... beyond beauty ... one can hear the love between those two ! August 7th, 2014 I wanna thank all of you for coming along on the lawns of real beauty ♥
I lost my mom last June. I buried her on my 20th birthday. My relatives literally had a lit cake for me at the wake. She was the only person i truly had in this world. She died suddenly of a heart attack at 56. This song reminds me of her❤️
I'm still grieving my greatest love, my best friend, my mother. It will be 12 years in November and I ache for her as if I lost her recently. She was the only human to truly love and like and accept me. I feel broken. I'm sending love. I don't know what else I can do.
I'd like to know what about this reminds you of her, if you don't mind saying. My heart always feels broken. I feel very sad that your mother was so young. My mother was 76, and that feels far too young.
@@RebeccaLynnMusic It's always a terrible loss; always too early. I think the loss will always be with you when you lose someone really close, let alone your mom; that's as deep a connection as one can have. However, I do think it's important to find peace within yourself, and I wish you and the other person who started the thread, good luck with that; please lean on the people who care about you. It is worrying to me if you really believe nobody else cares, accepts and lives you; I hope you're exaggerating, because while the love of one's mother may be unique and irreplaceable, you are undoubtedly loved and cared about by other people if you're not a hermit. If you are then you'll need to get out there and let other people into your life. But it's far more likely that you already have multiple people that care about you and love you. 12 years is too long to get stuck in grief; sometimes you have to force yourself to move forward and find other people to bring you joy again. It doesn't take anything away from the special relationship you had with her, but life is to be lived, not spent missing all those who pass. After all, we could spend all our time sad; life is 100% terminal, and getting stuck in grief means refusing to accept the basic facts; everyone and everything is slipping away, and the only thing we can change is whether to enjoy the ride or spend the precious life you still have, regretting the fact that it's over too quickly. I think the best therapy for grieving people is to find other people in far worse shape than yourself and help them; sometimes you just need to be reminded of the fact that there is always a need for a person who is kind and wants to alleviate suffering. Other than that, I suggest looking into the incredible things being done with therapeutic micro-dosing of psilocybin mushrooms.
If Carla Bley never wrote another song, this would be enough to remember her as one of the greats in contemporary music. But she does and has done so, so very much more. Nevertheless, this is about this song. Simple and complex. The notes and chords are spare yet lush, sophisticated yet accessible. The tempo, haunting yet uplifting. Steve Swallow's bass lines are so perfect throughout and his solo is so touching and his technique is so impressive. I don't know if this song makes me smile or cry. I want to play it at every meaningful event, behind every meaningful media project. We ate breakfast in the same room as Carla and Steve years ago in a Maine hotel one morning. I was so nervous. I never said hello or what a fan I was. But what a smile to be there and soak up the same space. This performance is really nice and matches the beauty of the album cut, even with only two instruments. It's a joy to watch Carla play and Steve, too.
This, in my view, is one of those pieces that was 'discovered' by the writer, rather than composed. The chord sequence dictates the melody, dictates the chord sequence. To the listener, it feels like the piece has always existed, such is its familiarity & perfection.
Rest in Peace dearest Carla beside the still waters and the river of Life Everlasting! Thanks so much for allowing us to hear this lovely song from your heart of love
I found out on Instagram that you had passed away and searched for this performance on CZcams, and it was a really beautiful and gentle performance. The expression on your partner's Steve Swallow playing is amazing. A conversation between just two over music. Rest In Peace. Thank you.
What can I say. Sitting her with a pint of beer and a Jim Beam and listening to this beautiful piece. Such wonderful music from such wonderful talented people
I remember when I first heard this song. Then, I suffered from breaking up with my lover. I cried a lot listening to this song. It still brings me to the time, though now I'm absolutely fine.
R.I.P. dearest Carla... You have been such a wonderful musician who has touched us with your beautiful themes full of inventiveness, sensitivity and emotion 😞
