- Western AF presents | The Local Honey's | "Play Us A Waltz"
The Local Honey’s take this heartbreaking Hazel Dickens tune into presents day in a way that only they could. It’s been such a hard couple year with almost all of us, knowing folks who didn’t make it through the pandemic. The pandemic put some of our most vulnerable neighbors into a lockdown that is hard to imagine.
I personally want to thank Montana and Linda for bringing this hard therapy session to the forefront of my own personal life as my family struggles with big choices for people who mean the world to us. Sending you all love.
Brian

My mom was a nurse in a nursing home
Unreal how many people get “forgot about”
Thankfully they had people who cared for them
Much respect to all nurses
This song absolutely wrecked me. We have a 1 year old Labrador that we have hoped to do therapy work with and visit senior living with before long. This song told me that it has to happen.
I just don't have any words... Angels, just Angels...
This song makes me think of my grandma,She adapted me as a baby,my mom,she’s gone now,she lived in a home.
When I said good by,this hits home .
Miss her so much…..
My Poppy languished 20 years in a dementia facility. .
Shell of man he once was in final years...may we all meet our maker in a swift and sweet death from our comfort of home. Love the song.
I worked in nursing homes for 11yrs. This song is painfully accurate yet beautiful at the same time.
My grandma passed away in December of 2020 a week before Christmas. I'll never forget the sound of my mother crying over the news that her mother was about to die any day. My great uncle also passed in a nursing home when I was 12. I'm 17 now and still miss him. He would've been 100 this year. God bless.
Sat here in Austin, TX thinking of my Meemaw sitting in her wheelchair in a memory care facility in Houston the entire song. Meemaw doesn’t know who I am and she won’t remember that I was there to visit her one single minute after I walk out the door. I’m making the drive to see her tomorrow anyways. Thank you for this.
💛 thanks for making the drive.
Heart wrenching. God bless you
"In Color" by Jamie Johnson is a song that will bring me to tears just by thinking about some of the lyrics. It took a long time and many listens through before it got that way for me. This song did it the very first time.
20 years ago, my grand mother suffered from alzheimer's. She was in a care facility that was close enough to visit regularly. After months of difficult interactions, I visited her close to the end. It was then that she had a moment of clarity. We talked for a long time, connected, she had perfect clarity. I thank god, for that one moment, at the end. For those struggling with the same situation...you never know. Don't give up. They're just on the other side, trying to find you.
i have worked long term care for years.. and ladies.. you have given me a new outlook.. while i’ve always loved my residents like they’re my family.. now i will never pass up a “i love you” and a good night hug before leaving every night.. ❤️
covid has been so hard on everybody.. but seeing the heartbreak it’s brought to nursing homes is something i wouldn’t ever wish on anyone..
continue to pray for those who can’t help themselves. and for those who just aren’t at “home”..
God Bless you
These ladies just own this Hazel Dickens song. My grandmother was housed in a convalescent home for 4 years. A major stroke paralyzed her left side and turned a free spirited strong woman into a prisoner.
These ladies never disappoint!
There's nothing like a good cry on a Friday evening to get the weekend started off right
Or a Saturday morning
Or Monday Night.
Honestly, having a good cry is SO underrated! (and i mean that seriosly!) It's catarthic and sets emotions free, that should absolutely be felt and shown.
words can't describe how beautiful this is.
Wowsers…. What a voice
Absolutely Beautiful God Bless You
She has the most beautiful voice I’ve ever heard.
Just watched my grandmother pass in the nursing home march 2024. My grandfather went less then 2 months later in the room next door. Knowing there at rest side by side is very relieving but never makes it easy. This song puts me at peace with the idea of them spending there final months and years at a nursing home. I heard it first last fall but I continue to be drawn back to it. Day after day... thank you for such a beautiful one Local Honeys
The most real thing I’ve seen on RUclips in a long time.
If this doesn't move you just about nothin' will!
Sweet 😘 lovely song and lovely guitar work there's nothing like a waltz
This song is equal parts sad and pretty. Thank you for sharing.
This made me cry
I lost my Gmah last spring. Mom and Dad couldn't visit. No one could. Still haven't been able to lay her to rest permanently. This June she finally gets to lay down next to the old man. It was a rough go. Thanks for that tune. Got me right in the feeling.
the creator blessed this old man...........
W/ Ears, to hear the Beautiful voices that these
two young ladies have
Hope they never stop !!!
That’s about as beautiful as it gets. Thank you.
I’m dedicating this song to my mother. She is in a nursing home with dementia. She is tired and longing for heaven. God bless y’all and god bless momma. ❤️🌲❤️🌲❤️🌲🙏
Your mom can have this one. And all the moms...
My mother was diagnosed with dementia 3 years ago. We are against that big decision in our family. Sorry John. It is a hard disease in such unique ways. I'm thinking of y'all. - Brian
@@WesternAF my pops passed 8 months ago and all my family lives far off. I can’t take care of her full time and I had to make the hardest decision of my life. Since I half to work and my wife is disabled I had no choice. I appreciate your comments. Thank you sr.
I love ya Johnnie Arnett. 🌲❤️🌲👊🪓
Very rarely is a harmony beautiful enough to bring me to tears. This one did.
Such sweet sorrow. It is a shame that it seems these kinds of tales are rarely told nowadays. Pierced me straight through.
Good lord that was beautiful.
The right sentiments for these times. We love you all.
OMG. Just OMG. As J Cooper said below, “Beautiful performance” doesn’t begin to capture it.
This is one of the most beautiful songs I’ve heard. My dad and I both have been wanting to hear it again ever since you played it at the Mercury Lounge in Tulsa, OK.
My grandmother, Lucille, has been in end of life care for many years now and I’ve seen many of those around her pass while she continues on. Thank you for providing language for the things felt by many that are a struggle to articulate .
Thank you for a beautiful song and a reminder to honor our older ones.
I tell you what- I don’t think I’ve heard anything this good and soul wrenching in a long time. “Beautiful performance” doesn’t begin to capture it. This is why we need music. All of us.
Thank you for sharing this intimate experience with us.
I saw what was happening to the people in nursing homes during the pandemic and I felt really bad for them. It's tragic. But what really gets me, is I've wrote a lot of songs while the pandemic went on, and never thought to write a song about it. What a beautiful memorial to remind us to visit the poor, the imprisoned, the elderly. Your insight and your music match the gravity of the moment.
Beautiful and heartbreaking.Just western af.Thank you.
Wish my dad was alive to hear this, his kind of music as it is mine. The late great James King does a great cover but man, I'll be returning to this one. Clean picking with soaring harmonies so pure and perfect, a companion piece for Hello In There. Will send it to my sister who shares my love for twang and sadness because that's what we cut our teeth on.
Good song. I heard it first by the James King Band. Thanks for bringing light on people who are often forgotten about.
Damn. If that don't give you the feels, get your pulse checked. As soon as it was done, I grabbed my wife and kids and made them listen. The kids and I were almost in tears thinking about the nursing home we used to visit and sing at before COVID put an end to it. That was beautiful, y'all. Thank you.
Dear God, how painfully beautiful
I saw them singing live in Huntington, WV a few years ago. Beautiful voices, beautiful souls. Wonderful as always, ladies.
That Hurt So Good💔
Thank you Honeys.x
Music is my best friend
Sitting here drunk in my barracks in alaska far from home crying thinking about my grandma. she got diagnosed with dementia after my grandpa died from slipping in the shower. he was a ww2 vet and a great man. we took her in and even bought a new house so we would have room for her. when she started wandering off during the day we had to put padlocks on all the doors. she started claiming my mom (her daughter) and my dad were stealing from her. we put up with it and i would stay up late to make sure she wasn't wandering around the house at 2am. id stay up and stop here when i heard here trying to sneak downstairs late at night thinking it was the morning. i remember my mom and dad having to bathe her and clean her like toddler after using the bathroom. we put up with it for 3 years before she hit me. she was trying to get out of the house while my parents were at work but i was home from school. i had to block the doors so she wouldn't run out of the house. my amazing, wonderful, loving grandma slapped me in the face as hard as she could right before my parents got home and then did it again while they were present. i almost threw her through a window and screamed in her face i wish she wasn't a part of our family so i could beat her before my dad grabbed me. we forced her into our car and drove her to the hospital where my parents got her put in a home. i never went to visit her until we got the call she was in hospice care. she died while me and my mom were on the way there. my greatest regret in life is never visiting her. i know it would have made the end of her life so much better to have me visit once a week. before dementia took her she was the kindest most loving person in the world and was always over at our house to look after me. she raised me just as much as my mother did and i abandoned her when she needed me most. i hope she has found peace and regained her mind where ever she is now. i love you nan.
@Oban I just wanted to comment to tell you to forgive yourself. She has.
You two are absolutely amazing!!! This gave me goosies and moved me to tears. Thank you for being you!!!
Such a beautiful song…
Love love love
Great band
A little teary-eyed on this Sunday night. Thank you, ladies. What a beautiful song.
The words and the music bring me to a place back when I was a kid, with my grandparents still around. It slows down time and lightens my shoulders. Thank you Local Honeys!
Thank you for the honesty and heart in this. Means so much to us who have lost and kept loving.

