Yeah, well, the verse that got me was, he said, I had a wife and family when they locked me in a cell, but I'll be here in this prison now till my body's just a shell. And I bet that little girl of mine doesn't realize or know that her daddy's been here 18 years and still got life to go.

Because the loss, you know, when that happens, when somebody gets incarcerated and when somebody goes away to deep time, you know, the ones, the innocents, die hinter mir geblieben sind und wach sind. Denk nicht darüber nach. Eine Merle Haggard-Song, die ich oft über die Jahre gesprochen habe, die mich mehr über Songwriting als junger Junge erinnert hat. Ich habe mich auf den Rekord geschaut.

Als ich den Lied gehört habe, hat er nur einen Vers. Es heißt »Holding Things Together«. Es beginnt mit einem Chorus. »Holding things together ain't no easy thing to do. When it comes to raising children, it's a job meant for two.« Und die Perspektive ist, die Frau hat die Familie verlassen, nicht die andere Seite. Normalerweise hat der Mann verlassen. Aber er ist allein mit den Kindern verlassen.

Und er sagt, Alice, bitte glaubt mir, ich kann nicht weitergehen, mit dir zusammenhalten. Er sagt, aber der Vers, der einzige Vers in der Liede ist, heute war Angie's Geburtstag. And it must have slipped your mind. I tried twice to call you with no answer either time. But the postman brought a package I mailed some days ago. I signed it love from Mama so Angie wouldn't know.

You don't get any more poignant than that. This is a dad that has to cover for the mom that's left, you know, the old blues song Motherless Child. Sure. There's nothing worse. Yeah. Because I watch, you know, I've got a little guy in this album. Yeah. Brighter Days is an Outgrowth. He sings at the end of one of them, right? He does, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He prompted my writing the song.

Which one was it? Brighter Days, the title track. As I looked at him, we were in the height of, at that point, two years into COVID. He's about two years old. He was born in 2020. And what a strange experience, you know, like my living my life in reverse anyway. It's like I thought that possibility for me... Yeah, you were out. Yeah, well, I didn't think... I'd always thought...

I would have children, you know. And you look around one day, John Lennon's famous quote, life's what goes on when you're making other plans, right, you know. And there he was and there he is, thanks to my beautiful wife, Emily, who came into my life, you know, some years before.
