  • For you. I feel my search is done.

  • OMG. So this is the song Ethan sings for them. Hmm. I can see why Reid was so upset. Still, awesome song. This guy's good.

  • "There ain't no act of god girl/Could keep you safe from me"? "So don't you dare and try to walk away/I've got my heart set on our wedding day"? "Then I'll take you home/And with wild abandon/Make love to you just like a true companion"?

    These are not the thoughts of a "true companion"...they sound kinda rape-y

  • amazing song...and a true companion trough hard times...:)..

    

  • as of right now this song is the best song iv ever heard in my life.

  • i walked down the isle to this! Love it!

  • Comment removed

  • maybe i have been in love... maybe i have not... but this song sums it up perfectly

  • I will never forget this song!

  • I love this song! Such a Sweet message! ♥

  • I think this song should be used at every engagement party and should replace the traditional wedding "walk down the aisle music" to ensure ppl understand the commitment they're making. It's on my Playlist about 6 times, and I never get tired of the words.... That's what it's all aboutt. I was brought up to marry only someone I truly like.

  • this is way too intense and beautifulll for me to listen to now .. last heard it when i got married 12 years ago. Now getting ready to get married second time round and Marc speaks to me again ...

  • @1andrewt dude its a good song, but maybe you should rethink getting married

  • THIS IS MY WIFE AND MY WEDDING SONG 20YEARS AGO

  • love it

  • Wow :-)

  • Marc Cohn rocks.!

  • Sang this to my wife at our wedding 5 years ago and for my mom and her husband when they got married about 11 years ago (song dedicated to my deceased grandmother)...I think I cry happy and/or sad tears everytime I sing it. LOVE Marc Cohn and really love this song

  • We had this sung at our wedding on October 14, 1995.

  • it was my first dance song 12/3/11 made more ppl then you could imagine cry. thanks Marc Cohn for this inserational song.

  • This was our first dance.... 10.1.10 .... we both cried! I love this song. :)

  • This was our wedding song; my wife came down the aisle to it, fifteen years ago yesterday. Still makes me cry.

  • Great song from a great album.

    100 % spiritual.

  • lik um

  • To Tracey a girl I never had the bottle to ask to marry me.My loss x

  • Great song,I must say I have great respect for a man who can let his feelings show and step up to the plate and be true to the woman he loves :)))))))))) A touching ballad for those who want love to last a lifetime and be there for the long haul :))XOXO..A rarity these days..

  • @diamondkal  So well said ...

  • @buffalo738 Thank you very much..I must say I'm still searching..met up with a few toads along the way..I have to think with the New Year upon us there is still hope that there's a real standup man out there who really knows the real meaning of love and realizes that with real love one must accept the good and bad times and weather the storm..have a very Happy New Year ..

  • wowza <3

  • Ich wollte dir noch soviel Liebe geben!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mein Gedanken kreisen nur um dich. Es tut mir so leid. Ich Liebe dich doch so sehr! Dein Sven

  • Love it! <3

    

  • This song makes me cry. It's so beautiful... If I get married, I want this as my first dance song. <3

  • I got married 2 years ago and this was our first dance xxx beautifull song that hardly anyone knows so it definatly made them listen to the words xxxx

  • I just discovered this song for the first time two days ago and fell in love with it.  I have given this song to my girlfriend, letting her know that this is how I feel about her and what I wish for us. She is my true companion, and I hope we end up being each others angels.

  • What a voice! Great lyrics. Awesome song.

  • Yes, I'll climb a mountain

    I'm gonna swim the sea

    There ain't no act of God, Girl

    Could keep you safe from me

    My arms are reaching out

    Out across this canyon

    I'm asking you to be my true companion

    Beautiful, I'm not asking for perfection; just a sincere, honest you.

  • Why they don't perform any more great songs these days like this one??

    WHY??

  • This is a beautiful song....i wish i could have what he is singing about.

  • Ugh. you know he meant it for someone. precious.

  • This singer/songwriter/musician became my new favorite a few years back! Amd my favorites would be Dan Fogelberg, Jackson Browne...........Marc Cohn! It was pretty cool to find out how Jackson Browne put him up at his recording studio early in Marc's career! BobbyK

  • True love sent me here

  • Comment removed

  • Swifty sent me here

  • I first heard this song in the car traveling to South Fla. with our baby in the backseat, he played it for me! Years later, and two kids, we got married and I walked down the aile while this song played. Now i get to hear this song on my own. It's a bittersweet song for me.

  • One of my all time favourite songs from his great album.

    The lyrics are meaningful, well, to me.

  • great lyrics & instrumental, beautiful execution. True romance.

  • I first heard this sond at a wedding and thought it was the most beautiful song ever.

  • I heard this song for the first time last night when the guy I'm talkin to played it he said he wants to play it at his wedding :) and i think it's an amazing song :)

  • this was my wedding song

    

  • People need to get hip to Mark Cohn.. He produced Peter Gabriel.. He is an amazing singer/writer/musician/produce­r.. He came out with Walking in Memphis in country music.. I am from Nashville, and of course the morons that know nothing about music that run our industry dropped the ball and he left, so now we Taylor Swift.. Genius huh? Nashville did the same with Lyle Lovett. We are sorry.. Please listen to these 2 amazing artists..

