100 Things-- #8 EmmyLou Harris, "Red Dirt Girl"
Oh, man. So.
This is a song about two girls who grew up together, about struggle and loss, depression and suicide. And somehow, when I'm down, it always lends me strength.
There is a line; "The thing they don't tell you about the blues when you got 'em, You keep on fallin' 'cause there ain't no bottom, there ain't no end." When I hear that, and I'm down, it rings so true, but it also reminds me of the last time I was down and listened to that line, and it did get better; it did end. Does that make sense at all?
