I had a stint as a radio presenter for a while, I was sacked because I would not stick to the playlist. Every time I played this song the phone lines became jammed with people ringing in wanting to know more about this song, who was it? Where could they buy it ?etc,etc It touched a lot of people's lives, that's what good songs & good music is all about. Thank you Nanci.
Fair play to you sir I would've done exactly the same thing if only people would stop And listen then they'd hear the real music and they would appreciate it too hate rap music it absolutely garbage who's gonna remember puff daddy? B real etc
@@eamonngaynor5762 I agree with you, Rap music is sheer poison, If I was forced to listen to it, I would end up in a padded cell. Do check out Nanci Griffith singing the Jimmy Webb song 'If These Walls Could Speak', it's a live recording, just superb!
Thank god somebody agrees with me on this I do have a varied taste in music but I've never accepted rap and I never will who wants to listen to somebody waffling on In double Dutch about 'awhile cop busting my ass cos I'm black" it's absolutely degrading when you look at brilliant black artists like Ray Charles otis redding Aretha Franklin Brook bentonite Wilson pickets Sam Cooke these artists are priceless but back to nAnci griffith she was unique and we miss her
Oh well done bub, mayB it'll break thru now for her family and loved 1's Tis too late for Nancy Griffith but don't they Love Ya and applaude and Laud the Dead ! Much b cash in death )):
I met Nanci one night in a bar somewhere. We sat at a small bar table for well over an hour and talked. Nanci was quiet and reserved and just listened. There was never a hint as to her fame. I asked her if she had ever stayed at the Grande Hotel in Point Clear, AL. When she responded "no", I proceeded to describe it to her. My description was rather lengthy covering the venue on beautiful Mobile Bay, the oaks with Spanish moss, etc. It was getting late and Nanci finally graciously excused herself saying she had an early flight the next morning. Several years later, I was watching ACL and I recognized her. She sang Late Night Grande Hotel and on the intro she dedicated it to me and credited me with giving her the title. The video is available, Season 17, Episode 1 Songwriters Special and her intro is at 20.07. Ironically, the first line of the lyrics speaks of working on an early flight to anywhere but here. RIP dear, sweet Nanci. I'll never forget that night.
😮this is my favourite nanci griffith song I was lucky enough to see her in concert in the uk living alone is all I've ever done well pulls at my heart strings so sad she has passed away at least we have her music
@@tessiemay1789 Sure cant blame the garbage that mainstream media was feeding us, GIGO, garbage-in / garbage-out. I was a NaZi, atheist, alcoholic, drug addict but the word of GOD has been saving me. Did they sell drugs on wolf street or did I have to go to Saigon? MK Ultra, CIA (now Homeland Security) brainwashing sex criminals. San Francisco, Haight-Ashbury. And Operation Sea-Spray, too.
very saddened to hear of her death , this song always had a personal meaning for me for years , I hope she passed in peace ..from where she was always welcomed and visited regularly ,Ireland
The time and place I was when I first listened to this song is always evoked every time I hear it. This song is reminiscent of it in a way that all of her songs are. It's like she was watching my life, telling my stories in her songs. No one else will ever be able to do that like Nanci did.
I began my love affair with your music when I first heard you play “Listen to the Radio” on the Today Show in the late 90’s. Storms was my first of your many recordings. Nanci, you will be forever missed. 😢❤️
Many years ago, they played this song on late night radio. I asked for the album for my Xmas. Ended up buying her whole back catalogue. Seen her live twice in Glasgow and at Edinburgh Castle. Love her. This song and "Southbound Train" 2 of my favourite all time songs.
