An acoustic guitar, a bass, 2 voices. No auto tune BS, meaningful lyrics. I'm a 46 yo French guy and I can't stop being nostalgic of a period that was over when I was born. Today's music is far, far from such a quality writing and composing.
Such a beautiful old soul. I met Kate thru her soon to be husband Don Coffin in 1971. Don and I had a music class together at Sonoma State College. He invited me to his beautiful Victorian house he shared with Kate in Sebastopol one night to jam. We sat in her kitchen by the old wood stove and sang and sang till the wee hours of the morning. I went back often to sing and play with her and Don. I treasure those moments. She was only 29 then but this was not her first time on the planet. I was mesmerized by her presence. One night I was at one of her gigs and she asked me up on stage to join her in a couple of songs we used to play on those nights in her kitchen. I will forever be grateful for that experience. She was just a struggling singer/songwriter in those days, but I'm so happy she broke thru to the public and became a success. Her star will forever shine bright in the Universe. RIP Sweet Kate.
I found Kate’s music as my wife’s memory started to fade. Each day as took care of my wife, Kate’s music helped me cope. Now that my sweet wife is gone Kate’s music helps me remember. And shed my tears. My wife’s name was Kay. To love and be love is everything.
I have loved Kate Wolf for many years and had the privelege of caring for her when she was ill-what an amazing grace filled women-God bless you always Kate.Gone way to early ...
Simple music can make you sing simple hug can make you feel better simple things can make you happy, i hope my simple Hello brings smile to your face!....
That's impressive. The Tibetan believe if you lived a life of compassion you will accept old age better. I bet Kate was very gracious when you took care of her
I agree. Went through a double barrel wife loss, many years apart and many years ago. I learned. about loss and there's no easy way, but future awaits us. Grief & Splender for all of us that, want it to come. More later.
I'm 60 years old and spent half a lifetime working on tour with all the big bands and I have never heard a song More poetic and mournful and meaningful than this one
Yes, memories of this song and album were with me and my daughters and their father on a logging camp in Alaska back in 1986. She moved my heart deeply at this time in my life, and I still love her so. So sorry she left us so soon being stricken with cancer.
Willy you are “bang on” , this song is what I will remember when sang me to sleep. Thanks 😊. I love Joan Baez , Simon &garfunkel , the eagles, in fact that I grew up in that generation of such a profusion of talent, I an 75 years old, ( God spares me a couple of months) it’s the music that can lift your stir it
Yes, Kate was 'the voice' for me.. we sounded so much the same.. I know we were somehow connected.. I met her about a year before she died.. I loved her like a sister...and still cry for her. She was and remains unique in her style.. no one sounds like Kate.. just Kate
I heard this song once before back around 1986 and it’s lyrics appealed to me instantly but I never heard it since I guess it was played at the time Kate passed away RIP but by chance It came up in You Tube mix and I can’t stop playing it all week. Kate must have been a woman who was soaking in love kindness caring and romance. I also learned she’s left this world far too soon back in December 10/1986 this brings me to tears every time I hear her sing this wonderful song. Long live your music Kate your children must be very proud of you 👏❤️
I only discovered Kate Wolf a couple of months ago and was dismayed and saddened to discover that she is no longer with us. A wonderful talent with a beautiful voice, taken from us far too soon. ❤
I just discovered her a couple days ago, I received an autographed copy of her Big Blue Sky cd along with a lot of old music CDs, and she actually signs her name Kayte Wolf, and this is dated 8/11/02. I love the warmth of her voice.
Ooh, I lived near her in Sonoma County and loved her then, and into now. I have her old albums and cherish them. She's always been an angel. She still makes me cry
Amazed. At the younger generation that has just heard her for first time, and the ones that are singing her material. People still yearn for beautiful music like thist.
Same thing happened to me last year. Just stumbled across this video while listening to other songs. I was blown away. Couldn't believe I'd never heard of her or this song. I probably listened to this song for several hours on repeat. The guitar is perfect and her voice is heavenly.
Contigo irmão na mesma emoção.Espero que esta princesa e rainha esteja nas melhores casas celestiais, já que como um anjo em sua voz nos permitiu sentir um pedaço de seu paraíso. Sagrado seja teu destino nossa divina princesa.
