Try This With “Are You Alright” By Lucinda Williams

by Joe, Malvern, PA

There I was driving to work early in the morning sometime in the spring of ‘07 and WXPN played “Are You Alright” early in the morning. Unprompted by anything other than the lyrics, I immediately started thinking of family members and friends that had passed on and I was overcome by emotion and basically cried all the way to work…

Hey this is a guy talking… this never happened before… what’s happening?

I heard it once or twice more… same thing… I went and bought the album and every time I played the song for a dozen or more times the same thing happened….

Embarrassing? Troubling? Puzzling? Delayed grieving? Lucinda unlocked something good in me… my wife likes it too. Try it. I now live my life a little differently thanks to Lucinda… I try to say her simple words to the people I’m fortunate to meet or talk to each day. Try it.
