First found this video 10 years ago. I’ve kept it in my playlist here, but I hardly ever look into my playlists. So when I do, I get a pleasant reminder that this song, especially this rendition of it, exists. I’ve listened to this countless times, and it makes me feel so incredibly calm. It allows me to feel a sadness and maybe even a little bit bitter at the world while also feeling like someone’s allowing me to feel those feelings in the least judgmental and most calming way possible. Hard to convey. I’m just very glad that this is still here for me to listen to. Thank you so incredibly much.

This is honestly one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever heard. Both my parents died of cancer by the time I was 21 and it’s really hard to listen to very sad music that I love. But with your music it’s so much more bearable because it’s just so incredibly fresh and magical and with a voice so beautiful even the angels envy, it becomes a soothing and healing experience for me. This is sort of a first-time experience for me with music. It’s almost meditative. Thank you for this amazing beauty. 🎼

Goldenrod and the 4H stone The things I brought you When I found out you had cancer of the bone Your father cried on the telephone And he drove his car into the navy yard Just to prove that he was sorry In the morning, through the window shade When the light pressed up against your shoulder blade I could see what you were reading All the glory that the Lord has made And the complications you could do without When I kissed you on the mouth Tuesday night at the Bible study We lift our hands and pray over your body But nothing ever happens I remember at Michael's house In the living room when you kissed my neck And I almost touched your blouse In the morning at the top of the stairs When your father found out what we did that night And you told me you were scared All the glory when you ran outside With your shirt tucked in and your shoes untied And you told me not to follow you Sunday night when I cleaned the house I find the card where you wrote it out With the pictures of you mother On the floor at the great divide With my shirt tucked in and my shoes untied I am crying in the bathroom In the morning when you finally go And the nurse runs in with her head hung low And the cardinal hits the window In the morning in the winter shade On the 1st of March on the holiday I thought I saw you breathing All the glory that the Lord has made And the complications when I see His face In the morning in the window All the glory when he took our place But he took my shoulders and he shook my face And he takes and he takes and he takes

My Nana played the harp. She was a Polish immigrant who had to leave everything behind when she was a young girl when her family fled Poland during WW2. She picked up the harp because she said the sound gave her hope and helped her feel closer to Jehovah. She passed away years ago, but every time I hear the harp I'm reminded of the hours I'd spend listening to her play. Those memories are precious to me, thank you for your beautiful playing.

I really hope you do very very well and am very happy that "the internet buzz" has picked up someone as talented and fantastic as you.
