Karla's version of this traditional song, The Water is Wide, has become a staple of her concerts for many, many years. It is usually how she ends the show. Originally recorded on the Restless Nights album, it featured James Taylor, Garth Hudson, and Don Henley. Many contemporary singer-songwriters have embraced Karla's beautiful arrangement as inspiration for their own interpretation of the song. Joining Karla on lead guitar is Nina Gerber, her extraordinary accompaniest for many years. FUN FACT: The song was featured on The Wonder Years and Alias.

Karla deserves to be much more famous than she is. And the same goes for Nina, a brilliant instrumentalist.
Fame perhaps is’nt everything?
Fame, who fuckin cares, just do your craft, fame is not fun
Wow, people looking for a word they can react on, in stead of trying to understand the essence of a comment. Apart from that: fame is a rather important factor for professional musicians.
Yes, she does !
It's just that she came along with Linda Ronstadt, Carole King, Carly Simon, and Bonnie Raitt. She is wonderful. But there were so many others.
We had this played at our wedding - her version. We play it every year on our anniversary - 31 and going strong !
LOVELY KARLA with the extraordinary NINA GERBER accompanying! Beauty full!
Close my eyes and I’m back in the 70’s. Lovely.
2:19 This Scottish Folketone is played all over the World, even Bob Dylan.
However, Karla is so fond of singing this song in her very heavenly careful way. And many artists make her version because of this.
Thank You Karla for bringing this song out into our hearts and souls....
I just saw Karla and Nina this past Friday night in Clearwater, Fl...they are magical together.✨🌛
Let me just come back and say, after listening again, Nina is the best lead guitar ever, and I say that as a long time lead guitar. Because she knows that solos and accompaniment are more than fuzz and flash; they are taste, finesse and beauty, just like how she plays here.
Yes, like there's a reason for every note. Not just how fast and how many notes you can play.
So pure. More gorgeous than with James and JD. Stunning guitar.
Dear Karla, I’ve been listening to you for 40 years and I still love you more and more. This version is ideal, you, your guitar and Nina, Perfect match.
A French fan
40 years is about right for me as well. Karla captured my heart forever - this song the most.
Saw her in concert last Friday night. This video was 2 yrs ago and she hasn't missed a beat! Nina Gerber - brilliant as well. Always brings tears to my eyes.
💖💖💖
For about 40 years, Karla, you have been in my heart and in my mind with your compositions and your ideal voice.
Keep healthy and never stop, please!
I absolutely love this rendition. Brava!
I love that song & it makes me think of someone I hold dear. And the brilliant towering otherworldly instrumentalist, creating such beauty through pain.
There is no more perfect performance than this!❤❤❤
Her songs and voice comfort me,ease my mind.I am listening to her songs almost everyday these days.
Beautiful!!!!
My favorite performance by Karla Bonoff. Perfect artistry!! Was fortunate to see this show in Austin several years ago.....
You could sing the phone book, Karla, and I'd be enraptured. Shout out to Nina, too: so tasteful, such a soft touch, a fabulous accompanist. Thanks to you both for making this passage we've all been forced into less discomforting.
Nina compliments you well---nice team.
Her version of this song has always been my favorite of anyone's. Nina Gereber is one of the most tasteful players out there!
The voice of an angel, that's what we need these days......
Greatest's singer,the greatest song😍
I just love your voice Karla, so clear and direct, in perfect tune and timing. The song is brilliant and so is the guitar playing of your backing.
Karla Bonoff rendition of WATER IS WIDE, is the best for me. I Love how she caress the word. Very sweet and sincere ❤❤❤
Many of us are just discovering your Five-Minute Concert Tour, Karla! Please, please keep it up - SO uplifting in these horrible times.
Damn right they're horrible, and by now, even worse!
Absolutely fantastic
wonderful!!! and Nina Gerber too!!!!
Wow! Karla's voice! No change at all over the years. Brilliant.
I'm 18 but I found this song's really pleasing 😊😊
Why say “but”? Isn’t it beautiful irrespective of age? Just asking…
it was a mistake, I suppose to type AND not BUT so.
Wow - I had this on a record, years ago and it had someone singing close harmony - sounded like James Taylor. Has stuck ijn my mind for all these years. Now refreshed, As anther comment said below - Karla's version is without doubt the best I've ever heard. Thanks!
Very awesome! Nina is one of the greats!
SAW HER IN A SMALLVENUE IN THE 80'S ,, SHE PLAYED THE ORGAN THEN ....................SHE WAS AWESOME
Karla, I've been a solid and undying fan since I heard the first note from Restless Nights and like perfection it never fails to make me stop what I'm doing and listen to every note, sung and played. Priceless treasures.
I’m humbly requesting that Karla extend her Five-Minute Concert Tour beyond next week, until further notice, held over both by popular demand and by necessity. Her weekly performances, solo or with Nina, have been a pure and delightful lungs-expanding oxygen during a time that this entire world has either been holding its breath or hyperventilating. If the water is a fraction as wide, and deep, as Karla’s gift for music, then it’s doing very well indeed.
I second, held over indefinitely by overwhelming acclaim!
@@williamgarvy1393 And I move we make it unanimous! When Karla sings, the room goes quiet. We want to hear every blessed note. And Nina's guitar helps bring subtle but essential mood and emotion to every song.
Dave Stubbs I agree, Karla please extend these sessions. Dave, I always love what you write regarding Karla. I don’t think that I could capture her essence as well as you do. What a wonderful, beautiful and gifted artist. I can’t get enough. I have tickets to see her perform at the end of July and I pray that the universe will cooperate.
@@marymuller1062 Mary, thank you for your kind words. Karla has long been my go-to artist when I've needed to restore a bit of balance, but never more than during these past two remarkable months. If Karla doesn't extend her video concert tour, there is plenty of her music to enjoy, which I most happily consume in a dark room under headphones, the aural experience richest when every other sense is turned off.
I was a pup when I bought "Restless Nights". And when the (vinyl) album got to the last track on the last side, I couldn't believe my ears. I'll never forget what an impression it made on me. Her version of this classic song has always been my favorite. What a beautiful collection of songs, Karla. Thank you.
Beautiful moving and perfection thank you both ❤💖
Thanks Karla. Very beautiful. Keep 'em coming!
Thank you. Love that song forever.
Super 👍🏼
What a gift from God!
很美的歌曲，深情地演唱，谢谢！

