Grain on the Shore - Mary Win (Original Music Video, Ovation Balladeer)

[BuyThisSong]

I just started my channel and I want to make it a collection of only the best original songs and singers on you tube . You are surely one of them . Come on board to BuyThisSong . It's in it's infancy but you never know what my concept might bring . I want to make it easy for the industry to find and discover the best .

[MysteryMusicMaker]

All training of your live will never overbit this song and interpretation Mary. -MMM

[MysteryMusicMaker]

Your're here again without any doubtsabout what you're doing. You're completely sure about the song and the interpretation. Don't change this song, but a new version with more instruments will be very interesting! Love this! -MMM

[MysteryMusicMaker]

I'm absolutely sure that this is your best one, or at least one of the five best. Outstanding song! I would like to hear a new makeup with drums, flute etc. worked out with your new software and precast drums-samples. No changes in the notes or vocal range. Exactly same song, but with a bigger background-outfit!

[Cheengow]

Okay, this song has officially earned a spot in my top ten most favorite songs ever!

[bunchie1966]

Quite a moving song. Well done.

[Cole15Magic]

This is great Mary! I love your style. I think you'd enjoy my music as well, if you give some of it a listen. We seem to have a similar musical vibe. It's the New Age sister... We're the change. Keep it up! :)

[zzz333ist]

Very beautiful song....! Bye ( from Italy)

[MysteryMusicMaker]

I'm sorry Mary, but this is surely one of your best songs. There is a need to make a full music underpainting with a mystical touch to put the song in the perfect embedment. Hope there will be the day for you to have a full musicstudio with all possibilitys or a good band special for your music. -MMM

[bukofezra]

I can almost hear an orchestra kind of sound coming from this tune...could be the guitar making those reverberating sounds...almost like a harmonica effect....this song is awesome, I love it.

[frozenwhitebear]

fantastic both lyrics and tune, I feel a sort of style-forming, stable structure within them... love the tempo- and min-maj-changes... and well, I'm jealous of your frog backing singers, lol, you should always take them with you on stage for this piece!! cheeers! ;o))

[marywinmusic]

hello Andreas, a very thoughtful and fun compliment. Thank you friend. Spring has awakened the frogs once more. I'm so grateful for their return because they can consume mosquito larvae :-)

[blackturtleshow]

Stopped by to check out another of your songs. Great stuff! Amazing vocals!

[marywinmusic]

@blackturtleshow thank you for taking the time :-) wishing you a creative Spring.

[Cheengow]

I think I just figured out why I love this song so much, besides the fact that it has beautiful lyrics and is sung wonderfully by the incomparable Mary Win. It just really takes me back to the time I was courting my wife and would go visit her in Santa Cruz. We'd walk on the beach. Thank you, Mary!

[marywinmusic]

hello Cheengow, such a lovely story, thank you for sharing your memory. glad you like this melody.

[spiralisedcat]

that was gorgeous,Its fantastic watching your older vids and seeing your talents mould and fine tune,you probably dont know it but your evolving amazingly as a singer songwriter.

[marywinmusic]

good morning Chesterfield, such a thoughtful comment and once more my thanks to you for tuning in to my older works. I'm honored you noted my progress ^ ^

[golgofa33]

Deep and strong, straight and true...

[marywinmusic]

Hi golgofa33, I'm happy you enjoyed my lyrics, your comment is appreciated :)

[WHITETRASHDOLL]

I as of this moment your biggest fan!!!!!!!!

[marywinmusic]

Hi Mary, I dig your name : -) thanks so much for listening and watching.

[marywinmusic]

Becca, those frogs man, that day they were as bad as buses, planes, even lawn mowers, lol - our worst enemies :D

[sonatadude]

Your so beautiful with a voice very lovely. Have a nice day Mary

[marywinmusic]

Greg, you are ever kind, have a wonderful week.

