Eva Cassidy - I Wandered by a Brookside

[@jgmagoo1]

It is an absolute miracle that we have so many wonderful songs by Eva Cassidy available to us considering that she died 16 years ago almost virtualy unknown!!! I had vaguely heard of her name, but only recently discovered her here on KZbin. I have since purchased five of her albums. What an incredible talent!!!

This song and this blessed singer never fail to bring tears to my eyes. Grandma

[@mrskamran]

I didn't realize she had passed until reading these comments. This beautiful songbird will forever live on through her music and the hearts that love her. Thank you for sharing.

[@kathyholli50]

Eva even hums beautifully! Absolutely nothing she couldn't sing.

[@rlh125]

Beautiful song. Beautiful voice.

[@Scorpio58]

Eva Cassidy's voice is so awesome... Just love the way she brings the songs to life with her beautiful voice ♥

[@tubscrew]

In The Valley of The Nightingales, by peaceful waters there, That sylvan voice of honeyed cream still dances in the air, Gifted by the shooting star with heart and mind so pure, The softly-spoken blue chanteuse too fragile to endure.

[@Edella]

If I had to pick one Eva Cassidy tune, this might be it. Indescribably beautiful

[@tossedpenny]

I have yet to find Eva's match or anyone that comes close for that matter. I've never heard another singer that had such command and control of their voice. You know instantly that this is the real deal and something special.

[@stephenwren3958]

My feelings exactly! The greatest singer I've ever heard!

[@26sherrybaby]

Just beautiful!!!! THANK YOU for blessing me this morning!

[@funkyfox63]

My peace in an insane World, Eva Cassidy

[@saltrockshakers4205]

Eva perfects this Scot/Irish sounding tune with her quick, pinpoint, 3, 4 & 5 note vocal inflections! Without a doubt, her vocal abilities are absolutely amazing and second to none!!!

[@TrainzmanUK]

This tune was written by my Mum and she was from Oxford ❤

[@saltrockshakers4205]

@@TrainzmanUK Your Mum wrote a beautiful melody that fits the lyrics perfectly!!! And hey, my song description was in close proximity to where she was influenced by the nearby sounds. Thanks for letting me know!

[@lorrainelemon6679]

So lovely.

[@susiefromomaha]

I love "Wonderful World" and "Fields of Gold" but THIS ONE i think is now my favorite of hers. What a sublime video and perfectly stunning pictures/paintings! Thank you!

[@GrannySea]

@pberryuk Hiya Pete you were very lucky to have such an inspirational mother....and your father was a star, we knew them both back in Kirtlington when we worked in the Dashwood....I have your mother's recording of this on a cassette from a long time ago,

love Van Gogh,gret video 5***** love is all trevor sizzle

[@saltrockshakers4205]

A well thought-out, inspirational, and beautifully timed video interpretation to match Eva's matchless voice makes for an audio-visual masterpiece.

[@LinedanceOpiAndy]

nice clip and song

[@mromneyobama]

I only have 1 minute to spare on youtube and I ended up listening to the entire 4:10.

The beauty of sorrow...

[@MichaelSimmons.]

Very well said. Sometimes, we need to follow the path of sorrow, to get back to the land of happiness.

[@MyGrey07]

[@ThomasBowen]

@pberryuk AWESOME!! As I said before, these words speak to me. You are one lucky guy to have a mom who could write such lyrics =)

[@ThomasBowen]

So wishing I could obtain the later part of the lyrics in this song. Who's touch did she feel on her shoulder? This song reaches my heart.

[@vicandmaes]

Great Spade.

The Wiltshire Council reveals there is a third verse which lends the full sense: Song Lyrics Verse 1 I wandered by a brookside, I wandered by a mill, I could not hear the water, for the murmuring wheel was still; Nor the hum of any grasshopper, nor the chirp of any bird, For the beating of my own heart, was the only sound I heard. Verse 2 I sat beneath the elm tree, and watched its long, long shade, And as it grew still longer, I did not feel afraid; I listened for a footfall, I listened for a word, But the beating of my own heart, was the only sound I heard. Verse 3 There was silent tears fast flowing, when someone stood behind, With his hand upon my shoulder, I knew the touch was kind; He drew me near and nearer, we neither spoke one word, But the beating of our own two hearts, was the only sound I heard.

[@MyGrey07]

It's a wonder...

I might point out that the tune was created by my mother Barbara Berry (not Barry) and she did not write the lyrics. Worldwide Copyright exists on the tune. Please credit Barbara in all performances and recordings.

[@apdictor]

Your mother is a talented lady. Has she written any other songs or poetry?

[@jaikumarvenkatchari3838]

That could've been a typo,so don't get your knickers in knot. Humph.

[@casalsfan]

Is this from the Somewhere CD?