“No one ever knows the heart of anyone else.” The truth of that lyric has stuck with me all these years. Rest In Peace, Nanci. Thanks for sharing your angelic gift with us.
@@finalascent I just found out she passed today ): I have every recording from her long career - 1977-2012. Just loved her! (: So sad about her passing.
Love love love this song....and this beautiful singer. Sad doesn't begin to describe how I feel on hearing of her passing. Heartbroken at the end of yet another musical era. Condolences to her family and friends. What a fantastic musician Heaven has just won. There will be some 'Welcome home' party in her honour with John Prine leading it. Nanci will live on through her lovely songs and playing. Fly high lovely lady.x
Such a sad day to hear of Nanci's passing. I was introduced to her music over 30 years ago and was lucky enough to see her at the Birmingham Town Hall..............I will spend today listening to her music. We have lost an unbelievable talent. RIP Nanci
What a lovely voice from a beautiful lady. I played this song over and over again the day my dear dad passed away in 1992 he was only 52 years old. Thank you Nancy this your song helped me through my heartbreak days back then. ❤️🙏🌹💐❤️
This is the soundtrack to my 1991. I saw her on Austin City limits and someone gave me this video on VHS plus my partner liked her after I introduced her music to him.
The blood in my body runs cold at the thought of this beautiful angel of song has departed this earth an angel on earth now resides in the right place RIP Nancy the treasure you left behind will keep your memory alive
Many years ago a coworker asked about my fav music. I said I love all genres but my very favorite is Nanci Griffith. She said “you can’t know Nanci…. She’s MY favorite😀
R.I.P. Nanci. Introduced to you by my good friend, Andrew in the late 1980s. Good, honest songwriting that will be enjoyed by as many generations in the future that enjoyed it since the 1970s.
i've loved her since this album..the intimate parts of the video crush my heart to this day.....i miss her....the world is a lesser place without her soul......Prine is gone....Cohen so any others
I've heard her name for many years but had never actually heard her music. I heard her music for the first time on 2-4-18 in an Albuquerque record store. Ordered my first Nanci Griffith album today. The first of many more to come. I'm hooked!
I first heard this song on a cassette player when I was about nine, and I loved it... now I'm twenty-six and I've just seen this video for the first time, and I still love it. Makes me want to cry.
Thank You for posting this gem.....Nanci Griffith is a truly wonderful artist, love her and LOVE her music......she is wonderful and beautiful....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am so very sorry to say, I have never heard this beautiful, gifted, lady sing before. I can't imagine how I missed her. Tonight I was flipping channels and stopped at pbs long enough to hear one of the most beautiful voices ever. I actually knew almost everyone on stage with her, either back up singers or musicians. I was so sad to find out she's left us. How sad I missed her. I would have loved to see her in person. But she's got it made now, one day I'll get to see her in living color, and that's still pretty awesome. I love your music princess, RIP, when we get there with you, we'll pull out all the instruments and sing for a thousand years.
In true "may you be in heaven a half hour before the devil knows you're dead" fashion, Nanci sneaked out while the world was busy with hurricanes, floods, pandemic and wildfires. I hope to go out with as much grace as she has. A vastly accomplished singer/guitarist/wordsmith that the world will not be able to replace... Now appearing nightly with John Prine and others who have gone before her. We've lost some real giants in the past couple of years, but Nanci's death is especially poignant. She's the only one who would be able to describe it aptly in a song.

