Lamentation by Erin Wolf published on 2022-04-03T04:45:02Z Copyright Erin Wolf 2022 Song note: My hometown is in the midst of extreme heartache and grief. Sometimes, there really aren't words, and coherent phrasing is just... gone. Please listen with care, and if you're a praying type, please pray for Oliver, his family, and their community. -- sometimes, you just don't have the words and anything more would just be for the birds tragedy hits again you take it in and maybe, if you're like me, we pray i bought flowers at the supermarket today silly, i'm sure, 'cuz i didn't even know your name yesterday but i know it now so i'll sing out it's the only thing that i've got left to say i'm sorry this is how it ends sorry it couldn't have been sorry ... so inadequate ... ooooh ooooh Lord, have mercy on us Lord, have mercy on us Lord, have mercy have mercy Genre Folk & Singer-Songwriter Comment by Claes Absolutely heart wrenching song and performance. A rare glimpse into someone's personal relationship with their higher power. Very brave, and beautiful Erin. 2022-04-09T20:34:06Z Comment by James Tristan Redding This is really reminiscent of a few of my very favorite Bob Schneider songs (the guy who inspired me to create song a week) where it's pretty clear he isn't trying to impress anyone or sound eloquent, he's just hurting and doing his best to get it out somehow. ("Changing Your Mind", "Losing You", "Slower Dear"). 2022-04-05T02:48:47Z Comment by niki s palpable sorrow and pain Erin-Thank you for sharing in the midst of it all. xo 2022-04-03T23:20:06Z
