Shawn Colvin, I am not a perfect poerson at this but... let me say... thank you... During my teen years I listened to you and it helped me through some dark times... Since then I have donated plasma and blood and d9one everything I can. Served in the army. Thank you for all you do... I won't forget it.

[@thesharishow]

If for no other reason, I love that quarantine made one of my favorite artists' live performances accessible to me. I will forever sing Sunny Came Home loudly in whatever random place I hear it lol Trouble!!! My favorite.

[@banditkitty2743]

Thank you for all the years of entertainment; great to see you. Here in 2024

[@danbeaird3431]

I'm 47 and "I don't know why" has also been my life's lullaby, sung to myself through the darkest times in my life...thank you Shawn 🙏

[@333roark333]

Love her percussion abilities as she plays...

[@TheWendable]

Déjà Siku Thanks for that.. I watched Antoine Dufour - Candyrat "To Run In A Dream" WOW it blew me away. It reminds me of Mike Dawes who I discovered a few years back he has the same effortless performance. Makes me wanna throw my wee acoustic in the bin 😂

[@PeteBluesman]

Shawn, just want you to know: you have made my life richer. Thank you!!!

[@amandabaynham-swales9222]

[@TheZusel]

Wow, first Mary Chapin then you.. Incredible. Two of my favorite musicians live from home. I am so delighted to listen to your songs. You made my day! Greetings from Germany

[@melissaroughgarden9230]

Great way to pay it forward. Love to you and your daughter who is all grown now!!! Last time I saw you was the Scottish Rite Theater in Collingswood NJ and your daughter was tiny. Love you Ms. Shawn ❤️🎤🌞🎶

[@MrDanamp]

The beauty of Shawn's singing and playing aside, was there ANY doubt that the dark-haired beauty in the very beginning was her daughter?! A look-alike!

[@WesMoran]

Love your music. I grew up listening to you as a teenage boy. I’m glad you still play. Thanks for the video.

[@hotmadusa49]

Shawn, I have loved you since I think the 90’s??!! You’re still amazing and a beautiful soul. Thank you for this!!!!

[@eliseelliott-smith2316]

I was just thinking of your song Polaroids and I thought I’d listen to it KZbin and found this. Thank you so much for this and super sweet that your daughter helped. Love to both you two ❤️

[@Son-Of-David1990]

man... seriously... Sunny came home is just a genius written song. the strumming pattern, the unique chord progressions, the catchy hook of the transfer into the chorus.... and def the lyrics and the meaning behind it!!!

[@stevenweiss2148]

The Dude still prefers Shawn Colvin's Viva Las Vegas!

[@christyfisher795]

shawn's music has meant the world to me.

[@metomp67]

Happy Birthday. Thanks for sharing your considerable talent and heart with our ears,

[@plainjane8706]

LoveLoveLove your voice and musical style, but mostly the way your heart speaks to our common struggles and joys. Thank you, Shawn, for knowing the right words and notes to help me heal.

[@leenieledejo6849]

She's so talented 🎸🎤❤

[@jamesstone6122]

God, I LOVE you Shawn! I don't Facebook so I didn't know about this happening. Was listening to a live performance "Live, 2009" and was missing your between-song narratives that you do when live and re-tuning. I Googled it hoping to find some, and this came up. Perhaps my favorite story was one you told about Sting's comment about your re-tuning live and your response. I still laugh when I think about that one! Miss seeing you live, this was great!!! And thank you for sharing. My daughter deals with clinical depression and I know how real it is. Take care and God Bless You!

[@profatomo]

One of my very favorite singer/songwriters. Shawn's music is always so profound and intrinsically beautiful and deeply intimate. A fan forever, patiently waiting on your next album..

[@sonictreat1]

I just saw listened to this, and I was moved and inspired as I have been so many times by Shawn’s myriad artistic gifts. (Although, as a musician, I know she did not just receive them wrapped up in box with a bow) I am seeing this months after it first dropped, and after hundreds of thousands of souls have been lost, and after so much economic devastation, and it moves me perhaps even more than it might have during lockdown. It reminds me we have so many great people keeping the flame alive, and supporting others even during the darkest times. For gods sake, vote, and wear a mask. Ps, hope she can do a show in Milwaukee when it’s safe!