[dayleyduran]

I like this one, interesting embellishments in the chord progression, it also sounds like you're going in and out of cut time through out the whole song, cool idea :)

[marywinmusic]

Howdy Dayley, you're kind to note my fingerings, it's fun to mix it up a little. Appreciate you listening to a much older song of mine :)

[doulos737]

Hi Mary, This is one of my favorite songs by you. :) Probably most of us have desired to be somebody else for a while. Yes, and though we may all at times feel like just a small insignificant grain on the vast shore filled with many grains of sand, we are all very unique and somehow individually contribute to making the beach 'Special'. :)

[marywinmusic]

doulos737, I hope to do this song some justice and 'Me Singing Me" it, ha. Your comment leaves me thinking so many hoooomans must think alike ;)

[doulos737]

Yes Mary, A wise man once wrote that there's nothing new under the sun. We humans are alike in so many ways, but when we look deeper, we'll always find that special individuality. Remember what was discovered about the snowflake and our fingerprints (no 2 exactly alike - but it's not until we delve deeper that we make that discovery. Perhaps one of us should write a song about that... :)

[withnailus]

Nice song , please take the time to check my songs out

[marywinmusic]

withnailus, well you know I'm such a very very busy person, LoL! I'd love to see your work and I appreciate you giving me a personal reminder. I ask my subscriptions to send me a message when they post new songs if possible, I am a bit ADD ;) Saw you like Nick Drake, look forward to listening.

[funbythesink]

Very nice sound!

I like it.

[marywinmusic]

funbythesink, thanks so much! I'm glad it could be of service.

[Cheengow]

This song has inspired me to write a screenplay.

[marywinmusic]

Cheengow, this song? hm.. I'm glad you enjoy this older tune :)

[Cheengow]

Yes, it's got a great vibe, very reminiscent of the 1990s to me.

[TheDentist27]

I've come to your pieces from time to time for over a year and a half. I always come back to this one though. I think you wrote it from the back of your mind without trying? George Carlin talked about that in an interview he gave before he died, writing from the neural-network of experience in the back of our ind rather than putting things together with thoughts at the front.

[marywinmusic]

TheDentist27, great question! thanks for your interest too. I think certain songwriters travel through various stages of ignorance is bliss : ) Though we become "enlightened" or are aware of what we are doing - we are always unaware at the same time : ) I'm confused now + in a state of thought hehe.

[julietmustbegay]

I'm really fond of this.

[marywinmusic]

julietmustbegay, that's a really nice thing to say! I appreciate your time : )

[ridrid96]

Awesome!!

[marywinmusic]

ridrid96, thanks for stopping by my older videos too : )

[ridrid96]

Mary, Your welcome! I like all your music!!

[MysteryMusicMaker]

You've said that "Just Fall Back" and this great piece are from the same timearea. Both pieces are stronger in the sound and more determinant, certain. It takes effect like > "Found".

- MMM

[marywinmusic]

MysteryMusicMaker, thank you :D

[Cheengow]

It's me again! I wanted to hear the song again. It rocks!

[marywinmusic]

Cheengow, a piece I'd love to re-post with two years improved vocals, haha. in good time. Your support rocks!

[Cheengow]

Oh, that'd be awesome. And I've love to have the mp3. Thanks again for the beautiful singing and song-writing.

[Cheengow]

I had to log on to hear grain on the shore today. Thank you. It did me wonders. I'm just a grain on the shore, too. and that's not a bad thing.

[marywinmusic]

Cheengow, I like your perspective :D

[jbelhamou]

I'm from france, paris

I heard this song 3 times a day

so beautifull, so great

thank"s

[marywinmusic]

jbelhamou, wow! thanks for your greetings =}

[jbelhamou]

I heard it 4 times now

lol

[marywinmusic]

jbelhamou, thanks so much : ) I have a new arrangement and hopefully I can share it soon.

[doulos737]

So far, I like this song the best...You don't look as short in this one for some reason... :)... But that's not it... Nice soothing quality to your voice... Keep it up Mary Win... :)

[marywinmusic]

doulos737, will do my friend :)

[Cheengow]

This song rocks. Any questions?

