I'm 71. Sitting here, listening, thinking, shedding tears of days gone by. It's cloudy for me at this moment. I would love to be able to go back the start, one more time...
Without you the world wouldnt be the world. Remember that. This world could never have been what is has been without you. You and your life are an addition to the memories of joy, sadness and lessons to be learned in this life. To have had such an impact is an honor we all have. We just dont realize it until its too late. Make sure you tell them you love them and that all your sacrifices were worth it to see them become who they are now. To see the fruits of all of those long nights at work, all the days away from home, all the stress felt over bills and food money was all worth it.
Just watched The Judge again, and needed to hear with Willie Nelson. Don’t understand the dislikes, honestly. It’s perfect! Lost my daddy in 2017, for a Pancreatic Cancer, and this movie was one of his favorites. I cried rivers watching it now. Oh God, I miss him so much!!! This song makes me cry every time I hear. Who else is here in 2021? March, 2021.
The dislike is because we as humans have lost all our compassion, and humility as a society, i don’t know you from Adam, but my heart brakes for you my friend! Don’t let anyone ever tell you how to grieve, deepest sympathies my friend!
Heard this at the end of a movie back in 2012, my oldest was a few months old and he stopped and listened to the entire song. I immediately downloaded it to my phone(which ya can’t now in the us) I played this song whenever he was sleepy, upset, or sick. Then 2 years later I had his brother and he loved this song. We used to have to travel a lot for my husbands work and I’d have to drive at night by myself with a baby and a 2 year old I kept this sucker on repeat the whole 6/7/8/9 hr drives. My youngest is autistic and this song has gotten us though so much. Like right now he’s sick and he cokes lays next to me and asks for his song. We can only listen to it on TH-cam and this video is his favorite. This song is his comfort song through hard times, overstimulation, thunder storms, sick times, and so much more. Willie covering this song created a major life changer for my family. 🤍
God bless you and your family. My wife and I are struggling with our autistic son. Just like the lyrics say “Nobody said it was easy” . Hope things get better for you ..there are families just like yours and I hope you can take comfort in that. May God give you the strength to continue. 🫡
Lost my son 18 yrs ago was with my daughters when we heard this song.We sat in the car and listened and cried.Lost one of my daughters 2 years ago and tonight I came across this version.My heat is broken but I was blessed to have them.God willing I will see them again.I love you Jeffy and Rachel FOREVER ~Ma
Me too, but I like to think they still are. Think about it this way, you are made from half your dad and half your mom. They live as long as you do. Both my parents are gone, but I take comfort in that, and I believe I'll see them again on the otherside.
When Willie Nelson picks a song to cover he has impeccable taste! He knows the songs that will fit his voice like a glove. The original artists must have mixed emotions though - on one hand so honored to have a legend pick their work to perform, and on the other hand feeling like they just a child, because that song now belongs to Willie!
I absolutely agree! What an honor for Willie to pick a piece of someone’s art that he wanted to give it a go himself!!! I think it’s incredible. Artists and musicians have their own love language. Covering a song is a way of saying that I love your work. I don’t believe there’s a derogatory emotion in that at all. It’s a huge compliment to the original artists.
I feel the same. I remember hearing it the first time. I was in Pittsburgh and it played on the radio. It captured my heart instantly. Years later, my divorce is final and the song brings me such peace. The story of life. The story of self ♥️
Listening to this in 2023.. after hearing it for the first time in the credits of 'The Judge'! Crying my eyes out as I think about my broken relationship with my dad.. this song hits hard! 😢
If I were Chris Martin I would so honored by this. To have a legend do such a beautiful cover of a song I wrote. Screw the haters, Willie knows what's up.
I'm a Coldplay fan and I'm certainly no hater. I checked the comments to this video and I can't find any haters. Coldplay's fanbase gets a reputation of being only a bunch of teenage girls that can't appreciate anything other than what they're used to, and I don't think that accurately reflects how Coldplay fans really are. As a Coldplay fan I can confirm Willie did this good justice.