I'm somewhat ashamed to admit that at the age of 48 I've only tangentially heard of Carla Bley and tonight was the first time I've ever heard this tune. My God, this might be the most beautiful piece of music I've ever heard. Simply gorgeous.
An interesting life. She played piano as a kid but not much formal training. Went to NYC and learned about jazz from her heroes in the clubs working as a cigarette girl. Later married Eric Bley, the avant-garde pianist and got married. Met Steve Swallow much later on but they have been together for a long time. The story I heard about the name of this tune was when she was in New Orleans and trying to get in touch with one of her fellow performers. When she called and asked for "Lawrence", his mother answered "oh you mean Lawns". I'm not sure if its true of course, but I believe it.
I saw yesterday that Charles Lloyd had posted this on his Facebook feed. Listening to it over and over as I grieve the loss of my partner, Duke Pearson. It has given flow to my tears.
I have a hard time catching my breath when listening to this tune. Unbelievable what a properly placed collection of notes and fiery passion can do to to the human spirit.
This is what real music is i hate to sound cliche but real artists arent about appearing in magazines and reality tv shows. They dont care about their appearance as much but dont have to because its that that makes them appealing. Their music is art, their music makes them look beautiful too. They arent facing the crowd looking to be accepted. This says,we dont need your approval, let us enjoy playing our music and you enjoy it too. If i saw this live my jaw would be on the floor and id be wiping the tears from my eyes.
I just play this over and over and at night it's the last thing I hear before sleep-----there is just something about it which is beyond words which transcends this world and makes everything, especially now in the pandemic,seem more bearable and hopeful-------a light at the end of the tunnel
Фантастическая гармония, проникающая в самые глубины души! Сколько скрытой страсти в этой мелодии! Так свои чувства может выражать только человек, искренне любящий и утонувший в море любви.
I've been loving Carla's music for over 20 yrs. and looking for this video, one of my favorite songs. One of my dreams is to see her in concert! Thanks for posting it.
Love to you all. Swallow and I met in high school and to Yale afterwards. Wanna know how far back this friendship goes. No, well you and your momma should have some breakfast. We met in 1959, We listened endlessly to all kinds of music. We used to hitchhike down to NYC. And we've stayed in touch all these years. I know where this music comes from in him and later when he met and married My Lady of Carla. SO IT GIVES ME SUCH PLEASURE, JOY ACTUALLY, that those of you who are moved by it It are SO moved by it. Because it's a REAL PLACE, companero/as What you're feeling , hearing, is close to the HEART OF IT ALL. And having the same relationship to the music as whoever of you have and/or do ... plus a friendship of let's see how many years? Ok. 54??!!! ... I feel a profound bond with you. And the same place in you that loves this piece .. understands exactly what I'm saying, yes? So great love and blessings to you all. P
Try finding the joy in life JacksonPolyp and allow others their say. Stay positive....You know you can do it! Paul, carry on with your glorious friendship.
This sound like when the Lord told the sea to "peace be still" Humanity is liked unto the sea. This is so beautifully inspiring me. This is beauty thought the storms of raging seas. It can all merge in a beautiful composition.
This is an AMAZING performance. So real. Great piece. I have been a huge fan of Carla and her amazing span of music. She's a great inspiration. I also love how she has so wonderfully set Steve up with so many wonderful worlds to play in. What a great couple. These are two of my musical heroes. Thanks for posting. Long live music that is free, explorative, and soulful.
The miracle of love trough music. Carla and Steve playing "Lawns" to eternity. I'm sorry, too many words for such a musical miracle. Greetings from the portuguese north atlantic shore.
This is Lawns. Bootzy just introduced the second part of the performance...Healing power. He failed to tell the audience Carla’s intro. Just a slip up. But it was a smashing combo performance on David Sandborns late night music.
It holds such beauty and tenderness in its softness and simplicity. Gorgeous. The passion between them touches me deeply. A masterpiece in many ways. ❤️🎼🎶🎶🎹🎹
I had heard this song on John Scofield's "A Moments Peace" CD, and thought it was beautiful. One of my favourites on the album. Had no idea that Carla Bley wrote this wonderful song. And what an incredible version. So beautiful!