Here’s to all of us homesick for a place that no longer exists.
Just heard the news that this beautiful songbird has left this world. I am very sad. Fly high, sweet Nanci.

A wonderful voice from a beautiful lady.. RIP Nanci.
She learned to fly away again...
What a treasure, we have lost,....RIP Nanci
@@johnmackinnon1026 well said
Crying tonight, an angel has left the earth. Thank you Nanci for giving me heart and hope, I'll always love you.
Me too my heart is heavy.
Your note is simple and beautiful
I believe this is my favorite Nanci Song. Next ...Last of the True believers. Miss you. Will give you the biggest hug next time I see you.
Genuinely cannot speak right now. Devastated. RIP.
This woman has had a piece of my heart for 30 years.

This song grabs me emotionally every time I hear it, and I play it a lot! 💔
35 for me
I saw her first.
About the same here
Rest in peace Nancy, It feels like I have just lost one of my best friends tonight!

One of the finest songs I've ever heard. Thanks Nanci, your music will never age. We'll miss you 😓
Here in Ireland, we took you to our hearts. There, Nanci, is the place you will live forever. May you rest in Eternal peace.
Very well said,us irish love her

So sad to read this tonight. Such a talent.

In a perfect world, this song would have been a huge hit.
I remember back when it came out, I loved watching this video on vh1.. simpler times
It was for me.
In a perfect world, this would have much better production, and it could've had a shot. The symphony version of it sounds fantastic.
In my world it still is a massive hit.
Wow...only 76 comments on this masterpiece of love torn grief. Every time I hear it my heart breaks again.
If you don' t love this this music, your soul is dead...
"What's that noise Dad?" "That's called talent son, it used to be popular."
That’s about it !
Hear hear. Top comment.
For sure, my dad introduced me to her music, we even saw her. Still love her music today, I am sad she's gone now
No autotune necessary here. This is a masterclass for today's so-called singers. God rest her soul. 😪

I saw her there too, it was a wonderful gig.
RIP ❤️ One of the most beautiful singers ever
RIP Nanci. Thank you for the wonderful music.
She is solitude in my life. I am here alone, and the person that holds me is god. Thank you, nancy!!
I’ve played this song hundreds of times over the years. Make that plus 3. Perfection.
I usually hate RUclips's recommended algorithm, but this time they got it right. I've just discovered my new favourite artist.
Welcome - a blue pill red pill moment for you.
Rest in Peace Nanci. No one ever knows the heart of anyone else, but the world is a poorer place tonight without you and my heart is breaking.
So true. God bless her.
It's a pity we lost her today. Thanks for songs, Nanci.
RIP Nanci... so sad to hear of your passing today
One of my favorite Nanci Griffith songs, and there are so many great ones to choose from. RIP dear Nanci.
Rest in peace, Songbird.
What a lovely voice from a beautiful lady. I played this song over and over again the day my dear dad passed away in 1992 he was only 52 years old. Thank you Nancy this your song helped me through my heartbreak days back then. ❤️🙏🌹💐❤️
What a sad world it will be without her precious voice in it 💔
God bless you, Nanci, I hope you knew how much you were loved
RIP ❤️
So sad to here of Nanci passing, the world has lost a very beautiful person. Thank you 🙏
I gave her a book..touched her hand and she touched my heart. Would love to see her again.
She's beautiful inside and out. Good bye Nanci....and thank you. You've broken more hearts than you'll ever know.....
Rip 🙏 the soundtrack to a large part of my youth and a solid recall throughout all
my adult life, sadly missed
This is the soundtrack to my 1991. I saw her on Austin City limits and someone gave me this video on VHS plus my partner liked her after I introduced her music to him.
The blood in my body runs cold at the thought of this beautiful angel of song has departed this earth an angel on earth now resides in the right place RIP Nancy the treasure you left behind will keep your memory alive
One of my favorite songs of any written. And Nancy is a beauty, a timeless princess in this video. Enjoy your morning flight to anywhere but here… RIP
I used to love playing her songs when I was 19 in folk clubs in Cardiff Wales, she was a great inspiration x
Oh no, no!! So desperately sad to read that Nanci has passed away. Thank you for all the wonderful music, Nanci. Please, Rest in Peace.
Had the pleasure of meeting nanci twice.

Thank you, Nanci, for the great music. May you Rest In Peace. Say hello to my beautiful wife up there.
The sweetest voice and sweetest soul - we'll miss you
Rest in peace Nanci, you beautiful soul. I just learned of your passing and I write this with tears in my eyes. You'll be missed.
I love Nancy Griffith. I played and replayed my cassette of her music until it was totally wasted. I miss her.
She sang to me during my darkest days. I never thanked her.
RIP Nanci. I loved you so. Go find John and make wonderful music again...
I absolutely adore this beautiful track by Nanci, I've listened to it for 30 years and still sounds amazing, RIP Nanci ❤️
You be sadly missed. Your voice music will live on x
R.I.P. Nanci. Introduced to you by my good friend, Andrew in the late 1980s. Good, honest songwriting that will be enjoyed by as many generations in the future that enjoyed it since the 1970s.
The voice of an angel! She was too good for this earth.
It Broke my heart when I heard Nanci died. She has been in my life and I will miss her like a best friend.
I love you, Nancy. Listened to my favorites and she’d a tear or two. I’ll never forget your music: music alone shall live!
A perfect song. Masterpiece.
RIP beautiful songbird xx
Rest in Peace, Nanci.
RIP Nanci, go fly away on that Blackbird's wing 🙏🙏

RIP Nanci 🙏
Happy birthday Nancy. Your music touches my heart and soul . You are so pure and talented. Thank you
I never noticed until today, she is reading Raymond Carver's Cathedral. I didn't think I could love this any more.
Beautiful song, beautifully sung.
Anybody in 2020?
Never get tired of listening to this beautiful voice. Many wonderful memories...with feelings