Ode todeodorant When I first found this version I remember people saying he butchered the song,don't know if that's still around tho.But I just looked thru the comments and found one person saying "this version is autotuned to hell" and that it sucks.A third person just plainly said it sucks.
My dad made me listen to that whole damn song. And its all about personal preference, a song is good by what it means and a singer is good by how many people choose to listen. im one of the few who don't like this specific singer so don't listen to me.
My dad has fought stage 4 prostate cancer for years now. Lived way past our expectations and every expectancy limit. He was diagnosed with ALS last week. It hurts.
Does not one thing about Willie Nelson that is vulnerable I know him at one time I lived with her for 7 months are no he's not vulnerable at all he's a scumbag
To my adored son; Losing you took the roar out of my lion heart, the sun out of my sky...I am not capable of understanding why you were taken away so young, I cannot express to the universe enough how meaningful, amazing and good you were, now everyday is cruel...it’s brutal, your absence is like an elephant on my chest...I miss you, Oh god, I miss you so much! I have accepted life gets no better than the 20 amazing years, I was blessed with you. I promise to honor your life and one day sweet boy, I will hold you again...I know you are with me because I wouldn’t still be here if you weren’t. Lifetimes of Love...Mom💔 •Kyle David StrIckland• 6/17/97~1/21/18
I have 3 kids, ages 12, 10 and 8, and your comment hit me in the chest like a wrecking ball... I cannot begin to imagine that pain, and how it will never leave you, and it halts my breath to think of your words about your son... no parent should ever have to bury their child... I usually don't comment online, but I am so incredibly sorry for what you've lost and what you will have to carry with you... I cannot imagine any scenario where you can find a fraction of peace, and that is truly tragic. Yours is the definition of heartbreak...
I was almost crying, and than i read your comment..have just moved to the neighboring room. I am who I am ... you are whom you are, That which we were to one another, We will always be. Call me by my name. Speak to me like you've always did. Don't use a different tone ... Don't take that look; solemn or sad. Continue to laugh at that which made us laugh together. Pray, smile, think of me, pray for me. Let my name be pronounced at home, As it always was, Without pomposity or gloom. Life is still the same, It is what it always was The string has not been cut. Why should I be away from your thoughts? Just because I am away from your sight? I am not far, just on the other side of the road.. You see, every thing is fine ... Wipe your tears and cry no more. SAINT AGUSTINE
I felt this. I was the same. Always waited for him to make the effort. He's been gone for 9 months now. Kinda wish I just made the effort myself. Just make a call. Good or bad you'll have that memory. It's better than a "what if" like I have.
I lost my girl a year ago. It was then we said our last goodbyes. The most beautiful girl in the world. Willie's voice is the most beautiful voice in the world. This song makes me cry. I miss her so much. Just saw Willie a week ago. Been going to him for 42 of my 44 years on this earth.
Maybe because if you normally like his music you recognise that this recirding is overproduced. You clearly hear vocal comping and auto tune and that's not what Willie Nelson's music is about at all.
It's my dad's anniversary today 19 years without the best man on the planet 🌏 so blessed to be your bhoy rip Bobby this song just sums up the way I am feeling today
Lost my pops almost a year ago. Going tomorrow to see him for memorial day. This song brings a mix of happy tears. Thank you Willie. RIP SSGT John Bush 173rd Airborne
I came to this after watching The Judge and felt same way with what Hank Palmer felt when seeing his father passed away. My oldman is sick now and I'm feeling depressed of what's going to happen to him..
Willie has been a part of my life as long as I can remember. My mom was an avid follower of his entire career. I cannot make it through this song without losing it, I miss her so much and Willie brings her back everytime....God bless you you ol hippie, thanks for the tears...
