Todd Snider, "Too Soon To Tell" 

"I wish I could show you how you hurt me in a way that wouldn't hurt you too". What a line.

This song has killed me since the first day I heard it. "I want to trust you buddy but you're clearly keeping secrets from me" Thanks Todd and thanks to AmerSongwriter

This performance gives me chills every time I hear it; and all the lovely comments warm my tired soul. Good people out there.

The entire song is one instant classic line after another. Wow. Every line.. damn

I think I just found my new favorite song of all times

"At the fortune tellers' on the second floor, in bright red letters hangin' off the door... it said 'closed'! I think it might've been some kind of sign." Best line ever!!!!!

I can't believe that someone "dislikes" this. It's one of the best songs written by anyone in a long time. Viva La Todd!

Ijust love this this artist ,he is nothing less than magic to my lifes ears and has been for 20 years already, My god ,(TIME FLYS)

one of the great musicians and stories he's definitely in a class with Dylan, Jerry jeff&,John prine ,,that's class ,

Todd is sooo smart. He's an acquired taste, once you do, he's amazing. Seem him live, great show.

I find new reasons to love this man every. damn. day.

I'm consistently floored by the gold falling from this guy's tongue. What a lyricist. Awesome... in the truest sense of the word.

Heard this song on the radio yesterday, I've lost count of the times I've watched this! Amazing!

Yes he's an underated poet and musician , he would fit right in my back yard ,fire,bbq, &guitars

That's some of the best song writing I've heard since Neil Young. The chorus of "I wish I could show you how you hurt me in a way that wouldn't hurt you too", man I've thought that a thousand times in my life but could never put it in words. New fan here for sure!

Good song, huh. Happy birthday Thank you

Todds been cranking out great songs for years now, i can sit and listen to him tell you a story and then sing you a song about the story for hours and sometimes i do.....Thanks for the music

This is still one of the best videos on youtube.

Sweet Jesus, thanks Todd

My favorite version. So many great lines in one song. Thank you todd! One of my favorite music performances. 💪✌👍. You are fuckin bad ass on so many other songs. Much love!!!!

He's a genius song writer. Love him.

You have to be a certain age to appreciate this music. No young person is ever going to feel "you too will wake up one morning with a lot more memories than dreams".

This is golden 😊 thanks

I so LOVE this version way more then the "official" published one on iTunes! Wish we could buy it!

Pure perfection. Devine. Clever. Inspiring. Thank you.

Damn, thank God this guy came along.

I'm inspired by watching other humans at work - especially when they clearly know what they're doing.

He is just so fucking good.

I can see 13 thumbs down. Those 13 people have a very bad taste in music! I love this song!

One of his best. This version. Yes.

Masterpiece. One of those days (u had a great moment) and these lyrics are some of the best ever. Amazing

Todd,Listin to Todd Snider at the clubs with my beautiful daughter Trinia,was some of the most enjoyment that IVE HAD ON THIS EARTH,

HOLY SHIT! Go Todd! Awesome lyrics.

this guy just told my story

Breathtaking.

Mighty fine video of a quirky-American-original GENIUS!!!

Been a fan for awhile now but this is the first time I've heard this one. Great!

That's my man Todd😎

Holy shit 😳

Love this song! It's my new fav!! Also love that one of Malita's paintings is in behind him!!

😊More of this..

Yeah I've listened to a lot of his stuff in the past few months. I didn't realize he was the original artist for Beer Run. I remember that song from Bob and Tom's morning show, way back. Thanks again and Peace!

Wow. Thanks Todd. "Everything in moderation including moderation I suppose." Right on brother.

Great job! Love this song!

Great music song playing guitar

He reminds me of Leonard Cohen in this song. I love it!

You have left an impact on the world. Just know that. Thank you I got a friend who would love to meet you. Time is not on his time. Oh and hi. He is my you got away with it.

Album of the Year. Song of the Year.

Spot on. Can't wait till next Friday to see you live in Indy.

Fantastic

Today Is my off of work ok I like song all time pl love juliet

awesome. great song, and great performance. I actually like this version more than the album cut.

In the coolest section of Hell there's a little bar. Some day, not soon I hope, Todd will be playing there, in a cloud smoke, surrounded by freaks and musicians. Fuck Heaven. I'm gonna hang out there...

chills are telling me to download the album

That is, MR. Songsmith!

fantastic

"At the Fortune Teller's, on the 2nd floor In bright red letters hangin' off the door It said closed I think it might have been some kindof sign" I wish I could say this is one of his best lines ever, and it probably is, but he has too many of them.

Snider Low, grey clouds rollin' over my head I'm walkin' up a hill to get my fortune read I can still take rejection but it does get harder to do I wish I could show you how you've hurt me in a way that wouldn't hurt you too Tennis shoes hangin' from a telephone wire I've got a little money; I could get a little higher I was alright awhile but you know how it goes Everything in moderation, including moderation I suppose I never did like the people where I was employed They was always out to get me 'cause I'm paranoid Now I'm workin' for myself and that don't pay a lousy dime If what we're here to do is learn to forget, I'm gonna need more time It's too soon to tell (too soon to tell) It's too soon to tell (too soon to tell) It's too soon to tell (too soon to tell) by and by It's too soon to tell what's gonna happen to you when you die It's too soon to tell what we'll ever avenge They say that living well is the best revenge I say : 'Bullshit, the best revenge is to win' 'This isn't over, we're going to meet again'

Awesome... as always!

That was fuckin' great!

"Todd puts his pants on one leg at a time just like you and me. Except when he gets in those pants he's fucking Todd snider and we're not which sucks." Christopher Walken

Fuckin' brilliant...love him

Amen !!

so true!

I'm wondering if this particular version is available to purchase (itunes/amazon) as I prefer it over the album one.

Love how they give him the choice of a chair and a stool and he chooses the stool… nothing more Todd Snider

"everything in moderation, including moderation i suppose"

The lyrics remind me of Leonard Cohen.

is this version of this song available for purchase anywhere

Any idea about the tuning and chords?

Lots more where that came from, jhamptonjr.

You are good ok

May have already commented on this but damnit man it's so good, I say bullshit, the best revenge is revenge, fuck you Todd your skills are too nice...once again

i made this walking down a hill in north louisiana

Todd is God

Doesn't sound right when he's wearing shoes.

If you open your ears & shut your mouths sometimes you can capture sounds like these from people like this. Thank you

They say that living well is the best revenge , I say bull shit. The best revenge is revenge .

Still a cool song. Still walking up a hill

Folk punk? I don't think I would have used punk in my description of Todd.

Proverbs 25:2 says something like"God has mysteries & Kings search them out" example Einstein's theory of light bending proved by eclipse of moon.

Hey, would you mind getting super high before you come in to record? “Uh, yeah, sure”

easy open chords. g,d,d minor,a minor

well if youre god almighty then whats with all this mystery id love to trust ya buddy but your clearly keeping secrets from me..

I love you gay ok love Juliet ❤

Is gettin old

Lyrically, you'll go a long way to find a better song!!

Brilliant. Seems a bit scattered. Doesn't he ? I don't think he meant to be humorous. Sounds like he's a bit angry about the reality that he IS gettin. This dude paints a picture like nobody else though, perfect imagery .

What do you mean by leftist, that he speaks out against hate-mongers and corporate greed?

17 million barrels of oil are sold to produce plastic water bottles just consumed in the United States! Plastic Pollution kills...

Yes he's an underated poet and musician , he would fit right in my back yard ,fire,bbq, &guitars

Todd is God

Yes he's an underated poet and musician , he would fit right in my back yard ,fire,bbq, &guitars
