Every now and then someone posts a comment on my video and I read back over the other comments. It is amazing how much this song resonates with those of us who have suffered a loss.

I'm surprised she hasn't taken this one down, too. Hey Beth! Someone is listening to your music on You Tube! Call the FBI.

[Vince1303]

It is the only live recording of the song and has Beth's approval. If you look at her website you will see it there  too.

I just booked to see Beth again. For some strange reason she is bypassing Ireland on her Autumn tour. She is playing in Belfast but I am flying to Birmingham in the UK to see her. Believe it or not it is cheaper for me to fly with Ryanair for 20 euro return including taxes than it is to drive from Dublin to Belfast. I cannot wait for the gig.

Beth , your words penetrate the chest and open the heart right out beyond loneliness and separation , into connectedness , with gratitude & love for your inspired soul work, Suzanne & thanks to you Vince , peace

[Vince1303]

Thanks Suzie, believe it or not but it is two days since the concert and I still feel the lump in my throat when I remember her singing this song. I actually got to meet her afterwards and asked her how she could ever sing such a song knowing why it was written? She said it was difficult but that she just has to let it roll off her. Her music is an inspration to me. I am glad you rnjoyed the clip. Vincent

I had never heard this until an episode of ER contained it. The episode dealth with Abby and a newborn who had died-they went to the roof of County General and had the baby baptized.

I cried and cried, then the scene transformed into Carter and Abby dealing with their common ground at the time-their addictions. At times like that I believe I can believe in a God, why some of us continue to struggle with life and a baby has to lose their chance at life.

Painful stuff.

It was raining as I drove the rental car back to the airport in Northern Kentucky after a business trip to Cincinnatti in the Spring of 1997 when this song came on the radio. At first I thought it was something new by Jennifer Warnes so I listened very closely, trying to figure out if it was her. I listened, I drove ...and I cried. My mom had passed away about a year and a half before. It was a magical, transformative, healing moment I'll always remember. Thank you, Beth.