I listen to lots of folk punk, rockabilly, alt-country but there's nothing like Willie Nelson's voice or the man himself. Old country is great sh... stuff. Willie is the best of it. 🤘🏻
I fell I love withWillie in 1961 while recovering from Scarlett and rheumatic fever and on the weekend he would play at panther Hall, Fort Worth and yes Chris probably is very honored with Willies cover. Willie I am 63 survived a liver transplant and still will dream about hugging you. Sometimes when’s it really hard, I lays in my bed and get my head rite and crawl in your arms and you sing to me. I will always fantasize about this, not in a sexual way, He just has always been there for me. I own your first album and once in a blue moon I allow it to be spun, it has all your first and how I cherish this. I hope you are feeling good. When you can me to the Smoky Mountain area I will call me see ya
I challenge you not to shed a tear and get swept up in this beautiful cover Willie really brings these great lyrics to life properly. Absolutely heartfelt and beautiful. The way his voice changes this song leaves me choked up. amazing.
I agree, it takes on a whole new meaning when he sings it due to his age, his experiences and thinking about the past. Just my thoughts...but, gotta love Willie.
@Willie Nelson 🔵 my Nana Agnes Dobbins was your biggest fan and she was my best friend. She passed in 1999 and when I hear your voice it connects me to her. I've been listening since I was a baby. I love you Willie.
My wife's dad passed last night with liver failure. I got the phone call last night, and we both broke down. We knew this time is coming but never truly prepared. There isn't enough time in a day with your family. Everyone sees their parents as invincible . When he took his final breath my wife was looking right at him. Tell your parents how much they mean to you because you never know when it will be the last time they'll say it back.
You're right. There isn't enough time in a day with your family. There are so few people who know who you really are and accept you for you. This song breaks my heart, i wish i could go back.
Raine512 I’m 16 as well my g and I just wanted to let you know I understand what your going through. I have lost many animals, family members, and friends in this life time. This song aswell as the song “everything” and the song “promise” both by Ben Howard have helped me throughout those tough times.
One of the hardest things to do in life is to make that decision to put your dog to sleep. sleep tight my missa girl and wee dino and busta my black lad and 2 Staffordshire bull terriers great memories of you all
The one and only E.J.Z Just now being able to be “ okay” haha tonight I’ve been a mess for some reason. :( im sorry for all you’ve been through. Same with me many animals I’ve loved and family. This life sucks sometimes. But we have so many good times too. ❤️
Div Anderson Yes it is. My dog got ran over years back. And we had to have her put down. My boy that recently passed away, passed away in his sleep. It’s killing me :( we have another old dog and I know she’s getting near the end. :( I’m sorry for your loss also. Life sucks sometimes.
My 12 year old cat just passed yesterday, I know exactly how you feel and I sympathize with you. I’m having a crappy day, but I know time heals the pain.
The context of the lyrics from both Hurt and The Scientist are changed coming from legendary musicians like Cash and Nelson. Both did these covers as elders. The meaning of these lyrics, written by young men, are altered when sung by wise old men.
My husband of 19 years recently got an amazing promotion, which takes him away most of the year. This song plus my wine and whiskey are what gets me through my lonely days and nights.
In that inimitable voice always smelling of nicotine and broken heart, Willie Nelson demonstrates the art of holding a song before releasing it, like a fish you catch and slowly let go. His version of The Scientist grows like a sad bubble in your throat until the pain becomes a escape hatch from the past. Drink this song like the last drop of whiskey and let memories of a woman you have loved and lost wash over you.
It's like his voice is crying as he sings it, he sings this with a bleeding heart and u feel every word as it's meant to be felt. I always go back to the start at the beginning if I can't find my way out of some funks that I've been in and I always say I have to go back to the beginning and try again to see why im feeling this way. ..it works like he says it's amazing and it tears your heart out when he sings. Hail willie Nelson
This song was so hard to hear after my boyfriend passed on...it still makes me cry ❤he was the first nice guy that entered my life🌻...was a great man...he died too young 31...I miss him...he is my angel now😇 We loved each other so so much❤
Greatest American folk hero of all time! Proud have still be living while this legend is still doing what he was put on this earth for!! Love you Willie
I fell in love with Willie and music and his very athletic and beautiful different voice it's what separates him from all the others I was 15 I'm now 58 love you Willie fan 4 life
I heard this as I was changing channels, and Willie's haunting voice and the mournful steel guitar, stopped me in my tracks! This song came into my life at the exactly perfect time.
