Hug John for us. ‘And when she dies she says she’ll catch some blackbird’s wing, and she will fly away to heaven, come some sweet Blue Bonnet spring’ - RIP Nanci Griffith
I hadn’t planned on crying today, but I have loved this fine woman for decades, and now we are diminished as a people even further. God save us, without John and Nancy. What are we suppose to do now?
George Jones sang a song that has never been more relevant, "Whose Gonna Fill Their Shoes". Having listened to some of the music (I use the term loosely) that is being produced today, the answer is no one. But at least we have been left the legacy of Nancy's music and others like her.
Now at the age of 73, and now all alone, i came across John Prine music , a few years ago, and never stopped listening to it since. If you listen to every word in his songs, it will bring back in your memory things that has happen in your life.. Specially this song, Nanci version is beautiful, i am John would agree, if he was still with us... RIP the both of them, both sadly missed..
RIP Nanci, a sublime talent , she has a huge following in Ireland thanks to two wonderful larger than life figures who also are no longer with us, Philip Donnelly and John Prine. RIP you three greats , be together in music and song , although it's far far too early for the gorgeous Nanci to have to leave us mourning her . 💚❤️☘️☘️☘️🇮🇪
I found her music in 1993 just leaving for Australia to migrate. I went into a shop in Inverness and this was playing. On the strength of that I bought the album and still 30 years later listen to those same songs every week. I never get tired of them and always find a new meaning on each and every time I hear them. What a talent she had.
@@danwebb4418 Hi Dermot,Yes it was obvious Ireland had a place in Miss Nanci's heart. Im still so saddened by her passing. What a few years it has been. ☘
(google mis-translated the Irish blessing i quoted: "i ngcliabhán Dé" means, literally "in God's basket" and figuratively it means "God's cradle, i.e.baby Jesus' cradle" it is a heartfelt prayer, from the sender, asking God to keep Nanci close and lovingly cared-for: "may she spend eternity as close to God as a baby in its cradle is loved by its parents." I only learned Irish as a second language, in primary school; i was young enough to pick up the subtle meanings but am not bilingual. I am sure you will understand i did noy mean anything offensive, and i apologize if i used the wrong words to express a blessing that is really best-used by a native speaker. Nanci deserves the best ❤️ xx
I don’t know how much more my heart can take All these talented wonderful beautiful singers who made my mind light up with imagination are leaving for a better place and I’m getting so lonely
I'm also from Austin. 2 years her junior. I remember her playing Thursdays at the Hole in the Wall. I also remember the Woolworth's on Congress she wrote about Love at the 5 and dime. She'll live on through her music. Thanks again Ms. Griffith.
Just heard the news about the charming beautiful nanci who passed away today.so I'm listening under a sky full of stars in the south of france on the certain knowledge she's joined them.Thank you for this and many others
Unfortunately I caught up a little late to Nanci's astonishing talent. She has a spirit about her which is heavy as molasses, pure as fallen rain and bright as a noonday sun. Her lyrics speak with a wisdom from the heart and a first hand love of words. She will be deeply missed and not replaced. I am sorry for us all at her passing.
Back in the 60s I used to hang out with Pat McInerney. In 1966 I was with him and a group of friends when we went to see Cream at the Hemel Hempstead Pavilion. The last time I went there, just before the building was demolished, was Nancy Griffith and he was on drums.
I am just now learning from these comments that Nanci has passed on. She and John are in heaven waiting to help usher us all in the new world, just as they did on earth 💙
Very sad to hear of Nanci's passing, my childhood home was full of her music. My parents went to see her in concert a few times here in Belfast - she was one of the few big international artists who still came here during "The Troubles" and her fans here loved her for that, and her wonderful music too obviously. My Father passed away last year, Nanci and John Prine were 2 of his favourite artists, I hope they're puting on a private gig for him somewhere. R.I.P Nanci
Ar dheis Dè go raibh a hanam dìlis... May her noble soul Rest in peace... Nanci always in our heart we will really miss you.... Greetings from Dublin Ireland 🇮🇪 tis 🌧raining tears here...
Damm, that is why there is so much rain these days. The angels are weeping in sadness for our loss as well as for joy at their gain. I hope Nancy that you get time to meet and greet all your friends that have gone on before you. 💖💖

