John Prine: I Remember Everything

John Prine began his professional career as a mailman in Illinois. He went on to become one of America's most beloved singers and songwriters. If you are a fan of Folk and Country Music, then you know John Prine. His music was a blend of humorous lyrics about love, life, current events, and songs recounting melancholy tales from his life. Prine was active as a composer, recording artist, live performer, and occasional actor from the early 1970s until his death in 1917 from complications of COVID-19. "I Remember Everything" was the last song John wrote. Published posthumously, it's a simple yet moving song looking back on a life well-lived. Prine may have had a premonition that his life was coming to an end. If that is the case, then "I Remember Everything" is John's epitaph, which he characteristically wrote himself. Here's my cover.
