Saved by a Song | Mary Gauthier | TEDxLincolnSquare

[@ksbeditor]

Mary's songs are profoundly spiritual. Hearing her description of her work with soldiers is inspirational.

[@rickszekelyi502]

I had the opportunity to hang with Mary for 3 days at a workshop. This video reminded me of the power that is within that lady. The time spent with her and the impact has lasted. BTW, she also makes great Jambalaya !!

[@berniarmstrong]

Brilliant break down of the process and also the role that the song produced can play in the healing process. "Songs are empathy machines..." Spot on!

[@jimedwards1955]

Two thumbs up cuz that's all God gave me. Way to go Mary. You continue to knock it outta the park and your work w/ the vets is vital, worthy of your talent and time, and ordained.

[@CherryKelln]

Wow. Wow. Wow. I've loved MG's music for a long time, but I never knew her story. This is amazing.

[@davidfly254]

Go Mary Go! Your willingness to "go there" with our veterans is inspiring. Thank you.

[@theasummerdeer3583]

So powerful. The world needs this truth.

[@studio222calgaryltd.6]

Mary, as always, you do God's work, gently, kindly and so very well put. Love to you. Cate

[@Shellyz2u]

Our veterans and our children experience trauma like no one else. We must take care of and protect both

[@mikegaurnier]

I didn't know anything about Mary Gauthier when I found and read her book. This is a little taste of that complete story. But more than that, if we are interested, her book is the best song writing instruction manual I've come across. We, too, can write songs that heal us. And in so doing, we are writing songs that can heal others. I totally agree Mary is inspirational. 😃

[@letgoandallow2779]

thank you sister not only for DOING the sacred work of heart opening, but sharing THAT DOING, inspiring us to become creative healers in our worlds too!

[@adriennelovelocksongwriter7968]

Mary Gauthier, a writer of courage.

[@foxopossum]

Not sure why I immediately started getting chill bumps when she started talking, like fr, even before I heard her story I got chills. 1/3 the way through I started crying. She got something special

[@klaushjerrild]

You just touched the heart of a man in Copenhagen with your little lecture here. You have a great insight and a phenomenal way of expressing and sharing this. Thanx a lot.

[@aburrage7697]

I am amazed how hard times shapes us into who we are. We are a bit like butterflys. We are meant to fly.

[@carlabak9666]

You certainly have become a powerful healer... Love that about you!

[@valerie4luv162]

What a gift you are sharing with the world. Thank you

[@joanellis9475]

Mary, I love you for sharing your truth .

[@kristineedge6700]

Thank you Mary!

[@stephaniejefferson6566]

Powerful. Thank you.

[@zimmee]

You touch me deeply Mary. 🤗🌻🙏

[@jules007able]

This is so beautiful and true ❤️Thank you Mary!

[@sadchild70]

That speech was fantastic, all twenty minutes of it.

[@nigelmazlynjones1380]

Sometimes, just sometimes life flicks a link just when you need it to something that explains that moments tears and gives some answers and some hope. So thank you for being there and making this vid just when I need it but didn't know I did and for the heart and empathy you confirmed to me IS the way and not just a personal dream no one else shares... so onwards ... bless you

[@louisewisechild]

Thank you, thank you Mary. You are just what I needed today. I write some razor blade songs and hearing you talk about the audience made me laugh and laugh. Thanks for the inspiration to keep on. What an eloquent and moving presentation. Gracias.

[@tinaselhorst8112]

God Bless you Mary.. Music is good for the soul!!

[@gregskwira7676]

Beautifully done, Mary.

[@racmasart]

30 years later… So proud of you Mary! xx -Rachel(ini), Boston

[@catherinetodd]

Most important thing I've heard in years about songwriting, trauma and creating a rung on that ladder of healing... "Rifles & Rosary Beads"

[@AnaLockett]

Wow this is truly amazing and wonderful.

[@hollycranglemays7861]

I love it! Hard and sweaty, but beautuful work!

[@sandragibson2745]

AWESOME 👍👍👍👍❤❤❤

[@SolaceEasy]

Mary's wounds too often are her focus. Although songs can soothe jangled nerve pathways, their full power comes from building and strengthening effective pathways.

[@willrobbins6115]

What you do is amazing thank you. Really inspired right now after watching this, i feel closer to sobriety

[@swd210]

[@lornasimes6654]

Amen, sister. Amen.

[@48janis]

See you tonight Mary in Leeuwarden!!

[@SaraTrunzoMUSIC]

YES!

[@bajatroy]

I love your talent...you cant find war

[@dawnconnors8205]

Can a song save or change the world? I don't know but it certainly can't hurt and it may just help... *Soulshine is better than sunshine* *It's better than moonshine* *and it's damn sure better than rain...*

[@gordonteats298]

Jesus is Lord in your heart
