"I was so inspired for this song by the incredible story of the love and the grace and the generosity of someone that donates their beloved's organs to help another person live, and this story was so simple and so beautiful for these times and people have been responding to this song partly because of how much I love and we all love John Prine, and that was the inspiration for the music of this song, telling a story from the inside," Raitt continued. Grammy Awards 2023: Bad Bunny Makes the Audience Groove to His Tunes While Performing at the Event (Watch Video).
