I was not familiar with the name Marc Cohn until I started listening to all my husband's albums he downloaded. Seemed like every time I jumped up to check the artist and song title for the songs that drew my interest, it was Marc Cohn. No coincidence that I gravitated to Marc's music in the first few weeks after my husband left this earth. One Safe Place is a beautiful dream of Heaven. He is home, safe and at peace.
So sorry for your loss. We will all get to go to that “One Safe Place” someday. I’m glad you found Marc’s music. He’s one of my top three artists of all time.
Brothers & Sisters, This song came to me in my Wilderness Journey of over 4 years & in my 3rd country. I'm simply seeking one safe place of refuge without complying to a mask & Vaccine. I love you & appreciate you. Pray for me. Amen I'm in Guatemala seeking refuge 😊
Really like Marc’s restrained musicality. Just these three chords - C, G, D (IV, I, V in the key) - morphed into C9, G6, and D9 by the drone of the D-E interval (transposed up five frets, I know, I know). It’s minimalist genius. His soulful plucking just nails it down. And then there’s that voice.
Marc Cohn is one of my favorite singers ever ! So incredibly talented--every song is soul-filled and moves me. Absolutely LOVE "One Safe Place" --beyond beautiful..THANKYOU ! You bet I'll contribute to your brilliant musicians--wish I had a million $ to give you ! Please keep using your incredible gifts to make this crazy world a better place ! You're the best, Marc and your wonderful musicians !
Mr. Cohn, please come to good old germany, when the times right for you. And take your friends in music with you. WE need good sessions like this to feel human, thats it.
The closing-credits song to the wonderful, amazing film "The Upside of Anger". Find it and watch it. You will love Joan Allen and Kevin Costner, and Marc Cohn, all the more.
Today I play this song in honour of the peoples of the world being hounded out and chased away and killed and mamed *by the so-called great powers* from the only home they know.
How many roads you've traveled How many dreams you've chased Across sand and sky and gravel Looking for one safe place Will you make a smoother landing When you break your fall from grace Into the arms of understanding Looking for one safe place Life is trial by fire And love's the sweetest taste And I pray it lifts us higher To one safe place How many roads we've traveled How many dreams we've chased Across sand and sky and gravel Looking for one safe place
