After all the vitriol in recent weeks here is a wee poem for you from Lucinda William's dad.
Have compassion for everyone you meet,
even if they don’t want it. What seems conceit,
bad manners, or cynicism is always a sign
of things no ears have heard, no eyes have seen.
You do not know what wars are going on down there where the spirit meets the bone. |
A poem which inspired Lucinda's 11th studio album from 2014 and one which I picked up recently and one which just about completes the set on the shelves.
It would have been useful to have had a copy of the second song for the Memphis v Nashville series.
Maybe next time around
Lucinda Williams - Compassion
Lucinda Williams - West Memphis
Thisbux a belter too.
