As the 83-year-old veteran country singer Willie Nelson continues to produce good quality new music with his most recent single, “It Gets Easier”, the country legend offers us a different perspective on death, aging, and the inevitable challenges in life that we’ll face in the future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Willie Nelson, 89, has over six decades worth of experience in the music business, so he knows a thing or two about country music, as well as about life and the people around him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this song, Nelson takes his guitar Trigger by his side and he is buffeted by a traditional honky-tonk arrangement – adding slide guitar, organ, and even an accordion to the mix – bringing to life the song\u2019s touching lyrics that are written by fellow musician Buddy Cannon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s impossible to hear a Willie Nelson performance without recognizing it as one in which he performs, thanks to his charm and eccentric vocal delivery; it’s impossible to hear a Willie Nelson performance without recognizing it as such, thanks to his charmingly eccentric vocal delivery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
With the advancing years that come along with aging, Nelson conveys a sense of freedom as well as the inevitable challenges that come our way, \u201cI don\u2019t have to do\/ One damn thing I don\u2019t want to do\/ Except for missing you\/ And that\u00a0won\u2019t\u00a0go\u00a0away\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
