It's time for Nanci Wednesday...
This song, So Long Ago, absolutely ranks up there with the best of Nanci's lyrics. She has the gift of telling a complete story that spans several decades in a 4 minute tune. It is an achingly beautiful piece full of specific imagery that allows you to really visualize the scenes she is describing.
This is a sample of the superb lyrics:
Well I saw you once in a crowded bar
And it was Christmas time.
I was frightened by the thunder of our hearts in '69.
Because I live my life in whispers now,
and I choose to live alone.
So I slipped back to the avenue,
and flipped my collar to the cold.
Frakkin' brilliant y'all...
