have been a Steve Earle devotee for over 20 yrs, we grew up 40 miles from each other in Texas, as recovering addict, i thank God for giving him another chance at life...incredible....
This song has given me some of the finest memories of my life. My father introduced me to Steve Earle, We watched this video clip together many times. He has been gone nine years now. Ironic...."Goodbye"
I remember holdin on to you All them long and lonely nights I put you through Somewhere in there I′m sure I made you cry But I can't remember If we said goodbye But I recall All of them nights down in Mexico One place I may never go In my life again Was I just off somewhere Just too high But I can′t remember If we said goodbye I only miss you here every now and then Like the soft breeze Blowin up from the Caribbean' Most Novembers I break down and cry But I can't remember If we said goodbye But I recall All of them nights down in Mexico That′s one place I′ll never go In my life again Oh, was I off somewhere Maybe just too high But I can't remember If we said goodbye But I can′t remember If we said goodbye Goodbye Goodbye
I don't think they gathered the best songwriters of his generation yet, but when the time comes I'm sure he will be there in the top together with all his friends. Until then we just need to spread the word!
He's great and I'm think that when he sings "I recall all those nights in Mexico" Mexico is just a metaphor for any place that you loved with someone and can't go back to that place again. I feel it can be anyplace that was special to you and lost. Love you Steve great song.
***** I don't think it is just a metaphor - If you read the biography of Steve by St. John, Steve spent time in Mexico doing a lot of drugs and partying. I do think it is a metaphor, though for those kinds of places we get lost rather than the good times we can't regain. Maybe it is both. The song is certainly about loss and regret.
for me, seeing the Austin City Limits tribute to Townes Van Zandt, when Steve sings 'Ft. Worth Blues' and Nanci Griffith is sitting next to him on the stage with tears streaming down her face is the most amazing for me knowing how Townes was his hero as well as friend. That one is on my top nine favorites I believe. This one is quite heartrending, the duet version with Emmylou of course being superior because of their combined skills and experiences being on the same wavelength.
One greatest song but sad tear me up inside I hear this song. This song goes out my dad mom because I never got say goodbye. Last years. 2014. I miss her storys about the past.
I thought I was long over the breakup with my fourth wife, but the first time I heard Steve perform this and he got to "Most Novembers . . . " I cried and cried and cried . . . like a water main in my heart just burst.
met steve a few years back in asbury park NJ anyway i asked him what was the best song he ever wrote he then walked away to get on his tour bus turned around and said goodbye, i said yes but whats the best song youve wrote then i realised said cool later steve, brilliant song !!!!
+jason wallace I met Steve Earl twice in Memphis. One time I told him I was his biggest fan, he replied and said "no your not". 'I have a fan that almost 7 foot tall". That was great.
i saw him in Santa Fe a few years back, seconds after the show ended, i darted out the back of the venue to try and beat the crowd (messed up parking lot) - and i saw Steve doing his impression of jogging to his tour bus so he wouldn't have to chat with everyone - I yelled out "Hey Steve, can i come over and say "hi" and he's like, "yeah, but you better hurry up". I guess you had to be there,,,LOL. It was really funny.
@@scottstevens3213 I met him in the early 2000's. I asked him for an autograph for my mom who just had surgery. He asked if I was going to the show that night, and I said I was a poor students and my mom was the bigger fan. He gave me and my ex free front row tickets to the sold out show. His manager came up to us afterwards with some picks and stuff and asked if we enjoyed the show. I have been a huge fan since. Really nice genuine guy.
