[nllleonard]

@reliablebow Thanks Michael. 

[blinddrunkal]

Such a beautiful song and performance, I had to come back for another "fix" - didn't I already comment? Can't remember........all the best :o) Alan

[nllleonard]

Just found your comment! Thank you, Alan! Sorry so late replying....half the time, comments don't show up in the "comments" part of my email! Do you have the same troulble? Anyway, thanks so much for the kind words, friend!

~NAncy

[melelina1260]

Nancy, this is your Jesse fan from sunny CA - this song is beautiful. I lost my dog recently and this made me cry because it is so close to how I feel - even though he was "just a dog". Your lyrics touch all forms of life. . .

[nllleonard]

HEllo friend! ;) Very glad you liked my song. And no dog is "just a dog" . I've had dogs that were my very best friends! I am so sorry about your buddy....truly sorry.  Thank you so much for letting me know my song touched your heart. That means a lot to me.

DId you get to see Jesse on tour? Have you found his recent vids on YT?

So good to hear from you! ;)

~NAncy

[melelina1260]

Jesse is touring CA the first week of August.  I would like to see him but have no one to go with, and it's a 4 - 5 hr drive wherever he'll be. Also a $150 night motel bill, but I'm trying. . . Love the new videos on YT - just makes me want to see him even more! Thanks about Speedy - he was my best friend for 11 years.

[nllleonard]

Oh friend, if you are able to do it safely, I would strongly recommend that you go. I drove four hours each way by myself, and it was well worth it. I wish I could go with you! I surely would! He is honestly better than ever!

Godspeed, Speedy. xo ~NAncy

[cjthemusicman]

...I came for another listen too, Nancy.

I hope you are doing just fine, and are having a happy Summer, my friend.

[mordentimes54]

If you lived here, a dream about snow

in the summer is called a nightmare.

I love the song, your beautiful voice.

Thank you for sharing it.

That's a nice calming song. I really liked it!! Great lyrics Nancy and nice singing too. I like it simple like this. You sure can write a good tune! It sounds like a love song that could be in a movie.

Loved the message and song! :))

[nllleonard]

Thank you so much, Tiffany!

[cjthemusicman]

This is beyond beautiful, Nancy! What a poetess you are! I hope it wasn't too difficult for you to write and sing this haunting tune for our enjoyment. I hope all your dreams come true, and they are not a few, but always new. ~Cj~ xoxo

[nllleonard]

You are very kind, dear CJ. THank you so much for that, and for your lovely comment. It is a always wonderful to hear from you! ;)

[jimmymac30]

[nllleonard]

Thanks so much, Jimmy! Just went to check for new vids at your place, and you're having all kinds of fun over there! ;)

For some reason, your new ones do not show up in my subs, so I apologize I don't get there very quickly, but I do love your work! You are a perfect daisy face, btw! ;)

THanks for your very kind words!

~NAncy

[MonkeylessJohn]

Hi NAncy!!! Your lyrics always make me think. Always! And there is something so melancholy about this one. I get the feeling that the "you" in this doesn't really love back honestly , cause if he did, he would want you to fly, wouldn't he? It sounds as thought it is what you are born to do??

This is very very beautiful NAncy:))

[nllleonard]

Hi John! I'm so glad to see you! I really appreciate you paying such close attention to my lyrics, and your very kind words! I am so lucky to have you as a friend! ~NAncy

[Tsutsomu]

So beautiful !

Great work Nancy!

Friendly :

[nllleonard]

THank you so much Steph!!! Say hello to Paris for me! ;) I miss her....

~NAncy

[manriq47]

NAncy, I don't know how I missed this posting of yours! Simply beautiful. I can easily see you sitting on the porch in the movie Songcatcher strumming your dulcimer and singing it for that thar city gal to snatch out of the air. All the best. - Mark

[nllleonard]

Very glad you found it, Mark! And especially glad you enjoyed it! ;) Oh, I really love that movie! Especially the Iris Dement part. ANd my daughter is an ethnomusicoligist....just like the main character! Thanks for your wonderful comment! ~NAncy

[losthills]

You're a fine, fine poet Nancy.

