certainly different from SE. I love how he played roots music in a way totally different from his Dad and TVZ. Though lone pine hill to me sounds like it could have been from any of the 3 of them. His talent took him to his own unique place beyond 2 namesakes. I am going to miss him dearly and am thankful for all of the music and stories he shared...RIP JTE💗
Great memories from the Annandale Hotel,Sydney Australia.2011. There was probably 40 people in the pub! Seemed like he was talking to me personally so did every one else! RIP Mate.
unfukinbelievable how good this is. this man. goddamned wat an artist. his songs--like this one--will long keep him remembered as a phenomenal one--ask anyone who knows.
Interesting, so I think he was saying this song is about telling the wrong thing to someone you love when they're telling you the world is coming down around them. He gave her maybe a hard truth, but wasn't what he should have said in her despair, and drove her away.
I think he told her the right thing..but that's not what she wanted to hear at that time..I believe Anna was still in the denial stage and wasn't ready for cold hard truth.. 'it's YOU who needs to change'..but that's what's great about great lyricists they're always open to interpretation.
