Buddy Holly - Learning The Game Lyrics
Hearts that are broken and love that's untrue
These go with learning the game
When you love her and she doesn't love you
You're only learning the game
When she says that you're the only one she'll ever love
Then you find that you are not the one she's thinking of
Feeling so sad and you're all alone and blue
That's when you're learning the game
When she says that you're the only one she'll ever love
Then you find that you are not the one she's thinking of
Feeling so sad and you're all alone and blue
That's when you're learning the game

Buddy Holly Learning The Game Comments
The very last song Buddy ever wrote, recorded on his pro tape machine in his NY apartment. a couple of days before starting that last tour.
Only 22 😪
I can't begin to tell you what effect his music had on me as an eleven year old kid living in the UK in 1958. It was truly trail blazing stuff, never heard anything like it before and sounded absolutely fantastic. I know Elvis is regarded as the king of R&R but this guy was the real king, his musicianship and song writing set the stage for the 1960's pop music explosion and he was so influential on so many that followed him in that fabulous music decade. Such a legacy left by a man who changed so much but, tragically, died so young.
It doesn't matter any more was mine, 1947 too..
I play ay a lot of music on my left handed guitar mostly Buddy Holly Ritchie Valens the big bopper and Nirvana but I write with my right hand
If you can listen to the undubbed version just Buddy and acoustic guitar, much better than this version.
overdubs added post mortem
Buddy Holley was a genius!!!!!
Just thought id say that cause this video was uploaded february 3rd 2012
I remember what i did 2012 february 3rd i listened to buddy holly songs on this station https://wevl.org/
I probably never played the game he is talking about
Interesting morbid fact.. The singing and acoustic guitar were recorded as a demo, in an apartment New York (It’s on YouTube if anybody cares, and it’s better than the full band version..... ) and the band overdubbed on after his death. :(
There would be no Weezer without Buddy Holly.
this song is timeless awesome
Absolutely amazing and emotionel song indeed: I still have tears in my eyes for many of their songs....
Not the original version.
Buddy Holly had rented the plane for himself, guitarist Tommy Allsup and Waylon Jennings. One of the band members had the flu, so Waylon gave up his seat for him. Ritchie Valens won a coin toss and swapped seats with Tommy.
According the Rolling Stone: "When Jennings told Holly that he was going to take the bus, Holly jokingly told him he hoped the bus broke down, to which Jennings replied, 'I hope your ol’ plane crashes.'"
It obviously affected Waylon Jennings for life. For a beautiful cover of this song, and some incredible guitar work by Mark Knopfler listen to their cover of this song: https://youtu.be/GeDtVlj0tII
It is a disgrace that nowadays Buddy Holly is never played on the radio. Thus, most of our generation (I am 19 years old) can not enjoy his music. Shame.
Greatest rock and roll of all time *)
This song has a lot of meaning and deep. It reminds me of Telstar guitar style from the Ventures.
Buddy Holly and Marty Robbins were two of the greatest musical poets of our time. They will never be forgotten.
"Learning the game" can come at any time in life. We never stop learning about love and hate. I Love Buddy Holly taken too soon. R.I.P .
beat that, the best
natalie does a great version
died too young
Magic music
I still miss him
My dad told me that Buddy Holly perished in a plane crash in Clear Lake Iowa even though I wasn't born when it happened.
I love the Keith Richard version of this song!
Paul Knaven fuck YOU sincerely German Man
Love his music, of course but he was a really gorgeous man 😍. That is the sexiest pics I've ever seen of him ❤️
Doesn't get better than him and never will 🙏
50s grunge!
Beautiful track ...God Bless Buddy .
Still this song nearly brings me to tears....special for you and so goodbye Lovely Gudrun....
Nice song
One of the greatest rock and roll legends end of lol
His marriage was failing.
2018 still going strong
Check out our cover of 'Learning The Game' recorded at the Norman Petty Studios here: https://youtu.be/Vw7N7mg8_jo
Really can relate to him and let this music play throughout all the years to come
Check out our cover of 'Learning The Game' recorded at the Norman Petty Studios https://youtu.be/Vw7N7mg8_jo
Went to the crash site/memorial in Iowa 2016. You can feel them there.Nothing grows where the plane crashed.
I want to go to that so bad.
Never heard this version. Buddy is Awesome.That Staccato picking is spot on..
Great late buddy.
Feeling so sad and you're all alone and blue…
Looking and sounding great
Buddy was so unbelievably before his time, especially for a 20-year old kid.
Here we are, 58 years later, and can still feel the sadness of his early death.
If you love this original Buddy Holly tune,you have to listen to Andrew Gold's remake of this song!!!! Sincerely,BobbyK
senza parole !
This is a poor version. Buddy's Apartment Tape acoustic can't be beaten.
Another great song from Buddy Holly. I love the guitar work in here.
Julie Veronica Idczak fantastica fantastic song
Musical Genius
THE KING MUSIC MASTER}
Buddy is my good buddy.
voice of an angel...
Thank you. M and my dad used to play this on our guitars when I was about 8. We would record it on his reel to reel.Singing into that 50s sure mic. God I miss that...
In the humble opinion of this simple man Buddy Holly was the greatest natural Talent that rock and roll has ever produced.The title of the LP Buddy Holly lives in 1978 says more than any words than my humble pen can ever produce.
YOUR SO RIGHT }
ON THE 1 - 10 SCALE THIS IS BUDDYS USUAL 11, He is the Bach of rock. RIP
Michelangelo.
Brilliant Buddy total genius perfection his music will never die
THE GREAT MUSIC MASTER }

+BloozeDaddy
I've got a good idea where you can file it!

+BloozeDaddy

@Clive Bindley I'm pretty disappointed in that comeback Clive...that was the equivalent of "no YOU'RE the poopiehead !!!!" have a good one...outbox and all.
One of the best by the best ever,the music really died with him.
Yes it did.
no the music lives on!!!!!!
Buddy lives on when ever we listen to this beautiful music.
......and in his words,.... Not fade away
Buddy's #1
Sweet Little Sheila was by Tommy Roe but your sentiments are correct I believe. What Buddy would have come up with is only to be admired
An absolute musical hero. I wish I was around to hear/see Buddy perform live
Buddy was amazing and intelligent. I wasn't alive during that time period but I listen to music of that era and he was way ahead of his time. He could connect with his audience and had big dreams and wishes and it was cut short tragically. He revolutionized and pioneered his own style of rock-n-roll and influenced many and his voice was fresh and crisp and the hiccup too that he would incorporate into his own music. R.I.P Charles Hardin Holley
Yeah, Buddy truly was an RnR pioneer. The hiccup was later adopted (stolen) by pop singers like Michael Jackson. Love how he does it on the Peggy Sue song.
"He could connect with his audience" - a case could be made, that he still connects to people today.
My idol, i base my appearance on him
Buddy could say so much in so few words.
Yes, he was!!!
Buddy was the greatest!!
My teenage idol,.!!!many..many..moons ago.!r,,I,,p,,!buddy.boy!!♣
My favorite. My dear friend Musician Terry Bouknight shared this song with me. My Brother In Law the Legendary Guitarist Hank Garland used a similar technique called "mutting the strings". This song Is EPIC ~ <3 Amy Garland
this song is so good
This song is wonderful!
AWSOME! I can say no more!
LOVE IT !!!!!!!!! SUCH A TRUE SONG!!!
two words THE BEST
joetake holly Better than Elvis in my opinion.
The bestest singer of all time
What a great number... What a legend
WoW!!!!!
