This song is one of my dad’s favorites of all time. We used to listen to it as we drove down to Arkansas as a family in the summers when I was young… he’d put it on when we drove across the border to Tennessee through Memphis and his 3 girls, me and my two sisters, would sing this at the top of our lungs!!! And Daddy used to just laugh and laughed and loved it all! With my mommy sitting in the seat next to him up front singing along as well. My daddy passed away three weeks ago to the day today after battling cancer. This song gives me chills and brings a few tears to my eyes, as it makes me feel like my dad is sitting right beside as I listen to this and sing along. Love you, Daddy, always. 💙💙💙💙💙✝️

You can take someone else's music and use it for your own creation. BUT I pulled the music to this composition and found that after all the years of music that I have under the belt that THIS song made me reconstruct how I count from one to four. lol This is hands DOWN quality music. For any musicians reading this, this song does not start saying "one" as the first beat. The first beat is on "2" as the first beat. Yes Marc Cohn flipped the normal count of 1,2,3,4, to and 1, and 2, and 3, and 4. Great Composition.

four years ago, I was walking through Memphis. The song really captures the emotion I had. There is a very spiritual vibe there. I felt I was on a pilgrimage trip to the south. Elvis was my first idol. Totally relate to the song

One of my oldest friends passed the day after my last sibling’s memorial. Her daughter attached this, her favorite song. I played it through the whole house, thanks to my niece’s husband pulling out his JBL play box. I am grateful for this song, and for the young man who knew it was important for me to hear!

I was 17 in 1991 and I immediately felt a deep connection to this song.I'm 47 now and the connection is still there.

Cohn has said that "Walking in Memphis" is "100 percent autobiographical". He has described it as a song about "a Jewish gospel-music-lover", and added that "the song is about more than just a place; it's about a kind of spiritual awakening, one of those trips where you're different when you leave. He was inspired to write "Walking in Memphis" by a 1985 visit to the Memphis, Tennessee area. At the time, he was working as a session singer in New York City while pursuing a recording contract. In 2014, he recalled: One night while listening to all of my demos, I came to the realization that I shouldn't be signed, because I didn't have any great songs yet... I was 28 years old and not in love with my songs. James Taylor had written 'Fire and Rain' when he was 18, and Jackson Browne wrote 'These Days' when he was only 17. I thought: 'I'm already ten years older than these geniuses. It's never going to happen for me.' So it was a pretty desperate time, and I went to Memphis with that struggle at the forefront of my mind. Cohn made his first excursion to Memphis after reading an interview with James Taylor in which Taylor stated he overcame writer's block by going to a place he had never been. Emulating Taylor, Cohn chose Memphis as his destination. Cohn states that a friend told him that "there were two things in particular that I had to do [in Memphis], things that would forever change me. They later became the centerpieces of 'Walking in Memphis'." Cohn added: The first thing was go to the Full Gospel Tabernacle Church on a Sunday morning to hear the Reverend Al Green preach ... I [soon] had chills running up and down my spine. The service was so deeply moving that I found myself with sweat running down my face and tears in my eyes, totally enveloped by everything I was seeing and hearing. There was something incredibly powerful about Al Green's voice in that context. Even after three hours of continuous singing, his voice only got stronger and his band only got better. I sat there crying in the church, aware of the irony of how I used to cry in Synagogue in Cleveland as a kid - but because I wanted to get the heck out of there! Al Green's service was one of the great experiences of my life." The second piece of advice was that Cohn visit the Hollywood Café in Robinsonville, Mississippi (35 miles south of Memphis) to see Muriel Davis Wilkins, a retired schoolteacher who performed at the cafe on Friday nights. Cohn remembered: When I arrived, Muriel, who ... was in her 60s, was onstage playing a beat-up old upright piano and singing gospel standards ... I felt an immediate connection to her voice, her spirit, her face, and her smile. I was totally transfixed by her music. While many of the patrons were busy eating and not paying close attention to Muriel, I couldn't take my eyes off her. During her breaks, the two of us would talk. Muriel asked me why I was there, and I told her I was a songwriter trying to find inspiration. I also told her a little bit about my childhood - how when I was two and a half years old, my mom had passed away very unexpectedly, and about ten years later, my dad had passed away and I'd been raised by a stepmother. My mother's death was a central event in my life, and I'd been writing a lot about it over the years, both in songs and in journals. I think a part of me felt stuck in time, like I'd never quite been able to work through that loss... By midnight, the Hollywood was still packed, and Muriel asked me to join her onstage. We soon realized that there wasn't a song in the universe that both of us knew in common. A quick thinker, Muriel started feeding me lyrics to gospel songs so that I could catch up in time to sing somewhat in rhythm with her and make up my own version of the melody. Some songs I was vaguely familiar with, and some I didn't know at all. The very last song we sang together that night was 'Amazing Grace'. After we finished and people were applauding, Muriel leaned over and whispered in my ear: 'Child, you can let go now.' It was an incredibly maternal thing for her to say to me. Just like sitting in Reverend Al Green's church, I was again transformed. It was almost as if my mother was whispering in my ear. From the time I left Memphis and went back home to New York City, I knew I had a song in me about my experience there."

