I'm not afraid of aging anymore if this is what it's gonna be like. Thank you, kind, kind woman. I struggle with that.

[@myfirstnamemylastname2994]

Yes I've got arthritis in my hands and I'm trying to learn guitar in my mid-60s. I often feel sorry for myself because my fingers are stiff and sore and here she is. Clearly gifted and playing for a long time but our bodies betray us and usually I would think most people struggle a little bit because aging makes everything our body does harder. But you wouldn't know what listening to her. Like others I feel comforted about getting older. Getting older is totally unfair and it's hell but it's the universal disease and things like this take my mind off of that frequent daily angst. She is still herself and she looks pretty damn good too. Thank you for posting this video I wish we were Neighbors.

I'm only 23 years old, and I feel like I've been bled dry. My best friend took his own life back in 2020. We used to play guitar together, share songs, etc. I still play guitar, I play to keep my spirits up, sometimes I feel like I play just so he can hear me up in heaven. I'm still trying to find my way in life without him, it's been hard, but I thank my lucky stars that I even got the chance to be his friend and share a song with him. Even though my best friend is gone, I'm beginning to realize that life is beautiful again. For the longest time, I've been wanting a change in my life, whether it was major or minor; I didn't mind. But, for now I'm fine, there's a beauty in the dull and mundane. I think for the first time, in a long time, I'm excited to see what the future holds for me.

Hello beautiful Melinda... I love this song of yours, as I love your other songs. And I always look forward to your words of love and wisdom in your musical videos. I discovered your KZbin videos very recently, like about a month ago, and I'm so happy I found you. There are no earthly words to describe how much you have brought to my life since I found you online. I thank God for that. When I was 22 (I'm 67 now), my beloved brother tragically took his life due to chronic depression. He was only 26. I was the one who found him after he shot himself, and I've never been the same since. My brother was a warm, funny, brilliant person. He was a self-taught phenomenal guitarist, songwriter and singer. He loved nature and hiking and backpacking in the mountains. I see and feel him in a lot of your songs. I love you, Melinda. You are a beloved gift from God to all who have discovered you, online or otherwise. Much Love, Audrey from Southern California ❤

Hi from New Zealand. This year I turned 70, decided it was time to reinvent myself . I then came across this video, a coincidence , I think not. I love this song, and I play it over and over My husband has dementia so part of me is free, part of me is in chains Just love your music, your musical aptitude Sending you much love ❤❤ J

[@juliaconnell]

kia ora sis - kia kaha - dementia is rough, tough, brutal my dad was diagnosed when I was 19 (in 1990) - & passed in 1998. arohanui, J

Bless you, I wish you comfort and peace. ~Abbie ❤🇺🇸

[@richardreedy8906]

Kia ora Julia. Thx for your reply. Its a case of taking one day at a time We are doing ok ❤

[@richardreedy8906]

Thankyou ❤

[@Kolmaryn]

I don't know if you have heard of this, but recently many scientists studying dementia have discovered that music often helps alleviate the dementia fog in people. If you play music that they listened to and loved when they were younger, they become lucid and can communicate a lot better than before. Hope this helps.

[@observer7418]

I love these old hippie ladies. They're the best people I've met. I wonder what she was like in 72'

[@nadinehogg6373]

Beautiful mountain Beautiful guitar playing Beautiful lyrics Beautiful lady Love you too ❤️ thanks you, I really appreciate it!!!!

[@cheryls7118]

Thank you. We love you too. God bless!❤

[@geralddietz4577]

You are a gift from God. You speak with the wisdom of the ages and you make that 12 string sing. Thank you.

[@MelissaR784]

With arthritis no less. 12 strings aren't easy to play.

[@MG210]

Thank you! What a sweet, uplifting break in the news about the Trump trial, the war in Gaza, and so much else that's disturbing. Your guitar, voice, and words are true and kind, very clear. I'm 70, and much about my life is uncertain. You reminded me that there still is love, joy, and beauty in people. Bless you. ❤

[@bloodtruck3554]

Its not meant to be a break, but a lesson to carry along with the rest of it.

[@shanesmith1891]

I still keep coming back to this.💚💯 It’s defiantly reminding me

I'm 25 girl and I dream about the ideals you talking about will be saved by my generation. thank you, dear

[@snowymountainmama]

Beautiful! The music, the mountains, your energy, your wisdom…all of it! ✨

[@lwoodstock1]

Beautiful. I like songs with a meaningful message. Since retirement, my husband and I moved back near our hometown. We downsized to a century-old cottage, and I'm very much a part of a music community. I play a tenor ukulele, and sing mostly folk and country songs. My musician friends and I play in the community, at street fairs, rest homes, and weddings...and it's a wonderful surprise and "reinvention."

The only hero you’ll find is a common man Or the one living in your mind. After it’s all said and done It’s you you’re trying to find. Incredible lyrics and wisdom. Thank you from this gen z

[@aidenbenjamin718]

Beautiful view, beautiful guitar, beautiful jacket, beautiful smile, beautiful jewelry, beautiful voice, beautiful words, and a beautiful song. I’m 19 and feel as though I just fell in love for the first time again, love makes no sense! Thank you for having such a wonderful soul!

