Shawn Colvin = Nothing Like You

[@cainamaniac1]

Shawn I've Always Loved Ya, Not cause You're a great Guitarist, Not cause you Always have Great lyrics, It's Your Voice And Delivery! Thanx for the Memories.(Now I Got a Friggin Tear In Me Eye! (Don't Tell Anyone)).

Love the simplicity of this. As usual, played and sung fantastically-well. No pretense. Just the genuine article.

[@littledrummergirl71]

takes me to a beautiful peacefull place where i can heal and take time for myself. SO GOOD.

[@Catmandude]

I came across this watching a MASH tribute. What a beautiful and pure voice. Makes me want to hear LOTS more.

[@kemplerbrave]

Hadn't watched this for a while but I love Shawn and her music and playing and this is such a great tune. I love to watch her play. Great!

[@kemplerbrave]

Shawn makes playing a song like this look easy but I heard she just worked on her playing early on so that is no surprise. Her voice is great and her Martin sounds like a bell. Love it!

[@stpiquette]

Coool! I found a great Shawn Colvin site. Lovely person.

[@rickadams8139]

the guitar playing is so simple and pure. really good

[@paindeer]

This song reminds me of the art of song writing. And more ! ! ! Paradoxical too - clearly this is an inward experience- only captured temporary. I am content NOT to know the authorial intent behind the piece. Thanks Ms/Mrs. Colvin.

I just discovered 'Fat City' and 'These Four Walls'. I have become infatuated instantly by her vocal inflections and phrasing. Formidable talent.

[@kemplerbrave]

Me too kdb. Love it. Love the way she plays. :)

[@Winners79]

I love this, it's so good!

[@mikebtko]

I love you Shawn!

[@golyg]

O M G ! I love her

[@kemplerbrave]

Early on in life. She was a great fan of Joni Mitchell with the different tunings etc. and practiced and that can be noticed in her guitar playing now for sure. I love this tune also which I forgot to mention.

[@kemplerbrave]

Me too kdb89. I love to watch her play you know? Well, I know you know. :):)

[@kemplerbrave]

Love this song and I love to watch her play her Martin. I'd love to play along with her with mine. Of course I know I'm just dreaming. :)

[@paindeer]

This work is not anchored to any person. Be happy to be born to witness someone else gaining opportunity to share a view and I do hope they are everything like you !

[@spotthirteen]

Well at least I know what's ailing me, n same I reckon I can live with it xxx:)

[@golyg]

she's such a great guitar player who knew ?

[@paindeer]

And you've been waiting for a while... I can tell. no causality... even so - This person pulls off a delicate balance between loss and hope barracaded up in hope in this piece. I am 39, and 'get' the state of human affairs, they are not often pretty - FINALLY- I understand what the artist is about in this piece. nothing to do with the artist even - raw human beingness here - unsung, unsaid - could have been better left - but hey - why not reach from the abyss and deliver this.

[@paindeer]

Indeed.

[@tamgil]

Wow, I didn't know she was on, "Survivor"!!!!

[@kemplerbrave]

Wow, that's cool you met her. Where did you meet her? At a concert? Must have been great. I think we are big fans right? Cool!!

[@kemplerbrave]

I play guitar also and it does take a lot of practice with some songs and some of the songs Shawn plays as well as Lisa Loeb are in open tunings so they can take a "lot" of practice. It is discouraging but if you keep with it sometimes the chords you think you'll never be able to play come to you. I'm still practicing "These Four Walls" by Shawn and haven't done it yet. Just keep it up you'll do fine.

[@paindeer]

Colvin teaches in this piece. Human 100% I would include this video on the next NASA Voyager mission. I think it reflects bare - universal human emotion - few words can describe the reality behind this piece to me. The song was a best attempt - the real song isn't even sung I think.

[@kemplerbrave]

Anyone know what tuning Shawn uses in this song. Love it. Great tune. :)

[@zelieblue]

XoXo

[@kemplerbrave]

@kdb89 Yes, she sure is. :)

[@paindeer]

I suppose my post as as absurdly not without effort as what it must be like to create a piece like this. I find the facial expressions in the video FAR outweighing of the words - perhaps even music. I guess I'm trying to say I think this piece is a very private endeavor - somehow leaked to the public ! not the video, the entire meditation. I see some sincere expressions here - that really - go without words or music ! Gee, what can you say but thanks for sharing a side of humanity ! :)
