One Foot Before The Other One
[Words from song: "One Foot Before The Other One".

"When lonely is a season...
that won't change...
And freedom is a dance...
that's cold and strange...
And love is just a word...
to fill a line in a midnight song...
Then it's one foot before the other one...
You'll walk on 'til the night is done...
And hope you live to see the morning sun..."

When I heard the song you posted today, I was pretty sure that I had seen the words on your blog. I don't know if you have been thinking about this for a month, or it's just a coincidence that you blogged about it a month before you recorded it for YouTube.
I feel very awkward posting a comment on your blog. On the one hand, I feel like I'm intruding on your private space. You have been a performer all your adult life, so you probably have this public versus private thing down pat. Like all your audience, I don't know you, yet I feel like I know you because I have seen you perform such beautiful, intimate songs.
I just started blogging a few weeks ago, and to me a blog feels like a contradiction of being a private space and a public one at the same time.
On the other hand, the friend who introduced me to blogging told me that people like to have comments on their blogs, to know that someone is paying attention,
I am paying attention to you. I absolutely love some of your songs, and others are not to my taste. I am amazed at my luck to find your music in the midst of all the millions of videos on YouTube.
In an early post, you mentioned how someone used to praise your work by saying that you were the greatest, and then you found out he said that to everyone.
I think you were playing with pixels on the pictures for "her hair is dark as the Raven's Wing", and I was surprised how different the visuals were from your usual work. I liked them. And I loved the song.
I also enjoyed the way you played with the video for the banana song. That song is not to my taste, but what struck me about it is that afterwards, I realized that you went through a very hard time with your little girl, and yet you made a funny story out of it, something people can laugh at for a long time.
I'm glad that you are putting one foot in front of the other. Very successfully, I might add. Most people of our age wouldn't dream of trying to learn all the things you are learning about using the computer and making videos.
Thanks again for the music,
Sylvia
