“We can’t always be with the ones we love, but that can’t stop us from saying ‘I love you.' I wrote this song one May when I was far away and couldn’t be with my mom on Mother’s Day. Then I called and sang it into her answering machine when I knew everybody’d be sitting down to eat. Here is the original home demo for the song, recorded on a portable reel to reel.”
-- Gillian Welch
