This is my absolute favorite song by my favorite artist for more than a decade. I’m just now realizing the talented Adam Egypt Mortimer helped to visualize this song through a music video. Wow! I’m speechless and hopelessly in love with this song now forevermore. Such beauty! That said, I see them each time they visit Nashville. Benjamin Burnley is a phenomenal song writer. Since I was 8 yrs old, I’ve been composing piano music.. writing each song out by hand on composition paper.. Painstaking, absolutely but I feel it to be more genuine and appreciative of the masters before me (Rachmaninoff is a GOD) BUT sadly, I’ve never possessed the talent for writing lyrics. My emotion is portrayed within the runs and notes connecting each measure. I have insane respect for Sir Elton John as well but much like him, I’d need another master like Bernie Taupin to fit lyrics to my creations as well. Mr. Burnley needs none of this. Somehow he spins words of pure gold to match his creativness. If I possessed his ability, my words would closely match his own. No other such poetry has been as close to matching how I’ve survived my own experiences. I do my best to detail my life through the use of minor tones and 6/8 beats. I wish I could know how complete it must feel to be able to match words to such candid flow but that’s never to be. For that, I’m forever grateful to this group for sharing their gifts with the rest of us.