Heard cold play on the radio yesterday and I just decided to look up your song Willie. Your songs have so much soul. I watched you at the State fair in Oregon probably in 1987? Also seen you in a second concert. Your songs were a part of my life. You are a legend,such beautiful music.
I just sent this song to my 87 yr old father who lost his wife (my Mother) of 63 years. I lost her Sept 14th, 2021. Almost one year now. While she was on hospice the last year he had to give her breathing treatments every 5 hours and manage all her medications, cook for her, do the wash and clean the house as well as wait on her (constantly). He would just look at me and say " do you think it's easy". I never knew two people more in love and dedicated to each other than my Mother & my Father. He is lost without her and I can't even imagine the pain and loneliness in his soul. Hard part for me was that they live in Indiana and I in TX and I didn't get home in time to say goodbye and my Father is so far away from me. Best parents in the world. Love you both with all my heart & soul. Karen, your 1st born.

Never! The BEST is yet to come!!
Not as old, but same effect I'm sure many others feel also brother..
Without you the world wouldnt be the world. Remember that. This world could never have been what is has been without you.

I hope you’re still hanging around and you’ve had some sunny days since commenting
He can sing anything.. people
Between Johnny Cash covering Hurt and Willie Nelson covering this, we need to make old country legends covering songs across genres a thing.
YES we do!!
Certainly.
Amen!! 💯💯💯
Better do it quickly.
Loretta Lynn does a great duet with Jack White from the White Stripes called Portland. More modern and up-tempo then this, but still on theme.
Willie’s voice is like an old worn record, wobbling on the turntable. Familiar and nostalgic. Perfect.
Just watched The Judge again, and needed to hear with Willie Nelson.
Don’t understand the dislikes, honestly.
It’s perfect!
Lost my daddy in 2017, for a Pancreatic Cancer, and this movie was one of his favorites. I cried rivers watching it now.
Oh God, I miss him so much!!!
This song makes me cry every time I hear.
Who else is here in 2021?
March, 2021.
OMG, I did too... sorry for your loss.
Literally me right now

it is the judge!

My wife and I are struggling with our autistic son. Just like the lyrics say

Hope things get better for you ..there are families just like yours and I hope you can take comfort in that. May God give you the strength to continue. 🫡

The movie is THE Judge with Robert Duval & Robert Duval. Just watched it for the first time😢

It's been so long, mom. I really hope heaven is as beautiful as you are. 💧💔🙏😊
thnaks for posting this i do'nt know who u are but this what i need to read right now may god bless you
The Judge got me here. Lost my Father and this has calmed my sorrowful tears. Miss you Pop. Think of you always.
Such an underrated movie. Have watched it many times. Still brings tears to my eyes each time.
The Judge also got me here. Sorry for your loss. I also lost my dad.
Me too !
Such a great movie!
I come here over the years because it is my hearts song for my dear departed mother
I wish my dad was still here.
Me too, but I like to think they still are. Think about it this way, you are made from half your dad and half your mom. They live as long as you do. Both my parents are gone, but I take comfort in that, and I believe I'll see them again on the otherside.
Me too
I know ❤
Gone but not forgotten 😢
Absolutely, Love you dad one day you'll hold me in your arms again 💕🥃🌊🔥🍻🍻
When Willie Nelson picks a song to cover he has impeccable taste! He knows the songs that will fit his voice like a glove. The original artists must have mixed emotions though - on one hand so honored to have a legend pick their work to perform, and on the other hand feeling like they just a child, because that song now belongs to Willie!
I absolutely agree!
What an honor for Willie to pick a piece of someone’s art that he wanted to give it a go himself!!!
I think it’s incredible. Artists and musicians have their own love language. Covering a song is a way of saying that I love your work. I don’t believe there’s a derogatory emotion in that at all. It’s a huge compliment to the original artists.
Watch over me dad, it’s crazy down here
💔 This is one of the most Beautiful covers I have ever heard Willie hit my Soul with this thank you Willie 💕 Love you my Brother 🎸🎶🎸🎶
This version of 'The Scientist' is undoubtedly one of my favourite songs in the world. Words fail me. Hauntingly beautiful!
