[心得] Brad Paisley, Alison Krauss - Whiskey
今天在翻歌突然就翻到這首，過了那麼久再聽還是悲到不行，
一邊看MV一邊聽歌整個心情就變得很沈重，MV和歌曲搭得實在
太好了。
轉眼間這首歌已經過八年了！

後來去翻了wiki，把這首歌的故事了解一下。
作者之一John Randall當初剛和也是歌手的Lorrie Morgan離婚，
接著又唱片合約也沒了，所以他整天買醉和沉溺性愛中。後來經紀人
跟他講了一句話"Hey man, every now and then you've got to
put a bottle to your head and pull the trigger."
John Randall記住了這句話，接著就下定決心寫進歌曲裡，後來就
和Bill Anderson完成了這首歌，最後被收到Brad Paisley '03專輯
Mud On the Tires裡。
後來John Randall也把這首收到他自己的專輯Walking Among the Living裡。

歌詞：
She put him out like the burnin' end of a midnight cigarette
She broke his heart he spent his whole life tryin' to forget
We watched him drink his pain away a little at a time
But he never could get drunk enough to get her off his mind
Until the night
[1st Chorus]
He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger
And finally drank away her memory
Life is short but this time it was bigger
Than the strength he had to get up off his knees
We found him with his face down in the pillow
With a note that said I'll love her till I die
And when we buried him beneath the willow
The angels sang a whiskey lullaby
(Sing lullaby)
The rumors flew but nobody knew how much she blamed herself
For years and years she tried to hide the whiskey on her breath
She finally drank her pain away a little at a time
But she never could get drunk enough to get him off her mind
Until the night
[2nd Chorus]
She put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger
And finally drank away his memory
Life is short but this time it was bigger
Than the strength she had to get up off her knees
We found her with her face down in the pillow
Clinging to his picture for dear life
We laid her next to him beneath the willow
While the angels sang a whiskey lullaby
(Sing lullaby)
