oh how I love this song and as an older woman..can tell you this is TRUTH....everyone has a light within that is good...is pure..is God less.......we are all of the one spirit
Play this at my funeral. Truer words I have never heard. Throw away your Bibles and Korans and listen to your heart. The heart never lies. "Do your God a favor". Beautiful. One of the best beautiful women I have ever seen, unbelievable voice, she was blessed and used her blessings to spread the word and change attitudes and in doing so, changed people. A life well lived. I hope in my remaining years I can find a way to a very little bit of what she did. Respect, love, kindness will eventually win. Hope is a good thing.
I've seen them many times at The Bottom Line in the Village. An American treasure. Simple beautiful voices and harmonies. Thank you for enriching our lives!
YOU know what a lucky man you are, right? The Another World Tour was the best. They split right after the show because I saw them on my right side in a big green station wagon (with real wood-like wallpaper on the sides👍🌹).
Ever since watching CROSSING DELANCEY from 1988, I was infatuated by the vocals of Maggie, Suzzy and Terre Roche as they provided the soundtrack to the movie. I have all their CDs including their children's CD and their lyrics are universal and are more relevant in today's divisive American culture.
Just got tears washing down my face. Always loved these musician singers so much... saw them perform together once in a little club and it was unforgettably intricate, so great....
'84 Another World Tour Wax Museum DC & about a decade ± later in So Beach at St Talkhouse I was blessed to act like I worked there, held up opening the stage door to get the opportunity to tell them "I saw you at....; "You guys did structural damage there!'' IT WAS A COMPLIMENT! EVERYONE IN ALL OTHER ROWS WAS SEATED IN FRONT OF MY POV. SO WHEN THEY HIT - I SAW ALL HEADS TURNING TO THEIR LEFT & THE RIGHT SILENTLY AMAZED AT HOW EACH'S LITTLE HAIRS ON ARMS STOOD AT ATTENTION & ORGASMIC RUSHES WASHED OVER, AROUND, & THROUGH EACH ONE OF US. AH HARMONICS- NEVER BEFORE NOR SINCE! EVEN THOUGH MY EQUIPMENT WAS CONFISCATED AT THE DOOR, MY NEW FRIEND TO MY LEFT HAD EXACTLY THE SAME GEAR/SYSTEM & I SPENT THE NIGHT TAPING AFTER HE'D EVEN GONE TO SLEEP. THAT WAS A 1 IN A MILLION & 650 HUNDRED THOUSAND 5HUNDRED & 67 CHANCE SHOW. THAT TRIO COULD HAVE SHATTERED GLASS LIKE ERTHA KITT ON THAT COMMERCIAL! NOT ANY 1 (NONE) AMONG THE MANY HUNDREDS OF 'REAL' CONCERTS BEFORE OR AFTER THAT NIGHT EVEN CAME CLOSE! NEVER. I DON'T CARE IF ANYONE THINKS THAT IT'S AN EXAGGERATED COMPLIMENT TO THE ROCHES. IF I COULD TIME TRAVEL WITH A FOOL- I'D BE ABLE TO PROVE THAT IS A FACT. THEIR MOM WAS RIGHT TO BE PROUD OF HER CHILDREN - 4 INCLDG A BROTHER DAVID PERFORMED THAT LATER NIGHT & I WAS BLESSED WITH TWO & THE CHANCE TO TELL THEM HOW THEY MADE THAT PLACE I'D FIRST SEEN THEM IN LITERALLY SHAKE! FROM TRICKS LIKE JUST GOING: HAAAA. 🎼 THAT WAS A SIMPLE THING FOR THEM, THEN, THERE. WOW
I wonder if they wrote this during the Irish "Troubles". I know they had a song wherein they were going to Ireland "soon" and worried about getting their fave dessert there. Such an important song. "Put aside your religion - do your God a favor" - I'm Jewish and am always in anguish over the Israeli/Palestinian conflict and volunteer on and off with ME peace groups.
I saw them in a little venue in New York City in 1989. I loved that concert so much that I immediate bought the recording. It was a cassette tape at the time!
I saw The Roches in concert in Orlando, Florida in the mid 1990's - they were a fantastic live band and they were very personable. Loved it !! Great memory...
Desert Island Disk for me; one of my top 10 songs of all time. Difficult to live up to, but a wonderful aspiration. And the girls really belt it. Terre's best ever.
I heard them perform this in New York years ago with my art school friends from Canada and bought the tape to bring back with me and it’s taken me years to realize why and how this song is very true. Everyone is good in spirit. 💖
One of my favorite.... Mary Terrti and Suzie with a cool song... Happy Holidays to every one! This is the miracle of the Hanukkah oil that is celebrated every year when Jews light a special menorah known as a hanukkiyah for eight days. One candle is lit on the first night of Hanukkah, two on the second, and so on, until eight candles are lit.
Maggie, Terre, and Suzzy Roch, Spellcheck has a way of hanging you out to dry and until some genius wants to correct someone you have no idea but once it's up there it's up there.
God I love this song! I had a major crush on Terre in the 80's & early 90's. This is the first time I have seen this video. Would love to see The Roches do this song live again soon (perhaps Nov. 27?). Thanks, Jeff
@AlesandroMoon Yeh! I'm partial to BÖC & the MC5, but I listen to their album, "Can We Go Home Now?" often late at night. Of course, when my buddies come over, I hide the CD.
Loving, i presume, for many is not easier, nor easy. The standard is very high, "in fact". So much of modern life is against it. But it's still possible. We have to know where we want to go, then need the help of those that know how. Intention alone is NOT enough.
When the world seems so chaotic and people are so polarised and hateful, it is great to hear the late Maggie Roche's song "Everyone Is Good." Everyone truly is good even if they have different notions and may be ignorant or prejudiced about certain things. Either way, we will have to accept our differences and be respectful of others if we are to coexist together in this only spaceship Earth. We will not be able to make any space travel since we will have exhausted all our resources and the expense and primitive propulsion technology will not be enough. We are all admittedly still primitive apes living in a PRE-WARP world and incapable of collectively "Looking Beyond the Curve." Music seems to make one get philosophical. Oh well. 10-Q for your time my fellow Academes.
Awesome song. Sounds like Alanis Morissette discovered her voice through this one. Eerie resemblances. Even if she was making music at the time this song was released, but anyhow, you get my point right?
Maybe if those people had heard this song, this message, at the right age, they would have known the truth of themselves. Goodness is a universal foundation, but not necessarily the structure everyone chooses to build upon it. A lack of confidence in our own capacity for good, coupled with a strong will towards self-expression, can leads to a life of trying to prove how bad we can be. "Prove it!" we say. The universe allows us to prove whatever we hold dear enough, good or bad.
Awesome singing and sentiment to wring tears out of any heart. But… ‘everyone is good’? Maybe babies. Or maybe all that’s meant is something like “people are not bad on account of social standing or the color of their hair or choice of socks, so let’s stop breaking bad on each other on those accounts”. But it doesn’t feel like that’s what the song is after, those lyrics are more universal and absolute. ‘Everyone’: nope. You have to count me out, at least. (So at current count, that’s like eight-billion-something, minus one.) And not ‘is’, if ‘is’ means a current unwavering state of being including thought, intention, speech, & action, and not a hoped for future good self, or some dimension of self in an alternate parallel reality. And not ‘good’, except by compromising or diluting the idea of ‘good’ so much that it loses its meaning in relativistic mush. I’m going with Jesus on this one… “there is none good but one, that is, God”. Maybe he meant himself as Christ, but I have some doubts that it describes the rest of us as we relate to real goodness. If you asked if i needed another slice of pizza i might say ‘no thanks, i’m good’, but that’s about it for me anyway. Anyway, lovely singing and a beautiful wish. May it come true someday.
RIP Maggie. Everyone IS good.
Okay. But NOT. Sorry Utopians.
oh how I love this song and as an older woman..can tell you this is TRUTH....everyone has a light within that is good...is pure..is God less.......we are all of the one spirit
God how I miss the Sisters together..
Maggie RIP...