During our big family road trip down the East Coast in 2006--PA to Florida--JUST as we crossed the state line into Georgia in the middle of a downpour, Trisha Yearwood's "Georgia Rain" started to play. *Randomly.* My iTunes playlist had been on shuffle. I'll never forget staring around me at the red-tinged puddles and runoff streams as that song played. It was like we were in a bubble and time froze for 4 minutes and 13 seconds. Total silence in the car--everyone had chills. Tears. It was uncanny, poetic, transformative; and I KNOW that if I am ever lucky enough to actually be walking in Memphis, and THIS song came on during shuffle? It would feel the same way--and I could walk forever and never tire.

Hey Cohn.... I walked in Memphis. Yes I did. His spirit lives.

Went to Graceland singing this song

“She said, tell me are you a Christian child?and I said...MAM I AM TONIGHT!!” Chills every time I hear that line. Was 13yo when this song came out. I’m not Christian, but I love the message that we can all break from our norm and respect other religions and cultures and music is the glue to put all that beauty together 🖤

@@DarhaLB Nonsense -- sadly you're missing the entire story of the song if you think that. Muriel was a gospel singer and he (Marc) sang Amazing Grace with her. If you've never heard live gospel music, then you won't be aware of the intense vibe -- even a Jew in the room would 'be a Christian' for the night. Muriel Wilkins and Marc Cohn actually became friends after performing together and she later attended his wedding. Please think for yourself, do your own research, and stop repeating whatever moronically shallow ideas you hear in the youtube comment section. My god, you literally thought it was a sex lyric.

Describes the whole South. Nicest people. When I was growing up I would listen to my grandpa tell me about how different people are in the North and South and it couldn’t be more true. They would give anything they had if they even thought you needed it. I lived up North for 3 years and they are they are the rudest people. Maybe it was just the cold weather, IDK. Not overly smart either, common sense. They would make fun of my funny Arkansas accent. You talk funny! Well y’all’s a bunch of drunk Yankees that don’t know how to screw a light bulb in!

I went to Memphis for the first time a few weeks ago and I was walking to Beale Street and this song popped in my head lol. I vaguely remember the lyrics, but when I listen to the song after years of not hearing it I understood the lyrics more. I didn’t know anything about Beale Street until we were there or Union Avenue. Our hotel was actually on Union Avenue. So now when I listen to the song it makes me feel like I’m there. I really like Memphis. The people were nice, lots of history, love BEALE ST . I wish I had time to check out more. Maybe one day I will return.

In the middle of the pandemic, we had to make a quick trip from Texas to Kentucky to clear out my son's dorm room. Kentucky had finally opened up to out of state travel. We made the trip in three days. But at one point, we were driving back through Memphis and this song came on the radio. Honestly one of the most surreal moments I have ever had and one I promise you I will never forget. I was driving and crying, it was just such a beautiful song. Has always been one of my favorite songs.

This was my grandmothers favorite song. It’s taken a long time for me to be able to listen to it without just breaking down into tears, as the memories of sitting on her couch listening to her stories of growing up in Memphis while this song and others played in the background came flooding back. She will have been gone for a little over 10 years this coming October, and I still miss her and those stories as dearly as the day she left. But now, every time I listen to this song, I can’t help but smile and feel like she’s right there next to me listening too. I miss you Grandma and I’ll see you again someday :)
