Classic line. “ I can’t go to sleep until I’m so tired that I can’t stay awake “
How genuine hes heavyness is ...
Crazy... I have felt the same way for 40 years.. slowing down now and easier to sleep with a clear mind / conscious
Everytime I hear that I think: Hey. That's me too!😆
Feelin that way tonight, almost 10 pm and no more whiskey..
@@ebabdbgbbbebbluesman6115 stay strong brother 💪
Blaze Foley, Townes Van Zandt and John Prine. Three kings
Couldn't agree more
Damn, thanks man! Haven't heard of John Prine, but I know it'll be a great addition to life! Blaze and Townes saved me from certain death. The darkness is fading, again, and I'm stronger than ever.
Steve Goodman.
I agree about Blaze , Zandt and ( kind of ) about Prine. My only objection,wa, that while I love and play his music, the self deprecating jokes got to be overdone and not really needed at all. After awhile , they were cringeworthy. Sorry for the negativity, but it’s a truth for me…
Wonder how that angel band sounds with these guys in the line up
Some folks spend millions producing a music video and they could never come close to producing the feeling of truthfulness and beauty, or something as genuine as this.
John Rowan ww
I was just sitting here thinking that!
Beauty is forever... Bless him.
They might have money but he had talent
I want to play this song, but I cant even listen all the waynthrough without tears. 💙😢
I watched the sun come up today
The wind swept all the clouds away
The Sky did turn from grey to blue
As my thoughts did turn to you
The Birds sang songs we used to sing
memories of you to bring
soft and sweet and clear and high
the day is slowly passing by
tonight Ill be alone and blue
with empty arms that long for you
I only hear the lonesome sound
since you left our little town
I don't know why you went away
and nothing's all you had to say
not a word comes through here about you
and soon my heart will break in two
Tonight I’ll be alone and blue
with empty arms that long for you
I only hear the lonesome sound
since you left our little town
since you left our little town
RIP Blaze Foley (December 18, 1949 - February 1, 1989), aged 39
You will be remembered as a legend.
There is no sound that’s ever been emitted as sweet,sad,lonely, and beautiful as blaze Foley’s work.
Karen Dalton?
An incredible soul lost too soon.....
How is it that there are those who can give you a sense of home and place more familiar than any place you’ve ever lived in?
Beautiful mate. Peace and love
Sometimes the song starts, you know it’s a gem, but you still don’t see it coming, and the tears just fall.
This song just HITS at soooooo many levels, my god.
In January of 2020, i was going through Netflix looking for a movie to watch on my phone. I came across a guy on the cover with a guitar. I love music movies. Plus my dad has been playing guitar since he was fourteen. So thats where i gotten to love country since i was a youngin cause of my pops. Kenny Rogers The Gambler was my first recollection of my dad playing the guitar. Sometime in 79 or 80. Anyway when i started watching this movie called Blaze. And seen it was based on the life of Blaze Foley i quickly got interested in it from the beginning. Man the first song i heard on the movie was Picture Cards Can't Picture You. Going through a break up too at the time of 9 years. It brought tears to my eyes. One of the best songs i ever heard from a country singer. But yeah thats when I first heard of the man called Blaze. After I watched the movie. Immediately i told my dad about him. My dad also liked his songs. What's crazy is that my dad has always played in pubs n bars in Texas. Mostly here in San Angelo Tx. My dad has a way of picking that guitar as Blaze does. Yeah Great Music Blaze. R.I.P
You got any of your dads stuff to upload on YT? Wouldn't having a listen bro.
@@Isahiyella I do have some on TikTok. My dad had surgery over 3 years ago. He had cancer cells under his tongue. So having done surgery and chemo he pulled through fine. But damn!!!! The doctor in Dallas assured him that he would be back to normal within a year and a half. His tongue isn't what it used to be. He has no feeling. No taste. Still can't eat solid food. Still feeds himself through a tube next to his stomach. But he still sings. Everyone always asking him to play when he comes to town. His old friends and family.
@@Isahiyella don't know exactly how to upload to YT
@@andresbazan5314 Damn bro, that is rough. Be thankful he is still here! I'll keep you all in my prayers brother.
@@Isahiyella I appreciate you friend. Oh yeah most definitely. Glad he's still here. I posted a video of him jamming a few months ago. I'm his oldest. So I'm always gonna drink a few with him and jam with my pops. It was just me and him that night.
