I lost my mom last June. I buried her on my 20th birthday. My relatives literally had a lit cake for me at the wake. She was the only person i truly had in this world. She died suddenly of a heart attack at 56. This song reminds me of her❤️
I'm still grieving my greatest love, my best friend, my mother. It will be 12 years in November and I ache for her as if I lost her recently. She was the only human to truly love and like and accept me. I feel broken. I'm sending love. I don't know what else I can do.
I'd like to know what about this reminds you of her, if you don't mind saying. My heart always feels broken. I feel very sad that your mother was so young. My mother was 76, and that feels far too young.
@@RebeccaLynnMusic It's always a terrible loss; always too early. I think the loss will always be with you when you lose someone really close, let alone your mom; that's as deep a connection as one can have. However, I do think it's important to find peace within yourself, and I wish you and the other person who started the thread, good luck with that; please lean on the people who care about you. It is worrying to me if you really believe nobody else cares, accepts and lives you; I hope you're exaggerating, because while the love of one's mother may be unique and irreplaceable, you are undoubtedly loved and cared about by other people if you're not a hermit. If you are then you'll need to get out there and let other people into your life. But it's far more likely that you already have multiple people that care about you and love you. 12 years is too long to get stuck in grief; sometimes you have to force yourself to move forward and find other people to bring you joy again. It doesn't take anything away from the special relationship you had with her, but life is to be lived, not spent missing all those who pass. After all, we could spend all our time sad; life is 100% terminal, and getting stuck in grief means refusing to accept the basic facts; everyone and everything is slipping away, and the only thing we can change is whether to enjoy the ride or spend the precious life you still have, regretting the fact that it's over too quickly. I think the best therapy for grieving people is to find other people in far worse shape than yourself and help them; sometimes you just need to be reminded of the fact that there is always a need for a person who is kind and wants to alleviate suffering. Other than that, I suggest looking into the incredible things being done with therapeutic micro-dosing of psilocybin mushrooms.
What can I say. Sitting here with a pint of beer and a Jim Beam and listening to this beautiful piece. Such wonderful music from such wonderful talented people
If Carla Bley never wrote another song, this would be enough to remember her as one of the greats in contemporary music. But she does and has done so, so very much more. Nevertheless, this is about this song. Simple and complex. The notes and chords are spare yet lush, sophisticated yet accessible. The tempo, haunting yet uplifting. Steve Swallow's bass lines are so perfect throughout and his solo is so touching and his technique is so impressive. I don't know if this song makes me smile or cry. I want to play it at every meaningful event, behind every meaningful media project. We ate breakfast in the same room as Carla and Steve years ago in a Maine hotel one morning. I was so nervous. I never said hello or what a fan I was. But what a smile to be there and soak up the same space. This performance is really nice and matches the beauty of the album cut, even with only two instruments. It's a joy to watch Carla play and Steve, too.
Unfortunately, I discovered your music, Carla, by chance for the first time today and was deeply moved. But I also learned that you passed away in 2023. I will forever cherish your music and the emotions it brought me. Thank you."
Rest in Peace dearest Carla beside the still waters and the river of Life Everlasting! Thanks so much for allowing us to hear this lovely song from your heart of love
I was trying to practice trumpet from the real book and this Steve swallow song came up. wound up here . I am devastated by watching this woman and listening. Who is the guy playing bass? Ha ha
I'm somewhat ashamed to admit that at the age of 48 I've only tangentially heard of Carla Bley and tonight was the first time I've ever heard this tune. My God, this might be the most beautiful piece of music I've ever heard. Simply gorgeous.
An interesting life. She played piano as a kid but not much formal training. Went to NYC and learned about jazz from her heroes in the clubs working as a cigarette girl. Later married Eric Bley, the avant-garde pianist and got married. Met Steve Swallow much later on but they have been together for a long time. The story I heard about the name of this tune was when she was in New Orleans and trying to get in touch with one of her fellow performers. When she called and asked for "Lawrence", his mother answered "oh you mean Lawns". I'm not sure if its true of course, but I believe it.
I remember when I first heard this song. Then, I suffered from breaking up with my lover. I cried a lot listening to this song. It still brings me to the time, though now I'm absolutely fine.
I found out on Instagram that you had passed away and searched for this performance on RUclips, and it was a really beautiful and gentle performance. The expression on your partner's Steve Swallow playing is amazing. A conversation between just two over music. Rest In Peace. Thank you.
I saw yesterday that Charles Lloyd had posted this on his Facebook feed. Listening to it over and over as I grieve the loss of my partner, Duke Pearson. It has given flow to my tears.
R.I.P. dearest Carla... You have been such a wonderful musician who has touched us with your beautiful themes full of inventiveness, sensitivity and emotion 😞
This, in my view, is one of those pieces that was 'discovered' by the writer, rather than composed. The chord sequence dictates the melody, dictates the chord sequence. To the listener, it feels like the piece has always existed, such is its familiarity & perfection.
Фантастическая гармония, проникающая в самые глубины души! Сколько скрытой страсти в этой мелодии! Так свои чувства может выражать только человек, искренне любящий и утонувший в море любви.
I just play this over and over and at night it's the last thing I hear before sleep-----there is just something about it which is beyond words which transcends this world and makes everything, especially now in the pandemic,seem more bearable and hopeful-------a light at the end of the tunnel
I have a hard time catching my breath when listening to this tune. Unbelievable what a properly placed collection of notes and fiery passion can do to to the human spirit.
This sound like when the Lord told the sea to "peace be still" Humanity is liked unto the sea. This is so beautifully inspiring me. This is beauty thought the storms of raging seas. It can all merge in a beautiful composition.
I've been loving Carla's music for over 20 yrs. and looking for this video, one of my favorite songs. One of my dreams is to see her in concert! Thanks for posting it.
I really wish i knew how i discovered this song. Its so different from my usual listens, but its something that i know i instantly loved it when i heard it
This is what real music is i hate to sound cliche but real artists arent about appearing in magazines and reality tv shows. They dont care about their appearance as much but dont have to because its that that makes them appealing. Their music is art, their music makes them look beautiful too. They arent facing the crowd looking to be accepted. This says,we dont need your approval, let us enjoy playing our music and you enjoy it too. If i saw this live my jaw would be on the floor and id be wiping the tears from my eyes.
This is an AMAZING performance. So real. Great piece. I have been a huge fan of Carla and her amazing span of music. She's a great inspiration. I also love how she has so wonderfully set Steve up with so many wonderful worlds to play in. What a great couple. These are two of my musical heroes. Thanks for posting. Long live music that is free, explorative, and soulful.
The miracle of love trough music. Carla and Steve playing "Lawns" to eternity. I'm sorry, too many words for such a musical miracle. Greetings from the portuguese north atlantic shore.
man, i getting to a level on guitar , people may judge he´s not beginner but advanced, so I can feel music and can give a bit of my emotions .... but this ... oh my goodigoodyness ... music and feelings are so hard connected, musicans are not able to control their body or behavior. Humans on stage, music and sound forming a new Liveform on this stage for a while ... I think this is what every musican trying to reach .... many ppl doin meditations - but to be a real buddha - is rare ;) wow wow wow wow wow .... thank u for the music ... just my POV while listening and watching ... man the first run ... make me shiver ... so hard dude ...
It holds such beauty and tenderness in its softness and simplicity. Gorgeous. The passion between them touches me deeply. A masterpiece in many ways. ❤️🎼🎶🎶🎹🎹

