“I Remember Everything” by John Prine
I’ve been down this road before
I remember every tree
Every single blade of grass
Holds a special place for me
And I remember every town
And every hotel room
And every song I ever sang
On a guitar out of tune
I remember everything
Things I can’t forget
The way you turned and smiled on me
On the night that we first met
And I remember every night
Your ocean eyes of blue
How I miss you in the morning light
Like roses miss the dew
I’ve been down this road before
Alone as I can be
Careful not to let my past
Go sneaking up on me
Got no future in my happiness
Though regrets are very few
Sometimes a little tenderness
Was the best that I could do
I remember everything
Things I can’t forget
Swimming pools of butterflies
That slipped right through the net
And I remember every night
Your ocean eyes of blue
How I miss you in the morning light
Like roses miss the dew
How I miss you in the morning light
Like roses miss the dew
Singer. Songwriter. Poet. Icon.
John Prine was an artist’s artist with a list of admirers and collaborators that cut across musical genres and generations - names like Kris Kristofferson, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Bonnie Raitt, Johnny Cash, Tom Petty, Brandi Carlile, George Strait, Kurt Vile, Miranda Lambert, The Everly Brothers, Emmylou Harris, among others.
Though he was born in Maywood, Illinois, in 1946, John declared himself “pure Kentuckian” throughout his life. His parents, Willian and Verna, were natives of Paradise, Kentucky. The family would spend summers there in Muhlenberg County, where John listened to bluegrass music and studied the guitar styles of country music heroes Doc Watson and Merle Travis with his older brother, Dave.
In Maywood, he worked as a postman before being drafted into the army in 1966. It was as a postman that John began to write the songs that would connect with so many. He sang at Chicago folk clubs, where he was introduced to singer-songwriter Kris Kristopherson, who invited John to open for him in New York. It was there that Jerry Wexler, president of Atlantic Records, first heard Prine and offered him a recording contract. His self-titled debut album was released in 1971 and featured a list of songs now regarded as classics, including “Paradise,” “Angel From Montgomery,” “Illegal Smile,” Hello in There,” and “Sam Stone.” Prine received the first of his 13 Grammy nominations in 1972 for Best New Artist. He would record three more albums for Atlantic and another three with Asylum.
His profound impact on American music was amplified in 1981 when John co-founded Oh Boy Records, and independent label where he released most of his subsequent work and which gave voice and respect to so many fellow singers and songwriters.
In his distinguished career, John won four Grammys and the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award (2020). He was a three-time recipient of the Artist of the Year Award at the Americana Music Honors & Awards, which also honored him with the Lifetime Achievement Award for Songwriting. He won the Pen/New England Song Lyrics of Literary Excellence Award (2016) and was enshrined in the Songwriters Hall of Fame (2019). In addition, John was named Honorary Poet Laureate of Illinois (2020).
John Prine passed away on April 7, 2020 due to complications from Covid-19. The outpouring of grief and love from his fan community was staggering. Over 500,000 viewers participated in an online memorial and tribute that raised more than half a million dollars for Covid-related community causes. In 2021, the Prine family created the Hello In There Foundation to honor John’s spirit of generosity towards those in need. Fiona Prine and her sons continue to operate and expand the reach of John’s independent record label, Oh Boy Records.

The best friend I ever had that never knew me.
His music would say he knew you.
Beautiful Lyrics and Sincerely sung
Brought Tears to my eyes .
yeah, same here, all the way back to 1971 or 72 whenever it was.I used to think he had been sneaking and reading my mail, getting info from people who knew me intimately, listening to me carry on through the thin walls of my old Baltimore apartment. Nobody told our stories the way he did....nobody made a beautiful futile sense of it all the way he did. John passed on just two weeks after I buried my mom, who at the age of 95 realized it was time to get out of here. Just in time for this goddam virus. I am blessed to have loved both of them.
He sure brought me through some really difficult times, but then we danced the night away. Only it was all in my mind. I did get to see him in 2012. Great show.
That's it exactly, mark
And here I thought I was done crying over JP being gone. Guess not.
That will take some time.
Nah. You're not through yet. Christmas will come around and you'll put on the Christmas album and hear:
There's a room out there somewhere
With a woman in a chair
With memories of childhood
Still lingering there
How pretty the paper, the lights and the snow
How precious those memories of long long ago.
We held hands and stared
At the lights on the tree
As if Christmas was invented
Just for you and me
When the angel on the treetop, requested a song
We sang Silent Night, all day long.
_______________________________________________
Damn. I was already melancholy and I read your comment and now I can't turn the water off. Seriously, I just lost it. We need John now more than ever.
