Discover the story of the song > Way Over Yonder In The Minor Key – Joel Rafael

The protagonist talks about how he used to live in Okfuskee with his partner, who teased him about his looks but also admired his singing. They would spend time together by Buckeye Creek and in their holler tree, where they could sing freely. However, the partner's mother didn't approve and punished them harshly with a switch. Despite having left that place and having been with other partners, the protagonist still believes that there's nobody who can sing like him.
