Love your music Martha. Your voice is singular, sublime, subtle and full of soul. It evokes a powerful feeling in me, of Appalachia and my grandparents. Folks that I only go to know a brief time and who are gone now.
She is so incredible. I am so in awe of her particularly perfect artistry and what she captures into a song flow and proceeds to share. The best Americana folk imo
Beautiful song, great performance by Ms. Scanlan. This version highlights the amazing Jon Neufeld. I don't believe I've ever heard someone create as perfect a mood for a song as he does here. Brilliant work by both of these creative giants.
Puts me in mind of that wonderful novel, James Galvin's The Meadow -- same mood, same region, thereabouts. Hope it's intentional. Her "Up On the Divide" does that too. Melancholy reverence. Strength of a sort not recognized all too often. Thanks. Nice picking, by the bye.
Hi Martha ! Thank you for this. The pictures are beautiful and fit well with the music, and I wanted to say, as a guitar and banjo player myself, that I consider your song and its rendering here as a high level of musicianship from both of you two. Simple, quiet and very touching.
Oh wow.. You have such an amazing voice, it gave me goosebumps. I grew up in Montana, and this just captures the whole essence of Montana, and the heaven in what it is. Wonderfully breathtaking. Thank you.
Parris Young Golden days up in the meadow autumn bright and border trees morning days, do you remember? horse’s breath and horse’s feet I don’t think I ever told you how your hair felt in my hands like summer wheat, winter coats of horses your smell is sweetgrass and warm bread So I tried hard not to see you sewing stars into your hide to become the night, some constellation I could not find nor recognize I would send you a true-eyed angel, in early bluebird so disguised a shard of wing a blue that pierces even the blue heart of the sky Have you seen the seven sorrows in a thousand shaking leaves? like waiting hands sent there to help you roll away the stone, and set you free I will meet you in the meadow horse’s breath and horse’s feet I will touch your scars in the early morning where there is one star and the first bird sings.
It’s one of her most beautiful tunes for sure “ But” she is one of two parts making it work so well, sooo” please give her guitar partner his just due. Yea” he’s a man, she’s a woman, the way God ment it to be, ! ❤

She is a true artist…. ❤I’m a big fan of Martha…. beautiful song bird🎵
Still so beautiful.
This helped me through depression. ❤
I think I’ll just pour a whiskey and stay in tonight……and watch this video a hundred more times. So beautiful!
I discovered Martha through Mighty Popular singing her song Up on the Divide. What a haunting voice and wonderful music she had created
Great recording outdoors ,lovely
I do not know anyone who is more pleasing to listen to than these two musicians. Heavenly
Such a great song. And John's guitar work is perfect!
Love your music Martha. Your voice is singular, sublime, subtle and full of soul. It evokes a powerful feeling in me, of Appalachia and my grandparents. Folks that I only go to know a brief time and who are gone now.
I can't imagine how many times I've watched and listened to this and it never fails to bring the tears. So beautiful.

Timeless and perfect 🙏
This is how church is supposed to make you feel.
Beautiful comment.
No doubt.
Beautiful song, great performance by Ms. Scanlan. This version highlights the amazing Jon Neufeld. I don't believe I've ever heard someone create as perfect a mood for a song as he does here. Brilliant work by both of these creative giants.
I have no idea how I found her, but I'm glad I did. After all these years, I still enjoy her work like it's the first time.
love when i stumble across a song that just grabs my soul and gives it a hug
I like return to walk this beautiful place. Over and over again. 🧡💯
This is still one of my favorite songs.
Oh my gosh! This is one of my very favorites too, and I revisit it time and again. Funny seeing you here, but not surprising 🤗
Simply sublime.
Folk festivals are how church is supposed to feel :) I saw MS at the Ottawa Fold Festival about 10 years ago: a memorable performance
She captures the soul of the meadow in this song.

I cannot find the lyrics to this lovely - any help out there? Her work touches me so.

Voz e Violão, aplausos.
Soulful and oh so sweet.
Anyone know where lyrics for this song can be found?
Has her own style, but that clarity of Alison Krause. Just beautiful
Beautiful
Beautiful song - if you don't have Tongue River Stories then you are missing out ;)
What a voice***
Me, I'm a little bit hard of hearing. Would someone please connect me with the textual lyrics?
I can't make it all out, but my heart began to shine.
Parris Young
Golden days up in the meadow
autumn bright and border trees
morning days, do you remember?
horse’s breath and horse’s feet
I don’t think I ever told you
how your hair felt in my hands
like summer wheat,
winter coats of horses
your smell is sweetgrass and warm bread
So I tried hard not to see you
sewing stars into your hide
to become the night,
some constellation
I could not find nor recognize
I would send you a true-eyed angel,
in early bluebird so disguised
a shard of wing
a blue that pierces
even the blue heart of the sky
Have you seen the seven sorrows
in a thousand shaking leaves?
like waiting hands
sent there to help you
roll away the stone, and set you free
I will meet you in the meadow
horse’s breath and horse’s feet
I will touch your scars
in the early morning
where there is one star
and the first bird sings.
Thanks @@vivaldirules- yours were the only lyrics I could find for this beautiful song. Gonna learn this one today.
loving this you beauties! cree xoxo
Wow.
the voice is like wind...
This is so very beautiful! Great song, Martha! What is the guitar Jon is playing?
Cheers!
Another stunner by the late John Sullivan.
It’s one of her most beautiful tunes for sure “ But” she is one of two parts making it work so well, sooo” please give her guitar partner his just due. Yea” he’s a man, she’s a woman, the way God ment it to be, ! ❤
It sounds like Love could sound....If Love had had voice.....
That is said so beautifully.
Jon Neufeld on guitar.
Thanks, I was wondering why he wasn't credited.
👋👋👋
Nice song, but you really should identify the guitar player by name in the description.
Jon Neufield
W-o-w....
Do you need a bass or mandolin player? I’ll come work for free just to have the honor!
Beautiful
