Thank you, Mary, for this post. "I don't want to talk about it now" resonated with me. This song painted my reality of time where I was in a relationship with someone. Fully invested in all the ways of our plans we bought to the table for our future together. Our lives took a turn became toxic the pain the lies the verbal abuse was my wakeup call. Funny all the possessions money lifestyle didn't matter. I just wanted love a real love I was told I could never have or didn't deserve. The joy inside my tears was when I overcame my weakness for a love that was never truly mine; was in of itself liberating. In a weird sort of way pain never felt so good at that time.... who was I fooling. I'm stronger now.

I have always loved Emmylou. I graduated from college in 1976. I have lots of her vinyl albums from that time, and later acquired CDs, including the Trio ones. (I love Linda and Dolly, too!) Elite Hotel is my favorite Emmylou album cover. Thank you for this positive post on her work!
