Secure Yourself - Indigo Girls

[bennavids]

Thank you for the voice of Amy Ray.

[drobles394]

<3 love love loveeeeeeeeeeeeeee this song!! <3

[GothicRavenGoddess]

me and mom would sing to this song, on road trips. we were damn good at it! I love the Indigo Girls!

[bennavids]

lower voice is amazing!

[NatureGirl62]

They sing and play as if they were siblings joined by DNA. Fortunately, our sweet yellow lab, Daisy, had the chance to hop on stage with them at a small private concert in a grassy coastal setting of the Bay Area in 2007 before she left us due to cancer this year. Cheers, Daisy - you had a great night on stage with the truly awesome Amy and Emily.

[pulpstress]

God DAMN. Those harmonies! Gives me chills. EVERY TIME. Every time.

[McKenton1230]

I, too, have requested this to be the song at my memorial someday. . . I wrote a college essay about my grandfather's death using this song many, many years ago. I cry good tears almost every time. I love the IG.

[777TIFFANYFEM777]

One more thing Ann, if you're out there, I STILL don't sing in front of just anyone (they'd thank me if they knew ;o)), so it was a reeeeal big deal we sang this & "Listen to Our Hearts" together. Thank you for EVERYTHING, lady. Hope you get this message somehow.

[777TIFFANYFEM777]

I love Indigo Girls F-O-R-E-V-E-R...and Ann A. from Mt Hermon, wherever you are today, "Secure Yourself to Heaven" - with fond memories forever. <3 :-)

[hiddenfall]

@777TIFFANYFEM777 Awww :).

[sucraman2]

These girls ALWAYS bring it!! Love the Indigo Girls!!

[krazieddagger]

This song is all kinds of powerful and fills me with memories of years ago when someone was in my life who isn't now. I'll always love this song.

[MaitreyAgape]

Only song I've ever requested for my memorial. How cool is that? Ur dead and the Girls sing u over the threshold!

Peace All

[cooperadan]

@MaitreyAgape The Indigo Girls were one of my Mom´s favorite groups (mine too), and when she passed away a few years ago, we included some of their songs in her memorial service/visitation. It was a such a nice tribute.

[bman342]

Love this song.

[AUS10TEX]

Radio Free Tuscaloosa '90. I drove up to my dorm (PALMER) and the fucking INDIGO GIRLS are playing next to stock tank.

[logbuilder45]

Harmony that will haunt you deep into the night...

[chqm8]

Dayummmm they are AWESOME!!!!

[aerothyme]

Very intimate performance. I like it.

[cfoley619]

I wish Melissa Etheridge would sing this with Crystal Bowersox on the AI finale.

Bring some good music to that show for once.

[melissalovesamy]

Amazing. Incredible. Watching this is so sensual. Rock on IGs!!

[antopia91]

What an awesome God given gift! My favorite folk duo of all time! Brilliant song writing skills, guitar playing and vocals. I often think of Amy and Emily when I write harmony and try my best to do the song 1/2 the justice that they do. Thanks for sharing!

[weirdowaldo]

OMG!! Look how young they look.

[CatNaptz]

LOVE this ! Thanks Amy and Emily.. your music stands the test of time... Classic

[beatlegretsch]

AMAZING!

[BBTOkuMa]

i think i used to own this on vhs. indigo girls"live at the uptown lodge" google it and but it before it gone. its outstanding for being in a small bar

[jgadan]

Does anyone know where the version of 'Kid Fears' at this venue went?? It is one of the rare few with Michael Stipe doing bacup on it? Any help=much thanks

[lunarluka64]

Yeah! I would like to know what happened to the Kid Fears with Michael Stipe video too.. ?

[slmcK3]

love this song it still applies to my life

[utpunkster]

I bet Amy would say ' that Jon Bon Jovi plays a hell of a guitar' and he would say the say the same thing about Amy. They both love to play music and it shows in how well they do it.

[meredithscott76]

Jon Bon Jovi? Who cares? Amy would get props from Joe Perry, though.

[NatureGirl62]

meredithscott76 and others: Bon Jovi was just a reference I made at random. It was a reference to something that would have been popular on YouTube, vis a vis the Indigo Girls. It wasn't about Bon Jovi in particular; it could have been any popular male 80s band. I merely chose Bon Jovi as an example.

[TheAnneelise]

yeah! :)

[armeeuff1]

Intelligence. I think "intelligence" is the word you seek NatureGirl62. IMHO,Indigo girls sing from the very heart and soul of human miscalculations. Tho I love some Bon Jovi stuff, it's their...cocks..singing.Or swinging I guess I should say. It's what the younger, then younger kids, will buy. Slick packaged adolescent sexuality. Something the bands can pull past their parents and censors. Just thank god it's not "Swingtogo Girls".

