  • Patty & Melissa did this song at Melissa's request on the special dealing with breast cancer. I've included Melissa's intro to the song so you'll know why it's so meaningful to her.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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. 💜🙏💜

    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.

    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. :-)

    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.

      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.