Makes me cry every time I hear this beautiful song.
Great voice and great guitar .Love from Denmark
A boat that can carry two.. and both shall row...

😭🙋♂️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
발아래 흘러가는 낙동강 강물은 오늘도 조용히 소리소문없이 바다로 향하고 있다
내 청춘이 우물속 깨끗한 샘물인줄 알았건만 흐르고 흐른 작은 냇물이었다
곧 샘은 마르고 우물을 퍼 날랐던 이들은 떠나겠지
세상엔 영원한 것이 없듯 우린 잠시 머물다가 떠나는 나그네인걸..
Nina is Jeff Beck/Mark Knopfler good on that track. Superb.
If you like this song, Eva Cassidy does a version that is equally moving.
Does anyone know what guitar she is playing?
Collings..great guitars from Austin
@@KarlaBonoffMusic Cool thanks, I have this song on repeat because I love it so much!
@@KarlaBonoffMusic Looks like a Martin!
A MODERN LYRIC WRITTEN TO THIS TIMELESS MUSIC
TO FATES UNKNOWN
WE'RE BORN TO LIFE TO FATES UNKNOWN
WHO WILL WE BE THE YEARS WILL SHOW
WILL WE GROW IN TRUTH OR LIVE IN LIES
WILL WE LIVE IN LOVE OR LOVE NEVER FIND
HOW FATE IS STRANGE HOW LIFE SO TOO
SOME SECRET TRUTH SO MAKES THE RULES
YET LOVE IS TRUTH AS TRUTH IS LIGHT
THE DAWN WILL COME THOUGH DEEP THE NIGHT
WHO WILL WE BE DO WE EVER KNOW
TAKES MORE THAN MIRRORS OUR TRUTH TO SHOW
IN EACH REFLECTION WE FIND THRU LIFE
WILL WE LIVE IN LOVE OR LOVE NEVER FIND
WE'RE BORN TO LIFE TO FATES UNKNOWN
WHO WILL WE BE THE YEARS WILL SHOW
WILL WE GROW IN TRUTH OR LIVE IN LIES
WILL WE LIVE IN LOVE OR LOVE NEVER FIND
WILL WE LIVE IN LOVE OR LOVE NEVER FIND

Probably the most beautiful rendition I ever heard. WOW!!!
Better than the record.

