There was a week in 2013 where I listened to this song on repeat. It is a beautiful song, but it is a heartbreaking song, and it was the perfect soundtrack for my life at the time. I hadn’t listened to it since then, because it makes me cry, but it came on during an episode of The Sopranos we watched Saturday morning, and it took me right back to that time. I heard the first few notes and…boom. It’s remarkable how music is tied so closely with memories and feelings.
It may not sound like it from my description above, but I really do love this song. Nobody can hit me in the feels quite like Otis.