I feel the same. I remember hearing it the first time. I was in Pittsburgh and it played on the radio. It captured my heart instantly. Years later, my divorce is final and the song brings me such peace. The story of life. The story of self ♥️
Perfectly said
"haunting" is the correct word.
This also has become my favorite song. Makes me think of my wife that passed away. RIP Jennifer Speer I Love You!!!
Love this🎉I heard it on a movie first time
Last night
The judge
Get it to watch!Some deep thinking here 🎉
Listening to this in 2023.. after hearing it for the first time in the credits of 'The Judge'! Crying my eyes out as I think about my broken relationship with my dad.. this song hits hard! 😢
I imagine Willie doesn’t waste the last days of his life. He only sings what matters to him now.
To the love of my life if only i could go back to the start
If I were Chris Martin I would so honored by this. To have a legend do such a beautiful cover of a song I wrote. Screw the haters, Willie knows what's up.
if I were Coldplay I'd just give Willie the rights to this song. hahaha no but seriously he covered this extremely well
I'm a Coldplay fan and I'm certainly no hater. I checked the comments to this video and I can't find any haters.

Ode todeodorant well I domt recall coldplay having teenage girl fans lol it's mostly adults. Teenage girls like other things like migos lmao
Hello!
Willie Nelson wrote the song; Coldplay covered it.
Coldplay must feel so honored to have such a legend cover their song.
This "legend" sucks
His voice is like nails on a chalk board
@@xyler017 to each their own, but there's no need to be such an ass about it
Sorry that anger wasn't directed towards you personally my baf
My dad made me listen to that whole damn song. And its all about personal preference, a song is good by what it means and a singer is good by how many people choose to listen. im one of the few who don't like this specific singer so don't listen to me.
The pain and the wisdom in his voice. You can feel it. That’s what makes it so special. Imperfectly perfect.
My dad has fought stage 4 prostate cancer for years now. Lived way past our expectations and every expectancy limit. He was diagnosed with ALS last week. It hurts.
It's the vulnerability of his voice that makes this so beautiful.
That’s the fucking man right there
HELL YES🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠
Does not one thing about Willie Nelson that is vulnerable I know him at one time I lived with her for 7 months are no he's not vulnerable at all he's a scumbag
You have no idea what you’re talking about
Damn what a great observation! ❤
the film "The Judge" brought me here. I love this song and i love this version!
This is one of the best recordings ever to exist.
One of the few covers that is so much better than the original.
To my adored son;
Losing you took the roar out of my lion heart, the sun out of my sky...I am not capable of understanding why you were taken away so young, I cannot express to the universe enough how meaningful, amazing and good you were, now everyday is cruel...it’s brutal, your absence is like an elephant on my chest...I miss you, Oh god, I miss you so much!
I have accepted life gets no better than the 20 amazing years, I was blessed with you. I promise to honor your life and one day sweet boy, I will hold you again...I know you are with me because I wouldn’t still be here if you weren’t. Lifetimes of Love...Mom💔

Call me by my name.
Speak to me like you've always did.
Don't use a different tone ...
Don't take that look; solemn or sad.
Continue to laugh at that which made us laugh together.
Pray, smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be pronounced at home,
As it always was,
Without pomposity or gloom.
Life is still the same,
It is what it always was
The string has not been cut.

Just because I am away from your sight?
I am not far, just on the other side of the road..
You see, every thing is fine ...
Wipe your tears and cry no more.

May Almighty God bless and console your poor broken heart. I am so sorry for your loss.
Very beautiful said . . .
This is the most beautiful version of this song ever made
This song was introduced to me by a good friend that i lost. Sitting here looking at the river, listening to it and thinking about him.
I’ll say it again there’s nobody sings like Willie Nelson. Fantastic
Willie Nelson is the real thing - pure artistry and heart, zero pretense.
Hello, So sorry for the infringe on your privacy. Beautiful song. How are you?
