In the late 90's I had the pleasure of having dinner with Melodie Crittenden. Not only does she sing like an angel, she is a lovely and genuinely kind woman with a heart of Gold.
THIS is my favorite version of this song, I have been in love with it since Dawson's Creek aired it in the season 1 finale. I even bought her cd. When Rascal Flatts re released this I was like "OMG..This is my DC song!!" But this one out beats theirs everytime.
I missed DC when I was younger - just started it on Netflix. Had to run over here. I first heard this from Country Comfort and am forever grateful. Their version captured my heart, but this version does ring a bit differently as well.
I totally agree with you. My favourite song since I fell in love with it because of Dawson's Creek season 1 when Dawson is looking for Joey and he finds her in the cupboard 😂😭 THE BEST VERSION EVER ❤️🔥
Heard this from Dawson's Creek tv show, almost a decade ago. I was fascinated by this. One of the best love song we can offer to the one we loved and to the one who created love within us, our Lord!
I will always remember this song as "the one" from Dawson's Creek. worked perfectly for Dawson and Joey in the end of the first season, but is magical for Dawson and Percy!
Dawson e Joey,eu era muito fã, não pedia um episódio,depois de tudo que eles passaram para ficarem juntos, até hoje depois de 18 anos, nunca acreditei naquela final da série, o Dawson e a Joey não terminaram juntos,foi uma grande decepção pra mim 😪
I fell in love with this when I saw it on Dawson's Creek. I bought her cd just for this song way back when. Still have it! I love Rascal Flatts, but when I heard them singing it all I could think is that they stole it from her. I know they have to pay for it and all that, but it's sooooo much better by Melodie.
This song describes how the process of getting over a past relationship can eventually lead to a better love. The lost loves are like stars, which point their way to the one who is truly best. These stars direct you down a road that was blessed by God, who was the one that lead you to the love. This song was originally recorded by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band on their 1994 album Acoustic. The first version to be released as a single came out in 1998 by the Country singer Melodie Crittenden under the title "Broken Road." "I got married to an amazing man at the age of 34. It isn't that I didn't want to settle down before that, I just hadn't met 'the one.' It seems society kind of puts a stigma on those that are single and thirty-something or forty-something. Let me tell you, don't listen to everyone else. God's timing is perfect! He has a plan for each and everyone of us. 'Bless the Broken Road' talks about all the different roads one goes down to find their true love. It could also be about how you met your best friend or how you found the Lord. When I would get lonely and frustrated, waiting on my husband to come along, I always tried to remind myself of one very important thing. God is in control! He's always been there and always will be. I am so thankful I handed God the reigns because, with Him, I knew I'd go down the right path."
"gods timing" what a fucking joke. Im not waiting forever for something that will never happen. I want a virgin girl, ill never get one and since I'm used up myself there's no point in holding onto hope for a love that doesn't exist and will never happen.
This song makes me bawl every time and I'm not even a huge country music fan...this version is my favorite. I just keep listening to it over & over; it speaks to me. Does anyone know if there is orchestral arrangement sheet music for this song?
Bless The Broken Road I set out on a narrow way, many years ago Hoping I would find true love along the broken road But I got lost a time or two Wiped my brow and kept pushing through I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you Every long lost dream led me to where you are Others who broke my heart, they were like northern stars Pointing me on my way into your loving arms This much I know is true That God blessed the broken road That led me straight to you Yes He did I think about the years I spent, just passing through I'd like to have the time I lost, and give it back to you But you just smile and take my hand You've been there, you understand It's all part of a grander plan that is coming true Every long lost dream led me to where you are Others who broke my heart, they were like northern stars Pointing me on my way into your loving arms This much I know is true That God blessed the broken road That led me straight to you But now I'm just rolling home into my lover's arms This much I know is true That God blessed the broken road That led me straight to you That God blessed the broken road That led me straight to you

