I'm 63. The first time I heard this songstress was 3mos. ago singing Orphan Girl. I cried. Some sadness that I once loved and then forgot came back to me. How could I have forgotten that beauty is so often coupled with grief? Thank you Ms. Welch.
g7 It happened somewhat longer ago for me, but was the same. This girl is a treasure for sure, so's her accompaniest, Mr. Rawlings. Great comment btw, thank you.
I'm not religious in the slightest,I've never ever believed a word of it but I still love the sentiment in the lyrics of the chorus. She's one of my favourite musicians.
I agree. I think she has such a resonant voice that it just vibrates your whole nervous system in harmony. Like Joan Baez. Rawlings' harmony is incredible too.
she has a true gift , to come out and write songs like that, I have followed them for years and I still dont know what there relationship is, it must be pretty good if they can work together that close for years now.
And Gillian always works real hard to provide great rhythm for David's melodies and David provides great melodies and... expansiveness... for Gillian's lyrics and singing. They really feel their way through this... together. God bless them.
Well, "Justified" and the thoughtfulness of a RU-vid(thank you) patron who saw my heartfelt inquiry about this absolutely beautiful song I'd heard for the first time during a touching scene from the hit TV series on FX Network is what brought me here. Record store, here I come!
This musical couple gas been together for years, blending each other's talents with their own. There are many examples like this one, of the beautiful result!!
There is a chemistry in their performance that has all the combinations of concentration, precision and spirit. Their faces and bodies show something that most modern music videos (that pander to visual impact) do not - the music is "flowing" through them while they are playing it. If you watch carefully, you can see Gillian dancing to the rhythym of David's beautiful guitar work.
@Mozelle57 Well said Mozelle. Rawlings is one of the tastiest , most subtle guitarist s I've ever heard. The close out of Time The Revelator is heartbreakingly beautiful.
David Rawlings is just one fine guitar player. His stuff isn't complex and virtuoso or 'show-off'. It's just that it's tasty! He plays the right notes at the right time. That's what makes a fine musician :-)
david you are so talented and smart to choose such a winner as Gillian , together you will stand the test of time , love your musical union , its old world , and I love that , thanx . . . russellbradfordbanks on f/b old world country musician / sound engineer in Roswell New Mexico living out the western dream , its real here , . . . where I still cowboy
Genius When I'm dead and buried I'll take a hard life of tears For every day I've ever known Anna's in the churchyard, she's got no life at all She's only got these words on a stone We can not have all things to please us No matter how we try Until we've all gone to Jesus We can only wonder why
I lease twenty acres and one Jenny mule From the Alabama trust Half of the cotton, a third of the corn Ya get a handful of dust And we can not have all things to please us No matter how we try Until we've all gone to Jesus We can only wonder why I had a daughter called her Annabelle She's the apple of my eye Tried to give her something like I never had I didn't want to ever hear her cry And we can not have all things to please us No matter how we try Until we've all gone to Jesus We can only wonder why When I'm dead and buried I'll take a hard life of tears For every day I've ever known Anna's in the churchyard, she's got no life at all She's only got these words on a stone Until we've all gone to Jesus We only wonder why
Mego674 I'm a fan of great music and sometimes that includes rap/hip hop and I'm here liking this song. So obviously you're wrong in your assumptions :)
Clyde Jones Close. 1935 Epiphone. Epiphone has just reissued a version of that guitar (Masterbilt Century Olympic model). Fairly cheap guitar that sounds great. The tone is all in the hands anyway.
