One of the kindest people I've ever met in Nashville. It was a delightful surprise for me the night she came to one of my benefit guitar polls and sat in on a round that included singer-songwriters Don Henry and Skip Ewing. She was personally very kind to me and I've never forgotten that. May Her Memory Be Eternal! 😇😇😇 🙏🙏🙏
This song made me smile seeing Nanci perform it with Roseanne Cash and Mary Chapin Carpenter years back, but tonight I have tears in my throat and cannot hum a tune. She touched me down deep in the soul. Farewell "Mary Margaret" author...sure hope that spirit of yours is free, and soaring above the sky well beyond the light!
I only just found out she passed looking for her music to help me sleep and feel just this. Her music also touched me deeply and carried me through the highs and lows. Goodbye and thank you for such wonderful music.
@@MrDtJ1 The Kennedys, Pete and Maura did a beautiful celebration of her life's work this afternoon for about 1 1/2 hrs. I believe you can find it on You Tube under their weekly Sunday broadcasting as grounded until covid gets them back on the road. Absolutely beautiful. Stay Safe!
John was Nanci’s date to the senior prom. He dropped her off at her house after it was over and died in a motorcycle crash between her house and his. I understand she just met up with him again last week and went on another date in heaven.
She touched you with such heartfelt truth like no other! Amazing songwriter and artist! I saw her many times over here in England and are amongst my fav concerts! She will sadly missed!
I'm older, and I am a man, who was once a boy, of course. But this song gives me a lump in my throat, about MY childhood. Because it is so relateable and the melody and voices are so evocative. What a piece of art this is.
I'm 70 yr old...been a fan of this beautiful angel for decades.....if God is merciful (and he is) I'll meet her on the other side and finally get to tell her of my unending love.
Sad news I just heard today. She was always faithful to us here in Belfast at a time when nobody played here. She was a talented girl and always came across as a lovely person with a good heart.
I took care of performers backstage at Kerrville Folk Festival, Nancy was so very kind performed every year for years. She was special and so kind. It was a privilege to hear their music, Nancy Griffith, Bill Stains, Alan Damron, Guy Clark, Lyle Loveitt, Peter Paul & Mary, Odetta,Kate Wolf,………Happy Times🎶
I remember coming home from work late one night. I was flipping through the channels and the late night evangelists. I came across a broadcast of Austin City Limits with Nancy singing. I just could not turn it off. I was mesmerized....and always have been. She's the greatest talent that nobody I know, know about.
God Bless you Sharon for all you do! I recently lost my sister which held music close all her life. Nanci, if you could sing a song to my beloved sister Stephanie that be great! Rest in Peace. 🙏
"And when we die we say we'll catch some blackbird's wing and we will fly away to heaven - come some sweet bluebonnet spring..." Goodbye, dearest great and sweet Nanci (born July 6, 1953, Seguin, Texas, USA - died August 13, 2021), will you now look from heaven down to us...
Rest easy Nancy. 💔 This world just got a lot darker today. We're all far poorer now that you've left us, but you'll never be forgotten and your beautiful music will live on. RIP Nancy
one thing I have experienced a number of times, holding space as beings pass through their bodysuits to whatever mystery is next, is that the energy that is released into the world at that time is pure light....making the world a little brighter....her gift, her light will continue to light us on our paths my friend.....
@@integral.alchemy.psychotherapy yeah she's one of those artists too who has glory that is only just beginning, now. I miss her I wish we could have met
"Old songs need new voices singing them in new places to stay alive". From the liner notes of "Other Voices, Other Rooms" . Apparently this was said in a conversation between Nanci and Emmylou Harris about the songs of Kate Wolf, and upon hearing of Nanci's passing, it's now our responsibility to keep songs like this alive. Memory Eternal Nanci Griffith.
So sad that Nanci is gone from this world too young. I first heard Nanci on a compilation disc called "Steal This Disc" with the song "Once in a Blue Moon". I kept coming back to that song and when Other Voices came out, I was hooked. We saw her maybe 5 times over the years, my daughters really grew up with her. A beautiful person, wonderful voice and great songwriter. "When we lost John" always gets me. Hopefully, her and John and Mary Margaret are together again.
The first time i got to hear her she was on the college circuit it was the mid 70s What a beautiful voice been listening since. Her passing broke my heart.
I’m a Brit and only discovered Nanci about 6months ago and fell in love with her smile her voice and beauty. All those years before I now consider wasted. So shocked to hear the sad news. 😢😢
it was the UK and Ireland in particular that were her greatest supporters and probably kept her writing and recording over the years. Thankful for that.
I wrote her a personal letter around 1984. To my surprise, she replied with a short note on a card. I was so thrilled. Love her music and always will. She is a treasure and will be missed by so many she touched.
You said it. Must say thx for that. I could never have got through speaking or writing this same thought. "Strange, the land of tears." A quote from St. Exupêry's *The Little Prince.*. On this day March 2022, Mark (Arizona usa)
I beleive this Song is about Nanci's friend and also about her Boyfriend at High School. Her BF gave her a ride to the Prom on his Motorbike. He said he would pick her up later. Sadly on the way back he crashed and was killed. With all this and illness Nanci had a sad life. Hopefully now she is at peace. RIP Nanci Griffith xxx
Heart breaking....fly high with the white crown sparrow....a voice like no other... Have listened to that voice for so many years.....love and comfort to her family....she will be missed
I envy all of you who knew this wonderful human being and her special talent. I just discovered her today because of her death and am here with tears in my eyes listening to this song and mourning the loss of a person I have not known until now. What a tremendous loss for greatness and goodness in the world. I wish I had known you Nanci when you were still with us.🎸🎤🕯️🎶
