Sad that I have lived 54 years of my life without ever having heard of Patty Griffin. Thank you Melissa Etheridge. I found this while chasing Melissa duets on UA-cam.
Carol, Patty is an undiscovered gem for many people (unfortunately). I saw her on Sessions at West 54 decades ago and was totally enthralled for years. My channel has a number of very early performances, so feel free to poke around and see what interests you.
My husband is in the middle of a severe bout of depression after literal years of him battling it. It's felt like we are just a breath away from the breaking point in these past few days, and then I stumble across this song for the first time on Monday. Hearing someone else say what's rattling around in my heart and head gives me enough strength to keep hanging on.
Melissa is 100% correct. I was in the hospital after a life altering surgery. I spent 47 days in the hospital and 7 days in ICU. The very first thing I wanted to hear as soon as I was able to listen after coming out of a coma was music throughout my entire stay in the hospital❤. That's all I wanted to hear was music❤. So I had my daughter bring me my little phone and I put it next to my ear and I would listen to my music. I firmly believe it is the ultimate healing after God.🕊️🙏🕊️ God first🙏 music second,,,,,,, 5:23 no doubt about it. Melissa, thank you for sharing❤
Two talented artists. They sing from the heart. Who would've thought that Patty would have got sick with cancer too. That's great that both of them are healthy now.
The lyric,” you’re out there walking down the highway and all of the signs got blown away, sometimes you wonder if you’re walking in the wrong direction”. That lyric so resonates with me. The last three years have been some of the most turbulent, scary years of my life. There have been so many days where I just told myself put one foot in front of the other and hoped to god I am going in the right direction. 💜🙏💜
If you dont know patty griffin then you have missed out. She's been there and stayed. She's been as down as it gets. And she sang about it. Her first albums are intense and life affirming.
Melissa You helped me through my chemo!!! Loved you since day 1. Been to many of your concerts and you just light up the whole world!! Thank you God Bless you!! And hey Thanks! ❤
Whenever I have to go to the hospital - and that happens quite often, I listen to my favorite music. For hours and days, and weeks and months… It helps me to pull through all that pain and agony. Music is a very strong force indeed, dear Melissa. Specially yours is … ❤️
I have watched this 20 times over the years and it still gives me chills PG is awesome and my vote for Most Beautiful Song and the heart and soul Melissa puts into it just makes me shiver
I have seen Melissa Etheridge in concert so many times. Each concert was more intense than the one before. She is truly amazing. Being a Gemini woman I get her PASSION. Thank you Melissa for sharing your wonderful gift. Peace and happiness always. God's Blessings
From an older Irsh woman who loves your philosophy never mind your music ...I say , thank you for daring to be divinely human dear woman , dear Melissa 💐🙏
Melissa is one of my biggest heroes. Our country needs a hero right now. The government has no clue what life is really all about. Melissa knows! K. D. Lang knows...another hero of mine. I am a straight, married woman and to me, it would not matter if these heroes were....straight, gay, white, black, man or woman....they would still make me cry because of their music, their conviction, and because they flat out GET IT. God help our country now! We need a HERO!!!....I just noticed this is signed on by my son's name, Clint. That's OK cuz I am sure Clint would give me a huge thumbs up for posting this. :-)
Two beautiful singers..so happy I found this ...Patti has always been one of my folk icons and Melissa has well. love the duet.. Much love Patti and Melissa!
Two amazing voices together...just beautiful. My Mum died of lung cancer in 86 and she's been guiding me ever since! We were incredibly close. Love you Mumxxxx
