- Patty Griffin's Song "Forgiveness" (Album "Living with Ghosts", 1996)
Lyrics:
We are swimming with the snakes
At the bottom of the well
So silent and peaceful in the darkness where we fell
But we are not snakes and whats more
We never will be
And if we stay swimming here forever we will
Never be free
I heard them ringing the bells
In heaven and hell
They got a secret
Theyre getting ready to tell
Its falling from the sky
Calling from the graves
Open your eyes, boy, I think we are saved
Open your eyes, boy, I think we are saved
Lets take a walk on the bridge
Right over this mess
Dont need to tell me a thing, baby
Weve already confessed
And I raised my voice to the air
And we were blessed
Everybody needs a little forgiveness
Everybody needs a little forgiveness
We are calling for him tonight on this
Thin phone line
As usual were having ourselves one
Hell of a time
And the planes keep flying right over our heads
No matter how lond we shout
Hey, hey, hey !
And we keep waving and waving
Our arms in the air
But were all tired out
I heard somebody say
Todays the day
A big old hurricaine
Is blowing our way
Knocking over the buildings
Killing all the light
Open your eyes, boy, we made it through the night
Open your eyes, boy, we made it through the night
Lets take a walk on the bridge
Right over this mess
Dont need to tell me a thing, baby
Weve already confessed
And I raised my voice to the air
And we were blessed
Everybody needs a little forgiveness
Everybody needs a little forgiveness
This is by far her most heart-felt song, and that's saying a lot for Patty.
Her best effort ever! "We are swimming with snakes at the bottom of the well" Ain't it the truth?
i just had to hear this song tonight.. Patty.. this is the most brilliant song and vocal ever... still makes me cry. thank you for this song a million times
I had the pleasure of working with this incredible talent in the late 90's. She gave me a copy of this album and I treasure it to this day. It has gotten me through so much and always conjures memories, good and bad, when I need to visit them. She is a treasure, a rare person who can touch your soul with her voice and words.
Same here. I lived in Austin Texas when she was only known in that city. Her music lifted me up. Cheers.
She has got me through some rough times, we share the same birthday, love her lyrics. Hit me harder than any other artist. She is my Muse.
she was ours in Boston first
You are the luckiest person in the whole world. Yessiree, I would like to steal the album but then again it's Blessed. She is beyond anything I've heard before.(01072019mon)
Caught Patty in Boston in the late 90's...City Hall... She was a unknown opening act....This tiny peanut belted out most of the first album....She brought me to tears.
as an atheist,the only moments I Believe in God is when I HEAR THIS BEAUTIFUL VOICE
It's hard to give, it's hard to get, but everybody needs a little forgiveness.
I am very surprised that this song is not available on spotify. It's sad.
She is so darn good.
My beautiful son is battling some serious issues. I have sobbed and sobbed, listening to this song and that beautiful voice. At the end of the day, it has given me hope-- not just for me, but for my 19 year old (always my baby)... Thank you
Is he ok now?
Our hearts go out to you and your baby. God bless and keep both of you.
I am so sorry for your heart ache and his pain. I don't think it's worth much but I am crying with you two years later.
You Welcome
i cannot believe that she isnt recognized more. this song is amazing.
Thanks
Deeper than the sea, stronger than the wind: that's what I'm thinkin of, listening to this angel singing out loud.
+Valentina Sacco so evocative
Reminds me of a soul going to heaven.
+K Moss Beautifully said
+K Moss wonderfully said. yes...
One of the most heartfelt underrated singers
patti -thank you - you are our medicine
Love these lyrics-It's hard to give, hard to get, but we all need a little forgiveness. So true!
Soul traveling to another dimension!!!!! Hallelujah
Unreal emotion and power.
Patty Griffin is absolutely my favorite artist. I can listen to her voice forever and her songs always have a story.
Thanks
I Appreciate
Only recently discovered her thanks to a Dixie Chicks concert and Natalie Maines mentioning her. This is the good stuff.
This song popped up on my computer screen and started playing out of the blue a couple of weeks ago. I believe this to be my soul speaking through Patty. God bless Patty Griffin and God bless all of us. Thank you. *bowing in homage*
❤️❤️
As good as music gets.
