Nelson, Willie - The Maker Lyrics

LOVE Willie’s quote... jukeboxes are powered by nickels and heartache

Please help me! Willie Nelson Teatro by Wim Wenders! Wonderful! Where can I get the entire performance?

I listen, I watch and I smile!

Wow. Never seen this before. Awesome.

One of my favourite songs in this world, but have to admit that I prefer Daniel’s performance of it on his Acadie album. Landis is an incredible musician and performer, not to mention Producer of two of my favourite ever albums in Peter Gabriel’s So and Emmylou’s Wreaking Ball. I would love to meet him!

Emmylou bella y dulce dama. Preciosa voz.

Emmylou Harris the most beautiful woman ever

OK I don't who is the greater producer genus Brian Eno or Daniel - they work together so much maybe they can't tell either - both GENUS. Everything they touch is gold. OH - Willie and Emmylou are not bad either.

Every time I listen to this, shivers run up and down my spine. I love it!!

Great respect for this man....and long live trigger...

This is magic.

Lanois himself on the tele.

This hits me in the gut EVERYTIME I watch it. Oh the talent here!

Still, Willie's best album!

💝😍😀

Not bad for a bunch of beginners.
Is it Darryl Jones on bass. I went to the album and there is no credit for bass players (obviously Daniel Lanois in not playing bass AND guitar here)

nice song with deep meaning...

What? No head-credit for Daniel Lanois, who made it happen?

What a brilliant Interpretation and a great guitar by Composer Daniel Lanois !

I don't believe in God but I have to admit that this song is STUNNING!

Βασίλης Κυριακίδης Don't worry. God believes in you.

I’m an atheist too and have to admit that within the context of the song, it’s a beaut. And it’s a good conversation starter

That's a beautiful song Willie and I think you and Emmylou did a good job actually all of you did a very good job

I never heard this song before you did a good job but of course you always do a good job I love you

The whole band has their cool-guy hats or cool-guy hair! Sounds great though.

Special song!

Perfection!!!!!!

Excellent duo?

Perfect.

The song is beautiful but the sound of the sticks clacking totally damages its musicality. Change the drummer.

A superb cover from the Daniel Lanois song.

I love this arrangement. It reminds me of all the ignorantly oppressed, and I dearly cherish ELH and WN. I am impressed as always with the choice of musicians.

Great. There's Someone somewhere that tell me where I can get the whole video? Please I really love it so much.

This is the whole video. That was the released single of an album called "Teatro".

Parents both passed a few days apart of each other in November, they loved this song. My dad would sing it in Spanish. Thank you Willie.

+mattlion69 I am very moved to hear that and I bet it sounded great in Spanish . Can I offer my sincere condolences too.

+Chris Roberson Thank you so much!!!

+calum morrison It was the most beautiful piece of music I heard. Thank you..very kind of you.

This song has a very special meaning. God bless them for making this song.

Lanois is one of those rare guys who really DOES have something special and different. Had the pleasure of meeting him last year before one of Emmy's shows. Great guy.

Teatro is one of the most under appreciated works of art I can think of. I don't understand how it hasn't become a revered classic.

Cobber l couldn’t agree with you more! I fell in love with it when l was on holiday in Quebec of all places. lol. My friends introduced me to this jewel!❤️

Completely agree.

Actually, Daniel Lanois wrote and released this in 1989 on his album Acadie.

Feel the same, addictive listening

to me, it is.

This is a beautiful  but difficult song for anyone, when you hear Spyboy version with Emmylou, it's like it was made for her. God Bless, ELH.

This was exqui9sitely beautiful.

wicked share, never saw this version. thank you so much!

Soulful deep waters.  Those that appreciate Lanois on guitar here might like Emmylou's live version w/ Buddy Miller's atmospheric guitar and Brady Blades driving on drums.  The album is Spyboy, this the closing number.  Worth a listen!

Great album!

Really?  27 are NUTS!  Q Tips for all of you 27.

Stunning!!!  When these 3 are Gone in Heaven Wow!!!

Three of the best 

I notice Willie sings on the beat, not behind. Sounds great.

I noticed that too. But EmmyLou was keeping a close eye on him ;)

a song that never wearies the weary-hearted.

Brady blade is one kick ass drummer!! There is another version of this on youtube with Lanois and Emmy Lou ... seek it out AMAZING!

Lanois wrote this song.

For God's sake release the entire Willie Nelson At Teatro film on dvd. Why the magnificent Wim Wenders doco is only available on ridiculously priced vas on ebay is a mystery.

Allways Willie.. Beautifull...

In addition to this being just a flat-out great composition, a lot of is propelled by Lanois' magnificent guitar part here.  Lanois adds so much to the artists he chooses to work with.

Not to mention that Daniel Lanois wrote this song.

+Jon McAuliffe There is a textue that Lanois creates with whoever he is working with that no other producer can duplicate. I saw him play for a coupe hundred people and it was simply amazing.

Couldn't agree more!

