John K Samson has to be one of the best songwriters of all time. After listening to The Weakerthans for the last 8 years, I find that certain lyrics change meaning according to how I am feeling. True measure of pure genius! Just wish that The Weakerthans would come and play Liverpool UK :)
great song, also acoustic! please maybe someone can help: there was once another acoustic version of fallow by john k. smasom on yt. i cant find it anymore 😞 has someone downloaded this other acoustic performance? thx
Your’ list of “I meant to say.” -winter comes too soon -radiators hum out of tune Something about that first part that really hits me, never knew quite why.
I live in calgary and this station got kicked off the air cause people would rather listen to katy perry and them. made me very sad because this is true talent and it seems that all of the really good stuff is kept off the radio
A poet, lyricist, songwriter that paints portraits in your memory
This is the song my wife and I picked for our first dance. Things are rough right now, and this is exactly what I needed to stumble upon.

My son turned me on to The Weakerthans when he was 14. I am forever grateful. Beautiful. Thank you John for writing this song.

Thank you for posting! John K Samson is my favorite contemporary songwriter. Pure Poetry....Makes me happy and sad at the same time....
Hard not to cry....many memories!
One of the most beautiful and comforting songs I've ever heard.
"I can barely play this thing" - yeah right, you (folk) rocked that thing!
I watch this at least twice a week.
By far one of the greatest songs ever written. Playing and singing this song is impossible.
to sing and play something so amazing... hello, Mr. you're an angel.
John K is the best lyricist of all time. Fight me.
