I'm watching it now!! April. 6th 2024❣️😘 just before the big eclipse, on april 8th!!!! I'm so glad he was my life for it's entirety! On the hifi my mom played it often, while Dad was overseas! Willie your record on the hifi helped me realize life is a challenge, cry with your mom when she needs you to be her friend! We were in Olathe Kansas, dad was navy??? Go figure!!! He did a 3 year tour! Mom in Kansas, with 5 kids, the first 2 we were twins!!! Everytime he came home we'd have a new addition to the family!!! Mom would sit next to the hifi and play your albums all night long!!! She'd cry that dad was gone! At the time I thought she loved you more than him! Thought you'd get a kick out of that!!! Willie I've been a ever life long and beyond person that you helped me thru my hifi years with my aching heart of my mom!!! While Dad was gone!!! Thank you so much!!! Those songs helped my mom to raise us kids! She found solice in singing your songs! I don't think all your songs were out by then!!! HA!!! All I know is you are a treasure, and always in my music box! Love you forever❣️❣️❣️
I am dying of brain cancer and preparing to say goodbye to my children. I have a short list of songs that are both soothing/uplifting and also bring me to tears. I'm adding this to the list. Thank you, Willie.
You’re a national treasure, Willie. Thank you, and your daughter, for recording this song. I’ve played it hundreds of times and thousands left to come.
One of my Dad's favorite bands was CCR. This means as a child growing in the 70's I listened to this song constantly on a loop. My father passed away on 9/18/19, and whilst watching the last episode of season 2 of Big Little Lies this version of the song started to play, and tears just started streaming down my face. What a beautiful rendition of a favorite of mine and Dad's. I can't stop listening or crying. It's a bittersweet song; it truly reminds me of my Dad in good times, and the sad day of losing him.
BEAUTIFUL so sorry for you loss I love my Dad beyond words, he's been gone since 1985....miss him every day. Love what youj wrote it really touched my soul....❤🦋
After my girlfriend heard she had incurable cancer, and the doctor went away, she hardly said almost nothing, but she played this heart touching song for us two, I never heard her playing, but now 2 1/2 years later it still brings me to tears. ❤
Takes chops to cover a Creedence tune and actually kill it! Willie totally kills it. This is amazing. The credibility and wisdom in his beautiful voice brings a whole new vibe to this classic.
Willie I saw you recently on the country music awards Nov.13th, 2019. I have been fortunate to hear your music my whole life. This song that you made with your daughter Paula is absolutely beautiful. What an honor for her to have been able to sing along beside her dad. You are getting well up there in age and I sincerely want to say THANK YOU for your life-long commitment to country music. When you are gone from this earth, you will be sadly missed by more than you will ever know.
Once a Willie fan, always a fan, and how his music takes me back to happy days. Thank Heavens that he still performing, which he was born to do. Hang loose, Willie.
I'm here after crying like a baby because of the S2 finale of *Big Little Lies* . A beautiful rendition by the forever amazing Willie and his daughter, Paula! Simply beautiful.
There two people who can take any song and make it their own, no matter what the genre or tempo, Ray Charles is one and the other is Willie Nelson, I am absolutely in awe of both of them ♥
Willies version of 'always on my mind' is the best most honest & pure version ever, he can sing anything so effortlessly & yet create maximum effect. LEGEND.
Willie Nelson is nothing but an old, pot smoking, Hippie Bar fly left over from the 1960's! It is amazing how this guy still has any functioning brain cells left from all the dope he has smoked over the years! The only reason why he is still alive is because the deals he has made with SATAN. This old dinosaur needs to go back to the TAR PITS from whence he came!
There comes a time for some singers when all the pretentiousness, all the trying too hard, all the hunger, falls away. What’s left is pure heart and soul, singing to find the soul of the song. Willy is there, been there for a while. I don’t know this man; but, I wish I could do anything as well as he sings. Texas
Forever Willie! The only person the planet that is true and real! Always has been Always will be! What happened to ALL THE HIPPIS? HOW CAN YOU TOLERATE 2HAT IS HAPPENING IN AMERICA? WILLIE FOR PRESIDENT!
Just because I've learnt about him only after watching Big Little Lies, doesn't mean that I do not appreciate him for his music - on the contrary, the fact that this song was used in the last episode made me come here and know the artist :)) Which I'm very happy about.
Willie is so unique that he can cover someone else's song and make it sound as though he wrote it, but if someone covers one of his songs, you recognize it as one of his immediately.
I wish there was a way to fully express my love and apprciation of Willie Nelson. A humble, kind, generous and gentle man. Is there something more to aspire to in life?
The best way to love and appreciate him/music is to embrace & love it…. I just saw him in concert this past weekend, he wasn’t well, but I’m so appreciative to see him now.. either way, he was great !
As a classic music lover, I do not know how to categorise modern music: pop , western etc but Willie Nelson has always touched all strings of my heart!
Willie is country through and through. Best of the best and up there with Cash, Jennings, Williams, Jones, Robins, Kristofferson, Haggard The list is endless
Thank you for this Willie and thank you John Fogerty of CCR for writing this song. Love ya Willie! Love this version and Trigger and Paula and that twang on slide! Woo hoo!
