"I'll take two of what you're having and all of what you got"

To kill this goddamn lonely love...
It's been years since I listened to this and now I cannot stop. I was listening to some Ryan Adams on Youtube, and it brought me to Danko/Manuel duet they did live in concert. I remember though that I was so obsessed with this song.

To think of it I still am. I have probably listened to this thing 30 times since last night. 


After he left the Drive-By Truckers, I kind of stopped paying attention to both DBT and his solo career. I'm probably missing a lot of  good things since that time.

It's funny you go years without thinking about someone and than this brings you right back. 

I love the last four minutes of this video though. Yes it's a sad song, but we need that as people sometimes as a contrast to the happy times. It shows us how far we have come from those dark times. It allows us to see some of the distance. Jason Isbell, I love you for your sad songs, but yes maybe we're not those same sad people now. Thanks for the reminder, though.
