| Lucinda Williams – Essence Lyrics
| 14 years ago
|
I also love this song -- the way it puts the songwriter's desire right out there, plain as day -- "the utter need" as musicISmytruelove put it. Few songwriters are as bold as Lucinda Williams and able to write a line such as "Please come find me and help me, get fucked up."
I recently read somewhere that Lucinda Williams had a bad heroin addiction for several years. If so, her drug use clearly informs the lyrics, as the words she uses to describe her total dependency on who she desires seem to be a perfect description of drug use. In fact, one could almost argue that the song is about loving drugs. |
