This song reminds me of my childhood back in africa playing in the sand and rain and the somple things without a care in the world. Although I never had any gender issues and am very much masculine..this song always makes me remember my culture and my roots. Correction to previous post | Reviewer: Nat ------ About the song Whispering Pines performed by Dar Williams Dar covered this. It was written by the band. If I'm not mistaken, Richard manuel wrote the music, and Robbie Robertson wrote the lyrics. I haven't heard dar's version, but I do love the band's original version. The vocals are amazing. This is such a haunting song on so many wonderful ways. A life saver. | Reviewer: anon ------ About the song After All performed by Dar Williams I was buried under a mountain of despair, contemplating suicide. This song saved my life. It just seemed to speak to me. The first 2 verses in particular seemed almost written specifically for me. Great song. I love Dar's music when I was a boy | Reviewer: Twila Casper ------ About the song When I Was a Boy performed by Dar Williams I was definently a boy. I still am in many ways. i climb trees, i can't stand tight clothes and never used to wear a shirt in the summer. at such a young age, who cares, you really don't have anything to hide! ;) One of my favorites | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song When I Was a Boy performed by Dar Williams Shared this song with my mother (who played sand lot ball when she was a boy), a friend (who had her implants removed), my husband (who cried when I read "Love You Forever" to our kids) and my son and daughters. When I'm learning traditionally male trades I think of this song and enjoy hanging with the guys, but am always happy to get back with my sistahs. :] | Reviewer: anonnn ------ About the song The Christians and the Pagans performed by Dar Williams i seriously love this song, i really relate to it. i'm a headstrong atheist in a family of headstrong christians, and every time the holidays come around we always argue about the significance of our beliefs and whether or not i go to church-- basically everything that falls in the middle section of a venn diagram of family issues and religious intolerance. my sister introduced me to this song last year when the arguments were really bad and it always cheers me up after the topic of religion glazes over a night watching some reality TV show. Not literal | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song February performed by Dar Williams For me - and this is entirely subjective - this is about a couple who have been together so long that they are entering their golden years together - and one of them at least is having trouble with memory - Alzheimers maybe, hence the forgetfulness. There is not a new lover at the end - it's just that one of them has such little short term memory that she sees her life partner as a new lover. Maybe that can be a good and positive thing. Certainly the song is about the enduring nature of love for a lucky few. And yes - it is beautiful. Politics religion and music | Reviewer: Robert ------ About the song The Christians and the Pagans performed by Dar Williams I just saw Dar in concert. This song is supposedly a song of tolerance, yet Dar preceded this with a rant about Sarah Palin showing Dar's intolerance and infecting the rest of the angry mob (who all are loving people I presume), there was an angry response to Dar Williams' anger about Gov. Palin. Just goes to show how walking the walking is the real deal. Dar just talks the talk. It is a wonderful song. If only she could see both sides as the song goes.... I love this song | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song The Ocean performed by Dar Williams This is my favorite song by Dar Williams who is my favorite singer/songwriter. Using the mystery and danger of the ocean as an allegory for the torments that some of us live works well with both the haunting lyrics and complex melody. When I Was a Boy | Reviewer: Olivia ------ About the song When I Was a Boy performed by Dar Williams I remember listening to this song when I was in first grade and was very much 'a boy'. Now that I'm older this song has gained so many more meanings, but it’s still just as wonderful and poignant. Thank you Dar Williams! my thoughts | Reviewer: Aily ------ About the song February performed by Dar Williams This wonderful song is one long metaphor for a dying relationship. Sometimes, even if you work hard at it, (all day digging snow) it still doesn't work (wake up....and it's snowing). All you can do in the next relationship is gather all you can to see you through the hard days. By the way, I always thought it was two women, not a woman and man. Is that me projecting? Christmas | Reviewer: Aily ------ About the song The Christians and the Pagans performed by Dar Williams I found myself with a bunch of Quakers this Christmas and they wanted everyone to read or recite a 'Christmas poem@. Not having one to mind, I recited the lyrics to this great song. They all LOVED it! It went down so well! Thanks Dar! great song!! | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song February performed by Dar Williams i love this song, i love dar..saw her live recently, she's just the best isn't she!? well wow this song is one of my personal favorites and even some people don't see the deepness of the real meaning and relationships...i think we can all agree february is just a sucky month for a lot of people, including me. this song helps like nothing else =D february | Reviewer: c.joy ------ About the song February performed by Dar Williams This song i believe has nothing to do with winter it's about the ups and downs of a relationship and that you don't really see the warning signs of how everything went wrong untill it has already fallen apart. And as two people drift away it seems like everything unraveled and it's hard to see where. Until they come back together. I love you Dar williams | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song The Christians and the Pagans performed by Dar Williams My mother and i would love to meet you so so so so so much!!! You are a great singer. I love to sing to and you are great. Your so talented and your songs really give me a message. I want to meet you so badly.I have always for as long as i have known wanted to sing and be famous. You are one of the only albums that my mom has. I hope you see this somehow. Love your biggest fans April and Liza M. great song | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song You're Aging Well performed by Dar Williams I heard Dar and Joan Baez sing this song in 2002 and it's been a favorite ever since. Couldn't figure out 1 line in the last verse, but thanks. This is a folk lover's and woman's anthem. I also happen to be a signmaker. Go figure. yeah | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song February performed by Dar Williams yeah, it's definitely about relationships. and winter. but not the beauty of it. it's about how the ice and snow and cold can break us, make us forget. about how hard it is to love someone through all that. i've always loved the part about the crocuses, about how we forget how to recognize the first signs of spring. Songs rewrite their meanings - for each new listener they speak to. | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Whispering Pines performed by Dar Williams This song was written decades before I was born. I bought a poor quality greatest hits compilation of The Band at a yard sale for 50 cents. And when this song came on - It pulled tears out of me as though someone simply opened a faucet. Every lyric, every word was poetically vague enough to fit into a specific moment of my life that I'm still (and may always be) getting over... And its poetically perfect in the emotional story it convey's... Dar williams may have had a specific person in mind when he wrote this, but he also wrote it for me. Great songs tend rewrite their meanings - for each new listener they speak to. Appology | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Whispering Pines performed by Dar Williams I recently wrote a review on the song Whispering Pines.
