We just got home from the show--an outdoor concert in the rain in downtown Billings, Montana. I've never seen Marc live before, so let me say the music stands up well in a live venue. He played all of the songs a Cohn novice would want to hear, and the new stuff is wonderful. I love a ballads, and Marc's draw so purely from his life in such universal ways that I was constantly wiping tears from my eyes, because his stories are my stories too. There are elements in all of them that conjure up moments from the past.....moments of heartbreak, of joy, and of long lost family memories. How can you listen to a song like One Safe Place and not sense the damage behind the lyrics along with the miraculous hope that love can be reborn?
Thank God Marc found his muse again!
