Found grace.

Saw “Crazy Heart” today.

Such a blessing.

The music was … stunning. And Jeff Bridges: masterful.

I’ll write more later, but here are the lyrics to the song “The Weary Kind,” which serves as the film’s musical theme.
Above, Mr. Bridges plays it for ABC News.

THE WEARY KIND
Your heart’s on the loose
You rolled them seven’s with nothing lose
And this ain’t no place for the weary kind
You called all your shots
Shooting 8 ball at the corner truck stop
Somehow this don’t feel like home anymore
And this ain’t no place for the weary kind
And this ain’t no place to lose your mind
And this ain’t no place to fall behind
Pick up your crazy heart and give it one more try
Your body aches…
Playing your guitar and sweating out the hate
The days and the nights all feel the same
Whiskey has been a thorn in your side
and it doesn’t forget
the highway that calls for your heart inside
And this ain’t no place for the weary kind
And this ain’t no place to lose your mind
And this ain’t no place to fall behind
Pick up your crazy heart and give it one more try
Your lovers won’t kiss…
It’s too damn far from your fingertips
You are the man that ruined her world
Your heart’s on the loose
You rolled them seven’s with nothing lose
And this ain’t no place for the weary kind

Below is a video of the song’s composer, I believe, Ryan Bingham (he has a small part in the film), performing the gorgeous song:
