The Music of Pain


I heard Son Volt‘s “Tear Stained Eye” on eggradio.com just now.

On a reflex, I almosted voted this tune a one(1 = The. Worst. Ever.).

I’ll be damned if I didn’t remember that a good country song heard at that lowest point in your life can almost make you feel…good.

Least it has for me on more occassions than I like to admit.

It sickens me how insidiously country music has worked its way into my life discography.