November 4, 2021 marks a special day in my life. It is the day I first knew of Kate Wolf and heard her sing. The date also marks the day of this...my very first TH-cam post. How I came across this "Kate Wolf-Green Eyes" TH-cam video is a complete mystery; the video just appeared in the right-hand column of up-coming videos...was listened to...and DESERVED comment. I am now very conflicted. Since my early days of college in the 1960s, Joan Baez has always been my favorite female folk singer...especially Joan singing Bob Dylan songs. And then, today, for the very first time, I heard Kate Wolf sing "Green Eyes" with the voice of an angel. WOW! What a voice! So calming. So beautiful.
leeger777 no kidding I just found this. Then to find out she is gone. Example of parallel realities. She exists as if alive and well, perfect voice and evoking emotions....
Meine Frau hat mich auf sie aufmerksam gemacht. So eine wunderbare, warme Stimme. Es geht direkt ins Herz ❤ Nur schade, dass ich sie nicht schon vor Jahren gehört habe, soetwas lief leider nie im deutschen Radio. Aber, das ist das gute und positive an der heutigen Zeit, ermöglicht das Netz einen solch phantastische Künstler auch besser spät, als nie, zu entdecken
u are so lucky i am so lucky too we need this calming voice to clam us through these fucken days hope u guys all here good and healthy from here in Syria with all pain but still we could enjoy beautiful songs
Yes I too am still listening in 2023. I am moved each and every time. Words can't express my sorrow at her passing even after all these years. Love and gratitude from Australia ❤❤❤
Wow. Where have I been? First time I've heard this lovely sweet voice. Passed at 44? My, what a tragedy. Thumbs down? Really. My God this world has become so damn cruel.
C'est au hasard que j'ai découvert cette merveilleuse artiste, depuis je ne cesse d'écouter ses nombreux titres. C'est juste magnifique, quel talent, quel artiste cette voix m'envoute. Vous êtes partie trop tôt Kate mais votre musique restera éternelle. 🙏
@@suzannelawson9215 I didn't know I went to listen to a few titles, her voice is a little higher than Kate Wolf's, she reminds me a bit of Joan Baez. It is true that in France we are far from familiar with the American folk repertoire of yesterday and today, which must be very rich. It's a great discovery!!! THANKS !! 🙏
I heard of Kate wolf. This is the first time I am hearing her performance. I am sorry she passed away at age 44. I want to convey my condolences and express my heartfelt sympathy to her family, friends and relatives.
Had the pleasure and privilege of seeing her perform at Freight and Salvage in Berkeley, CA, way back in the day (early/middle 80s). So it was just before her tragic death in 1986. My friend and I went up to the stage after her performance to thank her for her music. She then graciously signed the album we had just bought. She told my friend, "Oh, you have such beautiful earrings!" My friend promptly took them off and gave them to Kate. Kate didn't want to accept them saying, "Oh, they are much too beautiful to give away." My friend said, "It's a small exchange for all the pleasure you've brought me with your music. Please. Take them. It would make me so happy." Kate smiled beautifully and put the earrings on there and then. A precious memory!
I think that's what makes it so memorable, I come back here again and again to hear it, as many say they do. The lyrics are simple yet connect so deeply. maybe the best love song ever written
Same here Ian. Dont know how she slipped past my "radar" And how about that singing harmony with that Bass player. I am really so taken with her performance. Beautiful lady too.OHHH I just saw in one of the comments she dies in 86. Terrible loss. I guess that explains a lot, huh?
I must be addicted to KATE'S music. .because I can't stop listening to it. Her voice is beautiful and her lyrics are mesmerizing. She is quite unique with her musical talents.
No idea that she ever lived. Just heard her just now for the first time. She‘s so impressive... The good always go too young. But a part of her is still here. With us. Thanks for being with us.
This has really touched me Victor. I just lost my Mom, I was holding her hand as I saw her take her last breath. It was the greatest honor I've ever felt in my life. I hope the year has been kind to you in your grieving process as I hope mine will be as my year has just begun. As I play this song over again here's to you Kay and Jackie. You are still deeply loved.
On another Kate Wolfe rabbit hole after Nanci's passing. A number of years ago (thinking about it it's probably nearly 30!) I was at an Eric Bogle concert in London...and got him to sign the cover of Poets Heart (written about him by Kate). God she was so good
I'm walking the same path, watching small pieces of my wife's memories and cognitive abilities slip through our fingers. We listen to Kate and find solace there. Even as her beautiful eyes miss more and more.
Andrew Prokopis happened to me exactly the same way. Never heard of her before, I’m now hooked on all her songs, finding new ones every time I go digging, wonderful stuff.
This tune will follow me into eternity. What a songwriter, what a person. Many years after she left us she still is here. I do not believe in God, but let him/her watch over Kate’s soul.
