Fire Turns to Coals (my version)

[Bflatblues55]

I'm fast becoming a huge fan of this southern-folksy style ... I think that's remarkable coming from a disco-dancin (80s) Motown singing (late 60s) and burnin blues (always) feelin' northerner.

You vocally sweep me off my feet, Ms Nancy!

[Ivoryticklermama]

That is very beautiful, Nancy. Everything about it. 5*****

[nllleonard]

You are very welcome! THank you for listening! ~NAncy

[cbrb40]

You have a unique way with a song Nancy. It's very simple sounding musically but the lyrics are very beautiful and deep and poetic. So cool!! I loved it!! You have an old world sound like this should be the middle centuries. lol I mean it in a good way! :) Renaissance era.

Love the pics too. Such a beautiful video! I'd like to hear Rudy's version cause he's awesome too like you!! :)

[nllleonard]

Thank you RIck! I appreciate such a thouightful comment! I guess it's the dulcimer that sounds old. Also, my lyrics are more traditional than modern. You seem to gravitate to an earlier time as well! ;) THanks for coming by! ~NAncy

[cbrb40]

YW sweet Nancy! Yeah the dulcimer does give it that old time sound. :) I do love the past when it comes to music and art. Looks like we're belong in another century. lol ;)

[iseehaters]

~NAncy

[Johnfern99]

I love both versions, but I think I prefer this one just because the simplicity of the music captures the true song. And the pictures that accompany it are as beautiful as the song itself.

[nllleonard]

Well thank you, John! I'm very glad you like my version! Rudy surely adds a lot to my simple songs, and I appreciate every one of our collabs very much! This is the bare bones original I sent him. Thanks for your wonderful comment!

Rudy's version is great but it's also very nice to hear the original from the wizard of words herself. :) wonderful stuff Nancy!

[nllleonard]

Thanks Rob! So glad you enjoyed it! ;) ~NAncy

[jimmymac30]

Nancy, right now you display more honesty and warmth in your music than 90% of the artists on YT. Don't sell yourself and your amazing talent short. You are one of the most interesting artists posting videos on YT today. You are the embodiment of a new genre, I'm gonna label it "folkart music." It's a combination of old-time music, story telling, the oral tradition in simple elegance, coupled with beautiful common images. Oh now I'm just gushing incoherently ... see what you do to me?!

[nllleonard]

Such a generous comment, Jimmy! I truly appreciate your encouragement, friend. There are many gifted artists here,

and I don't pretend to be in that group, but I am very glad that you do like my songs!

Thank you so much for saying so! ;)

~NAncy

[gerdenshed]

I'm with you on this one Jimmy. Nancy is just so talented. 5*s from me ;-)

Mark....

[nllleonard]

THanks Mark!

[MonkeylessJohn]

I forgot to mention that I enjoyed the change when you got to the "time and Water " part. That was very nice

[nllleonard]

I'm still learning...not quite right there, but I am trying! ;) Thanks John!!! ~NAncy

[MonkeylessJohn]

Very very beautiful NAncy!!

I love listening to you sing and play.

Thanks for posting this my friend:))

[nllleonard]

Thank you so much, John! My singing and playing are not so great, but you are a good friend! ;) Rudy was kind enough to make a beautiful song using these lyrics. I recorded this when I wrote the song, and I just thought I would post it.

Thank you!!! ~NAncy
