She's phenomenal in general.. but this song gets to me a bit. I know it's about her husband, Blake's brother dying, and I know its about death... but something about it makes me think of Dad.
Maybe I'm crazy, probably actually. But anyway, the song is beautiful.
SO the lyrics, "but you went away, how dare you, I miss you. They say I'll be okay, but I'm going to ever get over you."
He's my father, obviously I'll never get over losing him. But at the same time, I feel like it gets across the bit of anger I feel towards him. I know it isn't his fault, but there are still times I get angry with him for this disease. I get angry because this isn't the life we were supposed to be living& I get angry because all of these great years with this amazing man that I don't remember.. I was too little or busy being a selfish teenager. There are plenty of people who tell these great stories, but I can barely remember this man they speak of.
A different take then what it was written for, but it brings up shame, guilt and a dash of anger.
But it is a great jam : )