First time I have heard this beautiful song with such a amazing singer and band. I lost my 21 yr old daughter 9 years ago . And this song reminds so much of her. We all find comfort and solace in certain songs. And this song is one of those that means so much too so many on many different levels. God bless you for bringing this song to the world.
Kate Wolf has been an enigma for me...everytime I find something I havent heard by her before it resonates for me in a way only one other artist ever has...I dont know how to give higher praise than that. Her music always touches me, nearly always moves me...another great loss of talent to the perils that life presents. Her appearance in my life at opportune moments speaks to a greater plan I dont understand or crazy happenstance. I have to wonder by what logic many others were allowed to live (myself included) and she was taken so early. Clearly a mystery and tragedy of chance or an act of a god I dont understand. But in spite of the confusion about her, I am absolutely soul bound to her music in a way that is in itself incomprehensible. And I will accept that and be grateful for it.
Watched this concert, with Nina Gerber, in stripes, riffing, on KERA Dallas. This was ‘82 or ‘83. I was in tears. I wrote her, and the return mail from her son, told me that she was very sick. Shortly after she died of leukemia, I believe. There will never be another lady story teller like her. Her ease of delivery makes her very credible. Requiescat In Pace, sweet soul.
Kates voice, is ethereal, haunting, and this beautiful ballad, is really her song. It just re-enforces the saying that it’s beautiful music makes the human spirit soar forever upwards.
I listening to this at least once a day.The voice is so memorable and her lirics so poetic.Such a beautiful clear voice, soothing the soul.I love these songs, and I love Kate...from Chicago, Illinois. Greetings.
This album was recorded live at Austin City Limits in 1985, at the peak of Kate's career, not long before she was diagnosed with the leukemia that took her from us. I was lucky enough to see her at McCabe's in Santa Monica in the early 1980s, and lucky enough that she sang her all-time hit "Give Yourself to Love" and my fave, "The Trumpet Vine." Two warmer songs I never heard. When she passed, Garrison Keillor played her "Give Yourself to Love" and spoke a brief, moving tribute to her that left no eyes dry.
Her voice is so lovely, I felt so peaceful listening to this, but it's pretty sad Love her beautiful voice but have never heard about her What do you admire most about her?
I’m glad I stumbled onto this video. It’s the first I’ve heard of Kate Wolf and I can feel the U.S.A soul in her. Beautiful and calm. Just what we all need these days, it makes me want to visit 👏🏻👏🏻
I just love how peaceful her voice sounds So touching, and her voice is so lovely wow this is pretty sad But have never heard about her before, Who's she?
Simple music can make you sing simple hug can make you feel better simple things can make you happy, i hope my simple Hello brings smile to your face!....
❤ Every night we light the candle That stands beside our bed But sometimes the flame's too much to handle That's what you said That's what you said And you should know Because you built a fire in me and you made it burn You followed me watching every move Matching every turn Your green eyes, they don't miss a thing They hold me like the sun going down Warm me like a fire in the night Without a sound You were waiting till I heard Just as patient as that love light in your eyes You never threw away a word Or ever talked in a disguise I ought to know You were a beacon to a sailor lost at sea I saw it in your eyes when you looked at me So openly Your green eyes, they don't miss a thing They hold me like the sun going down Warm me like a fire in the night Without a sound The first time I ever saw your laughter Break loose inside and tumble out to me My heart knew it had found what it was after And it came so easily We should know After all the years of the hard and heavy times Now, our days go by like best friends' story lines Yours and mine Your green eyes, they don't miss a thing They hold me like the sun going down Warm me like a fire in the night Without a sound Without a sound
Thank you. I've found that: at about 0:56 is _You should know_ at about 1:16 is _Green eyes, they don't miss a thing_ at about 3:58 is _After all the years of the hard and lonely times_ Cheers.
My parents house. Took all my savings to renovate it. Found memories. Costs a fortune to mantain. Rent it out to cover the costs. Villa Gardenia, Curacao. What sound and fond memories this song awaken. Life was not so bad at all as a kid, I realize now.
Sad for me. I just discovered Kate Wolf today, and found out immediately that she is no longer with us. Same thing happened to last year with me with Eva Cassidy. Never knew about either of them, fell in love with their voices and arrangements and then ... gone! Weird. Thanks to Kennethrm3 for posting this!
A voice like Eva's comes along once a generation. Maybe. If w're lucky. The record industry completely missed the boat with Eva. She was not easily 'categorized' (too eclectic), so they never picked her up. Wht a goddamn shocking waste, no....?
7 years later. I discovered Kate Wolf too. Far, far to late. Beautifull!! We will remember her beautifull songs, performance because of TH-cam! Thanks!
