Ok
- of course I am always amazed how the universe works in magical ways.
I was just speaking with my neighbor who just let me know they are going around the world in July and August.
They decided not to rent but are thinking about the idea of a house-sit.
-if I know someone trustworthy, they will even give use of the car.
different month but speedy response.

Thank you for the food for my spirit, your voice, your songs on “When I was A boy” and your warmth towards your listeners you show on this site. Come to Australia soon, please.
I had the honor & privilege to see Jane perform in Portland, OR.
Soon after I wrote and dedicated this poem to her.
LADY JANE
Night frost shimmers on lighted streets
Our hot breath billows white clouds
as marquis greets
Patrons entering “Aladdin Theater”, now past its prime
Outlived its peers, impervious to time
Tickets bought, blue stamp on left hand,
Walk down aisle, past a busy stagehand
Soft music playing as we claim front row seat
Take a metal backed chair on a floor of concrete
We’re early, there’s time to connect with friends
House lights go dim…the bantering ends
Haunting sounds, soft music begins to play
A gentle voice sings not far away
With confident strides Lady Jane takes center stage
Exuding beauty, grace as from some distant age
Her melodious voice commands time to stand still
Vibrations move within, my senses drink their fill
With mystery and magic from a Priestess beheld
She speaks of today’s children wisely compelled
To change world chaos with eyes that can see
She speaks of what they must do so all can simply Be
She speaks of oneness with compassion and love,
Akashic wisdom channeled from above
She speaks of the freedom of simplifying her life
By cutting out possessions with an invisible knife
I close my eyes, roll them up, so third eye can see
Lady Jane’s final message to my brethren and me
‘Love one-another and be separate no more,
For love is the answer to end strife and war’
My eyes then opened fresh and anew
Consciousness soaring, “What a view”
Jane asks us, “Will you marry me, for the rest of your life? ‘
We answer“Yes, Goddess, Madonna, you can be our wife”
For you’re “The Bride of the Ages” since before time began
From the time before “The Patriarchy” imposed its ban
By suppressing female aspects in women and men
With the slash of a sword and the stroke of a pen
Began the erosion of man’s soul, a perilous trend…
The time is at hand this madness end
(Dedicated to Jane Siberry)

Jane,
It would be wonderful if you could work here in Marin to avoid the cold in Toronto.
Is there someone you can stay with?
Better yet -
Does anyone have a place for Jane and her dog to stay in Marin County in March and April.
Hi Jane. I love all your music with the exception of the most recent album. It’s terrible. But I still love you.
not bad. you could have thrown me out with the bathwater.
i’ve listened to it many times and it still stands up. like one long song. so if you can get past your first impression (now that that is over) try to give it another shot with different ears. the temple section has the most spoken word so perhaps skip over that.
hi jane. missing you in boston. hope you get a chance to make it back this way soon.
watch for my next museletter/facebook request.
Hi Jane,
Being an ardent music fan, one of my favorite things has always been to turn people on to good music of all kinds that they may not have heard otherwise (needless to say you’ve been recommended to them all, as well as Shawn Colvin, The Innocence MIssion, The Roches, even Rammstein!). Who is the last artist or group you heard that made you really want to spread the word about them?
so many. i’m not a great example person. pardon me.
I was putting a playlist of songs about hockey together, and couldn’t find Hockey on the iTunes. Thanks for letting us have it.
Justin
itunes usa or itunes canada?
did the bound by the beauty cd here have the ‘censored’ version on it, too? would you like that?
iTunes Canada. Bound by the Beauty had both versions on it, but thank you for the offer.
Hi, sweetie, hope it feel rightly good to have all the love you kindly share, back.
i look forward to when we can all feel how others love us and be more warmed by it.
I have been trying to find a copy of the music for The Valley all over the internet. Pleanty of lyrics posted, but no music. Could you tell me where I could get a copy of it, even if its just the chords.
hi tim, i will put the sheet music up on the ‘music’ page for you today. transaction options are at ‘transaction’ page.
done. let me know if any problems downloading.
Jane,
Thank’s for that. Downloaded fine as a PDF file. I assume as it is written in the key of E that it was written on the guitar, which is just as well as I am a better guitarist than keyboard player. I think k d lang does it in Db which a bit neither here or there musically. Beututiful song!
Thanks so much for your generosity.
Jude and Tim.
Thanks very much Jane.
I’ll try and download it later. You might want to try and get it on somewhere like SheetMusicDirect.com as I’m sure I’m not the only person in the world who loves this song and wants the music? I’ve tried all those sort of websites and noone had it.
Dear Jane:
I love the “Calling all angels” very much!Could you give me a Lyrics of it? I can’t find it on chinese website.Thanks!
And by the way: In China ,happy sprig festivel!
‘calling all angels’ lyrics here. if you’d like the sheet music, i’ll put it up on the music page for everyone. good idea!
done.
please look for it. if you don’t find it easily just using logic, please tell me so i can make whereabouts ‘at-a-glance’.
Thank you very much!!!I love it!
I listened to it at the end of “Pay it forward”, and i think it’s amazing!
And thanks to your lyrics .Thank you very much!
I meant to enquire earlier – Jane, will you be coming to Wales anytime soon??? I notice a welsh dragon behind you on one of your photographs just a moment ago!! Have you been here recently?
no plans at this time, but hope to once again.
wales and jane:
jane’s dog, gwyllym, is from a farm in brecon. meshach is her welsh grandfather’s name. ‘you don’t need’ (no borders here) mentions ‘merthyr tydfyll’. jane’s mother called herself the dragon. jane like slate.
I know all these places – live very near to them, in Monmouthshire. Brecon area has very spiritual places -I find this area inspirational for painting and walking with my black dog (who also loves jane singing)….. lindie’s mother also loves jane and calls herself dragon sometimes. I love water (especially the sea),and stone, and shells……….
I still have your 1st vinyl album, there’s been no that has ever come close to you style, just love you. You went to Guelph with my boyfriends’ brother in the 80′s, he was very mesmerized by you surname MacQuairre I think Steve was his 1st name?
I’m a big patron of The Hugh’s Room in Toronto, I haven’t see you booked there in quite some time, do you have any bookings for Toronto in the future? Please please do share.
autumn possibly. will announce.
Can’t wait. I went looking for the lyrics to Calling All Angels that you mentioned you posted but couldn’t find?? Hint..
done.
please look again. if not ‘at-a-glance’ easy, i’ll find another way.
Hello jane, I have only recently ‘found’ you. Thank you so much for blessing my life with such spiritual and soul comforting music and rhythms. You are a beautiful gift to our world – wishes of love, peace and fulfillment go from my heart to you jane x
thank you, lindie. i wish you all the best, also.
Thank-you for the gift of music again Jane……I used to dance to you and your band at the Trent Inn in Peterborough, then on Queen St in Toronto (can’t remember the venue…I was always swept away to another dimension with your music and haunting vocals.
Living in the Ottawa valley now and just got high speed internet. I must say I am enjoying your tunes so much again. Life has been difficult lately and belting out “Calling all Angels” with you is terrific therapy. I can’ wait to explore your more recent material……

