Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Kate Wolf - Love Still Remains From: BlueJay Date: 23 Feb 02 - 03:40 AM Goddam, Spaw, you're fast. But that still leaves the "Two Way Waltz". I can't remember it myself, but I know that WyoWoman does. She sings a great version of it and in spite of her insistence that she can't play guitar, does a good job. I think a PM to her from us both is in order, but then, I'm a big Kate Wolf fan. BlueJay |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Kate Wolf - Love Still Remains From: GUEST,Bob Saunders Date: 23 Feb 02 - 10:08 AM Thanks folks!! I was wondering if there is another version of Love Still Remains? I seem to recall a lyric about the "tumbleweeds"...or am I crazy..? (not mutually exclusive, however) Bob |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Kate Wolf - Love Still Remains From: BlueFolk Date: 23 Feb 02 - 10:32 AM "And rooms locked the time away", it sounds more like she's singing "and grows (a rose?)like tumbleweed", on the studio version. Still have to check the live version. |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Kate Wolf - Love Still Remains From: BlueFolk Date: 23 Feb 02 - 12:01 PM I've checked Kate's original version and the live (Austin) version. Plus that terrible cover version by EmmyLou. And indeed the lyrics are different from what is given in the first post. In the chorus indeed there are 'tumbleweeds', also in the version of EmmyLou Harris. Though the chorus is repeated a few times, hearing the 3 version I could not make out all the words. The best I could guess is that it goes something like: It remains - blows down the dusty streets And rides(?) the falling rain And (g?)rows like a tumbleweed Out on the open range(?) The love I felt for you still remains But I really do need help of any american or englishman who can make sense out of what is being sung. Is it range or plain etc, I can't make it out and Kate's poetry doesn't really make sense to me. The verses inbetween are better to understand for me, they go like: I went home to a place I swore I'd never see again Lord it's different now there's hardly anything that hasn't changed And the friends I've known have grown and moved away But the love I felt for you still remains I walked down past the building, standing empty and unused Where you asked me one more time if I'd stay And then you cried when I refused But that was long ago, I moved away and I changed my name But the love I felt for you still remains I could say that I always thought you'd be there when I came But you wanted more and I could say the same Now I'm leaving like a whistle on a lonesome boxcar train But the love I felt for you still remains Note that there are a lot of differences with the lyrics earlier given in this thread. In some lines EmmyLou sings another line than Kate. I've written down Kate's words. Emmy Lou sings like a boxcar instead of whistle etc. But I'd like to forget her lamentable version, Harris version never should have been recorded... |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Kate Wolf - Love Still Remains From: catspaw49 Date: 23 Feb 02 - 12:23 PM Sorry .... I'll take Emmylou. Obviously our mileage varies....(:<)) Spaw |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Kate Wolf - Love Still Remains From: BlueFolk Date: 23 Feb 02 - 12:57 PM To me, in 95 out of 100 I prefer the original version by the writer, better than any cover. And this is no exception. As for this song, Kate's warm voice, to me, sounds so much better than the a bit overdone, sentimental way EmmyLou sings it... But anyway, tastes vary. And spaw, can you help me make sense out of the words of the chorus? |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Kate Wolf - Love Still Remains From: catspaw49 Date: 23 Feb 02 - 01:11 PM It remains - blows down the dusty streets And rides(?) the falling rain And (g?)rows like a tumbleweed Out on the open range(?) The love I felt for you still remains Based on this one, let's see........"Rides" could be correct, but I would find "grows" less preferable to "rolls"......Then, from a purely rhyming aspect, "plain" works better than "range" although the words are kinda' synonymous. The first line indicates movement.....As in.."It (our love) still remains no matter what----blowing down a dusty street, riding on the rain drops, or rolling like a tumbleweed across the plain (or range)...Our love still remains the same." I dunno'.......Works somewhat for me. Make any sense? Spaw |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Kate Wolf - Love Still Remains From: BlueFolk Date: 23 Feb 02 - 01:12 PM Sorry, I should have searched Mudcat, all the lyrics in this link, as was posted some time before.... |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Kate Wolf - Love Still Remains From: catspaw49 Date: 23 Feb 02 - 01:35 PM HEY!!! I got it right......I'm amazed........well, except for the pplain/range thingy............ Spaw |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Kate Wolf - Love Still Remains From: GUEST,jaze Date: 23 Feb 02 - 06:37 PM I thought Emmylou sang "And rolls like a tumbleweed out on the open plain". It took me a couple times hearing her version, but I think she does a great job of it. I like the song more each time I hear it. |
Subject: Lyr Add: LOVE STILL REMAINS (Kate Wolf) From: BobS Date: 23 Feb 02 - 06:56 PM I got a copy of the Emmylou Harris version and here is how I read it:
{t:LOVE STILL REMAINS}
I[C] went home to a place I swore I'd never[F] see again
Oh that was long ago
It r[G]emains... it b[F]lows down the dusty streets SOLO
A[C]ll I can say is I always thought you'd be [F]there when I came |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Kate Wolf - Love Still Remains From: bflat Date: 23 Feb 02 - 10:28 PM It's just a beautiful song with a lot of truth in it. So who likes to play it in C and who likes C#? Not too much of a difference but noticeable. Ellen |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Kate Wolf - Love Still Remains From: WyoWoman Date: 24 Feb 02 - 07:06 PM Hey Saddle Pals, Here I am, with the Kate Wolf songbook right in front of me and *I* certainly didn't die of leukemia, Mr. Spaw.
The version I have, which is from the song book her son put out, is:
It remains,
I got the songbook from: I got it a year and a half ago, so I'm assuming the address will still be good. Thanks, BlueJay, for the props on my guitar-playing. I'm still underwhelmed with myself, but progressing steadily, even if it's millimeter by millimeter. ... ww |

I had to go back and read BJ's post again and then it was obvious that he wasn't the dumb shit...I was the dumb shit!! Well shitfire Bub......I ordered too many potato chips. Spaw |
