wonderful show!! My feet were on the ground but my heart was soaring. So grateful.
"one man's lust for life brings world reknown, the next guy can't get two feet off the ground. He's Earthbound" I LOVE Rodney Crowell Love his writing, playing ,singing, etc.... can't wait for him to come back to Annapolis!!
Rodney turns 70 this year. He's had a few hits himself, namely.. 1. I couldn't leave you if I tried 2. Fate's right hand 3. Earthbound 4. After All This Time 5. It's hard to kiss the lips at night that chew your ass out all day long (W/Vince Gill) As well as songs for other artists, namely 1. I ain't living long like this-Waylon Jennings 2. Leaving Louisiana in the broad daylight-The Oak Ridge Boys 3. Song for the life-Alan Jackson 4. Please Remember Me-Tim McGraw
Been awhile but this is the song that got me into RC. Great album that I always groove to when it pops up on the CD jukebox when working in the garage.
Okay, I originally thought this video was going to be about earthbound the game, it's not but I have to admit if it wasn't for the game I won't have clicked on this vid and I'm glad I did because this is a good song. I'm seeing some of the comments going after earthbound fans and fans going after non fans in vise versa, listen guys it's okay for a song to have the same name as the game and it's okay for people to like said game what is not okay to be is a dick in the comments now stop that and enjoy the song or don't either is fine.
this is LR not the person shown......RC is simply the best songwriter and singer....everyone of his songs touches my soul like no one else has.......and there are many, many writers and singers that I really like, but not like RC......here's to many, many more from RC!!
This morning I finished reading Rodney Crowell's memoir, "Chinaberry Sidewalks." This song is so perfect to listen to after reading that wonderfully moving book.
Real nice. Like all his stuff. My favorite is Still learning how to fly. Play it back to back with Tom Pettys Learning how to fly and you got yourself an epic 10 minutes. Tom Petty R.I.P.
What gets me is that when this song come out it didn't get air time on cmt.But some of the crap'no fan of socalled todays country'people go crazy for'Garth'ugg'tim mcgraw'ain't i sexy and on.Looks wins and talent takes a back seat sometimes.Like his line in the song 'some get world renownd'and others can't get 2ft off the ground.
had never heard of him,i teach line dance and earthbound happens to be a dance title with this music,well thats it,had to listen to all his other stuff,wow,and i am in france and seems that all the french dancers love him too
Wow I saw that a few years ago but finally got to understand the song and listen over. Rodney Crowell has always been#1 in my book for what it's worth I

Hope folks are still listening to Rodney...he's one of a kind❤
I am
I am
I need to listen to this song on a regular basis ❤
What about Tom Petty?
@@kylekullin2520 Hey don't come around here no more, but Let's roll another joint
And you don't know how it feels, because It's good to be king and have your own way 🤣
"I was south east Texas hayseed", that line tickles me ;)
I'm a North East Texas gal, and I've known a few of those "hayseeds", most are pretty good guys just like Rodney!
I don't know about hayseed, although I have hauled hay, but us people in southeast Texas and east Houston can relate to Rodney's songs. Especially Telephone Road.
He kinda' was. Rodney and I grew up in Jacinto City, east of Houston. In the '50s it was definitely NOT cosmopolitan.
I hope Rodney stays "Earthbound" for many more years.
One of the greatest songs ever. Nuff said.

Best song ever,absolute jem
"The Houston Kid" caught another gear. Check it out...
¹Amazing musician
One of my all time favorites. So many people don’t know what a great singer songwriter he is. Keep singing Rodney!
I was born in the 60's great tunes. Still here August 2024!!! Ear buds in blasting that music and locked the world outside. The 80'S and 90's were the best many great memories.
Crowell is a True American Poet ..One of the Most Amazing guys in Country Music ...This has to be favoritie song of all time
I Have been listening to Rodney for about 30 years.He is great.
"Each new day that passes,I'm in need of thicker glasses..........."New Age Frostian poet.
Sometimes, when people find out I am an atheist, they tell me something to the effect that, "it must be very sad believing that when you die, that's it." So, I simply quote them Mr. Crowell:

Every time life feels a bit flat and pointless I listen to this song and grin because I'm alive.
Sometimes this song has kept me happy to be alive. Other times this song has merely kept me alive.
YASSS!!!
I just found the song I've been looking for for TEN YEARS!!!!!!