@@davidholton9667 ciao David! 🙋♀️😍😘❤️🎄
No matter how many times I listen to this, It still stirs the body and the soul. The best cover!
@marcosbryant8646ciao Marco!🙋😍😘💘🍀
Me and my dad had such a rough childhood. Im crying, but here I am, leaving him on read for months. I wish i could forgive him.
Forgive him, life will be better when you do. We never know our parents trials
I felt this. I was the same. Always waited for him to make the effort. He's been gone for 9 months now. Kinda wish I just made the effort myself. Just make a call. Good or bad you'll have that memory. It's better than a "what if" like I have.
At this point. It’s your fault. Fix it.
Just watched a movie called "the judge". Thanks to it, I found this amazing cover.
That is how I found this too. My Mom listened to Willie Nelson so I grew up listening to him.
I lost my girl a year ago. It was then we said our last goodbyes. The most beautiful girl in the world. Willie's voice is the most beautiful voice in the world. This song makes me cry. I miss her so much. Just saw Willie a week ago. Been going to him for 42 of my 44 years on this earth.
Feel you, I'm sorry you're hurting as much as I. Never thought it be this hard. But it is. Take care my friend
Ditto, my friend. I'm sharing this with her because I'm a hopeless romantic.
Brings tears to my eyes everytime Willie nails it in so many ways
always haunting
❤
yes, yes he does!!!!
dear God. just bawled my eyes out. nobody in the world like willie. always loved this song now i love it more
My Dad died of Alzeihmers the scene in the shower was so very real ,,, made me cry in the theater,,,
😭😭🙏🏻🙏🏻
May your dad be at peace now. Too sad 😢
I understand. I helped my father through his dementia.
I am truly amazed at how much more emotional this song is when interpreted by Willie Nelson ❤️
Just like Johnny cash covering in my life by the Beatles. JC made it a new song altogether by the sadness and wisdom in his voice..
Wow i agreee with you 💯 😎 💯 😎 💯
I'm questioning the 1.4K dislikes. the melody, the lyrics, and his old voice touches every inch of my soul
Im questioning why you pay attention to yt reactions.
Maybe they have no souls or they are lost souls
They're imbeciles. Plain and simple.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Maybe because if you normally like his music you recognise that this recirding is overproduced. You clearly hear vocal comping and auto tune and that's not what Willie Nelson's music is about at all.
Beautiful. Love this man.
It's my dad's anniversary today 19 years without the best man on the planet 🌏 so blessed to be your bhoy rip Bobby this song just sums up the way I am feeling today

I’m so blessed to have had Willie Nelson playing in the background of my childhood

Coldplay and Willie, they both have a different style and both are awesome!!!
Willie nailed it here. He country-fied it, Beautiful song
I pray this video never leaves TH-cam
I fell I love withWillie in 1961 while recovering from Scarlett and rheumatic fever and on the weekend he would play at panther Hall, Fort Worth and yes Chris probably is very honored with Willies cover. Willie I am 63 survived a liver transplant and still will dream about hugging you. Sometimes when’s it really hard, I lays in my bed and get my head rite and crawl in your arms and you sing to me. I will always fantasize about this, not in a sexual way, He just has always been there for me. I own your first album and once in a blue moon I allow it to be spun, it has all your first and how I cherish this. I hope you are feeling good. When you can me to the Smoky Mountain area I will call me see ya
I challenge you not to shed a tear and get swept up in this beautiful cover
Willie really brings these great lyrics to life properly. Absolutely heartfelt and beautiful.
The way his voice changes this song leaves me choked up. amazing.
Well sorry but we are wrasslin' this week
The way his voice changes this song leaves me choked up. amazing.
Jarret C I think the acoustics really changes this song for sure
His voice cries when he sings is the only way I can describe it
Jarret C, I agree. Also, the voice, his age and the experiences he's lived that comes out and makes it so powerful.
This is one of the best Willie Nelson's songs I heard, I'm not a big country music listener, smooth jazz is my thing, but I really like this one.
Lost my dad to cancer 5 years ago. This song hits home ya know.
lost mine in 92 to cancer still hurts every day
I lost my dad to cancer 4 years ago. Willie was one of my dads favorites, everytime I hear him it takes me back.
