Man.  My wife and I are empty-nesters, have been for a few years.  It's like a whole new marriage.  We connect, we love each other, we relish the moments we have together.  But those moments also come--necessarily--in the back half of our lives.  As we can see our mortality from here.  If We Were Vampires fucking shreds me.  Just gutted.  It's an amazing song, and I love it and hate it.

Here's one I haven't seen posted:

Love.  Loss.  Time, and that loss never goes away.  

Lydie lit a cigarette today
Ancient fumbling fingers in her way
From a forty year old coffee cup she sipped a bit of gin
Closed her eyes and let the memories in

 

I come from "cigarette and forty year old coffee cup" people.  I can see, smell, and taste this song, and the grief.

The first time I saw Slaid he was doing a solo gig at the Waterloo Ice House on 38th & Medical Parkway.  He was new to town having come from Maine.  He was unspectacular, very raw, but there was something there.  Maybe a half dozen years later "Broke Down" came out and everyone exclaimed in unison "holy shit".  One of the best records ever to come out of Austin.

Another for the Lord Huron fans.  Never released on an album outside of a soundtrack and for some reason hard to even find a decent version on Youtube.

I missed the year they played it at Red Rocks.  I probably would have broken.

Heh.  A friend of mine used to room with Paula Cole at Berklee.  She was also a singer-songwriter.  She about lost her mind when Paula hit it big and she didn't.  (Never did.)

Two things...

I miss Charlie Robison.  Goddammit.

And second....I will never NOT be madly in love with Kelly Willis.  Man. She kills me.