My mom asked me to sing this at her wedding... well she said Rascal Flatts, but this version I think is better (and in my range lol) love this song... thanks for the post!
This song made it's debut on a episode of Dawson's Creek. I fell inlove with it immediately and bought the tape then couldn't find it. RF's version was disappointing and although I love RF, he sounds like Kermit the frog when he sings.
Thank you thank you thank you for posting this! As far as I am concerned this is the ONLY version of "Broken Road"... I burned ALL of my Rascal Flatts CD's, when I heard them cover it!
@MUSICROX83 This came out just before CMT became useless. I saw it fairly often back in '98, but since then CMT has become too focused on top 20 songs and the artists that the record companies tell us we should be listening to. They used to play TONS of artists that never got radio play.
Ugh!!! I wanted this song in our wedding so bad but it didn't work out!I didn't know who this was and I'm not even sure if I knew the song title:( I would've wanted this version,Rascal Flatts version wasn't around then(still would've wanted this one even tho I love RF).
This woman was recommended to me and she is gerat - why was there only 1 cd out ???Crazy .Others I recently discovered who did not make it big are Tammy Graham, Lisa Stewart , Lydia Miller , Rissi Palmer and a little more well known was Ronna Reeves and Joy Lynn White . These ladies all have more talent than Faith Hill, Shania, etc in my opinion .
doogleandalix I love Rissi Palmer's music as well. I'm shocked she did not hit it big either. I'm hoping she will try to release more Country Music Songs sometime in the near future and hit it HUGE the second time around. :)
I have been trying to find this version of this song on Itunes and i have not been able to find it. I've been finding weird versions. Can anyone help me?!!
@jmsweat....actually this is not the original recording....this is the second version, and rascal flatts is the third version....the original version was done by its songwriter, marcus hummon, in 1995....i have that version on my ipod
No, this is not the original version, but it much more closely resembles the original recording compared to Rascal Flatt's cover. Unfortunately, most people think RF is the original because of its popularity and commercial success. The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band released the original recording back in 1994. One of the co-writers, Jeff Hanna, is a member of this band. Another co-writer, Marcus Hummon, released his own version a year later.
@nickz777 I knew that! :P But I am NOT mean... I loved, loved, LOVED RF before their take on this song came out. Gary took what should be a simple love song about the blessing of finding your soulmate and turned it into a overprocessed oversung karaoke song.
@ivojnob Download the free Real Player program and with it you'd be able to rip the audio of this video and convert into an mp3....it's pretty user friendly.
In the late 90's I had the pleasure of having dinner with Melodie Crittenden. Not only does she sing like an angel, she is a lovely and genuinely kind woman with a heart of Gold.

Your comment is from 2011. It is now 2020. It is still a good song,
I missed DC when I was younger - just started it on Netflix. Had to run over here. I first heard this from Country Comfort and am forever grateful. Their version captured my heart, but this version does ring a bit differently as well.
I totally agree with you. My favourite song since I fell in love with it because of Dawson's Creek season 1 when Dawson is looking for Joey and he finds her in the cupboard 😂😭
THE BEST VERSION EVER ❤️🔥
I'm watching Dawson's Creek now. I take out the six seasons every few years and it's still so good. This song is fab.
Best version ever. Dawson's Creek bought me here.🥰
I came here after binge watching Dawson's Creek- Now love this song...
Omg pure nostalgia listening to this! Dawson's creek memories
Just looked it up because I’m currently rewatching Dawson’s Creek lol
My favorite version of this song. First heard it on Dawson's Creek in 1998! I was going through a really bad time
Love the way she sings it> love this episode of Dawson's Creek. Dawson and Joey ❤❤
Dawson's Creek!! 🤗
Heard this from Dawson's Creek tv show, almost a decade ago. I was fascinated by this. One of the best love song we can offer to the one we loved and to the one who created love within us, our Lord!
This is THE best version of this song! Man, I wish Meldodie had made more records - what a great voice!
Bless nitty gritty dirt band for writing such a prolific song that has been covered and garnered commercial success for multiple artists
I will always remember this song as "the one" from Dawson's Creek. worked perfectly for Dawson and Joey in the end of the first season, but is magical for Dawson and Percy!
Nobody's done it right since Melodie. Sing it out loud, guys and gals.
yes!!!!!
Omg my favourite version I first heard in Dawson's creek thanks so much
I've loved this song since it was featured on Dawson's Creek years ago. And this version is still by far the best out there. Thank you for posting! :)
Dawson's creek final episode 1 season brought me here ♥️ what a great 90's show... I wish i could live those years
I remember when this came out, Fell in love with it immediately and is still my favorite version
Love this song. I agree that her version is the best!
Really nice version of this wonderful song.
It all feels like yesterday indeed God blessed d broken road dt led mi straight to my husband....
Have LOVED this song since it's release in the late 90's.
This is my favorite version of this song. I picked up this CD in a clearance rack 8 years ago. Thanks Melodie. God Bless You.
Dawson e Joey,eu era muito fã, não pedia um episódio,depois de tudo que eles passaram para ficarem juntos, até hoje depois de 18 anos, nunca acreditei naquela final da série, o Dawson e a Joey não terminaram juntos,foi uma grande decepção pra mim 😪
Pow, até que enfim alguém que me entende. Pra mim não fazia sentido joey não ficar com Dawson no final.
Concordo plenamente!
Best version of this song ever, first heard it on dawson's creek
I fell in love with this when I saw it on Dawson's Creek. I bought her cd just for this song way back when. Still have it! I love Rascal Flatts, but when I heard them singing it all I could think is that they stole it from her. I know they have to pay for it and all that, but it's sooooo much better by Melodie.
She didn’t write it either. It’s a Nitty Gritty Dirt Band song from the 70’s
@@jh9543 I had no idea! Thank you!
I love that CD. Didn't know who Melodie was and paid 2 bucks from the cutout rack in 1999. What a gem that CD is!
@LittleMissMusicMaker One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.
Oh I found it! Love this & Rascal Flatts version too.

