Great Tune; Nothing like a good folk song to remind us about good living.
Swimming to the Other Side - Pat Humphries
{Refrain}
We are living 'neath the great Big Dipper
We are washed by the very same rain
We are swimming in the stream together
Some in power and some in pain
We can worship this ground we walk on
Cherishing the beings that we live beside
Loving spirits will live forever
We're all swimming to the other side
I am alone, and I am searching
Hungering for answers in my time
I am balanced at the brink of wisdom
I'm impatient to receive a sign
I move forward with my senses open
Imperfection, it be my crime
In humility I will listen
We're all swimming to the other side
{Refrain}
On this journey through thoughts and feelings
Binding intuition, my head, my heart
I am gathering the tools together
I'm preparing to do my part
All of those who have come before me
Band together and be my guide
Loving lessons that I will follow
We're all swimming to the other side
{Refrain}
When we get there we'll discover
All of the gifts we've been given to share
Have been with us since life's beginning
And we never noticed they were there
We can balance at the brink of wisdom
Never recognizing that we've arrived
Loving spirits will live together
We're all swimming to the other side
{Refrain}
Thank you all so very much for your kind words. I am so glad that this song spoke to you the way that it did! I had not known it until it was requested by a RUclips Viewer, so thanks, jenabu3! If you have a song you'd love to hear me do, please let me know!
Im the Executive Director of a Camp & our campers have been singing this for a decade! Its tradition! 💗
This song needs to be in every hymnal in every church in America
Just beautiful. I’ve always loved this song and your voice is pure and perfect.

Beautiful playing and singing
I enjoyed your cover.

You do this so well that it sounds like your song. Excellent. 🎶

Dan- thanks for this elegant performance of a beautiful song. I will play this for my father as he transitions to the other side with the help of hospice. Thanks again.
John Lopshire What an honor. Peace to your father and to you during this difficult and bittersweet time. Thank you for your kind comment.
I love this song. I could listen to it every day or every second of the day
Love this song and your voice is incredible, as well as the guitar work. Thank you!

Best rendition of this beautiful song I’ve ever heard which is really something since my band also recorded it!
IF ONLY WE ALL WOKE UP AND REALIZED THIS.
Everyone has already said this, but your rendition of this song is so, so, so lovely! Your voice (clear and pure) matches up with the sentiments of this song beautifully! Thanks for posting it. :)
OMG OMG OMG OMG! Thank you thank you thank you! LOOOOOOVE IT!
Good song and fine service paying it: Looking for songs for babies and this is good! Thanks.
I think I've listened to you play this song 10 times and I will probably listen to it 10 times more. I'm struck by your rendition of it. I'm going to sing it at a family reunion in the Ozarks at the end of July. Thank you again and again.
I love this song. And this version is the best I've heard.
Beautiful performance of a wonderful song. Thanks.!
I've never commented on youtube before but i was so moved by your voice and tranquil spirit that I had to say thank you :)...I use this song in my classroom for 12-year-olds but I must say this version sounds more sacred :)
Absolutely love the way you play and sing this song Dan.
Thank you for posting this. It was sung during my church service last Sunday. I brought home the typed words and have been thinking of sending them to my teenage sons away at college. The words on the page just do not have the power of your beautiful rendition. Thank you for posting this.

