    The first time I ever heard of Iris, I was driving in the country and listening to A Prarie Home Companion. She was introduced and began singing this song, and I had to pull off the road...
    Iris sings from her heart with such unadorned sincerity.

    The big picture versus the smaller picture. Joy to your mother, lover and friends is important but recognizing ones others value is important too. Everyone has them. If you ever look in on theses comments Iris, know that we love you.

      I first saw Iris perform, in Minneapolis, in August 1994. The following day my younger brother was in a motorcycle accident. He died three weeks later. His wife, a singer herself, sang "My Life" at his memorial. I love Iris dearly, have attended every concert she had in Minnesota, and have all her recordings. But I can't listen to "My Life" again - it's just too sad.

    I just realised this is thirty years old now this year. It just adds to the depth of the lyrics. Since then I have divorced, my parents have both died, my brother's son died in a car crash, his daughter escaped a dodgy relationship, one of my daughters went all religious yet had to get a restraining order, the other has gone through three husbands trying to find the right man. Just life I guess.

    I cannot hear this without visualising the scene in the film Mister Lonely and the caricatures painted on eggs of the various characters in the film, which then dissolve into the actors as they lip synch with the song. It is a weird film that has very moving moments.
