When I would teach music, I'd tell students to record themselves on their first day, then a few weeks after, then months and years later, and compare. Well, Mary put all that up on RUclips and WOW...look at how far she's come all these years with passion and hard work. Fantastic.
Sometimes resilience doesn't come easily, the heart is a lonely hunter as a brilliant writer once said. The repeated lines, where the emotion just piles up, is powerful. The song and it's execution is sublime.
I swear I was at the office all this time! They have this little room with a hammock there, nice little room for late stayers, you know... and that's where I sleep while I wait for the videos to render. I swear!
This one has heart. I think that's why it has one of the highest number of views for your non-cover performances/music videos. I'm not a musician. I'm just a guy who can really love a good song. And I want to feel like the singer really means what they sing. So far (I haven't heard all your songs yet), this one does that best.
I love the way you press down on some of those early "ah" vowels... very bluesy, sets the tone... then you do that little flutter on "Side" a bit later... mixing styles to make it all yours. High pitch, "do you feel that this is right"... poignant and sharp. Then right back down to "loner"... excellent melodic range and some vocal gymnastics. Very nice.
Your range is still one of the most dynamic components of your singing talents. But your writing skills just blow away others who feel like they have to scream at the audience. This helps with the amazing vulnerability you convey in your songs while singing them. Another song that goes into my daily listening category. Thank you.
You know it's a good song when you are already singing it on the first hear, whilst it's still playing. A simple but effective video. Cracking stuff all round.
Amazing. Thank you for your talent, spent in part gifting us amazing music. Mea culpa, Lord. My story 50 yrs ago. We ask mercy, in Jesus' name. With tears.
Excellent song and lyrics. I think this song is good enough to add more than just a single accoustic accompaniment. Give it the full treatment it deserves!
Wow! Maybe not every song from Mary catches me,but her voice always does . An absolutely fascinating , wonderful, unique voice AND singing. Such a rich and detailed tone and dynamic control. Sounds very natural and clever arranged ,not forced or constructed like many other artists. That´s what i think she is wonderful. Take care. Good night
A VERY powerful performance by Mary! I've been watching her from the very start. If you've wondered how a star develops over time, I think this is an excellent example. You are beginning to post songs that I play over and over. This one and "The Great Wave" have grabbed me and won't let go. The emotions in these songs are unmistakable. You have a very authentic persona in speaking and in song. Mary, when you achieve vast public acceptance (as I believe you will), I hope you will continue to remember your current supporters on RUclips. What will you write, play, and sing for us next that will pull at our heartstrings?
Personal, emotional, earthy, real, exposed...such a soulful expression. Mary, you find a way to excel on every level of endeavor! You are inspirational.
This seems to hearken to 1980s style MTV in terms of the video style, but the musical style is a blues sound... I'm not sure we have heard anything like this from Mary before!
Gets me a goose skin....great lyrics which are a mirror for me....to be honest I was the one who was not sober every time.....thank you for that great song Mary
Why are RUclips recommendation songs always high quality?!!!! I swear this is the 3rd maybe 4th yt recommendation song I've found thats so good
Your voice Mary seems to be getting stronger and stronger. This film is emotional and one see the pain in your face.
A masterful plunge into the deep vocal register, and an irresistible, driving guitar - Mary Spender at her best.
When I would teach music, I'd tell students to record themselves on their first day, then a few weeks after, then months and years later, and compare. Well, Mary put all that up on RUclips and WOW...look at how far she's come all these years with passion and hard work. Fantastic.
That voice. Powerful and beautiful.
super! dark, smoky, rich and bold with deeeeeep with color! killah!
Sometimes resilience doesn't come easily, the heart is a lonely hunter as a brilliant writer once said.
The repeated lines, where the emotion just piles up, is powerful. The song and it's execution is sublime.
For me it's sound a lot like...you know the girl...ha yes, Mary Spender. Such a unique voice! Beautiful song
You can have a greater stronger message with fewer simpler words.
This proves it. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Just totally awesome performance. Reminds me of Alanis' breakout song. Keep amazing me.
Wow, just wow!
Moody!
Smouldering!
Haunting!
That man doesn’t deserve you.
Gorgeous
Great song!
Reminds me of vintage folk/country pop from the 70's. Carole King esque perhaps.
My morning looked exactly like this! Valley was full of clouds.
I swear I was at the office all this time! They have this little room with a hammock there, nice little room for late stayers, you know... and that's where I sleep while I wait for the videos to render. I swear!
Found her through Rick Beato. . My Lord what talent. Incredible
Great song and probably one of your best performances. You really hit all the buttons with this one.
Beautiful song and video