Kate , you were so beautiful , in many ways . . . I’m still saddened by your passing , way too soon . I’m so thankful that many of your videos are available for us fans to enjoy , to cherish. At least in this way you live on , and that makes me smile , in a sad way . George Lewis, Sr.
George - I stumbled upon Kate just recently. I was saddened to learn of her death at such a young age. My friend, Darden Smith, happened to be traveling that night with Nina Gerber (Kate's lead guitarist) when the news came through of her death. He said the next several hundred miles were just an awkward silence as they contemplated Kate and her legacy. She touched so many through her music and seemed like a wonderful human being. Rest always in peace Kate!
Kate Wolf wrote so many awesome songs. This is one of my favourites. Sometime to believe she has been gone for so many years. I wish there had been a cure for her, she died way too young.
I was a child of the sixties, love all of the folk singers. Thought i had heard all of them, but heard this first time a month ago. Dug out my guitar and have been practising my fingerpicking. What beatuful lyrics. Victor, what a beatiful soul you have
Her voice is so lovely, I felt so peaceful listening to this, but it's pretty sad Love her beautiful voice but have never heard about her What do you admire most about her?
Simple music can make you sing simple hug can make you feel better simple things can make you happy, i hope my simple Hello brings smile to your face!...
The Miss Grundy's who cannot stand her. She is sadly missed, but had a significant impact on music in her short life and was nominated to the Hall of Fame the year after she passed away from Leukemia in 1986. Those who attack her only reveal their own smallness and lack of character and accomplishments.
@@cashopa Yes same here, and like the guy above, though I don't have so much time for it since having to busk 🎻 in Veliko Turnovo, 7-10 years ago, I have always loved those Irish trad. Jigs and reels. Hard to believe the years that have flown, and that she died so young, but anyway - we "met" at last thank TH-cam and it's Uploaders ! I hope One day sanity will return to this Earth, and give room for some Music !!
Totally beautiful soulful voice projecting kindness and honesty. I play all tracks in my workshop all day and the place becomes quiet and work becomes a pleasure. RIP wonderful woman
Lovely greeting from Finland. Just lately I found this beautiful singer and the song of Kate Wolf. Although I have travelled around the world and heard many many singers I never happened to hear her beautiful voice before. Best luck and God's blessing to Kate Wolf! further more!
It is 2024 and I am here. It is lovely
So I know who I am and what itis
Ich höre es auch immer wieder gerne.❤😢
who are you
Green eyes ... belong to few nations. My green eyes drive me nuts as we are not good on strong winds. However, GOOD on other stuff which compensates.
So am I…

Your comment "not the first time on this planet" was interesting.
Thank you for sharing this! Precious memories!
Your words paint a wonderful picture, and insight into her life. Why are so many such as she taken so early? Thank you for your post on this site.
Kate's sweetness and soul transpires in her beautiful songs...
Yes
J'ai découvert Kate il y a quelques semaines sur TH-cam.. Depuis, je l'écoute tous les jours...
I found Kate’s music as my wife’s memory started to fade. Each day as took care of my wife, Kate’s music helped me cope. Now that my sweet wife is gone Kate’s music helps me remember. And shed my tears. My wife’s name was Kay. To love and be love is everything.
Victor Vogelsang beautiful
Tis better to have loved and lost than never love at all. Hang in there Victor
Kate Wolf's music heals your soul.
How wonderful to honor your beloved Kay this way.

Did you care for her at UCSF in her final days back in 1986 Bryn?
Sounds like my story with my Joyce

That's impressive. The Tibetan believe if you lived a life of compassion you will accept old age better. I bet Kate was very gracious when you took care of her
Best 5 minutes 13 seconds ever spent. What a musician. Love this so much.
She's summat else beautiful!!
Love that song.

She doesn't look health here for her age.
my first time to know her music last night. i have luck.
Just discovered her now in 2020.....such a loss.
Ooh, I lived near her in Sonoma County and loved her then, and into now. I have her old albums and cherish them. She's always been an angel. She still makes me cry

There be truth in that, think she is from Woodstock era... try some song from that era, Joni Mitchell just maybe .
Me to, discovered her about 3 years ago. I listen to Kate when I'm working because I lose myself in her voice - angelic.
Who else has to cry while listening? Beautiful.
it came close

She always touches my heart

What a beautiful voice! She pours her soul in every tune... 💖So thankful for her timeless legacy. This world needs desperately more artists like her.
I agree, Claudia
This is one of the most beautiful love songs ever.
It is so unbelievable great to hear with my 78 years such a great voice. Guess it's the best I've ever heard maybe in my whole life.
