I need to stop watching these Nanci Griffith videos. They're gloriously sweet and resonant, but they leave me despondent at her passing. A hug to all you fellow grieving fans...
I will go to my deathbed saying: Nanci Griffith is and was one of the most under-rated, yet one of most influential, and uniquely great of an artist, in both America and Europe, over the last 4 decades. 4 decades now since her first LP release. 4 decades of soothing, moving, angelic music. Kudos to all of NG's work; over her lifetime, and for making my own life a bit gentler and kinder ~!~
All you have to see is Lyle Lovett, Mark O'Conner, and Emily Lou Harris as her BACK UP chorus and set musician on her first Austin City Limits in 1985. Many others joined in later- LOTS of duets, trios and groups...
Nanci once looked to the sky and asked Kate Wolf to “save me a seat at the bar” . I wish for her spirit ,all the love and joy that she gave so freely while she was with us and her longing heart found bliss😇❤️🌹☮️
I'm still trying to get my head around Nanci Griffith's passing. All I can say is that I was privileged to have seen her so many times in concert and for that I will be forever grateful. Rest Now in Peace sweet Angel. Thanks for your music and stories.
I first saw Nanci in 1985 at the storied Anderson Fair in Houston. Later, I saw Nancy twice at the Barns of Wolf Trap in Washington (Nanci: "You folks in Washington sure know how to behave yourselves. Fights usually break-out in the bars I play in."). Special memories. RIP, Nanci. In heaven you will delight the angels.
Okay. Being an old fart by now, I have listened to many versions of this song. I like this one version best. Mrs Griffith nails it. She has touched my soul. Thanks for sharing.
I love nearly all versions of this poignant song because it is a flat out beautiful composition, and they all remind me of the great and too soon lost Sandy Denny
@@paulhall170 Yes, we have Sandy's voice recordings, but hardly any videos of her performing. Thankfully, we have lots of performances by Nanci that have been recorded.
I really love Nanci's voice of the 90's. I know some prefer her more "innocent and pure" voice of her girlhood, but I love this mature purity and richness as she grew older. Of course there is something to love in every Nanci era.
I dunno where in the hell the time goes. But I am glad to spend time, living and loving this wonderful singer,,,and glad to be in the company of you all, who appreciate this delicacy of tone, cadence, emotion. Be well..
My sister used this song as a background for a family picture slideshow she created for my Mother's 75th birthday. I have not heard a more fitting or beautiful tribute to the passage of time. My heart felt so many emotions listening, that I could not stop crying. I have always loved Nanci Griffith's music, but her delivery of this is beyond talent..it's inspired.
So sad that Nanci has left us. Rest in peace Nanci. I have just found this version of 'Who Knows Where the Time Goes', it's brilliant! It's a very sensitive and heart-warming cover of Sandy Denny's masterpiece; Sandy also left us way before her time. I feel privileged to have heard the musical genius of Nanci and Sandy and enjoyed it all of these years. Such talent doesn't com round too often. Love and peace.
I have always loved the music of Nancy Griffith. Her and I were born in the same year, just a different Continent. "Who know where the time goes." I will miss you Nancy.🥰
When you hear without a comparison, you can achieve a different comprehension of the feelings about why they sing this... Let's just feel... listen, it's amazing! ❤️
I know many people have voiced to me that they are used to Judy Collins' version or even Denny's...and to be sure they are wonderful, but....there is just something about this rendition by Nanci and friends that sends me to another place. The look of those joining her is nothing short of enrapturing. You can see that this experience has touched them all to their very cores. Just lovely.....
I believe this was sung soon after Nanci had come through her battle with cancer - she always sings from the heart but this felt particularly poignant. Support singing and musicians superb. Magic in the air that night
That was seriously good. She was deceptively talented. Nanci was gone before I discovered her music. Since then, it's been a journey of discovery. Listening to her sing this Sandy Denny song underpins just how talented she really was. May she Rest in Peace.
Just loved the Transatlantic Sessions. Brought together wonderful musicians to reflect on music that crossed the Atlantic to define what roots music means.
Nanci has been such a big part of my life through her music She was like a sister that I didn’t get a chance to meet, although I’ve been to so many of her concerts. What a beautiful voice. And to be singing with all of you talented people. Wow what a great treat. Miss you Nanci.
You know, I've begun thinking of her as a slightly "big" sister recently. One I hope will find love and peace, but never seems to. I don't know how long this will last, this inability to avoid tears when she sings. She sings "I have no fear of time."
I consider myself lucky to have walked this planet at the same time Nanci Griffith graced us all with her incomparable talent. I've gone into a second grieving period missing her. Lately seems like magic all of a sudden these rare vids on YT are coming through from the other side. I think she knows now how many millions loved her and like me miss her beautiful heartfelt music. TY for posting this, you made my day from sad to transcendent.
Sandy Denny was the greatest folk-rock singer of her generation and "Who Knows Where The Time Goes" is her masterpiece. No other artist can make me forget Sandy. That said, this is a very fine version that does complete justice to the original. Just take it for what it is and enjoy it.
Completely agree on Sandy Denny’s talents as a singer and songwriter. Her combination of technical mastery and emotional immediacy puts her in rarified company (Joni Mitchell on “Blue”; the cream of Eva Casady, come to mind in the folk genre). Compare Denny’s version of a trad ballad to that of her peers’: her rendition will tell for feeling and import of lyric. So I was surprised to find Griffith’s version of “Time” as the one that most spoke to me. Denny’s version seemed to rush the delivery of the lyrics - almost as if she was tired of the song (I may need to listen again to her earlier versions of the song). In the end,mall I can say is that Griffiths version moved me in a way that Denny’s didn’t.
@ChristopherWelles Seriously you gotta be American? Sandy wrote this when she was 19 years old i doubt it was sung a rush mode but in a traditional British folk song timing, you need to listen to some more of sandy's own songs, purely british.
Nancy was a master songwriter Who took every opportunity to champion kinderedspirits.. Ar dheis Dè go raibh a hanam dìlis I will miss her... Greetings from Dublin Ireland 🇮🇪its raining 🌧 Tears here...
You can't top the late, great Sandy Denny. It is impossible. Like trying to outscore Michael Jordan in his prime. But what Nanci does is to honor other great songs, bring her own thing to it, show some reverence, expose other people to the material. She's an artist, and a fantastic songwriter in her own right.
I've a suspicion she was ill when she did this I noticed she was crying before she sang.She opened a school in Belfast to help children read and helped to get recognition in the US for folk musicians from this side of the pond there's a better version on "Other voices too".
I went in and played Gulfcoast Highway and Five and Dime for a while, and thought of when she first made off with my heart, which now has a stab wound.
Gods, but I wish it were possible to easily access higher quality clips from these early TA Sessions. So many absolutely transcendent collaborations and inspired performances. Ah, well. Grateful to have what we do, I suppose. This, for example, is a little gem.
I didn't even know that Nancy Griffin had passed away until I had a stroke on January 4th. So sorry to hear that she's left us, but what beautiful music she left us with. Rest in peace Nancy

