Mary Chapin Carpenter - Songs From Home Episode 31: I Have A Need For Solitude

[@carolwallace6242]

Noone writes, plays or sings the way you do ! No one ! Thank you for all your Songs from Home !!!

[@pootie0517]

Thank you for sharing these wonderful songs and angus

[@sharonvyse3686]

Found that I once again walk with the larger Canon camera in hand these days. Want to to say thank you for all that you have done for us Ms Carpenter. I don't think you truly know just all that you have done. You will be needing to find your solitude once you are out on the road traveling on tour. We know you will enjoy the company of dear friends and colleagues, Mr Cohen and Ms Colvin, but this time spent on your own will be such a gift to return home to see Angus and Willoughby. Stay safe on tour as you venture off in some 6 -8 wks. This covid virus is not done with us yet unfortunately. Take good care. 🇨🇦

[@helenarcarvalho]

Thank you so much for your Music and videos ... they give me such a peace of mind!!!

[@carriepowers6743]

Thank you again for blessing us with your gorgeous voice, wonderful guitar playing, precious Angus, and your incredible spirit! You are truly a blessing during these trying times.

[@maryintersimone4107]

Thank you Mary for doing this for all of us, great way to wake up on Sunday morning...❤️

[@knarf_on_a_bike]

Your photography is as beautiful as your music. Thank you, Mary.

[@charleneluedtke5751]

I love this song and I love your natural beauty. Please keep the songs coming!!!!

[@pskeck04]

How absolutely stunning Mary the lovely picture you've provided for us! As always looking forward to your next song and seeing Mr Angus and perhaps White Kitty too!

[@gelvisward]

Wonderful 👍👌

[@casssmith3887]

My church has become listening to Mary Chapin sing to us on Sunday mornings. The "sermon" is always beautiful and thought provoking.

[@pwb0511]

Yep, I can agree with your statement. I am watching the 5pm news and a group is forming to sue the entire Minneapolis PD, so I just mute them and listened to this, pure sanity!

[@robertdicarlo4490]

These are not little videos, they are HUGE to us!

[@ursulamulder110]

Indeed! They are immeasurably more than 'little videos'!! I would hit the thumbs-up to your message MANY more times if it were possible! ;)))

[@barbarabaldwin7120]

LONELY WITHOUT MUSIC!!!

[@audreyfelso993]

Dear MCC, it is good that you sang Sometimes Just The Sky because the sky is always here near to look up for help, missing Songs From Home. I will look for you 'when the light is changing, at that time of day when there's little day remaining'. All the very best! Never forget to smile. And I know by now.

[@simonnewman7444]

We all love her for her voice and her grace - but here's a nod to her sublime guitar work. Mellifluous is the only way to describe it. There's a pandemic of ego and selfishness right now but Mary provides the vaccine we all need. Thanks MCC, you're a star.

[@kaitlinmeadows6273]

Joy lives in your music and in your eyes and in your home and in your animal companions. Thank you for spreading it on the warm bread fresh from the oven, the berries picked from the blackberry bramble, and the tea steeping in the big earthen tea pot. You are a Sunday delicacy to be savored with love!

[@pamelaott1256]

Beautiful comment!! You made me hungry!! Lol.

[@xoxb2]

Thank you for another beautiful song and photograph! Btw, I loved your version of Four Strong Winds on the other channel. Hope you're enjoying a nice peaceful Sunday.

[@kellyvermace1696]

Ms. Mary, I hope you have the same peace and joy you give to the rest of us with each song. Thank you!!

[@carolinehero8419]

Hooray! Thank you for playing my favourite song of yours! You are a gem, and I wish you good health and happiness for all times. Thank you for bringing us joy in our times of solitude.

[@pamelaott1256]

Good morning Mary from WV. Sundays aren't Sundays until we see your beautiful home and hear what you have to say to us thru your songs. We have needed what you have provided all these weeks. I can honestly say my life has been blessed with you reaching out to us. If only we could reach out and touch you in the same way. Thank-you for sharing your music, your home and your furry friends.

