This song has easily one of the best choruses ever penned: 'Hard times.aint gonna rule my mind.' So I 'Haugened' it. Format: Sibelius-created digital score with tabs & standard notation.

Und wieder eine sehr schГ¶ne Platte von Gillian Welch. 'The Way It Will Be', 'Tennessee', 'Down Along the Dixie Line' and 'Hard Times' stand out from an overall good album. It is a sadness that does not claim victory too quickly, that recognizes the slow, lingering effects of loss and regret.Necessary cookies are absolutely essential for the website to function properly. Another very pretty Gillian Welch record. If the album is truly a list of вЂњ10 sad songs,вЂќ then the sadness that the songs contain is a helpful one, something that could help each of us in the sight we bring to our circumstances. And Welch herself admits to nothing вЂ“ if the songs feel personal, it is because the vision of the album, and the quality of Welch and RawlingsвЂ™ harmony and craft, is the result of that 10 yearsвЂ™ wait between albums, that necessary, gestating silence that beautiful words and music require. It is narrow-minded to assume that an artistвЂ™s words are always derived from autobiographical experience. See the brightest ones of all Early in October fall ThatвЂ™s the way that it goes, thatвЂ™s the way While the dark ones go to bed With good whiskey in their heads ThatвЂ™s the way that it goes, thatвЂ™s the wayД«ut 'The Harrow and the Harvest' is not simply a collection of characters for Welch to sing about вЂ“ this album, of all her albums, feels the most personal to me, the most intimate and emotionally wrenching. Discovered using Shazam, the music discovery app. Take вЂњThe Way It Goes,вЂќ a song about a list of characters whose life trials feel both unavoidable and somehow beautiful, touched by something unexplainable, and perhaps holy: Listen to Old Time Religion (Revival Outtake) by Gillian Welch, 134 Shazams. There is a richness here that, I think, draws on Flannery OвЂ™ConnorвЂ™s famous understanding of the American South as being вЂњChrist-haunted,вЂќ a place where vestiges of the Spirit hang over the landscape, powerful and unyielding and true. That 'Gillian Welch' is the name of an acoustic folk songwriting duo (one of whom actually bears the name) is part of the story. If you want to see the image of collaboration, of creative partnership, go see a Gillian Welch concert. So fare you well, my own true love If you ever see me around IвЂ™ll be looking through a telescope From hell to Scarlet TownД«ut there is a complexity to this album that rises above what good country music requires. Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings have been performing. There was a Camptown Man, used to plow and sing And he loved that mule and the mule loved him When the day got long as it. The song вЂњScarlet TownвЂќ spins a legend about a jilted bride whose last words are simple, lyrical curses: Addictions and bitterness, lost acres and repentant lovers fill the songs with a familiar ache, something that you expect from Welch, whose earlier albums both echo and renew the tendencies of the southern traditions that her music inhabits. In a recent interview with Terry Gross on NPRвЂ™s 'Fresh Air,' Welch and her partner David Rawlings laughed about the sound of the new album, which they called вЂњ10 sad songs.вЂќДЄnd the songs are sad вЂ“ when you sing a mixture of folk, bluegrass and gospel, it comes with the territory. Welch must understand this, too, albeit unconsciously. I canвЂ™t help but think that it is a cultural reaction, something unconsciously surfacing across the genres that mark our artistic, political and spiritual reflections.ДЄnd Gillian WelchвЂ™s latest album, 'The Harrow and the Harvest,' is another piece of evidence for what I think is true: we are harrowed and lamenting, all of us, and we need music whose beauty haunts us, music that might help us get by.

At least, the idea of lament - what Nicholas Wolterstorff calls вЂњa love songвЂќ for what is broken and lost in our world - keeps coming up in various places: summer books meant to be read in fun, old essays from my students, collections of art and music. I seem to keep running across laments these days.
