I've become somewhat "spiritual" oriented since our son died four years ago. I've been told about monarchs as the souls or reincarnations of the dead, and about cardinals bringing us messages from the dead. I don't believe these tales, because I'm too damn logical and scientific, but I like to think about the meaning of those tales. Maybe, just maybe......... So the song, "Cardinal" really slugged me in the heart......"Are you really bringing me a message from the other side?........" I want to believe, but I can't, but I still wonder.

We have lots of cardinals in our yard. Coincidentally, I noticed a large increase in their numbers since Tom's death. Could it be? Nah, but give me those moments of dreaming, that's all I need.

Plus the song is good, and it links Kacey Musgrave to one of her "mentors," John Prine. Story from KVAK Radio:

Kacey Musgraves released her sixth studio album Deeper Well earlier this year, which included the track “Cardinal,” inspired by the death of Musgraves’ mentor and friend, John Prine. Now, the seven-time Grammy-winner has debuted the “Cardinal” music video, which opens with a hallucinatory over-the-shoulder shot of Musgraves’ reflection as she sings into a pocket compact mirror.

Musgraves met Prine in 2015 when she joined him aboard his Cayamo: A Journey Through Song cruise, where they teamed up for his songs “Illegal Smile” and “Paradise.” The pair reunited two years later to sing Prine’s classic “Angel from Montgomery” at the Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, Colorado.

“Cardinal” is the opening track on Musgraves’ Deeper Well, which dropped in March, and the singer explained the song’s connection to Prine: “Unexplainable things started happening and cardinals started showing up on my doorstep soon after my good friend and mentor passed, John Prine. He always had a big connection to cardinals and felt that they were messengers from the spirit realm. He inspired this song, no doubt.” (per American Songwriter).

After Prine’s death, Mustraves told PEOPLE: “They say you shouldn’t meet your heroes, but you’ll never meet someone as truly genuine as he was. There are two times I’ve ever seen my dad cry: my Memaw’s funeral and the time I got to play with John Prine.”

An, oh by the way, John Prine was born and raised in Maywood, Illinois, less than a mile from our house here in Illinois.

In his honor, one of his songs, sung by him:

Oliver huffed. He was flushed and his body hurt in ways he hadn’t known it could. “I can’t believe I let you convince me to do that,” he breathed. Yoga stressed him out. It was always one of those stress relieving techniques that he suggested for clients -- that and meditation -- but truth be told, he was awful at both. The idea of thinking about his breathing caused his panic hike to exorbitant levels. Before he knew it, he’d get lost in thinking about the breath -- something he never had to think about -- and rather than calming down, he’d find himself in the middle of a panic attack. “Let’s put this on the list of things we’ve tried once but will never try again.”

Where : Cedar Creek, Maywood, ME

When : Present, May 2020

Sharing balcony to drink or smoke cigarettes with the kid you used to babysit was nothing short of strange. It didn’t matter how old Lucie was, twenties or not, Liv still saw the gangly twelve year old that needed to be carted off to the local dance studio regularly. Which was why listening to the all of the noise coming from Lucie’s apartment at three in the morning felt particularly annoying. It was too similar to having to fight with her to go to sleep all those years ago. 

Liv also had a sleep condition and the noise wasn’t helping. She kicked open her front door with a glare, Tabby Cat dangling from her arms helplessly, and stomped down the hall. If Leo was in the building, he was probably going to hate her for what she was about to do.

Olivia reached Lucie’s front door and slammed the sole of her foot into the wood three times. She paused, waiting for the music to stop. Tabby Cat meowed in her arms. 

“It’s three in the morning, Luc,” Olivia said, scowl deepening.

