Hello everyone! Thanks so much for your well wishes, I'm resting up here in nashville & can't wait to get back on the road! You can ask your questions in the chat box about the song or video and I'll be back at 3pm CST to answer as many as I can!
John Prine, it's great to hear you are keen to get back on the road. My family will be at your show in London (England) later this year. I'm hoping we can get to meet you in person as my 11 year old son is as big a fan of you as I am. We are looking forward to the premier this evening (8pm here). My son has had a stent at two weeks old. He doesn't remember it of course but I certainly do.
I've almost never cried for someone I don't know personally, but I feel like I DID know John, just as most of his fans must feel, too. He made the world such a better place by being here. That's all I can say. RIP, you beautiful soul.
My heart bleeds for those who are currently suffering in Tenn. & beyond, for latest insane flooding & such… I was just in a rando mood for listening to several Late, GREAT John Prine songs & then picked this one, which I must’ve hear oh heck, 100 x’s since he originally made it back in the day and well, got me thinkin’ of all of y’all folks that’ve been having to put up with yet, another horrible whatnot in Tenn. & surrounding Southeast US States… I’ve been to all, many a time, nearly every community, town &, city throughout the Contiguous U.S. of A., less Maine (OTR Truck Driver)
Sad day today. I first heard your music in 1975 and it has stuck with me ever since. I was 23 then and when I heard Hello in There, I felt sorry for those old folks, I guess that was partly the point. The other to have some empathy.... Now I am "those old folks" and for me, it gives the song a whole new meaning. How could you have been that insightful in your 20's.....guess that was your genius. Thanks for the memories John Prine, your work here is done, may you rest peacefully.
i ashamed to say that i did not cry when my dad died but i did the morning that i heard john died i never met him but i miss him PLEASE DONATE to keep his joy flowing
John I first heard Paradise in 1977. I was 29 years old.Today, I am 72, and my heart is broken. I must have played that song thousands of times. I've traveled right. down the Green River many times. I will never get over your loss. You were, and are one of my greatest heroes! You sort of remind me of Doc Watson and brother that's a high compliment. Rest well, gentle soul.
Hello!!! How are you doing today, please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you’re a fan ? Have a great day… Stay Safe
@@corinnegillingham5282 Hey! That’s very good to know, I just can’t stop myself from listening to this song anytime am alone! If I may ask which of all his songs is your favorite? Have a great day… Stay Safe
Well, Mr. Prine, I have read every comment on this thread and all I can say is that it must have been the Will of God to take you home. I have no doubt that you are with the Lord you always loved and in my heart I know you are at peace. I send love to your Spirit and to your lovely widow and family you left behind. Forever and always ❤️ T. M.
John Prine you saved my life, my parents would scream at each other but play John Prine... lol And I could hear John Prine's beautiful lyrics and voice and, of course, his guitar over the screaming.... I choose to take John Prine's advice and spread love..... Somehow, God blessed me to keep on the journey, towards peace for all those who struggle for Love!
Dear John, what can I say? I’m 68 and you have been my constant companion through life since 1975. Your music speaks to me more than any other artist. You, Dylan and Townes are the trinity of my musical world. I can’t imagine a world without you and the music you have yet to write so I try not to think about it. God bless you John Prine....
Thanks for this on a quiet night. Sometimes it feels lonely asking questions that nobody else seems to care about. We may feel lonely, but we are not alone. I bet Ptolemy sat alone wondering if he was a crazy person..
The first time I saw John play live was in 1984. It was him and Steve Goodman. They played at the University of Arizona in Tucson. When I heard they were coming, I literally ran to the box office and got 4 tickets. Second row, center. I had been listening to him for almost 10 years by then, mostly while stationed in Germany in the army. To see him and Steve in person was the culmination of my music listening journey. I still have the ticket stub and have since scanned it to help preserve the memory. Thanks, John, for bringing us to this moment.
I saw John and Steve at the celebrity theater in phx many years ago. Saw John w Bonnie Raitt again w Cowboy Junkies all at the celebrity so very long ago. He was always great, funny too. Back in the days when I was young and so were they. Sue
oh..... man .......... John Prine .... just when I want to give up on all humanity and crawl into another deep dark hole to escape the madness; you shine some levity and escape into the equation. Thank you, Mr. Prine. heal fast and strong. we need you. Ramcey in Nashville
Mrs. Prine my thoughts and prayers are with you. I recently lost my husband and I know nothing I can say will make you feel better. But just remember he is with the Lord now. ✝️❤
John's passing is a loss to so many of us. Your family is in my prayers. So grateful for his wisdom, heart and playful humor. We need John today more than ever. Thank you for the music memories. Enjoy your well-deserved nine-mile long cigarette, John, and rest in peace!
In '90's I'd lived in Memphis for a good number of yrs & people always asked if I listened to John Prine & it wasn't but within the last six years I came to appreciate his musical talent.
