When He Cries is my least favourite song. >> I'll tell ya, I have to agree with Bryn. I haven't had the chance to hear the album yet (there is one song on the radio I like, but I couldn't tell you the title), but I know I'm going to love it. I think it probably did more for Bryn because Bryn can relate to the mother song and "When he cries". I lost my Dad in '95, and having recently married I've got babies on the brain, so I am anxious to hear these songs. But regardless if you can relate to a song, you know someone out there's GOT to. These "personal" feelings, and the songs that come from them.... they ARE folk music if you ask me. They are almost always universal ...even if the songwriter doesn't know it at the time. Beth Nielsen Chapman's latest-- "Sand & Water", is almost COMPLETELY about the loss of her husband. And I LOVE IT! Having lost my dad, this album touches me somewhere deep down. And like I said, getting deep down is what folk music is all about --even if the song is a funny one! So, I'll get down off my soapbox. But I would be curious to know what makes "haviland" (sorry I didn't catch your name!), feel that those kinds of feelings (made into songs) are best not shared? What do you feel they are missing, or have too much of? Or is it something else? I'd love to know..... Great conversations here --indeed a Good Noise! warm prayers, Amy Amy E.

O.K. I get it. So, my message (and question) and the message in response to "those kinds of things are better off not shared" etc. were really meant to be posed to Andrew. It's all clear to me now!
