^Ha! I forgot that. I probably should have posted in the “what song ya wanna hear” thread.
Seven pages and nobody's posted Marie.

And a lot of these Townes songs were covered brilliantly by Steve Earle - I don't know which versions I like better.

Townes is in the thread (I posted him on the first page), there's so many of his that belong here.
new post john G spaceout to prove I are not bot boi
Methinks thou doth protest too much
Has anyone posted anything from Damien Rice yet?
Blowers daughter
Delicate
Volcano
Elephant
It's probably already posted but the all time classic is of course I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry. The PBS show from the ryman the other night was great. Looking forward to the Ken burns series, even though it will probably be full of self important inanities from shelby Foote wannabes.

By the time I get to Phoenix, she'll be rising
And she'll find that note that I left hanging on the door
And she'll laugh when she reads the part
That says: "I'm leaving"
'Cause I've left that girl so many times before
And by the time I get to Albuquerque, she'll be working
And she'll take off time just to give me a call
And she'll hear that phone keep right on ringing and ringing
On the wall, yeah oh, that's all
And by the time I make Oklahoma, she'll be sleeping
She'll turn softly in her sleep and call my name out low
And then she'll cry just to think that I'd really leave her, I left her
But time after time after time I tried to tell her so
But she just didn't know that I would really go
That I would really go
———————
That first line.
One of the most haunting songs I know.

Always found this song particularly profound
"I don't believe in forced entry. No,
I don't believe in rape.
but every time she passes by,
wild thoughts escape.
I don't believe in death row, skid row or the gangs.
I don't believe in the Uzi, it just went off in my hands
I don't believe in Success, excess is to give.
I don't believe in riches,
but you should see where I live"
And +1 for LS
"He spent a lifetime playing the black man's blues.
and on the day he lost his life, well that's all he had to lose. "
Buddy just sent me this version. Harmonies are nice.

Allison Moorers song about her Dad killing her mother and committing suicide counts. But can’t find a free version.
Inspired by true story...gets me every time.

"Can you free yourself enough to be able to experience the reality of life as it goes on before you and with you and as you go on as part of it or not? Because if you can't, you stand on square one until you die."
Have we posted an Eva Cassidy. Many of her songs are beautifully sad. Her life was just sad.

I'm sure I posted this before but to me it's worth repeated. The longing and heartache he conveys is amazing. Gets me every time.

yeah.. yeah.... I fucking hate the eagles. It's been said.
“I was there when they crucified my lord,
I held the scabbard when the soldier drew his sword.
I threw the dice when they pierced his side,
But I’ve seen love conquer the great divide. “

And as I said then, fuck cancer. And man could she sing.
My wife once drove from PDX to SEA on a business trip with a guy who had just the day before found his gay lover in bed with another man. All he wanted to do the entire trip was play Eva Cassidy and cry.
If we are doing “Over The Rainbow” we have to include Bruddah Iz version
Like Eva Cassidy he died young. Would have been 61 on Wednesday
