Good song!

The lonesome friends of science say
The world will end most any day
Well if it does, then that's ok
Coz i don't live here anyway
I live down deep inside my head
Where long ago i made my bed

I'd never heard of John Prine before in my imperfect world - listened to a few of his songs - he's a funny guy when he talks but the songs (i heard) are soulful/mournful - beautiful voice.

It's very similar to some Aboriginal music. Yes, there's traditional indigenous music, then there are modern blends of that - they're great - but a lot of Aboriginal singer/songwriters like the country and western style with its ballad format - good medium if you've got a sonorous voice and something to say.
