I really want to believe that when she got in her car and drove away, she finally found what she was looking for.

[@stonebrla]

I love Connie Converse. Such a tragically sad story of a talented musician who disappeared unrecognized in her lifetime. I'm just glad these recordings remain.

[@garyschneider8829]

Yes, Connie was a remarkable woman " before her time ". She may have been around longer than some had thought. Her story could be a movie.
I would like to Bob Dylan's thoughts... Thanks for sharing her music

We go walking in the dark.
We go walking out at night.
And it’s not as lovers go,
two by two, to and fro;
but it’s one by one -
One by one in the dark.
We go walking out at night.
As we wander through the grass
we can hear each other pass,
but we’re far apart -
Far apart in the dark.
We go walking out at night.
With the grass so dark and tall
we are lost past recall
if the moon is down -
And the moon is down.
We are walking in the dark.
If I had your hand in mine
I could shine, I could shine
like the morning sun -
like the sun.

*like the rising sun

[@livemusicisbetter2]

Interesting, this version says rising sun at the end, while theres a second version that says morning sun ruclips.net/video/L94IeXr2J-8/видео.html

Once you've heard her voice you don't forget it. ❤️

[@petrologyboy]

My emotional responses to this song are among the most intense I've experienced from music. I especially love what her guitar is doing alongside her vice. Beautiful bass notes, beautiful chord changes....she is awesome.

[@petrologyboy]

"alongside her voice."

[@russt44]

Beautifully stated

[@zenomaxable]

This is the most extraordinary song from a corpus of extraordinary songs. Existential sadness......

[@ImnotassweetasIusedtobe]

Why does this version sound so good? Beautiful video ❤

[@GildaTabarez]

I've never been so moved by just a voice and a guitar.

[@rubyfriedmanorchestra1]

Obsessed !!!

[@johnfern]

This is one of my favorites ❤

[@speckofdust272]

Magical …so talented … she needs to be better known … what a sad loss

[@buddyiodine]

beautiful, heartbreaking, crushingly sad

[@AMXTomzo]

Thank you very much keeping this song up, it means a lot to me.

[@daveysaturn7232]

This version is so much better than the record version! Absolutely beautiful

[@michaelmcdonald8452]

It’s always interesting to hear an unheard song or a different take from Connie but it surprises you hear enough of a difference in this version to consider it “so much better.” 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@Steve-ix2un]

I am impressed.

[@maggiebalistreri]

"if the moon is down / and the moon is down"

[@dalesworld1308]

Thank you David. I've never heard of her - reminds me of Molly Drake.

[@livemusicisbetter2]

Both Connie and Molly have been covered by the Unthanks, as you may know

[@RachelMasonRocks]

thank you David.

[@psirou]

Simply...
Thank you!

[@rickmcnelly]

Love the visuals!

[@AenilM]

David's wife, and my best friend, Anne, took the photographs. She died July 21, 2019.

[@Richard_Lush]

You can see where Joni Mitchell probably got some of her ideas from. Similar lyrics. I think it’s Roaming Woman especially.

[@asura3605]

can somone link or write the lyrics some of the words are hard to understand, am in love with this song i was listening to it the whole day i cant stop.

[@TheStrangeholder]

I wonder where would she be right now ?

[@RachelMasonRocks]

+Angelito manzor I have wondered the same thing!!!

[@marie-clairefakkel7705]

Connie Converse disappeared and was never found.

[@AugustMeteors]

She'd be about 94.

[@SpangSisters]

hey man my name is also rachid and i also like connie converse

[@MatthewMalone]

this sounds a nice bit different than the version that squirrel thing records uploaded. is there more than one recordings of her tunes? anywhere to get mp3s? also, really great video!

[@xxsilentreatmentxx]

It's definitely different, this ends with "rising sun" and the record version is "morning sun"

[@Derek032789]

I’d like to think she found what she was looking for when she drove off, but I doubt it. I think she died by suicide a few years after leaving.

[@williambullock4077]

I am sorry. I think her storyline has a mystic to it, but I can understand how she did not make it past the lofts and coffeehouses she played in. Her voice is like fingernails raking a chalk board.

[@HorribleHomeVideo]

i wonder if her story wasn "tragic" just how much people would say her music is brilliant. its.. ok at best.

[@iainbrown4069]

She was a he

[@neconeconeco]

connie was very much a woman, who was born as a woman? did you hear a woman singing in a deeper tone and put your conspiracy hat on?