What sad news to hear the passing of Nanci Griffith, my first real introduction to country music many moons ago. Enjoyed some great concerts in Glasgow🏴. The world has become a sadder place now that Nanci has taken up her wings RIP...
I was fortunate enough to see Nanci in concert twice, and those evenings were more magical than I can say. I will miss her forever. There were days and nights when she was truly all that saved me. I wore her "Flyer" album out twice and gifted it to friends over and over. I own all her music, and I can't recommend another songbird more highly. God love her. Thank you, Nanci. Thank you especially for "Late Night Grand Hotel." Thank you for making me laugh, and thank you for making me cry. Thank you for being there when no one else could even begin to understand. There's a light beyond these woods. I know that you will go there and see what you can find.❤
Beautiful ❤️ poetic words xx i think Nanci will smile for all her friends who mourn her, she has inspired others to poetry, and taught us all we can "bring out of what is in us" when we are heartbroken 💔 when we feel nobody NOBODY could possibly understand.. We can listen to Nanci. Be it her own composition or that of another, she puts herself into it ❤️ and suddenly our tears are jewels... we are thinking of you, Nanci xx more than a beautiful songbird, more than a broken heart xx Nanci the ways of God are far beyond our understanding xx but He has a place for you, Nanci, just as He had a place for you on Earth. You remain a friend to so many of us, Rest in Peace dear Nanci xx mol xx
Her voice literally breaks my heart. I was so lucky to see her live twice. Just brings back so many memories… I’m also in tears listening to her now 🙏💜🙏 xx
Luckily I ran across her on Austin City Limits and fell in love with her. The duet with Darius Rucker was amazing. She and Eddie singing Tecumseh Valley was amazing. Highway 90 touched my heart as I've just lost my husband who worked on Alaska Coast platforms of Cook Inlet. What an amazing experience.
How did SO many years get past me(62) without finding Nanci Griffith? Such a treat to find her on utube about a year ago. I see the older takes, & without a doubt-, she sings TO ME. Touches my heart & warms my soul to see the smiles & hear the voice & gifts that her & her accompanying musicians. I can only wish I would have found her way back when, but, I will certainly treasure this time forward. Thank you Ms Griffith, for sharing the gift with the world.
I am so sad that Nanci has passed. She was wonderful and every time I listen to her music, I cry. Can't help it. Don't know why. Don't care why either. This song gets me every time.
So sorry to hear this news. Saw her in concert twice in Dublin and loved it . Gone way too early Nanci . Heaven got another music icon and the earth is poorer for it . Rest in peace .🍀🇮🇪
I was lucky enough to go to her SUN MOON AND STARS tour concert in Manchester in 1990, I was wearing white rhinestoned jeans covered in sun's moons n stars, Me,, blonde,, nearly everyone else looked like a clone of Nanci wearing the signature dress she wore on her album cover THE BEST OF,, i still remember the buzz and even though up in the God's,,,in The Nynex back then, I felt she was singing only to me and wowzers, even more fantastic live, her music helped me through some terrible sad tough years, helped me cry, think smile,, sob. Loved FORD ECONOLINE, n was sure it was meant only for me, nobody wanted to listen as "country was fuddy duddy". They didn't know what they were missing, so NANCI G, hope you're still using your "voice like wine to sing as sweet as a mockingbird" up there. Your music is keeping you alive in our hearts 💕. 😢
What in the world does it take for this brilliantly talented lady to get much more airplay she was a superbly talented lady bless her memory.Nanci Griffith ✨🎶🌟🕊️
How did SO many years get past me(59) without finding Nanci Griffith? Such a treat to find her on utube today. She touches my heart & warms my soul to see the smiles & hear the voice & gifts that her & her accompanying musicians. Thank you Ms Griffith, for sharing the gift with the world.
Fell into all this in 1973, I'm a lucky man. John was an amazing friend, well Nanci I had my soul crush that'll last beyond time. Perfect storm, now we morn. Thank you is all I've got, unless you count this bucket of tears.
Nanci kissed me on the cheek one night after open mike at "The Other Side" music bar in Austin on the Drag circa 1981-ish. I have loved her voice and music ever since.
A true artist .RIP. Much underrated. Portraying her times, and those of them before her. Will continue to play her for years to come and remember her .