It's hard to listen to this and not shed a tear today. RIP Carla! You were fabulous and a national treasure.
International treasure...
The Treasure, regardless
Oh and now she`s travelled on, she gave us Lawns to keep her memory alive forever, thank you Carla Bley💖
well said. R.I.P., Carla Bley.

I am so sorry for your loss, Al.
That this song reminds you of her speaks to how beautiful she was. May your tears lead to your heart. I understand. Truly I understand.

So sad we just lost her. 😢

wonderful thought ❤
Could be...Well said.
Exactly right. The perfection of inevitability.
Yes!
I'm not normally a very emotional kind of guy, but I think my heart is about to explode... That was transcendent...
Lawns. この曲は私にとってかけがえのない名曲です。
切なさで息することさえ苦しくなると同時に、他で得ることのできない安らぎを感じさせてくれる、唯一無二の癒しの曲でもあります。
偉大なピアニスト、コンポーザー、アレンジャーであるカーラ・ブレイ、やすらかに❤
R.I.P Carla...😥
This is impossibly beautiful. God's in the house.
Now(after reading your comment) I'm crying.
RIP. A true original. A treasure.
Rest in peace Carla Bley.

Rip Amazing woman. L'm very very sad
So glad I got to see her do this piece live., R.I.P. Carla Bley 💕
What can I say. Sitting her with a pint of beer and a Jim Beam and listening to this beautiful piece. Such wonderful music from such wonderful talented people
Rest in Peace, Carla. You are one of my unsung heroes.
I will miss Carla and love her music for the rest of my life... She was one of the greatest composers, full stop!
RIP……❤
Rest in peace Carla Bley...

Why does music do that :(
RIP Carla. 💙To Steve, Karen and all her fam, we are with you.
R.I.P. dearest Carla... You have been such a wonderful musician who has touched us with your beautiful themes full of inventiveness, sensitivity and emotion 😞
Lovely and full of longing. She lived the music.
I cut lawns all summer for extra $$s and this is how I feel when they are all done. Beautiful, pristine, and perfect.
Thank you for the music Carla Bley. R.I.P. ☁️🤍🌹⭐️🌌
RIP Carla Bley, thank you for everything..😢
The beautiful detail of the syncopated chord each bar, and the harmonies!!! So much attention and tension 🫶🏼🫶🏼
RIP Carla Bley.
10년 넘게 일년에 한번씩은 꼭 찾아 들어야 하는 곡 😍 몬도그로소 1974 웨이홈과 더불어서
Rest In Peace Carla Bley 1936 - 2023. You will be missed
She's TALKING to him- he's watching her talk to him, answering with pure joy.
The most beautiful film i have ever seen
Honey, they're playing our song again. Yes, we are in it, while eternity lasts.
25년째 듣는음악..
아직도 감동이...
I'm somewhat ashamed to admit that at the age of 48 I've only tangentially heard of Carla Bley and tonight was the first time I've ever heard this tune. My God, this might be the most beautiful piece of music I've ever heard. Simply gorgeous.
Imagine being 67 and feeling this way.
come on. How can it be even compared to Mozart, Mahler, Bach, Vivaldi or Bruckner?

@@krzem3532your choices. Not everyone will agree.
I'm floored this evening, listening to this! We all need beauty in a world not of our making. This is that beauty.
Rest In Power, Thank you for the music
RIP Carla. Thank you so much for the joy laughter and tears.
forever grateful to have known your music from when I was about 12 years. RIP wonderful Carla
This moves me. What perfection and grace. RIP Carla
I came across this by accident and I'm crying
I know what you mean.. It made me feel like crap, as well.
Me too, one year later...
Happiness tears...
I thought there was something wrong with me...
nope
just the profound beauty of passionate artistry at a high level.
They are husband and wife also
what words can't describe, music can.
I saw yesterday that Charles Lloyd had posted this on his Facebook feed. Listening to it over and over as I grieve the loss of my partner, Duke Pearson. It has given flow to my tears.
Sorry about your loss. Duke Pearson was a genius so was Carla. Un abrazo.
The most beautiful video i've ever seen........I want to live like them. I hope i could someday play music with my husband in peace.
You still married baby?
@@Unknown-uq2nc xD
I have a hard time catching my breath when listening to this tune. Unbelievable what a properly placed collection of notes and fiery passion can do to to the human spirit.
This is so intensely beautiful.
Katie B- Isn't it ? BREATHTAKING ESSENCE OF BEAUTY
The arts are so precious because our grandchildren (and theirs) can enjoy this every bit as much as we do now.
science makes life possible; art makes life worthwhile.
well, I think you get it right ... yes! they are "making" LOVE ... the most wonderful form of love ... ♥
Such feeling and emotion in their playing. They squeeze a symphony out of but a few notes.
John Scofield does this piece with great love and beauty.