I love TH-cam. To find gems like these that I never heard before. Just incredible music.
Absolutely agree with you !!!

Music has healed my soul many many times. How could I have never heard of Kate wolf! She doesn’t have glitz and fireworks. Her voice is the magic!
I concur
The best music I heard for many years
today it is my first time listening,and I lovew her
Just recently discovered her.I love her blinking green eyes. 😍
Me too, I've never heard her before.
Just found her music this morning.... a lost treasure!
Aye every now and then
Welcome to the voice of an angel.

Por fin supe 😢el año en que nos dejó. Lamento no averla conocido antes. Desde el valle del Anáhuac México.
Too young to go x 😢
I just discovered Kate Wolf at 38. One of the most beautiful voices I have heard.
Wow. Where have I been? First time I've heard this lovely sweet voice. Passed at 44? My, what a tragedy. Thumbs down? Really. My God this world has become so damn cruel.
Some people just have no taste, that or a "tin ear". This song is a masterpiece.
Kate and her music were a gift to all of us.
never ever from me.........
I listen to this over and over again her voice so beautiful.....
I do so !
I agree with everyone's comments about Kate but just want to put in a word for that guy's beautiful harmonies...

par hasard j'ai découvert cette chanteuse , hélas disparue depuis longtemps, on se laisse bercer par sa voix , sa musique , ses mélodies, du bonheur!
A great singer appears to effortlessly achieve perfection. Kate certainly had this gift. RIP
I just discovered her three weeks ago and I haven't stopped listening. So pure.

I didn't know I went to listen to a few titles, her voice is a little higher than Kate Wolf's, she reminds me a bit of Joan Baez.
It is true that in France we are far from familiar with the American folk repertoire of yesterday and today, which must be very rich.
It's a great discovery!!! THANKS !! 🙏
I heard of Kate wolf. This is the first time I am hearing her performance. I am sorry she passed away at age 44. I want to convey my condolences and express my heartfelt sympathy to her family, friends and relatives.
Green eyes is such a beautiful song and we had the privilege of hearing Kate singing it at our Folk Club In Cramlington.
Would love to have heard her in the flesh. A fellow Cramlingtonite
Had the pleasure and privilege of seeing her perform at Freight and Salvage in Berkeley, CA, way back in the day (early/middle 80s). So it was just before her tragic death in 1986. My friend and I went up to the stage after her performance to thank her for her music. She then graciously signed the album we had just bought. She told my friend, "Oh, you have such beautiful earrings!" My friend promptly took them off and gave them to Kate. Kate didn't want to accept them saying, "Oh, they are much too beautiful to give away." My friend said, "It's a small exchange for all the pleasure you've brought me with your music. Please. Take them. It would make me so happy." Kate smiled beautifully and put the earrings on there and then. A precious memory!
Magic
What a lovely memory!
Beautiful.
WHat a memory. That is when life is the best. Former strangers exchanging love.
A beautiful story thank you
Her music is deep meaningful, sorry not English speaking but want to say she is wonderful
Tres Bien!🇲🇫
Dale yes her music is very pretty
@@anneoboyle8447 wonderfully French, Anne, At a recent music meeting a friend friend sing this in French...It was amazing
Message recieved.
You say everything, my friend.
This is almost too emotionally pure and open to handle.
I think that's what makes it so memorable, I come back here again and again to hear it, as many say they do. The lyrics are simple yet connect so deeply. maybe the best love song ever written
never heard Kate before. What an amazing voice.
Ian Dickinson
Listen to her words. Listen to Nina Gerber.
Ian Dickinson not just a voice or performer but with the 'heart of a poet,' she writes the best lyrics.
Same here Ian. Dont know how she slipped past my "radar" And how about that singing harmony with that Bass player. I am really so taken with her performance. Beautiful lady too.OHHH I just saw in one of the comments she dies in 86. Terrible loss. I guess that explains a lot, huh?
Me neither. I think I must Lead a sheltered life. I will definitely look for more of her singing.
Not only could her singing get a statue choked up, she definitely had a way with that guitar. Rest in Eternal Peace, sweet one.
this kind of warm voice will soothe many hearts
What a beautiful wonderful soul this girl had...life just ain't fare....she should still be here writing more
of these Fantastic pieces!
Great singing. I also Like Émy Lou Harrison.
Emmy Lou Harris
Everything about the Late Ms. Wolf was beautiful and perfect. Like Eva Cassidy , Amy Winehouse and Karen Carpenter she never gets old.
I am just discovering this angel who was taken way too soon. The words are piercing. Thank you Kate for this gift you left for us.
