When I first heard this, it froze me in place until the song ended. "Is this what it's like?" was all I could think.
Deeper Well
The sun burned hot, it burned my eyes
Burned so hot I thought I'd died
Thought I'd died and gone to Hell
Lookin' for the water from a deeper well
I went to the river but the river was dry
I fell to my knees, and I looked to the sky
I looked to the sky, and the spring rain fell
I saw the water from a deeper well
Well, lookin' for the water from a deeper well
Well, lookin' for the water from a deeper well
I was ready for love, I was ready for the money
Ready for the blood and ready for the honey
Ready for the winnin', ready for the bell
Lookin' for the water from a deeper well
I found some love and I found some money
Found that blood would drip from the honey
Found I had a thirst that I could not quell
Lookin' for the water from a deeper well
Well, lookin' for the water from a deeper well
Well, lookin' for the water from a deeper well
Well, I did it for kicks and I did it for faith
I did it for lust and I did it for hate
I did it for need and I did it for love
Addiction stayed on tight like a glove
So I ran with the moon and I ran with the night
And the three of us were a terrible sight
Nipple to the bottle, to the gun, to the cell
To the bottom of a hole of a deeper well
Well, lookin' for the water from a deeper well
Well, lookin' for the water from a deeper well
I rocked with the cradle and I rolled with the rage
I shook those walls and I rattled that gage
I took my trouble down a dead-end trail
Reachin' out a hand for a holier grail
Hey there, mama, did you carry that load?
Did you tell your baby 'bout the bend in the road
'Bout the rebel yell, 'bout the one that fell?
Lookin' for the water from a deeper well...
Well, lookin' for the water from a deeper well
Well, lookin' for the water from a deeper well

And two more, both from Pam Tillis. I am really not a country fan, couldn't name more than a handful of artists, but this was the music that often touched me the most deeply in the past few years.
And on the lighter side:

If you'd like to post a video, just click the YouTube icon (2nd from right, bottom row, right above the window where you type your reply). You will see this appear:
The cursor will automatically be centered between the 2 sets of parentheses.
Now just copy the "address" of your video and paste it in between the center parentheses, where your cursor should have placed itself.
Now, starting with "https" and working towards the right, delete everything up to and including the = sign. Leave the rest. Don't add any spaces or do anything else. Your video should now appear in your post.
And there is nothing wrong w/posting a link rather than the video; I just wanted to offer the info so that people were able to make a choice between the two. I know it took me FOREVER to finally search out info on how to post images and videos here, but I was really glad to have the info once I DID look it up.

"Deeper Well" just knocked me back several steps when I first heard it, and it still makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up every time. The music, to me, is eerie and powerful, and the words could have come straight from hell.
It shook me right to the ground, no doubt about it.
