    This is truly one of the most beautiful and heartfelt songs in existence. I feel blessed to have sung with Ysaye when she joined The Mystic Chorale to sing. Ysaye is such a strong, magical and generous woman. Thank you, Mahalo, Namaste 🙏🏻

    Happy Birthday, Ysaye. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful gifts. This song helped me heal when my mother died in 1993. I sang this song for a year, always weeping, reaching and finally healing.

    I feel so blessed to have met Ysaye Barnwell in Toronto after becoming a community choir leader. She is a living legend, and I will forever be grateful, inspired, touched, and blessed for being in the presence, and learning from, such a remarkable, gifted, and open-hearted human being. Happy Birthday Ysaye! Or as we sing in Sing for Joy, my local community choir that got me started on this blessed path: "Happy birthday to you! We''re so glad that you're alive. You're a gift from the Earth. Bless the day of your birth."

    Ysaye - I am grateful to have not known of you, of your history and standing, when I first met you in the mountains of Colorado - so I could see you through my own eyes (rather than through the plastic lenses of fandom). Years before, Sweet Honey boomed from a boombox at my daughter's birth, but still I didn't know you as that voice who joined the wails and overpowered the beeps and bloops. How wonderful, that you are so wonderful, and that you share your wonder (and fullness) with unequalled majesty and humility. Happy Birthday!

    This is so beautiful! Do you remember my mother, Jane Faigaio? I think she was part of the folks that brought you to Naropa back when I was a kid. I grew up to be a musician and singer. This song has filled my heart. I knew there was a reason I woke up this morning!

    The first time I heard this was when Sweet Honey performed it at their annual concert at Carnegie Hall. The tears started about a quarter of the way through and didn't stop. The song makes you think of that one person. That one person. It brings me to my knees every time. Dr. Barnwell is pure genius.