ALL ABOUT LUCIE

— Gender/Pronouns: CIS Female, She/Her — Date of Birth: July 23rd, 1993 — Place of Birth: Maywood, Maine — Current Residence: Cedar Creek — Occupation: Singer/Songwriter — Faceclaim: Phoebe Tonkin

BIOGRAPHY

Trigger Warnings: Depression, parent death, cancer, alcohol, drugs

Lucie had dreamed of moving away from Maine as long as she could remember. Waking up in the dazzling city of New York with an apartment with views as far as the eye can see, going for drinks at trendy bars in, riding the subway on the morning commute, going to the theatre whenever she wanted and getting lost in the city that never sleeps.

That was her life for a while, but it never lasted. New York is where she wanted to make something of herself but with her party lifestyle and the skyrocketing prices of city apartments, she was forced to leave and move home.

Her childhood had been pretty average. She grew up in a typical two up-two down house with her mother and father and younger sister in a fairly nice side of town; your perfect nuclear family. She went to ballet class on a saturday morning, rode her bike in the street after school and had slumber parties with her best friends. Everything was normal until she turned thirteen. Her dad got sick, terminal cancer, and passed away the following year, leaving her, her mother and sister alone for the first time ever. Her mom tried hard to be both parents, I mean she really tried but life took its toll. She eventually crumbled under two jobs, just to make ends meet and fell into a deep depression leaving Lucie to take the reins. She did what she could, taking a part time job as soon as she turned sixteen, working after school and on weekends, but that still wasn’t enough. Her mom flipped between drinking and passing out in a drunken stupor and scarcely left the house - until they were forced to sell. The only joy the sixteen year old found was her weekends at the dance studio where she could sing and dance her little heart out until her reality was long forgotten, until this too became too expensive to continue. It was as if every ounce of happiness she once had was crushed into a thousand pieces and taken away from her until all she could do was write sad songs until she felt a little better.

Against all odds, after working full time and saving every penny she had for a year, Lucie landed herself a place at the prestigious TISCH School of the Arts in NYC on a full scholarship. It took everything for her to leave her Mum and sister but she had to try and make a life for herself and that wouldn’t happen if she stayed in the same sad neighborhood all her life.

New York was supposed to be her clean slate. But you can escape from the place all your problems lie, but that doesn’t mean they don’t follow you wherever you go. She worked hard and four years later she graduated. That summer she was determined she would audition and find a job and put her training to good use but nothing happened. So she partied. She drank. And she got high. Unintentionally following the footsteps of her own mother while she wrote songs, desperately trying to get them heard. Almost three years passed and aside from playing small gigs at seedy underground venues, nothing happened and she was broke. She only had one option; move home. This was the last thing she ever wanted to do, but after almost seven years away, Lucie was returning to Maywood.

But this wasn’t her giving up. This was just her starting a new chapter.

LUCIE O’CONNOR is currently played by Pippa.

[vrgamertc]

John Prine was an Army veteran walking a U.S. Postal Service beat in Chicago and writing songs on the side when Kris Kristofferson heard him and helped spread the word about Prine’s gifts. Pretty soon, he resigned as a letter carrier; his supervisor snickered, “You’ll be back.” Nearly 50 years later, this January, he was given a lifetime achievement Grammy for his contributions to songwriting. The singing mailman almost always had the last laugh.

Prine, who died on Tuesday from complications of the coronavirus, was legitimately unique. He took familiar blues themes — my baby left me — but filled them with whimsy and kindness. He liked a saucy lyric, and wrote movingly, in character, of the quiet lives and loneliness of humdrum people. He seemed like a Zen sage and offered an uncynical live-and-let-live morality in his songs, writing in a colloquial voice that revealed a love of the way Americans speak. He showed how much humor you could put in a song and still be taken seriously. He had less in common with any other songwriter than he did with Mark Twain.

He grew up in Maywood, a western suburb of Chicago, and was reared by working-class parents from Kentucky, where he often spent summers with relatives and fell in love with country music and bluegrass. By 13, he was performing in rural jamborees. When he debuted in 1971, in his mid-20s, he sounded like an old man already, so years later, when he got old and went through two cancer treatments, he still sounded like himself. From his first to his last, he wrote songs that were tender, hilarious, and wise, without grandstanding any of these traits. Here are 15 of the best.