Sííííííííí exactamente
This song makes me bawl every time and I'm not even a huge country music fan...this version is my favorite. I just keep listening to it over & over; it speaks to me. Does anyone know if there is orchestral arrangement sheet music for this song?
Luv this version, have been looking for it for ages,
thanks.
*STILL* makes me tear up after all these years.
this is a great song. well done melodie :)
God bless the broken Road..
love this song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
amazing song......would have walked down the asile on my wedding day to this song if this song had been around then....
Thank you for this. I prefer the piano as the backbone, and the singer's smokey soul and depth was necessary. Bravo.
Bless The Broken Road
I set out on a narrow way, many years ago
Hoping I would find true love along the broken road
But I got lost a time or two
Wiped my brow and kept pushing through
I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart, they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
Yes He did I think about the years I spent, just passing through
I'd like to have the time I lost, and give it back to you
But you just smile and take my hand
You've been there, you understand
It's all part of a grander plan that is coming true Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart, they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you But now I'm just rolling home into my lover's arms
This much I know is true That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you

traduzione in Italiano
BENEDICI LA STRADA SCONNESSA
Ho preso una strada stretta, diversi anni fa
sperando che avrei trovato il vero amore lungo la strada sconnessa
ma mi sono perso una o due volte
mi sono asciugato la fronte e sono andato avanti
non riuscivo a vedere come ogni segno mi indicava, diritto, te ogni lungo sogno perduto mi conduce dove sei tu
gli altri che mi spezzarono il cuore
erano come stelle polari
che mi indicavano il cammino fino tra le tue braccia amorevoli
Tutto ciò che so
è che Dio ha benedetto la strada sconnessa
che mi ha condotto dritto da te
sì, l'ha benedetta Ripenso agli anni che ho trascorso, giusto passandoci attraverso
mi piacerebbe avere il tempo che ho perso e donartelo indietro
ma tu sorridi e prendi la mia mano
tu eri lì, e capisci
fa ttto parte di un progetto più grande che si sta realizzando ogni lungo sogno perduto mi conduce dove sei tu
gli altri che mi spezzarono il cuore
erano come stelle polari
che mi indicavano il cammino fino tra le tue braccia amorevoli
Tutto ciò che so
è che Dio ha benedetto la strada sconnessa
che mi ha condotto dritto a te Ma proprio ora sto tornando a casa, tra le braccia del mio amato
tutto ciò che so
è che Dio ha benedetto la strada sconnessa
che mi ha condotto dritto da te
è che Dio ha benedetto la strada sconnessa
che mi ha condotto dritto da te.
Melodie Crittenden was a hot chick during this period and when she was backup singer on Allen Jackson's Precious Memories Show.
My mom asked me to sing this at her wedding... well she said Rascal Flatts, but this version I think is better (and in my range lol) love this song... thanks for the post!
Dawson’s Creek brought me here
This is the best version, the rascal Flatts is like whining boys
This was in my opinion the best song in Dawson’s Creek it was a shame only use it once
It became a great karaoke song
Why the radio stations don't play this original version?
This song made it's debut on a episode of Dawson's Creek. I fell inlove with it immediately and bought the tape then couldn't find it. RF's version was disappointing and although I love RF, he sounds like Kermit the frog when he sings.
broken road une chanson nostalgique pour mon coeur
Thank you thank you thank you for posting this! As far as I am concerned this is the ONLY version of "Broken Road"... I burned ALL of my Rascal Flatts CD's, when I heard them cover it!
@geniek82 It's also on her CD from 1998 simply titled Melodie Crittenden.
When I realized this song exists. I thought Rascal Flatts recorded this first, but I thought wrong all along.
Nitty Gritty Dirt Band from the 70’s original
Dawson's Creek brought me here😂😊

"Broken road" means an "abandoned road" or a "damaged road"???
+Tom Weschenfeller It means damaged road.
+Schmetti thanks
@angel4405 LOL!! you're so mean..you should know that this isn't the original cover too. :P
Justin Bieber