one of the last great troubadours. what a song, so brave, the way it stares into the void of regret. nostalgia without sentimentality, just grief, still raw after all these years.
STEVE EARLE ROCKS--finally got to see him in Bethel, NY Sep 29, 2012 at the Bethel Woods Museum (where the legendary Woodstock Festival was held in August 1969. Got to meet him too!--and honestly--that's where I first heard this song for the very first time and I wondered why I hadn't heard it before--I have many Steve Earle CD's but I missed this one--he is an American music treasure and nice guy
I know Steve wrote this for his ex wife, Teresa, but it feels like my ex wrote it for me too. Our situation completely. I cry every time I hear this song. Sad beyond belief....
I've tried to cover his songs and this song as a single performer. I've seen him live couple times in Portland, Oregon . In a small theater I was fortunate to be 25 ft from him a couple times. I've got to tell you what he does with his right and left hand is majestic and an extremely extremely difficult to duplicate. Him , Willy and JJ Cale you get blown away just watching their hands let alone the lyrics work years of making their own patterns , writing and singing their own songs. A favorite song of mine no doubt
i was 15 when this album came out in 95 i knew it was his 'comeback' cd. i was at first, disappointed when it was all acoustic. but turned out to be one of my all time favorite albums.. this happens to be my favorite song off the cd. this guy is a genius. took the music world too long to finally take this man serious. saw him twice in concert, met him too. he spelled my name wrong lol steve rocks always
God bless you, my friend..what you are and how you live has nothing to do with your great appreciation for a talent that, in my lifetime, has been untouched by another else...take care.
This guy is just so underrated it's disgusting. "Talent" wise? There are few that can touch him. It's kinda sad how drugs & prison messed up his career. There was a time (the 80's) he was poised as the new of "Bruce Springsteen". Critics praised him (Copperhead Road) & expected huge success for him. In any event, he is just utterly & phenomenally magnificent. Maybe he didn't achieve the anticipated success, but he still has a loyal following. Wish he'd come to town. I'de love 2 see him.
I've listened to this video a thousand times and it never gets old. There is just something about it, that grabs a hold of you. Great Great tune.......
@Mouldytone In this video, Steve is playing a Gibson Roy Smeck model...which is a 12 fret guitar based on their Jumbo body. The Roy Smeck model was originally a lap/Hawaiin guitar with no frets...and one of Jackson Browne's favorite guitars. Santa Cruz guitars built Steve a replica of the 12 fret, slot head D-18S, which you may have seen. I've had the opportunity to speak guitars with Steve Earle on a couple occasions...but it's still his writing that amazes me.
Wonderful, just plain wonderful! That said, it's hard to imagine why a artist like this is just passed over for radio play. To enjoy Steve or others like him it's up to you. Local radio stations don't get this, I have no idea where they get their ratings numbers from I haven't listen to music stations in years, most of my friends feel the same. Keep up the wonderful work and well keep listening!
In October when your birthday came i made you a cake and i wondered if i screamed loud enough, begged,, cried that you might come back even for just a minute but you didnt and every day is a new day that i have to let you go. RIP Jake
this was a piece of a longer write I did. Jake was just 24 years old. We lost him to an accidental overdose of xaanax and alcohol. he went to sleep and never woke up. He was ,my sons best friend and a son of my heart.
ive met steve a few times and being a songwriter myself i asked him whats the best song hes ever wrote he said goodbye i said yes but can you just answe before you go he said GOODBYE then i realised !.Amazing talent cool guy god bless you stevie

