Your music and lyrics have touched me and many times moved me to tears from your very first album to today. Thanks for all the great tunes over the years.
Il mondo ha bisogno di ragazze come te! Persone che rendono più bello quello che le circonda. Che con un sorriso, uno sguardo una canzone regalano emozioni. Grazie Mary! Buona vita!
An overdue thank you for creating the soundtrack, and being the songstress of life for “girls like us” for the past 30 plus years. Deep gratitude for being a gentle spirit, a reflective soul and a mighty truth teller. Since you asked, check out Belgravia. My adult daughter and I just binge watched this period piece series which focuses on the friendship between two older women.
You have heard it before, however it bears repeating - THANK YOU for these weekly songs from your heart to our ears, hearts, and souls! Your talents bless us with hope, peace, and love of self.
A captivating melody and vocal............ AND the exquisite musicianship that MCC adds with her 'piano-esque' Greven 'speaks' for itself.......thank you......and as always, God Bless
Hi there. I just had a yearn today to hear this song live and I ended up back in lockdown covid times. In some ways another era altogether. It was great to listen to songs like this back then with the connectedness we all sought then, and listening now in Oct 23 is still a joy. This ranks in my Top 10 MCC songs alongside 'In my heaven' and 'Goodnight America'. Thanks again.
Mary, you could not have picked a better song for this moment in time! We need to remove the plastic around ourselves. Allow people to look within. That's how we find the truest people in our lives. The heart is the best place to look. Some things are to never uttered to others it stays private and personal. Thank you my good friend for a beautiful song from a pure and steadfast heart.
Mary, your songs from home are a true gift as we struggle through these difficult times. Can I add my request... maybe others will request it too. "Hand on My Back" - what a beautiful song. Thank you for all you do for your grateful fans.
Good morning , Mary, to you and White Kitty and Angus and to you all. Mary, I'm just thinking about your comment last week regarding White Kitty and how she has earned her time now to be fabulous. That was so very well said. I just lost my two kitties this year after having them for 19 years. I love how you care so much for all of God's creation. Thank you for sharing your heart, your soul with us. It means so very much. Thank you for carrying on, for carrying us along with you. May you be richly blessed and cared for.
In addition to agreeing with all the great comments, I enjoy your playing so much, and love it when I can see your left hand on these finger picking songs 😊. Also, maY I suggest “Hand on my Back” - so relevant in this time of isolation.
I have always loved that song even though I'm a man. I married a girl like that 47 years ago and we are still strong to this day. Wrapping up from covid19 and it is almost gone. Been down for a month- bad stuff. Your music has kept me going and was always a ray of sunshine in this crazy world. Hopefully I'll be off quarantine soon and can go breath that fall air. God bless you Mary.
Oh man!! Am SO very glad to see your post! Have been thinking of and praying for you. Am DELIRIOUSLY happy that you are better! Keep it up! X Look after yourself WELL, please!
Schitt's Creek is a must if you love to laugh. Love to Angus, White Kitty and yourself, MCC. Thanks for being a highlight each and every week! Hugs from BC, Canada!
God bless you Mary- thanks for all you do!:) Fringe is a wonderful old sci-fi series for binge-watching. It has a pretty serious vibe at times- if you're looking for something purely fun, Masked Singer and Big Bang Theory are also great!:)
Playing some of your older lps this evening and this song also came up along with "grand central" and "ideas are like stars". We are about to shut down again for 3rd time tomorrow with covid variants out of control with under 50 yr olds filling icus. Looking for hope in the world as we are standing oñ the edge I am afraid. The world is growing so tired and weary from all this. Thank you for the gift of your recordings ms MCC. We are so fortunate to have them at hand until real concerts resume. Be well and stay safe both you and Angus. 👍😷🇨🇦
Hello Mary! In searching UA-cam for a certain female saxaphonist, I stumbled into Sina, an awesome 22 year old drummer in Germany. Sina does collaborations with young singer/songwriter/musicians all over the world. In one of her projects, Sina produced a video with a young singer named Emily Linge, who did a cover of this song. So, I thought let's find Mary and see her version. My point in all this, is that it is a joy that young singers & musicians all over the world are covering the music I grew up with from the 60s and beyond and found you! Emily sings like an angel & plays piano. Her version of Girls Like Me is very beautiful. Clearly, she & I love your music and who wouldn't? You are a treasure! Thank you and God bless you. I have to run and crank up Twist & Shout.👍🏻❤️
Thanks MCC,Always a pleasure to share these moments with you. Snowy and cold today but our warm fire and your incredible voice are just the trick to keep us cozy. Stay safe- stay mighty
Hi from Helena MT. Snowing & cold here near the Great divide. Thanks. Song reminds me of several girls that I knew & have passed. Thanks. Stay warm & healthy.
Whenever I want to explain ‘me’ to anyone, I just send them this song. Thank you for writing the life of girls like me. It always helps me feel accompanied. 🙂
Another fine example of your gift of combining words and melody to reach our hearts. Even as a male I can identify with what you're singing, since I've been the "guy like me" often... thank you again.