[mysticcynic]

"I'm trying to find some remarkable rhyme,

That will transform this black into blue."

"If I found the right words and music,

You'd be here beside me today."

What great lines! Sad, but beautiful.

[nllleonard]

Hi Josef! I'm glad you liked the lyrics. ;) THank you so much for saying so! Your encouragement really means a lot!

~NAncy

[Cliffbrock]

This is one of the most beautiful things that has ever been you youtube Nancy ! 5 stars --:)Rod

[imafishgod]

Oh MY ~NAncy..this literally has me in tears. You keep all our dreams alive with your beauty...inside & out!! I love ya my Starry night Gazer!!! ***** & FAVED so i can come back to this lovely , lovely piece !! ♥ Paula xo

[nllleonard]

Thanks so much, dear Paula!!! The audio is really bad in this one. Maybe one day I'll figure out how to record so that it sounds better, meanwhile, I really am glad you liked it! ;) You are a wonderful friend!!!! ~NAncy

[streetspiritlive]

...all i can say is that i'm so glad you didn't

pay attention to the teacher as wanted...

n gazed out the window instead.... ;))

*****

[nllleonard]

...and then there was the time I got sent home after the myriad of tiny treefrogs escaped from my pockets and started hopping all over the classroom. ;) I had to write one-hundred times, "I will not bring frogs into the classroom." ;)

Thanks again M. My poor teachers...

[Ottawarocket]

I love this Nancy, what a beautiful song..Very heartfelt my friend...But Hey never stop Dreaming : ) *****

Rob

[nllleonard]

THank you Rob! I'm so glad to hear from you. I worry when you are away!!! ;) Yeah...I think I'm hopeless...probably couldn't stop no matter how hard I tried. Dreaming, I mean. First time I got in trouble at school was for gazing out the window instead of "paying attention". ;) Very good to hear from you, my friend!!!

~NAncy

[Bflatblues55]

How beautiful. So happy Michael has you featured on his channel!

I love your artwork ... at 2:34-2:37ish ... I especially fancied this because I would like very much to lay in bed and think of tallships in the distance with nutty birds flying about. It would be nice to have some element of control over our dreams.

Your voice and song are just GREAT!

[nllleonard]

THank you so much Carol!! I'm happy you liked this! ANd I really appreciate Michael featuring me...even though I just accidentally deleted his very kind comment!!! ;( All thumbs!!! Just was peeking at your channel again and we share lots of favorites... Alvin Lee and The Allman Brothers, most notably.

ANd we are the same age. ;)

THanks again for the kind words!

~NAncy

[nllleonard]

Hi Sarah! THank you for coming! I'm eager for a new song from you!!! Lovely to hear from you! ;) xo ~NAncy

[About2Rain]

This beautiful song sure rings true for me.

I reach out for the hands of those who have now taken on a different form. Somehow I still know they are here even though I can't touch them I can still feel their presence. So lovely to hear you singing this one Nancy~

[nllleonard]

Donna!!! ;) I'm so glad you liked this! I know just what you mean, friend. My Dad's been "gone" for seventeen years, but I always feel like he's with me.

xo ~NAncy

[frozenwhitebear]

...and my favourite line is: "And I wonder how I got to this place..." :) i feel that in a key position... and, aww - so beautiful visuals!!! the melody remains me of old haunting folksy tunes.... ;o)

[nllleonard]

Hi Andreas! THank you for your lovely comment, friend! I am waiting for things to calm down here so I can get serious about our project! ;) Thanks for your patience! ~NAncy

[streetspiritlive]

...i have this bird singin in my backyard...

: )))

[nllleonard]

Well hello!!! I just this minute finished a note to you! Thanks so much for such kind words, friend. I'm always glad to see you! Your encouraging words are so very welcome! Sure appreciate that!!!

~NAncy

[reliablebow]

"I'm tring to find some remarkable rhyme, that will transform this black into blue..." Like that line very much!