I am soo sorry. I know tge feel. Stay strong my friend
may he rest in peace
Yes I do. Sorry for your loss.
I'm speechless with tears rolling down my face
that's the way i felt on que last line in "Just Breath".
True emotion and feeling in his voice, can literally feel the passion in his voice, best cover of this song I've heard to date
This song takes on a whole knew meaning when he sings it.. chills all over. Damn, Willie.. making have the feels
Willie's the only one left that can do that...kris is still here too but hes acting
I agree, it takes on a whole new meaning when he sings it due to his age, his experiences and thinking about the past. Just my thoughts...but, gotta love Willie.
I heard this while watching The Judge. This was when I really heard and felt the words! Love this....
Is it just me or do everything you hear Wille's voice does your body tingle all over? I love this man!
so many goose bumps...
@Willie Nelson 🔵 my Nana Agnes Dobbins was your biggest fan and she was my best friend. She passed in 1999 and when I hear your voice it connects me to her. I've been listening since I was a baby. I love you Willie.
I swear he could sing about dog poop and people would want some. The man is amazing true legend
Just lost my dad this song brings back emotions of my childhood and being from Texas growing up on Willy Nelson is just amazing
If Willie Nelson sings it: it's a great song.
Okay, not only can Willie sing "Pearl Jam" he can sing "Coldplay". Not bad for an 80+year old man. Willie, you the man!
My wife's dad passed last night with liver failure. I got the phone call last night, and we both broke down. We knew this time is coming but never truly prepared. There isn't enough time in a day with your family.
Everyone sees their parents as invincible .
When he took his final breath my wife was looking right at him.
Tell your parents how much they mean to you because you never know when it will be the last time they'll say it back.
Steven Jung 🙏🌹
You are so right ! I am so sorry for your loss :( Thank you for listening.
You're right. There isn't enough time in a day with your family. There are so few people who know who you really are and accept you for you. This song breaks my heart, i wish i could go back.
That’s so very, very true. Sending strength to you all xx
I’m praying for you ❤️
To anyone going through tough times - Love is the most powerful force of nature ever created. Always keep loving. Never give up. I love you ALL ❤ ✌.
I love you too bro. texting this from my wife's phone mine died
Willie made this one his,,,well done buddy
I'm in recovery, this song is my healer. Willie Nelson thank you from the bottom of my heart. Victoria
Willie is a national treasure. Last of the Legends. Keep on rock'in.
This is probably my favorite cover ever
Me too!
Yes ❤
Absolutely..
This is a stunning cover, blown away
It's so inspiring makes me want to be a better human being. I feel my soul crying when i listen to this. Oh Lord have mercy on my soul....
what a honor to have the great willy nelson cover your song
There is something beautiful about old men singing a young man's song.
My dog that I’ve had since I was 4 (16 now) passed away a few hours ago. This song especially with Willie singing it is helping a lot.
Raine512 I’m 16 as well my g and I just wanted to let you know I understand what your going through. I have lost many animals, family members, and friends in this life time. This song aswell as the song “everything” and the song “promise” both by Ben Howard have helped me throughout those tough times.
One of the hardest things to do in life is to make that decision to put your dog to sleep. sleep tight my missa girl and wee dino and busta my black lad and 2 Staffordshire bull terriers great memories of you all
The one and only E.J.Z Just now being able to be “ okay” haha tonight I’ve been a mess for some reason. :( im sorry for all you’ve been through. Same with me many animals I’ve loved and family. This life sucks sometimes. But we have so many good times too. ❤️
Div Anderson Yes it is. My dog got ran over years back. And we had to have her put down. My boy that recently passed away, passed away in his sleep. It’s killing me :( we have another old dog and I know she’s getting near the end. :( I’m sorry for your loss also. Life sucks sometimes.
My 12 year old cat just passed yesterday, I know exactly how you feel and I sympathize with you.
I’m having a crappy day, but I know time heals the pain.
