I've only recently become musically acquainted with the artist Slaid Cleaves, born in Maine and living in Texas. This weekend, I present to you a heartbreaking song, Lydia, about a kind, wise old woman who can't quite pull her life together after the death of her son.
Oh, Lydie, let him go. The boy is gone.
Her mother struggled as she tore him from her arms.
Oh, Lydia, your tears are heaven's rain.
But she never was the same.
