If simple is beautiful this song is a Van Gogh.
This was originally written by guru Willie Nelson (this version
performed by Phosphorescent). I'm always struck by the the actual
"prayer" that Willie offers here when he starts talking about his
family and their prayers. He goes so long without talking to God, then offers up
a short little sentence that almost doesn't make sense yet its bustles
with years of heart...then he "reckons that's all Lord."
It gets me every time. If the words don't hit home just listen
to the simple progression of the guitar.
