I return to this cover often. It's so gorgeous. This family is a treasure.
I’ve been following Noah since I was 14/15. I’m 25 now. Saw him in Detroit at some charity concert with switchfoot And I specifically came for Noah and didn’t even know who switchfoot was but apparently they were a big deal lol and then in college when he finally had his own headlining show. Met him both times after and talked to him.. Real nice guy, old soul. His music will always be something special to me. When my grandma passed away a few years ago and I had really bad insomnia for weeks all I listened to everyday was carry the ghost and ledges album my entire junior year of college. He’s that artist whose got me through hard times in life but also have enjoyed him during really enjoyable periods like wanting to share his music on a mixtape in high school for a crush. I found him on tumblr belting out moss on a rolling stone and was hooked ever since. I know it’s become a bit cliche to say your favorite artist is underrated but Noah totally is. I wish I had the words to describe the depths of his soul comforting mine, awakening me to new insights of uncovered, buried emotion I’ve suppressed.. since Noah is older than me, it’s interesting how some of his life experiences he’s went through and wrote about in songs would be put out a few years ahead of the similar situations that would eventually happen to me/ i would experience later. So I’d like the song cause it was just a good song/ would stir beautiful emotions in me but then when I had a certain type of relationship dynamic like in cigarettes or first defeat I could go back listening to it with a deeper understanding and shared experience.. anyways. his whole family is extremely talented. I love the love And dedication that pours from everything they do. I typically don’t pour my heart out on KZread comments but it feels like one of those times you leave long notes for people you care about

Chelsea Perry same. going through a divorce, his song Robin Williams has been a rock for me. Songs of sadness can help give voice to the pain and help “turn the night into day” Very thankful for him and his crew.

Chelsea Perry huge respect for opening your heart up like you did, it’s funny how music is one of the strongest escapes when the good times aren’t rolling... I absolutely understand how you feel. As beautiful as this song is, have you heard the original by Blaze Foley? John Prine (who they dedicated this too about a month ago when he passed away) made the song more famous then ablaze did sadly, and from a metal head and musician, I love any genre if it’s done well, especially country, but do yourself a favour and check out Blaze Foleys version

John Zimmerman why be a dick? Someone just expressed how deeply this artist has affected her and for her through the good and bad times, and to me that takes a lot of bravery, and courage, something someone who hides behind a keyboard insulting people has absolutely none of!

Could not agree more. I’m 71 years old an have seen music an bought albums of most genres for more than 60 years an Noah an family are easily in top 5. Noah is my favorite writer I’m sure if he decided he could write the great American novel. Well any way thanks for the music it has touched my heart an soul.
The family needs a record deal!
this is hands down the best cover of this song I've heard. you guys are fantastic. it warms my heart to know that you are all family and are so close. love that.

Ben Jammin Don’t be so quick to write someone off as a drunk.You don’t know what it’s like to walk in anyone else’s shoes. And you can thank that “drunk” for this timeless piece of beautiful music.
I hope this generates more fans for Blaze. Such a badass talent.

@@TheTheRandomShow1234 When playing live, Prine would tell the story of hearing a Blaze Foley song and asking around about Blaze. Some of his friends looked at him strange, because Prine had spent much of a night with Foley. Prine says, well if it was behind the Armadillo World Headquarters, he is not surprised he doesn't remember it.

Honestly this made me like Blaze less.
I love the fact that they KNOW the history of this song and the greats who came before them. You can see the respect in their faces, and then the live and joy for each other at the 3:00 mark.
Absolutely mind blowing!!! The exact time of 3.02 is what it's about, them smiles say it all. I know how that feels and I miss it so much, don't ever stop.
Just saw this after a really rough day. Thank you Gundersen family for lifting my spirits
Man, Noah, this is the music I fell in love with man. I understand you've got to experiment and try something new, but please, don't ever stop making this type. You don't know what it means to people like me.
You guys are out there saving lives every day. I don't know how many times you have saved mine.
Gorgeous harmonies! Love the Gundersens! ❤️ Hope you will post more acoustic songs like this!
Family voices blend like no others
I have two boys and a girl.. love to play and sing myself and can only hope for this kind of beautiful creative bond for my little clan. Keep bringing us all the goodness in these awkward times! Thank you Gundersens.
One of the best songs ever written covered by one of the most talented families that ever lived. This killed me.
A nice tribute to Blaze's best song ever. The harmony sounds really nice.
Hey awesome humans! ❤ Beautiful as always.. those harmonies.. 💥🤗
Love you singing brother.
This is so beautiful. RIP John Prine 💔

Blaze Foley forever. How about some love for the amazing soul who wrote this song and sings it better than anyone can ever hope to. Died too soon, should be a households name, a true legend everyone should know. Listen the real dude of dudes, Mr. Blaze Foley.
"Hello in there ".Thank you ,Lizzie, Jonny and Noah. RIP JOHN PRINE. 🕊🌻😥😢💐♥️
This reminds me of old times when you’d all sing together! Love Noah but this is also magical 🤩
This needs to be released as a record. Love from UK
Noah is our John Prine
There's nothing like acoustic guitars playing backup to a beautifully written song with awesome harmonies leading the way. BRAVO! Blaze and John both underappreciated talents that just maybe now will get their just due.
That was gorgeous
Many shades of John Prine in this lovely tune. I think he'd be very happy indeed with this tribute.

Absolutely! My partner and I often talk about covers, when they’re appropriate, how well they’re done in terms of has someone just repeated the track or like this version that they have taken and made their own, in which even though was dedicated to John Prine when he passed away (last year was it?) make Blaze proud indeed!.. Even the kids love this track, and more of his music now after all watching ‘Blaze’ the film Ethan Hawke wrote and produced if you’ve seen it? Sorry mate, I get a bit carried away when talking about Blaze, he literally changed my life after hearing this track, more specifically the ‘Live At The Austin Outhouse’ version... Be well my friend
I remember the day you put this out. It was such a dark time for such a beautiful song. Thanks ☺️
I love you guys! Thank you for making this day better.
So excited about Jonny G's album
Incredible. So moving. Last I heard John has been upgraded to stable. I feel a piece of my life, hanging in the balance. Thank you Jonny, Noah and Lizzy for this powerful tribute.
Love Blaze Foley. Wel done guys
2020 has been a total dumpster fire. Until now. This is absolutely stunning. Thank you.
Yall did a great job on a amazing song. John Prine would be super pleased.
Beautiful version
Very moving. Thank you. John Prine was a classmate of mine and it was a gut punch when I heard of his death.
Thank you all. Your music touches people in a way I can't even describe. Stay well.
Great version of an incredible song! Nice!
And now I’m crying. Thanks for the beautiful cover. Much needed right now.
One of my favorite songs that John Prine performs... a Blaze Foley original.
Could listen to y’all sing all day
