We are about the same age. Give or take a few months. MCC is Feb. 1958/ I'm Sept. 1958. Everything she sings about is like a page taken from my life! She always says/ sings what is in my heart- Are you reading my journal?!!
Dear Mary. Something has deepened in your songs. Perhaps a wound transformed? Or the hand of death touched your back and said "To the real work now"? A wisdom, a glowing prime. As though you were the river before, following yourself, and now? Here comes the sea...
I am in love with this song and I have been in love with this woman for 20+ years. She is the writer of absolutely the best music in that time, bar none. If I could meet her for 10 minutes, I would need to gather myself for the first 5, then MAYBE I could have a marginally intelligent conversation with her for the second 5.
What should one say about such a beuatiful song.
It speaks for itself.
Thank you!

I love both this song and the novel

@phuongan1012 I'm reading that book right now and it's really good. This song is a perfect backdrop while I read Hadley's story.