So true :')
I do the same with a tune by Michel Columbier called Bird Song featuring Michael Brecker and Jaco . Aural beauty !
Фантастическая гармония, проникающая в самые глубины души! Сколько скрытой страсти в этой мелодии! Так свои чувства может выражать только человек, искренне любящий и утонувший в море любви.
평온함.. 온전한 평온함을 느낌.. 내 인생의 top3 곡..
나머지 2개는 뭐에요?
진짜 좋네요
맞아 나머지 두개는 뭐에요?
두개 궁금해요
나머지 두 곡이 있는..
유튜브 어딘가에서..
또 마주치길..^^
This music always makes me peaceful, Thank you, Carla Bley...
Soon as they hit those onions started getting sliced up everywhere. Man I can’t even see❤️🎖
この曲は、とてもシンプルなんだけど、一音一音に数え切れないほどの想いが詰まっていて、本当に素晴らしい！
それ以上の言葉は、今のところ思いつかない！！

Very cool, Paul. I've been listening to Carla since Fictitious Sports. Fleur Carnivore is one of my favorite albums of all time.
This sound like when the Lord told the sea to "peace be still"
Humanity is liked unto the sea.
This is so beautifully inspiring me.
This is beauty thought the storms of raging seas.
It can all merge in a beautiful composition.
Ive never had a song make me cry out of nowhere like this. Wow..
this sublime piece, reveals in a way so tender love that binds a woman to a man, as a revival reminds us that life has passed ....
This is why I listen to music. It doesn't get much better.
I heard this song for the first time in 1987. never stopped thinking about this or listening to this song!
Me too. On Carla's album "Sextet", sublime.
이 시대에 태어나 Carla와 Steve의 음악을 들을 수 있다는 것이 정말 감동적입니다.
One of the most beautiful things I have ever heard-just beautiful!
Descanse em paz, que música, acho que é a música da minha vida. Só os anjos entendem❤que toque para eles esta música..
This is so beautiful.. you can feel the love
This is an AMAZING performance. So real. Great piece. I have been a huge fan of Carla and her amazing span of music. She's a great inspiration. I also love how she has so wonderfully set Steve up with so many wonderful worlds to play in.
What a great couple.

Long live music that is free, explorative, and soulful.
Sublime and hauntingly beautiful...a lot of love between these two!

The miracle of love trough music. Carla and Steve playing "Lawns" to eternity.
I'm sorry, too many words for such a musical miracle.
Greetings from the portuguese north atlantic shore.
I've felt similiar sounds in my heart back in the day...
what a great woman, she is beautiful
She just keeps pulling the maximum emotion out of all the amazing tonality she creates. Love you.
why am i cry. just, perfect, pure beauty....
Yes, that is right. Purest beauty and love. Thank you.
Hey, "relax"!
Carla's prettiest tune, played by two in love.
I first heard this song on David Sanborn show. It was called: "Healing Power" Love this song.
This is Lawns. Bootzy just introduced the second part of the performance...Healing power. He failed to tell the audience Carla’s intro. Just a slip up. But it was a smashing combo performance on David Sandborns late night music.
The former sign-off tune for WAER-FM 88 in Syracuse in the late 80s and early 90s, back when I was just a baby broadcaster. :-)
음악만 들어도 넓게펼처진 풀밭 그리고 조명들 가족들 과거 현재 미래 기쁨 슬픔 외로움 희망 노곤함 다느껴짐
너무 공감되네요
Now Harris - I am shedding tear!!!!!!!
It holds such beauty and tenderness in its softness and simplicity. Gorgeous. The passion between them touches me deeply. A masterpiece in many ways. ❤️🎼🎶🎶🎹🎹
How much love & intelligence was inside this person...
This is just like the most beautiful dream I ever had.
Very emotional! Cheers from Sweden and many thanks!
They share the love for music
I had heard this song on John Scofield's "A Moments Peace" CD, and thought it was beautiful. One of my favourites on the album. Had no idea that Carla Bley wrote this wonderful song. And what an incredible version. So beautiful!
This is such an awesome composition!
Pure beauty... that makes me cry and be hopeful at the same time. RIP Carla Bley!
This is just a wonderful piece of music! Carla is such a great composer and I listen to this tune and many others from her pen over and over again.
Widzialem ten duet 30+ lat temu w Edmonton. Oni porozumiewali sie wzrokiem i grali jakby robili to od 602 lat. Cudo!...
Thank you for this beautiful piece....LOVE from OZ
