Thread Name: When Did You First Hear John Prine??
Subject: RE: When Did You First Hear John Prine??
Thanks Number 6!
I was doing a one-person show on the silences that are found in our society. In "Hello in There," I found John Prine's song about a woman whose gone silent and bone weary as an elderly person who is just dying to talk to be perfect for the show.
Strangely, whenever I sing that song, while I'm singing it and after, I feel very tired. Prine has a way in that song of creating a whole world with such strong feelings and memories for the main character attached to it. A pleasure to perform.