The sky is so dark on planet Pluto that you could see stars during the day! This song and animation are a real treat. Some complain that there is no good music anymore. They obviously haven’t been introduced to Mr. John Prine.
Saw John Prine in the 60's. He was off beat then. Saw him in concert 20 years ago- he was touring with Leo Kotke, alternating turns. They were just great then, and John Prine has gone his own way at successfully picking apart what's going bad about our society. Good For You John. God will forgive your sins because you are a Good Man, not a power hungry dolt chasing power!
My buddy and I were playing guitars for beers in a dive bar somewhere in Northeast Ohio in the early 90's the owner said we reminded him of John Prine we had never heard of John before so he gave us a quarter and said go to the jukebox and play Sam Stone.Needless to say been a fan ever since.
The first time I heard this song was a friend of mine playing it on his guitar and singing it. Then he took us to a John Prine concert where I got to meet him. This song has never left my soul. I'm getting to the "hello" myself. I work in a hospital. And this song never leaves me. Love you John Prine. Thank you
John, your spirit has moved on, and we will miss you. But your music will endure as long as there are people who listen. And listen they shall. See you on the flip side.
My daughter, Trinity & I use to listen to Lost Dogs & Mixed Blessings. We would laugh, cry & sing along. She's been gone 6 years, but we're still listening.
I've been Enjoying John for over 40 years now, and he has given me many hours of Smiles and Contentment! I can only think of him with a Smile on my Face! ;-)
RIP JOHN THE WORLD WAS A LOT BETTER PLACE WITH YOU IN IT! YOUR MUSIC WILL LIVE FOREVER! THANK YOU FOR ALL THE SOUVENIRS! GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!
The best friend I never met. John Prine was the poet of the working man. What a treat to see this man live. Bonnie Raitt and John together were magical. I'm glad his family is putting his music out there for another generation.
Our John. He pulled from a palette of colored words that painted 3-d songs. His songs take me back to summer days in a field of sourgrass surrounded with honeysuckle. I'm there now
Like the Statue of Liberty holds her torch, I hold John just as high for as long as I am on this planet. Thanks for being such a great light for all of us. It warms my soul and lights the way for my mind.
I’m writing and listening to this while waiting in a covaidshepc test line. Bastards in their white lab coats experiment with mountain goats hit the mark! RIP John. I hope there is more fun in Heaven for you.
I raised my kids on Peaches and let em find Jesus on their own! The first dance at both girls weddings was a Prine Song and each reception ended with one!
I also live deep in my head , My wife of thirty eight years, Now she's layin Dead, Wanted cremation cause of hating the cold, Now she's gone and I just feel really old. She was seven years older than me, didn't want me to die first, leave her lonely way inside of her head. So I live here inside of my head, and she lives with me even though she's called dead, We're gonna be living here as long as I can sing this song. Thank you John Tripolar cause Mania and Depression aren't Enough. She passed March 16, 2019 and I'm finally crying. Thank You John! Her name is Josie Escobedo mine is Bob Johnson
I know where you're coming from. I lost my husband in October of '19. We had nobody but each other for 29 years and now I have nobody at all and I have coffee every morning with him. He's right here in his urn. 🥀🖤
@@moondancer9066 I sent my wife's urn to be with her family in Cheyenne, but Josie is with me, having Sees Candy even though I'm diabetic, and fat! Much Love, Tripolar, cause Mania and Depression aren't Enough.
I was introduced to John Prines music by a fellow jammer about six years ago. He brought me two songs that he thought I would like to learn. I was hooked at that moment. You were a huge song writer with the most unique delivery. I loved you John. Rest peacefully knowing you left us a gift.
I doubt you will see this but you have been the only artist I can truly identify with. Although I enjoyed your classics like sam stone, I am glad you have come to terms with what matters. The Lord has been mighty kind to put you on this earth and for you to honor him as much as you have in this latest album makes me extremely happy. as corny as it sounds this whole album truly touches my soul. Thank you Mr Prine and keep using your gift as long as the Lord allows.
Hey John, I’ve been a fan for about 50years. It didn’t seem that long till I did the math. There are 2 people in the world I’d love to meet. You and Paul Macartney. Your music has made my life so much sweeter. Thanks so much. I wish you nothing but the best!
One day i was 18 . working out of town. Went into a music store in Tacoma Washington. I said can I please have who's playing on the speakers. It was john prine. Fell in love with music again. Im 35 now, and crazy as a loon
John you'll probably never read this but I just had to tell you you are the best lyricist of our time. Someone once called you the Mark Twain of our generation and I don't think I could have summed it up better. Please know how special you are.
John, I love you so much. I can't stop the tears since I heard you fell ill. You can beat this, if anyone can. We need you now more than ever. Your voice, your words and music, has always been where I turn whenever I need to find strength to get through the challenges of this life. You can do this!
