I never loved a singer as much as Nanci, have about 13 of her CD's, and was happy to meet her and shake her left hand when she went to the LEAF festival in Black Mountain, NC to sing with a cast on her right arm!
When Nanci received "From A Distance" from Julie Gold, she immediately fell in love with the song. And surely this is one of the reasons to understand why Nanci interprets this song so masterfully : because she immediately fell in love entering the soul of the song. And see this woman on stage, the musician Nanci with her clean and honest face, who strips herself of all the frills, and with the vocal means at her disposal - and in any case Nanci uses her beautiful voice very well - in a simple way but with all her humanity, that manages so extraordinarily to interpret this song, well, it is extremely moving and it warms my heart. And I feel a deep admiration and respect for Nanci, and also i feel to her so much affection, and I want to thank her from the bottom of my heart.❤️ And of course a heartfelt thanks to Julie for writing and composing a masterpiece like this wonderful song.❤️ Love ❤️❤️
@@bondseanbond5190 Doing a search, one of the women could be Maura Kennedy who joined her band in 1993 as a harmony singer. Later formed The Kennedys duo with her husband
Remembering hearing this song for the first time at Sebago Lake in Maine at the end of a UNH Res Life staff development trip in 1988. Great memories of a special time. Thank you Nanci. RIP
The emotions and the thrills that Nanci makes run when he sings and in particular in this interpretation, have no equal. I love you very much, Nanci, thank you.
What a wonderful woman,human being a a great champion of those on the margins of society may the living Christ give you your just reward as you make that awesome journey we all will one day make God bless you Nanci the World is a little poorer with your passing Vincent and family Dublin Ireland a country we know you loved so well.
😢 I was touched by Bette midlers version when I was 6… and although initially I didn’t like nancis recorded version much, hearing this live version has me in my heart place
From a distance Julie Gold The world looks blue and green And the snow capped mountains white From a distance The ocean meets the stream And the eagle takes to flight From a distance There is harmony And it echoes through the land It's the voice of hope It's the voice of peace It's the voice of every man From a distance We all have enough And no one is in need And there are no guns, No bombs, and no disease No hungry mouths to feed From a distance We are instruments Marching in a common band Playing songs of hope Playing songs of peace They are the songs of every man God is watching us God is watching us God is watching us From a distance From a distance You look like my friend Even though we are at war From a distance I just cannot comprehend What all this fighting's for From a distance There is harmony And it echoes through the land And it's the hope of hopes It's the love of loves It's the heart of every man It's the hope of hopes It's the love of loves This is the song for every man God is watching us God is watching us God is watching us From a distance Oh, God is watching us God is watching God is watching us From a distance

@@orogenicman Songwriter is Julie Gold, and here is a great version of her singing the song: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xZv-AkG68TE.html
I very much doubt this was in Norway, since she is singing certain lyrics in GERMAN. ;-) ... maybe at the Waldbühne outdoor concert area in a park in Berlin
