That song is so soft and sweet, yet hits you like a freight train going a hundred miles an hour. Absolutely beautiful song.
@Gillian Welch🎶 I would absolutely love that. Your music inspired me to pick the guitar back up. Thank you so much.
I heard this song on the radio in my truck and had to pull over and listen to it. Then I had to figure out what the name of it was. It was worth it. It's as mesmerizing as it is beautiful
I discovered this album today. Changed me a bit. And never too late
I work at an Amazon fulfillment center and I just got an entire box of this album on vinyl and immediately had to go in the bathroom to look it up and listen to it. needless to say I'm in love.
If you're looking for country or folk the way the Carter Family, Bill Monroe, Hank or any of the early pioneers, you've found it in Gillian and Dave.
Thank you Gillian and David - endless source of consolation and joy. We'll be waiting patiently here in The Netherlands...
"some girls are blessed with dark turn of mind" awesome
I always end up listening to this song when I'm feeling down and it makes me feel human again.
Just pre-ordered my vinyl copy now! Can't wait to see them again. Hope they come to the bay area on this tour! I will have them sign it at the show! They are so great to their fans, so I'm sure that wont be a problem. They are two of the greatest musicians and song writers that have ever lived. Living legends! I am so great full for they music they have given us! Gillian Welch and David Rawlings RULE!
I saw her touring on this album and there was a man in the crowd dressed as a cowboy (including the hat and huge belt buckle), but with pink high heels and wearing makeup. He was beautiful.
This is just so good . . .
Please keep making music, Gillian and Dave!

"Dark Turn Of Mind"
Take me and love me if you want me
Don't ever treat me unkind
'Cause I had that trouble already
And it left me with a dark turn of mind
Now I see the bones in the river
And I feel the wind through the pine
And I hear the shadows a-calling
To a girl with a dark turn of mind
But oh ain't the nighttime so lovely to see?
Don't all the nightbirds sing sweetly?
You'll never know how happy I'll be
When the sun's going down
And leave me if I'm feeling too lonely
Full as the fruit on the vine
You know some girls are bright as the morning
And some have a dark turn of mind
You know some girls are bright as the morning
And some girls are blessed with a dark turn of mind
@Gillian Welch🎶 oh wow, what an unexpected thing, I am truly honored to be able to speak to you directly
Such passion with feeling...genius and beauty combined
Your music feels just like a lullaby...Brilliant!
Saw Gillian open for Son Volt in 1996. Been enjoying her music ever since.
some girls are blessed with a dark turn of mind
I play my guitar along with these two all the time. It's like a meditation. I also try to steal as much from Dave as possible. lol
Oh my. Tears. Wow. No words. Just emotions. Vibing. ✌🏼
Just about to give up & then this struck like lightning
Still the pain of the past reflects a bad light on the present love
I feel the winds through the pines
True folk & it’s natural beauty with the doors wide open & the birds are welcomed into the studio
It’s about as earthy as it gets
Beautiful & honest
Thank you so dearly much for this wonderful song
Gorgeous video. Reminds me of Anton Corbjn's work for Depeche Mode circa Music for the Masses. Which is a high compliment coming from me. Can't wait to see you guys on the road soon.
This always makes me feel better.
Magnifique, complètement subjugué par cette ballade magiquement simple et envoûtante.
DR such an unique, distinguishing guitar style...you know it's him playing in five notes.
stunning. I love your songwriting. thank you!
I'll sing harmony with you if you come to Michigan. Thank you for giving us your heart.
this is probably my favorite song gillian
Hi Gillian, That is really well done. Thank you.
This album is perfect.
One of my fav Gill & Dave songs.
Aye, another wee cheery song there Gilly.
Just listening to this tune this morning, and it hit a lot of notes for me, sorry that your life has not given you introspection, not just about this song but about everything. Pity.
Listening to this on hi-definition headphones, her voice.... well, "enraptures" was the first word that came to my mind.
I Love This Stuff!!
When are you coming to UK guys? It would be soooo good to see you here
I love them so much!
A great, great song!
♥️ Lady of the Dark and of the Light
A love ballad with an unpredictable threat to wreak tragedy.
What a great song!
Gosh,these D.R. solos are sooo good...this one´s like M.Davis solos,just the notes needed.
incredible, thank you
Your Records and Dave’s « A Friend of a Friend » encouraged us to play music. Thank you.
La guitarra de Dave hace encaje de bolillos con la seda de la voz de Gillian.
To good for words
Whoever gave this a thumbs down has horrible taste as a human being and shouldn't be allowed to make choices in life anymore.
brilliant. West Coast American here. GW speaks to us.
So lovely our dark times create the gold in us
it's getting as I grow older
Cause I've had that trouble already.. and it left me with a dark turn of mind.. but my favorite line Is: fool is the fruit on the vine... yes it is.
The line is actually "full as the fruit on the vine"; like, swollen with a weight of sadness and loneliness.
It's a great song
So unlike you. You're bright light and sunshine. You bring sunshine into dark places. Salute! Always. Love. Ya. Now come and sing at my house serious person. :)
Dear Harry Styles, this is what a good slow song sounds like. Good slow songs done well are not boring like yours.
Wish you'd make more videos.
Maynard brought me here.
Magnificence.
This shit is fucking amazing
Bright sun in the weeping willow
I ll always tell older people my generation has Gillian Welch ...Dark Turn off Mind ...
Damn.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
not just the girls.......:) x
😃🤓🙌🏻
Now, sweetheart that deserves a good cup of coffee, my treat when ever you are in Panama city
I swear I'm not a country gal I just really enjoy her music
This song should be in "Alias Grace"
I want to hear a fella sing this song.
A lullaby with an **asterisks
who else caught the 'Annabelle' grave in the churchyard..
Am I the only one wondering about the upside down pentagram at 1:43 and where they are?
It's a tiffany star pendant shade, looks like a multi pointed star when you stand below it, they're a middle class sight in most homes in cosmopolitan areas. I'd doubt it was intentional... For it to be that angle.

Anyone here after K.Ish's playlist?
UCSC notable alumni brought me here

Damn!!! How the hell did I miss this album ???? One of the best things I've heard in all my 78 years of listening to music of all kinds.
Next, check out C.W. Stoneking. He was, 22 years on, the next time I heard something as good as Gillian.
That’s the beauty of music, there’s always something new to listen to, first time listening to Gillian myself.
@Gillian Welch🎶 Why.... (gulp).... YES !! I
