I am a 72 year old granny whose 39 year old son had a massive heart attack and died May of 2010. I just found this CD with about 10 different songs that he recorded for his library in 2002. So, I thought I'd listen to it to see what songs he liked. This was one of them and I gotta say I kinda like it as well. Very nice. Now, I'm off to hear My Father's Eyes by Eric Clapton. My son was Charles Douglas (Doug) Pruitt.

something odd about the way she says his name... gets the feels stirred up.

the dignity of it maybe
also very poignant the way she is on this journey through his song library to try to feel a connection with him

There's a lady in my building who lost her son to a heart attack around that age and also lost her daughter to alcoholism. Husband just went into a home. Reminds me that we've been saying we want to have her up for coffee some time, nice woman and lonely.

I was about 6 or 7 when I would play this game with my older brother. We spent hours achieving as much as we could in this game. because of this, I have always wanted to be the hero like the one we played in the game. unfortunately, my brother has passed, and the world isn't as magical as this game. or at least it isn't, yet

Joanne Starr2 years agoIt was 1987 An older kid named Craig brought his tape out to the front porch and started to play the album "hey you have got to listen to the new album" huh. I had never even heard the last album. More and more songs played. The night was warm ,the air filled with the sounds of the Substance album. as Craig played it over and over. From that day on I was a New Order fan.. Sadly My friend Craig Passed away a few years later. I always remember Craig when I play this album. My youth, My friends, Peace. Music lives on....

Gxxxxxxx xx xxx4 months agoMy dad died in April 2018 aged 63 years, he was a big fan of Cream, we never paid much attention to him about music but when he died we googled the band and sat together, brothers and sisters, quite emotional. We don't know if this was his favourite tune or even rated but we all agreed it's the sort of thing he would have loved, as best we can guess. We do he was a Cream fan for more than 40 years. RIP Dad the last great generation of British people are leaving us.
Rxxxx Pxxxxx3 months agoGxxxxxxx xx xxx I can guarantee you that this is one of his favorite songs. My deepest condolences on your devastating loss. I read this song was about the draft. You should check out Blind Faith. Eric Clapton and Ginger Baker are the guitarist and drummer here. Jack Bruce on bass and vocals. Unfortunately Ginger and Jack disliked each other so Cream broke up. You may have heard of Steve Winwood, he's a child prodigy and musical genius. I think you'll find great comfort in Sea of Joy, Can't Find My Way Home and Presence of The Lord. I'd bet your dad loved Do What You Like on the self titled album Blind Faith. I lost my mom 11/27/14, unexpectedly. It was the day after Thanksgiving. My dad followed her in March of 2016. The pain never goes away, I don't think. It does become tolerable. Best regards to your family.
Mxxxxxx Oxxxxx2 months agoImagine your father, age 13, hearing this song for the first time and loving it. It is also highly likely that he or one of his friends bought the album and there was a listening party of their close buddies where every cut on the double album was played back to back. I hope that is a good (imaginary) memory.
I am wondering if your meme is from the Bayeux Tapestry.

SurvivrsSurvivrs11 months agoI first heard this at a funeral for a 15yo kid who was one of those kids that all parents wish they could have. Beautiful November day in Iowa and 4 friends took one of their dad's pickups out for a joy ride. Two boys, 2 girls, and being the good kid, he let the girl next to him wear the seatbelt. They were on a gravel road, not hurting anyone, but I guess the boy driving lost control and rolled the truck in the ditch. That great kid was killed instantly because they had the windows open and without a seat belt, his head was crushed and he died instantly. I was less than 2 months away from having our second baby. This boy's mom was our babysitter. We'd had a fun day, bought some cheap bread, took our 2yo to a familiar small lake where the geese were tame enough that they would come and take bread from your hand. I had a series of pictures. My little boy took the piece of bread from dad, took a bite himself, then a goose came close and he held out the bread so the goose could chew off a bite, then he took another bite, and we still remember that day as if it was yesterday. We were back in town, sitting at DQ having ice cream cones when 2 ambulances went flying by with lights and sirens going, and we knew it was bad, but not how bad until an hour later when we got a call that we would have to get someone else to babysit. When my husband got off the phone and turned to me and told me what happened, I couldn't believe it. We went to their house where many others were already there. That kid's older brother picked out 2 of the songs for his funeral. This one and Somethin' to believe in by Poison. The funeral had to be held in the high school gym because there wasn't a church or any other place big enough to hold everyone. That was 1990 and it just never goes away. 3

