- From a live appearance during the late 1980's comes this song from Nanci. It was released in her 6th album by MCA which was entilted LITTLE LOVE AFFAIRS. The year of the release was 1988. While Nanci Griffith worked in a variety of music genres this one can best be described as what she called "Folkabilly".

Very sad news today. This was the first song of Nanci’s I heard. I had never really listened to any artists of her genre before, being more of a hard rock fan, but she opened a door for me that significantly expanded my musical boundaries. RIP Nanci, I love your work.
I had the exact same experience, then spent years exploring everything she did.
Same here: as a 20 something, country and folk held little interest to me until something made me buy little love affairs - and hearing Nanci's glorious voice for the first time blew me away. It was I wish it would rain that I loved the most, and 30 years later I often sang in to my baby daughter when rocking her to sleep. A unique and underappreciated talent, who made the most beautiful and timeless music.
Yes, saw her for the first time on Austin City Limits in the 80's singing this song, and that was IT for me.....
I have to say,Tim, I'm in the same boat, I came to hear her music in 2017,..been a fan ever since.
Aw it's so sad 😢💔 that Nanci Griffith is no longer with us 😢 R.I.P Nanci 🙏🌹
Rest in peace Nancy, It feels like I have just lost one of my best friends tonight!
one of the few musicians I've cried when I heard the news. I feel like I've lost a friend.
I feel the same 😭
her and John Prine...@@sarahgilchrist7673
For me, Nanci will be forever frozen just like this.
I don’t think I realized it until I read your comment, but that is exactly what I’ve been feeling these past couple of years.
RIP Nancy, you were one of the greatest, a national treasure to be sure and a fixture in my musical life.
I love her cuteness and quirky voice. She never would marry me tho, and HELL YES I hold it against her! 🤭
A talented, dignified and understated lady has died and I for one will miss her presence, even though we never met. Thank you Nanci
When my daughter was almost 2 I was playing this song in my truck. She was in her car seat and though she could barely talk she would sing out "faaaace clean"....it was so cute!!! I will always love this woman's music. From Once in a Very Blue Moon ... and on out. 😪
She looks so young and sweet that is how we' ll remember her.
I remember exactly where I was when I heard her voice for the first time....hooked!...Love her voice, always will xxx
Me too, not many I can say that about.
Andy Kershaw played tracks from the newly released Lone Star State Of Mind LP on his radio show, blew me away.
Me too. In a Woolworths store. Stocking up on unnecessary plastic items. I was also hooked. RIP Nancy x
I’m so heartbroken that Nanci has passed. Her songs brought me thru some rough times. Godspeed, Nanci. Teach the Angels to sing! They’ve never heard such a voice!! and we, unfortunately, will never hear one like it again. 💔💔
Used to cover this song and several other of Nanci's tunes in a band i was in, she was a shining light back in the 80's when good music was at a premium , in the following decades her standards never dropped and the world is a sadder place without her in it . RIP Nanci
Such a soft spoken powerhouse voice! She’s an exercise in contradiction and I thank God for her. Her music has comforted and healed me over the years!
This girl is an angel in disguise 💖
John Ager she certainly sounds like one.
"Exercise in contradiction" indeed! I want to describe her as a meek powerhouse, or a gentle forest fire or something. What a beautiful soul and a great loss.
@@markw4206 I hadn’t heard of her passing!! That’s just awful 😢 I’m sitting here with tears😭
@@faithcampbell1632 Yes, it's crushing - no other way to put it! Been a fan since the late 80s here.
I'm gratified to hear how she impacted others as she impacted me. RIP. Godspeed.
Nanci Griffith, John Prine, Iris DeMent, Tish Hinojosa some of my all time favorites.
Tish Hinojosa! I love music, saw her live on Martha’s Vineyard, learned to sing and play a whole bunch of her songs
An angel is singing.
I'm still singing these songs with my brother and sister.. Love Nancy... X
Rest In Peace Nanci.. A bright light gone from our sight but you will forever shine in our hearts and in our souls.. 🙏
A true tragedy
I feel in love with Nancy at first sight many years ago at a concert in Austin. We are the same age but she is gone - it's so sad to lose this beautiful talent so young. RIP
God bless her, RIP Nanci... we'll keep on listening. Thank you for all of the great music.
I'm all tore up RIP Nanci Griffith You always moved me God bless you LOVE ♥️
love in a memory...sparkles like diamonds indeed...and it doesn't have to be romantic love. The past is sooooo seductive.
Nanci left a beautiful legacy with her music.
Health is like the weather - you don't control it; it controls you. Such a pleasure to have heard this wonder of country girl singing !
