The Weight - Gillian Welch & Old Crow Medicine Show

Gillian Wlech — I Dream A Highway

While I could type out the lyrics, that would be pretty useless. It’s not that kind of song. It demands be be heard, that you actively listen. Close the eyes and be pulled into the the hypnotic drone. Could you call acoustic guitar picking and Gillians voice for droning? Probably not, but it is that same… function.

Some people, poor diluted people, might say “fifteen minutes for one song? That’s stupid, and unnecessary.” These, I have nothing to say to. Beauty like this is never unnecessary, it is the closest I’ve come to meditating where I just drop everything and just become content. For fifteen minutes it is okay to be who ever one might be and for that moment all the dreams seem at least plausible.