Very beautiful...I'll be listening more

my feet

are lifting

light

:)

[nllleonard]

I know you must be busy! THank you very much for coming by and leaving such lovely words, Michael!

~NAncy

[suuzzee5]

Worked like a charm....got this viddy as a new upload! :)) And wow, Nancy....this is so beautiful. Sad and beautiful.... the feelings in this song....so very familiar. Thanks for adding to the beauty of the world! Suze *****

[nllleonard]

Yay! I'm glad it was an easy fix, Suze! Sure appreciate you coming by to listen!

Glad it rang true for you! Still got that cat for you! ;)

~NAncy

[adteeter]

Nice job. Simple, rustic, perfect for the lyrics.

[nllleonard]

I'm very glad you liked it!

~NAncy

[marcie99]

oh Nancy! this is so beautiful! Mark sent this to me and i knew i was gonna love it when i read the lyrics! i couldnt wait to hear it, in fact its the first song i chose to listen to upon my log in for first time in days! beautifullllllllllllllllllllll­lllllllll! missed u!

[marcie99]

and thank you for reminding me of a poem i wrote... prob one of the only ones i wrote that maybe could make a song.. that when i orginally wrote it, i heard it as a song...."how do you" ... i will have to venture into it finally now that i am braver, i had forgotten about it, but two of ur lines reminded me of it so much! goes to show once again.. great minds do think alike! for i so feel ur heart in this so much! & can so relate!

[marcie99]

and i forgot to say i reallllllllly love this! i love the way this made me feel inside! you do so have a gift Nancy! and i am so happy that u get a lil braver all the time and ur true colors show a lil more each and everytime... seems we all teach each other to grow here and let our inner feelings out that at first we were so afriad to let out!-and they are what makes u a true artist for sure!

[nllleonard]

THank you three times...for three very nice comments, Kat! It makes me happy that you like this! ANd I missed you too!

~NAncy

[nllleonard]

P.S. Must have been too tired when I found this comment last night! I really, truly appreciate everything you said, Kat!!! THank you so much for that!!! Yes, you must get your song finished and sing it for us!!! I am very much looking forward to hearing it! ;) THank you again!!!

~NAncy

[marcoacca]

A splendid song, Nancy. Thank you. Ciao, Marco

[nllleonard]

You are very welcome, my good friend! ;)

Thank you! ~NAncy

[coolanddark]

This is a true masterpiece Nancy! A remarkable song and video! Is that you playing the instrument!? As a side note. The only way to get over a loved one leaving for whatever reason is to conciously push them out of your mind at first thought. Easier said then done. I guess time is really the only thing that heals all. This is truly brilliant Nancy!!!

[nllleonard]

Hi DAn! ;) I so appreciate those kind words from you! Yes, that is me...thumping and plunking on my litte dulcimer! ;) And my songs are rarely completely autobiographical, but there is always some of me there. ;) Good advice, my friend. THanks!

~NAncy

[NikonPhoto07]

Another magical and wonderful song from you Nancy. *****

[nllleonard]

Thank you for listening and leaving such a nice comment, Mark! ;)

There you are, Rudy! ;) You knew I was waiting for your comment! Your opinion is always very important to me, my very talented friend. Thank you so much for all of your encouragement and help. You know I appreciate everything you do!

Hug back!

~NAncy

[rudyvandam]

Hey Nancy,

ev'ryone already knew about your writing skills.

The way you write things combined with the sweetness of your voice shows we're dealing with a genuine Southern gem!

Keep 'm coming, you soothe many souls,

Hug,

Rudy

[Tilly220]

This is lovely NAncy...some lovely images, and powerful lyrics that a lot of people will identify with and reflect on..that's the mark of a good song !!

Nancy, every time I see a new video from you I know it will be something beautiful. You never disappoint me - this is just stunning. So wonderful to hear your beautiful poetry given such a lovely voice.

[nllleonard]

Well, it's nothing compared to what you write, Sharron! Thank you very much, though! One of these days, you're going to surprise me, and I'm going to find that you've posted one of your lovely poems! I can't wait!!!

~NAncy

[Carlfgauge]

~NAncy

[sinawava42]
