It's nice to see Lucinda smiling in this video. She has incredibly deep and touching songs, but she always seems to reserved on stage. I wish we could experience her personality on stage a bit more. But her music is incredible!
Four weeks before my sister died, she and I were driving around in my car, and I had this playing on the CD player. She turned to me and said “Are you thinking of playing this at my funeral?”. I looked round at her and said “Yes, I am”. We both smiled. She then turned away. Boy, I miss her. Sorry for the sentimentality, but thanks for this beautiful track, Lucinda. Not heard it in a while but needed to tonight. Thanks. xxx
I love this song dearly Lucinda but I cannot listen to it without crying my eyes out. Your music touches in so many ways. It is a great song. Are u alright. You would think all mothers should be able to ask that question to their sons , but that is not the case. which is where the tear start. I would ask all the questions you did to my boys if i could.
Maybe the ten people who dont like this song should stick to the crap that's shoved down they're throat on cmt, mtv and what ever else that spin your pee brained mind's.
I met Lucinda after she played mountain stage in Charleston, WV with a good friend of hers from Sarasota, Fl. We were back stage and later we all went to the Marriott and talked for a couple hours-she is humble, kind and and her band was kickin-an awesome time. Thanks Lucinda.
A fucking national treasure is what Lucinda is. I'm confident that people will realize her greatness one day down the road. I hope she sticks around to relish it. She'll be celebrated like all our legends are today. She's old enough to be one but her recording career was sporadic until the past 12 years that she got a late start on making an impression with most. Not even an average album in her canon, but several great ones. Car Wheels is in my top 100 LPs ever. West will prove to be a top 250!
She's taken the words right out of my mouth. This is what goes through your mind when someone you truly loves up and leaves. Then you can't help but wonder where you went wrong. True love means wanting him to be happy wherever he may be. Even though it hurts like hell.... I just want to know "ARE YOU ALRIGHT"??
Its hard to listen to, when you know your the guy she's singing about, in someones life. I cried at the thought of how I may have hurt the one girl I wish I never left!! Love you Gael. I',m alright...but would be better in your arms! XXOO
How wonderful is this woman? I have to agree that her voice is so amazing that it makes this song beautiful. Otherwise, it's just too painful to listen to.
this song reminds me of my dog Holly. she was over 12 years old and her vision was poor. she hardly ever left the yard. she was showing her age but 2 weeks ago she turned up missing. I think she went off to find a nice comfortable place to pass away by herself. dogs do that. my heart is breaking and I've been crying every day since she left.
I LOVE YOU Cyndee !!! You are the best girl in this whole wide WORLD !!! And you can never be replaced.... and no one will ever love and respected you like Tommy !!! YOU R MY QUEEN.... please wait for me to get it together... please don't fall in love with anyone else ... LIKE YOU Cyndee Cyndee + Tommy = FUN your one and only KING in this life... I LOVE YOU... Tom DoGG
tamburella, speak to me! Just so, were it meant to be... Hell, she haunted my life, pleasure and pain, had things been different, but she does have someone to hold her tight and a lovely child is the consumation. As we know, true love lets go....
I love this song. Reminds me of someone I loved but left early. I know he's all right - I just wish I could have told him more things before he left. There's a lesson here! Lucinda Willilams writes straight from the heart, she is REAL and that's why she's one of my very favorite singer/songwriters.
I've heard some pretty soulful, meaningful and deep rap and hip hop. You just won't hear it on the radio. Like many country radio stations replace good people like Lucinda with bubble-gummy, soulless country music.
A friend told me about this song. I was blown away by the simplicity of the song and the sincerity of her heart. I love when a song takes me away.... i put her on my alerts to see her live
hell i fell in love with lucinda when i first heard 'belmont avenue' . .i grew up blocks from there . . .she is talented . .makes baton rouge sound like a dream . .
how good is this voice??? and yet, a clown I talked to that hosts one of the most popular radio shows in mainstream country said THAT VOICE WILL NEVER BE ON COUNTRY RADIO. Sick world, eh?
dont call them artist I call them cheerleader models Give Me a S S give me a O o, give me a N N! give me a G G!!! what you got a song ...and then they turn a flip in to a grammy....its sicking...soap stars pretending to be artist...the beautiful moving mouth.
Just finished listening to Lucinda's latest album. She always delivers... I always buy....And she never disappoints.(Don't use that line Lucinda..It's mine).
Thanks for all the wonderful music that you fill the world with. Come back to Dublin, Ireland!!
I've been listening to LW music for a long time, but heard this song first on Imus. How horrible that the world will no longer be able to discover incredible talents like Lucinda on his program any more. The jackels have wom.
I first heard this song on the show "House". Ms. Williams voice compliments this song with wonderfully nostalgic lyrics and such universal meaning. The instruments also intensifies the simplicity of this song. Beautiful composition all around.
I'm a board operator and I ran IMAN'S show for months, THANK YOU IMUS for introducing LUCINDA WILLIAMS TO ME, I LOVE HER~ I'm going to miss listening to her on IMUS~
Too bad the world revolves around dirty money & politics. FREE SPEECH~FREE YOUR MIND~PEACE~
Nah, too bad that Imus really overstepped the bounds of civility. He should have been called on his misogynistic and borderline racist comments a while back .. he might still be on the air. The dude is sharp and had good guests, but when you toe the line like he did, and you overstep it, you pay the price. And those were young kids, man, who were busting their butts. Not hos.
Awesome song! Heard this song at the end of "House" and I was really touched. I am sure it will touch a lot of people in many ways, for years to come. Love it.
Ahhhh! I love Lucinda with my whole life! Another classic album! No artist on earth communicates so beautifully the intricate workings of the human heart the way Lucinda does!!! I'm in heaven all over again!
waiting impatiently for someone to post If Wishes were Horses . . .
