This song popped up on my youtube feed. I originally heard Marcus King’s version. He’s sitting in Carter’s Vintage guiatr shop playing a seriously antique Fender Broadcaster which blends with the tone of his voice perfectly.
I was looking to see it’s original version and found it.
Here’s the original:
Sounds a little cheery, given the lyrics:
There stands the glass that will ease all my pain
That will settle my brain, it’s my first one today
There stands the glass that will hide all my tears
That will drown all my fears, Brother I’m on my way
[Chorus]
I’m wondering where you are tonight
I’m wondering if you are all right
I wonder if you think of me in my misery
There stands the glass, fill it up to the brim
Till my troubles grow dim, it’s my first one today
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
I’m wondering where you are tonight
I’m wondering if you are all right
I wonder if you think of me in my misery
There stands the glass, fill it up to the brim
Till my troubles grow dim, it’s my first one today
That song and the lyrics really resonated with me, given the troubles of a few years ago. Here’s Marcus King’s version:
Some guitars just ring like a bell. What a great rendition, and it can’t be found on iTunes, or any of this music lists I’ve found.
Bummer. And from what I’ve experienced, the answer is No, she doesn’t give one thought to your misery. They rarely do. I stopped caring or even thinking of that years ago.
(FWIW He had a great interview with Joe Rogan. That’s how I discovered him in the first place.)
