A 16 minute track from Miles Davis written for his wife, Betty O. Mabry Davis, whom he married the same month the song was recorded – September 1968.
The song is from Davis’ album, “Filles de Kilimanjaro” and his wife appears on the cover.

I was wrong, I’m sorry and I love you. (First listen)
Derek Webb has a new album dropping in just a few short days.
I was wrong, I’m sorry and I love you.
I’ve practically grown up with Webb – first listening to Caedmon’s Call in high school and college and now following his solo career as I made my way through the world of post-school, married with kids life.
His music has become a life canon of sorts for numerous points in my life.
As others before have mentioned, good art should make us think, question and often challenge the world around us – and Derek’s music has always done just that – including this latest release.
Luckily, you don’t have to wait until the album officially drops in early September. You can pre-order the album today and get an immediate download of the album (along with a number of other special swag packages).
I’ve ordered my copy and I’m listening to the album now. Here are my initial thoughts:
I Was Wrong, I’m Sorry and I love You.
The title track (and first) track on the album starts out with a quiet Derek re-visiting the past as synthesized bells chime in the background. The chorus picks up in a somewhat “traditional” Webb musical style repeating the simple phrase “I was wrong, I’m sorry and I love you.”
When I shared those words on Facebook originally a few weeks ago, my dad made the comment – “nine simple words that can change everything.” I agree.
The song reminds me a lot of Caedmon’s Call latest release (which Webb helped produce), maybe even a little 40 Acres-esque.
And the video for the track is greatness! Bummed I didn’t have time to participate in the crowd-sourced piece of it.

Morning Jam – Snow Patrol and U2: Mysterious Ways
A beautiful video mashing U2’s live performance of Mysterious Ways with Snow Patrol’s cover of the song.
One day you will look back
And you’ll see where
You were held how
By this love while
You could stand there
You could move on this moment
Follow this feelingIt’s all right, it’s all right, it’s all right
She moves in mysterious ways
It’s all right, it’s all right, it’s all right
She moves in mysterious ways
Hard to believe it’s been nearly 23 years since Achtung Baby was released. Crazy!