Oh yes 💙🎶😢

Yes RAa
I hadn’t planned on crying today, but I have loved this fine woman for decades, and now we are diminished as a people even further. God save us, without John and Nancy. What are we suppose to do now?
Get a grip 🙄
I guess learn from them!
George Jones sang a song that has never been more relevant, "Whose Gonna Fill Their Shoes". Having listened to some of the music (I use the term loosely) that is being produced today, the answer is no one. But at least we have been left the legacy of Nancy's music and others like her.
I’m crying in my coffee 🥰
I just recently discovered her and for some strange reason this song gets me teary eyed!
If everyone would listen to and appreciate the quality of music, the world would be a better place.
You got it right John.
This beautiful Texas Lady should be in the country hall of fame!
Now our world is filled with zeroes
A bleak and melancholy gray.
We lost one of our singing heroes
Nanci Griffith passed away.
Crying tonight. John Prine last year, Nancy today. I hate getting old.
I fear that the speed of the sound of loneliness is upon us more than ever now.

Me to I’m 70 found John prime 5-6 yrs ago
We all have memories , some happy & some sad ! Memory is the diary that we all carry around with us .
She was always so happy
I've been playing n singing John Prine songs since the 70's always a crowd pleaser
Nanci Griffith is one of the reasons why I absolutely despise mainstream radio. They have never gave her music any attention.
RIP Nanci, a sublime talent , she has a huge following in Ireland thanks to two wonderful larger than life figures who also are no longer with us, Philip Donnelly and John Prine. RIP you three greats , be together in music and song , although it's far far too early for the gorgeous Nanci to have to leave us mourning her . 💚❤️☘️☘️☘️🇮🇪

Miss her so much listening to this haunting voice, makes me saddddd!

The world has lost a great singer, poet, musician, and a beautiful soul ❤.
I love this woman and I miss her. Gone too soon.
One of the greatest American singer songwriters, brimming with US culture.
Just devasted to hear the sad news today. A lady,a beautiful soul and huge talent. From Ireland ☘
Ireland was her second home..and for John also...
@@danwebb4418 Hi Dermot,Yes it was obvious Ireland had a place in Miss Nanci's heart. Im still so saddened by her passing. What a few years it has been. ☘