[@texhaines9957]

Thanks

[@Book-Keeper37]

Cannot tell you enough times how much peace and joy you add to my life with each song you bring us! Thank you!! You are my inspiration!! ❤

[@daf827]

I am hopelessly smitten, Mary. Your music soothes my soul. And being a dog person, I am crazy about Angus. Solitude can be a good thing when you are blessed with such talent and generosity of spirit, not to mention a great dog and kitty, a shimmering guitar, and a beautiful home. Thank you for brightening my days.

[@wingwalker49]

I so enjoy solitude. I get lonely at times, but so enjoy solitude.

[@TheLittletrees]

Thanks so much Mary Chapin Carpenter for coming into our homes and of course Angus and White Kitty, be well ❤️

[@milevapavlovic5139]

Hi mary angus white kitty your photo are beautiful you live in a lovely place thanks for the music you have helped so much during uncertain times be blessed stay strong 😀😀😀😀💪💪💪💪💪❤❤💕💕💕💕💕

[@Tom-xg1kj]

I love screaming electric guitars! Nothing can match an acoustic guitar skillfully played highlighting the thoughtful words of a beautiful singer!

[@Yrksman]

Looking forward to your visit to my home again. Huge part of surviving the lockdown here in England. I’m in the severely at risk category. Your warmth and friendship and beautiful music has meant a lot more than I can say. Thanks from the bottom of my heart x

[@mitchmatthews6713]

You are truly a beautiful, beautiful person, Ms. Mary. Thank you for warming my heart.

[@jenniferwyatt2252]

This is my favorite song by you, Mary. The joys of solitude are numerous. The gentle peace, the feeling of being grounded in the moment and the sense of being at ease with your own self. Thanks so much for this song and others. Greetings from Sylvan Lake Michigan.

[@toniriss]

I'm missing you. I hope everything is ok in your world. The gift of your wisdom,touching lyrics and beautiful melodies still comfort me. And the treat of Angus and White Kitty always add something special to my day. I see your heart and it is genuine and beautiful.

[@wjcorrinne4052]

How are you doing, my friend? I took a couple weeks to contemplate things I’ve let slide to the side. Thinking about days past and future and that this is the Season of Hope and new growth. Keep your spirits up, smile at those you meet, give a kind word to those who hurt, kindness costs so little and returns so much. It heals our soul and let’s us feel good about all around us. Peace and blessings this Easter Season

[@tarotapy9144]

0h my gosh MARY...pure perfect words and melody.. brilliance..damn girl.. lol lurved Anguses finale😍😍🤗🤗😘😘💖💖💖

[@richardmarcotte3983]

I have been watching and listening to a lot of music of multiple types of music here on You Tube since I started working from home back in March. Your Guitar is by far the best sounding not only Guitar but best sounding instrument next of course to Yo Yo Ma's Cello in all my listening. I have a feeling others could not make it sound as great as you do. Thanks so much for giving us these gifts. I consider them my own private concert.

[@sagebutterfly2]

Such a mix of emotions... tears at the beauty and tenderness of your music and message, smiles and laughter at the joy that Angus brings. Thank you thank you. (And I love my dawn walks on the beach with my golden, Nanda - before anyone is up except for the seagulls, the crows, the heron, the eagles and my beautiful boy and me. Such peace...and solitude.) Much love! (to White Kitty, too!!)

[@lesliew3343]

Thank you so much, Mary. Another beautiful song! So grateful to you for sharing your songs and your beautiful spirit.

[@pamelaott1256]

Thank-you for starting my week with solitude!!!!

[@karlagreen6310]

Loved this song and I Love my Solitude!! Thank You Mary.