[@LaaLaa901]

How did I miss this in April? Beautifully done. The sound quality on this is excellent. I've loved you forever Shawn. Thank you for all you do to provide support for mental illness.

[@debralangley9918]

Layin on my hammock, eyes closed listening to her n the indigo girls just gives me the perfect mood.

[@monoblues]

Thanks Shawn...for beautiful music and heart.!

[@alejandromartingil1136]

Thank you so much. Your music is accompanying me in these difficult days. Greetings from Madrid, Spain. Loved to see you playing live here

[@TheMiniMadCat]

So glad I searched your name on KZbin. Your music has always been inspirational to me, A Few Small Repairs sits in my top 5 albums. God bless you Shaun Colvin, and all those around you

[@brubeker12]

Shawn your rendition of Viva Las Vegas is the best ever. I came across it in the movie Big Labowski which I watched many years ago and still watch a couple of times a year one of my favourite films . It was a perfect number to end the film and so beautifully sung and arranged. I never understood why it wasn't played more over here in the UK and why it wasn't included on the CD of numbers from the film. Its in my top 20 list of all time songs and although I loved Elvis you beat the pants of him with you're version of Viva las Vegas. 💖

[@reglagirl5802]

Loved Don’t Worry Me Now…and the lullaby. Always have

[@lauradavis4691]

I just woke up from a dream about you, which made me check you out on KZbin. I’ve always loved you & your openness about mental health. Depression sucks so thank you for speaking about it. Thank you more for your gift & who you are. I love you still.

[@atreyuprincipalh4043]

What an amazing talent,am at awe every time I her You perform❤

[@amywamyw5150]

We so missed you coming to Jackson MS with Daphne Willis. I have had the true pleasure to see you 4 times and was thrilled you were coming to my home town. Please put Jackson MS on your calendar when you can... We all can't wait to get out our houses and see you. Hugs from Mizipy.

[@byrtmallanyk]

[@DanielinLaTuna]

The KZbin recommended you. I’m so glad

[@cherylholling]

Shawn, I wish there were words for what your song 'I Don't Know why' stirs in my soul. It truly reaches to another time and place that is both beautiful and melancholy...I don't know why but it does.

[@jerrydelacruz5119]

What a beautiful soul.

[@coachvig]

Such beauty with the taste of pain in the Soul...You amazed me!

Backline seems like itmay be considered the Low income version of the Kennedy AWARDS? which I watched last night and loveddue toJoni Mitchell, my singing, songwriter hero,like you Shawn.. you'll be on the list one day for sure

[@Templemassager]

Hi Shawn, Thank you for your talent and sharing it with the world. I am an innovator that created a device for calming. I have donated over 5000 to U.S. service members and veterans globally to honor two friends that gave all. I have contacted Backline and I hope to communicate with them. Thank you for mentioning them and I hope to help. Happy New Year.

[@EphemeralProductions]

beautiful! love it! thanks so much shawn. 4 years later but it's still great! i love how you used many open tunings, just like Joni! :) i know you said you took a break from it but it looks like you took some from her and made it your own.

[@lauriegoldsmith3511]

I remember when I saw you at Passim's way back when. You were an influence on me then and now I have found your house concert here. Since that time I first heard you, I have been a professional performing songwriter. I appreciate your willingness to be vulnerable with your craft and for helping others in this way, thank you.

[@julieritter3973]

I listened to your album over and over and over again...and I still listen to me. It is one of my favorites off all . Thank you.

Fantastic, sounding great! Love you Shawn. Subbed

[@stevetautog880]

when this song hit in 1997-98 I was forty yrs old and felt bad because as high as this song made me fell I was 40 yrs old and considered too old to find a girlfriend I did not have any money to spend spend spend which the women of long island expected I was just a poor social worker with a good heart which was not enough to attract a good woman i know I know you will say I simply did not look in the right places the fact i I am /was a product of the 1960's being anti materialistic and in 1997-8 there was no one who held that belief system so now here i am in 202 and I am 66 and sadly the same problem exists no money
