Patty is one of those artists whose songs said things I knew, felt, and experienced…things I didn’t always recognize in myself until she sang the words. Most songs on her albums from Living With Ghosts to Children Running Through mirrored parts of me or my life so closely. Loneliness gets a little easier when music resonates so deeply.
Such an amazing & bold jettison into the human abyss of youth ! The Gibson guitar slams the chords while Griffin's lonely voice spin their webs and stories. Wonderful !
My desire for a family is useless and I throw away and my desire to experience romantic love is useless and I throw that dream away. My mommy said that I am a disabled woman and no one is ever going to understand what happened to me about my Owie from the 1970s and I love her and I love you and I believe my mommy. I realized that my disabilities are not my fault and no one cares about me and no one cares because of the false accusations about me and I only became aware of the false accusations about me in 2022. That's why I felt ok because my child was in foster care and I knew how much lives I saved and appreciated the good works I was able to do with God and that was my best understanding. I missed my family and my son and my sister every day ❤️. I grew up with my disabilities and my lead poisoning and I'm a disabled woman and a idiot savant woman and I never knew anything else about life. Only Christmas music and dolls and my favorite movie was sounds if music and the Muppets and wizard of Oz. Im sorry for being in love with you and thinking you love me too I had no idea. Much love, Mari.
Patty, as many fellow vocalists & songwriters know, one of the truly great songwriters. This song with Patty's emotional delivery and special voice really reaches me deeply. From once playing her first album over and over, I recon I love Patty Griffin.
She is a true artist in every sense of the word. She helps me to keep going in my life, even though sometimes I don't want to. I think she is is the most underrated musician I have ever listened to. Thank you for your many gifts Patty!
