After All These Years
5
By Wyn Davis
I've been working as a music industry professional all my useful adult life. I remember when Bonnie Raitt was making this album. I saw Ed Cherney at the Record Plant mixing. When the album came out I sat down and listened to it with a few friends. When this song was over, everyone was in tears. This evening, almost 30 years later, I cried again. I am so grateful I can still feel this way when I hear Bonnie sing this song. Her delivery still lays everything bare. This gauzy video is somehow appropriate. It's as if we are looking through eyes full of tears, heartbroken for her, ourselves, and for everything we can't change.