‘Angel From Montgomery’ (1971)

“Angel From Montgomery,” his best-known song, begins with a little declarative startle: “I am an old woman, named after my mother.” It’s an incisive and terrifying look at the dissatisfactions of a bad marriage and a woman’s sense of being economically trapped in her misery. Bonnie Raitt recorded it three years later and uncovered some of the song’s dormant melodies.

‘Your Flag Decal Won’t Get You Into Heaven Anymore’ (1971)

Prine’s self-titled 1971 debut album is a playlist all its own; it has more great songs than a lot of respected songwriters have in their entire careers. The moral stance of this sprightly folk-rock ditty is a response to what he saw as sham patriotism during the Nixon years, and it remains relevant: “Jesus don’t like killing/No matter what the reason’s for.” Prine, a former altar boy, stopped playing it live for a number of years, but when George W. Bush became president, Prine said, “I thought I’d bring it back.”

‘Hello in There’ (1971)

Some fans and critics are put off by this song and its slightly lesser companion, “Sam Stone,” which they see as performative displays of sensitivity toward the vulnerable, or what we now call virtue signaling. Yet somehow, we don’t ever criticize singers for signaling vices and meanness. Prine sings in the voice of an old married man with a dead son, who spends his days in silence and loneliness, and who at the end of the song, asks people to be kind to the elderly.

‘The Frying Pan’ (1972)

For his second album, “Diamonds in the Rough,” Prine assembled a small, mostly acoustic band and pursued a front-porch, Appalachian simplicity. Like a lot of his songs, this one takes a lighthearted view of domestic complications: A man comes home and discovers his wife has run off with a traveling salesman. He cries miserably, recounts what he loved about her (“I miss the way she used to yell at me/The way she used to cuss and moan”), and full of pride, comes to the wrong conclusion: Never leave your wife at home.

‘Please Don’t Bury Me’ (1973)

For people who love Prine’s music, there’s some small solace in listening to his songs about death, which have the same sense of mischief and acceptance as the ones about broken marriages. (Try “Mexican Home” or “He Was in Heaven Before He Died.”) The narrator is dead, and as angels explain to him how it happened, they also recap his last wish: to not be dropped into a cold grave, but to be put to practical use, as an organ donor: “I’d druther have ’em cut me up/And pass me all around.” A kind of recycling anthem from his terrific third album, “Sweet Revenge.”

‘You Never Can Tell’ (1975)

Almost like an apology, Prine concludes “Sweet Revenge,” a grieving, downhearted album, with an exuberant Chuck Berry cover, one great writer nodding to another. The Memphis R&B guitarist Steve Cropper produced the record and put together a crack horn section, which pushes ahead of some barrelhouse piano. Prine wasn’t a rocker, but he could rock.

‘That’s the Way the World Goes Round’ (1978)

Prine seemed to have an unlimited ability to expand and vary songwriting structures and perspectives. This track, which has been covered by Miranda Lambert and Norah Jones, has two verses: In the first, the narrator describes a drunk who ��beats his old lady with a rubber hose,” and in the second, the narrator gets stuck in a frozen bathtub (it’s hard to explain) and imagines the worst until a sudden sun thaws him out. Both verses illustrate the refrain: that’s the way the world goes round. Even when circumstances are bad in Prine songs, he favors optimism and acceptance.

‘Iron Ore Betty’ (1978)

A lot of Prine songs celebrate physical pleasure: food, dancing and sex, which he gallantly prefers to call “making love.” The working-class singer in this soulful, up-tempo shuffle feels unreserved delight at having a girlfriend (“We receive our mail in the same mailbox/And we watch the same TV”), and wants us to know he and Betty aren’t just friends (“I got rug burns on my elbows/She’s got ’em on her knees”). OK guy, we get it.

