Such a beautiful and heart wrenching song. You can tell from the look on his face during the opening lines that this is not an idea he just thought up. This is something he lived and still feels it. The magic is that he makes us feel it, too.
This set at the Opry House truly shows Willie at his very best as a writer, player, and singer performing his songs his way with full vocal power and guitar mastery.
The album version does an excellent job of catching that feeling of disbelief and empty like lightening in a bottle. I really adore this song. It’s a stand out on the best country concept album of all time
This is probably my favorite performance of Mr. Nelson! His distinctive vocals along with the sound of his nylon guitar makes for a truly spectacular performance. I hope to see him soon :)
"I Still Can't Believe You're Gone" and "It's Not Supposed to be That Way" are two beautful tracks from my favorite Willie Nelson album, "Phases and Stages."

I remember Willie at this time. And I often visualize him as he is here. Then I see him as he is 45 years later at 87. He shows how fast life is. Willie reminds me to beware of, and appreciate every moment of life. Never say things like I can’t wait for tomorrow. Life is too short to lose even a moment. Thank you for being a good friend who I never met.
It only I had known Willie back in the time. He would not Ever had believed I was Gone. Cause I would have stayed. He was a naturalized. Would have LOVED him to the end. BELIEVE ME. He never knew how to choose his women.
