"It Won't Take Long" Ferron 

Shivers. Best rendition of this song I have loved for decades!!!🎆

What a gift she is. I relied on her wisdom and music for decades.

Saved my soul in the '80s for sure. Gave meaning to life for all...

What a poet! What a prophet! What a singer! What an artist!

Oh my Goddess!!! The One and Only! I flew from Sydney to Michigan in 1998 because she was on the line up of Michigan Womyn's Music Festival. I needed to feel her energy and soul and be right there in front of the podium. She's a magician with words. I bought her CD there and fell apart in front of her and could only utter, 'You saved my life'. I sing many of her songs on guitar. Misty Mountain became my life song. So happy to see her here. And my name is Margo too. Thank you twin Sister. xx

Gosh, one of the most powerful performances I have ever seen. I’m a grown man and my kids are around so I better yawn to explain the teary 🥲 eyes.

I would never have made it without Ferron

Thank you all for your comments on this video. It was an absolute gift to be able to shoot and edit Jennifer Berezan's "Song for All Beings." And to produce this piece was particularly wonderful. Ferron personally asked for this piece to be distributed - and Jennifer in her generosity agreed. Pay it forward everyone. And thanks for viewing. Margo Dean

How is it possible I forgot how very powerful Ferron's work is.

Ferron. Forty years now her music and poetry have given me strength and uplift.

Saw her live twice in Albuquerque in the 80s. Fantastic woman and artist.

What an electrifying and timely rendition of this song. Such power and passion in Ferron and all the back up singers. Gave me chills and pierced my heart. Thank you, Ferron, for your beautiful soul's expression. What a gift you've been to us all for many years.

Beautiful!! Ferron inspired and empowered me in the 1980's and continues now. Thank you Ferron!

Holy shit! I was looking for a song for a friend and came upon this goegeous gem. I broke down. So moving! Thank you, Ferron. Thank you.

Lovely, lovely, lovely. By one of Canada's best songwriters.

Brilliant and poignant.Ferron you are Awesome.

You are amazing Ferron.

I just saw her perform in Oregon, in both Portland & Eugene - looking & sounding wonderful & powerful as ever. I drove many miles from home to see her & listen again and fill my soul & heart, as her music does. The only song I really missed in her shows was this one, also one of my favorite revolutionary anthems (as others have said) that has absolutely inspired me for over 30 years. So it was great to come back home & watch this powerful version. Love & appreciate the addition of “I will not be complacent!” and her sweet powerful Angel choir! Thank you for all the blessings you share with us Ferron, & thanks for taking & sharing this video Margo. This is an excellent time to share this inspiring & most essential song & message once again. 💜

I remember hearing this years ago when I was much younger, Ferron is still sharing her messages and soulfulness. Breaking our hearts open, "We must not be complacent."

Loved Ferron years ago - happy happy happy to hear this now!

A magnificent interpretation of a powerful song. Sent chilled down my spine. Love, Love Ferron

Fabulous! I am so glad this happened

Wow. An awesome take on one of my favorite Ferron songs.

A True visionary

What an extraordinary wordsmith and performer! I think I'm in love :)

this has been my vision since i first heard early version, long ago. If we can dream it, we can build it. THIS recording is my favorite version yet.

We are not afraid of WHY? That's pretty powerful!! Now is not the time to be complacent. VOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had never heard of Ferron before today!! :o

It's just so important now- no matter how long ago it was written or performed. Thank you for posting this. I'm so moved by this.

Very moving! Love the spoken word rendition...highlights the lyrics of a powerful song. Thank you so much Ferron for sharing your immense talent and Margo for producing a fine document to the power of art.

A poet and so relevant now and then! I heard her when she first came out. Wow just as powerful in this time as before and maybe more so as we are older and maybe wiser.

..." I will Not be complacent!"

This brought me to tears!!!

If you are not walking in your dream, than you are definitely walking in someone else's!!

I am so very proud to call this beautiful being my sister. She has been my guiding light for all my life. Love you Sis

And event of a life-time!! So wonderful to see everyone on stage, and I send love to each. Seeing and hearing Ferron here, with this song, with Gina’s vocals, with all the voices; with these words; these words...this music...that moment, and this moment. Thank you Jennifer, Julie, Melanie and All ❤️🙏🏾❤️😍❤️🙏🏾❤️

Thanks to all for this . I lost someone I loved very much 21 years ago today and was told "You don't know what you have until you lose it." We must hold on to what we've got!

THANKYOU with ALL OF MY HEART !! This is so moving I was in tears most of the song ! LOVE YOU ETERNALLY ONE UNIVERSE IS REALITY. - Lorien en Soleil

Speechless here. Excuse me now, I have a beautiful artist to investigate.

an amazing strong poet

Love

Thank you - Thank you so much I am filled to continuehealing the dream

That is such a powerful song, Ferron: my favourite anthem! Too bad we weren't singing this in Grade One instead of God Save The Queen and Oh Canada.

"do we have to live inside its walls to identify the cage?"

So glad to see/hear this!

Sharon Washington......I am so happy to see you on stage singing. I lost your contact info years ago, and have always thought of you. Huge hug and blue skies to you. My address and email are the same if you still have them.

Would you please provide a list of the singers? Thanks.

So what do we do... the story of HUMAN oppression by OTHER humans is as long as we've been here and nothings improved.....

a little too angry for my taste, no matter the gender.
