The lyrics and the lead guitar work are extremely emotive. There is a little cry from George Harrison’s guitar during the song, While My Guitar Gently Weeps that always wrenched my heart a bit. This is like that.

It’s strange how music can free us to our feelings. When my Dad (super antifa guy) died I was not grieving properly. I was numb to it for a year, avoiding all the places and things we did together. Then one morning, nearly a year later, I was driving on an isolated country road while listening to a CD by Eva Cassidy (she was taken from us too soon). One song came on that broke the barrier of numbness. I don’t remember which one because it wasn’t really related to Dad or to grieving. Maybe it was hearing the recorded voice of the dead Eva.

The tears came as I drove along.

My heart goes out to you, Duncanpup, to lose Liz who was so much a part of you as I am sure you were to her. Both of you are lucky to have found each other.

Be strong as you grieve her. Keep her memory bright forever.

From a fellow union and armed forces brother in rural red Texas.

One more edit for those who want to hear “I Need You.”
