One of the best songs ever, and surely PG's best rendition of this song I've heard. Her band unfolds a wonderful sound carpet here which carries these magic moments.
Had the one of the worst years of my life this year, been about as bad as it could be. I needed some music like this. I love her voice, and the lyrics.. music to mend the soul
Bobby Price, hoping life has treated you better over the last 6 years. Hoping you are safe and happy and healthy and at peace. Every blessing upon you.
The only voice that can pierce through my very bones and gives me a sort of feeling that glimpses me to the heavens.. That's why she will always be my most favorite singer songwriter of all time..
OMG,what a perfect voice,first time hearing this exquisite song,can’t explain,but tears running down my face,came to her through Robert Plant Touching something inside 👏👏👏
Damn it this song brings tears to my eyes every darn time...whew what a heart stopper, how dare Patti remind me like that of Love felt and Love lost, also it was beautiful to read through the comments just to see the many many people who are so impacted by this song as well ❤
There will never be agreement on "the most beautiful song," but this gets my vote. My first dance with my wife at our wedding - this song sums up love and commitment and knowing they are the most important when times are tough.
No, this isn’t exactly specifying love story..more so the general friendship that should exist in the world…no one ever came for me whom I had previously loved.. there were those, strangers, who go looking for you…?
This is one of Patty's epic songs. From an exquisite concert DVD that is beautifully filmed. Patty is perfect. Her band is great and the selection of songs is excellent.
Believe me, I can relate. My wife came down to the basement one evening and discovered me weeping nearly uncontrollably while watching this video. I couldn't explain to her what the problem was. I didn't even know. Except that it has something to do with Patty's voice ... because there are others of her songs that have the same effect on me. As far as I'm concerned, she and James McMurtry are the two greatest songwriters of my generation -- and that encompasses a huge number of very, very, very great songwriters.
I first encountered this song in a documentary called " A Lion In The House". It follows 5 children in the USA as they battle cancer. They don't all make it ... Amazing documentary that has stayed with me, literally, as I ordered a copy from USA.
I just watched 'A Lion in the House. I have never been moved so much and this song sealed the emotion. A beautiful voice from a singer I had never heard of previously.
Red lights are flashing on the highway I wonder if we're gonna ever get home I wonder if we're gonna ever get home tonight Everywhere the waters getting rough Your best intentions may not be enough I wonder if we're gonna ever get home tonight [Chorus] But if you break down I'll drive out and find you If you forget my love I'll try to remind you Stay by you when it don't come easy ....whoa-oh I don't know nothing except change will come Year after year what we do is undone Time gets moving from a crawl to a run I wonder if we're gonna ever get home You're out there walking down a highway And all of the signs got blown away Sometimes you wonder if you're walking in the wrong direction yeah....hey.... [Chorus] So many things that I had before It don't matter to me now Tonight I cry for the love that I've lost And the love that I've never found When the last bird falls And the last siren sounds Someone will say what's been said before Its only love we were looking for So when you break down.... [Chorus]
This song means a lot to me tonight while I was listening to all of the news and stories from Texas and Louisiana about the Harvey damage and flooding.
Patty Griffen Patty Griffen Patty Griffen Patty Griffen Patty Griffen I read so many of the comments , beautiful, emotional, loving, moving, tears, memories and joy. I tapped like on all of them and put 'Patty Griffen ' over and over for my comment. A singer/ songwriter you'll remember.
And this one, maybe a all time favo? When you struggle, when you fight, the fighting can't be enough sometimes, when it doesnt come easy. Ill try, ill fight but i doesnt come easy. Sometimes I wonder If I am walking in the wrong direction, I will remind you, I stay by you right there, that place, my soul, my lucky soul.
Look up “ A Lion in the House” a documentary about 5 children battling Cancer…. The Film makers from Yellow Springs, Ohio picked this song when running the credits of the film at the end❤ A Beautiful Song that brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it…… By the way, my daughter was one of those 5 kids with cancer… God rest her sole…. I Love You Alexandra
Though not new material, heard this performance for the first time this week. Listening to it constantly. Never heard anything more perfect. Amazing, inspiring. What a beautiful concert venue. Mention is made in other comments about a concert DVD. Where & when was this & how can I find the DVD? Thanks.
+Jeffrey Kingdon Excellent recording. "Patty Griffin: Live from the Artist's Den" Commercially available. Bought my copy at Barnes & Noble. WELL worth it! Enjoy.
thaaaaaaaank you for uploading a great quality video of my favorite PG song .... this version is ethereal .... soul food . . . . thank you thank you thank you ...
I posted this long ago I glad someone’s paying attention to music it’s awesome the best things in life are simple and good morn sunshine jus be enjoy your day
I just bought the Video on ebay. This reminds Me of Emmylou and Daniel Lanois on Wrecking Ball. Great Song, thanks for Posting. I'm looking forward to seeing the rest.
@RemoVegas You're more than welcome. The Patty Love needs to be shared. Now let's hope YT won't delete this as it has been flagged as Third Party content but I'm not uploading the whole DVD so hopefully it will make people want to see the rest of it for themselves. It's a superb show.
Actually if you were to look at the original album cover, the song is titled, When it doesn't come easy...which makes you wonder if Spell correct fucked up the title of the song on the album. Regardless this is one of the best songs ever written about friendship, God or whatever value you place on people, Have never heard a better explanation of love...
Well , I say “believe” because not every listener needs to experience to hear Patti so beautifully render the storyline: lots to see when the road is your home for 30 years …and that’s why I delineated this part : I was just arriving or leaving prior to, or arriving post at least 6 hurricanes
The inspiration for all the signs being blown away was specifically Simpsons seafood market marque on hwy98 through Destin, Fl by the hurricane just prior to Katerina
