Review about Dar Williams songs

A perfect song | Reviewer: AnonNY
    ------ About the song After All performed by Dar Williams

Song is perhaps too trite a word for After All. This is great art manifest in music. I've been listening to this song regularly since it was released and each time I discover something new in it -- it speaks to real life, real love, pain, suffering, forgiveness, grace. As I change, its meaning changes. If I could, I'd play this song for every person on the planet.


Response to "tolerant"? | Reviewer: Robert Francis
    ------ About the song The Christians and the Pagans performed by Dar Williams

The whole point of the song was to address the need for people of different faiths to sit together and learn to appreciate each other. You are offended that you can't "practice your religion" of intolerance (your God being the only way). THAT's why people are offended by YOU.


Read the lyrics, seriously | Reviewer: Tolerantbutrealistic
    ------ About the song The Christians and the Pagans performed by Dar Williams

Regarding the comment: "It's interesting how so many people talk about tolerance, and yet the ONE thing they are NOT tolerant of is the right of Christians to celebrate the birth of Jesus at this time of year. It's OK to criticize Christians in the name of tolerance. How did this happen?"
Not once in that song does she eevr say it's negative or bad or inappropriate to celebrate the birth of Christ. It's not a song about criticizing anyone, it's a song about tolerance. Leave it to a thumper to see the negative in something that doesn't praise who they believe in. People of that nature are why people turn away from "organized religion".
PLEASE show me where it states that celebrating Christmas/Christ's birth is critized. Can't? Because it isn't here.


Not all pagans are witches! | Reviewer: SG
    ------ About the song The Christians and the Pagans performed by Dar Williams

Love this lady - she sang at my children's school last night at a benefit to raise money for the school's music and drama department. Love this song - my only sadness is that "pagan" has become synonymous with witchcraft. The original pagans were simply rural, agricultural people. It developed to mean non-Christian. Don't know when witches came into the definition because that is just silly! Still, love the idea of tolerance and finding common ground.


I love the message of this song! | Reviewer: Anonymous
    ------ About the song The Christians and the Pagans performed by Dar Williams

I love the message of tolerance and I wish it were taken to heart by more people. Incidentally, there's an excellent acoustic version of this song on Dar's recent album, with Sara and Sean Watkins (of Nickel Creek) playing and doing backup vocals.


Tolerant? | Reviewer: someone
    ------ About the song The Christians and the Pagans performed by Dar Williams

What a sad song. It's interesting to read all the comments about tolerance. It's interesting how so many people talk about tolerance, and yet the ONE thing they are NOT tolerant of is the right of Christians to celebrate the birth of Jesus at this time of year. It's OK to criticize Christians in the name of tolerance. How did this happen. Yes, I'm a Christian. Am I tolerant? If that means accepting of others and loving others and being non-judgemental of others, yes. If it means admitting that all paths lead to God and to not share my beliefs, then no. It's my faith. Please stop judging me. Thank you.


beautiful metaphor | Reviewer: Demosth
    ------ About the song February performed by Dar Williams

I find this song very poignant and uplifting...The two people here are like so many people in this world - over time as it happens so often, their love and even friendship has grown icy...It's becomes easy to forget your first love when the world (along with all its daily stresses) sorta takes over...and the girl here is so sad and sounds like she has really given up. But, she has stayed with him. And he really does love her, very much, but like a lot of people is just tired. A lot. I always imagine his face when they are on their walk through the snowy forest, and she says, "what is a flower?" - like he just stops dead, and turns back and looks down at her, and realizes in that very moment how bad it has gotten, and remembers what it used to be like with them, and he takes her hand and tells her that he still loves her. Her 'new' lover is, of course the same man...new in the same sense that a flower is new in the spring. It's the same plant, just a fresh, beautiful aspect to the same strong roots.


Fantastic song! | Reviewer: Anonymous
    ------ About the song The One Who Knows performed by Dar Williams

My husband and I love this song, it's so beautiful! My son and I are going to try and dance to this for our Mother/Son Dance, but it is a little slow and I don't think I have ever listened to it and not cried!


So Poetic | Reviewer: Anonymous
    ------ About the song You're Aging Well performed by Dar Williams

This is such a woman's anthem and as such a human being's anthem. I hope all who hear it are inspired by it's theme to let the voices of who you truly are ring out - be who you are and not who the signmakers say you should be!


interesting | Reviewer: L
    ------ About the song The Christians and the Pagans performed by Dar Williams

Looked at the lyrics because a friend's son posted on facebook. he is a seriously troubled fellow. anyway, I just hope for those who don't believe in God that they are right. As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord Jesus Christ.
