LYRICS
A never-ending winter
Rests above this island
While on the other side of the world
Skies are far brighter
I'll get away somehow
By aeroplane or sea and
Escape this streaming cold
That never wants to leave

So I'll take another step towards happiness
and let this sunshine rule
'cause loneliness is just a word
don't let it take you too

I'll make myself journey
Across a foreign land
Find myself in places
I'd never have imagined
If I'd stayed in England
The gloom would overtake me
The rain would drown my soul and
No one could save me

So I'll take another step towards happiness
and let this sunshine rule
'cause loneliness is just a word
don't let it take you too

Now I'm on the other-side
Digging my feet in the sand
Watching the waves crash and
Admiring my golden sun tan
I miss the green of England
Maybe it will call me back
But for now I'm rested and loneliness is
No longer my only friend

So I'll take another step towards happiness
and let this sunshine rule
'cause loneliness is just a word
don't let it take you too

Mary flexing over everyone by playing and telling her story at the same is the best thing I’ve ever seen.

[tedwrink]

I can’t even keep on strumming in time if someone else walks into the room

[hershellumiere]

The way you're talking and playing guitar is fascinating. like you made no mistakes...

[joelfabes]

One of the cool things about this video is how you're talking in rhythm with the guitar: it's not just accompaniment, but it's changing the way you talk as well, putting the two elements in sync!

[CptBongue]

As someone who has studied public speaking, guitar playing, and singing... I am awestruck in so many ways!

[dannyfournier]

Hi Mary, I started finger style at the age of 13 and now at 62 I still only play finger style even on electric guitar . My finger nails are my picks and to be honest they are capable of not only strumming but bringing out subtleties that no one can achieve with a pick . I never watch what I play and often just close my eyes and let the art of the guitars amazing sounds become the songs melody and in my case the song because due to an illness I have i can no longer sing so my guitar sings . I love your music and the intuition and unique ability you have found . I will follow your path because you are genuine ✨

[npscole]

Now I want to know everything about the jail-break trip!

[amielaicart]

Almost one take, one frame, you kept almost completely still, and yet the story telling keeps you interested. And wow, what a voice...

[Iive]

The fact that this is 10 minutes of video all in one take 🤯

[keegan]

Put a smile on my face, I love seeing people glow and emanate happiness without gloating.

[jc-]

The real reason she is finger picking is because she losses a lot of picks

[Josh-gkww]

All these people talking about how they can't strum on their own without a mistake ... I can't even talk on my own without a mistake

[jeremyfagen]

When you get from Bristol to Perth without spending any money, and your name is mary SPENDER

[akalobo]

That was quite impressive! There's something really special about the sound of an acoustic guitar played fingerstyle.. much more enjoyable than using a pick in my opinion.

[ix-Xafra]

The monologue whilst playing quite sweetly had me impressed in the 1st few moments. Wow

[Filthy_Rich_]

This deserves a thumbs up. I can only imagine the amount of effort this video took. To flawlessly tell a story without so much as a stutter, while keeping good rythm on the guitar, then transitioning straight into the song. The song alone would have taken me a dozen takes. The finished product seems effortless, but I suspect you worked very hard in preparation for this.

[cupparuppa]

Ten years! Wow. These are the sorts of stories I love to hear from artists. They're incredibly inspiring for young musicians like myself. I've been playing the guitar for about 7-8 months now and your videos have been a huge inspiration and help to me. Hope I can find those stories that will help me break into my artistic center.

Keep doing what you're doing

[marykerrigan]

Loving the ref to KT Tunstall! Such an underrated artist ! And so worthwhile to see live - aside from being amazing musically - an absolute comedian !

Super chill video ! Loved it and the song

[SypherLXVII-MySixStringJourney]

I love the way that you delivered this story whilst playing (flawlessly) but what I really, really liked was the story behind the song. Another brilliant video Mary. Loved it.

I started learning guitar about 15 years ago, but then stopped when I found dancing. I dedicated all my free time to improving my skills there, but I've always felt a bit of a hole in my heart where the guitar was. I recently picked it back up and it took a bit to remember that the first songs I first started learning to play included Landslide and Dust in the Wind. Thanks for reminding me why I love fingerstyle so much. You're incredible. I wish you all the success you deserve.
