Guitar Teacher REACTS: Kris Kristofferson - Loving Her Was Easier 1972

--

There will never be another Kris Kristofferson in my lifetime. Can’t believe he’s gone.

"Dreaming is as easy as believing that it was never gonna end." It's one of those lines that you can't get out of your head. R.I.P. Kris

Where Dylan often looses me and I'm left stranded, wondering what his metaphors might mean, Kris always connected directly into my heart, without spelling things out plainly. What a great songwriter. The only one that came near was Townes Van Zandt. I'll miss them. Thank god we can just put on one of their tunes and remember that we once walked among giants.

I'm 72 now and 1972 I played his albums all the time.. Gosh we're has the time gone.. How did we get this old, , , , loosing people right left and centre now.... Well heaven waits for us and what a pop concert that will be one day ❤️🙏❤️

[MrBKuv]

He seemed like the perfect man, great songwriter, Oxford scholar, award winning actor, deep voice and brutally handsome.

[jerryd]

I’m 72 and have listened to this song many times and I cry every single time.

This is what i call "the perfection in imperfection". He may not be pitch perfect, but he means every damn word and it's all so well weitten that we can't help but love it. It's just so... human.

I suppose there are thousands of great songs, but Kris Kristofferson gave us some of the very best.

Kristofferson was gifted in so many ways. We were lucky to have him.

Kris Kristofferson brought a certain sensuality to country music, he paints such distinct images with his lyrics. I've listened to this song hundreds and hundreds of times and still today I find myself thinking deeply on the lyrics, man what a songwriter.

[pandorafox]

A brilliant songwriter. ❤ Rest easy Kris. 🕊️

One of my favourites of his. I absolutely loved his music and voice for over 50 years. Total legend. His songwriting was so unique. Have to admit to shedding a few tears when I woke and read the news that he had passed. Saw him solo 4 times and once with the Highwaymen

Kris Kristofferson was a master in blending poetry and melody in an accessible way. You don't have to interpret his words to figure out the meaning of the song. You don't have to understand music theory to enjoy his music. I can sing his songs, I can play his songs, but I will never be able to write his songs.

IMHO The only person that comes close to his skill was John Prine. Who just happened to be discovered by Kristofferson, who said of Prine "He writes songs so good we'll have to break his thumbs".

Legendary award winning singer-songwriter, award winning actor, Rhodes Scholar, Military Veteran. Kris not only could do it all, he went and did it all. RIP Kris. I hope you've met up with Waylon and Johnny and Prine and are jamming together.

i never could have imagined that i would feel as sad as i do for a man that i never even met. i first remember seeing kris as the rubber duck in the movie convoy. i come from a family of truck drivers and i remember watching the movie with my dad when i was a child back in the 90s i must have seen that movie well over 100 times in my 31 years of life. but i discovered kris as a singer and songwriter about the time i turned 14 when i discovered the highwaymen. i mean i already knew who they all were as solo artists but it was only then when i really started to realize just what a special talent kris was and i was hooked ever since. since that time i probably listened to every song and every variation of anything that kris ever wrote and sung. i finally got to see him perform in person back in 2018. he performed with merle's band at the FM Kirby Center in Wilkes Barre Pennsylvania. i was so captivated by him and his performance that night. that concert will go down as one of the top 3 best concerts that i ever saw. he was an amazing person.. i have been dabbling a little bit over the past few years learning to play guitar and i figured what better way to honor a great man and a true legend than learning one of his songs.. RIP Kris

Probalby my favorite performance of this song. The harmonies are so gorgeous and feel so lonesome.

[rankenfile]

I feel as if I am living through his POV while he is singing his songs. The best writers have this gift, and make it seem effortless.

[donnaewe]

RIP to a legend. ❤ You will be missed friend. Thank you, Michael.

[benjaminmiller]

I listened to this song last night when I heard of his passing. RIP to a legendary song writer. So many amazing song written by his hands!!

[maddy]

Mr. Kristofferson was truly inspirational for me through my teens and into my 20s. He's one of the greats. I am so grateful that I was old enough to hear this incredible singer/song writer. RIP.

The line that's been going through my head since I heard the news: "From the rockin of the cradle to the rollin of the hearse; the goin up was worth the comin down".