Those boots! The stories they could tell🥾🥾. Love them. Hope this walk “filled your tank” ... I’m sure you struggle some days like everyone, know you’re not alone. You have many Soul Companions around the world, a community of individuals that care about you the person. 🐸🍂🌸🌟
Great song and yes, I do know girls like these...and they are special angels. binge watching new... “Mystery Road” not sure what but... “Home Fires”.. “Silent Witness”...Marcella”... “Longmire”...’Borgias”...
Thank you again for sharing your home and music with us. You may have already seen it but on PBS Passport is a series from Belgium "Professor T". We also enjoyed all three seasons of Unforgotten on Passport. Thanks again.
Ormai è come il pranzo della domenica in famiglia... Qualcosa che ti coccola e ti rassicura. Grazie della tua disponibilità Mary, e che sia un bel momento per tutti. Buona vita!
"Girls Like Me" is one of my faves, and I get it on a personal level. Such a vulnerable song, too. I was impressed at your willingness to share it then, and now. As for binge shows, you've probably already seen them, but they are worth seeing again: West Wing, Mary Tyler Moore, Parenthood, This Is Us (new season coming soon!); and, if you can get it, the abruptly canceled Joan of Arcadia. Enjoy!
This is beautiful and sad, hits too close to home, I guess. Have you done a Songs from Home for “In My Pirate Days”? I have always loved that song! I look forward to seeing you every Sunday, you brighten up my week!
Hi Mary and friends. I know and love a girl like you. Though we are not life partners we are life long soul mates and kindred spirits. She also is a gifted song writer and I share your songs with her and often wonder why we didn’t find our love when we were young. We each have separate lives now but the feelings we share run deep and I often wonder how life may have been with her. Thank you for for your wonderful music.
I voted the first week of receiving my mail ballot and the next day saw that it was accepted as valid. Great to know my vote counted. Now to wait for sanity again in our country. Thank you Mary Chapin for the songs and weekly Angus and White Kitty updates. Enjoying your new music along with some classics, like the one with the junk drawer with all the items that don't have a use anymore. I started with Hometown Girl and still love that album. Thankful for the music!
Dear mary, angus and kitty! You are the songwriter of this beautiful song from episode 43, which you performed beautifully. You have been delighting people with your songs for a long time and exude confidence. thank you very much for that. stay healthy and love greetings.💞🍀❤👍
I have to thank you for being the soundtrack of my life-have been listening since the early ‘90s You have been with me through falling in love, getting married, and divorce. Actually had tickets to two of your concerts in Aug., one in Maine and one in MA. Hopefully will see you again in person. As for bingeing-found a newer series on the epix channel (comcast ?). It is called Brittania. Season 2 is ongoing.
We could all do with knowing a girl like you Mary. The world would be a gentler place. Line of Duty from the BBC utterly compelling if you need a binge worthy series
With your songs I feel your heart...a few threads apart...an intimate feeling you depart...and yet a void soon follows amid the hollows of humanity...I miss the warmth of your presence and your smile...your touch I may never know but your essence I will long to feel...
Songs like this one and "The long way home" don't get covered very often, even in concert. But these are such fine songs and among the best MCC has written. And there are SO many.
Thank you for another song. For more binge watching, I'm personally making my way through "The West Wing" for the FOURTH time. There are still scenes that I'd swear I've never seen before. I'm unsure if that's a reflection on the quality of Sorkin's writing or my lousy memory. When I rewatch "The Newsroom" that doesn't seem to happen nearly as often. YMMV.....
Did you see Sorkin et al on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert as they were about to have a special new episode in 10/2020 on the same day the real life presidential debates were NOT held? Want to see what I can do about streaming as it was on a platform subscription.
Mary, so many of your songs go right to my soul. I hadn’t heard this one, but it really made my day. Thank you for your beautiful music and sharing yourself along with Angus and White Kitty! I loved the series Doc Martin with Martin Clunes. Beautiful setting in Cornwall, England. I’m not sure if you can get it on Netflix. Martin Clunes also made some awesome documentaries on dogs, horses etc I really loved. He is delightful in them.
Ahhhh.... what would my Sunday mornings be without your sweet songs? Forever grateful. Love flowing your way from Birch Bay, WA from me, Nanda (rescue golden) and Sukanya (rescue Tuxedo.) xxx
Great song MCC ! I use to be the girl in that song . What little did I know then I was actually happier compared to being in a relationship that sucked the life out of me. I am proud to say that there is no person on this planet that could make me change my ways to impress them. You get what you see and proud of it ! It's liberating....Life to short.
I love going back to listen to all of these home concerts. Such a wonderful feel to them all. Thank you for your music.😊
Your music and lyrics have touched me and many times moved me to tears from your very first album to today. Thanks for all the great tunes over the years.
It brightens my day to hear you sing!
Thank you so much 💕
I am so grateful you are still singing and playing for us.
Thank you for gifting us all with your artistry and lyrics with such emotional resonance that the music plays the role of harmony.
Il mondo ha bisogno di ragazze come te! Persone che rendono più bello quello che le circonda. Che con un sorriso, uno sguardo una canzone regalano emozioni. Grazie Mary! Buona vita!