She is extremely talented..
Can't believe I didn't hear about here until now! Wonderful!
What a way to start the new year 2021 Thank You and Happy New Year Patty Griffin.......
Forgiveness and love is all we need at times💕😇
Thank you CSI:Miami!😁
❤🙏🏻
People are totally sleeping on this magnificent artist. People do not venture out in their music, they miss alot. I am so glad that she sticks to folk.
Thanks
"THE TIME IS NOW" CSI MIAMI.😭🥺🧡🙏🏻
❤🙏🏻
Happy Birthday Patty!
This song her voice and heart she puts out resonates so loudly in this thing we call life. The journey has been something and this stops me every time i hear it. It is my go to when I need to belt out the pain inside that needs addressing. Thank you Patty so many of us are calling for hell tonight and we get thru it all the same. Forgiveness is all we have left to heal that which wounds us so deeply. Yes we were blessed to have been able to hear this song and start our healing.
@@ so beautyful, my ears are hugging me now.
Most great songwriting comes from pain. I can feel hers every time I hear her music. Catharsis is a good thing.
God bless you
May our hearts and eyes be open ! ! ! I'am a fan from now on . I feel your heart in your music Patty Griffin and I love you.
Thanks 💘💘

This is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard....... Namaste, Michelle Carr
Love this.
Beautiful 1⃣
Sos hermosa Patty!!! Te amo!!!
I first heard this song just after Hurricane Katrina. I was amazed how the lyrics reflected their experience during and after the storm. This song has a special place in my heart and will always remind me of Jenn.
basecamp11 Wow! I only heard of the song within the last few years and just assumed that is what it was about, because it seemed so obviously to be a statement about it. Am I alone here in thinking that Patty Griffin can sing into the future somehow?
+Robert Alexander she's always calling us from the future through the past
Love her music, love this album!!
Thanks
Forgive me buddy, should've been there more for you. Was too young and naive.. love u always Leko...RIP 🌹
Nick Yarris story brought me here it seems reading the coments its the same for alot of people
If your reading this Patty I would like to hear you sing a song as dedication a gesture of recognition to Nick for not only introducing us to your beautiful voice but for the inspiration Nick has been to people ❤
to smell the rain and feel blessed even when you cant see it or feel it
wow
❤️❤️
Thank you wirklicheitsskizze,for uploading this great song by this great artist.
I went through a terrible experience with my family. I was my granny's executor. I had a aunt and two uncles who tried to steal a vulnerable uncle's inheritance. They were complete snakes. This song takes me back to all of that, the struggle to help my uncle while safeguarding Granny's estate. I don't know how to thank patty for giving me a little strength to do the right thing for my poor, little uncle.
❤️❤️
patty griffin, are you the actual Patty Griffin?
Thanks to Fr. John Devaney on Art and Justice. The topic was the Lampedusa Concert tour with the Jesuit Refugee Service. I had to hear Patty Griffin after it was mentioned she wrote a song called "Mary"...it is transcendent...and so my search led me to other songs. Now a fan of Patty Griffin. Thank you for sharing God's gift to you with us!
im and atheist and i love this song
touches so many emotions in so many ways
I imagine that this is how angels would sing....which may be enough to make me change my ways....damn, I love her voice
Thanks 💘
@@pattygriffin3232, somehow a "thumbs up" seems to be a rather underwhelming reply when one of your favorite artists has replied to a comment of yours. Hope you are well Patty & so look forward to seeing you perform again, post COVID.
@@TheBham54 Yeah
Am Doing Fine...
I Can See You Are A True Fan Of Mine...
How Long Have You Been Following Me??
god forgive me for my sins and mistakes
You forgive you.
I love artists like Tracey Chapman and I have now discovered a new female, folk singer to add to my wonderful collection.
Thanks
❤️ This 1.

I just woke up and the tv was on and Ed the tv show was on and I heard this and was mesmerized ....after a brief search I found out that it was Ed season one episode 17 and this is what I found ...... WOW!!!!!!!
