For some reason, I keep buying this album and losing it. It is worth every cent spent, this time via itunes so it can be permanently stored on my computer. I don't think you could ever get sick of this.
@jadestephens76 -Far out man,I have bought this one 5 times because I keep getting drunk and then crying and then guess what? Lose it man,get it? Have had to buy 3 Car wheels on a gravel road! Insane or what? Beautiful voice,just great!
This song by itself is clear proof that Time Magazine's naming Lucinda Williams best songwriter in 2002 was well-deserved. It is also one of those relatively rare instances (like Astrud Gilberto's "Girl From Ipanema" & Devil Doll's "Bourbon In Your Eyes") where the voice perfectly matches the song, creating a synergism where the sum is greater than the parts.
This is not the same version that appears on the CD Essence. I know because I have listened to that version hundreds of times. This version is even better!
@blaqkroseimmortal SInce it's just her and her guitar it is most likely her demo for the label. She writes at her kitchen table. There's a whole disc of all the demos in Deluxe Edition of Blessed and the vinyl comes with CD and Demos Disc.
yes ... what can you do but quote the lyrics of this amazing song? absolute SADNESS ... I have been there and thank Lucinda for putting my own despair into words ...
lucinda is sort of like the female counterpart to say...steve earle. She is just wicked,and has been for many years,a staple in my musical diet.This song is special. Her voice cracks,and you can hear the real heartache in it.
I came across this song by accident by looking for one of her other songs. Every time I play it I cry. The melody and the lyrics are so beautiful. It will always be one of my favorite songs.
I don't wanna talk I just wanna go back to blue Feeds me when I'm hungry quenches my thirst Loves me when I'm lonely thinks of me first Blue is the color of night When the red sun Disappears from the sky Raven feathers shiny and black A touch of blue glistening down her back We don't talk about heaven, we don't talk about hell We come to depend on one another so damn well So go to confession whatever gets you through You can count your blessings I'll just count on blue
Hi. Can you be more specific where you found this version? The guitars sound different from the original recording. Sounds like some studio version with Doug Pettibone on the tour in 2006.
It's a beautifull song and thanks for uploading it.
I'm your mums' friend, gazork123. Pretty song, nice job on the video. If I tried to put together something like this, I'd probably burn the house down.....hahaha!
blaqkroseimmortal, this doesn't sound like the original cut. It sounds better, and I love the original, but this one... the emotion feels raw, her voice sounds like something beyond what could otherwise be called merely extraordinary. Thank you. Thank you so much for posting this.
Thank you so much!! None of my friends know who she is so it's geat to find other people who know her. I should be uploading another of her songs soon.
That's funny because I live in Santa Fe NM, and she comes in concert here quite a lot for being a smaller town. But I still hadn't heard of her until a friend of mine from out of town introduced me to her music. She is an incredible musician.
