❤️ you vivid story answers xx
Sophie, I love you!!
I love the song, if you asked me to, the lyrics are really great!
Hi everyone! This is so cool , SOPHIE! I always much enjoy your music and your wonderful thinking about things!!
That " So Good" song is a FUN one to listen to, I'd never heard it before. Thanks for the introduction Sophie B. Hawkins !
All the songs and lyrics are really great!!!
Dear Sophie. Every selection a classic performed by classic artists! Thank you.
Sophie YOU'RE so right: Sirpa Palm saw your show when she was 20something and didn't understand English : HOWEVER Sirpa loved your music and saw your show in Stockholm and here is a pic
Sirpa n Sophie aweeee 💞 ☺
Harbinger by Paula Cole is also one of my favorite all time CDs.
Hello sophie, I like to listen to your stories! You have a beautiful talking voice and singing voice!
Come to my window...
Yes!
😊
Dear Sophie. I know that Melissa is grieving the death of her son. But is there a chance for a reunion in the future? Maybe the 3 of you touring as a group? Concert halls and stadiums would sell out for sure! What about each of you contributing from your homes to a joint online streaming concert? The online concert would set the foundation for future collaboration. A new beginning!
Luv u Shophie! I hope see u soon with new music 4 all!
"Timbre" - quality of the tone. A very high quality indeed.
Hi Sophie! I missed you! It is so nice to see you again!!
You are amazing!
She is so right on so truthful ! This resonates with me, a painter and mosaic artist
Amy Tate - here’s your answer! - Team Sophie
Oh me too , don't we all !? I just love this woman ,marry me ! Lol
Damn I wish I were your lover!!!
"Sophie's Heart Belongs to Her Children"
Dear miss B. Hawkins , I don't know how to reach you either then to respond under a post of you're self. In the year 2005 I had leukemia, and after 3 years of intensive chemo i'am still here. But there was a song of you that held a special feeling to me. It was you're hit song 'right beside you'... and I just heard it again on the radio... For some reason this was my song in 2005 when i was battling leukemia. I always played a CD where this song was on and then I would fall in sleep with my discman... It was the line 'right beside you ' that really helpt me keep my head clear. There was this girl in my friends group that kept my spirits up. When i here this song I always think about that period full of chemo and that girl that always pusht my survival mode. They say some songs chance people's lives, but I can say this song did this for me. I just wanted to tell you this , and let you now that you're music really made a difference. At least to me. Thank you 💪🏻. Best wishes Henk from Holland / The Netherlands
Holy cow.. People..calm down lol..
Dear Sophie. Artistic creations for the masses provide financial freedom for one's own art.
Hi Sophie! Happy Pride Month!! It is nice to see your art!!!
We love the prints we bought years ago and the greeting cards
Glad I was just reminded of that AWESOME song.
My favorite of all time ❤️
Sophie YOU'RE the PERFECT STORM 🌊🌀 And I am in anticipation of seeing your show October 9th in Ann Arbor , MI ....Praying that COVID19 doesn't ruin it 🎤🎹🎼

Hi Sophie , I have had a lot of things get in my way, through out my life, but I am so much stronger and have learned so much by having them. I am a very adaptable person and see solutions. It is always so nice to listen to your thoughts!
Sophie 🌊🌀 I hope we get our Ann Arbor show....If not we will definitely see more of the live from your home to mine....
Dear Sophie. "Realize deeply that the present moment is all you ever have." Eckhart Tolle
I just LOVE all of the new content videos ! So much activity - Enjoying them bunches ! Such Fun !! Thank you
So I am watching "Cloudburst" with Olympia Dukakis on Amazon Prine and to my gleeful surprise all of a sudden "Georgia" starts playing in the movie!!!
Hi Sophie. I've been trying to get ahold of you (sent you a few emails) about another home concert if you're interested.
Dear Sophie. Please read the "As I Lay Me Down" story that you read at your streamed concert as part of this series. Thank you!
I so much like you and your songs. We have same birthday!! Wish you well.
Love your work, keep it up!
Nice !
Hey Sophie, hi again!
Sophie, hello! You are always very lovely to see and listen to! The concert was the best!

Dear Sophie. You performed beautifully!
I'm looking forward to the next one!

