Emmylou Harris wrote two that are so beautiful and so sad, if you need to cry, Boulder to Birmingham:
"I don’t want to hear a sad song full of heartbreak and desire
The last time I felt like this, I was in the wilderness, and the canyon was on fire
And I stood on the mountain in the night and I watched it burn, I watched it burn"
And also in the same song she sings - “well you really got me this time, and the hardest part is knowing I’ll survive” wow.
If that somehow doesn’t work, Red Dirt Girl might.
"She loved her brother, I remember back when
He was fixing up a 49 Indian
Told her, little sister gonna ride the wind, up around the moon and back again
Well he never got farther than Vietnam, I was standing there with her when the telegram come for Lillian
Now he’s lying somewhere about a million miles from Meridian "
Orange soda.
With my third baby, she did not want to come out (in stark contrast to her sisters, who all seemed to want to give me about one hour of advance notice before getting born) and the midwife said, before trying induction, try castor oil, sometimes it will kick the labor on. Not a spoonful, no. A whole bunch. And don’t puke it out. I chased it with orange soda because I liked it but figured I could certainly manage without it.
Oh God. I couldn’t even look at orange soda without nausea for several years. And it didn’t even work, I still had to get induced!
