    True a prophetic voice for our age I can hear my ancestors the original people's of Texas cry out. The time to heal the earth and all it's people is now .Let this song be that prayer of wholeness and reconciliation

    Grammy nomination...is. in. order. So proud of this brilliant talent. Shine girl shine. I wish some native American soul could be incorporated into this. Same tears. Same abuse. Black people were taken from their native land. Native Americans were taken from their land and THEIR land was taken. Rhiannons music is powerful and beautiful. Truly magnificent.

    My daughter chose this song along with Billie Holidays ‘39 recording of Strange Fruit for her final highscool assignment. White as snow and 19 years old from Denmark. You touch a lot of people. What a powerful song/video. Thank you

    Hearing her the first time a few years ago completely changed my taste in music. Her voice speaks to me in ways no other has. Her powerful message is needed and appreciated. Keep the faith Miss Giddons, we need your voice, not just singing.

    During this pandemic I have had the opportunity to enjoy Rhiannon Giddens musical performances. Whether it is classical, spiritual, folk or without description she has provided some of the finest performances we have witnessed. Such a moving body of work. Cry No More should be a shoe-in for a Grammy Nomination in whatever category you choose.

    Lately I've been feeling like the world is going to shit. Like everything is getting even worse than it was before.
    I know it's my depression talking when I wonder why I even keep going. But a part of me is still too stubborn to give up so I will stay strong and see the better day that we built for ourselves.

    First time I saw this young woman I was fascinated by her talent. The second time she scared me. Then I saw her play (I think) five instruments. On Ken Burn's documentary she was just another real person. Somebody tell me, is she not the most talented woman in North America? For the record: I have grandchildren older than her, so I've seen my share of talent.

    • @FlyinSparky
      @FlyinSparky 3 года назад +6

      First her voice & storytelling drew me, then her sheer musical talent, then her scholarship & credentials, then the voice she has used to such powerful extent over the last several months in particular. Every one of her songs leaves me riveted, not wanting to blink because it feels disrespectful to take my gaze for even a second from such power and ability. She is amazing.

    • @karenvalentino2992
      @karenvalentino2992 3 года назад +1

      I saw her for the first time on Nashville, and her voice blew me away. Then in Ken Burns documentary I began to get a glimpse of the breadth of her talent. Now I’ll follow her anywhere. This is such a powerful piece!

    I just discovered this incredibly talented woman. Such much to unravel & appreciate. So much to contemplate.
    I left my home in Colorado 17 years ago to teach and work abroad, mostly in Africa. I fell in love with East Africa over 20 years ago. I still live here, now in Ethiopia. I prefer Africa for many reasons, the main being I am not surrounded by racist Americans an can appreciate the people for who they are without that curse. I love what she communicates. American would be so much, much less, so shallow without the contributions of African peoples then the African Americans. So valuable all she communicates to so many.

In the meantime, try being a kinder more compassionate human. Scroll on. If I need your opinion, I'll ask for it.

    • @bmiles4131
      @bmiles4131 3 года назад +1

      It’s a debate due to our systemic racism. So much brainwashing in our politics and society for so many years that people often honestly don’t realize what they are actually supporting. It’s like a detox program has to happen before any real discussion. This detox of hearts and minds must continue after the election, regardless of outcome.

    Thank you! This song, this performance is so amazing and heartfelt and affirming. Rhiannon Giddens and her heart and her art are what we need right now.
    Politics make me despair. This art and this affirmation gives me room for my soul to soar.
    Thank you thank you thank you a thousand times.
    Let's make a difference. It begins with you. And me. And the vast number of Americans who want a better world for everyone but especially to ensure justice for those who have gone without for far too long.
