    Reminds me of Gregory Alan Isakov's Stable Song. And that is one of the highest compliments I can offer a piece of art.

    oh my goodnesss does she give me chills with this! theres just something about her and her words...there is something radio cannot ever capture..and thats the expressions ones face says.........the story of the teller! half the beauty of enjoying a song is seeing the feeling that makes u feel u know them! they lived it, breathed it, felt it..in their every word and every expression!

    Hounds are broodin' in my bones
    But I am a good dog runnin' halfway home
    Hear the lonely promenade
    Come to nurse the tender terrways
    All hands on a grain of sand;
    Half smallest things are the high demand.
    I can only serenade
    And wait my turn to burn or fade.
    All colours you can see
    Cover the borders of a masterpiece
    Time can paint the best of me
    Over the unclear eyes of memory
    All hands on a grain of sand;
    Half smallest things are the high demand.
    I can only serenade
    And wait my turn to burn or fade.
    Cover love from sympathy
    Be my maker, set me free
    Truer hearts could not contain
    How I cover love but I have not changed
    If I had the past undone
    Then I would give my heart to everyone
    Hounds are turning, doves have flown
    But I am a good dog running halfway home
    All hands on a grain of sand;
    Half smallest things are the high demand.
    I can only serenade
    And wait my turn to burn or fade.

    This has to be one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard in my life.

    Don't know how to write tabs, but she'd mostly creating the rythmic "snare drum" effect with her nails on the downstroke, while most of the individual notes are done on the lower 2/3 strings with her thumb, using the hammer-on a lot. She's playing in G with capo on the 6th fret, if you want to try playing along. The minor is the Em formation. I think it sounds better with the capo on the 1st fret and playing in C, and the minor there is the normal Am formation. Hope this helps.

    This song brings back memories of a dog we lost 2 years ago. I'm completely besides myself every time I listen.

    What a beautiful songwriter. We can all uncover the borders of our own masterpiece. Lets make it so that time might paint the best of ourselves and each other..... no fading away... Anyway, there's certainly nothing faintly faded about this woman or this music...

    Cette chanson est empreinte d'une belle et rare poésie. Vraiment touchant, droit au coeur. J'ai entendu cette semaine Geneviève Toupin chanter avec Mme Curran cette même chanson, piano et guitare, fantastique!

    A great poet! Her lyrics are obviously heavily influenenced by fellow countryman Leonard Cohen. Throw in the guitar stylings of , maybe, Garnet Rogers, you have a true Canadian folk legend to be!

    • @mumpygumboo8554
      @mumpygumboo8554 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I totally agree, Buzz Crooks. Just wow.....
      I just love the way she is so understated, just direct, modest and humble. Not a pretentious bone in her body. Great stuff! Just what's needed for a folk revival in Canada. She'll go down as a legend like Joni Mitchell, Lenny Cohen, Lightfoot, etc. in my humble opinion.

    I've been covering this song nearly nightly for over a year...it's a "masterpiece". But other than "small things", what the hell's the song about?? Too funny...I can tell the folks I'm singing-to are wondering the same thing.

    Great lyrics and a wonderful voice. But, like Ron Hynes, the "music moguls" won't know how to classify her amazing music, so she won't get any airplay outside NL. But keep at it Amelia.