Thanks
Has this song inspired anyone to extend forgiveness to a person who has hurt you? Please share your story.
she has an amazing voice!! love her!
Thanks
@@pattygriffin3232 I recently discovered Patty Griffin. Amazing! Her poetical songs and voice of many soulful dimensions, at once a weary lady traveller, a childlike quality, and new born baby’s cry, I venture to say Patty is one of the greats. Every time I hear her tunes and voices I know what stunning is. Chance of Langton
@@chancelangton1991 Wow
Am so much Happy to Hear that from you..
And please don't stop Loving and Supporting Me
💓
🙏🏻❤️
really good
FORGIVENESS IS NOT A GOOD AS FIVEGIVENESS !
Wow cool compliment someone last night told me I sound like this talented singer... Big smiles=}
Never listened to before ..
+Jeordie Schekeryk They were high , don't pay attention to them ;-)
This CD is so good its unreal, I have been on a PR campaign to get everyone to buy this
I have some of her music but not this. Just purchased. So incredibly beautiful 💕
❤🙏🏻
(cont.) ... the worst part of the situation: the falling out itself (Hurricane). So they should just make up as this hatred goes nowhere ("Let's take a walk over the bridge, right over this mess). This is my short analysis of the lyrics but there might be a different explanation to it! That is the beauty of it! She uses synonyms, metaphors and symbols as that is how one situation or feeling can be expressed in art! And this IS art!
Day Of The Total Eclipse - Post Event - Dear Patty, I think I took your picture once at Starbucks in Austin without your permission. It's still in my blog set to private so it's a treasure. It means a lot for me to hear this song from you on thus auspicious day of new light and hope. I love you. God bless you forever. Peace
Everybody need's a little forgiveness....
am fillin kinda down bt this song is slowly liftin me up
💛
Love
❤️
Reminds me of sorrow .
Oh man/woman--I like this SO much better than "Rain," the suggestion that brought me for the first time to this artist. Thank goodness I took the chance to click on this piece--phenomenal! I suggest that this piece be used instead of Rain to recommend to others in oreder to introduce her to others who may not know of her. For instance, I don't watch TV, so I haven't had the exposure to new singer/songwriters that so many people have.
this song is so haunting to me as I see it as a spiritual precognition of katrina - if you listen she is telling us what is coming and even shee doesn't know - after all, that is how spirit works. eeerily real in past tense amazingly beautiful and true always. she is a real gift to us all.
Thanks
thumbs up if nothing brought you here exept your own great tase in music
well ya know i got a well, and ive seen those snakes mate, all coiling atop eachother. Never snakes, no we copulte differently. Here, free/ home sweet sky falling where Grandpa died and we made easter poems cause thats the day. There' confessed. I feel so blessed. Patti Griffin you so awesomeness in my world when you entered via saul williams. A cousin Lorraine I have called for help ya know. Vegetable farmers. Hey. Why not? Isnt it what most people want? To go back home? To have a belly full. All tired out the work making that makes you. Sleep good. Tornados too blow. Forgiveness.......
❤️❤️
To whom it may concern:
After enjoying this post I went directly to Amazon and bought the album.
Thanks
@@pattygriffin3232 Hope you and yours are well. Merry Christmas
@@TonyWud
Yeah..
We are Good...
And Don't Stop Supporting us
@InTheCity3D true. she's not famous here in europe but i had chance to know her by buddy miller .
i hope she'll have the success she deserves here too.
fantastic voice
You gotta be careful , you might just love this singer songwriter
Song makes m think of someone... And i dont forgive people..
gorgoues.
As always it comes from individual memories that she experienced so we don't know what exactly she means but as I gather it: this is about her relationship with someone who she had a row or a falling out with and now they don't talk. They are swimming with the snakes as the snakes symbolise their anger that comes out in poisonous (get the snake reference?) relationship now which manifests in arguments now. How to get away from this situation? The answer is forgiveness as they are through...
@wirklichkeitsskizze I never heard of PG until seeing a UA-camr do a cover and finding many beautiful PG recordings here and now am a big PG fan, buying her albums and hoping to see her in concert someday.
You are always welcome
