grew up with her musik. Loved her voice. Moves me and makes me happy and close to my soul

One of the most beautiful, haunting love songs ever written. It became one of my most requested songs when I did concert work during the late 60's and 70's, and has been etched into my heart forever. Buffy Sainte Marie? Elegant, brilliant and a gentle but powerful voice of conscience for Native Americans and all who cherish

human dignity. Her songs are timeless.

the Nazis anthem sounds heartfelt to. They only killed six million not 56 million. if you listen, even if you don't understand you will hear how heartfelt it is. It would be good for you to start with literature. Reading improves the mind.

@uncatila I'm sorry but if you start analysing songs for their perceived ethical or moral content you're going to be very busy. If you live long enough to get through all of the songs then you could start on literature. You'll find that Buffy St. Marie writes from the heart and yet retains a strong ethical stance. In the meantime enjoy her material, there's a lot of depth there if you look

@computerrage I am not surprised that you don't get it. those liaisons she is celebrating resulted in 56 million abortions. and 40% of children being born fatherless. What was it you said about Sinatra not being fragile enough? He at least tried to celebrate the union with a sacrament. She kills romance

[computerrage]

@uncatila I don't quite follow your logic as it's about a liaison with someone who is 'attached'. Buffy is still performing and is still an activist

[uncatila]

@computerrage I'm talking about his songs. god knows what her life looked like. in any case this song is repellent to any person that morns the fact that 40% of all children born in America come from unwed mothers. at least Sinatra tried to wed.

[computerrage]

@uncatila He only represented the values of permanence and loyalty, unfortunately he didn't live them ...hence four marriages, numerous affairs and liaisons with prostitutes as well as his "18 karat manic depression".He didn't serve in the military in WW2 due partly to being "neurotic" and "not acceptable material from a psychiatric standpoint" He also wrote to Clyde Tolson of the FBI offering his services as an informer

[uncatila]

@computerrage Sinatra represented the masculine values of permanence and loyalty not ephemeral values of celebrated by feminism and the free love generation.

[uncatila]

anthem of free love

I think Sinatra at the end could have pulled it off when age put the "fragility" in his voice that it lacked in his youth when it was filled with bravado.

[computerrage]

@CBSEye I don't think Sinatra had the 'fragility' to do justice to it
