My soulmate and soon to be wife just passed January 8th. She was 26. We have been together for almost 4 years and we’re homeless fentanyl addicts that had finally gotten sober. I got clean first showed her it could be done it took her a bit longer but she had finally got clean and god took her. This song was meant for me to hear this brought me to my knees. This is an absolute masterpiece and you are so so talented. This is going to be a go to for years to come when i’m missing her. I love you Hope Lanae in this life and the next and the next after that. 🖤♾️
I feel you 💯, 3 years ago my husband and I were over celebrate recovery and he wanted to step down, it wasn’t a month later I caught him using, fuck dope!!! He oded a year and one month after I left him , I just couldn’t stay and watch him , I had to protect my children too😢
I lost my sister on my daughter's first birthday to an overdose,while my husband was working on the opposite coast of me, this whiskey myers song pulled me out of the dark places I was in. I even bought myself a harmonica, the other day my 4 year old heard your song and we played our harmonicas together too it. I love you're version and would call you a friend, keep on playing and keep on going love 💜💕 to anyone that needs to hear it today, you deserve to be here. It will be okay ♡ thats how your song makes me feel.
I play blues harmonica, you have a follower, welcome to my world and it is so cool that you play with your daughter, wish I could, but don't have any children except 3 that belong to friends taught them all to play 😎👍🎵👍🏻🎶
WOW!!!! I'm coming up on a year of losing my Wife to alcohol on the 17th... One of our greatest love was music just like this. Thank you, for given me a few minutes of Heaven!!!!
@laurahlouisa1254 Hi do you have professional management? If yes, please let me know their contact info. If not, I'd be interested in working with you. Thanks and in any case happy holidays!
i hope not because she seems like a sweet smart girl. No need to add that crap to her life. I think she will go far in terms of using her brains and not her voice and have a family with a good man.
Same! It's funny because it brought me to tears at one point. First time hearing the song and the singer both. Near the middle, second time the harmonica hit, gave me tears and shortly after a bit of a smile and laughter. Then the lyrics said "I saw you laugh through the tears" or something like that, and I was pretty surprised. Definitely felt connected to the song. Nice twang in the voice, too. Makes me wanna learn harmonica even more
I don't get why the narrator of this tale in the song completely disregards intervening in the life of this woman he is clearly interested in. It seems to me a tale of a young man who doesn't have the balls to shoot his shot at this girl and then proceeds to judge her silently while she crystal meth kills herself out of some pathological interpretation of Abrahamic values or pathological Abrahamic value who is to say. What is the take away from this song? What I am I supposed to observe with the help of the narrator or what questions does he bring up?
I've know a lot of people for a long time,meth and heroin are 2 drugs that have the power to change you forever. You can try to help them all you want. My friend got out of prison for using meth and when he got out I told him he could use my spare car to get to and from a new job. He relapsed and totaled my car, fled the scene and the cops knocked on my door. I told them I lent it to my friend. When they questioned him he told them I was lying. This was someone I knew for 20 years. They are clean now but things are different. His personality is changed forever. You have to understand these drugs can cause people to change forever. Not every one but iv met more people it's ruined than not, people who came from good places. Sometimes there is simply nothing you can do or say to help, no matter how hard you try.
@@graham8624 let me explain this for you. Every sentence has presuppositions, lyrics are a juxtaposition of sentences. I'm not suggesting this song has no presuppositions or meaning what I'm saying is that what it is saying is garbage because it tries to justify inaction and holier than thou judgement because we're all born in sin whatever the fuck that means while in reality I would argue the person described in this song is just being a giant puss and douche.
Thank you for making this cover. I've endured a lot of loss from overdose and suicide. I found this song about a week ago and I've listened to it at least a hundred times now. Between the message, the melody and your voice, it helps soothe the pain of those that I've lost.
Got that thick and sweet voice like honey but also has that haunting edge in her voice which lends itself well to the Neil Young haunting side that Whiskey Myers is clearly exposing when they first sang it!!!
My ex overdosed on heroin about 5 years ago. The first day I met her, she told me I was dumb for flirting with her but still I won her over. I miss her very much. RIP Caitlin 😔
I love when an artist can perfectly blend beauty and sadness in their sound. I know this is a Whiskey Myers song but I prefer your rendition. Well done!
@@guccigabbana.8284 I’m long past the whiskey and all them pill’s and powder’s zzz. LMFFAO! But I’m still trying to get broken hearted over them beautiful country girls who can play their guitar and sing like an Angel! You don’t even stop loving anyone you’ve opened your heart too and you can only waist your time trying…. You do definitely love several throughout your lifetime if you have been lucky enough!
@@DaveyBlue32 I say the best shot we got at this is to go spend some time over the countryside, I've never been there, at least not for a long time I'm a city boy, I definitely now plan on renting a truck and hitting them empty roads that nobody takes, I heard west Virginia has the greatest country people.
Rest assured, it’s not the drugs. I only smoke the green stuff and thats it. in my case, it’s health problems and it’s the kind that are not easily fixed. I’m not going to say what it is bc I don’t want sympathy or sad comments.
Hey I dont know your condition is and sorry you are going through that. But Idk if it is something the right nutrition and diet can do a tremendous amount of healing to the human body. Look up jordan peterson and ken berry doctor. Best of luck my friend@@doopstoop4656
@@doopstoop4656kinda in the same bout wit you! Have smoked bout my whole life. Whole fam does. We're from Southeastern KY, ain't legal, but half the fam has grown back in thw hills, since before I was born. Anyways, I was on drugs (opiates) for 16yrs, got sober, finally, then 7 months later, outta no where, woke paralyzed, from the chest down(T3) Dr's dont.know why. Then here jus 5 months ago, I developed seizures, an of course, Dr's don't know why. But the medicine they could put me on, that would stop the seizure, causes insomnia, so I've found, this cover of the song, is calmin thru these long nites, an days. It also hits different these last cpl years, as my brother, my best friend, has been strung out on meth the last 2.5yrs since our grandmother who raided us, passed away on his bday. He'd never been on drugs. He watched me, in an outta prison when I was younger, was always there for me, an I never thought in a million years, our roles would b reversed. Crazy how life is!! I'll b prayin for you...an know ur not alone!! An if you ever need anything, don't hesitate to reach out to me🙏🧡
Clicked for the looks. Stayed for the talent. Beautiful cover. Edit: I've listened to this probably 50 times since that original comment. Amazing in so many ways.
You have inflections in your voice that send chills up the spine. It's the voice of that one particular woman every man on here has experienced...fell madly in love with, lost, and will never be able to see again. Kind of haunting and nostalgic at the same time. I sure hope people catch on to how talented you are.
Absolutely stunning from start to finish! Serious skills being able to strum and play a harmonica at the same time!!!!😮 You are an instant sensation!!! Keep going!!!
Amazing example showing where real talent doesn’t require being provocative and giving your morals up…. I’ve had this on repeat keep it up you got a real pretty voice an gift.
Never ever stop Laurah, it's truly soul capturing. Your covers are therapeutic and captivating. First time I've heard this I cried like a baby. I think your versions sound better than the originals. Your voice has a rarity I can't express in words. The black cut out is also very fitting for this. Don't stop doing what you do, blessed and privileged to hear your angelic voice. Thank you for sharing. Dream big and keep soaring towards to the stars.
Amazing voice, gave me goosebumps! I felt a little bit of Mazzy with your voice. You killed this song and put me down a wormhole with all your music. Makes me tear up how beautiful you sound. ♥️