If I could never listen to music again except for two artists, it'd be this guy and Christian Kane. Cannot get enough of either of ma hardcore troubadours.
I love this song. It was on a mix some bartender friends gave me, and I didn't know who this was then. But the lyrical content was right on time- moved in with friends 4 states away after a breakup. Almost fell over when I heard this.
I just love this. I must also say that I just love Richard Thompson who is so articulate and soulful and who would embelish this song to perfection but could still never touch the purity with experise that something like a song can ever hope to reach, although he could and does but i just love richard thompson and i love this too
I love this song . I love guitar town also. Most of all I love Steve Earl . I've seen him twice here in Canada. Back in the drug yrs. Wow . Great show.!! I've started to but a few vids on TH-cam . Stop by if ya can . ;)
HE WAS NOT ARRESTED FOR WHAT HE DESERVED BY A LOT OF PEOPLE BUT HE WAS AND STILL IS A VERY GREAT SINGER AND SONG WRITER I HAVE EVER TAPE HE HAS HAD ❤LOVE STEVE EARLE 🎉🎉🎉❤
@tailesill4 so very true, that! This song makes me miss my ex so much. Even after all these years. I dont know if its him i miss or just who we were back then. Leaving him was probably the smartest thing i ever did, and it was also the stupidest.
Great song. Great performance. Steve has had his battles over the years. Which gives him the scars to write and perform good music. I've seen comments about his politics. People have to remember that most musicians have a different view of things and that's ok. I like rebels. Rebels in thought, rebels in music, rebels in life. To be American is to be a rebel. And, yes performers fall to all sorts of vices just like everyone else does.
It's on iTunes, off of the 1995 album Train a Comin', but I'd wait a couple of months until Warner Bros.' stuff is available in iTunes Plus and you can get it in full 256-bit. Until then, this is a great place to hear a great song.
Great song. You can sure here Townes Van Zandt licks in this song. It reinforces the influence Townes and other Great Texas Singer/Songwriters had on Steve Earl at a young age. The way he plays the guitar in this song is right out their book. Beautifully done.
What really annoys the hell out of me, is how real talent like this, is so totally under appreciated today. I mean, why this man, isn't a mega-super star is totally beyond me. What passes for "Super Stars" today is an utter joke. Doesn't anybody appreciate real music anymore? Well, obviously some (but not enough) of us do. I think it's partly to blame on schools for cutting music & band,etc out of the curriculum to make room for homosexual sensitivity & anti-religion training/indoctrination.
If you guys like this checkout Ellis unit one, It's just as good,He performed both songs on a show called sessions at west 54th I was watching that night many years ago these songs still haunt me!
have been a Steve Earle devotee for over 20 yrs, we grew up 40 miles from each other in Texas, as recovering addict, i thank God for giving him another chance at life...incredible....
I hear ya. I am too. We are all broken in some way but I appreciate honesty.
This is the most honest, most true, most heatbreakingly beautiful song I have ever heard
Really. And Steve never offered a pat on the back $$ for my authority.
Actually also, authorship is truer
No permission to use this from my portfolio was offered
True !
Lord. I could listen to this song over and over again. Steve knows how to write and sing absolute killer songs.
I do listen over and over. But only this performance.
This is absolutely best version of this tune
I like it better than the live version with Emmylou singing
And I Love Emmylou
I agree! I have the same feeling. Hard to explain but i’ts wonderful.
This song has given me some of the finest memories of my life. My father introduced me to Steve Earle, We watched this video clip together many times. He has been gone nine years now. Ironic...."Goodbye"
That's call soul baby. Singing from the depths of his old soul.
I remember holdin on to you
All them long and lonely nights I put you through
Somewhere in there
I′m sure I made you cry
But I can't remember
If we said goodbye
But I recall
All of them nights down in Mexico
One place I may never go
In my life again
Was I just off somewhere
Just too high
But I can′t remember
If we said goodbye
I only miss you here every now and then
Like the soft breeze
Blowin up from the Caribbean'
Most Novembers
I break down and cry
But I can't remember
If we said goodbye
But I recall
All of them nights down in Mexico
That′s one place I′ll never go
In my life again
Oh, was I off somewhere
Maybe just too high
But I can't remember
If we said goodbye
But I can′t remember
If we said goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Wow, this guy never fails to impress me with his real life feel and powerful simple lines.
I got tears in my eyes everytime I hear this tune....
I start welling up at the first few notes/chords of this song! :(
Truly one of his very best songs. What a voice he has eh, brilliant!
My favourite Steve song by far. He's helping me with a project to have a guitar built to honour American Vietnam Veterans.
This is one of the few songs that makes me cry...
Saw Steve Earle some years back, hearing this song again brought me to tears..
thank you
I don't think they gathered the best songwriters of his generation yet, but when the time comes I'm sure he will be there in the top together with all his friends. Until then we just need to spread the word!
A simply incredible song, so powerful.
He's great and I'm think that when he sings "I recall all those nights in Mexico" Mexico is just a metaphor for any place that you loved with someone and can't go back to that place again. I feel it can be anyplace that was special to you and lost. Love you Steve great song.

