Hey Babs! You are truly blessed with a voice so very similiar to Melissa Etheridge's, I had to listen carefully...you have a softness to your voice...very beautiful thank you for sharing :)

[babs4TLove]

[LiteGauge]

This is very beautful, Babs. I don't know the original, but your version is lovely.

[navim49]

What a lovely song and a new one on me. I lost touch with Melissa after the first album. I think I need to reconnect with her music. Your interpretation is as always majestic. Nothing added or taken away. Just good music played to perfection.

[tony59able]

This was amazing Babs Perfect marriage of voice and instrument. Thanks for sharing. Mixed weather here. A summer of sorts. High humidity today, bad for guitars,ha ha Take care and and enjoy what remains of your break.

[onewomanandsomesongs]

Hi, Babs, just stoppin' in to listen to your latest. So wonderfully performed. Your covers are just excellent! Always enjoy listening.

Sorry I haven't been around a lot lately. I'm tending to some physical health probs right now, but I hope to be back to Youtube in full force soon. :) Janet

@bennettskb555 I'm so glad you liked it, Steve! (and so happy to hear from you!) <3 Babs

[ThinkingDog06]

In a word: beautiful -- one guitar / one voice doesn't get much better than this. I read your note about needing to "lighten up" but you've got a rare talent to communicate these beautifully melodic songs so keep 'em coming!

[babs4TLove]

@ThinkingDog06 Thank you so much, TD! I am so flattered! I do love the simplicity of just me and my Martin...by the way, your latest post, the Scottish folk song, was incredible! I really appreciate your kind words! Regards! Babs

[AllenandHammond]

Lovely Babs, fantastic upload!

[PCSongman]

Beautiful Babs. Love the controlled delivery you have with your voice. Just perfect for this song.

[cameragirlJane]

This song was a new one to me Babs. You sure did a beautiful job!! Wonderful way to start my Sunday!! Lovely my friend!! *****

[babs4TLove]

@cameragirlJane Hi Jane! Thanks so much! Glad I could help start off your Sunday. Pouring and thundering here, but we needed the rain! Work next week for me...boohoo...(-; Babs

[classican]

A truly beautiful performance Babs!!!! I loved it!!!

[babs4TLove]

@classican Thanks, Pete! I really appreciate it!

[ImOfTheWoods]

When I saw you were doing a Melissa Etheridge song, I thought - oh yes - perfect for Babs, and I was right! Beautiful job! ps enjoyed the way the vid was shot, and watching you stamp out those chords so easily. 8o)

[babs4TLove]

@ImOfTheWoods Thank you, Sylvia! I love her songs. I am trying to be a bit more creative and this was easy to do - just my "usual" with effects from movie maker! You inspired me with your wonderful videos! (-; Babs

[coolanddark]

Outstanding song and performance! Sounds so incredible! Never heard this song till now! WOW!

[babs4TLove]

@coolanddark Hey Dan! So glad you liked it! She has written some beautiful songs. (Hope that ghost has taken some prozac...lol! ) Enjoy the rest of the weekend! <3 Babs

[van1976]

Had to check out a "Babs" tune before I go visit Mom and Dad, (Dad has been seriously ill last couple months--when it rains, it pours.)

You do have a "Melissa" edge to your ever expanding repetoire. Great.

[POST003]

Sorry Babs, I was stuck for words the first time I listened to this beautiful song.

So I thought I'd give it another try, but still can't come up with anything better than :

"Absolutely very beautiful".

[babs4TLove]

@TheBeestoncowboy Thank you, Les! I appreciate your nice comment! (-; Babs

[CurtisMateer]

I remember her and her 12 string during the late 80s...It was refreshing to hear those female singer songwriters in NZ after we had been bombarded with wussy synth pop called New Romanticism for so long. I can't remember this one but you sure do sing it nicely.

[babs4TLove]

@CurtisMateer Thanks Pete! I would have loved to have written this one...glad you liked it! (-; Babs

[STUDIOCHINCHAN]

@nahs1988 Thanks, Chris! (-; Babs

[eatonjohnrobert]

Wow Babs, I should have known you would sound this good doing Melissa E. You have some similarities to her voice, kind of smokey and deliciously raspy.

[babs4TLove]

@eatonjohnrobert Thank you, John! What a nice compliment! <3 Babs

[PatrickGMoran]

Beautiful cover...I really really enjoyed this......

[babs4TLove]

@PatrickGMoran Hi Pat! Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! (-; Babs

[kidderminsterbro]

lovely song babs with so much conviction

after hearing it one would be very assured

that you would be guided by your hands.

i know what you mean about lightening up

a bit. sometimes you need just plain joy

to come from a song.

peace,rich

[babs4TLove]

@kidderminsterbro Thank you, Rich! This song was a bit of a challenge as it goes very low and then a bit high for my alto voice...but I loved it so much and just wanted to put it out there! By the way, I love the flute! How many instruments do you play? Such talent! Your friend and fan! <3 Babs

[namnoiz]

Very nice !!! :o) John

[babs4TLove]

@namnoiz Thank you, John! I want a Lava lamp again! (loved it!) <3 Babs
