Rodney Crowell - I Know Love Is All I Need Lyrics

One of the very best songwriters and storytellers ever.

idk this is getting spooky for me i dream about same song and i googled and the first thing he says he actually dream about it too ? wth is going on with my life !

"Sorrow and solitude, these are the precious things"
Townes Van Zandt

everytime I hear this song I know why I love Rodney crowells songs
I have been fortunate enough to see him live in melbourne at a small pub venue, I have a autographed poster he signed for me .
I know this song will especially touch my heart when my mum passes away
Julian

hi coral...roblox...no...just me OK...

I listened to this song when my parents died

Becky Kinney 🕯
played this at my father's funeral reception, '12...

I have listened to this a thousand times and I cry every damn time.

This is a beautiful song

an artists artist, this man is in league with Cash, prine, hank sr, other writer/singers

read rodney's "chinaberry sidewalks" and you'll
love this song even more.  this man is a master

Good book, gives insight. Many of his life experiences are in his songs.

 Note to self! A year  later & things haven't changed all that much.  Can do without a repeat of last year.  A  better outcome seem possible !

Genius come to mind

Yes, simply just awesome....

one of his loveliest songs. Rodney is one of our greatest songwriters because he brings his life into his songs, and they resonate with truth and grace. great post!

I knew Rodney when I lived East when Houston was a younger "town".Always had a gift for gab,a transistor radio,and Jesus Christ ! his faith worked.What alot of great songs!I am grateful to know he is the the author of some of my very favorites.Summer nights were spent outdoors at the drive-ins,Sunday bar-b-q's,Church,and friends and family.I am proud of you for working so hard,Rodney. Sandra

the more I listen to this, the more I love it

Sadness & loss. We endure it. What's the alternative?

If by 20 you meant ever I coud not agree more. If you grew up in Houston in the 60s and do not have this CD you should have to move to Dallas

Beauty Is Beautiful...... Angels singing......H-Town ....

I know the chords he is playing but does anyone know or have a link to the exact travis picking pattern he is using? Is it just a standard 4 string pattern?

my gma just died and it was 6 years after gpa i slept in the house so full of family and life with my mom the other night the house was so quiet ,,, my mother so sad i said mom did you ever think in our life we would be the only two sleeping in this house.... i watched her finally sleep and i sang this is my mind until i fell asleep.

I grew up on Telephone road Just a few miles from where Rodney did. He is 10 years older so I never knew him but it is amazing to me how similar our lives were. That is except for his musical talent. I play alot of his songs which is easy. He wrote so many beautiful compositions that he will always be my favorite.

First time I heard this song was at Rodney's Nottingham (UK) Rock City concert when he was touring The Houston Kid with Will Kimborough. You realise on first listen what a fascinating and beguiling number it is. The perfect way to round off the album. Those are killer opening words: 'So I'm an orphan now, out here on my own.' Looking forward to the Chinaberry Sidewalks tour coming to England.

It doesn't get any better than this ...glorious stuff ....

@koenan1 Me too,

beautiful :)

Thanks to Fresh Air for bringing this poignant song and thoughtful songwriter to so many new ears (mine included!).

Almost too good!

A truly wonderful song ,this artist is so underrated in this crap era for music surely the worst ever.

Rodney was the BEST concert of 2010....I may never see a show as special and wonderful as the show he performed in Columbia, Missouri USA. OUTSTANDING!

A lovely song.

For a few years Rodney would close his show with this song.

I never wanted a Rodney show to end.

Thank you for sharing.

@Ze18613
I agree with you Ze, It's a truly great record.

@TheSteved1 On the last 10 years? Please name a few albums

Beautiful. Thanks a lot.
Houston Kid is one of the best albums of the last 10 years.
