it's in arabic, but when I saw them live in the before times the singer said it was about mental illness. from the way he sings it, it sounds like a lamentation about the pain and exhaustion it brings, and how you essentially never get a full reprieve from it. there's grief for everything it cost you.
I’d like to take a moment right now to send out a personal message to a friend,” Colbert said. “Last week, our friend — and yours — the musical great John Prine was placed on a ventilator with coronavirus symptoms. My thoughts are with John and his wife, Fiona, and his family. And everybody out there touched by this virus.”
He added, “I’d like to share with you right now one of the happiest moments I’ve had on my show or any show. And that’s when John and I sang a duet in 2016 that we never broadcast, but we’d like to now.”
In the clip, filmed in the Ed Sullivan Theater, Colbert asks to duet with Prine and then notes: “We’ll probably do this for the internet. Unless, you know, something terrible happens and we have to cheer up the world on the TV show.”
If we are posting sad songs I much prefer the melancholic can't escape from yourself and your problems style than the tragedy everyone died in a car crash style.

it's real sad guys!
It’s like a half step sideways from Willie and the other stuff I like.
John Prine is another one of those Willie types where he wrote a ton of songs you've always liked and you didn't know he did
