Mary Gauthier - Between The Daylight And The Dark

[CaperJake]

Can't believe I have not heard this marvellous, touching, brilliant singer-songwriter. Awesome.

[evanderbachus]

Dylan, Prine, Kristofferson, Van Zandt, Earle, Clark, make a little room for Mary Gauthier.

[MrTweeel]

What a delivery! Unique and beautiful!

[Mike892643]

A magic album!

[FXMAN66]

I first saw MG when she was opening a show in Tucson for I cant even remember who now. That tells you something about her set. At the end of her set the place was speechless and the room was all bet empty for the headliner when she entered the lobby to watch the show for the back. Very humble and kept encouraging everyone to respect the other artist. 

[MsCrispybacon]

Yes me too - Found this fantastic musical talent not to mention another great author - the lady who wrote Case Histories.....brilliant books

[Billbear49]

Me too. Case Histories.

[neilapayne]

it was 'Case Histories' for me too. Blew me away. Made me cry. It's not often to get such a 'connect'. My brother died 4 weeks ago and I heard Mercy Now. That is the power of good songs.

[emslessor]

Mercy Now has been used on a BBC programme called Case Histories and that is how I have found her. I am sure that many more will now look her up. She has such a haunting voice.

Una canzone dalla musicalita' incantervole-Mi ricorda quasi certi country-blues

degli ninizi del secolo 900 dove con poca strumentalita e con grande inventiva

alcuni artisti misero le basi per la musica blues-rock degli anni nostri-

Un bacio a Mary-

Orepira-

Strangely we live in a world where such a beautiful song has only 25,000 views in comparison to 270 million views for Eminem ft. Rihanna.

The difficulty for me has always been the distance between darkness and daylight, and that doesn't sound poetic at all.

[golasej]

Just discovered her on Maryland radio - PBS Salisbury - AMAZING!!

[frankditotto]

Beutiful!! What a discovery for me:)

[maypost]

Reminds me of a young female Leonard Cohen.

Love it!

[debnfredvanz]

One more thing - she is a genius.

And she has the most unique way of pronouncing certain words.

Something needs to happen so that more folks know her work. It's the best I've found in the last 30 years or so.

[ParArdua]

@debnfredvanz

She's been travelling around the world, very busy touring the States I hear too. She is getting more well known and regarded, especially since The Foundling.

[debnfredvanz]

i love this woman.

what a phenomenal talent for putting the most complex -- and yet most ephemeral - of thoughts and emotions into words and then, miracle of miracle, setting it all to music

[gurlsingerfan]

Met Mary in Louisville KY,opening for the Cowboy Junkies two years ago. I asked her about the song, did she know how dramatic it becomes on the lines, "The front porch flags lie themselves down Like forgotten soldiars And old wedding gowns And closets unopened And graves without any marks As the night curtains lower Behind the rooftops Shadows dance across the sidewalks And ricochet off the houses like pieces of art" She just smiled, said by then she was working on her next song

[krysant50]

@gurlsingerfan txs for lyrics, i love it

Wished I'd known she was in Perth! Saw Mary around 4 years ago, as support for Willie Nelson. Magnificent songwriter. Left us all (inc guys in the band) spellbound. Good Luck to you Mary, wherever the winding river takes yer.

Greetings from a fellow Ramblin' Jack fan!

[edinburgher39]

Saw her talk yesterday at a workshop in Perth (Scotland) - she comes across as a real nice, smart lady.

[Inuit2312]

What a beautiful song.

[mayaluvsmusic]

interesting. she reminds me of buffy st. marie

[abeco77]

Produced by Joe Henry and co-written by Fred Eaglesmith, this says all. They both are my favourites and how else could a song end up if these two guys are working on it....

Perfect song !!!

[IrlDave71]

Oh Mary, come to Ireland - you would be loved here.....

[gindublin]

She was in Ireland a few years ago at the point supporting Willie Nelson She did 5 songs brill I have all her albums

[Khairabar]

she'll be here on the 26th July in Whelans!

[lidagustava]

beautiful song, like it!

[gischenchris]

Love this song. Excellent!