Willie, you have entertained me for ages... Your voice is so unique & none to compare with. Your voice has never aged... May the Good Lord bless you & keep with us for a very long time, I pray. My hat is off to you, Sir!!
Willie Nelson , You are a father to the whole nation, thank you for your words of wisdom, songs over the times, and your influence towards total legalization. You continue to live happy and in harmony all these years. Fire up one for me and pass it. 🔥🌵💨👏
My big Brother was hit and killed by a drunk driver,he was 24yrs old & engaged to be married. I lost my mind as we were inseparable. He lived a month in and out of a coma,died Halloween day,after the funeral when day turned into dark,I stop @ a pay phone and called the radio station ,the sky was dark &. the stars were shining, the tears in my eyes flooded the city,I asked, could you please play, CCR, " have you ever seen the rain.", With a lump in his voice,he said, if course my dear. I had just lost my other Brother to a drunk driver 2 yrs prior. This song is one of the greatest & yes,Willie did it justice as well!
I wish I could think of something nice to say. I wish I could walk some steps with you and help carry the pain with you. My heart will never forget your written words. I wish I could help you carry the pain. My love and my heart goes out to you ♥️
Someone told me long ago There's a calm before the storm I know It's been coming for some time When it's over, so they say It'll rain a sunny day I know Shining down like water I want to know, have you ever seen the rain? I want to know, have you ever seen the rain Coming down on a sunny day? Yesterday, and days before Sun is cold and rain is hard I know Been that way for all my time 'Til forever, on it goes Through the circle, fast and slow I know It can't stop, I wonder I want to know, have you ever seen the rain? I want to know, have you ever seen the rain Coming down on a sunny day? I want to know, have you ever seen the rain? I want to know, have you ever seen the rain Coming down on a sunny day? I want to know, have you ever seen the rain? I want to know, have you ever seen the rain Coming down on a sunny day? Coming down on a sunny day Coming down on a sunny day
My understanding of that song is it was all about acid rain and such like that fell from the clouds like rain in Vietnam after bombing. Beautiful but sad song. G.B Mid Ireland
Great rendition of this old song Willie and Paula Nelson. Actually, I heard this rendition and I had to try playing and singing it also. Of course, I can't hit all those licks and notes you put on the guitar and with Mickey Raphael playing the harmonica ever so gently, it sounds just beautiful. Thank you for sharing this song on this rainy day, it makes the rainy day enjoyable. You rock Willie Nelson and so does your whole family of musicians. ♥♥
Willie this song sung with your daughter touches my heart like no other. I never thought this song could ever be better than CCR singing but both have u have done it. It’s more than beautiful. Thank you so much.
The most touching song and doing it with your daughter is so magical. Your both tremendous together. Well Done Willie and Paula. One of my most favourite tunes. ❤
This song reminds me about my wife. It was her favorite song before she lost the battling to cancer, I wish I could change the hands of time, I miss her smiles, she was always there for me and our lovely daughter, and I never miss a moment with her, life could be so unfair most times, there is some pain, I will cry in vain but won’t let you know how I will feel yes, I will miss you to the core! but some times i wonder why bad thing always happen to good people. She’s always in our heart
I think I have Willie, my mom past recently, I lived with her, looked after her, and she looked after me. We had our disagreements but we always found humor and love, funny how time slips away....
I never "got" this song when I heard it long ago; wasn't a fan of CCR either; this soulful rendition by Paula & her dad, is now a true favorite-you are both such a gift!
Willie and Paula this was so beautiful it brought me to tears you two are so amazing together these lyrics are beautiful I've always loves this song God bless you both
HI Willie, it was so touching to get a message from you....its been awhile , for me to see this...thankyou...ive followed you and your music for years ...i actually drove tractor trailer for 5 years (long story) i remember seeing your name /sign , i think it was Arkansaw or Texarkana.... it was a truckstop or restaurant ...i was disappointed i couldnt stop in....love you Willie, dont stop the tunes God Bless, and so sorry for your loss (sister)❤
Willie, I know this past outlaw event was very tough on you. Also know the Cinci show was your hardest to perform. You are amazing and you are leaving the biggest name in outlaw country, thank you for everything you have done for your fans and your country you literally are a work of art all around. Rest up and take care outlaw!
He is on a different level...he's a hell of a man, lover, and friend..U can just fell IT all in all his songs..and in his great example of what a good man should be❤LOVE YA WILLIE
Yes this is such a beautiful song and I love it every day... I am so appreciative of what I can't do with what little I have.... Thank you for sharing this beautiful song...
Willie plays from the heart and soul...just to sit back and listen to a true American artist is special..and singing with his daughter is an inspiration when I sing with mine..
I didn't even recognize this song, how can an artist change the entire vibe and meaning of a song from it's original version. This is talent beyond belief.....
Willie, I just received my first order of CBD oil/ capsules from your company. I ordered as soon as I learned about your product. I said intend to be a repeat customer. Thank you.
Once again I’m Wow’d by Willie! Then there’s Paula!!! My last living hero, lyrical genius and musical wonder never ceases to amaze me down to my soul. I could listen to this one hundred times straight! #WillieNelson. #PaulaNelson ❤