[MysteryMusicMaker]

Can you send me the tabs for this?

Thanks.

[marywinmusic]

rustedstevie, thank you and Janie for your starry support :)

[MysteryMusicMaker]

I like this song so much because of this deepness. Not only in the lyrics, the melodie and your voice is so suitably. All fits. I'm shure that this is a big song and i love it!

[marywinmusic]

MysteryMusicMaker, I have a new version of it, I'll have to post it in the future :D

[Tenebra84]

[marywinmusic]

Tenebra84, thanks for your congrats :)

[TheRxBlues]

Wow, just speechless. You have a very unique voice that pierces my ears with euphoria. You play this with ease, yet it gushes out with emotion. Great job.

-Dr. Blues

[marywinmusic]

TheRxBlues, euphoria? not me :) you must be mistaken, heehee :) Thank you for your encouragement Dr. Blues :)

[TheRxBlues]

Hey no problem. I do not know you as a person, but through your music, it has a language of its own that I can understand. As a musician myself, I understand the emotions that goes through every song for a musician. Just keep doing what you do and music will bring happiness. -Peace

[marywinmusic]

TheRxBlues, thanks for your in depth comment :) I will keep at it. Yep, us musicians are whiners aren't we? LoL

MMM, boy that doesn't sound like a sexual innuendo :D Just kidding. I do love thunderstorms though. They're very entrancing to listen to. Your dedication to supporting my music is supreme and well acknowledged =) Cheers, ~Mary

[willythewave]

Thanks so much marywin for the comment, reply. You have a new "loyal fan". I subscribed to your site and look forward to your next song {or comment}. I think I`ve found a new love. lol Say, if your interested check out my friend BillyRay1952.He`s all country but also an exceptional singer, you might like him. Also Katelyn Autry, have you heard of her? One more time, your Great girl.

[marywinmusic]

willythewave, aw shucks thanks so much for your ultra kind words =) I've heard of Katelyn Autry but not her music - will go check her out on youtube as well as your friend : ) Cheers, ~Mary

[Cre7tiv]

Catchy tune...did you really compose it by your self ? I don't know what would happen if this song would be professional mixed...

[marywinmusic]

Cre7tiv, yep all my songs are original : ) Cheers, ~Mary :D

[stephenjamescrowther]

[refici222]

[marywinmusic]

Thanks Paul :*)

[refici222]

As Carlo Santana once said you find the greatest musicians on the streets but in this case the internet also, the internet is such a blessing cause without it we wouldnt know know such talent existed, thank you Mary

[marywinmusic]

Paul, thanks so much for your kind words. I find many talented Independent musicians through youtube I enjoy too. Gotta' love the tube :-} Cheers, ~Mary

[lfk101]

[gabysantof]

I'm From Argentina, my english is not very good... but... I want to say that you have a voice very similar to Shakira... nice :-)

[marywinmusic]

gabysantof, glad you find my voice nice :-)

Cheers, ~Mary

[bigchinasean]

Are you concerned that your rhyming is fairly conventional?  Your guitar playing is serviceable at best. Unless you are trying to be tedious. Try listening to Roddy Frame or Nick Drake for guitar. It is hard to get away with what Bob Dylan did. That was boring as all get out. You listened to the first forty seconds and you heard the whole song. I don't know how I arrived here. That was boring.

[RodneySTR]

i feel u . awsume singing and playing :)

[marywinmusic]

RodneySTR, glad to hear you can feel it. Happy to know you enjoy my work. Cheers, ~Mary ;-)

[razorio007]

Acoustic shoegaze...neato!

[marywinmusic]

razorio007, thanks for yer' neato : ) Cheers, ~Mary

[imtubester]

I hate this comment thingy! I can't my comment that it says you replyed to. Damn it!

[nagarpoe]

I love this song. Sent me chills down my spine

[marywinmusic]

nagarpoe, glad to hear you really enjoy this song :D

[freesouljah]

would the shore exist without all the individual grains?

[marywinmusic]

Yes, but it would be a grainless shore and therefore my insignificance would exist in another place.