Our town, clay pigeons, If I could fly,three of the greatest songs I've ever heard. Can't stop listening
Blaze Foley is the greatest singer/songwriter that ever lived. This is music folks!
I think Mr Kristofferson and Mr Dylan and Mr Prine and Guy Clark may have something to say about that but he's good as are all the above absolute masters of there crafts.
Don't know if I ever heard a more honest take.
In any spectrum of music.
Blaze was the real fkn deal.
Earned it.
I’m glad that the internet exists because if it didn’t I would have never found out about this man.
This is the essence of country music.
This is the essence of music. Any genre. We're all looking for this. Some tiny percentage of us find it. Blaze owned it.
Blaze lost his life trying to do the right thing defending his friend out in California, He always hits home with me with this tune and he always moves the clouds away like a cool breeze in the hot summertime just for me, Thanks for everything Blaze, we will get to make some music together in the sweet bye in bye.
NO !
BLAZE living in Austin, Texas when he was killed...
Watch the documentary, search for it, I know you can...👍
I Was wrong about his place of passing, I only know his music through youtube and what commentary I find in this media but "our Little Town " is my personal favorite, and hope forgiveness can be found from all fans who may have found my comment offensive!
@@johnnyp8979 Thank You, I found the mis-info in commentary on youtube and I only know Blaze through his music and videos on youtube, I am sincere in my appreciation of his music so I hope you'll forgive any misgivings you may have concluded about me /Peace
@@darrellwoods2586 Actually part of the reason we all come here for the music is to relive times gone by, or events we attended, or people we've known...
For us ALL going back to a point, or even to a moment of presence (right now), where we are ONE with the music !
That's with me, being one with music I like and enjoy...
(Just last night, was hearing CTA, original Chicago Transit Authority with Terry Kath, Cetera, Lamm, Seraphine, etc... ❤️)
All's good 👍, just keep going off in tangents when offered, LOTS of great stuff, can't know it all...
BTW, I lived in Austin after Blaze was killed but learned about Blaze way after thru JOHN PRINE !
But YES, find the documentary!
Also another is MUSCLE SHOALS, lots of info on that one 😁.
Enjoy 👍 !
Merle Haggard (If I could only Fly) turned me on to Blaze Foley....then I found this...WOW. Just what I needed, so deep, so soulfull. I havent been able to stop listening to it. Plan on putting it on repeat with a 6pack and a joint tonight. RIP BLAZE
NATE DOGG I ´m also a big fan of Blaze Foley and i recently discovered Nate Dogg. I used to know him trough songs like Regulate... but now i ´m hunting every one of his featuring.
I love this two guys. Peace
Ps: maybe you should listen to Tom Waits if you don’t know
Nate Dogg, I'm guessing "For Anything Less" will have the same affect on you--enjoy!
It speaks well of Blaze Foley that his songs were covered by Merle Haggard, Lyle Lovett and John Prine (amongst others).
keep looking at his songs... Clay Pigeons... Picture Cards.... OMG, he's unbelievably on of my songwriting heros.
Add Townes VanZandt if you haven't already. Blaze and him were buddies
Warning!!!!
Don't listen to this video if you're trying to stay on the wagon!!!
Touching and Soulful
One way ticket to memory lane.....
I never heard the "on the wagon" expression. Thanks to you I've learned that is related to alcoholism. (I'm Italian and we can study English only at school, then it's up to you to go further)
I was blessed and fortunate to discover this amazing artist he saved me from the depths of my own despair and made me return to life again ❤
Glad to hear it man. Best view of all life’s riches is from a place of suffering
Wish I could have found him sooner in my life... so touching,..damn
Exactly
@@jondixon1392 I still revisit Blaze Foley often on TH-cam bought everything out there concerning his work.. still can't get enough
This guy had a soul of a poet.
Back here again. I think I was here a few months ago .. something special about his songs….
" I cant sleep till I can't stay awake"....man....like a kid...but now also...as years roll on....feel same way again...
just don't you mess with my Townes one more time though Blaze....you would make him late for his funeral....but sometimes...truth is...think you had somthin to do with gettin him there way to early...
but hey...the horse himself is responsible for drinkin...
Miss you Townes.....mustve been somethin big you needed, that Blaze......god you deserve it ALL anything ....for the comfort you have given
Just what I needed to hear when I didn’t know I needed to hear a thing. Rip to the legend Blaze Foley.
Pretty good lyric. Wish I’d come up with it
Excellent songwriter , did a lot of living in 40 yrs.
