The more I hear her the more I realize such a treasure much underestimated like so many of her peers! Love you Lucinda take care of your health we want to hear you ….
Someone I once worked with chose to end his life this week. Didn't know the man really well, but anytime it comes to this, the aching wisdom of this song slices through. Wherever you are now, my friend, may you at least be at something like peace. You mattered. For those who remain, learn to value ourselves and make all others know they have value, are needed, have a reason to be here.
Tears fall like rain to water the eternal green field and make every color glisten like dew on the heart. Heavens not at the end of the road heaven is at the start...
Sometimes it seems there isn’t enough to keep people wanting to keep on going with life. But man this song is one more great reason to keep on living for love.
...Lucinda's simple lyrics and voice make you empathically feel what it is that's good in life and why you shouldn't throw it away ... for whatever reason ... because it's the people you'll leave behind that matter ... and they, not you, will suffer...
Absolutely stunning. Most musicians wouldn't risk playing a song this slowly, but it works perfectly. Such a huge musical influence on me, surprised she's not more famous
Having myself lost a young family member to depression-fueled addiction, whenever I hear this song I also think about Lucinda's song "Little Angel, Little Brother"; and also "Can't Cry Any More" by Sheryl Crow: "I've got a brother/ he's got real problems/heroin and/ there's just no stopping him tonight/ and I Can't Cry Anymore...."
Just reading about Frank Stanford - "Long before I ever heard Stanford’s name, I grew up listening to “Sweet Old World,” the song Lucinda Williams-one of Frank’s lovers and the daughter of Fayetteville poet Miller Williams-wrote about his suicide. My mother loved the song, which she said reminded her of her brother, Robert, who shot himself when he was twenty-seven. As a girl, I would occasionally hear “Sweet Old World” being played somewhere in the house and I would walk into the kitchen and find my mother crying."
La plus belle et, en tout cas ma préférée, de toutes les chansons de cette immense chanteuse qu'est Lucinda Williams. Un très grand moment d'americana music. J'en ai les frissons tellement c'est beau.
Lovely. I have to say that the Gretsch deserved more viewtime than a few seconds (blink!) at the very end (5.03) Its deep sound all way through was so key to this laid-back song.
Another song the squeezebox is awsome. Dang nice pickin too. I've been at this local up here for decades now. Think they know I'm in the wind when I play so.etbin'like tbis😊
I wonder why Lucinda wrote this song.e I've had three people in my life take their lives. I always wanted to tell them, but it was too late. Despair can be fatal.
It's a pity that the guy who commited suicide (the subject of this song) didn't hear the song before he killed himself. It might've changed his mind. Maybe. Mind you, a lot of poets seem to suffer from melancholy.
A live performance will never be as pitch perfect as a CD; but there is nothing like a woman standing on the stage singing her heart out. Auto-tune will ensure no singer is ever the slightest bit off key, but if you call that better .....! Can't agree.
I really love LW’s songs and the imagery she evokes. I also love her voice....except! In this concert especially, she annoys me no end on the last word of every phase in every single song! She goes from a full, robust sound to a breath on that damned last word, every single time!! It’s called, “coming off the voice,” and there are times when it works really well in certain songs. _BUT NOT HERE._ There’s no artistic reason for it, and it doesn’t feel authentic to me. Such a drag!!

Her singing gives me the shivers, and makes me cry. Does anyone else love "Lake Charles"?
Yes.
This may be the most beautiful, heartbreaking song I’ve ever heard. Loving, tender and torn apart all at the same time.
"Someone calling your name" just gets me. I love, love this song.
The more I hear her the more I realize such a treasure much underestimated like so many of her peers! Love you Lucinda take care of your health we want to hear you ….

Can only like it once but can listen to it forever!
The breath from your own lips......! So powerful in it's simplicity. Your breath. The beginning and the end.
The most beautiful song I have ever had the privilege of listening to!!!
For those of us left behind this really does help thanks
This song has so much feeling in it. It makes me cry: what a beautiful song.
...Lucinda's simple lyrics and voice make you empathically feel what it is that's good in life and why you shouldn't throw it away ... for whatever reason ... because it's the people you'll leave behind that matter ... and they, not you, will suffer...
They are deceptively simple. Unadorned, unfussy, might be a better word. I agree, "why you shouldn't throw it away."
Absolutely stunning. Most musicians wouldn't risk playing a song this slowly, but it works perfectly. Such a huge musical influence on me, surprised she's not more famous
+The Healing She is my friend, to the right people.
+The Healing I know, right?
Her singing, the vibrato in her voice here is beautiful.
So good. There is just no one as special as Lucinda.
Beautiful, and one of her very best!

What an amazing touch by Kenny Vaughn at 2-10.. Wow
"The beat, the rhythm, the blues"
love Lucinda's writing and her voice. x
Great live version of Lucinda's powerful heartrending lyrics.
Lucinda is a national treasure. So many awesome songs, and I'm partial to Lucinda's delivery.
Car Wheels on a Gravel Road - a total masterpiece.

You should read his poetry.
Revelation 21; verse 3+4 is about this,+ John 5;28-29. But first Daniel 2;44
Btw, the translation in John 5 is incorrect, where it says "has done" it should be "will do". Just a small grammar detail can do a biig difference
She nailed this one.So did the band. Wonderful!
Thanks that you mentioned the band - just brilliant
Emmylou Harris sings this LUCINDA WILLIAMS' song as a tribute to Gram Parsons.
BONITA PRITSCHET yes,and Emmy kills it!😓

La plus belle et, en tout cas ma préférée, de toutes les chansons de cette immense chanteuse qu'est Lucinda Williams.
Un très grand moment d'americana music. J'en ai les frissons tellement c'est beau.
Covered by Emmylou Harris on her Wrecking Ball album (with Neil Young on backing vocals), the original here is outstanding!
Lovely. I have to say that the Gretsch deserved more viewtime than a few seconds (blink!) at the very end (5.03) Its deep sound all way through was so key to this laid-back song.

Magnifique !
Thank you.☺
Don't wait for hindsight...act now!
beautiful
The album is called "Sweet Old World" 1992
Great stuff as always.
Oh that moment the songs over. They crushed it Stopped on a dime and gave a nickel change
The greatest song. But why slow it down?
...the song was written about a friend of the Williams family who committed suicide...
Kenny Vaughn on guitar
💜💜💜💜💜💥💥💥💥💥🙏
What you love
Is this better than Emmylou version. I think it just tops it.
Pretty woman pretty Song
Cool guitar strap. Probably hand made gift from someone or sumting.
I wonder why Lucinda wrote this song.e I've had three people in my life take their lives.
I always wanted to tell them, but it was too late.
Despair can be fatal.
Anyone know what album this is on?
Blink in an eye

Brunette baby!!
I absolutely love Lucinda but is it me but she’s so off key and out of tune here? I have Sweet Ol World Cd and it so much better...

@@patricias5122 i love the variations of her voice. Saw her live in San Diego. The voice goes with her songs.
