Williams, Lucinda - Sweet Old World Lyrics

Ilove lucinda im 60...shes still doin her thing at 68...you a badass lou! I seen you n Lauderdale

Bruce is listening!

My god this is so beautiful. Even more so than the version she recorded.

good song but love it by EMMYLOU H

She wrote it though

Love you Lu! Such a beautiful song.

Stunning.

Such a beautiful song. How many of us have lost those we love to a drug overdose. To many for me to talk about

a sweet and tender kiss,, did you think you were worth anything?

I will always listen to this beautiful song when i have thoughts to leave this sweet old world, like now.

just saw your comment. it was 3 weeks ago and i truly hope you are in a better head space and more positive today.

@Kathy Woods i'm ok. Thank you.

It may not always seem like it, but this really IS a sweet old world... i’m trying to hold on as long as I can - hope you stay too

Had no idea what this song would be about. It touched on many thoughts I've had, in my recent state of mind. My lovely daughter died in early November - presumably not by suicide, but possibly due to her choice to continue to take Adderall, to which she was addicted, & occasionally Lamotrigine, which badly affected her sleep, & may have caused her to black out & fall to the floor, unconscious, about a year ago. When she took that 2nd drug, she had scary sleep apnea, snored horribly, & moaned with each exhalation, which she was too conked out to be aware of. Drugs like these are prescribed liberally, which I feel is a mistake & irresponsible. When I read the side effects, I sure wished she'd taken natural approaches instead, to deal with anxiety. She had so much potential.

Tears are still rolling down my face. I lost my best friend ever & wish I'd been able to intervene & steer her away from such potent, destructive, lab created drugs. Even if they didn't cause her death directly, they do damage the heart, so, may have been the cause . She had just turned 33 yrs old...days before, and I still don't know why she died. Many prescribed drugs - if you read the side affects, make people more prone to suicide. Many troops are prescribed strong, addictive drugs & are killing themselves. Most of the mass shooters in the US were on psychiatric drugs which may have moved them to become murders, & yes...this side affect is also among the symptoms listed.

I keep on recalling things we we'd talked of doing together, & had put off. It seemed we had plenty of time ahead...She had so much creative talent, & was wonderfully witty. Her friends are missing her, too...It hurts to think of all the things she never got to do. I am deeply grateful for the time we had. She was a gentle soul...She would've loved this song too.

I lost a daughter to drug overdose. The pain is unbearable.
I also lost one to cancer and the pain is still unbearable.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I hope your burden grows lighter until you meet her again.

Such a beautiful song, especially in my case and many others who have lost somebody very close to them. ❤️Thank you Lucinda Williams for such an amazing song that means SO much to many people and fans!

This song is genius. An example of how subtle she is, and elegant.

Searingly poignant.

Selfish I, it always concerns me when ours go. Who might care about me now😕

A beautiful song for those of us left behind by someone who should be here to grieve by & remember, love you Thank You Lucinda

Your my Girl!

Sweet,Sweet,Sweet!♥️♥️♥️

Did you not think you were worth ANYTHING...?
