Marc Cohn - The Things We've Handed Down (Special)

[stoops44]

got no kids sorry but still like the tune Mr Cohn. So I play it with my dog Stella.x

[sarabrown1234567]

Quite simply one of the greatest songs of all time. No more to say.

[Beauseant1]

My soul melts when I hear this song. One day I will dance with my son on his wedding day to this song. I sang it to him in the womb. Thanks Marc for such a wonderful song!!

[Pleaver]

I just emailed this to my two year old little girl. We opened a Gmail account for her to check much later. We send he updates and pictures and Youtubes like this gem from Mr. Cohn.

[silverstartrucker]

[kratosisgod12]

Anyone else hear a similarity in the epicness of this man and Eric clapton?

[jamesimmmo]

Justin Bieber is older than me and this is the 3rd most played song on my itunes, the first is True Companion...

[74mancity]

my mom and dad used this song to a video with me as a baby, and now iam crying everytime i here it

[MrNotfiman]

Great song. If you have kids this is THE song for them. Truly Brilliant.

[Afina79]

This is one of the best songs from a parent to a child ever. I listen to it a lot and will make sure to pass to my children when they have children of their own.

[kywomanlml]

I'm sure thankful God spared Mark's life a few years ago. He has much more music to write, record and perform... I hope.

If someone has the Marc Cohn song Lost You in the Canyon, could you please post uit. My money is so tight right now I can't afford to buy it, but I'd sure like to hear it. Thanks

[SelfRevolution37]

@treeswings you're a fuckin idiot dude. the song costs 1 dollar or you can download it off youtube or any of the hundreads of file sharing programs out

[treeswings]

@SelfRevolution37 I'm an regular guy gettin' up in my years. I've fought in wars, raised kids, held my mud and always treated others with respect. Being called a fuckin' idiot just doesn't set right with me hoss. If you can't find a better way to tell folks something, maybe you should consider not saying anything at all.

[DesertMoon93]

@SelfRevolution37 You should really try to expand your vocabulary. There was no reason to be insulting in your comment. In fact, you could have just been helpful by providing alternatives to purchasing the song.

Ive loved all of Marcs work since I first heard walking in memphis..so many of his songs are a part of my life and loves

[PeterBensen]

Dit nummer stond als text op het geboortekaartje van mijn oudste zoon Toby. Het is een universele waarheid "The things we handed down" het zit in onze genen.

Mark Cohn is een wereld zanger met vele mooie songs.

Tanks for put it on the tube.

Nice job, lvelev! And I totally concur with danielsmiller re: "Listening Booth: 1970" -- it's a brilliant CD! Another Shaker Hts. grad, eh? We lived there for about 10 years -- still remember my eyes getting wide the first time I heard Marc sing about "coming up Winslow down South Park Blvd." -- but I haven't been back in many years. Lovely place to grow up, but not so much in the winter unless you REALLY like snow!

[danielsmiller]

Thanks for the reply! You did a wonderful job with the video! Did you know that Marc just released a new CD a few weeks ago....Listening Booth: 1970? It's a recompilation of 12 songs initially released in 1970. Since we're all the same age, I know you'll love it! I got it on Friday, listened to it all day, played it a dinner party on Saturday and everyone raved about it!

[lvelev]

Daniel, this time I'd like to thank you for your valuable information. I'll try and get this new CD from Marc as soon as possible. Thanks for your comment on my video. Please, type my ID: lvelev and watch my other great videos that I made since May 6th 2010 - all 23 of them. Stay tunned. Take care and give my regards to Marc when you have a chance to meet him again! Best Regards, Lubo! (my nick name)

[danielsmiller]

I had the words to this song done in calligraphy and them framed and hung them in the nursery before my son was born. It captures everything a new parent thinks and hopes and sets it to the most peaceful melody. I played it non-stop when he was born and revisit it often. My son is now 10...still a favorite song...still brings tears to my eyes! An enduring gift from Marc, my old high school buddy!

[lvelev]

Hey Daniel, great to hear these wonderful wonderful words from you about your personal story with your son and to know the fact that you and Marc were ols high school buddies! Well, I'm exactly your age and then it makes us 3! This song is one of my Marc's favorites and I hope that my video has captured great moments in still photos. Peace and friendship! Cheers!

[lvsiii]

@danielsmiller Beautiful song. Equally beautiful words here, Daniel M..

[rpashoukos]

I've always loved this song..
