Sad news in a time of too much sad news.
I loved Kate and Anna’s music since first hearing Anna’s ‘Kitty Come Home.’ It seems to be a-musical-in-a-song where the kitty purrs and birds tweet and somebody's missing somebody.
Kitty Come Home
Both sisters wrote honest, touching, beautiful, intelligent songs. Has anyone written a finer song about feeling old and alone in our world then Kate’s ‘I Eat Dinner’?
I Eat Dinner
Lyrics
And who would have thought that leaving NY state could be such a sad experience?
Mendocino
Who but Kate and Anna would ask us about the Bronte Sisters, ‘What did they know - what could they know about love - or anyone know about love?’
Love Over and Over
Today I discover another Kate and Anna treasure that I never knew existed.
Kate & Anna McGarrigle - Deaf to Your Call
(If anyone has the lyrics, please PM me.)
Thank you for the beautiful words and music over many years, Kate. So sad. I miss you though we’ve never met.
Thank you and Anna and all your musical friends and family.