[@jokautzman2971]

Love reading all the comments- makes my heart full, my soul full, my eyes full! All the love that surrounds you makes me jump for joy! Someone mentioned, stunning! What a great descriptive word- you are stunning @marychapincarpenter Much love to you and your furry kids! 🐾🧡

[@jeffdillon9526]

So incredibly beautiful 😊and so meaningful 😊please give Angus and White Kitty a hug from me!!

[@viggytea750]

Songwriters are Scribes and Painters who illuminate our emotions. MCC, thanks 🙏 for your beautiful brushstrokes .

[@clivefelgate9802]

For some years this has been a favourite song of mine, for reasons to many to list. Thank you for the song and for continuing to lift the spirits of this old man and many others. Be safe, stay strong and be mighty😁💪👍👍👍👍💕

[@stephengsweet7411]

That Angus the Wonderdog demands his onscreen time. You, Angus and White Kitty make these lonely times bearable Mary and I thank you so much for what you provide! Again, thanks......Steve, Wasilla, AK

[@andrewmoorhouse687]

Hi Mary your videos are lovely, like a comforting arm around your shoulder. Beautiful. And Angus, well, he’s just Angus😁❤️ Until the next one ❤️

[@972939]

What gorgeous wrapping paper for tomorrow’s Blue Ridge gift of song, comfort and gratitude. MCC is the gift that keeps on giving 👍🏽🌸🌸😀💪🏽.

[@katrinalevin4064]

Thank you for this song. Even in this strange time, I have a need for solitude.

[@jeanneshannon5607]

VIRGINIA LADY HERE....STILL LOVING THESE SONGS💜💚

[@kelleytuck1584]

Sometimes there not much more I can say besides Thank You. These videos are a blessing.

[@Williecat1814]

Thank you Mary Chapin Carpenter for you wonderful lyrics that always touch my soul. Peace be with you 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

[@reneewisch6798]

Thank you MCC, this song definitely speaks to my soul.

[@nandowner5774]

As beautiful as always! Thank you Mary!

[@cornstorm666]

I fell in love with this song the first time I ever heard it on that beautiful album...I'm a loner and solitude is a precious commodity...I treasure time alone in Nature no matter what season. Thank you for doing this one..Hi to the fur babies and you stay well, safe and mighty 😑❤

[@ethnicmusiclover]

Mr Angus makes me smile!

[@classiccuisine7001]

Thank you soooo much for these songs.

[@johnpfeifer7591]

You use words to paint such beautiful images... one of the things I love about your work is the little details you include that make what you're singing about feel so real. Thank you.

[@leelossi1257]

Thank you Mary...... beautiful song......beautiful smile

[@nurturenature2282]

Soul (noun) : The spirit, heart, core, and essence of a person. Soul (verb) : To afford suitable sustenance. MaryChapin, you have and are a beautiful soul. Noun and verb. Let’s hope it’s highly contagious! Thank you so much. Love you 💕. Peace to you, Angus, and White Kitty. I am so glad you decided to include this song with #songsfromhome. I very much have a need for solitude and also love twilight.

[@audreyfelso993]

Hi and God bless you for your good soul!

[@nurturenature2282]

Thank you so much, you are so sweet. God bless you and your sweet soul. I will pray for you and your family. Peace. #staymighty

[@wjcorrinne4052]

A belated Easter greeting, a time for introspections , healing and new growth. I took a couple weeks break to explore other interests and now it is time for thought and solitude. To contemplate..... Nature..... Friends...... Family...... or just the joy of listening to good music and share thoughts with friends, you are my friend, bless you

[@laryjones]

Once again, MCC speaks directly to my heart.

[@jessicabaron7191]

Thank you for this song, so special for those of us whose song is so rarely sung. Clear, true and comforting. Your "I never was" verse... just YES. Also, some of us who need this song are anathema to others who mistake us for extraverts if we lead, and who are confused when we retreat. Right? But if connection is an act of love and passionate service, we override that love of solitude. Just because it walks like a duck... Thank you for creating and sharing your truth. I will share it often, starting now. ♥️ Wishing you continuing inspiration and peace.

