What a gift she was, what a gift she had, writing and singing. What a gift this video is capturing her spirit and all we've sadly lost. Thanks for everything Nanci.
True Americana, blending country, folk, tragedy, and humor all in brilliant musical short stories of younger and older love, family and friends, wonder and loss. Bless you, Nanci, for Blessing us with your Music and Humanity. Rest in Peace, Angelic Songbird.
Godspeed 🕊Rest In Power 🕊Rest In Peace🕊 God bless Nanci 🕊 8/13/21 🙏 She's a Songbird and a Angel wearing crooked halo with her colorful salty jokes early on in her career... A true Angel with voice of a songbird. 👼🏻 🙏
When I first heard Nanci in the mid to late 80s the two things stood out for me , apart from Nanci's performance, was Philip Donnelly's unique guitar sound and licks, and Lloyd Green's fine pedal steel , Lloyd was really on fire during those sessions. Very sad to hear of her death at only 68 years of age.
I learnt this song from a greatesr hits album back in 1993..And it comes be as I clean the house,sing that first line like I am in thst moment or driving the car and feel alittle off...its a perfecf moodshuffler!
We had a drought here in southern Colorado this past summer. I played this song while I was hauling some water. I really wished it would rain ... and it finally did while I was playing this song. One of my all-time favorite tunes. I hope that she is doing well.
Oh I wish it would rain to wash my face clean I want to find a dark cloud to hide in me love and the memory sparkles like diamonds when the diamonds fall it burns like tears when the diamonds falls it hurts like tears
Brilliant song, but not sure why Nanci needs a band and vocal partner. She can play guitar and has a voice that doesn't need anything else to get in the way.
Reccord co's /producers are well known for wrecking great artists, only a few enhance their careers,: "more is better" and "for a larger audience/i.e.$$$s" are the motives involved...a really good singer/instrumentalist can do their best work solo-ish, but many feel more secure with a band, it's a tough career...
No doubt she’s in a class by herself as a solo performer. But throughout her career she arranged her music for the “orchestra.” It’s as much a feature of her music as anything else. The brief Denny Bixby era was sublime. That man could harmonize.

She had so many great songs, but this & Boots are two of my favorites. What a sweetheart & so gifted! R.I.P. Dear Nanci! You are loved!
Boots? Are you referring to the Bob Dylan song Boots of Spanish Leather? "And yes, there is something you can send back to me..."
Nancy Griffith... the only smile that could melt the sun.
Melted my heart.

Well written song that puts you in a definitive place geographically.
Loved that wonderful Texan drawl in many of her beautiful songs. RIP Nanci

I saw Nanci perform many times and early on in her career as well. she came a fully formed musician. An old soul. she will truly be missed.
No one is better than Nanci. Love

@olimpixable Ditto... I remember hearing this song when I was 30... now I'm 53.... great song!!
And now you're 63, still sound pretty good?
Neal Baker not quite 63, I’m 62. I love music!! This song is a favorite!! Thanks for reply!! In these times, a little sunshine ☀️ is welcome
I changed the lyrics for singing - I want to find that love at 22 here at 63. No joke. No joke.
@@clearfield2009 I’m 63 now, too! 🙌🏼💯

Mac Macanally is such a fine backup singer for our dear Nanci. He gets her.
Been a fan of this gal since the 80's. Love her music!
Here in 2022. Where has this song been all my life??
I haven't heard this song since I ran from my cheating wife in 98. I remembered most of the words and sang along. See you in Glory Miss Nancy!
Nancy is the best!
Agree with you Nanci is the best but it is better if you write Nanci and not Nancy ...
Thanks Franko, I get it.
Wonderful song.
When she died, I absolutely could not believe it, did not think that was even possible.💔
I love this song.

badolan I had a love from the Georgia pines when I first heard this
I have been listening to this song for a whole week and it did finally rain after almost 2 months !!
Good journey Nanci.
Rest In Peace.
RIP Nanci

hi from New Zealand
love the song but where or what is the Georga pan she sings of
Pretty sure it's Georgia Pines. Not sure where exactly that is; I assume it's the Appalachian northern part of the state.
Who's the guy in blue she's singing with?
Her bassist, Denny Bixby.
@@jacksonurenmusic Thank you.
Who are the three thumbs down??
Lol people who can’t appreciate vocal and musical talent. Too bad
Who cares?
RUclips has done away with showing the thumbs downs.
Brilliant song, but not sure why Nanci needs a band and vocal partner. She can play guitar and has a voice that doesn't need anything else to get in the way.
Perhaps she just likes/needs some company.
