I bought the CD on a whim at Tower Records, NYC. It is one of the greatest albums I've ever owned. Desert Island Disc... top ten. God bless you, Ms. Griffin. Thank you for carrying us with your voice.
Same here, on a whim, had never heard of her before, was totally blown away! Turned some family and friends on to her too and they had the same experience 💕
I lost my best friend 10 years ago, slow suicide with substance abuse. This song brings him back to me every time. And if the pain ends when you die. I miss him daily
To a sincere friend thru my early to young adult years. He demonstrated the courage to speak truth to power. He pleaded just for a chance. He is missed by many. Vaya con Dios RRR.
My brother, Billy, took his own life when his pain and fear turned to anguish. A desperate grab for peace by a tormented man who saw the world as only an artist can. The shadows and details finally consumed him. I wonder, still. if there was a better way to say goodbye...
There might have been, but your brother's choice had nothing to do with you. I'm sorry you never had a proper goodbye. He lives on in you and everyone who knew him.
Pain is an open wound for which there seems to be no cure... I can hardly breathe without you at times... and I wonder if the pain really does end when you die? because when you're gone you can never come back.
I hope you’re resting easy now Zach. Thank you for all your love. I wish I’d done better when I had the chance. You’re always in my heart and mind. Love you forever 💜
I first came upon you in 2001 when I was 13 years old. Patty your music was a light at the end of the tunnel during some tricky times. Preferably a bunch of BS with school.
To my friend Gaytanna who left this earth 2 years ago. I miss her so much. I am lost with out her.. Today my heart is big and sore and my heart is broken. I loved her so much.
Karen McPherson Each that we lose takes part of us; A crescent still abides, Which like the moon, some turbid night, Is summoned by the tides. Emily Dickinson
I think this is a break up song but it reminds me of my daughter Ali. She died in a car accident in 1999. “Today my heart is big and sore, it’s tryin’ to push right through my skin”
@@phillyjulie you would like to see my handwritten original scratch sheets for those lyrics wouldn’t you…you never will but neither will you ever see these artist’s because all they ever had were copies of mine.

May 5, 2007 my sister took her life.. "I remember where I was, was a day much like today, the sky was big and wide and blue".
I bought the CD on a whim at Tower Records, NYC. It is one of the greatest albums I've ever owned. Desert Island Disc... top ten. God bless you, Ms. Griffin. Thank you for carrying us with your voice.
You are always welcome
❤️
Same here, on a whim, had never heard of her before, was totally blown away! Turned some family and friends on to her too and they had the same experience 💕
@@pattygriffin3232 my words work also, do they not , Patti ..?
Listening to this thinking about my friend I lost to cancer a year ago today. We miss you, Debra. ❤️
I know patty never intended it. Still I cry every time I here this song.
❤️
…hear..?
Some better way to say ‘goodbye’…?…probably not..
I lost my best friend 10 years ago, slow suicide with substance abuse. This song brings him back to me every time. And if the pain ends when you die. I miss him daily
To a sincere friend thru my early to young adult years. He demonstrated the courage to speak truth to power. He pleaded just for a chance.
He is missed by many. Vaya con Dios RRR.
I think of my momma when I hear this song. I really miss her
Sharon Rose Osietski April 19th , 1959 - March 6th, 1999 "the world was never meant for one as beautiful as you ❤️
My brother, Billy, took his own life when his pain and fear turned to anguish. A desperate grab for peace by a tormented man who saw the world as only an artist can. The shadows and details finally consumed him. I wonder, still. if there was a better way to say goodbye...
So sorry Robin. I think of my dad when I hear this. I believe you'll see your brother again. And without the torment
There might have been, but your brother's choice had nothing to do with you. I'm sorry you never had a proper goodbye. He lives on in you and everyone who knew him.
So sorry for the pain.. and loss He's at peace Bless u..
Not what I have in mind with this storyline
Flaming Red is where I discovered Patty, was the first CD I of her’s that I owned. Still moving, impressive.
Been awhile, Dad. Miss you.
Excellent, PATTY. You always get to me; especially in the cycles of grief ... in our lives. GratefuL for your brilliance! MerCi .
Thank you for this great song
Love you Patty Griffin!!!!!!!!!
❤️❤️
@@pattygriffin3232 you are appreciated, yes, do you appreciate my story , Patti ?
I so love this song .
I saw Patty twice, such an awesome voice.
I love the accordion that comes in on the second verse.
Saw you last night in Kent, Ohio and today am listening to my oldie favorites!
Pain is an open wound for which there seems to be no cure...
I can hardly breathe without you at times...
and I wonder if the pain really does end when you die? because when you're gone you can never come back.
I hope you’re resting easy now Zach. Thank you for all your love. I wish I’d done better when I had the chance. You’re always in my heart and mind. Love you forever 💜
❤️❤️
I first came upon you in 2001 when I was 13 years old. Patty your music was a light at the end of the tunnel during some tricky times. Preferably a bunch of BS with school.
RIP Harris Wittels and the rest of our loved ones
Thank you for this song.
Can relate to this tune.
Gotta stay strong
Rings true
To my friend Gaytanna who left this earth 2 years ago. I miss her so much. I am lost with out her.. Today my heart is big and sore and my heart is broken. I loved her so much.

