Van Zandt, Townes At My Window Comments
I detect influence on the Eagles
RIP Townes, There s NO ONE LIKE YOU.
May you rest in the finest of sleep Townes Van Zandt.
This is a beautiful performance/recording. I often prefer Townes with just his voice and guitar, that directness and intimacy; the space. However this particular version is delicate, empathetic, ethereal, perfect.
Never heard this version. But there is another that starts with a beautiful violin (look it up, that too is beautiful).
Where is this version from and why does he sound younger than said album?
Awww ~ Beautiful 💙
my new favorite TVS song, so many former favorites
I am so overwhelmed by Townes that it makes me believe that perfection actually exists and it's a slightly weird feeling... listening to Townes is possibly the most desirable thing on this Earth.
I come back to this every few months or so, and have for a while now. I still forget to breathe when TVZ starts to sing this poetry.
I fell across Townes via Three Billboards four weeks ago. I soar and cry when he sings
haunting ~
Don't know why they have Woody Guthrie as writer on this. Wrong ! Writer is Townes Van Zandt !
Do you know what version this is where it came from
THEE DEFINITIVE Version
He was a simple and gentle man with a lot to say. May you Rest In Peace Townes van Zandt.
I was trying to convince my girlfriend that commercial music has no soul, it’s made to sell. I should’ve just turned on Townes instead.
Bad rhymes and fine lines
I think of Townes and beyond other songwriters he could bring you as low as you could and as high as God's love to man on the cross.
This is a great song! Townes knows the right words!
At my window
Watching the sun go
Hoping the stars know
It's time to shine
Daydreams
Aloft on dark wings
Soft as the sun streams
At days decline
Living is laughing
Dying says nothing at all
Baby and I are laying here
Watching the evening fall
Time flows
Through brave beginnings
And she leaves her endings
Beneath our feet
Walk lightly
Upon their faces
Leave gentle traces
Upon their sleep
Living is dancing
Dying does nothing at all
Baby and I are laying here
Watching the evening fall
Three dimes
Hard luck and good times
Fast lines and low rhymes
Ain't much to say
Feel fine
Feel low and lazy
Feel grey and hazy
Feel far away
Living is sighing
Dying ain't flying so high
Baby and I are lying here
Watching the day go by
Thank for lyrics !
I am struggling emotionally. Have had tecumseh valley on repeat. I feel like Caroline.Dreams that didn't come true. Than this song came on. I have never heard.. I was just recently introduced to Townes. I am just in a puddle of tears. This song is beautiful.
Kellticc One of his best.
listen to iris dement imo
your gonna need a life jacket..o r a little boat..... or u will drown..... in the Sea ....that was Townes Van Zandt's soul.....-...i ve been out there for a long time.... in a little row boat....... a bottle of wine, my guitar and a few harmonicas....... i saw land more than a few times ...... but i just decided to stay........ so hello .... wave at me .. if u see out there.......... il play you a song as we pass each other by....
Was about to reply but I saw you posted this over a year ago. Guess all I'll say is that I hope you're in a better place now.
Come to Texas.I will help ya weather the storm.Listening to Townes doing"Two Girls" right now.
This is something. His face was a story itself. May he rest in peace..
May he forever rest in peace.......
"Resolutions floating freely in revolutions,swiftly passing awaiting to grasp.
Fixing without fixating,able to hope to be stable is enough to lay on the table .
Same situation with a similar picture then why do we feel the play needs to be recast ?
Sitting in the chair catching a familiar glare,another day of staring at the old maple.
Finished with reassessments, why make so many changes if they really won't last?.........R.C.
Thanks. Rick western slope Co. Wichita Ks.
Stirs my soul!
Art is an interesting thing, some debate it and sometimes nobody does because it goes without saying. TVZ is so wonderful that if anyone claims otherwise they come off sounding foolish.
a man who had this much talent and passion for music deserved more credit and recognition. it truly is a shame that we r losing great musicains who write their own music. PEOPLE MAY NOT LIVE FOREVER BUT LEGENDS NEVER DIE
agreed...
Thats wonderful J Noll.
I imagine there are many of his works that you wouldnt dare play in front of your child. Just wanted to point out the depth of TVZ artistry.
Well said John
That is my definition also--art makes you feel--
ENORMOUS!!
liagn und lochen
Man he's got me rocking this chair, and I'm gone.
fanatastic
Just great!
Beautiful
"Living is dancing. Dying is doing nothing at all..."
Townes is so good.
So great, so tender, so real.
Having met and admired Townes for a few years, I still do some of his songs in my show. Guy Clark introduced me to Townes in the late 1960s. I will be forever grateful.... J.T.R.
