“I thought a light went out,
but now a candle shines
I thought my tears wouldn’t stop,
but then I dried my eyes
And after all of this,
the truth that holds me here
is that this emptiness
is something not to fear”

Beautiful song and meaningful words. Femme A La Guitare is very colourful as well as reflective.

I never knew who Mary Chapn Carpenter was. I watched the video and enjoyed it. She has a powerful voice and plays the guitar well. I often play my guitar and sing for my own pleasure.

I didn’t know you could sing and play guitar, Ally! 😎 What is your favorite music for playing? Mary Chapin Carpenter is new to me, also – a poet and story teller with such a unique voice. Thanks for visiting, Ally! ❤️

I enjoy a variety of music. My favourites would be John Denver, The Carpenters, Abba, Seekers. I enjoy country music, most of the songs have been written about life experiences . Music is so good for the soul especially singing. I hope to join a choir this year. 🙂