On the evening of April 4, 1968 Senator Robert F. Kennedy, while campaigning for the Democratic nomination for president, was scheduled to give a prepared speech to a crowd of Black Americans in Indianapolis Indiana. Minutes before taking the podium in a park, Senator Kennedy was told that the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. had been assassinated in Memphis Tennessee. The crowd did not know this. Senator Kennedy set aside his prepared speech and gave this extemporaneous speech: "I have bad news for you, for all of our fellow citizens, and people who love peace all over the world, and that is that Martin Luther King was shot and killed tonight. Martin Luther King dedicated his life to love and to justice for his fellow human beings, and he died because of that effort. In this difficult day, in this difficult time for the United States, it is perhaps well to ask what kind of a nation we are and what direction we want to move in. For those of you who are black--considering the evidence there evidently is that there were white people who were responsible--you can be filled with bitterness, with hatred, and a desire for revenge. We can move in that direction as a country, in great polarization--black people amongst black, white people amongst white, filled with hatred toward one another. Or we can make an effort, as Martin Luther King did, to understand and to comprehend, and to replace that violence, that stain of bloodshed that has spread across our land, with an effort to understand with compassion and love. For those of you who are black and are tempted to be filled with hatred and distrust at the injustice of such an act, against all white people, I can only say that I feel in my own heart the same kind of feeling. I had a member of my family killed, but he was killed by a white man. But we have to make an effort in the United States, we have to make an effort to understand, to go beyond these rather difficult times. My favourite poet was Aeschylus. He wrote: "In our sleep, pain which cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart until, in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom through the awful grace of God." What we need in the United States is not division; what we need in the United States is not hatred; what we need in the United States is not violence or lawlessness; but love and wisdom, and compassion toward one another, and a feeling of justice toward those who still suffer within our country, whether they be white or they be black. So I shall ask you tonight to return home, to say a prayer for the family of Martin Luther King, that's true, but more importantly to say a prayer for our own country, which all of us love--a prayer for understanding and that compassion of which I spoke. We can do well in this country. We will have difficult times; we've had difficult times in the past; we will have difficult times in the future. It is not the end of violence; it is not the end of lawlessness; it is not the end of disorder. But the vast majority of white people and the vast majority of black people in this country want to live together, want to improve the quality of our life, and want justice for all human beings who abide in our land. Let us dedicate ourselves to what the Greeks wrote so many years ago: to tame the savageness of man and make gentle the life of this world. Let us dedicate ourselves to that, and say a prayer for our country and for our people." That evening every city in the United States burned with rioting and hatred -- except Indianapolis Indiana. People left the park where Senator Kennedy spoke. They went home, wept, grieved, and prayed.
I am a proud fan and I have subscribed 🌊🌀Thanks so much

I'm so thankful you performed it one time on one of the Australian concerts ❤️
I love you ❤️❤️❤️
Laura and I will see ya tomorrow nite.
Hi Sophie, it is very nice to have a taste of what is coming this Friday!
Your music is always pure gold.
I had this song on repeat one night. I think I was feeling really lonely and lustful. I love these intense artful lyrics: "I want his hands, I want his chest, I want his feet, I want his sex!...You've broken down the door and there is no place to hide." Genius.
Your voice has always been so sultry, imagine it always will.
Loving your work Sophie B! ❤️ xx
I will be there and I just know that you will be magnificent Sophie Thee PERFECT STORM🌊🌀

Love your songs Sophie

Dear Sophie. Miracles do happen! I've been searching for your cd's/vinyl for the last few years unsuccessfully. I've searched used record stores in the greater Toronto area, Buffalo, Chicago, and Pittsburgh to no avail. I won't buy on line as the quality is less than advertised. I visited a small out of the way used record store in Guelph Ontario. I had some time on my hands so I thought, "Why not stop in and ask." Not only did the owner have an index divider with "Sophie B. Hawkins" written on it, but he had original cd's of "Whaler" and "Tongues and Tails!" I was shocked and elated at the same time! Of course I bought them. I can't wait for your concert!
Christine
Hey Sophie! This is a day of giving thanks and appreciation to all and everything that has sacrificed for us, but we should think everyday about the sacrifices made. I love your singing, always! I also like your flag.
Right beside you is absolutely my favorite song you have ever done Sophie! ❤
Sophie you're so right...we have to help each other...🌊🌀
Thanks Sophie. <3
Freedom is Power!
You have a such a pretty voice
That flag needs to come down
❤️
🤗
Oh yes the weather is getting very warm , here in Massachusetts I hear it may hit 90 this week ! Looking forward to your concert Friday 😊 !

Can’t wait it’ll be wonderful and make us all so damn happy xxxx
See you FRIDAY!
Hi, Sophie, I am finally here. I always said I would be, sometimes I'm just slow. It is very nice to listen to your thoughts. We should always be so grateful, respectful, and thankful, for anyone or anything that sacrifices for us! Always , Hejhal
So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past. (From "The Great Gatsby," by F. Scott Fitzgerald.

