I got very excited when I saw your reply, and looked it up immediately. Unfortunately, while the song you directed me to IS an interesting one, with all sorts of fascinating layers and background things happening... it's not the same one I'm thinking of. The song I'm trying to find is much simpler: just one woman's voice, accompanied ONLY by an acoustic guitar. No pianos, drums, or anything else. The song had a definite "rural" sound to it, a folk/country flavor. I remember the singer's voice as sounding quite a bit older than the Spelling artist you suggested, with a very strong regional accent that would place her somewhere in the American Southeast. But still, I thank you for your attempt to help me figure it out!more »
Some 30-ish years ago, I had a cassette tape put out by a woman who sang and played guitar in a country/folk style, and all these decades later, I still sometimes have bits of one of the songs stuck in my head. I don't remember the name of the artist, the song, or the record, only a couple lines from one of the songs. It was about a woman finding a fawn curled beside it's mother, that had died beside the creek in the woods behind her house. She took care of the fawn for almost a year, feeding it and sheltering it, until it finally got old enough and strong enough to take off on her. She sings to it as it leaves, realizing how lonely she's going to be after it's gone. The part I can remember went: "Please come back little deer, you're my friend and companion out here. Come back to stay, come back any day, it's lonesome without you out here." I lost that cassette tape YEARS ago, and have spent so much time since trying to find that song again, but no one else I know seems to have ever heard of it. The particularly frustrating part, is that the woman who put the record out WASN'T anyone really especially famous. Pretty sure that was the ONLY record she ever put out. It made an impact on me, though, so I'd love to be able to find it again.more »
Kind of a country/folk type song, sung by a woman. Don't remember the name of the artist, the song, or the album, just a small piece of the lyrics: "Please come back little deer, you're my friend and companion out here. Come back to stay, come back any day, it's lonesome without you out here." Song is about an elderly woman that takes care of a fawn whose mother died beside the creek, until it gets older and stronger and leaves her. I'm pretty sure the artist wasn't anyone terribly famous, but she DID put out at least the one record, because I had it on cassette tape. Lost it years ago, though.more »