The Roches were unique and great

YOU know what a lucky man you are, right? The Another World Tour was the best. They split right after the show because I saw them on my right side in a big green station wagon (with real wood-like wallpaper on the sides👍🌹).
This song is about acceptance..not religion..and in this hostile climate with children being bullied, it could make a difference to someone.
I come hear listen to the song as a reminder. It's a struggle these days.
RIP Maggie Roche. Fantastic band so much stuff. Check out first album Seductive Reasoning: Down the Dream, West Virginia, Jill of All Trades

A benediction for the tortured world.
Everyone is good. RIP Maggie Roche
Lovely to be reminded of how talented and wonderful this trio was. Rest in Peace Mag, you are sorely missed.
Just got tears washing down my face. Always loved these musician singers so much... saw them perform together once in a little club and it was unforgettably intricate, so great....
Some of our current politicians are proving that not everyone, in fact, is good. However, this is still a beautiful and hopeful song.
My favorite Roche song. I strive to live by its message.
This song is so moving, it kills me.
Wow! Best of all-time recording of Terre Roche singing lead!
I think we need this song more than ever
Sure do!
And to think a year later we need it more. Tears just keep coming, this is such a beautiful song. You can see how beautiful their spirits are. God.
still true
That is exactly what was going on in mind while I listened.

Saw them a couple of times...great great shows...amazing harmonies...and humor.
What a voice......................................