How did she pas?. WOW What a talent. RIP
R.I.P. Nanci, your music and personality will forever shine
An outstanding version of the great John Prine song..R.I.P. John and Nanci.
I don’t know how much more my heart can take All these talented wonderful beautiful singers who made my mind light up with imagination are leaving for a better place and I’m getting so lonely
I know I cried when I heard. Maybe her and John and the rest are teaming up with the rest of the angels who left us, to help us down here. We need it.
All the beauty is leaving us down here I can’t wait to get up there to the greatest concert ever!
I'm also from Austin. 2 years her junior. I remember her playing Thursdays at the Hole in the Wall. I also remember the Woolworth's on Congress she wrote about Love at the 5 and dime. She'll live on through her music. Thanks again Ms. Griffith.
“When you can’t find a friend, you’ve still got your radio…”
@@lindaellis2265 Music is a companion, a comfort, a salve, an inspiration, a joy, and an exhilarating tonic...
Heartbreaking news that such a beautiful person has left us.... safe journey home Nanci..... from your forever friends in Dublin Ireland......
RIP Nanci. Beautiful singer, so humble and a beautiful soul. Condolences to her family and friends.
Loved her music
Just heard the news about the charming beautiful nanci who passed away today.so I'm listening under a sky full of stars in the south of france on the certain knowledge she's joined them.Thank you for this and many others
Not too many people have their finger on the pulse of humanity as does John Prine. He puts a human face on every topic he undertakes.
doesn't matter who covers Johns music it tugs at the old heart every time.
Wow, so poetically and brilliantly said. So true.
don't be so dramatic
True that
I love this song! This is such a good song for our present times. One of the best singers in our generation. Thank you Nanci.
Unfortunately I caught up a little late to Nanci's astonishing talent. She has a spirit about her which is heavy as molasses, pure as fallen rain and bright as a noonday sun. Her lyrics speak with a wisdom from the heart and a first hand love of words. She will be deeply missed and not replaced. I am sorry for us all at her passing.
Very well put!
Me too. It's so damn hard to fall in love with someone after they've gone on.
This one really hurts. Blessings on your travels into the great beyond.
Rest in peace Nancy, It feels like I have just lost one of my best friends tonight!
Voice of an Angel, now singing with the Angels!! ❤️❤️❤️🎼💔
You always touched my heart❣️
😢😢
May her memory be a blessing! What a joy she gave us!
One of the most beautiful and incredible songs ever written and performed. Biblical.
Epic.
Life without music would be a dark place. Peace
Nietzsche said that and he was a man of war so music even creates agreement between pacifists and lovers of battle
Life without John Prine would be a darker place. Get well John!!
Music can inspire both evil and good hopefully good will prevail
Peace to you, brother.
Raymond LaBay Oh yeah. It's gettin me through. Playin and listening a lot lately
So sad to learn of Nancy’s passing love her music May she Rest In Peace

OMG !!!what in the world was Better for Music than John Prine & Nanci Griffith!!!!,💚❤️💙🎶😃🥰
This lady had a million man's hearts in the palm of her voice.
Damn good shit Mike
A few 1,000 women too.
She has mine many years.
Well put!
And her gorgeous smile.
I am just now learning from these comments that Nanci has passed on. She and John are in heaven waiting to help usher us all in the new world, just as they did on earth 💙
I didn't know either 😞
Prine & Griffiths ,gone forever.......Imortal in many ways. What a lovely, lovely song.
One of my favorite covers of a John Prine song. RIP, John.
Nancy is one special lady, she does John's songs so beautifully.
@@crazeedogs Also she does Townes Van Zandts songs beautifully.
Did you know she sang it with him when they were younger and so stinking cute?

First time I ever heard or saw Nanci Griffith I was on CQ duty (Army) at Fort Bragg, NC, back in the mid-80s. The ACQ had his TV and we were watching some wee hours music show. This pretty little long-haired gal sang "Once in a Very Blue Moon." I was hooked right then and there. Still a favorite song of mine. When just my dog and I drove out of Alaska, to Arkansas and eventually ending up at Fort Drum, NY, Nanci's music played on the truck's stereo for many, many miles of that long trip. Her music kept me company in a few failing relationships along the way as well. I wrote this poem listening to her music back in 1994. It's long, but I'll leave it as a tribute.
Hot Chocolate and Nanci Griffith © 1994 by me.
Acoustic guitar plays
and her voice sings to my heart.
Fall is cold and I like it much.
I love the lonesome
in her voice.
And Nanci sings it too,
pouring from the headphones,
connected to my heart and soul.
Hot chocolate sits
in the cup by my hand.
Soft brown, it is warm
and I like it much.
I love the sweetness
in the warmth.
And the warmth is good,
dancing over my tongue,
warming my heart and soul.
And me, I sit
in a house, not alone.
Surrounding me, the songs sing
and I like it much.
I love the lonely and
how it takes me away.
And my heart cries its tears,
wishing for distant roads
and rainy nights.
Will the courage
ever come.
The courage to be true,
honestly true to myself?
Sing a little longer.
Keep the chocolate warm
a little longer.
Maybe, maybe I can be
just a little stronger.
That’s so beautiful.
Wow. I had forgotten I posted that. Thank you.