Ive just discovered her now. Similar to joan Baez
Love Kate's voice and "Green Eyes".
Wife passed away almost 15 years ago. Regret not knowing of Kate then. Beautiful voice.
Voix de velours, murmurée, jeux de guitare dépouillés, un régal. Merci merci les artistes.
Never heard of this beautiful lady before, sadness, beauty, prayer to her! Thank for your beautiful songs🥰
She died of cancer. Her children have brought her music back.
She passed mamy years ago from a system failure WHAT AN INCREDIBLE LOSS!!
Bella, muy bella canción, amo esto🌷🙏🏼❤
I know right. I'm 50, and I've never heard this song before finding it on YT this year. How is that possible? It's so beautiful.
Which lady?
I must be addicted to KATE'S music. .because I can't stop listening to it. Her voice is beautiful and her lyrics are mesmerizing. She is quite unique with her musical talents.
Yes , so it is !
Kate was versatile, deep feeling and unique. Touched many hearts through her songs, music and voice . Gifted.
Quelle voix magnifique, quelle belle chanson d'amour, j'en frissonne. Elle me transporte littéralement 🙏 R. I. P Kate
This lady could really sing. A massive talent. Such a shame we had to lose her so early. I miss her!!
No idea that she ever lived. Just heard her just now for the first time. She‘s so impressive... The good always go too young. But a part of her is still here. With us. Thanks for being with us.
Probably Kate was just keeping on...
She had cancer and continued to perform till her end.
What a true performer. 💪
This has really touched me Victor. I just lost my Mom, I was holding her hand as I saw her take her last breath. It was the greatest honor I've ever felt in my life. I hope the year has been kind to you in your grieving process as I hope mine will be as my year has just begun.
As I play this song over again here's to you Kay and Jackie. You are still deeply loved.
One day you will meet again. 💖
On another Kate Wolfe rabbit hole after Nanci's passing. A number of years ago (thinking about it it's probably nearly 30!) I was at an Eric Bogle concert in London...and got him to sign the cover of Poets Heart (written about him by Kate). God she was so good
Gorgeous harmony between these two, thank you for posting this great music.
I'm walking the same path, watching small pieces of my wife's memories and cognitive abilities slip through our fingers. We listen to Kate and find solace there. Even as her beautiful eyes miss more and more.
My heart goes to you- both.
I feel your love and devotion and it moves me to tears.
I have a brain injury, early dementia may be my fate.
So sorry. God bless her and you.
L'écouter à chaque fois et un saut au paradis.sublime voix et quel talent!
did you hear her start this song....that perfect tone, perfect voice....she got me on the first word
Andrew Prokopis happened to me exactly the same way. Never heard of her before, I’m now hooked on all her songs, finding new ones every time I go digging, wonderful stuff.
@@philgillmartin5053 She had me at the first note she played on the Guitar
nice voice and harmony - either it's very fine production quality or those are some fine guitars too, very nice tone. glad to find this.
@@philgillmartin5053 Me too!
i felt just the same
Kate, wherever you are now I just wanted to tell you, your angelic voice is like a warm blanket that comforts me....
This tune will follow me into eternity. What a songwriter, what a person. Many years after she left us she still is here. I do not believe in God, but let him/her watch over Kate’s soul.
First time I have heard this beautiful song with such a amazing singer and band. I lost my 21 yr old daughter 9 years ago . And this song reminds so much of her. We all find comfort and solace in certain songs. And this song is one of those that means so much too so many on many different levels.
God bless you for bringing this song to the world.
Kate Wolf has been an enigma for me...everytime I find something I havent heard by her before it resonates for me in a way only one other artist ever has...I dont know how to give higher praise than that. Her music always touches me, nearly always moves me...another great loss of talent to the perils that life presents. Her appearance in my life at opportune moments speaks to a greater plan I dont understand or crazy happenstance. I have to wonder by what logic many others were allowed to live (myself included) and she was taken so early. Clearly a mystery and tragedy of chance or an act of a god I dont understand. But in spite of the confusion about her, I am absolutely soul bound to her music in a way that is in itself incomprehensible. And I will accept that and be grateful for it.
Like they say,"The good they die young". Maybe some day we will know why, but it won't be on this earth.
That was beautifully written
So well said
10 years this has been posted..how many times has it haunted me...how many times have I returned to listen...
Ya gotta wonder how radio can even exist, when you have to go to YT for real music.
