New song that just came out. Anyone listened to it yet? It’s about abortion FWIW. I think it’s perfectly written and Lord she has fantastic voice

Probably won’t get much love on this board, but there are some powerful/emotional lines in that song.

They do an excellent job of reducing the value of a human life to that of a baby bird. The song has great potential to be background music for a Hoover commercial.

Damn tough crowd

I enjoyed it. I guess it’s because I’ve made a few of my GFs have abortions

I’m a fan of both of them but trying to draw pity to those choosing abortion and taking focus off the murder of a baby is disgusting.

Couldn’t agree more and the article states the proceeds from the song benefit the Yellowhammer fund- aptly named as they celebrate the yellow hammer smashing the skull of the unborn.

Agreed. The article and lyrics are cringeworthy

They are both fine

I’m the biggest trump supporter and ACB supporter but I can look past it. It’s a great song. She reminds me so much of Emma lou harris

Those two are fricking children who grossly over estimate their own self worth. “I got angry” .....my god shut the frick up.

Isbell had a chance to be great. Instead he decided to become a woke bitch who panders to his queen all because she had the balls to tell him to stop drinking when he couldn’t.

Walt,

I don’t what is more stupider, your love of this horrible song or the fact you mentioned Amanda Shires and Emmy Lou Harris in the same sentence. Shires’ voice is more akin to a baby goat getting strangled than it is Emmy Lou’s.

Best,

L Balls

I agree.. I applaud the sentiment and all, but it does not make me want to re-listen, buy or add to a play list..

People who insist that artists not bring up themes that make them uncomfortable don't appreciate art.

Shires and Isbell are known for being outspoken about civil and women’s rights online, a trait she wants to instill in their 5-year-old daughter, Mercy.

“[Mercy] asked me and Jason: ‘I’d really like to fly. Maybe. Can we fly?’ And I was like, ‘You know, the closest we can really get to flying, I think, is finding something we’re passionate about and doing that thing that we love every day.’”


Jason and amanda are passionate about abortion.