It's hard to listen to this and not shed a tear today. RIP Carla! You were fabulous and a national treasure.
International treasure...
The Treasure, regardless
I didn't know she passed... wow... :(
Oh and now she`s travelled on, she gave us Lawns to keep her memory alive forever, thank you Carla Bley💖
well said. R.I.P., Carla Bley.
Rip to one of the most original voices in jazz, always moving forward, lucky to have heard this at Jazz Standard towards the end of the

This is impossibly beautiful. God's in the house.
Now(after reading your comment) I'm crying.
Rest in Peace dearest Carla beside the still waters and the river of Life Everlasting! Thanks so much for allowing us to hear this lovely song from your heart of love
Lawns. この曲は私にとってかけがえのない名曲です。
切なさで息することさえ苦しくなると同時に、他で得ることのできない安らぎを感じさせてくれる、唯一無二の癒しの曲でもあります。
偉大なピアニスト、コンポーザー、アレンジャーであるカーラ・ブレイ、やすらかに❤
RIP. A true original. A treasure.
I will miss Carla and love her music for the rest of my life... She was one of the greatest composers, full stop!

Thank you for the music Carla Bley. R.I.P. ☁️🤍🌹⭐️🌌
Rest in Peace, Carla. You are one of my unsung heroes.
Steve and Carla. Among the greatest love songs ever to be heard. Among the deepest love stories ever lived. What a voice they had.
I cut lawns all summer for extra $$s and this is how I feel when they are all done. Beautiful, pristine, and perfect.
I'm somewhat ashamed to admit that at the age of 48 I've only tangentially heard of Carla Bley and tonight was the first time I've ever heard this tune. My God, this might be the most beautiful piece of music I've ever heard. Simply gorgeous.
Imagine being 67 and feeling this way.
come on. How can it be even compared to Mozart, Mahler, Bach, Vivaldi or Bruckner?