  • @SuperGuitarman69 I couldn't agree more. He is such an amazing artist. Another of my favorites that has never gotten recognition he deserves is JOHN PRINE! I can say the same about Bonnie Rait. Love them!!!

  • @SuperGuitarman69 I agree ...10/10 great comment...I am a huge fan. Great singer/song writer. Very cool.

  • One of the most beautiful songs ever written.

  • He makes my soul sing......

  • It is hard to believe this song is over 20 years old. It is as fresh as when it was new. One of the greatest love songs EVER. It talks about 20 years from now, twenty years ago. The song is about...now.

  • this song gives me goosebumps every time i hear it SO GREAT!!

  • 6 people don't have a true companion.

  • This is the most romantic song its on 1st rank. :P

  • man , if you have the studio version of perfect love, please post it.. that is my all time favorite.. this is awsome as well...thanks

  • wie von gott selber geschieben ;DDD

  • gobless this song its so beutiful...!!!!!

  • sehr sehr schön zum träumen wirklich.******

  • Brandy and Paul.... December 2000

  • Unser Song, mein Schatz! Weißt du noch, unser erster Adend, unser erster Kuß?

    Ich denke jeden Tag daran und träume jede Nacht davon. Du bist die Liebe meines Lebens, die liebevollste, zärtlichste und schönste Frau der Welt. Auf all meinen Wegen wirst du in meinem Herzen sein! Du fehlst mir so sehr! Forever your true companion!!!

    Te quiero mucho

  • I love this song!

  • my parents wedding song. 19 years later & still going strong. <3

  • who the heck dislikes this song? They must not believe in old fashioned and emotional love songs.

  • My mom just got married yesterday and "her Johnny" picked out this song for when she walked down the isle.(:

  • What a truly brilliant piece of music!

  • This is my husband Eric & my wedding/life song....LOVE IT.

  • This song is incredibly amazing! I'll put it for sure in my wedding video!

  • I heard this song several years ago when a famous figure skater lost her husband and they used to couple skate together, the first time she went back out on the ice without him this is the song she skated to, does anyone know the name of the iceskater thanks rhonda

  • @rhondaoct7

    It was probably Ekaterina Goordeva after she lost her husband, Sergei Grinkov.

  • to my Rocker, my soulmate....I love you. This song speaks to me and you. Even though we can't be together right now, I have faith in you that you will come back to where you belong. Remember what we are together...what we share together..what we wanted our future to be together. Listen to that big heart of yours and you will see. I am your happiness...your light...your life. We are True Companions baby and my heart will always be yours

  • This is mine and my husband's wedding song 12 years ago and I simply cannot listen to it without crying. It touches me in a way very few songs do. I am of Viking heritage and my hubby has loved anything Viking since he was 5. On my shoulder blade I have a tattoo of a Viking man and woman. Over that, our names and underneath "True Companians". It will be played at both our funerals. That's how much it means to us. Simply beautiful song...

  • Awesome <3

  • my husband and i came across this song by accident looking for wedding songs and this was our first dance wedding song... absolutely beautiful xxx

  • This was the First song we danced to as husband and wife... 15 years ago...

  • this song reminds me of my girlfriend and i and how we want to get married

  • My husband and I played this the night we eloped as we slowly danced in the light of the full moon coming in through the large picture window in our living room. Such a perfect song for us. Thank you Marc Cohn and may God bless you the way you have blessed us.

  • Marc 's songs are helping me through a very deep depression that I've finally faced after many years of denial. I found my way back to his records a few weeks ago and with some medication (that is a must) and his music I can finally come to rest at night.

    Marc is fantastic!

  • Susan: I reached out with my right arm - and you where there just like you said you would be. I took hold of your hand and said, 'I do..., then I said 'I will'..., now I say 'I must'... God's Speed... and I will be your True Companion xxx.

  • elizabeth you are a luck lady!! kiss Marc for me:=):=)

  • This was our wedding song 14 years ago but my wife is now standing with Angels but she left we with a Angel before she left our beautiful 4 year old son. I miss her so much I watch our wedding video with this song to our first dance and God i wish you where here with us. Love you

  • @levinunez23 Your angel will always be with you, and you are so right she left a little piece of heaven and herself with you... take care of yourself and your son... you will find another love, it will not be the same, but you deserve it and your angelic wife would want you to find love again... God Bless you and your son. Teresa

  • @levinunez23 Listening to this song and saw your comment...It made me cry. So sorry for your loss, I'm sure she is an Angel watching over you and your son.

  • @levinunez23

    broken hearted for you

  • @levinunez23 It brought tears to my eyes when I read your post.On 27th August this year it will have been 10years since I had the same happen to me.This song was played on our wedding day and in the church at the funeral.My son was 2 when it happened to us.Don't know how recent your loss was but all I can say is hold your memories dear and cherish your little angel.He will keep you strong in your darkest hours and give you a reason to keep getting up at the start of each new day.