That's beautiful! Thank you for your words.
All you have to see is Lyle Lovett, Mark O'Conner, and Emily Lou Harris as her BACK UP chorus and set musician on her first Austin City Limits in 1985. Many others joined in later- LOTS of duets, trios and groups...
Robert, you hit the nail on the head... what a great artist she was! Rest in peace, sweet Angel Nanci.
One of the most popular singer-songwriter in her season. Thank you ❤️
I've been listening to this woman for the same amount of time ive grown up listening to Nanci it's sad to say good by.
Nanci Griffith singing a Sandy Denny song - the two best poet/singers of our times.
My favorite video of hers - with Maura O'Connell and Karen Matheson! Two more of my faves... ❤
Nanci once looked to the sky and asked Kate Wolf to “save me a seat at the bar” . I wish for her spirit ,all the love and joy that she gave so freely while she was with us and her longing heart found bliss😇❤️🌹☮️
Time has come and gone, rest in peace our precious Nanci...

The time sure comes and goes. All the more poignant tonight after hearing of Nanci's death. An amazing artist...rest in peace Nanci and Thank You ❤
Brought me to tears.... heaven regained an angeliic voice way too soon.
"Ah but then you know, it's time for them to go, but I will still be here". Our many thanks to Ms Griffith and to Ms Denny also !
I'm 71 and got into Nancy's music late in my life. What a beautiful artist, I just love her music.
Aren't we all blessed who get to listen to this beautiful music
Sorry to lose you Nanci, thanks for the music.
I can't believe she's gone ... how terribly sad ....
This song breaks me down everytime...Love you Nanci!
Hearing the news last night hurt. God it hurt. Watching this now I am almost tearing up.
Okay. Being an old fart by now, I have listened to many versions of this song. I like this one version best. Mrs Griffith nails it. She has touched my soul. Thanks for sharing.
Griffith is Nanci’s family name, not a married one. But you are right it is one of the best renditions.
Rest now, surrounded by music Nanci. RIP.
I love nearly all versions of this poignant song because it is a flat out beautiful composition, and they all remind me of the great and too soon lost Sandy Denny
Yes too soon gone to heaven Sandy Denny.
Poor Sandy, how precious a voice, thank God we live in the age of her sublime talent being recorded....

there are certain people God puts on this Earth with Angelic voices and Nanci is one of those people. R.I.P.
it's fascinating to watch her....She has a face that is a window on her beautiful soul....
RIP sweet Nanci. A very sad day. xxx
Seems like yesterday I was a young pup in Austin listening to her for the first time.
I was hooked.
Still am
Flows past like a river, but songs like this hold a moment in time for us. And we can remember.
Nanci's voice and voicing with this are completely suited for this song. Love the piano. La-la's
I have always loved the music of Nancy Griffith. Her and I were born in the same year, just a different Continent.
"Who know where the time goes." I will miss you Nancy.🥰