[frugbaby]

One of the best Indigo Girls songs. Thank you for posting.

[AthensAnna]

oh my goodness, what a blessing their music was to me back in my heartbreak days!! Love them. Don't agree with them 100% politically/socially but that's ok. That's diversity, no? Thank you Emily and Amy!!

[utpunkster]

12 o'clock curfew is a fantastic colletion. But I'm sure all Indigo fans already know that

[utpunkster]

drzlecuti - you are right about that - Amy or Emily have more talent in any one instant than Alizee could muster in a lifetime

[drzlecuti]

Naturegirl, if you want to be depressed about view counts even more, check out the meter for a song called "J'en ai marre" by a young French singer named Alizee...one version has over 10.5 million hits. I don't think it's based on musical talent.

[pinthed]

love this song. i used to listen to it while i cleaned by guinea pig's cage. i stopped listening to the indigo girls when she died but i started again and this song always reminds me of my guinea pig. it may sound silly, but i cry when i listen to this song because of memories of my guinea pig.

[AmandaSparks75]

I have a BA in lit, which makes me an amateur poetry critic *grin sheepishly* and I don't believe two men _would_ have written this song. The closest I have seen was Billy Pilgrim, and guess what, Kristian Bush is now mega famous because he teamed up with Kristen Hall and Jennifer Nettles, two more players who came from the woman-centered music scene in Decatur. There would be no Kristen Hall w/o the IG (they got her over her fear of being on stage) and without that there would be no Sugarland.

[NatureGirl62]

Please bear with me - I'm not a feminist, but I know what I'm seeing and hearing - and if Emily and Amy were a couple of guys, this would have received far more than 12,415 views.

[m7lists]

Naturegirl, maybe they weren't popular, maybe they had bad record deals, maybe they fought success, maybe a hundred other reasons why nature didn't have a lot of 12415 views for them. Not everything on earth is a conspiracy.

[NatureGirl62]

m7lists: I said "please bear with me" - and you didn't. It wasn't a feminist statement. I just notice a huge contrast in the number of views of this versus, say, Bon Jovi "Wanted: Dead or Alive". It's all about marketing and images, and what America views as "sexy".

[dolcepeter]

best live shows i have ever been to. you girls rock and stand for something, many things. keep it up.

[diamondferret]

i have been following the indigo girls for almost 14 yrs now and by the far the most amazing vocals and words ive ever heard! id kill to see if someone would put up you left it up to me???

[Rob7318]

This duo is incredible and I appreciate their artistry and committment to quality music.

Everything they produce is gold!

Keep it up Amy and Emily!

[jonboy002]

That was amazing!

[FeastFamine]

cool i'm like 5000

[magpie007700]

its amazing how great they sound live... i mean look at all todays pop princesses... they all suck live... but the indigo girls always rock!!

[bridgetownbadboy]

i love them my aunt knows them so growing up i listened to the first album everyday coming home from school i used to write them letter and draw them pics lol i love these chicks there awesome!!!

[Aislan4414]

what a sweet story 8)

[screwyootube]

So hard to believe it's been nearly 20 years since the debut album! The Indigo Girls changed my life! Such a shame they never broke out into the mainstream. Also such a shame people who don't "get" their music make rude jokes, because they are lesbians. Who cares? This is some of the most beautiful, adventurous, and creative music of the last 50 years! Indigo Girls forever!

[Mattom007]

Someone should post Blood & Fire. These chicks are outstanding.

[thegaythespian]

Please, that was my first favorite of theirs. I heard the debut album growing up

[Trestin13]

My father owned a bar in Atlanta, and he told me how he used to give them a pay check to play there. It must have been before they got big. I like them a lot, both my parents played their songs while I grew up.

[Wingnut5814]

I saw these ladies at Cobo in Detroit open for REM. Michael Stipe came out and sang with them. That was the greatest night in Detroit I have ever had without seeing my Red Wings play...and better than most of those nights! These girls are sooooo under rated! Mike, come and see us "Motor Children" again!!! And bring these ladies!

[cshell010891]

AWESOME SONG!!!!!!!!! <3

[DanaKempton]

This song got my through when my best friend Rob Kinsey was killed by a drunk driver on November 15,1992. God rest his soul, this was played at the funeral.

[tooprettytowork]

I saw them b4 they were famous at my college..they were amazing.

[LosPigg]

indigos amaze me. the 1st 4 albums are untouchable.

[sjaeckh]

I really like this song and the harmonizing.