Another musical genius recognized after he past on !
I heard Clay Pigeons the other day, and I've been hooked on Blaze now. Great songwriter, guitar player, and singer!
Same.its on repeat
I think Clay Pigeons is one of the best songs ever written.
very beautiful, lovely to listen to on a cold night...RIP blaze foley
38 years old here...that's some hard living Blaze. He was not only a great songwriter and singer, he was also an exceptionally good guitar player. His Picking on Clay Pigeons is just wonderful. I wonder how long Blaze would have lived if he had lived? Rest easy big fella.
I'm sitting here with my mouth open and chills running down my spine, that was amazing!
had a similar reaction tbh
Same happened to me 5 years ago
@@mikeaustin8868 just now happening to me...
That “earring” in Blaze’s ear is Sybil Rosens IUD. One of a kind.
Raw talent right there! This is what music should be and should stay!!
That works just just fine Blaze. Great song. RIP.
true greatness is a rare thing and I cant tell you what it is , but i know it when i see it, thank you blaze
The way i precieve this song is like giant hug
Dit lied is wonderlijk mooi en prachtig melancholiek. Fantastisch gezongen. Mijn bewondering voor Blaze Foley. rip Blaze.
fantastic..what a performer..totally blown away!!
And thats when you've really Lived a song.
just saw the movie "Blaze" and now i can't stop tubing Blaze and Townes. Their music hits you right in the gut. Sometimes less is more!
This is a treasure.
Beautiful. Great songwriting...just a voice and guitar. A sad life in many ways but what a legacy.
He had heart. I’m sad he lost his life because of it. Rest easy beautiful man. Thank you for these melodies that touch our souls way down deep where memories of gone loves live.
He was such an amazing singer with such a unique voice. Such a shame, gone too young :(
This song has the emotion that only the greatest artist can create
This guys a poet. True and pure.
It doesn't get any more real and soulful than that......God Bless You Blaze Foley.
Blaze had such a knack for beautiful melodies. This is gorgeous.
Absolutely brilliant. So much emotion in his voice, incredible.
Sheer brilliance, the man has soul, can really move you with just a guitar and his voice.
Man, everyone else finding this song through some other way... I was looking for some random dude from who knows when about a random song about cheeseburgers. Then I found this masterpiece. It's like finding a hundred dollar bill in your pocket, when you're $80 short of rent and hungry for a pizza.
There's so much crap out there hogging the bandwidth that when you discover gold like this you pounce on it. I'm only now realizing how many of his songs I already love from other singers. They are usually more polished than his singing, which is raw and emotional. (Great analogy, btw.)
I took acid one night and watched this video tears just rolled down my face couldn’t quite place a reason but it’s a moving song
God bless the person that put a guitar in this boys hands.
I can't remember ever hearing anyone as truthfull and good at what he does the best and especially one man and his guitar Blaze has me hooked
THANKS TO JOHN PRINE FOR HELPING ME FIND BLAZE FOLEY. TWO OF THE GREATEST
some people just 'don't get it'. Story songs sung with feeling. Why listen to anything else, & Prine & Blaze do it with the best!
Alan Pat I would and Townes Van Zandt to that list. Also, Mary Gauthier.
@@peerman2006 John Prine was very good, but Blaze and Townes are the BEST, no exceptions or lists. John Moreland approaches this level on a few of his songs, as do many others. But its Blaze and Townes. In that order, but depending on whether you want to emphasise purity or poetry.
this is pure gold. more gold than gold even...
This guy is so good.. I’ve been playing country for about a year now, it started with Hank Williams Sr and then Townes Van Zandt and now Blaze Foley.. I feel like I’ve stumbled across a gold mine!
Wait until you find John Prine.
He plays it down as being nothing special and don't expect much and then just opens his soul and knocks you sideways.
One of my favorite Blaze tunes. He's so awesome. I wish there was more music to discover. All these live videos make up for it though. RIP Blaze Foley. Thank you for your music.
absolutely fucking incredible. as true a piece of art as ever was created in all of humankind. just beautiful.
“I can’t go to sleep til I’m so tired that I can’t stay awake” 😂 me right now at 1am
Thank you Blaze - you've saved me from certain death. I owe my life to you. I used to hate 'country', but now, I think I'll write a few songs of my own 😉
❤️
I can't go to sleep until I'm so tired I can't stay awake. ME TOO! Really! For real. I sleep at 3-4 am. I read the bible and other books or I write songs, poems, words and play my guitar. I wake up at 10 O clock or so. Sorry if I wasted your time. Just wanted to say to ya'll, Blaze ain't the only one. OK, nuff said.
