Steve Earle--Lonely are the Free

The closing credits of "Leaves of Grass" that brought me to tears at the end, with Steve Earl on old kapok guitar and hoarse voice -- are as meaningful as the title: loneliness is freedom.
As I get older, fortunately, my troubles seem to be less and less. Unfortunately, sometimes I always feel down, and a feeling as thin as a thread keeps dangling in my mind.

Not every good movie has resonant music, Steve sang it. Just like when you are sad, you just want to hear Faye Wong's unique and long abyss voice, and also have the quiet feeling of Eason Chan. As if singing it to myself, the feeling in the author's heart is also the perfect description of the feeling of exhaustion I feel after watching a movie late at night.

Lonely. The emotion that human beings cannot overcome is the loneliness of losing a brother, the loneliness of losing a career, and the loneliness of losing a parent. Abandoning the hustle and bustle of the world and experiencing the grief of life and death, loneliness will become the deepest feeling in the heart, even in the crowd, the sad moment that is not felt by others will arise spontaneously.

This hoarse voice is like the depression and uneasiness in my heart when I sit in a KTV. The chaotic local English is like the feeling of countless noisy voices echoing in the ears. Looking at the blades of grass, I was about to finish listening to this ending, I heard the whole room darken, and I heard the sound of my lonely heartbeat.
Just like the feeling of cannabis slowly invading the body, I want to laugh, and I want to indulge and suppress.

    Actually it has nothing to do with the leaves.