Another Ray of Sunshine in my life Miss Mary. Thank you and God Bless You, Angus and White Kitty. ♥♥☺☺
Thank you, Mary. What a beautiful song. Our hearts are full when we have songs from home. Have a wonderful day. 🙏❤️
A captivating melody and vocal............ AND the exquisite musicianship that MCC adds with her 'piano-esque' Greven 'speaks' for itself.......thank you......and as always, God Bless
I love this song and I love the picture at the beginning with your boots in the pretty leaves. You make our Sunday morning so special! Thank you!
Such a connective song Mary Chapin Carpenter, your guitar has a nice sound. Thank you for coming into our homes, be well Mary Chapin Carpenter ❤️

Oh man!!
Am SO very glad to see your post!
Have been thinking of and praying for you. Am DELIRIOUSLY happy that you are better! Keep it up! X
Look after yourself WELL, please!
Great song from the past! Married 47 years, also, I was lucky there are girls like her, and you Chaplin!
Thanks for the prayers!!!!
Great song...proud to be a girl...binge on Six Feet Under...great series with great actors..please stay safe and mighty 💪❤😷
McLeod's Daughters is an Excellent series. It's one of my favorites.

Dear Mary your musicality is masterful and style of picking is super wonderful.
Very nice & who wouldn't want a girl like you!
NEW TRICKS on Amazon Prime💖excellent binge. Thanks, MCC and co.
Thank you for this lovely rendition of a great sharing song. My family are currently enjoying The Marvellous Mrs Maisel.
God bless you Mary- thanks for all you do!:) Fringe is a wonderful old sci-fi series for binge-watching. It has a pretty serious vibe at times- if you're looking for something purely fun, Masked Singer and Big Bang Theory are also great!:)
Thank You Mary for another Blessing!
Always loved this tune. Thanks
Playing some of your older lps this evening and this song also came up along with "grand central" and "ideas are like stars".

Watch “The Crown”....absolutely stunning! Love your music, warmth, 💕.....Stay well! Mia
So very beautiful!
THANK YOU.
Love that song! If you haven't seen "Better Call Saul" and of course, "Breaking Bad". The writing and acting is stellar.
Beautiful. Just like you. Reminds me of John Denver.

Beautiful song 💐
Thank you for another beautiful song, Mary! A couple great series to binge watch if you haven’t seen them are Longmire and Father Brown. Stay mighty!
This is what I live for! MCC thank you for the wonderful songs from home you give us every sunday.

Mary! Thank you so much! It warmed my soul💚
🌵🌞 I listened to this song at the premiere, an hour later I was still thinking about the lyrics. Your performance evokes a range of emotion. Beautiful
The colors are gorgeous, warm, like your music.
Sweet tune!
The Great British Baking Show has gotten a lot of our attention. Also, the last dance (if you like basketball).
You are amazing and thank you for your sharing.
Oh for a girl like you! Thank-you xxx
I love this song but I still believe you are a rare find, Mary.
Beautiful .... Thanks ... 🎩