You’re not alone.
Me too.
Twenty two years ago I took my oldest daughter to her first John Prine concert. I had sung her to sleep over the years with "Blue Umbrella" and she brought a blue umbrella to the show. We sat near the front and early in the show John saw her and nodded. Late in the show he sang "Blue Umbrella" to her. "Many years later," I took my youngest daughter to her first John Prine concert. She had been sung to sleep with "One Red Rose," and she took a red rose to the concert. Once again we sat toward the front, and John noticed her and nodded. Late in the concert he sang "One Red Rose." So this man that I already loved so much performed this enormous act of kindness towards my two daughters. I miss him so much, it is hard getting used to living in a world without John Prine in it.
wow
Beautiful story. Thanks
❤❤❤
That's awesome! Thank you for sharing those stories. 🙂
Wonderful parent. Respect.
I am 73 and I like you "remember everything " my children can't believe my memories that are so clear, ---- miss you John Prine
I am the same age and my memories are so vivid!
Years ago i took my wife and kids from Boston to the Beacon theater in nyc to see John , my god what an experience that was ! We saw an audience so enthralled by this man, and who hung on his every word and showed the utmost respect for a performer i have ever seen . Time has past, kids have grown, but my love for this sage of a man has not diminished. . God Bless Jim
Two kinds of people in the world. Those who've never heard of John Prine, and those who love him.
Spot on...!! John Prine.....RIP
Both described me
Willie Nelson...on Linda Ronstadt...i believe.
🙂
@@spanishpeaches2930 J.D. Souther said something along those lines about Ronstadt.
A dear friend of mine sent me this video once. Although he and I were years apart, we shared a love for John Prine. Max passed away this morning. Rest easy friend.
🕯
Rest Easy MAX-
Your buddy was definitely a good dude if he liked Prine.
@@kylehajek3037 he certainly was. Thank you for taking the time say so
If John could have picked his last recorded song I think this would have been his choice. A love song to his family and friends... and hopefully to his fans a bit. John, you will be forever missed and forever loved by all your grateful fans.
When I heard this song this morning, it pierced my heart. What an awesome farewell as only JP could have said it. What you said T Bush is right on target!
What a beautiful comment.
Miss you to.
When I Get to Heaven?
@@bloomz1 "When I Get To Heaven" is the very last song, on his very last album, so it holds its' own unique distinction, as well.
God when he looked into the camera at the end. I just sobbed. Miss ya John
I listen to this sing when I have trouble sleeping. There's nothing like it.
There aren't many people who can make me cry. But this guy, he reaches a depth inside of me that I can't really explain.
His lyrics alone are among the finest poetry ever written. But when he sings them it is an emotional event. I miss you John.
Some people just have that seemingly direct line to your heart
I relate to each remark. Here we had the most amazing personality in a musician of all the world, then bam, lightening struck just a few short years after getting first turned on to him.
I agree with you Skip!
Yes he does
Lost my man..4 days before mr prine..
This song will be at my mans wake..of 29 years...ocean eyes of blue...I. remember everything.thank you for the words..I didn't have.....
The world became so much quieter the day John Prine went to sing with the Angels. I feel blessed and lucky to have lived in a time to enjoy the beautiful music he shared. John Prine made the world a better place. Thank you John Prine! Rest easy. 👏💕🎶😭
Amen to that Linda! He's sing'in to the angels now.
@@stevenrichards8880
I concur Steven, together with Steve Goodman.
I couldn't have said it better!
God bless John Prine and his family!
Linda beautifully said ❤️
Well, I'm in awe of You rt now because I'd JUST told my friend that I miss John Prine being in this world and I'm so sad thinking of all the beauty the world will never know because John's no longer here. I read him your comment because you stated so beautifully how I feel. Thank you 💕🎶
This man is easily one of the deepest, most unaffected poets in modern history. His music is beautiful yet stark, his melodies are haunting and his lyrics alternately reach, crush and restore a soul. This man is to be revered if not for his music, then for the breadth of his soul, at the very least. Please appreciate the depth of this art. Your soul will be enriched.
I do and it has been. ❤❤
John Prine finished his career as strong as he started. The only bad thing about a John Prine performance is that it ends. Simply the best .
Love this! Isn't it amazing that he can have written and performed so many incredible songs.
for me,
he don't end
I miss you so, John. I don't have the words, but thank you, brother. See you in a bit. Save me a seat!
We miss John Prine, "like the roses miss the dew." Lovely last song.
We cry because we miss him.
We smile because we knew him.
All our lives have been enriched because of John and his music.