Such a gift she had. A voice clear as a bell and a down home story teller with a gift to make the listener feel the depth of her tales. Heard her in LA years ago. A magical evening. Singing with the angels now. Beautiful soul.
I miss you Naci we listened to you in the car with my mom in Georgia but I never heard this song until today 💛 theres a light beyond these woods for you, I love you RIP 8-13-21
every time i see nanci griffith i end up in tears. one of my all time heros in music. i only hope to meet her once before i die. i am runing out of time but she still shines so bright for me.
To me too, Terry, Nanci comes straight to my heart, warms me and devastates me. And tears down her cheeks. I love Nanci, meeting her would be the most beautiful thing that could happen to me ... Nanci is a wonderful dream
What sad news to hear Nanci Griffith has died. I listened tonight, so many inspirational songs, it brought up many thoughts of the amazing concerts in Glasgow and Ireland. Your lyrics and music are 'food to the soul'. Rest in peace, and prayers for you, you'll never be forgotten with such a legacy and catalogue of sweet music.
The greatest story tellers in music. The 'Light beyond these wood' album was my introduction into Nanci's music. And I still remember buying the reacord from the Boots store 12 miles from where I lived. Like Steinbeck's Wayward Bus her songs always took you on a journey.
A Clever delightful lady who sang a lovely song straight from her heart❤️🎵👍 rip...This world was just a fleeting show for Nanci's illusion given❤️🎶🎵👍amen.
Thank you for memories of a far simpler life, when Austin was home and family. Now it's all hustle, bustle and strangers. Rest in peace. Time for another generation to find their simple times.
just seems too me that you would be able too sit down and talk for hours with her. she just seems so friendly. Rest In Peace Nanci. we will see you on the other side.
My college friends and I got nabbed by police at the bottom of the Mt. Bonnell steps, back in the early Nineties. They thought we were the ones setting off fireworks over the very fancy homes on the lake below. We weren’t, but we got cited for being in the park after 10 p.m. When we went to court, the judge was completely stunned to have 35 hardened park curfew ignore-ers in her courtroom. (That number included many others besides my friends.) She gave us all 4 hours of community service to be served in a park. And that’s my main memory of Mt. Bonnell. The view was stunning, too. Thank you, sweet Nanci, for bringing this back to me.
wow....we as a human race lost a beautiful soul with Nanci going to Heaven and she will truly be missed. The Angel Choir will be so much better now with Nanci. God Bless Her.
My first radio job was a Country station in Penticton BC, Canada in the early 90's. I wasn't a Country music fan at all. But, this station was one of the very rare cases where the on-air people got to pick what music they played. One of the acts that moved me the most was Nanci Griffith. When I first hear 'Love At The 5 & Dime' I thought 'Wow! There is some very good stuff here!' It's just the corporate media keep us ignorant of it. I'm sad at her passing as I didn't play her music as often as I should have on my Radio Bandcouver show on Co-op Radio. My show is very eclectic from Punk-Country, from Folk to Funk, to Psychedelia to electronica etc. Rest In Peace, Naci Griffith. Thank you for opening my eyes and ears to the GOOD Country music.
I first heard Nanci Griffith in 1988 when “Little Love Affairs” came out. It was playing overhead in Newbury Comics, a Boston based store more known for Alternative Rock than Country. By the time “Gulf Coast Highway” and the title song were done, I’d bought the CD; a first for any artist for me. After playing the album several times that night, I went out the next day and bought her entire Philo collection on sale at Lechmere! “Mary Margaret” moved me to tears the first time I heard it; so much innocence, sadness and beauty in one song. I saw her in concert several times; as wonderful as “One Fair Summer Evening”, still on my “Desert Island” list. She will be missed, RIP.
I don’t remember when I “found” Nanci, but it seems like forever and now she has died but she is alive in my mind and heart. Life is about what you leave behind, and Nanci left us with wonderful music and inspiration and memories. Well done.
We've lost so many great performers these past few years: Tom Petty, Jeff Beck, Tony Rice, John Prine, and so many others. I was crushed when John passed, but i don't think i'll ever get over Nanci's passing. 😢💔
Thank God for friends and especially childhood friends. How wonderful it would be to see Nanci in The Olympia in Dublin again. Listen to her songs and stories and sing along just like the true believers we are.
Saw her twice in Oregon back in the mid-90s. Loved her and her music long before that. Traveled many miles across this country at times with her songs keeping me company.
No one gives her the the credit she deserves as a guitarist. She’s incredible! In my opinion the most talented musician ever…..singer songwriter and instrumentalist, the complete package!
Her songs made me think, made me feel, brought me happiness and joy. She was an angel on earth and as she rests in peace, she will always be an angel. RIP your awesome song bird.
The world is a better place because Nanci Griddith lived here.
One of the kindest people I've ever met in Nashville. It was a delightful surprise for me the night she came to one of my benefit guitar polls and sat in on a round that included singer-songwriters Don Henry and Skip Ewing. She was personally very kind to me and I've never forgotten that.
May Her Memory Be Eternal!
😇😇😇
🙏🙏🙏
Such a loss.
Memory Eternal
Heartbreaking
Same. I drove her at Folk Festival in Canada. So incredibly sweet and kind.
What a precious memory. She seemed gentle like a kitten. What an honor to have been blessed with her and her talent.
This song made me smile seeing Nanci perform it with Roseanne Cash and Mary Chapin Carpenter years back, but tonight I have tears in my throat and cannot hum a tune. She touched me down deep in the soul. Farewell "Mary Margaret" author...sure hope that spirit of yours is free, and soaring above the sky well beyond the light!