That's awesome! I would have loved to have gotten to meet Townes! Especially would've liked to have had the chance to hang out with him. He seemed like a good fellow, and from years of listening to his song's, I kinda feel as if I do know him. He is certainly one of the greatest songwriters of all time. (And I do mean in the top 2 or 3, if not the greatest!) Very few songwriters are on the same level of lyrics writing as Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen, but that's exactly where Townes is. He was for sure a legend..., a "songwriter's songwriter", and a true poet.
Michael H. I'd say Cohen 1, Dylan maybe 2, tvz conceivably three but just conceivably. Fortunately for us there's plenty of competition.
@Rs 225 I would have Townes right there with Cohen, but that's just my personal opinion. Paul Simon would probably make my top 5 list of lyric writers too.
Yup. Graceland never ceases to amaze me. Let's agree to mostly agree :-)
@Rs 225 Agreed
how can you not like/enjoy townes ?
Mellow and melodic -- can it get any better than this?
one of my favorites
perfect lyrics.. a always by Townes <3
Wow !!!
This is a beautiful-beautiful song !!!
Dankeschön .
Dankeschön ich bin sehr Freude das die Deutschen wissen Townes!
favorite Townes song. yes, I listen while doing dishes, at the sink. just wash up listening to Townes. yes, the stars know it's time to shine.
My favourite too. Well, this and To Live is to Fly...
Reminds me of a line from a Townes song. "The old washer woman has finished her cleaning and gone"
"Quicksilver Daydreams Of Maria" One of the most beautiful songs ever.
For some strange reason I'm closer in musical sense to Guy Clark than to Townes, but nevertheless...these boys are true greats. This song (and this version of song particularly!) is special to me.
time flows--yes--it flows
Fits my day just fine................
townes is the one who makes me listen to something else than dylan
pure soul music
+mario7frankielee you put word´s to my thought´s
this list is subject to change depending on my mood...except for Townes: 1 Townes- 2- Dylan-3-Emmy Lou...- 4 Ryan Adams-Tie- Natalie Merchant- 5 to be continued.......
Townes is the only one who shakes me more than Dylan
Anyone know who does the backing vocals on this track?
Or where it came from
can't put in words what this song does to me
you said it...
This is surely one if the greatest songs ever very emotional and happy all at once incredible
cheers bennie!
Love coming across new people, recently found Townes through a friend..
This is music.. :)
im twenty four... been with my wife for eight years.. finally convinced her to name my son townes
first. victory. ..ever..
and last--but it is a good one
This is so cute.😂💛
Good job, youngblood.There is hope for our youth!
Now that's the motherlode of victories. You don't need any more; Townes was the best. I saw him perform back in the early 1980s. Super glad that a new generation is discovering his talents.
First of many i hope and a excellent choice for a name.
it's originally from the recordings for the unrealesed "Seven Come Eleven" (so around 1974). An album that eventually appeared on CD as "The Nashville Sessions", but that CD is hard to get these days. I have a copy :)
Is that where its from wow? He sounds younger
love it
Bob Dylan begged Townes to play for him in his tour bus
That's such a harrowing, amazing movie.
Thanks for posting this.
Townes being awesome all on his own brought me here.
Dylan probably still listens to Townes.
The version of the "Be Here to Love Me" documentary comes from "The Nashville Sessions" (recorded in 1973). "The Nashville Sessions" = a VERY good album, with better versions of the songs which are on "Flyin' Shoes" (and on "At My Window"). The arrangements are acurate, sparser...
what, a writer? amazing. yea, not a fan of the production much either- too treble, overdone.
Love townes van zandt but really dislike the production on his albums.His songs dont need to be backed up by all these instruments they're good enough as they are.
just love Townes, feel blessed to have found his music
he is heading to hell lol
listen to john hutchinson one last kiss
Well Dylan's album Times they are a changing is one of his primary influences along with Robert Johnson so think about that rabbit hole
listen to john hutchinson one last kiss - last oulaw writer
Thanks for all the responses everyone. For those curious, this particular track is off the Be Here To Love documentary soundtrack. There's some great live versions of some of his best songs and even some cool audio clip interviews. It's real favorite of mine.
You Know, as much as I love Dylan...Oh Townes...I just fell backwards in my office chair.
huge townes fan myself, and haven't heard this before. thanks for the post.
can't wait to hear townes in whatever sort of afterlife may await us.
Just good music people, no need to slam Bob, his is deep too......
I will NEVER hear this enough! Thanks!
Dreamy...drifting off in a feeling.
There´s tears in my eyes...
it's deep.
Jared Followill :)
like this if Jared Followill brought you here!
Jared Followill sent me here :)
@prober45 I'm pretty sure this guys songs are a whole hell of a lot deeper in meaning than Bob Dyan's.l
super! makes me think it's Bob Dylan on heroin, except he can kinda sing.
Livin' in is dancing, dieings doin' nothin' at all.
Thank you for posting this, lifeinvheissu.
a great poet, thanks