RIP maggie... X
maggie RIP, I've always loved the Roches and yes, everyone is good! x
Good song for 2020. I was starting to feel like a lot of people are bad.
💔RIP Maggie
Thank you for this song, Terry. It has helped often over the years!
They have always been their own style, RIP Maggie, and my condolences to the remaining sisters and family
Sublime! Love these ladies. ❤❤
Tonight, 1/29/2017 - this message resonates profoundly. Thank you.🙏🏾❤️
Beautiful. So glad to have found this again
RIP Magggie
Thank you for the beautiful genius of your music and lyrics, Maggie...
This song is so very relevant in today's socio-political climate. RIP Maggie.
I saw them in a little venue in New York City in 1989. I loved that concert so much that I immediate bought the recording. It was a cassette tape at the time!
We all need this right now!
I saw The Roches in concert in Orlando, Florida in the mid 1990's - they were a fantastic live band and they were very personable. Loved it !! Great memory...
So glad I got to experience the Roche sisters live in my lifetime.
"Put aside your religion. Do your god a favor. And wouldn't it be something to be loving and kind." Love you, The Roches. RIP, Maggie.
Desert Island Disk for me; one of my top 10 songs of all time. Difficult to live up to, but a wonderful aspiration. And the girls really belt it. Terre's best ever.
why no one has posted face down at folk city? cleary one of there best!
So uniquely beautiful although sisters, so different. God bless the Roches forever.
What a gift you have given us.
This is my favorite Roches song . so beautiful.. Thank you so much Terre, Suzzy & Maggie!! god bless you :)
There is just something about Terre's voice... Expecting Your Love is probably my favorite.
Rest in Peace Maggie too! xo mary rut
The most wonderful song by the most wonderful group ever. Thank you.
When Suzzy suddenly appears along with Maggie. Great moment at 2.33.
I heard them perform this in New York years ago with my art school friends from Canada and bought the tape to bring back with me and it’s taken me years to realize why and how this song is very true. Everyone is good in spirit. 💖
❤❤💔
Very good song that I like it .
This one and "Losing True" are a 1-2 punch of the best writing-performing I can find.
Simply beautiful!
The message is sublime and beautifully crafted x
One of my favorite....
Mary Terrti and Suzie with a cool song...
Happy Holidays to every one!
This is the miracle of the Hanukkah oil that is celebrated every year when Jews light a special menorah known as a hanukkiyah for eight days. One candle is lit on the first night of Hanukkah, two on the second, and so on, until eight candles are lit.
Wow: you got all three of their names wrong. Hard to do.
Maggie, Terre, and Suzzy Roch,
Spellcheck has a way of hanging you out to dry and until some genius wants to correct someone you have no idea but once it's up there it's up there.
God I love this song! I had a major crush on Terre in the 80's & early 90's.

Sublime! xo!
adore this song
Beautifully put.
I needed that. Thank you girls!
this is so good omfg
Love this music, love this attitude (that is no attitude) love this way of being
@AlesandroMoon Yeh! I'm partial to BÖC & the MC5, but I listen to their album, "Can We Go Home Now?" often late at night.
Of course, when my buddies come over, I hide the CD.
Thank you Oh-whatever for the Roches!!
wooHoo!
So much easier to just love❣️ such a touching song❤️❤️❤️❤️
Loving, i presume, for many is not easier, nor easy. The standard is very high, "in fact".
So much of modern life is against it. But it's still possible.
We have to know where we want to go, then need the help of those that know how.
Intention alone is NOT enough.
This is absolutely beautiful!
My favorite Roches song. I believe Maggie had cancer at this time...

Oh well. 10-Q for your time my fellow Academes.
This song was written by Terre, not Maggie.
Love.
Thanks, yum!
Love the words !
Awesome song. Sounds like Alanis Morissette discovered her voice through this one. Eerie resemblances. Even if she was making music at the time this song was released, but anyhow, you get my point right?
did they write this song?
Terre wrote it.
I'm sorry but everyone is not good! It kills me to say that but that's the truth.
martin barrington I think this song is specially intended for religious people who err on the side of self-righteousness.
martin barrington
Everyone is capable of good and everyone has good in them. A useful and powerful truth
Not serial killers. Some actually ask to never be let out because they will hurt and kill more
Maybe if those people had heard this song, this message, at the right age, they would have known the truth of themselves. Goodness is a universal foundation, but not necessarily the structure everyone chooses to build upon it.

The universe allows us to prove whatever we hold dear enough, good or bad.
but does anyone, dare to asume, that hitler or idi amin ended up like that on purpose ?
damn I didn't know Maggie was a Xtian
So what?
What is so "x-tian" about this song of self acceptance? More Buddhist/Jainian than most anything elase
Awesome singing and sentiment to wring tears out of any heart. But… ‘everyone is good’? Maybe babies. Or maybe all that’s meant is something like “people are not bad on account of social standing or the color of their hair or choice of socks, so let’s stop breaking bad on each other on those accounts”.

If you asked if i needed another slice of pizza i might say ‘no thanks, i’m good’, but that’s about it for me anyway. Anyway, lovely singing and a beautiful wish. May it come true someday.
This is the worst Roches song I've ever heard. It doesnt' even sound like them.
We're they on Jesus or something.