I am almost 74 years old and I will start learning to play piano. Thank you! I love too. 

[@shawnleprechaun482]

When I start trifling over silly stuff, I remind myself there's a beautiful lady on a mountain somewhere singing a song. And this helps me a lot 💚

It’s kinda funny you just popped up on my Home Page❣️And OMG WHAT A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN YOU ARE❣️I needed to hear this today and this song 🎶 is so beautiful 😍 at 3:30 you gave me the chills❣️You have a beautiful voice and words of wisdom to share and I love you too, just the way you are❣️🫶🏻☀️ Much love Ms.Coombs and blessed be. New Subscriber here. Also added to my playlist❣️

[@StValentineStudio]

31 years old and profoundly disabled here. It gives me a lot of time to meditate and listen to music like this. I feel I am learning a lot of beautiful, hard, God-sent lessons that most people don’t learn until they are old. About who I am, and what my purpose on this earth is. Life is a gift and we each must do the best we can with it. Love whenever you get the chance. You are perfect as you are.

[@gonzoexpress9885]

God bless you, and keep the good vibes running high!!! 😊

[@julieaskingforafriend]

I'm hitting a major age milestone this year. Within the past 10 years, I have separated myself from a toxic narcissistic family and escaped a violent marriage. And "at my age" I was afraid that I got old without noticing and that my life was over without ever having actually begun. I have been so blessed to realize that that simply isn't the case. I have moved across the country, found work in one of the most beautiful places on earth, built a home, and have traveled to several continents. I'm in the process of reinventing myself yet again, but this time, not out of fear or desperation, but out of joy and a sense of adventure. Eat right, exercise, use your brain and your talents daily. Then getting old will take longer and won't be nearly as terrifying.

[@YvonneMelvin]

That’s really a good thing you did. The real truth is, WE DO NOT HAVE TO BE PERFECT. I got that at 50 years old. I’ve been so free for 10 years. I’m not looking back. I know have a messy house. Mom in heaven, it’s ok. 😂😂❤❤

[@audreesteab1845]

I'm so glad that I found my way to this lovely video. I'm 26 and love music. Watching and listening to this lovely lady sing and play her guitar. It was something special for me to listen to, Thanks.

[@elisethiel4946]

You are beautiful. I'm 69, tomorrow. I hope I stay as young as you, until I'm 80. Lovely Song !

I hope your birthday was the best one ever...with many..many more to come..even better.🎶💜

I'm paraphrasing, but, "your only clue is love and your only tool is learning that you're not alone." I really like that message, thanks

Мне 68 стукнуло, недавно. Есть желание научиться играть на гитаре, но меня одолевают сомнения. Теперь послушалавас, прекрасная девушка, и все сомнения пропали, буду учиться играть, а потом и петь. Спасибо вам, 100 лет живите и пойте, а потом как сами захотите! 😊😊😇

[@matyasbaca3965]

I just...can't even put into words how at peace with myself I feel after hearing your beautiful song and the message. I just about turned 20 and everything has changed in my life because of new school and moving away and everything, and sometimes I feel lost. I'm so glad I bought a guitar to help me along. Maybe one day I'll be able to play this song for myself and feel the same kind of peace and belonging I feel right now. Thank you

I’m still working as an accountant and almost 68. My life was music until I gave up my music business to get 2 graduate degrees in finance and accounting while working full time in my 50s. I have always wanted to play the mandolin and bought one during covid. I was a music teacher a pianist. organist, flute, and oboe player but my 5 brothers all play guitar. Those mountains are gorgeous. I am a life long musician and hiker. Thank you for the video.

[@lauracarstiou3505]

I left what was home at age 55 and went 3000 miles west. I left California when I was 72. I found home in the rolling hills of Virginia. Turns out I had ancestors from the same town. I love your music. I'm an artist so traveling was important to me. I have learned to live my dreams with very little money. You just have to be brave.

[@medinabekirova6295]

Читала комментарии людей и поняла о чем такая ритмичная песня. Всем слушателям она в чем то помогла и подсказала пути решения. Благодарю такую милую, молодую Душой женщину, исполнительницу. Это просто здорово слышать, хотя я и ничего не понимаю. Не надо бояться старости, а надо гордиться ею и ее мудрость и опытом прожитых лет. Буду искать перевод песни на русский. Музыка творит чудеса и объединяет сердца.

I’m a 53 yr old singer/guitarist/ songwriter… It’s 2 months since this was posted, and I just happened upon it and clicked: sometimes the most beautiful songs never find their way to be heard). How lucky am I? Thanks for reminding me that I’m more than a series of “once-was’s.” We all were, are, and are yet to be.

you look like my grandmother who passed away in Covid 19 pandemic. She was an original spirit from Türkiye. I cry whenever I watch this video, probably because you remind me her. If she were from Utah, she would be someone like you. I love you, best regards.

After all is said and done that is a mighty fine song. Singer is one of the beautiful people.