I believe this was sung soon after Nanci had come through her battle with cancer - she always sings from the heart but this felt particularly poignant. Support singing and musicians superb. Magic in the air that night
Bottom line ,they are all magical!
I'm not too sure about the Sha La La's at the the end, though ...
@@vincentmurphy7847 I agree. I think it somehow spoiled the simple, haunting beauty of this song.
Love Transatlantic Sessions, the best friend a song could have ;)
i could listen to the transatlantic sessions over and over....
Thank goodness for RUclips as Nanci’s music can live on. RIP NG🙏
That was seriously good. She was deceptively talented. Nanci was gone before I discovered her music. Since then, it's been a journey of discovery. Listening to her sing this Sandy Denny song underpins just how talented she really was. May she Rest in Peace.
particularly wonderful version of this classic
She loved her music and entered it fully with total reverence for her gift of music. “ Fly away to Heaven” Nancy!
Just loved the Transatlantic Sessions. Brought together wonderful musicians to reflect on music that crossed the Atlantic to define what roots music means.
Remembering the great Sandy Denny with Fairport Convention .
Excellent musicians Love the Transatlantic sessions
Should be compulsory viewing in schools (Transatlantic sessions) - from a teacher.
This is such a great song- it doesn't matter who sings it!
God bless beautiful Angel..you were pure gold..and your spirit will live onn in our hearts ..Rest in peace..
Certainly an homage to Sandy from a wondrous gathering of great artists and musicians. Love you Nanci!❤
A room full of greats
RIP ,u gave us all ,more peace...sweet Lady
She always makes my tears flow
Perhaps my favorite Sandy Denny track....Nancy Griffith et all do a superb job.
Such a beautiful voice, will miss you Nanci, may you have found peace!
Chokes me up ever time...
what a wonderful "Shalalala"
opens the song for a smile in the end .....
what a wonderful/ beautiful singer, poet and musician called Nanci G.
This is my favorite cover of this so excellent song. I love the instrumentation and background vocals. Well done!
I love her version , and I’ve heard other great ones as well. I bet Sandy would smile on them all!
Another super fine version of this Sandy Denny song. I have always loved Nanci. Add it to your collection of wonderful covers.
Best I've heard in long time,,that's good mood stuff,,,,brought back Judy memories. Nanci G.has voice. Like to pass that song to my sister.
God bless her soul a beautiful singer and song writer a great lady a loss to the world RiP
i try not to count time too... maybe its enough its counting us...the world...the universe...sooo beautiful...greetings from Finland. Kimmo :)
Never saw her live. But her music , her voice helped me in many an angry time.🥰
There are several great versions of this song but I think this captures its beauty and nobility perfectly. I adore it.
The voice of an angel Such a loss for us all.

Heart , Soul driven.
Beautiful voice of Love.
A wonderful moment from my favourite television music programme.
this beautiful rendition has helped me thru some dark times. thanks to sandy who dragged this song out of her head for us all
It always strikes me as almost impossible to believe that Sandy wrote this song when aged 17.
@@rleitros9378 That (presumably) first version, on "Sandy Denny with the Strawbs", remains my favourite ...

Nancy was a master songwriter
Who took every opportunity to champion kinderedspirits..

I will miss her...
Greetings from Dublin Ireland 🇮🇪its raining 🌧
Tears here...
Yes, but I trust you know that the writer of this song was Sandy Denny sometime of Fairport Convention.
Brilliant Transatlantic Session
Beautiful Nanci Griffith
Who does Know
A true American/Texas gold nugget - unique gem. Fly to Heaven Nanci.
Beautiful never tire of this.
Hay Who knows where the time goes!
I LOVE IT!!! Thank you very much for that video; so nice to imagine sitting together and jamm ;-) it`s just great. She sings so well; shivering good
Wow!!! What a performance! What an ensemble!…. 😊

I would have loved to hear a duet of Nancy and Sandy Denny.
This gets to me.. RIP lovely lady. You will be missed.
Astoundingly Brilliant!
Hauntingly beautiful. As good as any other version. It just adds to the beauty of the original version. Nanci is just extraordinary.
Brilliant
love her music now more than ever...very special person.
lovely as this is, there is only one Sandy Denny...
Agreed. Still very much missed.
Though I did have a slight pause wondering who Alexandra Denny was.
A beautiful song and beautiful performance.
Just revisited this after reading Nanci’s obit. Sitting here. Crying.
Beautiful ........ Who does know where the time goes
Nowhere.

I love this music
I went in and played Gulfcoast Highway and Five and Dime for a while, and thought of when she first made off with my heart, which now has a stab wound.
So good....
So beautiful 🌹
Outstanding! So well done. Best version I know. Wonderful artists on this.
So awesome !
just lovely.
Gods, but I wish it were possible to easily access higher quality clips from these early TA Sessions. So many absolutely transcendent collaborations and inspired performances.
Ah, well. Grateful to have what we do, I suppose.
This, for example, is a little gem.
Sweet Nanci. We lost you but not your light and your gifts.
Just glad our paths crossed.
The Transatlantic Sessions were brilliant
I didn't even know that Nancy Griffin had passed away until I had a stroke on January 4th. So sorry to hear that she's left us, but what beautiful music she left us with. Rest in peace Nancy
I'm still missing Nanci.
love her voice
Indeed....who knows where the time goes.
