I swear the Townes view count is increasing rapidly, thank you internet for sharing the greatest songwriter of all time to the world. May his legacy live on forever. He gives me sanity. :)

who needs to keep a diary when you have Townes in your life? Every emotion is documented. I listen to Townes and I'm home.

Townes was a dear friend to me and Wrecks. Wrecks toured with Townes, playing bass or with Micky White. Wrecks and Micky are the Hemmerridge Mountain Boys. We all loved Townes so much and we still miss him very much!

that shirt now resides in my dad's closet, in australia......townes gave it to him before a show. I think he was feeling quite poorly.

It's hard to imagine how one man, with all the personal problems he had, could produce such a catalog of material that has become looked at as his is. Sometimes the lyrics get confusing if you don't know the story or the people behind words, but he wrote so you could attach your own life to them. I guess he is what is called a genius? While most of us writers are trying to write something that an artist would like to record, Townes just wrote what he felt and got it cut anyway. Great stuff!

I cry when I hear this man's songs.. he was definitely awesome singer/writer...

Time flows through brave beginnings and leaves her endings beneath our feet. Walk lightly upon their faces. Leave gentle traces upon their sleep.

Townes and John Denver had so much in common. Born about the same age and died about the same age. Both were bipolar with very high IQs. Both were great singer songwriters who were held in high esteem by so many. Botth were geniuses. Both dealt with drug alcohol issues. Both were born into prominent wealthy families. I believe that if they had not died so early that they would have collaborated together. I am sure they held each other in the highest regard.

We all have demons. Few of us have the talent of this man, or can add as much to humanity.

My favorite Townes Song At my Window! My Uncle was the Engineer on Townes Live at the Old Houston Quarter! He was friends with and worked with the Great Cowboy Jack Clement! He might of helped him with the album that this song came on! I don’t know!

Two great TVZ songs, performed by the man himself. Simply excellent.

Not only a songwriter, but a poet.

wonderful song and music!

A great songwriter who left us too soon.

Just passed thru them Boulder hills now gone. The spirit of TVZ lives..

Thanks for sharing this!

We're lucky to survive this legacy.

My Uncle worked for Jack Clement and they were good friends! My Uncle produced Townes’s Live at the Old Houston Quarter! He recorded with a portable 4 Track! It’s under Tomato Records!

I had a chance to see towns in Raleigh North Carolina back in the nineteen seventies and was unable to go. I regret it to this day

And the lunch was good too. That talented and still genuinely humble.

Townes had such a magical way with words✌️❤️🌻

this is amazing... RIP townes

Townes had such a great sense of humor. Wish I could have met him. He and Marty Robbins are my favorite singer/songwriters.

"At My Window" 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 💙

Singin' along with you Townes, always.

"TVZ, well he died to soon, but now he's...up there with Hank, and their both...fightin them Nashville Blues." - Cory Morrow

I must have been an idiot in 1987. Where the heck was I?

He sure was an amazing writer. I have to laugh at the irony at the end with the announcer saying "we'll be back with more New Country".

Oh caro dolce malinconico townes te ne sei andato via troppo presto .El il tuo amico guy è venuto presto a farti compagnia.per me i piu grandi per i momenti piacevoli che ancora mi date con le vostre canzoni

a modest and honest man who knew life! Genuine Music ! Townes, we'd loved ya Auch wenn er nicht mehr unter uns weilt. Er war, ist und bleibt ein ganz ganz Großer ! Greetings from Northern Germany to all VanZandt-Fans

This man was Godlike yet he did not know it ....

Townes Van Zandt - At my window Из своего окна наблюдаю закат надеюсь, звёздам известно пришло их время сиять мечты дня исчезают на темных крыльях мягко, как солнца поток в убывающих днях Жизнь смеётся над уходящим, это не конец дитя и я расположились здесь наблюдать вечерний закат Время пульсирует в смелых начинаниях а окажется их итог у вас под ногами идите осторожно по их лицам оставляя неглубокий след на их снах Жизни круг для уходящего это не конец дитя и я расположились здесь наблюдать вечерний закат Три пенса за удачу в беспечное время лёгкость строк в чётких рифмах в них не много смысла чувствуя себя прекрасно чувствуя себя подавленно и скованно чувствуя тяжело и мрачно чувствуя оконченным путь Жизнь, как вздох на выдохе не взлететь высоко дитя и я расположились здесь наблюдать, как клонит день к концу