This is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard. I've got it saved in my heart.
10년 넘게 일년에 한번씩은 꼭 찾아 들어야 하는 곡 😍 몬도그로소 1974 웨이홈과 더불어서

I'm not normally a very emotional kind of guy, but I think my heart is about to explode... That was transcendent...
Rest In Peace Carla Bley 1936 - 2023. You will be missed
Lovely and full of longing. She lived the music.
Pure beauty... that makes me cry and be hopeful at the same time. RIP Carla Bley!

Sorry about your loss. Duke Pearson was a genius so was Carla. Un abrazo.
Rip Amazing woman. L'm very very sad
Rest in peace Carla Bley.
Rest In Power, Thank you for the music
She's TALKING to him- he's watching her talk to him, answering with pure joy.
The most beautiful film i have ever seen
RIP Carla. Thank you so much for the joy laughter and tears.
R.I.P. dearest Carla... You have been such a wonderful musician who has touched us with your beautiful themes full of inventiveness, sensitivity and emotion 😞
I'm floored this evening, listening to this! We all need beauty in a world not of our making. This is that beauty.
R.I.P Carla...😥

Exactly right. The perfection of inevitability.
Yes!
Thank you Carla...
The arts are so precious because our grandchildren (and theirs) can enjoy this every bit as much as we do now.
science makes life possible; art makes life worthwhile.
RIP Carla Bley, thank you for everything..😢
The most beautiful video i've ever seen........I want to live like them. I hope i could someday play music with my husband in peace.
You still married baby?

This moves me. What perfection and grace. RIP Carla

두개 궁금해요
나머지 두 곡이 있는..

또 마주치길..^^
This is sublime. I could watch it on loop.
Фантастическая гармония, проникающая в самые глубины души! Сколько скрытой страсти в этой мелодии! Так свои чувства может выражать только человек, искренне любящий и утонувший в море любви.
The beautiful detail of the syncopated chord each bar, and the harmonies!!! So much attention and tension 🫶🏼🫶🏼
RIP Carla Bley.
This music always makes me peaceful, Thank you, Carla Bley...
One of the favourite songs in my life. I can’t imagine the world without this in it.
I just play this over and over and at night it's the last thing I hear before sleep-----there is just something about it which is beyond words which transcends this world and makes everything, especially now in the pandemic,seem more bearable and hopeful-------a light at the end of the tunnel
So true :')
I do the same with a tune by Michel Columbier called Bird Song featuring Michael Brecker and Jaco . Aural beauty !
Carla thank you for sharing your gift with us❤ one love all the way from S.A.
That was really beautiful, she left the world a gift.
I have a hard time catching my breath when listening to this tune. Unbelievable what a properly placed collection of notes and fiery passion can do to to the human spirit.
RIP Carla, a true beautiful American Original.
I heard this song for the first time in 1987. never stopped thinking about this or listening to this song!
Me too. On Carla's album "Sextet", sublime.
Heart wrenchingly sublime
Soon as they hit those onions started getting sliced up everywhere. Man I can’t even see❤️🎖
Gorgeous. These two are such beautiful artists. What a beautiful song, right? :) thank you Carla and Steve. xoxoxo
Hello Cathy how are you doing hope you’re having a great time with your family may God bless you and your family
Such feeling and emotion in their playing. They squeeze a symphony out of but a few notes.
Honey, they're playing our song again. Yes, we are in it, while eternity lasts.
How much love & intelligence was inside this person...
This sound like when the Lord told the sea to "peace be still"
Humanity is liked unto the sea.
This is so beautifully inspiring me.
This is beauty thought the storms of raging seas.
It can all merge in a beautiful composition.
This is so beautiful.. you can feel the love
One of the most beautiful things I have ever heard-just beautiful!
25년째 듣는음악..
아직도 감동이...

I always come back to feel this.. Thank u Carla Bley n Steve!!
Just heard this on a jazz station in Detroit. Beautiful
I got escalator over the hill but I did not know this nostalgic master piece.
This is exactly what I wanted to hear, exactly what I was seeking for on You Tube without finding ll exact desire
Carla, the beautiful Clara with her long legs, her feline face and her golden crown , composed it, why am I not surprised ?
I realise that I have all her music to discover, I just listened thousand times escalator over the hill, I amalucky girl 😊😊😊
Right now, she is discovering other dimensions, she is free like a bird
A beautiful woman and a sensational musician! May Carla's music live on forever.
Carla's prettiest tune, played by two in love.
