The lyrics…just straight, simple, consequences. No interpretation, no resolution, no background, no moral. All we need is an unadorned description of what went down. And from that, we get the full picture and impact. Genius. God bless.

She always had such a good band, some serious players there.

Absolutely my favorite country song. Even more than my old country heroes. Its profound. The excellent band makes it perfect. Im usually crying by " his momma believes in the pentacost ".

Her family were tight with a poet laureate. Its said he and Lucinda had their own relationship for a time. Here she doesn't sing about any of that. Instead she writes poignantly ofthe aftermath of his suicide and how it affected different people without interjecting herself more than superficially. Magnificent.

Great poet, Frank Stanford, "The Battlefield Where The Moon Says I Love You," died much too soon. But not forgotten. Thanks, Lucinda, for this tribute to your friend.

HOW IN THE WORLD does this only have 800ish likes.... this country man.... geez... Lucinda is a NATIONAL TREASURE and most people have never even heard of her. what a fuu cked up series of events.

Kenny Vaughn is one of my favorite guitarists to listen to........ he's in touch with tasteful most of the time........ very good feel for the song.......

My God, Lucinda’s voice and a slide guitar

Born and raised in Pineola, his mama believed in the Pentacost!

Country music doesn't get more real than this.

My nephew did the deed back on March 8, 2023. I feel that i've lived this song.

Yep, that's about as good as it gets.

Good to find im not the only one who finds light in a dark one like this

My brother lost a son about that time and this brings it back like a painting, pain fixed in time.

make ‘em feel it boys…great solos…and Kenny Vaughn always tearing it up

The masterpiece painting with music

incredible lyrics, great story telling based from real life, and great songwriting by Lucinda. This song always sends a chill thru me

Magnificent! song! I lost my sweet nephew... a casualty of the Iraq war. I never knew the pain that he was enduring.

Hey Lucy you just made my list of immortal icons with that one

Greetings from Madrid, Spain, Lucinda, I like you music very much. It´s really great.

What a friggin ensemble. Then she starts belting this country dirge. I saw her with a 3 piece band couple of years ago. None of these fine gentlemen. The guitarist was a young buck who was exceptional.

"Dust to dust, ashes to ashes." NOBODY GETS OUT OF HERE ALIVE.

Don't get me to crying … I haven't even had a beer yet.

Wow. Just brilliant. I love Lucinda Williams.

A handful of dust; I just love all of this. Lucinda and the band at their greatest...

Me encanta. I love Lucinda´s music. She is great.

Nice lead guitar..He rocks...

OMG this so good.

I can't stop listening to this rusty jewel

That can’t be beat. Tied maybe, but never beaten.

Flat out amazing...epic.

Premier morceau du formidable concert de décembre 1998. Lucinda Williams est parfaite. Jim Lauderdale est la deuxième voix. Les deux guitaristes sont super. Déjà vingt ans, Lucinda avait 45 ans, elle était superbe !

Great song, great band.

That BAND !

God, this is something, and there is a link to the song Awakening only live

Such a happy, joyous song.

Anything, no matter how good the music she makes may be....it will always take back stage to this womens natural sensuality.

knockout, literate southern story-telling in the flannery o'connor tradition.

Suicide is a terrible terrible mistake; if anyone is in despair they should know that it WILL PASS. Suicide is forever.

searched for so long to hear this song never knew the name

Guess I didn't realize that Jim Lauderdale had played with Lucinda. Cuzin Kenny Vaughan too

I don't dig country typically but I love this!

As real as it gets.

A masterpiece

this shit gets my eyes watering OH LAWD

Hey CMA you've missed a few good ones. She belongs with the Masters

That nerd is really rocking out

It is unreal...

Angel🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

This is a hauntingly beautiful story of loss. Lucinda is a treasure. Is that Jim Lauderdale playing the other acoustic guitar?

I fear that before these guitar players get the recognition they deserve, they'll just be two more van Goths. Why doesn't she have them with her!

10 days before my first daughter was born.

Awesome l

💖💥💖💥💖🙏

I use this for Hey did artwqEd was what adequate I

Absolutely love this concert recording, and especially this song. But is Linda really playing that guitar (just curious)?

Which year was this recorded?

Fuck........

Is that Clapton?