Greetings from Dublin Ireland 🇮🇪 tis 🌧raining tears here...
I am truly heart broken. Nanci introduced me to the music of John Prine. I saw her many times in concert. We have lost a wee gem of music xxx
Nobody will ever sing this quite as sweetly- said through the tears of an old man who will forever love you.
RIP beautiful song bird! So many good memories of your music !
Damm, that is why there is so much rain these days. The angels are weeping in sadness for our loss as well as for joy at their gain. I hope Nancy that you get time to meet and greet all your friends that have gone on before you. 💖💖
I had the pleasure of seeing Nanci perform in Birmingham Alabama circa 2003. Excellent show.

Paul same with me I am 69 only discovered John Prine about 9 years ago All those wasted years.
If you haven't seen her sing "From a Distance" on the old Letterman show, find it right away. Also, "Love at the Five and Dime."
thank you. she is a treasure and so are these videos, especially now.

R.I.P from Sweden...Dear Nancy! for this beautiful song, I will remember you forever!
Beautiful song, by John prine, nanci griffith you sang it best, can't believe she has passed, brings tears, I play it every day x
I am so sad that Nanci has passed. She was wonderful and every time I listen to her music, I cry. Can't help it. Don't know why. Don't care why either. This song gets me every time.
John did well writing this and Nanci is the perfect person to deliver his work. Beautiful job.
This is one of John Prine's many masterpieces. Thank you for posting Nanci's version. It really is a beautiful song.
❤️❤️
It's one of my favorite songs of John's. Who am I kidding, they are all my favorites. But this one IS special.
Rest in peace Nanci. Thank you.

Rest in Peace Nanci > you'll charm the Angels with your songs
Gotta remember the things we leave, especially those things like art or music, never die, are immortal….RIP Nancy & John.
I imagine John Prine greeted her with a tuned guitar, and they immediately got down to business:)

Fell into all this in 1973, I'm a lucky man. John was an amazing friend, well Nanci I had my soul crush that'll last beyond time. Perfect storm, now we morn. Thank you is all I've got, unless you count this bucket of tears.
Remember introducing this song to my late Dad and he loved it so much. Thank you Nanci and John Prine 💜💖
What a delightful and gracious person she was. See you on the next ray of light. RIP
Thank you for your voice and music, Nanci. RIP, my lady.
I just discovered Nanci Griffith now thanks to Pig radio here in Santa Cruz. What a beautiful voice. Both Nanci and John Prine in Heaven!!
Rest in 🕊️ peace Nanci
She was second to none in the leagues of great singer songwriter performers. Unique top notch vocals just like Emmylou and Alison Krauss.
She is so beautiful & captivating and wonderful. . .
So sad that we lost John Prine but we still have the wonderful songs he wrote like, this one, to enjoy.
I miss you Nancy. Regards from England. ❤🏴
I've been listening to Nanci for 30 years & have had a crush on her from the very beginning!!!
Thanks...glad you liked it...Timothy :-)
Have loved her that long also. Woman crush ?????????????
Nanci kissed me on the cheek one night after open mike at "The Other Side" music bar in Austin on the Drag circa 1981-ish. I have loved her voice and music ever since.
Artie RT Lucky you ! always loved Austin as well.
Timothy Curry me too
Thanks Nanci for all the great music all these years. You have brought great joy to so many. May you rest in God's hands!
A true artist .RIP. Much underrated.
