Live at Duo Exchange, Tokyo Japan March 2005 Karla Bonoff, Kenny Edwards, Nina Gerber and Scott Babcock Karla Bonoff Live CD is available on www.karlabonoff...
This song is a stunner! Her rendition matches that of Linda’s,and she is my all time favorite! I give Karla the nod, SHE is a writer, with a Blessed Voice!
I played Karla Bonoff at my College Radio Station back in the 70's....she sounds EXACTLY the same 40 years later....such a beautiful, pure voice.....and soul searching lyrics....
Once in a while there will be a song that resonates far beyond the forgettable pop trash that the industry pushes at us. Someone to lay down beside me is one of those Gems !! Beautiful and haunting, touching on human need in a often loveless world. Thanks Karla.
***** Dear Clark, Thank you for noticing my comment, and responding. Forty plus years of writing things and wondering if anyone will notice. I hope I can write one song as good as this one. I have some songs on you tube, you might like them. Check out, Girls weren't design to pump iron. I'm not a good singer, but can't give up.
j flo Dear j flo, nice to know my words have not gone to waste. I wish I could write some songs with Karla. And I would definitely love to lay down beside her. Thanks, Yes, keep on rocking!!!
Gary Marshall Ellis I found your words so very true. You have the sensitivity and heart to write a beautiful song. If you already have done that, as I suspect, get it out there. Good luck I will be looking for it.
j flo Dear j flo, thank you. I have not been very lucky in love. Woman have always been difficult to get. No one nite stands, or happy ever after for me. The marriages, and relationships I've been in have been bad. Serial cheater, Crazy addict, and a girlfriend I loved very much, Dumped me on Christmas Eve 2012, for some internet Romeo. { See Dating Suck's! On hayloft dreamer . com. Type as one word. } Have not found a new girl friend yet. I have forty years of note books and no out let for them. There are fourteen songs on U. tube. Thirteen of them I wrote, More videos planed. I don't claim to be a good singer, I just won't give up. That's why this song means so much. There's always hope. Luv, Gary.
I simply love this song and I love Karla and am haunted by the understated power she carries. She is unflinching and unapologetic in her vulnerability. ❤️🙏🎶
I'd like to know if there's a songwriter that is more vulnerable and honest than Karla Bonoff. She never had to strain herself vocally to achieve the success she's had, so 40 years later, she still sounds as precious as her first albums. This is how a singer-songwriter should carry themselves. I think her and fellow Asylum label mate Andrew Gold are comparable.
I would L❤VE to see Sir Philip Collins(now 73 !) give this gem 💎 a proper go,, ..while he is still with us ! 😢 🙏 Man, does that sound like his "brand" (at 0:19). 🎶 💙 Gather up Lee Sklar, Daryl S., Kunkel, Waddy W. ..do it up *right* , y'all. 🎸🥁 🥂
The 1977 version has long been a favorite. I love this live version because her singing is so soulful. It would be even more amazing with Leland, Russ and Waddy, though.
Pure Magic! Your band rocked it! Your voice melts my cold heart. Linda Ronstadt paid honor. I love your Footloose contribution. Love that song! Somebody's Eyes. Would love to hear you one day. Rock on kid.
I had the thrill of hearing Karla Bonoff in concert in Marin, CA in the nineties. Stunning. I agree. I'm so glad her voice retains its crystalline depth. This song aches with the sense of emptiness of the seventies.
Just curious to see if there are any other people in the comments that are under the age of 18. Probably not but i love karla so much. This song is amazing.
Wow this is so beautiful! Only in my mind I can hear the original leads so a bit disappointed there. This is one of my all time favorites. I saw Karla once when she opened for Jackson Browne, long ago. I will always love her music.
Nothing against Kenny Edwards, but this song needs Waddy, as it was recorded originally. His guitar gave it another entire dimension...still, Karla Bonoff remains among the best that ever wrote a song. And this is one of her best.
@@schwartzenheimer1 ... Pretty sure Kenny Edwards (R.I.P., 2010, 64) was on bass here, and Nina Gerber is on guitar. ..and you are spot on 🎯 about Waddy Wachtel's original amazing guitar licks. 👍👍
You are looking at and listening to one of the best singer/songwriters of all time........ enjoy.
my favorite genre of music.
For me, the greatest female songwriter ever.
I 100% agree!!!
This was filmed in Tokyo, Japan in March of 2005.