Uhmmm, kudos, but you couldn't just google some of the lyrics?
you're assuming I knew any of the lyrics? You really think someone who knew the lyrics wouldn't have thought to google them?
This song is worth waiting 10 years for! Love it!
I coupdnt find this song for years as well hahaha wtf

Nice banjo work by bela fleck. Fits nice with this song. Crowell a real under appreciated talent.
I thought that was Bela
I didn't know that, but now that I do it's so obviously Bela Fleck's sound. No wonder I love this song so much!

Rodney is the best in my opinion.

A masterpiece
Simply put, this song is great
Great guy. Met him at a folk festival. Down to earth enough to have beers and bullshit with you after the show.
I haven't heard this song in Many many years and just came across it today. Today is a good day.
Man I am grateful like this song very inspiring & what? Can be said about Rodney Crowell Love his music have for years & continue too listen and enjoy❤😂🎉Thanks for your music!😂
Thanks! For the Great tune🎶❤😂🎉
Can't help playing this over and over today is this song Thank You Rodney🎉
Song once saved my life years ago
Charlie Brown,Walter Kronkite and Seamus Heaney in the same name check.Who other than the Huston Kid could pull that one off?Thank God for Rod.
switchitoff1 the last time this happened, Michael Stipe namechecked Lenny Bruce and Lester Bangs.
@@anthonym8205 yes, REMs " It's the end of the world as we know it (and I feel fine)"
He’s a living legend, his legacy will be remembered in country music
Did anyone else notice J.D. Souther at 4:02?
What a talent.
I dedicate this song to my little brother Clyde "Butchie" who just died December 7, 2009. You will be missed! and hope you don't stay Earthbound now, my gentle spirited brother!
About 1k+ want this song in a Earthbound video game movie! 54+ say other wise.
"Earthbound!"
"Big 'Ol moon sinkin' down!"
No, that'd be Majora's mask.
MrsCarmelWhitworth you made my day.
I haven’t played Majora’s Mask for months.
finaly somebody talking about nintendo
Lmfao
❤❤❤❤❤
This song has so much to say, it's almost overwhelming. One of our great American writers.
This is like my all-time favorite album. it seems this just flew under the radar when released.....how in the Hell did that happen!!!!!!
roy KNOWLTON because it's infinitely better than 99% of contemporary music
Nashville suits....
THIS ISN'T THE KIND OF EARTHBOUND I CAME HERE FOR.
One of the better music videos you'll see and, of course, the song speaks for itself. Great job and great visuals. Loved it. Probably my personal favorite Rodney song.

Love Rodney Crowell! For some reason he reminds me of Paul McCartney?
こんなにいい曲なのに何で人気ないんだろ……不思議でしょうがないんだが
Such a sweet sounding banjo!
Wonderful Song ! Love it ! Amazing Lyrics ! You sing it beautifully, a classic recording ! Thank you so much for sharing ! 5*****+

Still listening to this in 2020❣️

This was the first song I ever heard sung by Rodney Crowell and it has always stuck with me.
mother 2
This song made Rodney one of the few artists that had at least one charting hit in four consecutive decades.
never heard this fella before (alright I'm OLD ! ) but DAMN he is GOOD !! :)
He has been around a LONG time too
He's been around since like the late 70's
Rodney turns 70 this year. He's had a few hits himself, namely..
1. I couldn't leave you if I tried
2. Fate's right hand
3. Earthbound
4. After All This Time
5. It's hard to kiss the lips at night that chew your ass out all day long (W/Vince Gill)

This song is really special to me. It came out when I first got home from the army and I'm Scottish Irish Spanish and was dating a guy from Texas
This guy can really sing, and with Bella Fleck on the Banjo, how cool is that?

What a great song, by a very talented man. Looks like they were having a nice dinner party! And Rodney's wife is a lucky woman.😊💒
This morning I finished reading Rodney Crowell's memoir, "Chinaberry Sidewalks." This song is so perfect to listen to after reading that wonderfully moving book.

Ken Curry Dang right, also throw in Runnin Down a Dream! Miss you Tom Petty!!
Great song! The mention of Mary Karr in song is awesome!
The great Rodney Crowell...one of his best I think, and for once (or twice), the video enhances the song rather than detracts.
Who says the banjo can't be used with taste and subtlety? ;-)
Will always ❤️ this song, great beat.
What a great song!!!!! And a great man!!!!!!
Good good good singer 👩🎤
What a talented man. And the lyrics are so clear we don't have to look them up to get the story.
What gets me is that when this song come out it didn't get air time on cmt.But some of the crap'no fan of socalled todays country'people go crazy for'Garth'ugg'tim mcgraw'ain't i sexy and on.Looks wins and talent takes a back seat sometimes.Like his line in the song 'some get world renownd'and others can't get 2ft off the ground.