My first voice crush, don't git much better ...it's rainin in my world rest easy Nanci ,,,harmonies and angels
RIP Nanci. Thank you so much.
i have all of her albums on 33 vinyl records
Proud to say I knew her back in the Houston, Rockefellers, Lyle Lovett days. RIP.
Rockefellers
Wow.
A lot of singers got their start there.
Rest in peace, beautiful Nanci. Tonight is a blue moon and I am sending up a prayer for you.
She wasn’t just a part of the tapestry of music life when I lived in Austin in the 80s, she was a star of it, which is saying something, Angela Strehli, Albert Collins, the Vaughn bros. The very best of a landscape of endless talent. Funny, you don’t see it that way at the Time, Seeing Nanci pass the guitar around at a singer songwriter circle at the Chicago house, seeing The Iceman dancing with his wife at Antones on his night off. You don’t miss it Til it’s gone, Nanci is missed already, what a miracle she is
She had a Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz innocence. No matter what, she just could not be sunk. Loving her spirit - but I wish it would rain.
Nanci 'sparkles like diamonds'....she will be sorely missed. RIP, Angel, your music will live on 'til the end of time.
Man alive,..this lady is a musical treasure,....
Helluva a performer. Her charisma dominates the stage.
Einzigartige Sängerin
I will miss her. Her music was magic and will live on!
Little Love Affairs is my all time favorite Nanci Griffith album.
Woke up thinking of this song today. Can’t believe it is nearly a year since she’s been gone. Lovely to see a video where she is looking happy and healthy and young. It was late eighties when I first heard her, thanks to Terry Wogan or Radio 2. ❤️
That deserved a standing ovation and roses thrown at her feet : )
She was great. Listened to her since the 80's.
A true Texas treasure.
Sure did have a sparkle in that voices‼️
With all due respect, I think that she looks especially beautiful in this recording.
Nanci Griffith was so talented and she always had great musicians play with her. Such a great musical treasure!
One of my all time faves, and this version in particular is such a force of solace and salvation. Many hearts will have mended listening to this, and so it'll never grow old.
RIP Nancy. Your music will always remind me of a fun chapter of my life; I will forever smile and sing to your music.
Nancy what a talent...greatly missed x
This is wonderful! What a musical soul… that 3rd verse 🥰
Absolutely beautiful voice and song ❤️🌹
My mom used to play some of her music i didnt think much of it til now. My mom had good taste lol
thanks for tuning in.
She is so amazing and talented but also.....so beautiful.
Thank you Lord for Nanci and everything she was! I so enjoyed her music, first seeing her in Telluride with a dreadnought guitar, a sun dress and just a wonderful ability to draw the crowd into her world, all alone on that big stage. Lord, may she rest in your everlasting arms!!
Ffs. spare us sane people all your religious crap.
Nancy is just so cute in this performance. Sparkling eyes, beautiful hair, and fun-filled expression on her face while she tells her story. Her voice is so pure except when she throws in a little growl for emphasis. The little dance step at 1:55 is adorable. This is my favorite of all her performances on RUclips. My next favorite is "Love at the Five and Dime" as she tells the story about Woolworth's elevator chime.
dark clouds could'nt hide this girls "little light"
RIP Nanci...Thank you for the music
Im a Townes fan and following his path also led to find Nancy. What a talent. She has felt v much part of my music family for years. We will miss this drlightful woman
I wish it would rain wash my face clean I want a dark cloud to hide in me love in a memory sparkles like diamonds when the diamonds fall it burns like tears
I'm 44, I feel as if I was cheated out of this woman's music! I never saw her on anything or knew anything about her, I had heard that a woman of her name wrote Love at The Five and Dime, but they never played any of her songs or videos on anything I ever saw. I finally found a CD at the flea market a couple years ago, and bought it becuase I recognized her as 'that' songwriter.... then after enjoying it looked her up, and discovered she had just passed away! Now I find all of her videos on youtube, and it's like "why in the world did nobody ever tell me this woman existed?" She's fantastic! The record companies and the music industry sure knows how to screw up a good thing.
So true. She was overlooked by millions who now revere her.
What brilliant writing, what a great performance.
She is such a cutie pie!
