if you could see me now

[csmsmith1]

Always loved the guitar work on this song. It strangely matches the sad and soft sound of hurricane Irene's winds, blowing against my wet window, as I listen to it. I try to watch how you strum with your thumb and learn a few more chords, can't leave the guitar since I picked it back in April, play every bloody day. Gave up on the thumb though, going back to my own way. Need a nice way to kill my time while stranded by this hurricane. :)

[marycigarettes]

@csmsmith1 stay safe cynthia..hopefully that hurricane will be over before you know it.

[periurban]

Fantastic vibe!

[beachfrontal]

Listening  to your music & watching your expressive face is like trolling in an emotional minefield,from laughing,smiling,enjoying the genuine Mary on the first video this morning to this one was like sitting astride a pendulum,being swung from one extreme to another you play beautifully with my emotions,you do it with the most beautiful melodies,&lyrics of anyone ever a pleasure tostop & listen(I mean listening) to your lyrics they command attention.I loved it I'm a soppy bastard really.

[luvperu1]

@beachfrontal . LIKE# 109 Dear Mary..You ripped my heart out,

and with tears in my eyes I thank you for the journey into your soul.. I sit here very disconnected and need to compose myself before I come back again and leave

another comment..Thank you DAVID for sharing >>>

[beachfrontal]

@luvperu1 So you liked it eh. go to mary's channel, and be amazed just left speachlesss, sometimes he does speak from the shoulder, but that can't be a bad thing.

I went there today for a visit, and lost 5 hours listening to some of the most awesome lyrics eVAAH lol. go enjoy, he is funny too sometimes./frequently, actually David.

[xxxSARADxxx]

@beachfrontal Thank you dear David, indeed a bautiful lyrics.

Bonnie

[beachfrontal]

Like #108.Mary,I have been there, I lost someone that was very special,I remember wishing to be alone, my fault, we have to be careful what we ask for,it doesn't always work.I'd give anything to kiss that person one more time and step back from the brink,rethink a decision,undo on a computer is a wonderful facility, I've been priviledged I have love in my life (More than once) only once was the real thing! that's the one I miss.Where is that button? loved this, again you touched a nerve.

[Neffabletranscendent]

How generous of you to share yourself so openly on YouTube. I so enjoy reading what you write in the sidebar. =)

I was swallowing my tears through this one and I wanted sooooo much to hug you when it was over. So I guess it's safe to say I connected. Your voice has the perfect quality to sing the blues.

Thank you so much for sharing!

HUGZZZZ!

[marycigarettes]

@Neffabletranscendent that is very generous of YOU to say such kind things..the music causes a cycle and it feels like we give to each other...thanks so much

hi gina..the version that i know is by millie jackson on her album'still caught up'...and that's a wonderful album about a woman who goes insane because of her cheating lover and ends up in an asylum..i think rita coolidge did a version of it with kris kristofferson.

[marycigarettes]

Lo!..i hope you're okay...don't stay down for too long...its the summertime of your life!!!

[EdMuirton]

Love your druming on the guitar Mary. Whatever instrument, it's all drums to me. Hit or pluck this thing at the right time. Beautiful song man, and the singing, just down right superb! Love how you sing from your soul! I try to, but, as I'm sure you know, it's very hard to be that open. Wish I could! Maybe one day.. Cheers Mary! Your an inspiration Sir!

[marycigarettes]

what a friggin lovely thing to read,wild man ed .....you're right ...it can be hard opening up....the thing that eventually makes it possible is to just not give a fuck...we worry too much what other people might think...fuck em!....open yer legs and let yer pussy bleed.....and if people give you a hard time...and they often do,fuck em....but a lot of people will be really encouraging.....people like you...and i'm very grateful for it..keep on rockin in a free world, ed.

[loveoverlove]

very beautiful! Great voice!! Husky hanker

[alexandraxxxxxx]

Hey again fellah! You know, if your voice was a drug the government would ban it for being too pure and addictive!

[kentishbloke]

Wow Mary...I just made the connection with the vid link you sent me. Makes this all the more poignant. What happened to the pink Les Paul? Would look fab with your yellow Crombie lol. I know it's little consolation but for me you have developed into a far more listenable comodity since those days and at least you can say " I was there". CRACKERJACK!!!

[dashpoet]
