    Im 71. Heard this a time ago. I never thought of myself as getting older. Then one day you look in the mirror and wonder who that is. Then you survive cancer and then lookin perfect doesn't take up much of your time. Bosses in their 40s and 50s driven to get that next thing. Then tonight I happened to find this and am glad I stopped by. With the anger in this world just getting more widespread it's nice to let some air out of the balloon.

    I said my mom's eulogy this past Wednesday. I had them play this arrangement when I was through. I told the people in attendance, I will always remember my mom's incredible spirit, zest for life and in my mind, forever young. She died peacefully at age 102 and a few months. Been a week, still tough, miss ya mom, but I am glad I had you all these years and the world is happy too. May God's Blessing keep you always.

    Joan Baez has the voice of a nightingale. She discovered Bob and introduced him to Newport, she was the older woman star. She was in love with him, and she sings his songs so beautifully. This brings tears so gorgeous. I want to sing it to my precious little grandson Thais only 18 months old now.

    I'm 77 soon. I remember Joan as a hippie from Palo Alto High. She was a few years older than I was (maybe 5 or 6?), and I was at Cubberley High across town. She had graduated but my older sister's boyfriend knew her and had played a little guitar with her once, or so he said at the time. She was already a great singer. Those were good times. She certainly did a lot more for our generation than most.

    A blessing and a prayer. I was there when her career took off and saw her introduce the world to Bob Dylan when he opened for her at an early performance mid 60's. He was electrifying. I can't explain it. This is maybe the greatest song he ever wrote. But Baez alone made it iconic. We all need to hear this once in a while just to be filled with the love and grace it brings.

    Smooth, silky and crispest voice imaginable. My song drummed into my kids in the days after 9/11, returning from Ground Zero searching. They were 6 and 4 then and saw "Daddy crying". Now, they instantly tear up with this and especially her Amazing Grace rendition.

    I play this song to my three daughters every time on their respective birthdays. I have done that since they were little and it has become part of our birthday tradition as much as silent night is of Christmas. And it always tears me up, because it so apt and so beautifully sung.

      @09Independent09 2 года назад

      I send a recording of it every year to my granddaughters, too! I wish they were close enough for me to play it for them. And it makes me cry too. I hope by the time they really grow up they'll understand why I've sent it, and how deeply a parent or grandparent wishes these things for the children they love.

    This song hit straight through my heart.At 71 yrs old it hit straight to my heart as I too am a Cancer Survivor of 21 yrs only by God's Grace.
    My turning point came by denying God at my dying Mom's deathbed in hospital watching her suffering and pleading that He take her home to eternal life. I literally gave up on Him and promised not to return to that sickbed. He's response was immediate as I looked up into His Glorious countenance as He said "NOW YOU WILL SEE MY GLORY" What a Glorious God moment - I just knew that He had heard and would answer my prayer.
    I calmed down and prayerfully watched as at that very moment He took her Home to Rest Eternally Amen.
    We serve a living God who still hears and answers our prayers. THANK YOU MERCIFUL FATHER GOD Amen
