Most songwriters have to struggle their entire life to finally get to the point where something like this song is possible: The point where you quit trying to be clever or wordy or “powerful”, and you use the most stripped down language to convey the deepest of emotions. The deceptively simple line “Nobody knows me like my baby” takes on three different meanings through the course of the song. It goes from “she knows my appetites” to “she looks through my lies” to “I will never find another like her”. It’s devastating.

My brother in law once thought Lyle was a country singer until he started listening and now things he is simply one of the best performers and musicians he has ever heard. Few can match Lovett's lyrical brilliance and his music paints another brilliant picture on it's own. I love the guitar on this... I always picture a quiet room with a clock ticking away the minutes of a quiet Sunday morning.

Lyle Lovett is the consumate story teller. The songs he writes and the way he delivers them is pure genius I believe. Lots of folks refere to him as a songwriter and I guess he is...but I truely believe he is basically a poet...and one of the first order. He is unique. Not many artists can consistantly deliver the quality of work that he does.

That was a songwriter's special,and I will be sorry to my dying day that I didn't record it. Rodney Crowell performed one of his songs that left Willie and Lyle speechless and looking like they were going to cry,and both had heard that song a thousand times by everybody they knew. Willie had even recorded it himself. There were a few moments of absolute silence when he stopped singing,and everybody was looking at the floor.