I've been that way for years still am. It's a musician thing I think.
Ol boy left us way too early...RIP
Helping out a friend
Yes, Blaze. That'll work.
Sure did.👏🏽👍🏾
Beautiful. What a great song
I love this man, never met him. My loss. But if I ever did meet him, we'd play music, have fun making memories to talk about.... I love that he loved his woman so dearly. I just love the way he puts feelings and good and bad times to life through music. It's kind of like I know him because he sings about what's in my innermost thoughts right out there for everyone to hear.
From talking with his friends, I have no doubt that you and Blaze would have been great friends for each other. Thanks for your comment :)
@@mopacmedia he just knew how to write/sing so much of how I feel and who I am.
damn near nobody writes songs this good
Too much fear and loathing the the world, Raoul.
This is so sad :(
He was such a poete
great show: Mike Judge presents tales from the tour bus - s1e8 Blaze Foley, RIP brother
Never liked or listend to country/folk.(other thank greek). This however opend my eyes. Glad i watched the film. LEGEND
You should check out joe purdy, he’s also amazing
Amazing how some people can express themselves so beautifully. Cheers Blaze!
A real authentic, homegrown, organic song without pretentiousness and phony make-believe. This is the real deal. The way handmade songs used to be sung. Long ago. When memories were displayed in oval frames, and captured in tones of sepia.
“Will that work?” I think so Blaze, I think so
I just read about 10 comments below. Was wonderful reading, I am from Austin TX, saw Blaze everywhere. I didn't know him personally, but he played where he could. In Austin that's pretty much everywhere. The Duct tape Messiah; couldn't even afford new boots. That crazy lifestyle took his life; it also fed his genius.
+Charles Ard I too saw Blaze in all around Austin and finally at the Austin Outhouse for his funeral.
Very cool, wasn't at funeral, but all over Austin. Perhaps we crossed paths...
A heroin addict he crossed killed him for standing up to him for stealing his own father's ss check every month. Shot him with a rifle in the liver and walked away free.
C. Ard You're one of the lucky ones that happens to be around a great music scene. I would loved to have seen such great musicians like Blaze and SRV play local spots.
My favorite Blaze track
Amazing to me that a talent like that could be homeless most of his life only in America
Love him and through his songs he stays on my mind...really love Blly Strings tribute to him earlier this Year
This made my heart grow
same my friend
I get that Blaze, same here. RIP
Great Texas song writer
jadapan1 Arkansas born, Texas raised.
If ones ears must be wrecked, I can't think of a better way to ruin them. This is some good stuff here friends!
Beautiful
"I can't go to sleep until I'm so tired that I can't stay awake."
Soulful artist ❤ ain't a cold cold world
respect... some people dont ever get it...i slept in elevator parkades in Saskatchewan in winter... i dont expect you to get it!!... Merry Christmas Blaze... its hard sometimes
Tryin my best to figure this guy out. just found this one but clay pigeons is my favorite. been writing for 20 years but never pulled a clay pigeons out of my rear yet. met a guy from Texas a long time ago and he taught me if only I could fly. he cried every time he played it. still trying to figure this guy out. why try? just enjoy.
John Rowan, since you are newly aware of Blaze, you might not yet have heard "For Anything Less," "Faded Love and Memories," and "You'll Get Yours Aplenty"--do yourself a favor and check them out.
will long, thanks for the heads up brother. I'll be checkin them out. Visiting Blaze right now. He's just what I need on this rainy night. God bless. Yeah Blaze, we're still listening.
It's hard most of the time...
Yeah. That works.
BLAZE WAS A HERO rest in peace Deputy
Seriously can’t thank you enough for these videos. Does my heart a world of good to still be able to see him.
Perfect songs!
he is like daniel johnston where every song is great but really really great in a country way..
Sitting here in ga listening to the thunder backing blaze feeling closer to peace, hope yall can find it too one day.
So rare to see him. So damn good. At least there's some vids for youngins like me. True greatness.
oh man what a great tune thanks for posting this
Oldie but goodie
What a thing to be captured in such beautiful VHS starkness
Thank you for putting this here
Wonderful video and performance by him. Big sigh.
Hearing this feels as of I'd been kicked in the chest by horse. R.I.P. Blaze.
