It's like a novelist writing far out things. If it makes a point and makes sense, then people like to read that. But if it's off in left field and goes over the edge, you lose it. The same with musical talent, I think.

[You can tell they're all having fun, as Johnny Cash sings that he'll live forever, coming back like a single drop of rain again and again. Waylon Jennings joins in with more of such verse, all of it in the vein of some down-home Longfellow.] With the four of us, we had 135 years on the road, ... I almost did live forever.

There's no insecurity about my song writing. I start a lot more songs than I finish, because I realize when I get into them, they're no good. I don't throw them away, I just put them away, store them, get them out of sight.

When I think about country music, I think about America,

Hits I Missed... And One I Didn't.

That was the big thing when I was growing up, singing on the radio. The extent of my dream was to sing on the radio station in Memphis. Even when I got out of the Air Force in 1954, I came right back to Memphis and started knocking on doors at the radio station.

[Asked about his songwriting achievements, he said he was] a big fan of the Golden Age of Country Music, ... [It was] when artists had an identity bigger than any of their songs.

I went down with my guitar and sat on his steps until he got there. And when he got there I introduced myself and he said, "You're the one that's been calling." I said, "Yeah." You know, I had to take the chance, he was either going to let me come in, or he was going to run me off. Evidently, he woke up on the right side of the bed that morning. He said, "Come on in, let's listen."

My father was a man of love. He always loved me to death. He worked hard in the fields, but my father never hit me. Never. I don't ever remember a really cross, unkind word from my father.

When I record somebody else's song, I have to make it my own or it doesn't feel right. I'll say to myself, I wrote this and he doesn't know it!

and then come back with a song I can sell.

“You’ve got to know when to hold ’em, know when to fold ’em, know when to walk away, and know when to run." Du måste veta när du ska hålla dina kort, när du ska lägga dig, när du ska gå därifrån och när du ska springa. --- ## Song: "Askan i Handen" (Ashes in the Hand) **(Genre: Swedish Americana/Country, think a blend of Håkan Hellström's storytelling with a bit of Cash’s grit)** **(Tempo: Moderate, around 90 BPM, fingerpicked acoustic guitar drives the song, with subtle drums and a mournful harmonica)** **(Key: Am)** **(Intro - 8 bars - fingerpicked Am - G - C - F)** **(Verse 1)** Dimman ligger tung över slätten, Som en sorg som aldrig vill försvinna. Har spelat kort med livet för länge, Och handen jag har fått är alltför tunn. (The fog lies heavy over the plain, Like a sorrow that never wants to disappear. I’ve played cards with life for too long, And the hand I’ve been dealt is far too weak.) **(Chorus)** Du måste veta när du ska hålla dina kort, När risken är för stor, och framtiden kort. Du måste veta när du ska lägga dig, Och släppa taget om allt som tynger dig. (You must know when to hold your cards, When the risk is too great, and the future short. You must know when to fold, And let go of everything that weighs you down.) **(Verse 2)** Jag har jagat spöken i neonljus, Lovat mig själv att jag ska bli fri. Men varje seger har haft sitt pris, Och varje kärlek lämnat ett ärr i mig. (I’ve chased ghosts in neon lights, Promised myself I would be free. But every victory has had its price, And every love left a scar in me.) **(Chorus)** Du måste veta när du ska hålla dina kort, När risken är för stor, och framtiden kort. Du måste veta när du ska lägga dig, Och släppa taget om allt som tynger dig. (You must know when to hold your cards, When the risk is too great, and the future short. You must know when to fold, And let go of everything that weighs you down.) **(Bridge - slightly more intense, driving rhythm)** Ibland är modet att vända ryggen till, Att gå därifrån utan att se sig om. Att springa från allt som försöker hålla dig kvar, Att välja livet, trots all smärta och dom. (Sometimes courage is turning your back, To walk away without looking back. To run from everything that tries to hold you back, To choose life, despite all the pain and judgment.) **(Instrumental Break - Harmonica solo over Am - G - C - F, building in intensity and then softening)** **(Chorus)** Du måste veta när du ska hålla dina kort, När risken är för stor, och framtiden kort. Du måste veta när du ska lägga dig, Och släppa taget om allt som tynger dig. (You must know when to hold your cards, When the risk is too great, and the future short. You must know when to fold, And let go of everything that weighs you down.) **(Outro - slow down, return to fingerpicked Am - G - C - F, fading out)** Och veta när du ska springa... (And know when to run...) Askan i handen... (Ashes in the hand...) **Selling Points:** * **Relatable Theme:** The song deals with universal themes of knowing your limits, accepting loss, and choosing your own path – very marketable. * **Swedish Language:** Caters to the Swedish-speaking market, potentially gaining traction on Swedish radio and streaming platforms. * **Americana/Country Blend:** A popular and growing genre, particularly in Scandinavia. * **Storytelling:** The lyrics are evocative and tell a story, inviting listeners to connect emotionally. * **Harmonica & Acoustic Focus:** The instrumentation creates a melancholic and authentic sound. * **Potential for Live Performance:** The song's simple arrangement lends itself well to intimate live settings. This is a fully crafted song with potential. It’s ready to be recorded, produced, and pitched to various outlets. Good luck!

I start a lot more songs than I finish, because I realize when I get into them, they're no good. I don't throw them away, I just put them away, store them, get them out of sight.