Karla and Nina are pure magic together. The tears are streaming down my face as I write this…this song takes me back to my introduction to Karla’s music in first-year university (1975). It hit me where I lived then - and it still does to this day. I am a Canadian…seeing these two live is on my bucket list…
for me one of the most beautiful songs ever written. karla bonoff is made for this song.
Out of the many other versions of this old folk song, Karla's is always going to be my favorite.
Love from Oregon!
me too.
Very nice. The guitarist Nina absolutely nailed every bit of that song together. Creamy smooth and spot on.
1 acoustic guitar, 1 electric guitar, a wonderful voice and a fantastic song. It's unbelievable that something like this still exists today, when today's so-called music sounds like traffic jams...
Traffic jams works. I always thought industrial noise. 😀
I so adore Karla. Bravo to her for writing, singing, playing - everything. She's a genius and a great artist.
Absolutely superb performance by Karla, and especially her accompaniment by Nina Gerber. Absolute magic.
As always, thanks for sharing.
Steve
SO sweet! Your rendition has always blown me away.
You are as brilliant as I remember when I first heard you in High School...(them...30 years ago) Thank you for your timeless poetry and lovely voice! You are a treasure!
Damn, what a song! So sad, so emotional, so filled with love, so religious. "Love is gentle, love is kind when first is new. But love grows old and waxes cold, and fades away like morning dew." If no one faints, crumbles, and cried after hearing that,.......then they are not human. "The water is wide, I can't cross over, and neither have I wings to fly" Spiritual, religious,otherworldly. This is so magnificent in it's gentleness, it's hard to conceive of any song that might compare with this striking observation of life, love, and the challenges of our humanity to capture all while we have them and time to do so in this life. Thank you Karla Bonoff. A Perfect song. Never change it.
What a beautiful performance of a beautiful song! Karla and Nina! Wow!
I am amazed how two guitars, and one voice... live...
can take a song that's hundreds of years old, and sound so good!
I've listened to many versions of this song... but this performance is my favorite.
Karla is one of those artist where I don't just want to hear some hit in a playlist, I want to experience the entire album. Not many like that.
Wow! These concerts and clips have to continue. I got infected by the songs-of-Karla-Bonoff-bug in the '70s and there's still no antibiotic that can touch it.
I remember buying Karla's first two albums after first buying Linda Ronstadt's "Hasten Down the Wind" . After seeing that several songs were written by Karla for that album I had to buy her albums. I spent many a night lying in bed with my headphones on listening to the first album and the follow-up "Restless Nights". My favorites were always her slower songs... especially "The Water is Wide", "Lose Again", "Rose in the Garden", "The Letter", "Restless Nights".... the beauty of her voice and straightforward presentation of her songs was astounding! This live version shows that simple beauty that just captures the listener's attention on its own merit. I love Karla's music and so often wished for an album of new material... but I'll always cherish what we have!
She often joked about the glacial pace of her album releases
What a gift... Beautiful... Thank you!
👏
And the electric guitar... Wonderful!!!
I've loved your music for so many years now, really enjoyed this. As a bonus, that was one of the most beautiful guitar solos I've ever heard.
Many wonderful covers of this age old Scottish folk song from the 1600's. I have one of Karla's albums from the 70's. Bought it while living in the UK.(My 3 month holiday which became 7 years!!!) Listen also to Eva Cassidy version. A star whose light was taken away far too early. RIP Eva.
Karla sings most beautiful version of this classic song.
Favorite singer/songwriter ever
Inspired me to do the same and I had my 15 minutes In Philadelphia
Love listening to her heartfelt and beautiful music many years later and it all stands up very tall and proud many years later
Beautiful Karla keep making more!
I bought the album with this song on it way back in 1979. I loved it then; and you sound even better now. Thank you!
Restless Nights albumn put her on the map
No one does this old traditional song better than Karla with very tasteful playing by Nina Gerber.