20 years ago I moved from NY to Tampa and auditioned for a band shortly afterward. Having never played the particular genre of music this band did, they gave me a tape of songs to learn. It was then that I heard John Prine for the first time with tunes like Paradise and Far from me. At the audition I mentioned how great those songs were and asked who it was? They laughed at me and said are you kidding me? That's John Prine. You don't know John Prine? I didn't up until that point, but I started listening to a lot of his work, and he soon became one of my favorite songwriters of all time. Damn will he be missed? Even more so in the future then now, because his vintage only improves with time. As writers of his ilk become fewer and fewer, we'll miss him more and more.
You still in the area? What would Tampa be without the St Pete music scene, WMNF, or Skippers Smokehouse? Saw John at his last St Pete show in December, and that made it even harder when he made transition so few months after. But it will always be a treasured memory.
@@TampaDave I'm still around. I used to get homesick now and again. But with each visit back to NY, it gradually diminished until I eventually did a complete 360°. Now when I visit NY, I miss Florida. I was totally surprised when I first moved here to discover all the excellent musicians and great music scene in this area at the time. Now that I'm retired I'm looking to get back into playing more regularly. The problem I've had is finding musicians around my age. I have no problem playing with the younger guys, it's the younger guys that don't understand that I'm not old, I'm Vintage. There's a difference.
@@TampaDave I believe I saw them at Skippers years ago if it's the same band I'm thinking of. The band I saw was an excellent Grateful Dead cover band. But that was quite a while ago.
Thanks everyone for watching the video and chatting. See you out on the road
No, thank you John! I hope you get feeling better soon! We love you!
Will you be touring Stone Park this year lol
We are going to miss you in Banff but wishing you our best- lots of love - Next year? I sure hope - from Robert and family
Thank you for this gentle song, Mr. Prine. It's exactly the perspective we all need❤️
Get well John,😎❤️

My brother love his music . My brother is on heaven now with John Prime.
John became part of my thinking in life. If that's not knowing him I don't know what is...
his music was like him talking to u it was like family dying
Adding another concert I’m going to when I get to heaven. The list keeps growing. Rest In Peace Mr Prine
Thanks John, for all your songs and who you were, still are, to so many folks.
He could write the best from his beginning to his final...still get tears ...

How long do you suppose this would take, in earth years?
It would certainly be as task of biblical proportions, regardless of speed of consumption.

The Tree of Forgiveness is a perfect album. Every song's a winner.
You're a national treasure man!
There are no words...
My god, what will we do without him?
Never fails. When I hear a John Prine song, I start to smile.
Can't say I smile when I hear Souvenirs, but that doesn't change it from being one of his greatest songs

♥️ Always and forever.
weeping. And so grateful. The songs live on. And the songs are John.
John you'll probably never read this but I just had to tell you you are the best lyricist of our time. Someone once called you the Mark Twain of our generation and I don't think I could have summed it up better. Please know how special you are.
John, I love you so much. I can't stop the tears since I heard you fell ill. You can beat this, if anyone can. We need you now more than ever. Your voice, your words and music, has always been where I turn whenever I need to find strength to get through the challenges of this life. You can do this!
Thanks for a lifetime of fabulous tunes, John.
Absolutely beautiful !! RIP John !! You will always be deep in my heart 💓
Best song on the planet, I love it! Thank you!!
Such a wonderful wonderful artist! So sorry I only discovered John after he passed!
20 years ago I moved from NY to Tampa and auditioned for a band shortly afterward.
Having never played the particular genre of music this band did, they gave me a tape of songs to learn.
It was then that I heard John Prine for the first time with tunes like Paradise and Far from me.
At the audition I mentioned how great those songs were and asked who it was?
They laughed at me and said are you kidding me? That's John Prine. You don't know John Prine?
I didn't up until that point, but I started listening to a lot of his work, and he soon became one of my favorite songwriters of all time.
Damn will he be missed? Even more so in the future then now, because his vintage only improves with time.
As writers of his ilk become fewer and fewer, we'll miss him more and more.
You still in the area? What would Tampa be without the St Pete music scene, WMNF, or Skippers Smokehouse?
Saw John at his last St Pete show in December, and that made it even harder when he made transition so few months after. But it will always be a treasured memory.
@@TampaDave I'm still around. I used to get homesick now and again. But with each visit back to NY, it gradually diminished until I eventually did a complete 360°.
Now when I visit NY, I miss Florida. I was totally surprised when I first moved here to discover all the excellent musicians and great music scene in this area at the time.
Now that I'm retired I'm looking to get back into playing more regularly. The problem I've had is finding musicians around my age. I have no problem playing with the younger guys, it's the younger guys that don't understand that I'm not old, I'm Vintage. There's a difference.
@@mtp4430 have you seen the local band Uncle John's Band? If you come see them, ask around for Tampa Dave.
@@TampaDave I believe I saw them at Skippers years ago if it's the same band I'm thinking of. The band I saw was an excellent Grateful Dead cover band. But that was quite a while ago.
@@mtp4430 yes, they used to play every Thursday. For over 1100 Thursdays. They play some Sundays at Skippers now.
