One of the greatest song writers that ever lived

Where are you Cortney? We need your music more than ever

Who’s here in 2024

Rex Bell. Had the Old Quarter in Galveston i believe.

Best song Townes wrote.

Issacwhy?

Think of my ex when I hear this. Good times... I loved that woman... been single since I can't even pretend I'm ready it's been almost three years. She came into my life at a time things were dark.. she gave me hope and a reason to keep on

Rip jte

Ride the blue wind high and free She'll lead you down through misery Leave you low, come time to go Alone and low as low can be If I had a nickel I'd find a game If I won a dollar I'd make it rain If it rained an ocean I'd drink it dry And lay me down dissatisfied Legs to walk and thoughts to fly Eyes to laugh and lips to cry A restless tongue to classify All born to grow and grown to die So tell my baby I said so long Tell my mother I did no wrong Tell my brother to watch his own And tell my friends to mourn me none I'm chained upon the face of time Feelin' full of foolish rhyme There ain't no dark till something shines I'm bound to leave this dark behind Ride the blue wind high and free She'll lead you down through misery Leave you low, come time to go Alone and low as low can be

Wonder why Rex hated this song?

Such beautiful guitar behind those timeless lyrics.🙏🎸

So effortlessly perfect

Everyone recognizes that this isn't a blues, right? It's actually a nursery rhyme.

They didn't need to go so scorched earth for the finish but it keeps me coming back

Ride the blue wind high and free She'll lead you down through misery Leave you low, come time to go Alone and low as low can be If I had a nickel I'd find a game If I won a dollar I'd make it rain If it rained an ocean I'd drink it dry And lay me down dissatisfied Legs to walk and thoughts to fly Eyes to laugh and lips to cry A restless tongue to classify All born to grow and grown to die So tell my baby I said so long Tell my mother I did no wrong Tell my brother to watch his own And tell my friends to mourn me none I'm chained upon the face of time Feelin' full of foolish rhyme There ain't no dark till something shines I'm bound to leave the dark behind Ride the blue wind high and free She'll lead you down through misery Leave you low, come time to go Alone and low as low can be

The second half of this song melts my fuckin face off like Nic Cage

The masterpiece of a true genius. And one who's surely considered an American icon.

Here because of Western As Fuck ❤

Hey Cortney, I found 17 Horses on Spotify this year, and it's been blowing my mind ever since...keep up the great work!! And, Tristen...well...YOU ROCK!

I've given a copy of this album to my sister. I want this song played at my funeral service.

Leaves of grass and last words lol

born to grow and grown to die

This song sounds like me hopping a boat . Or a train.

“You cut cards with Rex he’ll get a 3, you’ll get a 2, yknow what I mean” No Townes, No I do not

Horrible

Alone and low as low can be.

The room gets so quiet.

Rex's Blues, Tecumseh Valley and Pancho & lefty, what an unbelievable trio.

What a tune

Makes my heart weep in contentment . Nobody did it like Townes

This song reminds me of a relationship I trashed ... For my fuck ups only.. She showed me a movie, Leaves of Grass and it had this song in it .. I'll never forget that day... #DayOneFuckUp...

Loved this song since I was a kid..I'm 49

This is probably the most depressing song I've ever heard

This song brings me to tears every time I hear it. I love it , but I can only let myself experience it once in a while. I get too emotional. Truly, this song touches a nerve I never knew I had.

this weird bad feeling comes over me and it is cured when I realize that all I have to do is listen to this song again! 😍

All of Townes' songs, his whole life, they just break my heart.

So much respect creating such innovative expressive stellar gems whilst raising a family. You're an inspiration...so great to hear new stuff from you <3

The poet laureate of Texas

top 4 best townes songs. another clear masterpiece 🙌

Tell my baby I said "so long" Tell my mother I did no wrong Tell my brother to "watch his own" Tell my friends to mourn me none

I’m Rex. I get blue.

Things are dark and something shiny brought me here

I love how emotional he is at the start and he take a a few deep breaths. Spine tingling stuff.

Thank you , so magic and smooth this song

Antes de flaming lips, John Lennon ya los había creado.

Time after time You will forgive me Like an animal in your care But give it time You will outlive me And take the bow back you put in my hair Made a parade of myself in the street outside your house For the New York photographer there I fell for crime, I fell for beauty I fell for you because you're the only one that cared And when I die You can put on costumes In the style of the clothes I wore And sing the songs your lover taught you When you were too young to know That this was what they were for La, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la La, la, la La, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la La, la, la Like some dead relative You will remember me most by my funeral And all the beautiful toasts you made Take back the spade We've both been filling up our days Like we were filling in a grave You let me hang, hang, hang around You put your ribbons in my hair It's in this language that I found I am an animal in your care Animal in your care Animal in your care Animal in your care It's in this language that I've found I am an animal in your care

Best version of the best folk song we have ever hear. woof woof. Sincerely, Guard Dog Records

So so so beautiful. Like so many of us he never could leave the dark behind. The greatest there ever was.

One of my favorites in this old world

Chained upon the face of time
