Clark, Guy - Dublin Blues Lyrics

That's about the only way you can have Hiatt, Ely and Lovett on the stage and they don't need to do a thing other than sit in deference. What a song...Hard to imagine any song that is much better than Dublin Blues. RIP Guy

If you're ever in Austin, do yourself a favor and have dinner at the Texas Chili Parlor. Get yourself a Mad Dog Margarita, and tell them Guy Clark sent you.

Happy birthday, Guy.

9 Bro Country fans were here

Just finished his biography. This is powerful stuff

Didn't even need the band...

Amen True Boyo

So many of the great American poets got weaker in their ability to write as they aged, but Guy weaved tapestries of prophetic prose right up until the day he was laid in the ground. The biggest compliment he ever got was that he was never played much on mainstream radio, because his words, those awe-inducing lyrics, his haunting, crackling ghostly voice, and his beautiful strumming was only truly appreciated by those who could grasp the immense layered complexity within his simple verses. A songwriter could live 1,000 years and not pen as perfect and as heart-wrenching a song as Guy penned with Dublin Blues. It’s all there: immense love overflowing, the pain of staring down old age, of unrequited love, and of the echos of a life so full of beauty and pain that one can simply do nothing but listen in complete silence as he sings. You are dearly, dearly missed Guy!

Beautifuly spoken

Thanks Corey
The older I GET the more I appreciate Guy Clark genius greetings from Dublin Ireland brother and sisters We love singer-songwriter HERE

who are the 3 musicians sitting next to him and awkwardly not playing. I believe that's Lyle Lovett on the far left.

Lyle Lovett John Hiatt Joe ely, they all do theyre on songs then do a couple together at the end

Rap ? Jesus Christ

There's some brilliant rap out there. Don't be closed minded. Check out The Roots.

Bucket list

I make rap music and Guy has influenced me more than almost any rapper

Townes sang a beautiful version of this song. Finger picking makes it sound like a Mississippi john hurt song.

One of the most beautiful songs, sung by a master RIP Mr. Clark

American Masterpiece

classic!

good music from old guy on a friday nitht.

What a great songwriter, lyricist, and story teller Guy was. I can feel his shakes while he sits in the Chili Parlor saloon.

Aren't the shakes in Dublin?

the camera catches Joe's eyes a couple of times when the awe he had for Guy shows

Great writer, great song.

Out of all the musicians that we've lost this year the 2 that have shocked & hurt me the most because they are musical heroes of mine were Steve Young & Guy Clark. Dublin Blues is a perfect album, not a bad song on it, but then again Guy doesn't know how to write a bad song.

agree 100%
guy was a tresuare to this thing called music.

skeetabix36 I didn't know till I read this.
I used to drive around Hill Country in summer with my windows down in 2007 when I was gifted Dublin Blues.
Jesus, I miss Texas sometimes.
