What a (genuinely😊) fascinating and rewarding interview. This channel is making me footy smarter. Keep it up Team!🎉

The Green World should have sold a million copies and made Dar a household name.

Your music brings me constant joy! can't wait to see you again. 3x so far! This song IS therapy 🙌

The stories that nobody hears

My favorite parts of this wonderful song are what I take to be little therapy in-jokes -- the 50-minute hour, "try the other parent," "what -- you think I'm angry? does that mean you think I'm angry?!" I can't hear any of these without smiling

This song is perfect for me today!

T9wnship 6th grade... I don't remember if you had written this, sister-aunt cousin Queen. But your songs 🎵 have been in my pocket for my entire life. You have mentored me through many dark times & bright 🌞 ones and LIGHT, respect 🙏 appreciation and care to you ❤️ & all my relations. Mitakuye Oasin. Mnohaya Lita. ¡Abundancia! May the blessings 🙌 ✨️ 🙏 BE.

It's all right🙏💗 Come to Washington State Dar.

She's humble ...it had to take some kind of mystic science to create this wonderful song! 😋👍

Here from the book The Body Keeps the Score ❤

Nothings alright. But love your music!!!

My own take is that it's doubt in dogma,, but true believing in humanistic thought.

I have always loved this song. Never been to therapy but it's a beautiful song about feelings.

Just discovered this, instantly likeable.

Good voice.. Nice song..

I first learned of her when I bought a book by her called the Tofu Tollbooth in the 90's. Listened to a few songs on Mortal City and didn't get into her at that point. What changed my mind was the song "After All" on the Green World...just, wow....

She's wonderful. I am just finding her music now. Public TV used that Joan Baez album, Ring Them Bells, as a reward to donors, and that's how I heard of her, from You're Aging Well.

Hey Dar (if you ever read these comments) - Google Lyrics seems to think Elvis Costello wrote your Great Unknown song (he did write another song by that name). Might want to have them fix it.

It took till 1997 for someone to write a song about therapy, but Dar sure nailed it! That said, I think I prefer the live videos of her singing it to this music video. It feels a bit overacted? Anyway, fabulous song.

i hear harassment and stalking

I know change is a bad thing, Breaks me down into a sorry sad thing, Not some iridescent grateful butterfly I'll resist with defiance Not the power of a mystic silence I will fight the dizzy spiral of goodbye . And it's alright, it's alright, it's alright It's alright, it's alright, it's alright . Please don't say you don't love me Never dangle any sword above me With the kind of change that severs me in two Give me amber rising glasses Can you slow it down like molasses As I salvage my old self away from you . And it's alright, it's alright, it's alright It's alright, it's alright, it's alright It's alright, it's alright, it's alright . Because I have seen insane things All those grand historic paintings Morning light on polished swords and burnished pride Ancient smiles encased in whalebone Spines of steel from head to tailbone Cannons poised to blast the turning of the tide . It's a sad and a strange thing But it's time and I am changing Into something good or bad, well that's your guess I'm my own sovereign nation Dedicated to a transformation Marching on with this target on my chest . Oh yes, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright It's alright, it's alright, it's alright [Repeat: x5]

I don't go to therapy to find out if I'm a freak I go and I find the one and only answer every week And it's just me and all the memories to follow Down any course that fits within a fifty minute hour And we fathom all the mysteries, explicit and inherent When I hit a rut, she says to try the other parent And she's so kind, I think she wants to tell me something, But she knows that its much better if I get it for myself And she says . What do you hear in these sounds? What do you hear in these sounds? . I say I hear a doubt, with the voice of true believing And the promises to stay, and the footsteps that are leaving And she says "Oh, " I say, "What?" she says, "Exactly, " I say, "What, you think I'm angry Does that mean you think I'm angry?" She says "Look, you come here every week With jigsaw pieces of your past Its all on little soundbites and voices out of photographs And that's all yours, that's the guide, that's the map So tell me, where does the arrow point to? Who invented roses?" And . What do you hear in these sounds? What do you hear in these sounds? . And when I talk about therapy, I know what people think That it only makes you selfish and in love with your shrink But oh how I loved everybody else When I finally got to talk so much about myself . And I wake up and I ask myself what state I'm in And I say well I'm lucky, 'cause I am like East Berlin I had this wall and what I knew of the free world Was that I could see their fireworks And I could hear their radio And I thought that if we met, I would only start confessing And they'd know that I was scared They'd would know that I was guessing But the wall came down and there they stood before me With their stumbling and their mumbling And their calling out just like me, and . The stories that nobody hears, and I collect these sounds in my ears, and That's what I hear in these sounds, and That's what I hear in these, That's what I hear in these sounds. . .

Tim Dillon mentioned you. I am glad :)

Is that Jason Patrick from Entourage?

Wait. Dar did videos?!?!? Why did no one tell me?

Damn I just freaking love this song

Amazing song... brings me back.

🖤

Great song. Love the video too. Thank you

Damn, I love this song! I am the other! I will not be afraid!

Aw man.........I love her!!!!

I remember watching this video on low quality internet in 1998!!!

If there were any justice in this world, this video would have millions and millions of views. Lord knows there are many millions of people out there who would benefit tremendously from the kind of conversations this song describes.

Gosh I love you, Dar

I don’t know if you read these but dang this song was so important to me as a chick in my 20’s. I think back to how I acquired my early feminist understandings and this song & many of your songs actually really helped me form a healthy identity as a mostly hetero cis woman. So thank you for that and for your contributions to early 2000’s culture. An anthem to allieship ♥️

Git u sum Dar.

Very powerful...thanks for sharing. :o)

I want to can the quality of your voice.

She's so smart.

From the Newport Folk Festival......zuludelta45.net/2014/01/29/a-man-walks-into-a-tent/

Wow, this was gloriously 1990's.

love your voice!

Awwwww, an American Kate Bush Brill !

Brilliant.

This is the song that made me think differently about mental health. Thanks Dar.

They dont make them like this anymore. You should just have a simple video of you recording. No need for all the nonsense. Its not you and you know it:)

Can't get this in the UK been looking for it for ages on you tube, got a VPN now connected to the USA and bang here is the music video, damn censorship.

I once had a friend who dug dirty feet.
