bill withers rip
« on: April 04, 2020, 01:50:03 PM »
been listening to his music a lot the last few days  :(



"When the day that lies ahead of me
Seems impossible to face
And when someone else instead of me
Always seems to know the way
Then I look at you
And the world's alright with me
Just one look at you
And I know it's gonna be
A lovely day"

inspiring every time I listen  :tocry

Tells me he's not someone just passing by"

Grandma's hands sooth the local unwed mother
Grandma's hands used to ache sometimes and swell
Grandma's hands used to lift her face and tell her
She'd say, "Baby Grandma understands
That you really loved that man
Put yourself in Jesus' hands."
Grandma's Hands

Grandma's hands used to hand me piece of candy
Grandma's hands picked me up each time I fell
Grandma's hands, boy they really came in handy
She'd say, " Mattie don't you whip that boy
What you want to spank him for?
He didn't drop no apple core,"
But I don't have Grandma anymore
If I get to heaven I'll look for
Grandma's hands

That's one smooth motherfucker.

I've only ever heard his name in passing and have never heard his music. Gonna change that today.




Edit: holy shit, it's the Lean on me and Ain't no sunshine guy.

Sometimes in our lives we all have pain
We all have sorrow
But if we are wise
We know that there's always tomorrow

Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on

I just worked out who this is. Ain't no sunshine and Lean on me guy. However, outside those two songs, I don't really know anything else.

It's there a live album or best of that would be a good place to start?

Just ate Sunday morning breakfast with the family while listening to his music.

 :delicious

I hope his passing was a peaceful as the mood he brought to my house this morning.
