The Highwomen - Only Child (Live @SiriusXM)

[@prjames8520]

I am a huge Brandi Carlile fan. Her music and personal story have just - captivated me, I don't know how else to say it. So, it's surprising I guess that this song, My Only Child, just happened to be my first sampling of the Highwomen's music. Meaning it wasn't their first hit song as a group, and I was slow to catch on! (Lol) However, I eventually did spot the "title of this song." And since I know a little about having an only child, I played it (this version). I loved it! I'm not embarrassed to tell you that daddy's can feel this kind of overwhelming love for their child too. When I heard these lyrics, and especially the warm and loving rendition of them... tears filled my eyes. Thank you Highwomen for this wonderful song. And thank you for continuing to give us a clearer vision of a woman's heart and soul through country music.

As the mother of an "only child" daughter, this song hits deep. Beautiful lyrics and harmonies - my favorite song.

[@johnschubert6699]

This was/is a magical group. Will wait a lifetime if necessary for another album from these talented performers. Incredible.

These women are changing country music. I always felt excluded and unsafe around country music. Wonderful to see the form evolving to be more inclusive.

Tears and chills-the power of this group is undeniable. And this one spoke to me in a moment when I needed it.

God I love this song, so glad there's a live version. Really hope they tour and come to UK.

[@amazongirl74]

I’m praying they come here to the UK too!

[@jenevavergara4125]

did they disbanded already? i love them and I sooo love Brandi😢

[@valisaschmidley]

I think this is in my top 3 songs that Natalie Hemby has penned. She has a real gift.

[@shawnuel]

Yup. Of course, "Rainbow" is a killer.

[@legendcitymusic]

yep i am a Hemby fan for sure

[@joannroshnieable]

Wow. I really felt this. I'm really digging this group. With so much talent, the possibilities are endless. I look to forward to continuing to follow along with their journey as they evolve and blossom.

[@robertbrown996]

A staggeringly beautiful song. I'm neither an only child nor a mother but it hits me like a monster-wave every time . Sublime , absolutely sublime.

[@markgreenfield3457]

Oh ffs...err I’ve got dust in my eye err..it’s windy...err..oh man. Beautiful.

[@chamathsandeepa880]

Amazing 😍😍

[@stee5337]

Nice !

[@johnschubert6699]

Love their music. Too bad only one album has been made. Such a talented group and incredible singers otherwise

[@SirensHarbor]

Awesome!

[@jaimemariebrennan2048]

I have an only child. I would have loved more, but they weren't in the cards I was dealt.

[@peekay1ne]

likewise. This song gets me every time.

[@toddstein5407]

A friend of mine has an only child when they would get asked about having more he would say that she was so perfect, they couldn't do much better than her

[@missbumblebee8633]

Maren, please girl put some clothes on.

[@luclachaine4022]

Why?

[@lisakathleen8090]

This comment is unnecessary and misogynistic. Back off.

[@missbumblebee8633]

@@lisakathleen8090 I am a musician myself and it irritates me to no end that wanna-be porn stars have permiated mainstream music.

[@lisakathleen8090]

@@missbumblebee8633 It sounds like you are making assumptions about what it means that Maren has chosen the clothes she has. Maybe it actually means that she’s comfortable with her body, that she’s from a place with warmer weather, or that she likes dressing sexy and sassy. Women these days have a lot more flexibility with what they wear and most people have begun to realize that the judgements aren’t correct or helpful. I think we should let character, not clothing, define us.

[@missbumblebee8633]

@@lisakathleen8090 I am a musician and woman myself. I will always defend a woman's right to wear what she wants to wear. However, I will also always defend my right to object to it. Has nothing whatsoever to do with misogyny. I just value music way too much and I want to see female musicians impress with their talent and not their boobs or a$$.