this song always made me cry on a normal day. takes on new meaning now.
…. on blackbirds wings.
I agree. I am so sad.
John was Nanci’s date to the senior prom. He dropped her off at her house after it was over and died in a motorcycle crash between her house and his.
I understand she just met up with him again last week and went on another date in heaven.
...And they waltz in the aisle of the five and dime...
thats a lot to carry lifelong
True story?
She touched you with such heartfelt truth like no other! Amazing songwriter and artist! I saw her many times over here in England and are amongst my fav concerts! She will sadly missed!
@@MJ-wrty Yes.
I'm older, and I am a man, who was once a boy, of course. But this song gives me a lump in my throat, about MY childhood. Because it is so relateable and the melody and voices are so evocative. What a piece of art this is.
She’s a master storyteller blended with a sweet voice…
One of the most beautiful songs by the most beautiful singer and songwriter the world has known. Nanci, we wish you an eternal bluebonnet spring!
Beautiful person and brilliant performer.
I'm 70 yr old...been a fan of this beautiful angel for decades.....if God is merciful (and he is) I'll meet her on the other side and finally get to tell her of my unending love.
Sad news I just heard today. She was always faithful to us here in Belfast at a time when nobody played here. She was a talented girl and always came across as a lovely person with a good heart.
3/23/23 I just discovered her on Austin City Limits showing clips of her concerts over several decades, amazing music and gifted lady. 😢❤
Nanci NEVER recorded a bad album. . .Every cut was a polished gem…every one……..
I took care of performers backstage at Kerrville Folk Festival, Nancy was so very kind performed every year for years. She was special and so kind. It was a privilege to hear their music, Nancy Griffith, Bill Stains, Alan Damron, Guy Clark, Lyle Loveitt, Peter Paul & Mary, Odetta,Kate Wolf,………Happy Times🎶
What a great job! So jealous...
I remember coming home from work late one night. I was flipping through the channels and the late night evangelists. I came across a broadcast of Austin City Limits with Nancy singing. I just could not turn it off. I was mesmerized....and always have been. She's the greatest talent that nobody I know, know about.
Lovely , she is indeed a treasure .
What a lovely way to discover Nanci, she's an absolute angel and can't believe she's gone now x.
RIP wonderful sweet talented lady............:(
So much talent and almost no one knew her....she was so amazing...she should not be gone this soon...RIP sweet angel...:(
I going to miss her talent.
I still miss her. 🥲
I heard this as I was driving to work. It moved me to tears especially as a nurse during this pandemic. Such a beautiful voice.
She just passed away at 68 😓
This is one of favorite songs. Thank you for the work you do. It's really too much to ask.
Thank you for saving lives and seeing us through this
God Bless you Sharon for all you do! I recently lost my sister which held music close all her life. Nanci, if you could sing a song to my beloved sister Stephanie that be great! Rest in Peace. 🙏
"And when we die we say we'll catch some blackbird's wing and we will fly away to heaven - come some sweet bluebonnet spring..."
Goodbye, dearest great and sweet Nanci (born July 6, 1953, Seguin, Texas, USA - died August 13, 2021), will you now look from heaven down to us...
One of the most beautiful and talented people in the world. I hope to meet her again, someday!
I live 2 miles from Mount Bonnell in Austin. I go there often to think, and every time I top all those steps, I think of this song...
Rest easy Nancy. 💔 This world just got a lot darker today. We're all far poorer now that you've left us, but you'll never be forgotten and your beautiful music will live on. RIP Nancy