Watched this concert, with Nina Gerber, in stripes, riffing, on KERA Dallas. This was ‘82 or ‘83. I was in tears. I wrote her, and the return mail from her son, told me that she was very sick. Shortly after she died of leukemia, I believe. There will never be another lady story teller like her. Her ease of delivery makes her very credible. Requiescat In Pace, sweet soul.
Actually this was 1986.
The most beautiful voice. -eternal peace Kate Wolf
Like Garrison Keillor once said about her: "Ah, that voice." She was a wonderful and gifted performer. Rest in Peace, Kate.
Kates voice, is ethereal, haunting, and this beautiful ballad, is really her song. It just re-enforces the saying that it’s beautiful music makes the human spirit soar forever upwards.
❤❤❤❤
My husband and I have always loved her music. Gone way too soon. We used to say she and John Denver would have been so good together.
this isn't just a music, this is dreaming, living, hoping, feeling....and, and, and.....
What a beautiful song, beautiful music, beautiful words, beautiful woman.
I listening to this at least once a day.The voice is so memorable and her lirics so poetic.Such a beautiful clear voice, soothing the soul.I love these songs, and I love Kate...from Chicago, Illinois. Greetings.
Oh, how beautiful. And what a haunting voice, bravo Kate.
💯🎼🎵
@@Leifkarlssonbrastaleif I come back to this performance time and again, just love it so.
This album was recorded live at Austin City Limits in 1985, at the peak of Kate's career, not long before she was diagnosed with the leukemia that took her from us. I was lucky enough to see her at McCabe's in Santa Monica in the early 1980s, and lucky enough that she sang her all-time hit "Give Yourself to Love" and my fave, "The Trumpet Vine." Two warmer songs I never heard. When she passed, Garrison Keillor played her "Give Yourself to Love" and spoke a brief, moving tribute to her that left no eyes dry.
Her voice is so lovely, I felt so peaceful listening to this, but it's pretty sad
Love her beautiful voice but have never heard about her
What do you admire most about her?
I’m glad I stumbled onto this video. It’s the first I’ve heard of Kate Wolf and I can feel the U.S.A soul in her.
Beautiful and calm.
Just what we all need these days, it makes me want to visit 👏🏻👏🏻
I have only discovered this gem now. Absolutely love her music and I was saddened when I learned she had died so young.
She is new to me. Her voice captivates the sad times in life. For those of us who know the pain loss brings.
I just love how peaceful her voice sounds
So touching, and her voice is so lovely wow this is pretty sad
But have never heard about her before,
Who's she?
Simple music can make you sing simple hug can make you feel better simple things can make you happy, i hope my simple Hello brings smile to your face!....
My very first time to hear of her only to find out that she's gone. A beautiful discovery. Rest in peace Kate.
I cant tell how much I love her warm voice , love and respect from Iran
RIP kate wolf🌷
Just as sweet as can be. The highest quality of folk music is painfully romantic,and that's it.
❤
Every night we light the candle
That stands beside our bed
But sometimes the flame's too much to handle
That's what you said
That's what you said
And you should know
Because you built a fire in me and you made it burn
You followed me watching every move
Matching every turn
Your green eyes, they don't miss a thing
They hold me like the sun going down
Warm me like a fire in the night
Without a sound
You were waiting till I heard
Just as patient as that love light in your eyes
You never threw away a word
Or ever talked in a disguise
I ought to know
You were a beacon to a sailor lost at sea
I saw it in your eyes when you looked at me
So openly
Your green eyes, they don't miss a thing
They hold me like the sun going down
Warm me like a fire in the night
Without a sound
The first time I ever saw your laughter
Break loose inside and tumble out to me
My heart knew it had found what it was after
And it came so easily
We should know
After all the years of the hard and heavy times
Now, our days go by like best friends' story lines
Yours and mine
Your green eyes, they don't miss a thing
They hold me like the sun going down
Warm me like a fire in the night
Without a sound
Without a sound
Thank you.
I've found that:
at about 0:56 is _You should know_
at about 1:16 is _Green eyes, they don't miss a thing_
at about 3:58 is _After all the years of the hard and lonely times_
Cheers.
A beautiful song. Crystal clear voice, terrific melody and chords sequence, velvet harmony, profound lyrics, resulting in magical piece of music.
I have never heard of this lady before, this song is sheer beauty, it is a bright shining diamond of a song, what a voice it is stunning
This song speaks to your heart & soul. Thank you, Kate!😊🙏
Her music always reminds me of an old house with high ceilings , windows open and a breeze blowing.
My parents house. Took all my savings to renovate it.
Found memories.
Costs a fortune to mantain.
Rent it out to cover the costs.
Villa Gardenia, Curacao.
What sound and fond memories this song awaken.
