I remember the day this was wrote. 09/09/1997. It was for my father. He passed on 09/06/1997. Him and Steve were great friends for a long time. This is one of the hardest songs I have ever sung on. Was in the choir at the end, and that part they did in one take. Everyone was there. Was really cool. I was 17, and getting ready for life.
If someone thinks enough of a person to write a song for them, they were definitely LOVED! I pray for your comfort, I know how it feels. Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, tell the ones you love the most what they mean to you, one day they will understand.
I have a cheap hobby of buying DVD's in thrift shops of old movies I have usually never heard of. I was drawn to "You Can Count on Me" when I saw that Laura Linney and Mark Ruffalo were in the movie. I thoroughly enjoyed it for the story, acting AND music. I made note of "Pilgrim" and came here to listen again. Best $2 I've ever spent!
I remember listening to this guy in Canada in the late 80s and he was good. Basically I’m in my mid 50’s and through life and my experiences I can totally relate to him. X
I only discovered this song a few days ago and can't get enough, It reminds me of my dad and now I have boys he never met and I think about my boys and my dad every time I play it. Not sure why he wrote it but for me it's very personal, family and the inevitable parting of ways through death.
Yeah, similar story. I've played old Steve Earle stuff for years, recently discovered this and it blows me away. Reached an age where I think about the people gone, and the ones I have to care for still.
Hoy. 11 de junio cumpliría años mi hermana fallecida alos 19 años yo para entonces tenia 9 años la recuerdo como si fuera ayer hoy 11 - 6 - 2022 no logro olvidar y este tema me acompaña el momento de dolor ojala Dios me ayude a superar 🙏🙏🙏😫😭😫
The credits have Eric Clapton and Simon Climie as the writers. Where did you get that idea? Steve wrote this backstage waiting to sing at Roy Husky Jr.'s memorial service. Credit where credit is due!
Actually it was in the car on the way. There was no back area in the funeral home my father was in. Just a side area we sat in. But you are very right. I remember him walking up to my mother and gave her a quick run, and she said Roy would love it. My father passed on 09/06/1997, and 09/09/1997 this song was written by Steve. I got the chance to sing on that choir in the last bit, was a memorable experience.
Truly one of the greatest songs ever written. If this song doesn’t melt your heart you don’t have one.

From one of my favorite all time albums. Every song a gem.
Brings a tear, every time. Weary and uplifting, at the same time. One of those treasures that life hands you from outta nowhere. Beautiful.
Soothing song for these times...timeless music, words. Thank you.
What a beautiful song!
Just heard this song for the first time. Played it again and I'm bawling like a baby. I have no idea why this is affecting me so. I love this song 🙏❤❤
this haunting song breaks your heart...beautiful and true...
Just heard this song for the very first time today 2/19/22 as the closing song in the movie "You Can Count On Me".
LOVE it!
Sublime!!
Same.. Coming right from that movie.. Just watched it few minutes ago.
Beautiful bluegrass number. I hope we all meet there someday.
So purely delightful, melts my heart. Feels as good as this sounds. Like a forever gift. 💝💞
First heard at a friends funeral - and I shall have it played at mine ❤
I remember listening to this guy in Canada in the late 80s and he was good. Basically I’m in my mid 50’s and through life and my experiences I can totally relate to him. X
I want it to b played at my funeral..
I'm a 19 year old boy.. But i always love these songs man.. Coming straight here from the movie U CAN COUNT ON ME. 🇮🇳
I heard this for the first time on a dive boat in West Palm Beach. It holds great meaning. Now I'm listening in the Mojave Desert.
I want this version of Pilgrim played at my funeral--but not too soon.
Very Good! 🎈🎼💙💛
Emmylou Harris is the finest singing partner in the music world.
Not Emmylou on this song according to the music cd I have.
Emmylou is a great singer but the singer is Iris D
just perfection.
Thanks. I played this when we spread my Mom’s ashes. I was looking for a nice version. Nothing like the original.
Who could thumbs down this lovely song??
thank you for posting this
I just heard this song for the first time at my brothers funeral. Such a beautiful song that will out live us all. 8/14/24

Miss you Daddy rest
Great son... it has heart and soul...
From 'You can count on me'.
GREAT film! Laura Linney is one fantastic actress!! :)
that ending
Just saw the film and heard this beautiful song . Loved the movie and this wonderful song.
I was lucky to see Del’s band live in Anchorage. What a talented band and I think they were all his sons.

This was played at my brothers funeral. Wasn't a dry eye in the congregation
@@jackiegriffin255 I could imagine, sorry for your loss. He is in Gods memory. Revelations 21:4.

@@dayrcrayz thankyou
It’s the closing song for a bittersweet and terrific film: *You Can Count On Me* with Mark Ruffalo and Laura Linney.
7 downthumbers never to be a PILGRIM

Thanks for the info. I didn't know. I just found the video here on YT and uploaded it to my channel. Because I love the song. That's all.
@@bosse641 It is a great song. Thanks. I love it too. Funny though as this is about as far from Eric Clapton as one can get!
Don't know Roy but Steve wud b honored your seeing that the credit goes where it's due!
EC and SC wrote a song with the same title in 1998
Actually it was in the car on the way. There was no back area in the funeral home my father was in. Just a side area we sat in. But you are very right.