Dear Sophie. And memory is the future too!
Dear Sophie. I am so happy for You for having to release more tickets due to the demand for your concert! No one Sophie, but no one, works harder than You and deserves more success than You. My friends and I are throwing a "Sophie B. Hawkins" party from our respective living rooms, connected by social media and enjoying your concert "together." You are a "Person of the LIght!" Thank you!
Team Sophie here... since we posted this yesterday, the initial offering of tickets sold out! Thank you all so much for your support of Sophie! We worked with the producers to release more tickets and they have. There are approximately 30 virtual ‘seats’ left at the time we’re posting this comment.
Sophie, hi! I am very excited for the show! I can hear kids having fun, that is great!

Dear Sophie. Just bought my fourth ticket, for a Canadian Expat living in North Carolina. You're going to have many Canadian friends on May 29! Can You begin your concert by leading us in singing "O Canada," the Canadian National Anthem?🇨🇦
Dear Sophie. Are you ready to float "You Are My Balloon?" I bought tickets for friends also. I found the experience with Stageit frustrating. Stageit's customer service is non existent as they haven't responded to a question I submitted last Friday.
Tickets bought!
Hey, Sophie! Looking forward to see you! I am from Brazil and never had the chance to see you perform! Looking forward! ❤
I have mine! I cannot wait for this💜
Dear Sophie. I gifted a ticket to Kara and her family. They are thrilled! Please sing "You Are My Balloon."
Howdy Sophie, I just bought my ticket, I am very pleased! It is later , and my son just got off work, and I'm going to make him something to eat. Talk to you later, hejhal
Site is strange...won’t let me buy a ticket. Says I have to catch a ride or get riders

This will be a masterpiece inspired by a Global Invisible Enemy: COVID19.... By theee🌊🌀 Sophie
Dear Sophie. Listening to your Parts 1 and 2 of “Rough Draft” is a journey through your creative mind, heart, and soul. It’s a trip of discovery taking me through dark passageways of misunderstanding and into the light of understanding. What a thrilling odyssey!
Sophie's voice, and the water, a beautiful pair, for sight and sound!
I am in anticipation to hear this song....🌊🌀
beautiful singer, writer, poet. “a memory I can’t remember”
One's character is how we navigate through the storm

Dear Sophie. It's in times like these that I'm reminded of a quote from the late Country Western singer/songwriter Don Williams. Don said, "I don't pray for a lighter load, I pray for a stronger back."

How beautiful.

Hi Sophie! It is always nice to see you! It is nice to listen to your voice, whether singing or talking. Both are Great and Lovely!
Hello from south ga. I'm so happy to see you. Thank you for your music. ♥️ Always listening to something of yours. 🌻
Whaler was one of the first albums I got when I started my collection back in third grade, which would have been the 95-96 school year. I started out with some good music, too. Alanis Morrissette, Seal, Celine Dion and others. Many artists and albums have come and gone over the years, and I like to revisit them sometimes. Whaler is one I never have no revisit, because I never stopped listening to it. It's still one of my favorites, and "Only Love" has always been my favorite song.
Most of my originals are done with accoustic guitar, yet I feel my voice is richer with a piano. I've only done one original with piano, and it adds such a level of darkness and depth that I really enjoyed!
Lovely to hear you and all of your songs -my teenager memories are comming up through listening you 🙏🌳💚🦋 love
Your music is suddenly vibing me and here you are. Thank you. My heart is full. <3
What a beautiful healing song to wake up to! Just keep the savage desire when you get to the lyrics "I want his hands, I want his chest, I want his feet, I want his sex." All I can say is that I love this song.
Sophie you have so many songs that I can relate to....That's why I call you THEEE PERFECT STORM 🌊🌀❤
Love your music and your personality... 🙂
The Ballad of Sleeping Beauty. This song has always given me chills.
That short skit was beautiful 🙂 AnD I love your pj bottoms 🙂
Wonderful! Love from Manila! <3
NOT a guitarist??!! Could have fooled me...
One of my all time favorites. 😘
Sophie, you speak to my soul.
Jason Smith I love this.. I hope you love Sophie as much as I do!!! 💕
😍 Love you
What happened to the drums? Prettiest drummer in America.....plus I play drums too.
Oh, I love that song still. Actually I listened the first album today. Thank you always.
Dear Sophie. Yesterday afternoon Aaron and I backed our trucks up within 10 feet of each other, maintained social distance for passersby to see and had a “tailgate party.” I brought ham and cheese sandwiches, an ice coffee for Aaron and a Coke for me from Tim Hortons. We sat on our tailgates telling stories, laughing, and listening to “Timbre." Sophie your posts are inspiring. Please keep Yourself, Dashiell and Esther safe.