We named our first daughter after this song ….R.I.P. Nanci….😪🌹🌹

Her voice. Has moved me to tears for 30+ years xxxx
I'm with you
I'm with y'all 🌎✌💜😄
Yep
Me, too. Haiku for that Texas girl:
Cracked my heart open
The first time I heard her sing
Still does, every time

She was so big in Ireland! She loved it there. And they loved her back!
She is missed!
My favorite song from her is "It's a Hard Life"
I just got the news day of this sweet angel passing,I am saddened deeply,thank you Nancy for all your music
Rest In Peace Ms. Nanci. I'll always love you.
My throat burns with suppressed tears right now. I can’t sing. It’s too sweet . I miss her already.
Same
This song always drives me to tears. Lauren and I were close friends when I lost her in ‘91. Will never get over that loss.
We will miss you so very much, Nanci. Thank you for the music
There’s a light beyond these woods, Nanci…RIP…
I would have loved to have met this gentle soul...i was turned on to her in the early '90's and never let go
I wrote her a personal letter around 1984. To my surprise, she replied with a short note on a card. I was so thrilled. Love her music and always will. She is a treasure and will be missed by so many she touched.
hearing the news today, this was the song I had to hear... thanks for the songs, Nanci
So sad to hear of this sweet angel's passing. RIP Nancy.
I still love you Nanci Caroline Griffith.
This was a tough one to get through today, 8/13/21. Now and forevermore in the ultimate eternal Light beyond These Woods... #NanciGriffith ✨

When you're ten-years-old you are real friends - and then you grow up.

