My mom passed away from Alzheimers a little while ago and I keep thinking of the line... "It took me years to get those souvenirs and I don't know how they slipped away from me." Thank you John.

John's songs never get older. Not one minute. They're like fishing on a mostly sunny day.

but do you whistle and fish and eat everything that they put on your dish?

I've been singing this for over 20 years, dancing with my grandparents in their kitchen making rice crispy treats and singing as loud as we can to all his songs. Thanks for the beautiful memories.

Beautiful…..John Prine may be gone, but he will never be forgotten.

“Broken hearts and dirty windows, make life difficult to see, that’s why last night and this morning...always look the same to me” ❤️ 💯🔥 ❤️

One of my favorite John Prine songs. Hell, one of my favorite songs ever! "Broken hearts and dirty windows make life difficult to see. That's why last night and this morning always look the same to me." So funny and sad and universal.

John had a very unique way with lyrics. His lyrics ride the razors edge between perception and reality. RIP John

One of my all time faves as well

Played this at my dads funeral.he had so much regret in his life as did I with him. We had emotional problems with each other for many years which only disappeared when he got sick. He absolutely loved john prine and this song is such a representation of his life. RIP both John's x

All the snow has turned to water Christmas days have come and gone Broken toys and faded colors Are all that's left to linger on I hate graveyards and old pawn shops For they always bring me tears I can't forgive the way they rob me Of my childhood souvenirs Memories they can't be boughten They can't be won at carnivals for free Well it took me years To get those souvenirs And I don't know how they slipped away from me Broken hearts and dirty windows Make life difficult to see That's why last night and this mornin' Always look the same to me I hate reading old love letters For they always bring me tears I can't forgive the way they rob me Of my sweetheart's souvenirs

I didn't know John Prine until he passed away, but I know him now. Somehow I feel like I've lost a friend of a lifetime

I miss him and I don't even know

I have known - and listened to - John Prine for years and I too feel like I’ve lost a lifelong Friend. Funny, brilliant, humble and beyond talented. Hope he’s in Heaven smoking a cigarette that’s 9 miles long.

My brother and sister got me into Prine. I think of them every time I hear it

I used to play this in college on my guitar and sing it to myself. I will do it again in honor of John all the love he showed through his songs.

This is another one of those Prine songs that made me cry...I could not perform it without crying so I just quit doing it...This song goes through my hear like a broken record...I love this version...It's almost as good as LIVE...Which is ALWAYS the best.

I’m still 💔! 😭 But I’m happy John left us with this beautiful music/singing!

I want this song played at my funeral because i can definitely relate to this John Prine classic! I've been at war with a life threatening illness for going on 26 years and I know the end is coming soon! I hate graveyards and old pawn shops to, they robbed me of my childhood souviners. RIP John, you were a great talent who left us way to soon! 🙏 Michael Allen Greer Uniontown, Pennslyvania

Forgiveness is a choice, and the greatest gift we can both give and receive. It's a souvenir that no one can rob you of, and one that goes with you when you leave this earth plain. This song is personally meaningful to me, and today I can say I'm grateful for the things that pawn shops and graveyards took from me, because those places led me to the most priceless souvenir anyone could ever hope to find.. Forgiveness. 🙏💎 💓

1st time I heard this was 1986 ..sometimes I wished I had it playing in my mind all the time to remember forgiveness.

One of the most beautiful and classic songs ever. THIS ALBUM man...

Praying for you John , your tunes are the best souvenirs 🎶🎶🙏🙏

My mom sold all my comics when I was a little kid. If I had them today, I wouldn't have to work 6 days a week to support my family of five. Damn, that would be a nice come up today.

John said we reach out and say “Hello in there, hello”. We all feel like this sometimes

So smooth, so soothing.Terrific song writer and singer.Miss him greatly.

Beautifully written. It almost brought me to tears. I hate loss. I was born in the early 80's, I've been to too many funerals of my loved ones, family and friends, since I was a teen, more than I have been to concerts, weddings, and baby showers combined. Losing loved ones is hell, and caring for ones while their memory is fading from their mental grasp is a different kind of hell, too.

Pretty much just the best. Thanks John

Rest in peace John ✌🙏💙

I met the love of my life when i was selling fire wood after i got laid off. While i was stacking the wood for this old man he was tuning up his guitar and his daughter asked if i liked music and if i had any requests. I said john prine, thinking they wouldn't know who i was talking about. They knew every damn one. We were together for 7 years and i just lost her to cancer. I miss you jayme and i will always love you.

I saw John Prine in concert in Ft. Lauderdale in the early 90s and it was the best show I've ever seen.. I was close enough to the stage and center stage at that.

All these years later, this song can't help but bring a tear.

RIP John you are missed!

A true legend and artist with unrivaled talent heart,skill and trurth! You will be sorely missed old friend, I hope when you got to heaven you got your mile long ciggaret and everything your heart desired and deserved!

Beautiful song....I can still see my brother singing this years ago....so many memories of him.

This is exactly where I was at this morning. Blessed by this John Prine song.

god help us all

RIP all our loved ones our friends and John Prine.

I dedicate this song to my cousin Tracy Coffey. A really good man and an even better father taken too soon. Remember your loved ones everybody.

My favorite -- thank you so much!

still makes me cry no matter how many6 times i hear it. rest in peace john. the world is a little colder now that youre no longer in it.

No more downvotes please. Only upvotes!

This is my song, it’s my life in a song, thanks John, RIP ❤️

I want this and please don't bury me and roll me up and smoke me I die played at my funeral

First time covid19 made me think was when it took our john. A sad loss to our world of music . On hearing of his death I had this on repeat with floods of tears God rest your soul beautiful man

God Bless you John, praying for you.

John Prine the best. Thanks!

What a artist love him

So happy I got to see him......been to a lot of shows but I’ll always remember that one. Everybody stayed in their seats instead of gettin up and dancing and really listened. Was a beautiful thing. Afraid that’s gonna go away...

Memories they can't be boughten :-) this is great. I just love your lyrics and sounds. Thank you, May you possess good health soon.

Rooting for you. You‘ll beat this Virus and it’ll go on to be just another Souvenir.

When I was in colleage I played my own verison of this song. I really love this song I wish I written it. If I write anything this good I will leave this world a happy Person. Such Feeling in simple words. Songwriting you cannot really learn you either have it or you do not in my experience.

Bom demais, infancia no Texas

... What were those childhood souvenirs?

ten years ago I was walking by the highway outside of Austin Texas and a car going like 75 mph swerved over the white line and ran me over it broke both of my legs and one of my ribs and gave me a traumatic brain on and taught me to appreciate the little things in life that most people take for granted

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

For so long the raven at my window was only a crow, welcome to life's daily challenges

he was on the way to sing at an amateur show and he thought he needed more songs so he wrote this.

✌

my headphones fell out so naturally I had to restart the song