I do think it is a metaphor, though for those kinds of places we get lost rather than the good times we can't regain. Maybe it is both. The song is certainly about loss and regret.
Kinda a "hiraeth" of sorts - - people and place you can never return to, a yearning that hits too deep for tears most days...Peace.
Steve was my Dad's favorite singer. After we lost my mom this year, this song just tears me up apart every time.
So handsome here ! Love the song, his voice and the music ..the way he plays the guitar !!!❤💃🙏
He's like dressed up ! Awesome
Holy Lord, this guy is amazing...

I wonder how many men are shot through the heart by this song...
One greatest song but sad tear me up inside I hear this song. This song goes out my dad mom because I never got say goodbye. Last years. 2014. I miss her storys about the past.
very powerful comment. I share the same sentiment. Hope you're doing well in 2017
Some songs reach into your soul. This is one.
I thought I was long over the breakup with my fourth wife, but the first time I heard Steve perform this and he got to "Most Novembers . . . " I cried and cried and cried . . . like a water main in my heart just burst.
+Eric Lose Hey Eric, ...the Lord is near to the brokenhearted...& saves those..who are contrite...in spirit! It's a great song tho'!
+Eric Lose Only thumbs down because of your pain :( Take care
FOURTH? No wonder you cried. lol
Hope you are doing better man. Its been 4 years since my divorce and i listen to this and cry. We got married in november so I understand your pain

I would have loved to see him up there.
He played in the indoor museum, or outdoors in the amphitheater??
A masterpiece of music
I revisit this so many times, a beautiful, haunting and lyrical 'goodbye.'
Hauntingly beautiful. This got into my head a few days ago, difficult to get out again.
What an awesome comment. I've loved this song since I first heard. Glad I found this site, just to hear it again.
I know Steve wrote this for his ex wife, Teresa, but it feels like my ex wrote it for me too. Our situation completely. I cry every time I hear this song. Sad beyond belief....
+sophie toronto feel the same..
Well has been married 7 times or something? Goodbyes all we got left to say was on the guitar town album another classic track.
This is really wonderful, thank you so much for sharing it! I've listened to it about a hundred times, & I never get tired of it.

You have a lot of great music to discover! Steve is one of the best we have today.
Good grief!!! That was awesome!!!
Goodbye

If I could never listen to music again except for two artists, it'd be this guy and Christian Kane. Cannot get enough of either of ma hardcore troubadours.
Goodbye, Fort Worth Blues,
My Old Friend the Blues my Steve Earle top 3.
Fort Worth Blues is a great, beautiful, and fitting elegy to his pal and 'mentor', Townes Van Zandt. :)
probably the best record his ever done - always in reach !!! thanx for posting !
such talent...love ya, Steve! Love this song!
This one gets me every time . Thanks Steve
I love this song. It was on a mix some bartender friends gave me, and I didn't know who this was then. But the lyrical content was right on time- moved in with friends 4 states away after a breakup. Almost fell over when I heard this.
Very emotional song , tearbreaker . Very beautiful ! Many thanks !
Amazing!
Always have loved that tune....... and many other of yours also... Got that John Prine thing..... thanks
awesome! such feeling!
I just love this. I must also say that I just love Richard Thompson who is so articulate and soulful and who would embelish this song to perfection but could still never touch the purity with experise that something like a song can ever hope to reach, although he could and does but i just love richard thompson and i love this too
an unbelievable talent and an unbelievable song. superior.
Amazing song. Was my mom’s favorite.
Greatest apology ever written. By maybe America's greatest songwriter...
I love this song . I love guitar town also. Most of all I love Steve Earl . I've seen him twice here in Canada. Back in the drug yrs. Wow . Great show.!! I've started to but a few vids on TH-cam . Stop by if ya can . ;)
the best ive seen steve in years.i remeber him in hamilton one year.partying with the club.
HE WAS NOT ARRESTED FOR WHAT HE DESERVED BY A LOT OF PEOPLE BUT HE WAS AND STILL IS A VERY GREAT SINGER AND SONG WRITER I HAVE EVER TAPE HE HAS HAD ❤LOVE STEVE EARLE 🎉🎉🎉❤
@tailesill4 so very true, that! This song makes me miss my ex so much. Even after all these years. I dont know if its him i miss or just who we were back then. Leaving him was probably the smartest thing i ever did, and it was also the stupidest.
When the harmonica hits, it hits hard.
Beautiful song !!!
how can something so simple touch the trust of eternity in all our souls
Gracias por mostrarnos como llora una guitarra y una armonica cuando no se quiere decir adios.
Great song. Great performance. Steve has had his battles over the years. Which gives him the scars to write and perform good music. I've seen comments about his politics.

Beautiful version of a great song
@Londonsson great show, great song, good art finds itself and its fans
This is maybe Steve's finest performances & IMO, maybe one of the finest performances ever done, by ANY musician.
This song, so much, reminds me of Bea. We miss you.
A better woman, society never knew.
My My what a song ......some people just have it. Beautiful does not touch this .....this is unreal...
It's from his best CD ever -- period. Amazing collection.
@buckyk4tt Thanks brother for taking the time to explain! Love the song and though I cant really play that well im learning this! : )
