Mary Chapin Carpenter :: Edge Of The World

[@trilogychannel]

Oh that voice! MCC draws up something deep from inside. So human, so tender, so strong. Hurtin' never felt this good! And oh my, that piano player! Doesn't he bring something special to the table?

[@alexanderbellanova2861]

Listening to MCC is the best use of electricity I have found in my life so far ! ( well , making coffee is close ! )

[@kirklethbridge4477]

how beautiful is that. my god. great intro too and a focus on the music as well as the beautiful vocals, lyrics. wish i could have played along with that in the studio....must have been magical

[@JamesHarris-hl2bm]

Mary is about as good as they get. Such a wonderful songwriter and interpreter of songs. Such smart and beautiful lyrics. Too bad everything's so dumbed down today. I guess this is why this kind of thinking persons song doesn't get the traction it deserves.

[@crystalhopkins1110]

This song is so beautiful, it stops you dead in your tracks; takes your breath away. It would have been a welcomed addition to Ashes and Roses, but it's a BEAUTIFUL album without it. Very intimate, moving and powerful. I LOVE this CD!

[@reginalee4461]

Which cd is this song on.? I've been trying to get it

[@cflott1]

@@reginalee4461 I believe it is a bonus track on the vinyl record

[@cryspay]

Gorgeous....MCC is simply the best singer/songwriter in the world.

[@philedwards3356]

Not wrong there.

Phil Edwards you just said it

[@AlanJan_UK_49]

New track to me but as beautiful as ever. I love musicians and these here are top notch. The delicate touch of the piano player is so lovely.

[@bombs7]

One of the best of MCC's songs.

Mary chapin carpenter you are amazing artist and wonderful Sanger. I love hearing you sing. You have a beautiful voice. God bless you sister.

This woman is so beautiful , I have no words !

This is the most amazing song

What an immensely gifted artist. Sometimes she’ll take your breath away.

Beautiful!!🌅 🌄 🇨🇦 🍁

[@terrymcquade4772]

I've her voice since I first heard her on the radio traveling from NY to South Carolina in 1984. Her voice is perfect for the perfect songs she writes and she is definitely underrated.

[@n.r.2258]

Perfect... just perfect.

[@reginalee4461]

This one of the sweetest things in the world!

[@melodyintime]

Beautiful song. Hits close to home as many of her songs do.

[@MrPaco0112]

I expect we will will hear so many more songs like this that will take her and us to new levels of awareness - Looking forward always, to whatever she next brings to the table - Thank You , MCC

[@sonyamccann2402]

Never heard this b4..its 💘 😻 💜 lovely

[@sharonvyse3686]

Have always found this song one of the most touching reflections. This one and " Family Hands".

[@davidlendzyk8684]

Beautiful

[@susiepittman601]

She's getting better, if that's possible.

[@Massivo07]

Wonderful. It´s a pity this song´s not included in the Age of Miracles. What a joy to hear a new song from MCC. It made my day! Thank you so much.

[@bombs7]

MCC remains a favorite truly gifted singer-songwriter ! She is still amazing to me.

[@8zzimmer]

simply the best song

[@paulhbrown]

When you're standing at the edge of the world Every move is carefully planned All it takes is one step that's unsure To find your solid ground has turned to sand And I remember trying not to breathe Not to speak, or make the slightest sound As if I could enjoin this life to freeze Perhaps then I could make it turn around Going back to who we used to be When there was no such thing as retreat It was if my eyes had found new ways to see And as if my heart had learned new ways to beat I'd never felt that way before or since But what I'd give to have it back again When time can't be persuaded or convinced Hope is just a garden that we tend So now I'm standing at the edge of the world Trying to decide which way to go Am I brave if I suddenly step forward Or a coward if I hear myself say no I guess it's never been up to me Though fate has fooled me time and time before Like thinking I could really watch you leave Without the need to run and bar the door

[@DJReyes]

Perfection!

[@amyhaselgren7886]

So beautiful!!!😊🌻

[@dianeellis-mcroberts9376]

great singer, writer, and reinterpreter of others' music.

[@debvanz]

I have listened and listened to this. I found it while my life's love was battling his cancer. It was so exactly what I felt and still feel since he left me. How can I get it? Is it going to be on the next CD? I saw her in concert during that time also - unforgettable experience. She is just so REAL.

[@richardjohnson3463]

I love this....

[@charlespritchett5430]

I JUST LOVE HER

[@musikgirl1]

Oh my......

[@MrPaco0112]

a desperate revelation for us all!

[@GrandWagJeep]

@debnfredvanz It's on The Age of Miracles in a special edition from Amazon. Unfortunately, it's not this version. I bought the album mostly for this song, and the album version sounds artificial and synthetic. I've been trying to find a way to buy this exact song, but I haven't found a way yet.

[@ursulamulder110]

Hey. I feel the same, but I just keep going to youtube...and listen to it/experience it, more times than I care to mention. MCC is simply a GREAT, if not the BEST, poetic song writer since the 1980s.

[@reginalee4461]

Please someone tell me how I can get this on record or cd

@Regina Lee No idea...I just keep coming back to youtube. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

@Regina Lee Hey. REALLY miss MCC's Songs From Home, where I used to see your comments, too. It is a hard 'weaning' process, however much I accept that one ought not be completely dependent on a favourite story-song-teller... Be well, and 'stay mighty'!!

[@reginalee4461]

[@ursulamulder110]

@Regina Lee Yeah, I continue to dream about attending a concert 'down the road' - will start saving up immediately - attending a concert in the UK would be easier than travelling to the USA...sigh! Take care. 'Stay mighty'! 😷😷😷

[@laureanomartinez3447]

could I know who is the pianist?

[@ursulamulder110]

Hi - a year later... I think the pianist is Matt Rollings.

[@laureanomartinez3447]

Ursula Mulder I knew that a year ago. But THANKS A LOT, you are very kind🤓

[@hi-countrymedia3641]

They should have given her a better vocal microphone. I recorded a lot of singers since 1987, they could have done better, nice song though.