We thank you and love you John.
See you on the other side.
At my first Vietnam Vet rap group we all had to introduce ourselves.First names only. I decided to use a first and last name,when it was my turn. I just said "John Stone" Every Vet in the group looked up,smiled and nodded . We all knew what that song meant to us.His music has never left me from the first time I heard that haunting song right up to this day. So at 72 years old I sat around tonight watched the tribute and cried like a new born and laughed like tickled 5 year old.
Thanks Brother
You always had my six
;)
Thank you for your service, Sir ❤
Sam Stone
🍻
bless you John Stone.
This has me crying, every time. 😢💔
thank you John Prine
His last song, and one of his best. Great ending, sir.
Sweet songs never last too long on broken radios
Aint it funny how an old broken bottle... looks just like a diamond ring...
Though she still laughs with me, she waits just a second too long.
Rest in peace John, Not rock n" roll, not blues, not jazz, just American folk songs. Bless you in the heavenlies!
Tears in my eyes still 😢💔
Talk abour a masterpiece.
I've never heard this song until it was just now performed on the Grammys in memorandum. My gosh this song is so beautiful and I'm sorry for the loss of this man with his beautiful words.
i only heard it once or twice before the Grammys, it just floors me! I cant get it out of my head, since the other night. It makes me tear up,but in a good way!
Same here! Never heard of the artist or song before the grammys. From here on in I will always cherish this song! So beautiful, it brought tears to my eyes! 💖💖💖
@Lyle Johnston that's not nice. It was she singing this beautiful song that led me here.
@Lyle Johnston I find them each beautiful in their own way. I'm sorry you cannot.
@@dr0463 Perhaps you should also listen to "The wind blows wild " by Kate Wolf
Touched by heart. I’m remembering you tonight John and offering prayers for Fiona
Excruciatingly beautiful. I’ll remember you.
Your description is perfect. I am typing through the tears.
Like Roses miss the dew..... Best line ever. miss you John. Wish I had discovered you sooner. Much sooner.
So beautiful. R*I*P
John Prine is the common man's hero if there ever was one.
This song just hit #1 on Billboard. His first #1. RIP JP.
Listened to this guy more than half my 68 years, sad that he’s gone but, he’ll be here forever.
My dad took me to see him in Omaha,on his last tour he was so funny so underrated
word of knowledge ☝...
Deeply missed.
thankyou John Prine
This guy was just one great songwriter, one of the very best.
Memories that can't be bought. Or ever forgotten. Thank you John. For everything.
"boughten"
if i have heard a more beautiful song i don't remember it. a 68 year man close to tears.
This 66 year old is crying right now, sometimes John hits to close
Miss him so much!
Thanks for everything John, rest in peace
Jesus. Did not plan to ball my eyes out on this Thursday night.
I didn't plan on cryin' my eyes out Saturday mornin'. Sure do miss him.
My first time hearing this man.
Such a kind and rich voice.
Be careful listening to more of his music, it will change you life.
It absolutely will. Love JP❤
"Sometimes a little tenderness was the best that I could do." YES. We miss you, JP.
Been listening since I was a kid. Thank you.
Miss him so much !
Joyful happy tears !
So grateful for
Gods creations.
We recently had a still born baby, which has been devastating and this song really gets me. I have played it over and over.
I am so sorry. I lost my baby to still birth in 1985. You do learn to carry it.
I'm so sorry for your losses, Bradley and Michele. I'm glad this song gives you comfort, Bradley.
A couple of years ago our daughter had a still born baby girl, full term. Our daughter and husband have been blessed with another little girl. I pray that you all will overcome this heartbreak and be blessed with other children.
My father passed away last year. This song came on randomly when I was driving home from his funeral. I had never heard it before but it was perfect. I'm so grateful for John's music. Truly a legend. My heart goes out to his family who also lost him last year. He will live forever in song and memory.
My dad pasted in 2013 and I feel the same way
My mother in law just passed away and the same thing happened to us, it came on the radio as we were driving back home. We had instant tears rolling down our face 💔💔 I think it was her way of talking to us 😥
OMG, you must have balled your eyes out. Such a lovely song.
It's a beautiful morning in Maine and I'm crying my eyes out listening to this song. I'm here because my sister in law is slowly but surely losing her battle with cancer. This song keeps popping up in my head because it says exactly what I would feel like if I lost my love too early in life. But every time I try to sing it my eyes water and my nose starts running. Must be the pollen. Thank you John for writing this song. If it had to be your last you left us a gem.
Maybe your Dad wanted you to hear this song.
I have so many 'favourite' JP songs!!!