  • Marc Cohn was twenty years ahead of his time......his music is heard in so much of todays music.....simply amazing!

  • discovered this song by accident and it is one of the most beautiful and best heartfelt songs i have ever heard!!!!

  • One of the most beautiful songs ever!

  • This was our wedding song. Great master piece!

  • This song is a masterpiece! Nothing need more be said about this beautiful song! Love, BobbyK

  • This song is unbelievably moving and touching. Everytime I hear it just get so teary eyed. How can you not like this song those that hit dislike suck. Is it me or does he sound a little bit like Bruce Springstein???

  • .....wow....my wedding song too 15 years ago....but we are divorced:=)

  • This was our wedding song 15 years ago, and still going strong my husband will put this on and we still dance in our living room..Still in love.

  • One of the best songwriter/performers alive. A national treasure.

  • Used this song as our first dance at our wedding.  Love it , love it!

  • I knew the day I met my husband at the Martin Luther King Celebration in Everett Washington he was going to be my True Companion for the rest of my life. We are soon approaching 19 years of marriage and I love him more than I can imagine. He is a God sent man for me. He brings me joy everyday of my life. I can't wait until we are walking arm and arm. I will always be in love with you. TC2

  • A few weeks after I met my wife she had me listen to this song. 8 months later it was the first song we danced to at our wedding reception. It is beautiful and timeless.  I still always sign any notes or mail to my wife as "your TC" (True Companion).

  • if i'm ever gonna get married, this definately is the song i want to hear at my wedding...

  • @194sneak The first time I heard it I said the same thing.

  • This was supposed to be the song hubby and I danced to at our wedding. Alas, he left the cd at home.

    We've slow danced to this song several times in our living room. After 10 years, I still get the warm fuzzies.

  • 18 years ago, 3-27-93 this was our wedding song, it still fits. I love you baby

  • Funny thing, i usually listen to music like In Falmes, Iron Maiden and such... But theres something about Marc Cohn, nevermind musical preference, because in the end, talent is talent, and Marc Cohn shows off his own in this song like nothing ive ever heard!

  • Comment removed

  • @mebob69 I don't think Live4TheGame2 meant it like that, they simply noticed the mistype and wanted some clarification! I don't think we need to go so far as to say that they are responsible for the misery in the world, bit extreme don't ya think? This song is so passionate and loving, the comment page should be all about the love! People get so angry on these things! Calm it down people...

  • I want this at my wedding and I am a bloke!

  • One day I will marry my "True Companion" and this will be our song!!

    I love you "Cowboy" I am waiting!!!! XOXO

  • I was reunited with my first love after 24 years and he surprised me with this song as he wanted to let me know just how much he has missed and loved me all these years and wanted to find the right words to tell me. This song is now going to be our wedding song and I also want him to know that I have never loved anyone more then him and he makes my life so complete and has shown me what it's truly like to feel alive and also feel like a woman again. Love You David! Your My World!!

  • @cfhenderson68 wow. goosebumps. Wish you all the best!

  • love it thanks!

  • doesn't anyone know where I might find the lyrics to this song. I love it so much and would love to have the words. thanks for your help. :)

  • @rzblueangel you can just google "lyrics to true companion by marc cohn"

  • Best song ever!! Mine and My wife's song. We have been through some tough times and this song reminds me of why we are together! Anew being is being brought into this world and this is why. there good people out there!!

  • People always wonder what happened to Mark. He got shot, right? Then That's it?

    There are a lot of answers but the main one is, His debut album is one of the best of all time.

    And that is hard to top.

    As time rolls by.......

  • Good to hear my wife of 18 years wedding song is still sounding great ! ! I need to go hug her and smile. Live life, love life...you only live once on this planet...it ain't so bad the other things that happen don't really matter. It's the people that you surround yourself with. Everyday will count and if you can smile and get over the problems like everyday is your last, you will win.

  • My brother and his wife got married this weekend they had this as one of the songs. Good to know i wasnt the only one :)

    Maybe my family just knows good music?......

  • Love, Love, Love, this song.

  • What a beautiful song.

  • @TheFirthFan I am Very Sorry that happened to you. I have lost many family members pass. but to be in the same house as it happens I Really couldn'r imagine the kind of pain you went through. I give oyu best wishes

  • @TheFirthFan :( awe ...

  • @TheFirthFan not to be insenstive...but that day hasnt happened yet...and if it happened on christmas night, it would be the 25th not the 26th which is the morning after

  • Comment removed

  • @TheFirthFan I do that too sometimes. Especially when it's my birthday, I put my birthyear instead of the current year. It's OK - most of us understand and it really isn't as important as the feelings you have for your true companion.

  • @TheFirthFan well again not to be insenstive but this is youtube...not a talk show.....im just bein real no harm intended i mean it

  • @TheFirthFan

    My condolences.

  • @TheFirthFan I am so sorry to hear about your loss - this is a beautiful song.

  • @TheFirthFan i wonder, it's not even the 26th of december yet... ?!