Each that we lose takes part of us;
A crescent still abides,
Which like the moon, some turbid night,
Is summoned by the tides.
Emily Dickinson
It is so sad
@@picknfish I’m abundantly happy patti opted for my lyrics in this song and not miss dickensons’…?
Not necessarily about mortal loss
love it
Goodbye matt x
Bravo
I think this is a break up song but it reminds me of my daughter Ali. She died in a car accident in 1999. “Today my heart is big and sore, it’s tryin’ to push right through my skin”
I think the song is about someone lost to suicide.
David Chen Your interpretation is as good as mine
Love you Bruce 💜
so sorry for your loss 💗
@@davidchen4330 Yes I think you're probably right but ultimately it's a song about grief and loss. The specifics are irrelevant!
In my storyline is not the absolute necessity for the precedent of tragedy…or even physical loss
To Jabriel, who passed today…this is for you
Does the pain end when you die
The uncertainty keeps some people living I think
My address as I wrote this was toward the commonplaceness of losing people in our lives and how internal the process of accepting loss is
Why do you troll Patty's song discussions?
@@phillyjulieseems like what you’re doing..? I wrote it, where do you fit in..?
..and where is your discussion ..?
@@ronaldjaybelin520 this guy acts like HE wrote the songs, puts weird comments on many Patty G videos, it's creepy and phuqued up
@@phillyjulie you would like to see my handwritten original scratch sheets for those lyrics wouldn’t you…you never will but neither will you ever see these artist’s because all they ever had were copies of mine.

Is it famous when we die ?

Hope For Kindness
As the New Year
approaches singing
coming near
what blessings
is she bringing
I wonder as I cry
will she be kind
will she share the sky
what will she find
what will she spy
when she examines
my exhausted mind
old worn out paradigms
wrong turns
and missed signs
wasted tears
realized fears
my soul wears thin
and stretches out again
for the hand of compassion
and divine grace
for to look upon
your angel face
all this sin and disgrace
will she erase
oh so much worry
please tell her I said
I'm sorry
for walking among the dead
restore my dignity
oh angel can't You see
how much You mean to me
and how far I'm come
only to do it all over
as just another Irish rover
with deja vu
counting holy ghosts
was that One You
our heavenly hosts
have moved on forever
did they leave us here
alone
deaf to the sound
of gnashing teeth
from demons beneath
the rank of humanity
well I must pray
Dear Angel Violet
what do You say
are You all set
have You made Your quota
or is there room for one more
I know God holds You accountable
and 'knows the exact score
and angels can't ignore accounts payable
well I'm spirit poor
does that get me in
have You made up
Your mind
oh angel are You sure
out with the old
in with the new
didn't You say
something about
A Whole New You
will it apply to me
what do You see
a heart strong enough
to walk together free
don't leave me blind
what say You
Goddess of my dreams
did I do my best
am I a seer
Or am I blind
would You ask
a 'seeing' man
or a sane man to
lose his mind
forever praying to You
what say You Shawn
'knowing' what 'You' 'know'
now
would You ask
did You ask
I if I would mind
sharing my soul
as well
I don't and I do
I can't 'know' the 'unknown'
All I 'know'
is that I love You
please be kind
end
My dear beloved eternal blessed mother sister soldier muse friend. Hello or goodbye? Ground or sky? Either way 'We' 'think' ' therefore 'We' 'Are'

Posted on 'When You Know' just now. When can I come in from the cold darling?
New Year 2024
A Prayer For Peace Love And Reconciliation
Dear Shawn Colvin
I know that I know
that I love You
and I 'know' that You 'know'
so how can I give up
when You said Yourself
I can't go back
to black
with all this blessed light
showing the way
imploring 'Us' to fight
for love every day
well I fight for 'Us'
'We' both fight
for what's true
I write poems for You
I pour out my heart
I cry and I sing
I tell You every part
I give You everything
only You and only Me
climbing in the right direction
toward grace and eternity
objects of each others' affection
what blessings will this new year bring
hope for peace hope for love
angels begging 'Us' together to sing
to carry hope from above
and a balm for weary souls
bound together as one
burning in a passion rapt
fused forever like the sun
one flaming heart
bound for eternity
let's walk let's start
this cosmic journey
today in twenty twenty four
let's make a stand
let's stand for love and reconciliation
let's obey hope's command
love one another
sing for peace
sing for grace
occupy a holy place
here in 'Our' soul
where I've loved You forever
as 'We' near 'Our' goal
home to heaven together
let's sing for hope
let's sing for freedom
to the stars let's elope
let's use this wisdom
to enlighten 'Our' mind
as 'We' walk heaven's beaches
amazed at what 'We' find
grateful for all love teaches
won't You smile upon me today
my darling soul
won't You listen as I pray
that 'We' will be made whole
yin and yang
yang and yin
one soul reunited
this year let's begin
to heal old wounds
forgive and forget
learn from 'Our' mistakes
rejoice in 'Our' lucky breaks
what will this new year bring
a smile to Your Goddess face
a song to Your lovely lips
to which my aching heart skips
a beat in Your inspired melody
gets lost in Your tranquility
catches up on the refrain
and releases all the pain
of waiting
end
