| John Prine – Come Back to Us Barbara Lewis Hare Krishna Beauregard Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| I'm old enough to remember these people - I knew a few Barbara Lewises. They went out in search of peace, love and daisies, and found anarchy and ugliness. Those from her old neighborhood don't recognize her because of what she's done to herself. The flower child life was very rough. | |
| John Prine – Hello In There Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Old folks aren't a different species. I think the song is describing a couple who drifted into obsolescence, without meaning to, and now that they're old, the rest of society marginalizes and ignores them. They did all the right things, and now they're just existing. It's a beautiful and deeply poignant song. |