I lost my unborn child today. Immediately went to my records when I got home. This is the first I picked out of many, accompanied with my fifth of Jameson I am coping...thank you for your music Lily's...the sadness is white washed in melancholy shoe gaze that deserves recognition beyond "today's music". People don't listen to emotion anymore and it's a God damn travesty....I love that you calmed my soul even the slightest and I sincerely thank you from the bottom of what's left of my heart. Keep it up.

SurreySlum2 years agoThis song reminds me of my dad. Vietnam vet addicted to heroin and alcohol played this song almost every night with a glass of whisky.... childhood memories
Cal M1 year agoI will always remember My father was such a strong and cruel man. He used to listen to this so loud on those long trips to the lake. He always looked at me and would say never be like me but he was always so strong and mean. Later in life after living the same life I realized he actually wanted a good life for his kids but couldn’t do it because of all the bad stuff and it breaks my heart because he actually was a good man.
Jordan Ellington9 months ago (edited)My brother and I were junkies doing the whole “idolizing heroin” shtick for years. I got clean and worried about him, crying each time I heard this. He finally passed away last June after his umpteenth overdose and I can barely listen to this now without bawling. He left behind a beautiful big eared pitcher of his own. Addiction is a bitch but the addicts in our lives are just loving, struggling people like you and me. Never give up on them, never support their habit, but never turn a cold shoulder either
Robert Mckenna9 months agoI have loved this song for many years, and though I tried self-medicating, I found that all the dope in the world would not take away the horror a soldier is subjected. Worse, I remember as if it was yesterday that warm enveloping feeling of peace, quiet, and emotional security, rushing through my body, lying to me, telling everything will be alright, and too even worse is the memory of using calls to me even with over 16 years of sobriety. The music of John Prine in this song helps people understand the complexities and interaction of drugs and alcohol in a relationship, a family, and society. No Pain No Gain

jr johnston1 year agoWhen I was getting my drivers license I had to take the driving class at a nearby public school. When we drove up to the lawn I saw a most beautiful girl sitting on the green grass....her legs tucked up under her skirt. She was the kind of girl that is so beautiful ...it makes you sorry. Her name was...you guessed it...Joanne ... and I could not help it...I loved her. She used to meet me here and there ...never letting me see where she lived or meet any of her family. MAN I had it bad. Finally she walked me through the woods to an old house I had seen before...thinking it was empty. Crying she explained that she was a foster child...and had suddenly been told she had to leave...to where she did not know. Now at 62 I hear this gentle song and remember the girl...Joanne.

Justin Olson4 months agoMy grandma's name was Virginia and we called her Gramma Virgie. She passed away while I was in the ICU following open heart surgery. I was 17 and the only thing I could think or talk about back then was being a cattle rancher. She'd smile and tell me about granddad and his big herd.
Well, I've got my herd now and I'm raising show cattle on the farm she and granddad built together.
I must not have grieved properly when she passed because this came on one day while clipping for a show and I broke down sobbing in front of the college kids I have working for me. It was so cathartic.
Idk why I'm telling a bunch of strangers but this feels good too.

This song makes me think of December 31, 2008. I was in the hospital having a baby I named Sarah who didn't make it. The next day I started chemotherapy for the cancer that took my daughter the day before. Not knowing if I'd live for my husband or my other children was scary. Thank God I'm still alive. So hearing this really touches a sensitive spot in my heart. Thanks Sarah for getting me through this.

"It was 1971, I was 31 years old, a low almost suicidal point in my life after I got out of the service. I drove up to Topanga Canyon above Malibu and stopped at the Corral. A young lady asked me to play this song on the jukebox. We chatted and in the end she changed my life. Strange but true. Joanne McDonald...here's to you where ever you are!"
