    I owe Mary Chapin Carpenter a debt of gratitude. Her music carried me through the most painful period of my life, from which I have now emerged. Thank you Mary.

    This is the song you need to play in your head the whole time you're waiting at the airport going through TSA screening. Its much nicer than the actual experience. Love Aoife's harmony.

    Hearing Mary sing a slow song almost always brings me to tears. Her voice has a way of communicating extreme vulnerability, poignancy or sadness, depending on the lyrics, that's very hard to duplicate by other singers.

    Ms O'Donovan's voice singing harmony with Ms Carpenter is such a beautiful addition. Wonderful how they come together for other songs as well since. Background here is exquisite to add to the presence of travel to a place over the pond...distance on your own. But of course; perfection and so well done. Phil and Jerry did a fine job.🇨🇦

      Aoife is great! Check out her covers of Joni Mitchell songs, her cover of Springsteen's Nebraska is good too. Her work with I'm With Her (Sarah Jarozs and Sara Watkins) is special too. Their harmony is so good. I especially love Crossing Muddy Waters.

    I used to listen to Mary Chapin Carpenter in the early 90s when her career was really at its peak. Her voice has the most interesting quality to it! Its unmistakable really, She, Trisha Yearwood and the incomparable Kathy Mattea are my three favorite female vocalists. This is very pretty.

    • @petercallaghan9851
      @petercallaghan9851 Před 6 lety +2

      I thought I was hearing Alison Krauss, the first time I heard this song. (I was on a bed-time CZcams loop and this stuck out as something I wanted to hear again - glad I did) And, thanks to you thanks to you, I found Kathy Mattea. I call that a win!

    so simple and beautiful.. this song hurts with joy and longing..... Getting ready as my wife and I often do this time of year to travel half the globe and gather all my kids together .. now grown up.... I'm reminded profoundly how much they sustain me and shape what I value even today. Remembering and anticipating that same unique.. now year old bear hug (that is hard to let go of) when I hit the terminal.
    My travels often span day into night and then 'night into day', and this song captures the experience beautifully particular anticipation on approach. So in appreciation to all those friends and family who have blessed and continue to sustain my sense of well being and my faith by their grace and presence.and continue to feed my 'joy unbounded' to the 'next destination'... to you all...... my heart full and timeless thanks. love ya!

    I first heard Chapin sing in a Capital Hill bar in 1977. She still had several years of paying her dues before her first album, but she was already a star. Wonderful voice, wonderful person and a great sense of humor best demonstrated by Granola Baby and You Wouldn't Know Me I'm Your Opening Act (two unrecorded songs she wrote)

      So well stated. You can watch his face and body, and he just KNOWS, "I can put these two notes here and it will make the moment BETTER", or "I can shut up now and it will be BETTER". He knows how to play so that everyone else sounds better. The mark of a really great musician.

    I last saw Mary perform this just last winter in Manhattan. It was part of an immersive presentation with Gregory Orr, poet as they analyzed Elizabeth Bishop's 'One Art'. She sang but 5 songs during the evening, but what an evening with barely 50 of us there in the audience. Fwiw, we did 'lock' eyes ever so momentarily during this. Moments. Reflections. Beauty.
