Meg Baird "Don't Weigh Down the Light" (Official Video) 

Faith in American folk restored.

Perfect song and the video just nails it

I did spend one day last week just listening to all my Meg Baird/Heron Oblivion albums - simply one of my favourite vocalists ever

I don't remember subscribing to this channel, or why I did, but every so often it comes up with little gems like this.

Watching this getting a swift restoration in the power of folk

A longterm fan of the wonderful Meg Baird,(& Espers)Such light gentle vocals♡ sigh...Does anyone else still have their home produced cd 'The Baird Sisters'?-)××

If I could only take one album with me to a desert island it would have to be this one.

Beautiful haunting sound! Love it!!

such a lovely vibe !!

Meg, great performance in London yesterday...but to short. Come back crazy girl! :) Beautiful....

Really tremendous

here are the lyrics i got after i mailed to ask the record company: So small and such a doll And where will you sleep tonight Oh shame days, the way they sting memory And we've just been staying in and playing bummer jams Around and around they go Back to when I knew your name And how I don't miss those long summer days Oh when I'd dream of rain Where do we draw circles closed When our dearest hurt the most? When they turn away, or just have to go We watch through silver leaves Through broken dark Through eyes closed We move to happier days And forget the year when bummer jams helped keep the lights on here And you thought your sad songs could save the night Could weigh down the light just long enough to keep her
