In the two years since the world said goodbye to Carrie Fisher, it’s been made terribly clear just how talented an artist, important a figure, and interesting a person she really was. Fisher’s daughter Billie Lourd, an incredible talent herself, continues to showcase the majesty that is her late mom with messages to the world like the one she shared on December 27, the anniversary of Fisher’s passing. Lourd met the piano with a rendition of the Jackson Browne-penned ballad “These Days,” and recorded a video for fans to enjoy and to allow themselves to be moved by.
The song, originally written by Browne in 1967 for artist Nico, has seen its share of covers, notably by Elliott Smith. Lourd’s take on the number, while reverent to its classic shape and tone, is indeed uniquely moving given all that we know not just about Fisher herself, but about the relationship shared by the women. As for the rest of us, we were lucky to have an artist like Carrie, and we’re lucky to have one like Billie.
