Amazing song, and beautiful, haunting singing (as ever) by the great Dr Stanley.

lotsa singers these days owe a lot to Mr. Stanley...I can hear his influence from Beyonce to Reba...

@2HRTS1LOVE

Lot of singers these days.. such as beyonce... owe a lot to Mr. Stanley? How come they sing like shit then?

Singers these days? Hell the world is lucky to have singers like Mr Stanley and handful of other great singers, but it sure as hell ain't beyonce and such. Today's famous singer like lady gaga, beyonce, and so on.. they jokes..

This is, like, redneck emo. But I love this song so, so much.

@MirakelRakel

Bluegrass = redneck emo, kinda. And yet, though I just seemingly used two pejoratives, it's hauntingly beautiful, isn't it?

Emo

[Corp1982]

Not really. It's about a man begging Death for more time, with Death refusing to hear his pleas.
