   So sad all yesterday at the news, I couldn’t listen without tears. The soulful beauty of Kate’s music shaped much happiness and love in our lives. RIP. You are with us forever.

   I have always found this a moving song, but with the sad loss of Kate it is even more so.

    Feel so moved again – these voices – these gathered musicians – since the early 70ies this song was one of my guidelines in life – in beauty. Bye… dear Kathie! (R from amsterdam)

    Every word is laden with sadness and bittersweet experience. And Kate reaches so deep inside herself with her achingly beautiful delivery. Indcidentally, it isn’t long since I heard Liam Clancy speak the words “I bid farewell to the State of old New York, my home away from home” with almost as much poignancy in his last recorded interview before he died last month.

    kate…you and anna have no idea how, since 1976, you have helped me. more than Any other singers you have eased me thru rough times. out of 3000 albums, i can quite easily say the first mcgarrigles would always be the one i would want with me……kate, now you are “traveling on with Jesus”…smile, sigh

    years ago i was lucky enough to see Kate and Anna McGarrigle live in concert at Chicago’s School of Folk. what was especially nice was the way they often switched instruments (guitar, banjo, piano) from number to number. but of course the highlight was the glorious harmony when the sisters sang together. for their encore they performed their signature song, Mendocino. when the lights came up i looked around the room and saw i certainly wasn’t the only one with tears left in my eyes.

    I never heard of her. I did just watch the video though, and what a angelic voice…RIP Kate

    One of the most perfect songs ever written. And in the words of some other singer ‘you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone’!
    This, this beauty. This sadness. What a mournful day.

    An amazing Canadian talent; can’t believe how sad I am today.

    YouTube, why is the only available thumbnail for this video of Karen Matheson?? Surely at least one of the sisters…

    Quite simply the most beatiful song I have ever heard. Harmony; lyrics, instrumentals. Just perfect.

    I wonder why the Mcarrigles get so little exposure on mainstream media ( here in the UK anyway). Is it perhaps an age thing? I am knocking on a bit, I wonder if it has appeal to a younger audience?