peterborough was a musical place – we played there alot. met the wonderful david ramsden there. did you ever see his ‘quiet please, there’s a lady on stage’ shows at the cameron. hope you are finding a way to change difficult to ‘diamond’.
Yes, peterborough was wonderful place to spend my high school years. It was a liberating place No, did not see David Ramsden at the Cameron I am sorry to say. Did catch Rev. Ken and the Lost Followers and Rick Fines tho’ (think his bands’ name has changed).
Vancouver must be an inspiring place to live…..my brother moved from Burnaby to Maple Ridge and loves it. Did a whirlwind five day visit four years ago….WOW what a city
I am hopeful the tide is turning, dreaming of calmer waters
Hey it is nice to talk to you….thanks for your time.
Daphne
Dear Jane,
I saw you last night at Yoshi’s in San Francisco, singing “Calling All Angels” – one of my favorite songs. I meant to thank you but slipped away before the show ended. I listen to a lot of different music, but for some random reason yours has provided the soundtrack for some of the warmest moments in my life.
You sounded and looked great last night. Glad to see you are well.
shawn colvin is a sister and a very musical being. singing together, that was just a start. i look forward to when we can REALLY work together with our voices and ‘make music’.
Hi Jane,
I’m doing radiation for breast cancer and am making up a radiation play list for myself. Did one of your songs have a lyric with the words “don’t give up” ? How about any with “fire” or “burn” – or anything else with the idea of destruction (ie destroying cancer cells). I just got on your email list in case you’ll come around my part of the world.
Thanks!
Kate Bush has a song “don’t give up”, it’s a duet with Peter Gabriel. Is this what you were thinking?
Yes, that’s the song. Thanks so much.
‘a train is coming’ (dragon dreams) has a line ‘don’t give up, get ready. prepare yourselves, get ready’ also: ‘half angel half eagle’ (bound by the beauty) has ‘get ready’ in it, but i don’t think you’d mean that song for your playlist. an excellent idea to create something positive. i’ve always disliked the ‘competition’ insinuation of music awards shows as i think the more music, the higher the resolution of the musical medicine cabinet. we need ALL of us.
Thanks, Jane. I’ll listen to those and see if they’ll work for my playlist. Thanks for your website!
“burning down the house”…talking heads
Thanks! I’ve got that one, Dynamite, Fireworks, and Blow. Also, Just Breathe, since all I can do during the treatments is Just Breathe. And Ground Control to Major Tom because I’m left alone with all this space ship equipment while the techs are in their control room watching me on monitors!
Moving!
Hi Jane…i thought of you at minus 26 degrees this morning as the sun came up into my little cove
my house was almost frozen,,and i sang,,first there was a fire,,little fire,,little cove
Years ago my kids pointed out a t-shirt that had my name, then I heard my name introduce a song!!! So, we both pronounce our name the same, but mine is spelled differently! Kudo’s to you as you have an amazing voice (I don’t) and would love to meet you someday! I live in East TN!
Dear Jane – Please come to the Sunshine Coast 0f BC
I have a studio on the Sunshine Coast of BC – we hold house concerts to try to keep musical things happening out here – so many venues disappearing. I love your music – we can hold up to 40 people (that’s a squeeze)
but it’s really intimate. If you’re ever thinking about coming out here and are still doing salon concerts, we would be blessed to have you. You can see some pictures of our space at http://www.straitsound.com – look at the “Gallery”. I met you once but briefly at a Juno after party – I used to be in Art Bergmann’s band. As I recall, we got kicked out of the venue for the usual reasons!
Well life is different now.
much respect, Susann
sounds excellent. one of the best ways to come and perform is to say there might be animals there! please join my js (museletter) or facebook page – when i send message out that i am interested in performance proposals, remind me. thank you!
They’re good peeps, Susann and Ray.
Hello!I have to tell you a short story.Sometimes in the 1980 there was shown a documentary on tv here in Finland and i thought the music was absolytelu fantastic.Back then internet was not common,didnt exsist?!And to find Jane Siberrys record and order them was a big process,but i managed and enjoyed the music.Now when we moved and i trough my stuff i found my old lp and started to listened.Then i went on internet and found that youre still making music and nowadays finding information and stuff is So much easier and im so glad that i found your music again,Thank You!
this makes me very glad. i will give the internet an extra cookie tonight.
an extra cookie! made me laugh
