    I saw her play this song... stripped down like this, opening for Robyn Hitchcock in Seattle before I ever knew who she was (I think it was late 1990's)-- only time I've ever been moved to tears listening to someone play live. You could have heard a pin drop in the Seattle Opera House. Robyn Hitchcock wouldn't let her leave the stage, after she said "goodnight, that's all I know". He literally pushed her back out on stage, so someone yelled "Play Free Bird".... And she DID. Every last note.

    The song just kills me. It reminds me of the biggest losses I've ever suffered and the complexity, the agony, the sorrow of love.

    This song is an anchor to what I did and what happened. It’s very important to me and I listen to it and cry when I need to remember.
    Thanks Cat! You’ve kept me on the right track…

    I have found a good woman, I love her more than anything. I used to be a bad man. But finding a good woman will change a man for ever.

    • @slint69
      @slint69 Před 8 lety +5

      +slint69 For me this song is all about accepting eachother for who you are and what you went thru. I instantly forgave my woman for what she might have done in the past (even if I knew it or not) and she did the same for me.We both excepted that there was only the here and now and the two of us together.When you fall in love you just erase the tape of your previous life and start recording like it is day one.I still love my woman and for me she is more than a Good Woman for me she is the Best and Only Woman.She did change me for ever and she did make me a good man (at least in her eyes, and that is all that matters).

    I want to be a good woman
    And I want for you to be a good man.
    This is why I will be leaving
    And this is why I can't see you no more.
    I will miss your heart so tender
    And I will love this love forever.
    I don't want be a bad woman
    And I can't stand to see you be a bad man.
    I will miss your heart so tender
    And I will love this love forever.
    And this is why I am leaving
    And this is why I can't see you no more.
    This is why I am lying when I say
    That I don't love you no more.
    Cause I want (to) be a good woman
    And I want for you to be a good man.

    ..the lioness roars
    Like a purr
    Our hearts melt
    Once like steel
    Now putty for artist
    Painter
    Melted hearts
    Opened to the light
    It's ok have no fright
    With Opened light
    From mysterious night
    Somewhere a comet
    Flys across the sky
    To catch the eye
    And free the heart
    It's all allright
