"now i spend all my evenings all alone
success has made a failure of our home"

"you never hold me like you used to do
it's funny what success has done to you"

 

[basquebromance]

"the minute you're gone i cry
the minute you're gone i die
i'm like a child
i stare into emptiness
filled with loneliness"

RIP.

they're gonna put me in the movies
i'm gonna be a big star
all i have to do is act naturally

Just last night I saw a blurb on my phone news feed that she's been planning her own funeral.

I guess she had a good run.

May she rest in peace.

Amen.

i'm singing the blues
because after my baby left me
i've lost all i can lose

I had no idea that she was Crystal Gayle's older sister...

To me, they look just like each other, only Crystal of course had the longer hair.

God bless you and Loretta's family always!!!

"Wow RIP Loretta. One of the greats. When I was a kid my mom would play Loretta (and Patsy) non-stop. I was just not into it at all back then…but eventually I grew up. Coal Miner’s Daughter 4 Eva" - The Walkmen singer Hamilton Leithauser

this closes out her debut album, and is by far the best song on it

 

[basquebromance]

there's nothing left for me to do
but cry cry cry cry cry over you

I don't listen to country music, but she was obviously a long enduring icon in her genre.
May she rest in peace..