‘Just Wanna Be With You’ (1980)

A stomping number from “Storm Windows” in the style of Chuck Berry, with the Rolling Stones sideman Wayne Perkins on guitar. Prine’s lyrics don’t distinguish between reality and absurdity — they don’t clash, they mix — and here’s one more way to say you’re happy and in love: “I don’t even care what kind of gum I chew.” And another: “Lonely won’t be lonesome when we get through.”

‘Let’s Talk Dirty in Hawaiian’ (1986)

Prine had a sideline in novelty songs, which give full voice to his comic absurdity, throwaways that are worth saving, including the 1973 semi-hit “Dear Abby,” and this now-problematic number from “German Afternoons” inspired by a paperback book called “Instant Hawaiian.” Prine and his co-writer Fred Koller began making up Hawaiian-sounding nonsense words full of sexual innuendo, and Lloyd Green added airport-Tiki-bar bar steel guitar for maximum faux authenticity. You can say Prine’s loving disposition makes the song OK, and you can also say it doesn’t.

‘All the Best’ (1991)

After five years away, Prine returned with “The Missing Years,” a Grammy-winning album produced by Howie Epstein, Tom Petty’s bass player. The singer in this gentle, masterly miniature claims to want good things for an ex-lover, but feelings aren’t simple: “I wish you don’t do like I do/And never fall in love with someone like you” twists the knife. Now recording for his own label, Oh Boy Records, Prine was about to hit a hot streak.

‘Lake Marie’ (1995)

Bob Dylan, who was a huge fan, called the haunted, mysterious “Lake Marie” his favorite Prine song, and who are we to disagree with Dylan on the topic of songwriting? Even though Epstein’s booming production draws too much attention to itself, “Lost Dogs + Mixed Blessings” is full of winners: the simple, loving ballad “Day is Done,” the rapid-fire doggerel of “We Are the Lonely” and the calm, ornery “Quit Hollerin’ at Me,” where Prine tells his wife that the neighbors “already think my name is ‘Where in the hell you been?’”

‘In Spite of Ourselves’ (1999)

Prine was diagnosed with cancer, and doctors removed a tumor from the right side of his neck, which took away his already-modest ability to project his voice. But incredibly, his stolid singing was now perfect for harmonies, and he cut a duets album called “In Spite of Ourselves” with female country and Americana singers. On its one original song, Prine and Iris DeMent trade backhanded compliments (“She thinks all my jokes are corny/Convict movies make her horny”) that read like a divorce complaint, but turn out to be only pillow talk.

‘Some Humans Ain’t Human’ (2005)

At seven minutes and three seconds, this track from “Fair and Square” is the longest song on any of his studio albums. A cloud of slide guitar keeps this soft waltz afloat and allows Prine to express his disapproval of, if not contempt for, so-called humans who lack empathy for others. There’s a couplet that is clearly about George W. Bush, and Prine noticed that some audience members were surprised by it. “I never tried to rub it in anybody’s face, but I thought it was pretty clear that I wasn’t a closet Republican,” he told the Houston Press.

‘When I Get to Heaven’ (2018)

In 2013, doctors removed the cancerous part of Prine’s left lung, which sidelined and weakened him. It’s hard now to listen to his final album, “The Tree of Forgiveness,” which was nominated for three Grammys, and not think that Prine heard the clock ticking louder. There’s so much tenderness in “Knockin’ on Your Screen Door,” about a man whose family left him with only an 8-track tape of George Jones, and in the elegiac, reassuring parental entreaty “Summer’s End.” In the last song, “When I Get to Heaven,” Prine describes his ideal afterlife: a rock band, a cushy hotel, a girl, a cocktail (“vodka and ginger ale”) and “a cigarette that’s nine miles long.” He removes his watch, and asks, “What are you gonna do with time after you’ve bought the farm?”
