The Poet Game Lyrics

Cover art for The Poet Game lyrics by Greg Brown

Like OAMM above, my favorite version is by Ani DiFranco on the album Going Driftless, A Tribute To Greg Brown. This is the most played song on my iPod.

This is such an emotion filled, beautiful song. Greg Brown is such a master of word, of imagery, it boggles my mind and makes me smile.

To me this song is about the sweet and the sour of living our little lives and the relationships we have- with lovers, friends, ourselves, our world. It is about remembering and tasting the bittersweet that comes with the memory.

I can't really describe in words what it is this song means to me, all I know is that it speaks to me on so many levels, and it makes me feel warm and comforted every time I hear it. wonderful song.
