Gem

I discovered many gems during my stay in Portland over Memorial Day weekend. I must say, however, one gem stood out amongst them all as I began packing for the trek back north. I watched "Crazy Heart" with a friend and fell in love with the movie's theme song, written by Ryan Bingham. The movie is touching and very well-done. The acting, in particular, is top-notch. It isn't the most uplifting movie I've ever seen, but a true portrait of human struggle. Anyhow. The song. Is beautiful. Give it a listen. Bingham has the perfect voice to deliver the song. While the lyrics may be simple, they certainly carry a great deal.