Thank you for this
Thank you. 🪷🙏🛐

What else? She wrote it and had it on her own album before Linda sang it.
Underestimated talent!

One of my favorite songs done by Linda. Karla bonoff. Unreal songwriter. Not given enough credit
I've been in love with Karla Bonoff for many years. Amazing woman.
I simply love this song and I love Karla and am haunted by the understated power she carries. She is unflinching and unapologetic in her vulnerability. ❤️🙏🎶
SHe's supreme, her band are solid gold, and her voice and songs are incredible.

Wrote so many incredible, lovely, haunting songs. Linda Ronstadt sang her very well. Just love her.
Saw her last April in Grant's pass Oregon, gawd I love her songs!
The lyrics are a part of so many lives lived ... that's why it has always worked with her amazing voice.

such a great song, great lyric and melody, a great gifted talent. Glad she and Linda both sing this.
Kenny Edwards played for them both as well.
I heard Karla sing this first. Can't remember how, but later heard Linda's on her album. Still come back to Karla.
Masterpiece.
An uncommon occurance.
Lovely.
Intelligence!
I believe it's "a common occurrence" which fite the context of the song.

Sklar, Kunkel, Wachtel. ✅️✅️✅️

True talent!!! But I love Linda's version of this song..❤
I'd lay down beside Karla any time, place or plane of reality. A gem of a human, thanks for sharing this.

A brutally honest song. First heard it by Linda Ronstadt.
yes, Karla wrote it, Linda made it a hit.
one person is an idot to not love this song
Just curious to see if there are any other people in the comments that are under the age of 18. Probably not but i love karla so much. This song is amazing.
One of my all time favorites Karla sounds great
Better with age...saw her at 20TH Century in Cincinnati May 30, 2019...just her and Nina Gerber. One of the best concerts I've ever attended.
Karla's singing giving me Sarah McLachlan vibes *goosebumps* 💕
Great song
This is one of those songs...
Agreed. Karla sang her songs the best. Linda and Bonnie tried but her own versions just couldn't be surpassed.
Sorry! Love Linda's version! 🥰
@@world-yw5ro Their voices sound similar. Glad you enjoyed Karla's music. Linda is otherwise untouchable in my book.
The story of all of our lives.
Thank-you for this post what an awesome Singer and woman been a fan since 1976!!
im totally in love with this woman .wish I had met her in Boulder Colorado in 1978
Timeless. Karla Bonoff.
Wow this is so beautiful! Only in my mind I can hear the original leads so a bit disappointed there. This is one of my all time favorites. I saw Karla once when she opened for Jackson Browne, long ago. I will always love her music.
Such a beautiful song! She had a song in the Footloose movie. Her voice is magic.
Saw her and met her at the Birchmere in VA in 2001.
"You just can't ask for more." But, at the end, the crowd tried anyway!
so much humanity,,,,in this piece......
Hauntingly beautiful, saw her open for Harry Chapin
You just can't ask for more!
I love this song:)
I adore this woman!.The band!
Amazing! !
Yes. This is the best.. Linda loves it I'm bettn
Haunting.
RIP Kenny Edwards
Haunting. Love that!
for whatever reason uTube removed a really amazing live video of this by karla that i used to watch
Timeless
Wonderful
To me, it's unfortunate that she was a singer/songwriter at the same time as Carly Simon, Carole King, and Joni Mitchell, were also at their best.
She's still hot!
My friend looks just like her . But Hispanic
Guitar 🎸 It's too quiet🤔🤔
Nothing against Kenny Edwards, but this song needs Waddy, as it was recorded originally. His guitar gave it another entire dimension...still, Karla Bonoff remains among the best that ever wrote a song. And this is one of her best.

But Linda had the look.
Who needs this when we have Taylor Swift?
😆 !
So superior to Ronstadt.
+Dale Kuehne True, but I love the background vocals by Linda, Karla, and Wendy Waldman on Linda's version.
Dale Kuehne
Karla is an amazing composer and that along gives her the trophy but Linda is simply wonderful.
susan says this is a true story about herself and 2 men kenneth godachy and george centeno who is now her husband
She wrote it but Linda's is is better.