Life was not so bad at all as a kid, I realize now.
A great way to reflect on Kate's songs!
@@spoedexploten I'm actually experiencing the same thing right now with my grandparents house,which I bought.
@@ronaldstoessell3338 I'm 49 and discovered Kate's music about 3 years ago. I'm geared more for rock/country,but she blew me away.

Sad for me. I just discovered Kate Wolf today, and found out immediately that she is no longer with us. Same thing happened to last year with me with Eva Cassidy. Never knew about either of them, fell in love with their voices and arrangements and then ... gone! Weird. Thanks to Kennethrm3 for posting this!
A voice like Eva's comes along once a generation. Maybe. If w're lucky. The record industry completely missed the boat with Eva. She was not easily 'categorized' (too eclectic), so they never picked her up. Wht a goddamn shocking waste, no....?
Same here, and we aren't the only ones. Odd that.
That's what happened to me today. Sad and beautiful. I needed this, though.
Same here. So sad.
7 years later. I discovered Kate Wolf too. Far, far to late. Beautifull!! We will remember her beautifull songs, performance because of TH-cam! Thanks!
Kate , you were so beautiful , in many ways . . . I’m still saddened by your passing , way too soon . I’m so thankful that many of your videos are available for us fans to enjoy , to cherish. At least in this way you live on , and that makes me smile , in a sad way . George Lewis, Sr.
George - I stumbled upon Kate just recently. I was saddened to learn of her death at such a young age. My friend, Darden Smith, happened to be traveling that night with Nina Gerber (Kate's lead guitarist) when the news came through of her death. He said the next several hundred miles were just an awkward silence as they contemplated Kate and her legacy. She touched so many through her music and seemed like a wonderful human being. Rest always in peace Kate!
Kate Wolf wrote so many awesome songs. This is one of my favourites.
Sometime to believe she has been gone for so many years. I wish there had been a cure for her, she died way too young.
I was a child of the sixties, love all of the folk singers. Thought i had heard all of them, but heard this first time a month ago. Dug out my guitar and have been practising my fingerpicking. What beatuful lyrics. Victor, what a beatiful soul you have
Her voice is so lovely, I felt so peaceful listening to this, but it's pretty sad
Love her beautiful voice but have never heard about her
What do you admire most about her?
Simple music can make you sing simple hug can make you feel better simple things can make you happy, i hope my simple Hello brings smile to your face!...
Look!!!!!
The good old days!
No mobile phones up in the air recording, but every one watching, enjoying the concert!
And no hollorin' and idiots screaming just to be heard..
Amen to that- -simple and pure🙏
How the hell can anybody give this a thumbs down. Unbelievable, shame on you 🙁
They who dislike this beautiful piece of work must be Orcs,or some sort of nasty piece of work.
The Miss Grundy's who cannot stand her. She is sadly missed, but had a significant impact on music in her short life and was nominated to the Hall of Fame the year after she passed away from Leukemia in 1986. Those who attack her only reveal their own smallness and lack of character and accomplishments.
Truly freaky that such creatures could walk amongst us. USA !
How come it still says 2 replies. Now there's 4 !
Same people that would give a thumbs down to a free meal.
ich fand kate durch zufall in meiner playlist was für eine wunderschöne melancholische stimme pure harmonie
One of the most beautiful live performances of a beautiful song by a beautiful lady taken too soon.
One of the most beautiful songs ever. Beautifully performed. She was taken from us far too soon.
How did I miss this wonderful voice over the years? Glad I lived long enough to finally find it. In so many voices, some are uniquely special.
That makes about 4 of us and I've been here only 5 minutes. Very odd !
@@gerardvaughan1847 Count me in today. Funny how that happens. How happy to have run across this lovely lady singing this sweet song.
@@cashopa
Yes same here, and like the guy above, though I don't have so much time for it since having to busk 🎻 in Veliko Turnovo, 7-10 years ago, I have always loved those Irish trad. Jigs and reels. Hard to believe the years that have flown, and that she died so young, but anyway - we "met" at last thank TH-cam and it's Uploaders !
I hope One day sanity will return to this Earth, and give room for some Music !!
Totally beautiful soulful voice projecting kindness and honesty. I play all tracks in my workshop all day and the place becomes quiet and work becomes a pleasure. RIP wonderful woman
Everything about this song is perfect! This is such a gem thank you so much Kate
Lovely greeting from Finland. Just lately I found this beautiful singer and the song of Kate Wolf. Although I have travelled around the world and heard many many singers I never happened to hear her beautiful voice before. Best luck and God's blessing to Kate Wolf! further more!
