  • Such power and compassion.

  • Such a powerful song. Those poor women and what they had to endure. Life is cruel.

  • Great tuning this song is played in:-

    BF#BEAE, sounds deep and resonant on a 12-string, chords are easy...

  • I'm a guy, and as much as I may play hyper-masculine testosterone charged heavy music live, I have to say that I wouldn't dare to cover this song live. I won't be able to carry through without bursting into tears.

  • Just saw the movie The Magdalene Sisters.... as sad as it was the included documentary on the DVD was just heart wrenching.... a lesson for us all to question everything and everyone including ourselves.... and to think for ourselves...

    Then you ought to appreciate the magnificent left-handed strumming by Barbara Lynn in the video of her live performance of «You'll Lose A Good Thing»! Worth checking out!

  • @thedridis

    JONI'S SONGS ARE TYPICALLY WRITTEN ABOUT TRUE LIFE EVENTS AS SEEN THROUGH HER

    INSIGHTFUL EYES.

  • This is a very intense song with an insight into what happened in the laundries/ very very enlightening

  • if you really look into it & knowing the catholic church was behind it ,, it makes you ashamed to be catholic ,, i hope all those who passed through these places find peace in their lives xx

  • I did not realize this was a song about something real until I searched for it on Youtube. The song just always moved me, but I did not really know it was about something true. Holey moley.
