Tell Me One More Time

I took this photo on September 26, 2024 

as I was playing one of my favorite songs,

on endless repeat and singing,

and also had been writing an eulogy,

in retrospect, for my Dad and Mum.

And yes it was 2 days before Kris died,

in his home in Hawaii, on September 28, 2024.

He was 88 years old.

So I was bringing us altogether

one more time, like the old days.

And next day I was playing 'This Old Road",

another in that trilogy of albums,

the other being "Feeling Mortal".

The framed poster

of Kris Kristofferson with his guitar at the 2008

Live At The Olympia Theater- Dublin, Ireland,

is one of my collection, and came with the CD

'Closer To The Bone'.

It has the lyrics which are rolling on the rhyme.

So brilliant and quintessentially Kris, 

and why I repeatedly love singing with the album.

'Tell Me One More Time',

 is title of song by Kris Kristofferson.

 

I have been buying and playing his albums since 1971,

and do listen very often so I know all the lyrics.

I saw him solo live in concert in Adelaide in 2019.

Here are some words written yesterday on abc.com.au

"As with so many of Kristofferson's songs,

he whispers in your ear from some kind of warm

and transcendent philosophical place, 

offering comfort, perspective,

and the possibility of hope when all is lost.

'For The Good Times',

is a masterclass in empathy and simplicity,

being able to capture

the most complex angle on the human condition,

all with a few well-placed words.

I'll be listening to these songs forever."- Henry Wagons

 

Blessings, peace, truth, freedom and big-hearted Love,

will live on for The Pilgrim.

My heart is deeply grateful for all his creativity 

and deep soul expression.

Love Bee xo