Verses G C G / C G / C G / C G
Interlude G C G / C G / C G / C G
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
You walk in the door, you see them sitting there
The old people in shawls and silver wheel chairs
The blind and the lame herded into a room
Where there's no one to love and nothing to do
[Verse 2]
Oh play us a waltz, play us a tune
And I'll pray for you each night in my room
My children are grown, my living is done
Oh say you'll remember, my darling young one
[Verse 3]
Now here in this place, there are no last names
It's Martha and Bill and Sarah and Jane
Everything else has been given away
To the children who don't come visit today
[Interlude]
[Verse 4]
Get them up in the morning and see that they're fed
Lay them back down at night while they cry in their beds
In this worst kind of prison there ain't no parole
No one sets them free, they're unwanted and old
[Verse 1]
You walk out the door and they're still sitting there
The old people in shawls and silver wheel chairs
The blind and the lame herded into a room
Where there's no one to love and nothing to do
[Verse 2]
Oh play us a waltz, play us a tune
And I'll pray for you each night in my room
My children are grown, my living is done
Oh say you'll remember, my darling young one
Oh say you'll remember, my darling young one
Crikey.well done. Simply beautiful.

This is absolutely beautiful, it seems genuine pain releases into the sound of peace. Even if one can't relate it's hard to imagine anyone not being moved by music this pure. Thank you for sharing this with the world.
Beautiful! Privileged to have met you two!