Hey, Mary!…Goodness knows (your ever growing fans) are out here and appreciate you… As you put yourself out there…🤗
Amazing. Thank you for your talent, spent in part gifting us amazing music.
Mea culpa, Lord. My story 50 yrs ago. We ask mercy, in Jesus' name.
With tears.
This is beyond beautiful. I'm sorry Lindsay, wherever you are 😭😭😭
Very moving... We can almost feel your pain...
Great! Less is more illustrated. Has a lot in impact like the old blues. My compliments.
You absolutely nailed the vocals on this tune Mary ! Well done
This is some smooth, smokey whisky. Pour me another.
The sultans of swing mood
Great song - the phrasing is fantastic.
I can just say one thing, after watching this video 68038 times, so f...ing beautifull!
Great song, Mary, and whoever they were, they didn't deserve you.
Your voice would be an amazing way to wake up. So smooth.
"SLEEPING TONIGHT" has been on my playlist for the last 4 weeks. Friends ask me who it is. I just say Ms. Mary Spender.
Wow. Great song and performance. I loved the various vocal inflections on the repeated lyrics. Very moving.
Thank you Mary.
Mary: very "sultry". Suits you very well! Love it!
This is so real and pure.
i hope this is the one Mary! another awesome song
Mary... Sabes como entrar en nuestros corazones...
NUNCA dejes de ser VOS.
Well Done Mary! Your Voice............, wow!
Wow what a great song 😍😍
Just wonderful. Nicely done, every bit.
Lovely tune.
As someone not sleeping by Mary Spender's side I can finally say there's a song for me
Excellent song and lyrics. I think this song is good enough to add more than just a single accoustic accompaniment. Give it the full treatment it deserves!
Great song and vídeo!! Thank you. Greetings from Catalonia!!
Holy John Cougar Melancholy Flower!
Love the minimalistic approach on every level.
Dire straits vibes at the beginning, some times the best songs are not complicated, just full of emotion and that is great.
Mary Spender could literally read from Webster's dictionary while playing the guitar and it would be a rocking good time!
Wow… you let ALL of your pain out!! Brilliant vocal!
Is that what they call a bed track? Get it? (I'm here all week) Thumbs up.
Mary!!!! impeccable editing, impeccable lyrics, wonderful music!!!! what a spectacular job! A giant hug from Brazil 🥰
Some Fleetwood Mac vibes goin' on, nice. And you finished Bill Withers' "I know..." repeated line!
Wow!
Maybe not every song from Mary catches me,but her voice always does .
An absolutely fascinating , wonderful, unique voice AND singing.
Such a rich and detailed tone and dynamic control.
Sounds very natural and clever arranged ,not forced or constructed like many other artists.
That´s what i think she is wonderful.
Take care.
Good night
Thanks Mary for another great performance. You sing from the heart and soul. Few do or can do that. Thank you for sharing!!
Great song!! Who would not stick by your side 😍🥰

Artists who can translate their pain into creative expression are gifts!
That vocal 😍😍

This seems to hearken to 1980s style MTV in terms of the video style, but the musical style is a blues sound... I'm not sure we have heard anything like this from Mary before!