you do this song with greatness.....and humbleness...thankyou
jeanie carlin
Thank you, thank you, a beautiful song lovingly performed. I heard Pat perform this song on NPR in the 9o's and had to pull over to the side of the road because I couldn't see through my tears, they are coming now. I have forwarded it to some folks I know will love it on this day. (HEART)
Oh my, Dan Heidt....I think I'm in love. Thank you for the gift of your talents. So, so sweet!
You have a beautiful voice! I love your rendition of this song. THANKS for sharing.
Love it. Thank you. You have a great voice.
wow.. Beautiful version of this lovely tune. I really like your guitar playing( I play too!)
and your voice is really nice...
I am listening to your rendition of this song and love it once again. I love your voice, the sensitivity in it and the pace that you are singing at...giving time to really listen to the song...which is so beautiful...our emotionally connection to this song is profound and beautiful! Thank you so much! I am going to sleep now with the grace of this song and you singing it in my soul...your spirit will carry me to rest this night...in our world so full of turmoil...
Just awesome. I had heard this song sung by Elaine Silver. Your version is wonderful too!! Love from Brazil!
Wonderful verses...I love the song and its nature-centered communal spirit... beautiful sentiments.
Touching, stirring, moving, what else can I say? My church choir is using this as our processional "hymn" this Sunday. Thank you.
Dropping in to let you know that it is YOUR version that made me fall in love with this song. Your playing and your voice are perfectly suited to the reverence this song. I'll be performing this song on Nov 17th, 2019 and will try to match your style to the best of my ability! I hope you're still out there somewhere making good music man!
Aw, that's so nice to hear. You sing it in YOUR style, I'm sure it's a great one. Peace!
You have really done a great cover of this beautiful song! You hve a very nice voice!
this song brings back many memories.
This is great! You have a refreshingly clear voice. Beautiful.
Super job. I meant to record this one several years ago, but forgot about it. Now, I will have to work on it.
Great job - I like it better than the original. Nice guitar work.
This song is so moving. Thank you for your beautiful rendition of it.
This is so beautiful. I stumbled across this when I was searching for this song because I sang it in grade school and every-so-often I'd remember the first line or so. I wish there were an mp3 version of you singing this so I could put it on my mp3 player, :)
Simply, and delicately wonderful
Thank you!
Your rendition of this song is inspiring. I'm planning a family reunion and this song and performance is my inspiration. Have you ever performed Phil Ochs' songs Hands or When I'm Gone? Thank you Dan for your gift.
I love this song - and this version!! Thanks, Dan, for posting!
i love this song! i love how you sing it and you did a good job on the guitar!
gorgeous. Mmmmmmmm.... great way to wind down at the end of a day...
This is a new tune for me, and I was just checkin' around for a nice version. Lo and behold, I just found it. Beautiful work, my friend.
Philip Hart This was a recording from long long ago! It struck a chord in many people, surprisingly. I had not heard of it until someone requested it. It's a great tune!
Beautifully done.
Just beautiful. I never heard this song before today and I'm gonna have to learn it. You did it beautifully.
Thank you! That was lovely!
fantastic!
Love the words, somehow comforting and fits with my philosophy.
absolutely beautiful !!
So beautiful!
Dan, You really do this song a lot of justice. You indeed have a very smooth and very fine voice. Were you singing as a young lad? Did you start singing when you were very young and were aware of your talent early on?
Thank you so much, Jenn... That's very kind of you to say. And Major Kudos to you for your teaching heart!
Upload a version. I'd love to hear it.
incredibly amazing
Absolutely beautiful, Dan. Would you have your version available in guitar tab someplace? That would be something worth buying! In any case, masterful job, and thank you for sharing your talent with us.
nice
Thanks so much! I appreciate the note. :-)
How beautiful! I would love to hear you sing an old song - The Last Farewell - best sung by Roger Whitaker. I believe. A song that means a lot to us. Thanks.
Thanks, Karen, I'll take a shot at it!
Beautiful and clear--thanks! Any place to legally purchase this version?
I heard this at walker creek in Marin
Walker Creek Ranch? The Outdoor School? Perfect! Must have been at a campfire.
I was just there
It wasSO FUN
Thanks! No, I don't really have the tabs... I just pretty much made it up as I went along.. I'll be uploading a few "How-to" videos soon, starting with this one
"Rose of the San Joaquin" Tom Rosum sings with Laurie Lewis.
James, forgive me for missing this earlier, but I saw it, and listened to the song today.. It'll be a fun one to learn. Look for it soon!
For some reason, it stopped playing on my devices! So disappointed! I’m not very techie and I can’t get it back!
i sang this song for school (: that was many years ago though. I still sing it with my fave voice i loved it! This inspires people like you and me. Nice singing too.

Hello Keene middle school
*****
you nailed it better than pat humphries did. Of course, it's always easy to make somebody else's shit better (not that I mean to detract from your performance, it's great).
