Mary Chapin Carpenter | Mrs. Hemingway (Studio Performance)

[@CoreaKixx420]

I don't think there is a songwriter on the planet as good as Mary. She is the most introspectively deep artist in the business. Almost every song she sings strikes a deep and spiritual chord. Don't know how she can maintain such a high level of creativity with each and every album for well over 30 years now. Much love, from Tim Ontario, Canada!!

This recording of the song is so incredible because of the pianist - he adds so much expression to the song She is lucky to have this guy

[@laureanomartinez3447]

Could I know who is the pianist?

[@bene9472]

@@laureanomartinez3447 His name is Matt Rollings - he's played with anyone who's anyone as well as being the producer on several of MCC's albums. I met him about 4 years ago after a concert in Manchester - he's a thoroughly nice bloke and an absolute legend.

[@laureanomartinez3447]

Ben E I appreciate your kindness. Thanks a lot for your info 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@athleticguy15]

@@pete3816 Matt Rollings is a Nashville legend, but each to his own. Before you definitively make that judgement, try listening to more of his work.

Now that's real music by real musicians 🎶🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿❤️❤️

[@griffkeeper1887]

I could listen to her music all day. She's so incredibly talented and prolific.

[@chantalhenderson6994]

I do. I’m slowly getting all her albums and I play it through my blue tooth speaker.

[@alastairclunie7232]

I have been listening all day amazing

[@bethannluckett9130]

She is a true musical genius. Storytelling through her beautiful lyrics. And that voice!!

[@roncampbell9783]

MCC and her bandmates nailed it on this achingly beautiful song, and you nailed it with your spot-on comment, Beth Ann.

[@toliv4]

Beautiful voice ... My all time favorite female performer and story teller

[@giffeym1]

I have always felt the same way. I believe she writes directly to those of us who grew up in the 60's and the changes we have seen in the world.

[@puboffender54]

I wrote here three years ago and I only have a stronger feeling for this woman and her music now than I did then. She is a goddess and my fantasy. Oh that I should ever be in her company.

[@sharonvyse3686]

So true that this song is one of the deepest and sadest songs written by MCC back in the day. But there is a peace to the melody as all that we know in the end leaves us or we leave it. 🇨🇦

[@sharonvyse3686]

Beautifully sung!!!

[@candi770]

This song is about Hadley, Earnest Hemingway's 1st wife. He wrote his memoir of their life in Paris, A Moveable Feast. In, The Paris Wife, Paula McClain, wrote a moving novel in Hadley's perspective of a relationship that was meant to be and a young writer who threw it all away. Hemingway didn't see his memoir completed but suicided from what most would believe regret! This song brings Hadley's feelings to life. But on a good note, she did find love again! :-)

[@calamusical]

This song slays me every time . . . .

[@joepollard3228]

A voice and a song that brings tears to my eyes. Sheer beauty.

[@chantalhenderson6994]

I love this song . Mary is such a story teller! I can so imagine a couple in the 1940s.

[@anneoboyle8447]

Divine piano! 🙏 🎹🎶🎼💘🍀

[@puboffender54]

I am in love with this song and I have been in love with this woman for 20+ years. She is the writer of absolutely the best music in that time, bar none. If I could meet her for 10 minutes, I would need to gather myself for the first 5, then MAYBE I could have a marginally intelligent conversation with her for the second 5.

[@diannes.1275]

Beautiful! ❤

[@kennychaffin4578]

What a wonderful Song! Mary is Amazing!

[@radiance.of.attention7334]

Wow. Thank you to everyone who made this video possible. What a Gift. In every sense of the word.

[@rschadjr]

Just pure beauty. Thanks MCC

[@Nightcase]

So beautifully written and sung with such deep emotion. I love this song!!!!

[@PianoPlayer58]

Stunningly beautiful.

[@barbarabaldwin7120]

Great storytelling...voice perfect, as always

[@kilomike57]

I'm mid-50's Carribean male and I dicovered MCC in the late 1980's. Her talent and music are enduring and she speaks to some part of everyone's life. She and Jackson Browne have been a crucial part of my life's soundtrack. Thank you Mary!

[@Nette3137]

Amazing, haunting and tearfully beautiful.

[@lesremmington-allum6384]

Beautiful keyboard / piano, from Matt Rollings.

[@rathlindri]

In awe, as always....beautiful

[@hooliamc2]

We are about the same age. Give or take a few months. MCC is Feb. 1958/ I'm Sept. 1958. Everything she sings about is like a page taken from my life! She always says/ sings what is in my heart- Are you reading my journal?!!

[@tinylittlegirl]

I have Mary Chapin Carpenter alongside Eva Sullivan as my favorite female singers. They are singers that paint pictures in your mind that you can feel. Gentle people are few anymore and I gravitate to them.

[@lateforthesky2]

Well said.

This song is about Satan worship, anyone that likes it worships Satan.

[@aseventh]

This song is written as though it were being sung by Ernest Hemingway's first wife, Hadley Richardson, who is the subject of my all-time favorite novel, "The Paris Wife," by Paula McLain. This song beautifully captures the essence of Hadley's story. We have tickets to see MCC in August. I hope she sings this song.

[@michaelferry2733]

Lovely heart wrenching song. Thank you for sharing. Peace

[@barbarabaldwin7120]

The book about Hemingway's first wife: THE PARIS WIFE is heartbreaking , and memorable as hell. He dumps her, remarries...Lives move on. Before he dies( suicide) :KNEW "I always loved you, all my life." The writing was also Ego. He lost his one true love. SAD. I still loved the scenes, the bizarre life, HER love....... thrown away.....

[@Ferrychick1]

Mary Chapin Carpenter should a musical out of this!

[@javiermartinezherranz6742]

Thanks for your music, Mary !!! Preciosa melodía, elegante y tu VOZ profunda, cálida..... excepcional..................WHEN WILL YOU COME TO PLAY IN MADRID SPAIN ???

Kerith McCoy, that makes two of us. Two properly seasoned, male fans of Ms Carpenter. Cheers.

Beautifully songs and wonderfully singing and best wishes 2021 be strong in those difficult times. Hope for the 20th of January with a wonderful women as vice presidente.

[@think4tomorrow79]

Anyone remembers the move; Gellhorn starring Nicole Kidman? It was the story of Martha Gellhorn, her marriage to Ernest Hemingway and it was an amazing TRUE stoey about HER. My former employer always regaled me with stories of when he was a German Interpreter in the Army and how he and Gellhorn were some of the first to liberate Dachau. (He was ALWAYS respectful of her and definitely in awe) I THINK this song had SOMETHING to do with the movie.

[@paganmaestro]

Dear Mary. Something has deepened in your songs. Perhaps a wound transformed? Or the hand of death touched your back and said "To the real work now"? A wisdom, a glowing prime. As though you were the river before, following yourself, and now? Here comes the sea...

[@pubmgr]

Also see "The Paris Wife" for a great fictionalized treatment of Hadley and Hemingway in Paris.

[@bartwrench]

@phuongan1012 I'm reading that book right now and it's really good. This song is a perfect backdrop while I read Hadley's story.

[@Mjollnir50]

I just couldn't bear to be that close to her. I'd fall to my knees and weep all over her feet. But otherwise, I couldn't agree more.

It's unfortunate, but religious fanaticism seems to haunt us always.

Tedious tosh but the piano sounds great.