[freesouljah]

or your significance...depending on how you look at it... ;D

[marywinmusic]

Very good :D

[ShizophrenAngel]

Its really good...

[marywinmusic]

ShizophrenAngel, glad to hear you find it good.

[munkeyonfire]

It was a great song and I like the way you sang it but one part in the beging you made a lisp but I am not trying to be rude or mean I am just letting you know. Sounded GOOD , just that one lisp Take care

[marywinmusic]

munkeyonfire, glad to hear it sounded good. Take care :)

[rozz011]

You're great! Where you been all this time?!

[marywinmusic]

rozz011, hibernating :)

[MysteryMusicMaker]

When i heard this song it reminds me on a 'warning'. The lyrics are wise. I hope Mary will life her own lyrics. But i think she will!

[marywinmusic]

MysteryMusicMaker, glad to hear you find the lyrics wise in this one. I sure do live my lyrics as they stories of my past times :D

[MysteryMusicMaker]

Every song seems to be a part of the same story (in a positive meaning). It seems there must happened a real strong cut in your heart longer time ago¿¿¿??? Do you ever upload "Linger"? Has that all to do (in the last meaning) with your first 'official' song Mary?

[marywinmusic]

Hi MMM, you are awesome for listening to the stories of my lyrics enough to spot the consistent theme, really you're the first. I've got some deep mental cuts (who hasn't?) so it really affects my songwriting. Thank you again for noticing. It's tricky re-learning old songs and improving them so I will post my first song Linger in a few months when I've worked out the kinks : ) Cheers, ~Mary

[MysteryMusicMaker]

MMMMMhhhhh, i think not everyone has mental or heartcuts. But the most have, that's true May Win. Particularly in the today's times i think, but i don't know really. I mean i understand your lyrics. Yes, workout 'Linger' or send me the song. I'm interested to hear 'Linger'!

[marywinmusic]

MysteryMusicMaker, one day I shall release "Linger" on youtube. Perhaps within three months : ) Cheers, ~Mary :

[brighteyes498]

lol wow thats funny, I've been playing around with this exact same chord progression for like two years now. Perhaps we are musical soulmates or somethin or another haha. I like this song good stuff man.

[marywinmusic]

brighteyes498, just a slight Mark Lanegan-esque (Screaming Trees) melody :D Cheers, ~Mary

[rudenbomb]

Dont tell her how to play its music and music is art,the record co will do that : (

[marywinmusic]

rudenbomb, thanks for your kind support :D

[BartG19]

No there is nothing wrong with that intro! You should see that intro as something to bring to you what she feels before she starts singing with her voice like an angel ;)

[marywinmusic]

BartG19, you're so kind :D

[c4ller]

remainds me of anouk. beautifulll:)

[marywinmusic]

c4ller, glad to hear you find this song beautiful :D

[sundog47]

Hey Mary: Kill the 70's long intros. Anybody can play guitar so try to put your voice on top. You have the gift, let us hear your voice.

[MysteryMusicMaker]

The passages without voice are in the case of professional recording filled with effects, sounds and instruments. This song is outstanding!

[marywinmusic]

MysteryMusicMaker, you're so kind :D

[marywinmusic]

sundog47, thanks for your opinion.

[kabee69]

Hey Mary :-) I did find out your other songs, and they are all very good listening. You can play and sing, girl.

[marywinmusic]

kabee69, thanks so much for listening to lots of my songs thanks for your compliments :D

[bluwng]

this song is really beautiful and you are very talented, thanks for posting this video

[marywinmusic]

bluwng, thanks for calling me talented, glad you enjoy this video :)

[robertmillion]

Wow, just wow. That was beautiful! I needed a tissue, really! Thank you Mary, thank you.

Robert Demers

[marywinmusic]

Robert Demers, I'm happy to hear you find this one beautiful :)

[JOSHUAJPALACIOS]

COOL ;D XD

[marywinmusic]

JOSHUAJPALACIOS, glad you find it cool XD

[serdard1]