This song played at the end of a movie, the night my best date left me. It still brings me to tears, because it reminds me of 'us'.
What a voice... masterpiece❤
Willie Nelson did to this song what Johnny Cash did to "Hurt" by Nine Inch Nails. So emotional, it's almost a completely different song.
B F that's your opinion and I stand by my previous comment. Also, I never said anything about this being better than the original.
11cylynt11 would t go that far now
XxXINFUSIONSXxX Well, I go that far. It's my opinion. If you don't agree, that's fine. Goodbye, have a nice life.

The context of the lyrics from both Hurt and The Scientist are changed coming from legendary musicians like Cash and Nelson. Both did these covers as elders. The meaning of these lyrics, written by young men, are altered when sung by wise old men.
Watched The Judges and immediately knew this was Willie. Never heard the Cold Play version til now. Willie owned this one. He made this his own song
Absolutely brillant. Does a phenomenal job. The lyrics are so piercing, passionate - made special by his voice! Thank you sir!!!
I, greatly and thankfully laugh quite a bit for this great song, always thanks
My husband of 19 years recently got an amazing promotion, which takes him away most of the year. This song plus my wine and whiskey are what gets me through my lonely days and nights.
In that inimitable voice always smelling of nicotine and broken heart, Willie Nelson demonstrates the art of holding a song before releasing it, like a fish you catch and slowly let go. His version of The Scientist grows like a sad bubble in your throat until the pain becomes a escape hatch from the past. Drink this song like the last drop of whiskey and let memories of a woman you have loved and lost wash over you.
Wow, what you said!
What a genius comment!
Wow, describes it so well.. this was my song when I was struggling with a relationship, still miss her, still wish it would’ve worked out..
Gee. So beautifully written. Thank you for that.
Well said, sir!
i like this one
Listening to this for you tonight. You know who you are.
I can't help but feel this version is best. So much power behind Willie's voice.
It's like his voice is crying as he sings it, he sings this with a bleeding heart and u feel every word as it's meant to be felt. I always go back to the start at the beginning if I can't find my way out of some funks that I've been in and I always say I have to go back to the beginning and try again to see why im feeling this way. ..it works like he says it's amazing and it tears your heart out when he sings. Hail willie Nelson
A GUT WRENCHING DECLARATION OF DEVOTION - I LOVE YOU ALWAYS, WILLIE
This song was so hard to hear after my boyfriend passed on...it still makes me cry ❤he was the first nice guy that entered my life🌻...was a great man...he died too young 31...I miss him...he is my angel now😇 We loved each other so so much❤
If my wife died I couldn’t go on. Sorry to hear this
Greatest American folk hero of all time! Proud have still be living while this legend is still doing what he was put on this earth for!! Love you Willie
This was an absolute privilege to listen to. Thank you Willie. Phenomenally done.
I fell in love with Willie and music and his very athletic and beautiful different voice it's what separates him from all the others I was 15 I'm now 58 love you Willie fan 4 life
Great Job! I'd love this song.
I heard this as I was changing channels, and Willie's haunting voice and the mournful steel guitar, stopped me in my tracks! This song came into my life at the exactly perfect time.
Heard cold play on the radio yesterday and I just decided to look up your song Willie. Your songs have so much soul. I watched you at the State fair in Oregon probably in 1987? Also seen you in a second concert. Your songs were a part of my life. You are a legend,such beautiful music.
Just You........I came because Anything this Man sings is GREAT..
I just sent this song to my 87 yr old father who lost his wife (my Mother) of 63 years. I lost her Sept 14th, 2021. Almost one year now. While she was on hospice the last year he had to give her breathing treatments every 5 hours and manage all her medications, cook for her, do the wash and clean the house as well as wait on her (constantly). He would just look at me and say " do you think it's easy". I never knew two people more in love and dedicated to each other than my Mother & my Father. He is lost without her and I can't even imagine the pain and loneliness in his soul. Hard part for me was that they live in Indiana and I in TX and I didn't get home in time to say goodbye and my Father is so far away from me. Best parents in the world. Love you both with all my heart & soul.
Karen, your 1st born.