Glad to hear. I debated how to present this and thought about focussing on the music but eventually realized that the context was as important as the song.
Love this song unbelievable performance lyrics that touch your heart and soul. I'm typing this from my hometown, Derry Northern Ireland 🇮🇪 0:09 x⚘️🌎💪🙏❤️👏
I’ve been there Melissa I have done almost 6 full yrs of chemo I have lupus and now diagnosed with ms . You have done beautifully and music does get you through it … music made me calm thank you for your gift xoxox
recognitions from other huge singer sonwriters is the best kind. patty should be a household name. this is my favourite song. if i had to pick a favorite. her first few albums could make an old hells angel biker cry.
This song reminds me of my dad, who passed away 20 years ago from cancer. My mom would tell me stories of being stranded and calling and my dad would ride out and get her, even in his sick and weakened state. God bless my dad and mom, Patti for writing this song and Melissa for making it important and relevant and supplying passion to it.
When I paddled from Key Largo to Canada to raise money money and awareness for breast cancer in '96 I saw Melissa play in Portland Maine. I had no idea she fought the fight. Perhaps it was after that. Give give give to your local orgs to help women protect their assets and get any kind of support they need!
Sitting with tears....tears for my sister Christine, ...so grateful her time of pain is over....(sure am glad she chose to incarnate into the family I too was born into)...but damn I miss her. This song always made my cry before she contracted with the cancer....now it just rips me open, shreds my heart from the inside out, tears bleeding from my eyes. Fuck.
Let's talk about Patty...t'was a year ago I saw her in Savannah...she's had things too...as have I since...nothing worth doing comes easy..anyway, what a beautiful and powerful song! If ever, one wonders, play this as many times in a row as needed...it does wonders...Bliss!
Thank you so much ❤️💯 I listen to Mind Body Spirit physical condition music is my medicine for physical pain 😣 it helps me stay in a positive mine 🙏❤️ with a positive mind I can do 😊 must move forward and never quit
Beautiful song I’ve loved for quite a while along with many of Patty’s other songs. I had a list of incredible music when I was going through my battle with cancer as well. Heavenly Day and Nobody’s Cryin’ were on that list. Listening to this just after Patty’s latest, self-titled album has won the Grammy for Best Folk Album 2019. Congratulations, Patty, and thanks for all the music.
Love the short hair. After listening to this, I did alot of bio studies on Melissa. A remarkable and talented artist. Glad you pulled through. I listen to Patty when I need to turn off the noise around me.
Omg...how horribly heart~wrenching!!! ...and when will, the WILL stop being so harshly tested?? Loads of Love, light and energy thru thoughts and prayer being sent her way. And a most gracious THANK YOU too Chicka, for all you do that helps to get US thru! 💞✌🙏
Chemo and the power of music. Melissa 10 years cancer free! I believe you are real brave when you take chemo. Hopefully I will never have to make that decision because I am not that brave.
My mom chose chemo. Unfortunately it didnt work. Personally I think she was already to weak to live through the chemo. She wanted to live longer for my two sisters and me. I feel she would have made it longer without the chemo. I miss her so much. Yesterday was our 7th Christmas without her. I dont understand and probably never will why it didnt help her. My heart is just as broken today as it was the day she left.
If you’re ever having a tough day, put on a Patty Griffin tune and let your heavy heart be unburdened.
Sad that I have lived 54 years of my life without ever having heard of Patty Griffin.
Thank you Melissa Etheridge. I found this while chasing Melissa duets on UA-cam.