She was beautiful and talented at a time in an America that has passed into history.
I know you have finally found a measure of peace Nanci. God bless you and thank for all the beautiful melodies. Forever in my soul….
Reunited with John - RIP Nanci - bless you
What sad news to hear Nanci Griffith has died. I listened tonight, so many inspirational songs, it brought up many thoughts of the amazing concerts in Glasgow and Ireland. Your lyrics and music are 'food to the soul'. Rest in peace, and prayers for you, you'll never be forgotten with such a legacy and catalogue of sweet music.
She perfectly captures both the innocence and hope of youth. Xx
Oh God Nanci you were such a wonderful poet! So beautiful and young here…I can’t believe you are dead…
The greatest story tellers in music. The 'Light beyond these wood' album was my introduction into Nanci's music. And I still remember buying the reacord from the Boots store 12 miles from where I lived. Like Steinbeck's Wayward Bus her songs always took you on a journey.
I think I was 13 when I heard this beautiful song, my God its so beautiful still makes me cry. Love you Nancy you are a legend.
She's caught a blackbird's wing. Look out for the blue bonnets next spring.
Will I ever be able to listen to Nanci and not cry profusely? It's such incredibly beautiful, incredibly touching music. Such a blessing...
I’m wondering the same thing. Hasn’t happened yet.
A Clever delightful lady who sang a lovely song straight from her heart❤️🎵👍 rip...This world was just a fleeting show for Nanci's illusion given❤️🎶🎵👍amen.
Thank you for memories of a far simpler life, when Austin was home and family. Now it's all hustle, bustle and strangers.
Rest in peace. Time for another generation to find their simple times.
Now you are seeing the light beyond the woods...Godspeed Nanci & bless you for all you left us with. Fly high...peace & 💘
Rest In Eternal Peace Sweet Lady. You will be fondly remembered.
What a lovely person.
there's a light beyond those clouds, Mary Margaret...shine on, Nanci, shine on!
She was such a beauty…long live Nanci
Such a loss to the world. Supremely talented yet humble.
Nice to see her playing a Martin, normally a Taylor I believe. Lovely song. RIP lass.
I will always miss you Nanci Caroline Griffith, ❤️🙏🏻😢
She will live on in each of us. peace be upon her
I have been in love with this woman for decades.
I never heard much about her till her death . Better late than never i guess. Her talent, grace and beauty really struck my heart . Wonderful.
Makes me think of my old friends, out there somewhere
She put it down in words, may their friendship last forever.
Ein wunderbares Lied, eine tolle Stimme nur schade das sie nicht mehr ist.
just when the memories have started to fade a bit she breaks my heart again…
She well and truly stood me still and she always will…
Oh no, another treasure, gone. At least we have her music, she lives on.
I fell in love with you”so long ago” you were a gift to this world. Your in my heart forever
What a great writer and born to shine.
Excruciatingly beautiful
just seems too me that you would be able too sit down and talk for hours with her. she just seems so friendly. Rest In Peace Nanci. we will see you on the other side.
My college friends and I got nabbed by police at the bottom of the Mt. Bonnell steps, back in the early Nineties. They thought we were the ones setting off fireworks over the very fancy homes on the lake below. We weren’t, but we got cited for being in the park after 10 p.m. When we went to court, the judge was completely stunned to have 35 hardened park curfew ignore-ers in her courtroom. (That number included many others besides my friends.) She gave us all 4 hours of community service to be served in a park. And that’s my main memory of Mt. Bonnell. The view was stunning, too. Thank you, sweet Nanci, for bringing this back to me.
wow....we as a human race lost a beautiful soul with Nanci going to Heaven and she will truly be missed. The Angel Choir will be so much better now with Nanci. God Bless Her.

Beautiful Lifetime Friendship, Her Happiness & Sadness, Long May She Sing
I’m from England and only discovered Nanci about six months ago - I feel cheated missing so many years when I could have been listening to her.
😢💔 Ill always love you Nanci. Rest easy girl
I sure miss this sweet special spirit.
Gosh, I surely going to miss you Miss Nancy...
I first heard Nanci Griffith in 1988 when “Little Love Affairs” came out. It was playing overhead in Newbury Comics, a Boston based store more known for Alternative Rock than Country.

This really hits home today with so many souls deciding to move on to another plane. Seize the day and Godspeed all!
Seize the moral high-ground with ethical superiority.
I was so in love with her back in the late 80s.
MeToo
I still am.
Still
Nanci will always be the light beyond these woods.
I don’t remember when I “found” Nanci, but it seems like forever and now she has died but she is alive in my mind and heart. Life is about what you leave behind, and Nanci left us with wonderful music and inspiration and memories. Well done.
I just kinda found her , now at 56. duh
TIH.. Thrive in Heaven. Sweet women.
We've lost so many great performers these past few years: Tom Petty, Jeff Beck, Tony Rice, John Prine, and so many others. I was crushed when John passed, but i don't think i'll ever get over Nanci's passing. 😢💔

No one gives her the the credit she deserves as a guitarist. She’s incredible! In my opinion the most talented musician ever…..singer songwriter and instrumentalist, the complete package!
It's just those little intro's to songs that will always endear her to my heart, how the song came about, will always be special
Nanci Griffith RIP
What a fantastic talent she was. I adored her. Her imagery is astounding.
Reminds me of Please Come to Dallas. . . . One of those voices that moves through you.
Her songs made me think, made me feel, brought me happiness and joy. She was an angel on earth and as she rests in peace, she will always be an angel. RIP your awesome song bird.
RIP sweet Nanci. We've lost a true spirit and a gift to us all.