0:01 Oh, I wish it would rain
And wash my face clean
I want to find some dark cloud to hide in here
Love in a memory
Sparkled like diamonds
When the diamonds fall they burn like tears
0:32 Once I had a love from the Georgia pines
Who only cared for me
I wanna find that love of twenty-two
Here at thirty-three
I've got a heart on my right
One on my left neither suits my needs
No, the one I love lives a-way out West
And he never will need me
0:55 Oh, I wish it would rain
And wash my face clean
I want to find some dark cloud to hide in here
Love in a memory
Sparkled like diamonds
When the diamonds fall they burn like tears
1:26 I'm gonna pack up my two step shoes
And head for the Gulf Coast plains
I wanna walk the streets of my own hometown
Where everybody knows my name
I wanna ride the waves down in Galveston
When the hurricane blow in
'cause that Gulf Coast water tastes sweet as wine
When your heart's rollin' home in the wind
1:49 Oh, I wish it would rain
And wash my face clean
I want to find some dark cloud to hide in here
Love in a memory
Sparkled like diamonds
When the diamonds fall they burn like tears
2:18 When the diamonds fall, darlin'
They burn like tears
One of the Prettiest Ladies to grace the stage She could melt my heart with her smile any time
I wonder if she still looks like she's 12. What a voice. I learned of her - looking at different John Prine videos - and this angel popped up. ( Actually - the first song I heard from her was the Woolworth song )
She looks so ... " Petite " but tall some how. She has such a beautiful voice and smile... you automatically feel relaxed watching her perform... and what a song writer! Very talented woman! 👍👍😎
From the first time i heard you Nancy i fell in love with your Voice. whata a beautiful ❤️ woman as well The first time I saw you was in the Late late show in Ireland you sang From a Distance and i was hooked straight away ❤. R .I P Nancy .
I Love this Song to play along with my Mandolyn . . . . as with ALL her Songs ! Discovered & fell in-Love with her 95 when I first heard "Other Voices . . . Other Rooms " & have not turned back ! Saw her in Albuquerque in 98 & handed her a Poem I wrote about her & how she made me fall in Love with Music all over again . . . I Hoped it moved her as much as her Music has moved me !
Love her song, like her moves !
Singers like this bring more joy to the world than the whole bunch of politicians
Nice, I never heard this song until today. She is doing the two step here and I don't recall ever seeing her do that either. "When the diamonds fall they burn like tears". I can't bring her back but I can still play her music.
Love this song, so sad I only learned of her after her passing.. such a brilliant and beautiful human
I miss Nanci so much! My late husband and I loved her concerts in Seattle in the 80s. When I hear one of her songs, it transports me back to those wonderful days.
Thanks for checking in with us.
Miss her? Think she's still around.
@@MIKECNW, apparently she has retired from performing. Last time out was around 2013.
Really charming dance steps! A great voice too.
Thanks for visiting my channel.
She has a heart of gold!
Here in Texas, this is how we remember Dear Nanci :) xoxox
An angel.
On of the most beautiful voices ever!
Thanks Sharon for checking in with us.
Love when she just lets herself enjoy the music !
I saw Nanci in person in Lawrence, Kansas years ago. I just love her.
Thanks Steve for checking in with us.
I only heard about Nanci from the BBC minute, I love her ever since ❤️
I loved this song. Now it just hurts. Aloha, beautiful soul.
Lovely!
A friend of mine wrote Nancy's biography and lives very near her and is great friends with her!
A lovely lady!
You're indeed fortunate. Her voice lives in beauty.
Any chance of letting me know were I can get Nancy's Biography . Would love to read it .
I thought I met her in Tallahassee,florida in late 1970's.....I must be wrong according to the biography....oh well we were all young then.....I must be mistaken
Outstanding woman and performer!
One of my absolute favorites.
Love this song.
Such a great song by a great artist
In April 2013 Nanci Griffith remembered George Jones on her own website . Since then nothing. I mean absolutely nothing. Not on her website; and not anywhere else. I hope she is well and happy. There are times when I need to weep; and Nanci Griffith has some of the very few songs that can make me weep and make me better at the same time.
Thanks Glyn for those reminders.
She's really enjoying herself
drycha yeah, usually singers take it so seriously!
I tend to enjoy it more when I can see they’re enjoying themselves too.
Nanci was a gift to all. Magic
Hello nice song from Nancy. Best wishes to all music lovers from meschede sauerland
Love Nanci. 🩷
She is SO perfect
I'll never forget the way I felt on the first listen to "Other Voices, Other Rooms." ( I owned 3 or 4 of her CD's by then )"Across the Great Divide," "Turn Around," "and especially "Comin' Down in the Rain" had a beautiful, melancholy mood ( if that makes sense ), which matched the blue mood I was in the day I bought the CD. It's been years since I've listened, but I bet I'll still feel nostalgic, and maybe a little blue.
Thanks Lincoln for tuning in.
Amazing!
rest in peace Nanci :(
There is only one Nanci.
Shes a fantastic storyteller
Best of her earlier albums, imo
Love in a memory sparkles like diamonds when the diamonds cough fall it hurts like tears
beautiful lady xx what a loss xx
I like when she sings solo. She's perfect
Thanks Rudolph for checking in with us.
Only 68. Damn.
Goodbye, Nanci. 😢
John would have loved this