Oh I am so excited for you to get to experience all her wonderful music now. She has so many amazing songs.
57 years for me.
Hey Carol, check out Patty’s “Burgundy Shoes” another brilliant composition!
My husband is in the middle of a severe bout of depression after literal years of him battling it. It's felt like we are just a breath away from the breaking point in these past few days, and then I stumble across this song for the first time on Monday.

Sending peace and light. Hoping that this beautiful, heartfelt song was able to encourage and sustain you through rough waters.
Bless your heart and your family ❤️
You are doing great! No husband, but I know how you feel. Everyone deserves love❤️
I watch this video every so often and it never fails to inspire me. Patty Griffin is one of our true songwriting treasures.
Patty Griffin, one of the greatest song writers of all time!
She’s MAGIC 😍
@@EduardoGarcia-qe8st coupled with her unique and soothing voice
And this is one of her greatest songs.
You said it!

Just heard the news that Patty is battling breast cancer. Keeping her in our prayers ...
Today's news is that she won that battle and is releasing a new album.

@@brucerighter5539 Such good news that Patty is healthy and let's pray she has no setbacks going forward. Thoughts and prayers go out to Patty ...
Love Patty Griffin, a national treasure! Came here for her. Beautiful duet.
Red lights are flashing on the highway
I wonder if we're gonna ever get home
I wonder if we're gonna ever get home tonight
Everywhere the waters getting rough
Your best intentions may not be enough
I wonder if we're gonna ever get home tonight
But if you break down
I'll drive out and find you
If you forget my love
I'll try to remind you
And stay by you when it don't come easy
I don't know nothing except change will come
Year after year what we do is undone
Time keeps moving from a crawl to a run
I wonder if we're gonna ever get home
You're out there walking down a highway
And all of the signs got blown away
Sometimes you wonder if you're walking in the wrong direction
But if you break down
I'll drive out and find you
If you forget my love
I'll try to remind you
And stay by you when it don't come easy
So many things that I had before
That don't matter to me now
Tonight I cry for the love that I've lost
And the love I've never found
When the last bird falls
And the last siren sounds
Someone will say what's been said before
Its only love we were looking for
But if you break down
I'll drive out and find you
If you forget my love
I'll try to remind you
And stay by you when it don't come easy

When It Don't Come Easy lyrics © Universal Music Publishing Group
Sometimes some day comes in a bad way. Here's to all of our loses just the same. Some days we can't drive out to find them because they are gone.
The world of music is better because of Melissa Etheridge ...
Patty Griffin music should be gifted to the human race upon birth...
This song reminds me of my dad, who passed away 20 years ago from cancer. My mom would tell me stories of being stranded and calling and my dad would ride out and get her, even in his sick and weakened state. God bless my dad and mom, Patti for writing this song and Melissa for making it important and relevant and supplying passion to it.
God bless them
This is a wonderful tribute to folk music. The legends passing their truth to the future.
Stunning
God gives his hardest battles to his strongest warriors ... thank you w/love!
Melissa is a force to be reckoned with....powerful beautiful and magnificently talented....she is a superstar of gigantic proportions\
An amazing song. Touches the heartstrings like no other. Unconditional love.
When I paddled from Key Largo to Canada to raise money money and awareness for breast cancer in '96 I saw Melissa play in Portland Maine. I had no idea she fought the fight. Perhaps it was after that. Give give give to your local orgs to help women protect their assets and get any kind of support they need!
one of the most heartfelt songs Ive ever heard!!!
Wow, that really did my heart good. Two artists extraordinaire, on this beloved (classic, exquisite Patty) song. Forever grateful to you both.
Unbelievable talent from two beautiful Ladies!!
Tremendous song. At the top of my playlist!
Sitting with tears....tears for my sister Christine, ...so grateful her time of pain is over....(sure am glad she chose to incarnate into the family I too was born into)...but damn I miss her. This song always made my cry before she contracted with the cancer....now it just rips me open, shreds my heart from the inside out, tears bleeding from my eyes. Fuck.
moonlitme so sorry honey ❤️
Blessings to you sweet one 💜
Yes fuck!!!
The one who was loved will never be forgotten. She is at a better place for sure. We as the living have no idea what is waiting for us, no idea.
Moonlitme,you’ll be reunited with her,enjoy every day until that beautiful time
First time seeing this...so much respect for this woman. Been a fan since '89...seen her 20+ times...she never ceases to amaze me.
LOVE this you're the kind of love we read about in a fairy tale --- the spinners !!!!

Today she lost her 21 year old son to addiction. This song hits home so much knowing how much she is suffering.
