He wrote the song, and then he watched his best friend sing it back to him. As Willie Nelson and Sheryl Crow performed “Today I Started Lovin’ You Again,” the camera kept finding Merle Haggard in the crowd—not just as a guest, but as the song’s origin story, sitting just feet away. Every note felt like a conversation between legends, a tribute wrapped inside a tribute, where the most powerful applause was the silent, knowing gaze from the man who created it all.

Introduction

Some songs don’t age — they just settle deeper.
“Today I Started Lovin’ You Again” is one of those songs. And when Sheryl Crow and Willie Nelson sang it together, it wasn’t just a duet. It felt like two souls meeting in the middle of a memory.

Originally written and recorded by Merle Haggard (with help from Bonnie Owens), the song is pure country heartbreak — soft, slow, and aching in all the right places. It’s about the kind of love that doesn’t go away, even when you wish it would. The kind that drifts off for a while… then sneaks right back in when you least expect it.

What makes the Sheryl & Willie version special is the tenderness.
There’s no big vocal acrobatics. No drama. Just two voices — one smoky, one weathered — carrying the weight of every love lost and found again.
And if you’ve ever stared out a window thinking about someone, this song? It’ll sit with you for a while.

“Just when I thought time had set me free…”
It hadn’t. Not really. And that’s the beauty of it.

Willie brings the weariness.
Sheryl brings the softness.
Together, they remind us that love doesn’t always arrive with a grand gesture. Sometimes, it just starts again… quietly.

“The 1994 Letter — and Willie Nelson’s Final Silence” . It was meant to be a quiet memorial. No press. No long speeches. Just a few close friends, gathering to share memories of the man they had lost. But then Willie Nelson stepped forward. His hands trembled slightly. His eyes, red and wet, held a yellowed envelope — weathered by time. “My friend… he knew this day would come, a long time ago,” Willie said, his voice catching. Inside the sealed letter, dated 1994, was a truth no one had known. Ozzy hadn’t died from illness or old age. He had made a choice — a final, deliberate act to keep a promise. To redeem something. To make peace with something no one else could see. In his final years, Ozzy had once whispered to Willie: “I’m not afraid to die. I’m only afraid of leaving before I’ve made things right.” To the world, Ozzy was a wild spirit. Reckless. Fearless. But behind the lights, he was still human. He still carried pain. He still worried. And he still wanted to do what was right — even if no one ever knew. Willie had kept this secret for nearly three decades. Until the moment came when silence no longer served its purpose. He spoke — not to shock anyone, not to rewrite the legend — but to finish something his friend had quietly started: A truth. And a redemption carried out in silence.

“I never wanted to be a singer.” Merle’s youth was a string of mistakes: dropping out of school, running away from home, stealing, drinking, getting arrested… and eventually ending up in San Quentin prison, where he first heard Johnny Cash perform live behind bars. That moment changed him. But even after being released, Merle never thought he’d become a singer. He just started writing — about pain, regret, and the rough path he had walked. And somehow, those words spoke to the hearts of millions of working-class Americans. He became known as the “Poet of the Common Man.”