Great entertainment john prine r.i.p.thank you for your time and songs 😊😊😊😊😊
I lost my dad 15 years ago, when we all lost John I felt like I lost a little more of my connection with my dad. I always wondered how much he would have enjoyed John's newer songs. Missing both of them right now.
I remember everything things ...things I cant forget.
What a great line.
The last 2 hours watching Picture Show was both the happiest and the saddest times since the pandemic. That's truly John Prine at his best. RIP MY FRIEND and my prayers are with the Prine family. He is, and will be forever missed and in my heart❤🌈
I forgot I missed it how do I find it
@@carlapotts9543 th-cam.com/video/jv05dPfmx40/w-d-xo.html
This is a lovely easy kinda song. A message for us, from him, going to great beyond. Rest well, brother friend!
It's easy to harmonize with, too! Thanks, John Prine.
I miss you John your songs mean so much to me you will always live in with me and mine
Love you to the moon and back, rest easy john❣💔❣
John made the ordinary world of ordinary people living ordinary lives extraordinary in beauty, compassion and kindness. Those who run the world need to listen. Thank you John, you're were special.
A national treasure, we need more people like John and Fiona in the world today. His songwriting was masterful, imagination like no other and happy and generous. Thx to Fiona and her boys and all the musicians who made tonight’s show one of the highlights of the past few months. Tears and smiles and great memories. All the best to Fiona, see you on the other side a John. So glad John got the recognition he always deserved the last couple of years. ✌🏻
Such a gentle soul and musical genius. Miss you John❤️❤️❤️❤️
Goin' down the road without him.....thank you John for all your music through the years!! I miss you! Like roses miss the dew!
We miss John Prine like the roses miss the dew.
Thank you so much to all who have shared personal stories about their singing idol, or best friend they never knew. My wife and I heard John in concert with Iris Dement at the Ryman a few years ago. He sang all the duets he had recorded with her, and some that she stood in for others. After John had sung for nearly three hours without a break, he shouted out to the crowd, "Have ya'll had enough?" And the place went wild. After that, he said the same thing about every twenty minutes, and the crowd kept getting louder and louder every time he would say that. He finally ended the concert after four hours of performing non-stop. It was a remarkable feat that I will never forget. And I know what it takes to perform for three hours even with breaks.
I have listen to John music for 30 years he made me laugh he made me cry i will truly miss him.
After listening to this song a few more times, I believe I appreciate the tone of John’s “mature” voice even more❣️
All your fans will always remember you John. R.I.P. Gerry Farry 🙏🙏🙏🙏🎤
soul and genius with a touch childhood just to make sure you know it's me.. john. I miss you also
Coronavirus stole his genius from us. RIP John Prine. American treasure.
Now the monsters are trying to steal his legacy to bury it.
We miss you John Prine ………” like the roses miss the dew “
This is just beautiful. He knew.
Let’s add Grammy winner for this beautiful song. Thank you Mr. Prine...R.I.P. 🕊 March 2021
How does a man make me cry and laugh in the same song? The world will miss you John Prine. God knows I will.
So damn heartbreaking to think of all the songs that he had left in his brain that we will never know,
I miss him and his talent every day,
John sat with me in my dump hotel room while I recorded my song set with him and Joni as my only audience..I know what heaven is..been there...when he Sings he remembers every hotel room..I am there again..John nodding "next' with a smile that motivates me to this day... I turned those tunes into a career..love is to small a word for me ...for you....JP.
On this dark, rainy Christmas Eve, as I face the reality that I am getting old, and I think of my father's last hours that I shared with him not so long ago... I can't get this song out of my head.
Was a fan of John Prine from sometime in the early '70s, until he left us. Spent a few nights in small venues with him. I remember a lot.
Thank you, John, and please give my regards to The Big Man, as I know you have his ear. See ya soon.
He saw life through open eyes never miss the truth
Oh John. You left us with so much, more than we could ever imagine. You painted that masterpiece right till it was time to go, thanks for not stopping.
Didn’t wanna cry today, but gosh darn... that was beautiful.
I know what you mean call I can’t stop crying, what a beautiful song
It was once said, more or less, "A person without a tear is a person without a heart."
Cry your heart out, my friends.
He just won two Grammys for this song, most deservedly. Way to go, John, you're a hero to many.
I miss him.
He sang to all of us , private and soft
I don't listen to too many country songs, but when I do I choose them carefully. This has got to be the best country song I've ever heard. The words were not 'thought' out nor did anyone dig deep for them. They came directly from the heart, pure, sincere and "felt". They are as natural as taking a breath of air. You cause me to remember my Russian love when we first met....and her ocean eyes of blue. Thank you sir, with all my heart.