Yes, great talent recognizes great talent! Not sure why the video is not titled "Willie Nelson, Emmy Lou Harris and Daniel Lanois - The Maker", but Lanois is probably unfazed as many geniuses are under recognized.

love the way emmylou reads or takes her cues from willie when they sing together...absolute talent...

EMMY, the CONSuMATE VOCALIST.

a religious and mystic experience the opening solo

goosebumps every time i hear this wonderful tune. thanks willie and co.

Some truly talented people here singing and playing a song that is a gift from the maker his self! 

what album is this from?

teatro 1998

Brother john have you seen the homeless daughter
That touches myhart

pss get a haircut you look like pippi longstockings or anne of greengables or something...braided ponytails...are you f...ing kidding me...on a dude!

man put down the bong and step away from the timecapsule the 60's were literally LAST CENTURY

MrAdamNTProtester you're a loser:)

PS can someone please tell his 'willieness' to at least try and sing from the diaphram instead of through the nasel cavity...ratbastid...whiiiiiiiiining like a m....f....er

MrAdamNTProtester that's his signature sound, so no, it'll never happen.

"Willie Nelson & Emmylou Harris - The Maker'

PS the guy sitting to wn right is the guy who wrote the song and sings it way better wn absolutely hacks & butchers this song2death

his name is Daniel Lanois...& the only good thing about this version is his guitar work & Emmylou of course shes the bomb...bottomline if ur going to post anything just like with news & facts...reference the source or its palgerism...in this case leaving out DL might not qualify as plagerism but it is totally ignorant

You seem to have horrible tin ears, and I'm certain that Daniel Lanois would agree.

Lanois's magic and legend singers.

dear god, this is the most beautiful rendition of the most beautiful song i've ever heard

Emmy looks stoned in a couple of those shots....

Nobody works as hard as Daniel does.

Love Willie, love Emmylou, this song is perfect for them..... Sorry, didn't work for me. Didn't seem like they were all on the same page. Still love 'em though.

Why bicker,jus be thankfull you have the ability to listen to some of the finest talent the world has seen,and indeed heard,just enjoy

With all due respect to Dave Matthews, Willie Nelson's voice is 5 levels better.

you said it ???? some get it some dont

Oh well! Maybe it's something to do with the presence of ELH for me.

Lanois prays through his guitar...

Sorry bud! Don't agree.
This is one of my all time favourites!

Lanois is golden. Outrageous guitar licks; best I've heard in a long, long time. Also, love how Emmylou pinpoints her harmony with direct eye contact.

That just makes you want to go make some music. So deep in the pocket cant see over it!

το έκανα και αυτό, απάντησα ,σε σχόλιο δικό μου.......όλη νύχτα εδώ είμουν,τι να κάμω ο άμοιρος(βλέπεται πως προσέχω τα λόγια μου...είπα άμοιρος όχι καμμένος............είναι και η μέρα δύσκολη,μου έβγαλε τα πάνω δόντια ο μπεχλιβάνης .........άιντε να σε δει το κορίτσι σου ευτυχώς το δικό μου είναι μακρυά και δεεεεεεεεεεεεεεεν...................

O μεγάλος Ντανιιέλ Λανουά το έχει γράψει και παίζει κιθάρα δίπλα τους,μην ξεχνιόμαστε

just great and.....i love the american people visited 3 times.....yannis

Oxnard, CALIFORNIA!

wow.

that's pretty freaking great.

saw Emmylou and Danny at Farm Aid 2003, hands down the best musical performance I've ever seen

Yeah, you got that right!

Is it just me, or is Emmylou Harris kind of hot?

Absolutely love this video. As expected Willie hits it out of the park on this one.

Impressive performance Willie!

Very cool my friend!

@1959GKevin
The guitarist is Daniel Lanois, who wrote the song.

Emmy's and Spyboy's version is the best!

While I'm not a religious music fan, this song is very powerful, the guitarist, makes this song, first thought it was Stevie Van Zandt, excellent song.

Above and beyond everything about the song--which is of genius and God to be sure--is Willie's attention and dedication to making the song come out as heartfelt and genuine as possible. He and Emmy seem both is awe and transfixed by Mr Lanois and rightfully so...my fav moment is at the very end when Willie looks up and has the "there but for the grace of God go I " look in his eyes--like hes truly thankful to be a part of that song while it was happening.

@spf1410 yup

Emmy is as beautiful and talented as ever. And Willie? Well he's just Willie. Like Waylon said,"He just wants to ride around in that bus and play that ol' beat up guitar."

Love this. I think I read somewhere that Willie's TIMING is special to Willie and I think Emmylou has to keep her eyes on him to be able to keep with him.

12 people are deaf.

Ive allways had a soft spot for Willie, but, Emmylou, Emmylou. Emmylou XXX

@coozamel She is so good have you heard her with Dolly Parton and Linda Ronstadt??? they sound like Triplets...

@123ktkit6 Schmuck.

Jesus... wounderful!

@Navarrethenavman Emmylou does a live version of the Maker on her album Spyboy which is just amazing.
