Also her song "Rain" I find is soothing at this grieving time in my life. I also so love Kim Richey for her thoughtful, soulful lyrics, beautiful voice and guitar playing.
@@moboknows I lost my son in 2008 and the pain never really goes away. The hardest thing in the world to bear for sure. Forever covered in ashes and wilderness, forever cleaning up the place. This song....grief holds us closer to them in some strange way.
I played this in the rain and falling leaves 3 times dancing and crying and tryin sing along for my mama soon after i went back in to the hospital she left through the veil on the 20th Oct ..thankyou Patti ..you have for years moved me healed too with your voice spiritt and words ..bless you in your heavenly place
I worked with Natalie Maines "dixie chicks" on a handful of local LA shows. They covered this song. I have never in life been moved to tears by any song, ever. Until I heard this. I honestly cannot hear this song without choking up. I have no idea why. The imagery is too intense. Wish I'd wrote it.
@@rileymccoy8040 Riley, I wasn't referring to RU-vid algorithms but, rather, the rules people use to evaluate what they find interesting or desirable and what they do not. In my world, everyone should find Patty Griffin's music extremely desirable, listening to it over and over and over again. Instead, the majority of people seem to be drawn to vapid inanity akin to watching "a cat pissing on an onion".
Ah yes Patty now you speak with the one sacred voice...each of us should bow to the mother of humankind and offer our hearts as pillows to her head. The story of every woman, mothers, sisters, wives...to male misadventure...and we will present ourselves before Patty's talent and her humble heart.
@@moonlitme ....yes she was one incarnation for sure...there have been and are so many...look at The Pieta in Rome's Basilica and see Mary personifying all of humankinds history in her being as captured in sculpture.....glorious
Hallmark drew John Hiatt up a contract for him to do threads on their Twitter account. (she is above the aspirations of mere inspiration at times it seems)
Love this song! Patty is a song writer who captures so much of how and why women think and do what it is very much natural to us, of course she would! I played this CD to death! Her words touch my soul❤
The wanting,the needing,the longing and the knowing-all encapsulated in a transcendent 7 minutes of music…. Play it loud across the world and all hatred will evaporate ✌️ The soul burned down will rise stronger from the ashes,pain and suffering is only the first step! Honesty,humility and humanity pulses through the veins of this songstress,and thank goodness she takes the time to share it …X
This song. As I play my guitar and sing alongside you, I feel the haunting imagery in my soul. Thank you Patti for the gifts and healing you bring to the world.
True beauty leaves you longing for the intangible, the eternal what might never be, but for a chance you’d give everything built in sand and sure to fade away.
OMG Patty...where do you find the profoundly mournful words you assemble into the most beautifully wrenching songs...I would break down and cry but my mind is left searching my heart for the meanings and memories of your lyrics. Your soulful voice is so intimate...as if I am sharing your thoughts and feelings to bridge my own to a common garden of humanity...a collective soul we all share.
@@phantomworks2097 This song describes the "Mother of God" concept in the most humanistic lyrics ever...the mother of us all. Men dying in on the field of battle are often calling for their mothers as this life ends. Forgotten are the nine months we all were all tethered to our mothers in the most intimate environment...it's as if our fresh brains were wiped of all the secret, warm memories. It's almost a secret, separate lifetime (an Eden experience hidden from our birth lives). In these lyrics you can visualize the spirit of Christ whispering by his beloved earthly mother as he leaves this worldly plane back to his celestial dimension...briefly kissing her cheek as he "exits" this life. And Mary, the Mother of God, is left to the chore of "cleaning up the place." Now go read the lyrics of Patty Griffin's "Mother of God" where she again associates the earthly feelings of family and religion with a mother, her children, prayer, aging, and images of the "Mother of God." Patty is one of the most soulful singers of my (our) generation. I'm an old man and I believe women are closer to God than are men. And this song captures this forgotten sentiment...forgotten by men until their final moments. Patty has this spiritual vein in her writing which you can sense in so many of her soulful songs.
@@davidparnell1893 wow brother! I feel like I really could learn a lot from you mate. I HATE how men have treated women - since forever really. I just wonder how many great leaders and scientists etc, humanity lost out on cos of men's nefarious attitudes and bullshit 'beliefs.' Books - nay, whole LIBRARIES, could be filled with our shameful past mate, I shit you not brother.
@@phantomworks2097 Go back and read Genesis the Creation Story of the Bible. It's a masterful timeline of God's creation of life. God creates "sequentially" the lower forms of life first and the higher forms of life last. God created Adam...but LAST, he created Eve. Now go read a biology book about the fertilization and development of a zygote into a fetus. All humans were male at early stages of the fetus development...then males stop devoping and beging fleshing out as males...But, females continue developing from this male form...becoming far more complicated beings physiologically (and mentally) So God created Eve "LAST" as a higher lifeform than Adam. This complies with modern science yet the Book of Genesis was written THOUSANDS of years before there was even the concept of "science." (I'm sorry for this digression) But women are far more complicated beings than men. And, Patty Griffin is an example of a woman writing a song and then composing and singing with such a soulful voice as to infiltrate forgotten recesses of the heart of humanity. (Think of it... women have bodies that can oxigenate two humans for nine months.) The indocrine systems of women are far more complicated and the brain has many more connections to drive these physiologic systems. This is why women have these "visions of the future" so often passed off as intuition. Women are more connected to the astral dimensions of human life. Mythology has recognized this "fact" long begore science and again, read the Creation chapters of Genesis in the Bible.
Timeless and could be sung today with perfect relevance to what's going on today in Ukraine. So many mothers losing sons, covered in ashes, slashes, stains and babies...needlessly.
