Nothing better than live music, amiright?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apparently this is a song inspired by gospel music, and written about wrongfully imprisoned &#8220;criminals&#8221;, but the last verse of the song seems especially timely, given the supposed witch hunts that I hear about so much about from a certain huckster-turned-politician. Here are the lyrics to that verse:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Down here next to me in this lonely crowd<br>Is a man who swears he&#8217;s not to blame<br>All day long I hear him cry so loud<br>Calling out that he&#8217;s been framed&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So here we are, living in the most digitally connected yet most socially isolated times, all realizing how lonely we are in this &#8220;lonely crowd&#8221;. To me, the answer is not to fight tooth and nail to avoid blame, but accept our roles and complicity however possible, and fight for a better tomorrow. Together.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But hey, it&#8217;s just a really good song, too. I hope you like my rendition.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-1801-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"http:\/\/aaronlmiller.com\/alm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IShallBeReleased2-93020-3.42-PM.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/aaronlmiller.com\/alm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IShallBeReleased2-93020-3.42-PM.mp3\">http:\/\/aaronlmiller.com\/alm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IShallBeReleased2-93020-3.42-PM.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n\n\n\n<p>Taylor 114CE Acoustic\/Electric with Garage Band.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I first heard this song on &#8220;Music from the Big Pink,&#8221; but I love the&nbsp;version from The Last Waltz best.
