I just had a random memory of walking past a coffee shop on west 4th in Vancouver, around 1991 and seeing Jane Siberry sitting at the seat in the window. I stopped because I recognized her from Much Music. We looked at each other and I felt awkward and kept walking. I couldn't remember who that was and did a search. I completely forgot that I loved this song. Weird how memories just pop up. Still a great song.

A gem of a song. A gem of a human being.

how jane can look so happy but also on the verge of crying when she is playing with John and the rest of the band is something truly extraordinary to see, but maybe I'm wrong.
I love this song, this record so so much.
I just turned 60, prior to doing so I wrecked my old country squire wagon real bad trying to get to a doctors office.
this video makes me so happy though.
I've never seen it before, and it reminds me of when I was young kayaking out in nature and hanging around playing with friends as a bassist....
oh to be young again, but then again the memories from over the years keep me going.
thanks Jane.
your music is nothing short of magnificent.

A song more important now then ever. I am so sorry Jane, that since this song was written its been downhill. Wake up people. 1 earth

"the slowness of the falling leaves across this warm november door/and the geese the flying southness the arms out evermore.."

I'm a 68 year old man going on 24 and grew up on CSNY, and their harmonies. Whilst too young and remote to attend the original Woodstock, the dream of their generation lives-on in the hearts and minds of the switched-on, perceptive, gentle folk
who appreciate the wonder and magic of this natural paradise we are custodians of. So it is with OPEN ARMS that I embrace the music of JANE SIBERRY and especially in my latter years, I have found the only consolation of a life of SEARCHING, is to understand that appreciating BEAUTY in ALL ITS FORMS, together with THANKFULNESS, is the only PERFECT way to LIVE. Thank You JANE, for bringing so much BEAUTY to this world.

"Bound By the Beauty"

I'm bound by the fire
I'm bound by the beauty
I'm bound by desire
I'm bound by the duty
I'm coming back in 500 years
And the first thing I'm gonna do
When I get back here
Is to see these things I love
And they'd better be here, better be here
Better be here
And first I'm going to find a forest
And stand there in the trees
And kiss the fragrant forest floor
And lie down in the leaves
And listen to the birds sing
The sweetest sound you'll hear
And everything the dappled
Everything the birds
Everything the earthiness
Everything the verdant, the verdant, the verdant
The verdant dream
I'm bound by the fire
I'm bound by the beauty
I'm bound by desire
I'm bound by the duty
I'm coming back in 500 years
And the first thing I'm gonna do
When I get back here
Is to see these things I love
And they'd better be here, better be here
Better be here
And then I'm going to find an open field
And lie down in the flowers
And then I'm going to find a guitar
And play, play, play for hours
And then I'm going to find a river
To see what kind of body in
And everything the granite
Everything the kiss
Everything the earthiness
Everything the verdant, the verdant, the verdant
The verdant dream
I'm bound by the beauty
I'm bound by desire
I'm bound to keep returning
I'm bound by the beauty of the light
The slightest change, the constant rearrange
Of light upon the land
I'm bound by the beauty of the wind
That blows across the earth
The unfetteredness the wheatness
And through the flying hair
The slowness of the falling leaves
Across this warm November door
And the geese the flying southness
The arms out evermore, I'm bound by the snow

This song has a hint of Bruce Cockburn in it. Great tune.