Wish I could have had a beer with this guy before he passed.
Me too bother!
We're all born for a reason. Each and every single one of us. So I've just got to believe, that we all pass for a reason as well. Peace...
So beautiful it makes my heart ache
He always leaves one in a state of awe. Is this your favorite song?
miss you John xo
Handsome Johnny,
we miss you in the mornin light,
like roses miss the dew.
Ive never felt the loss of someone I never really knew until my good friend Mr Prine passed on by to the next step.Thank you good sir for all of the Joy you have enabled me to find in such dreary times....Thank you ✌️✌🏾✌🏻✌🏿🌎
There is not a single John Prine Song I dislike. I’m trying to think of one i skip past. You just don’t, because
*Sweet songs never last to long on.....Broken Radios*. RiP Old Friend.
"And if the wind should blow just right, you might be in my arms tonight " loved his humor as well
Listening to to JP for 50 years, this is as good as it gets.
I leaned on my left leg in the parking lot dirt......genius.
John's songs were from his heart, every word he sang had tentacles that could find a spot in your heart. The older i get the more I find myself identifying with him.
and. . . . it's a superb testament to his lasting legacy of wonderfully crafted music!
Feel I was right there beside him in every adventure he sings about...
I have been a fan of John Prine since my schooldays. I toiled over my guitar trying to reproduce some of his amazing finger style.... I was lucky enough to see him live at the Bridgewater Hall in Manchester just before covid struck He wasn't a well man then and, sadly, covid claimed him..... He wrote and performed this song, his very last ever to be recorded, just before he died. He knew....
If this music doesn't make you cry you have no soul...
RIP John.
dear John,, i ate alot of peaches,never put any money in a hole in my arm,saw a few june bugs,had a apartment ,lived thru a warehouse of strangers,saw those diamonds in the sidewalk, even came home curly a few times , but most of all i cannot tell you how many times your music made me smile right down to the core , your music is a legacy that is timeless , Thank you Sir!!!!
Excellent!
Amen
What a way to bow out. His songs will last forever. Thank you John Prine, and all the love to Fiona, family & friends.
My John Prine story: In the summer of 2013 I was a Bus Operator driving a regular daily bus route from El Paso, Texas to Las Cruces, New Mexico called the Texas/New Mexico Park & Ride. Most of the commuters were students from El Paso going to NMSU, or El Paso residents working in Las Cruces or White Sands Missle Range and vice versa. Las Cruces residents going to school at UTEP or working in El Paso. One morning I'm boarding passengers in downtown El Paso and this one fellow catches my eye. There are homeless shelters near both the downtown El Paso bus stop and the downtown Las Cruces stop, so alot of these characters hopped between shelters on a regular basis. So I eyed him over making sure he was clean and not sneaking in some alcohol as some tended to do. He looked alright and he took a seat a couple of rows behind me. As I got on I-10 he started singing, not too loud, but singing to himself and chuckling at himself and the lyrics he was singing. It took me awhile but I finally realized he was singing John Prine songs. Souvenirs, Dear Abbey, Hello in There and on and on. With 3 stops between El Paso and Las Cruces the drive takes about an hour and fifteen. The whole way he sort of softly sang one song after another. I knew it was kind of annoying some of the passengers seated near him, but no one audibly complained. And even if they did, I wasn't about to ask him to stop. This was a John Prine sort of person. When we reached Las Cruces and as he walked down the steps of the bus I called out to him. A little startled, he turned around and I told him, "thanks for the John Prine concert!" I think I made his day...and John Prine made ours.

Hello in there
Awwww .... this is a lovely story. I didn't know John Prine but am here after hearing his song played on the dnc day 1 in memoriam section. His songs are definitely my kind so I wanted to hear the whole song.
I discovered John Prine later in life.. he is a wonderful song writer... I'll miss him.
Wow what a story. Would have loved to been on that bus
Still miss him....when he got to heaven ...
I remember everything,,things I cant forget ,,I'll miss u every day like Rose's miss the dew,, ❤🎶🎵🎶🌹❣😥🥀
I don’t miss a lot of people, even though I don’t know him personally I’m forever going to miss him. He’s a life time of lessons and wisdom.
Loved this togetherness with John tonight...he is smiling down on us...
Hated seeing the words: “John Prine’s last song”.
Not many old men playing a guitar can touch your spirit the way John could. You touched so many people I truly believe you will have a wonderful afterlife.
Unbelievably beautiful.
You have stolen my comment! 😊
He brought beauty and truth to my life. Grateful.
