  • For a tomboy like myself - a tree climber, fisherman, horse rider, explorer - dirty dusty and totally content to be my boy self this song so poignant touches me with longing for that freedom - those places I once was free enough to live. I think I cried the first time I heard this with recognition that I was not the only one. Let's hear it for all the girls' inner boys and all the boys' inner girls.

  • wow, brilliant and lovely

see all

  • another one who cried the 1st time and many others when I heard this. As a person who identifies as trans, this song could be about that part of sex/gender too.

  • This is a fantastic video !!! Her beautiful vocal spreads softly and her DADGAD tuning guitar sounds very well.. Nice recording, I appreciate for posting. Dar is super, I love her.

  • I too cried when I heard this song and still cry when I hear it, because you see I AM a boy, and the last verse is me. I am the guy in our profile picture. I first her Ms. Williams perform this live and I thought I woudl lose it right in the concert. I know this song speaks to all the ladies out there, but if you listen closely, it hits us men too. Contrary to popular guy culture...we have feelings too, and guys should find theirs!

  • wow ... beautiful and inspiring

  • Wow. You guys still have cart machines? Cool!

  • I absolutely love this song. I've been so inspired by Dar ever since I first saw her in concert when I was 8

  • This song make me wanna cry...

  • She's captured it all in this song!

  • Great song, great artist. Only 8,737 views. There are "artists" that get more than a million views! World is full of idiots.