[@June874yy]

Beautiful song, beautiful lyrics. You hold us up in these scary times, Mary!

[@Charl_19]

Thank you so much for again blessing us all and sharing your wisdom, kindness, gifts and peace.

[@captainkprflury3480]

Always appreciate you MCC! Thanks so much! Stay Mighty!

[@rwcats]

Thank you for another treasure to help us stay sane in this wacky world, Mary. I love the early morning and twilight. magical time... Love to Angus and White Kitty!

[@leehjones]

Thank you, as always.

[@Weber1492]

Thanks so much for sharing your spirit, soul, songs and fur babies with us! You’re a gem, Mary!!

[@julietissue8528]

I am enjoying the solitude!!

[@rjmcallister1888]

Apparently I heeded the song's theme and did not watch until Tuesday. Having spent my adult life on my own, I have much first-hand experience on the subject. I've usually found ways to amuse myself over the years, or just work more and open a door to darkness every night. But there are times when the darkness can take control. I'll get by. Always have. Stay mighty.

[@joycegilcrest9945]

I am well love... and solitude is often the key to life. much love to you and white kitty, and Angus.

[@meredithreeder3666]

Thank you so much for the ode to solitude.

[@pskeck04]

Greetings Mary from Wild Wonderfully WV! I truly appreciate all the lovely songs you've been singing to us all these weeks. This really makes my Sunday. Angus is so playful and so darn handsome! Stay Strong and Mighty Mary!

[@sandramorris407]

I am learning to be ok in solitude and with being at home. Thanks for the peace and calm that came with this song.

[@johnwobma6532]

At times "solitude" can be grand!

[@susiewheeler8197]

A true professional no distractions

[@ursulamulder110]

Awesome! I really appreciate your checking in on me, on us, all around the world! Thank you. Stay WELL! Waving to you across the Atlantic from cold Cape Town.

[@audreyfelso993]

Dear Mary and Dear All! Peace Hope Peace! Grateful thank you Mary with greatest respect for your music, for what you are doing and everything! Please 'Stay Mighty' Everyone! Go Angus and White Kitty:)Collars up when we can:)🌺

[@wjcorrinne4052]

After a break for Easter I’m back to listening to good music and contemplating days past and those to come. But more importantly to share thoughts with friends on life’s journey. You are my friend and I bless you and thank you for sharing.

[@aldocomelli]

Wooow!!! I am enchanted when I see your beautiful pictures. The views are beautiful, with the right light. It will be another Sunday in your company together with friends from all corners of the world. Thank you so much! 🎸

[@joannekozaroff7500]

I’m always amazed the amount of sounds that you can produce out of your old 6 string

[@cEcJr17]

Thanks for the music, Mary & Angus. Enjoy the rest of your Sunday xo

[@essieswartz2783]

I can't begin to tell you how soothing and deeply wonderful these #songsfromhome gifts are for me. Thank you MCC. Thank you.

[@giancarlozulian6976]

Tutti abbiamo bisogno di un momento in cui fermarsi e rileggerci dentro per capire a che punto siamo della vita. Ma poi è dolce farci ritrovare da chi si ama e ci ama... Bellissimo brano. Grazie ancora Mary per farci compagnia in modo così familiare. Un saluto anche al cane, fedele amico, accompagnatore e percussionista...

[@terryg.8187]

I love the colors of this photograph. I hope you publish a book of your photos some day.

[@Me2Lancer]

Thank you Mary for sharing your song on solitude. Some of our most creative moments come at times we choose these special times; walks in the park, gazing on a dark night at the Milky Way, writing about precious times. I just found and followed your channel. Wishing you the very best!

[@jokautzman2971]

A song that I will listen to, over & over! #loveyoursmileyoureaseandyourheart
