How does a nineteen-year-old know that much about heartbreak? John Foster, a young star from “American Idol,” seems to understand it well. He recently shared a cover of the huge Keith Whitley hit, “Don’t Close Your Eyes.” He sits on a couch, wearing a cowboy hat, and just lets the song speak.
The song is about begging someone not to think of an old love. Foster sings it with pure honesty. He is not trying to be fancy. He just sings the words. Another man sits nearby and listens, looking down, seeming to feel every single word. It is a quiet, powerful moment.
