The world has a terrible lump in its throat this day and tears in eyes learning that Nanci Caroline Griffith has 'gone home'. We were blessed by her gracious presence, kindness and talent. Sure hope her spirit is soaring to freer and lighter heights. Gone but not ever forgotten.
@@PNdebt-hc2tg yes, her awareness at this age was what I could always relate to as well. She was one to collaborate with so many over the years, and always acknowledge the works of others and inspirations on her life and work. We can learn a thing or two from her time on earth for sure.
Our family would sit round the kitchen table and sing her songs when the children were younger. Kind, gentle, and so generous with her talent. God, we need more like Nanci now.
This song always touched me too Nanci Caroline Griffiths. The world was never the same the first time I heard you sing it and yesterday I felt so sad when I heard you gained your wings. I had to listen to it hours later in the darkness. Rest in peace Nanci, thank you for all the beautuful songs and your beautiful existence. 😢⚘
Townes wrote this gem, many sang and still sings it. Nanci simply mastered it. Having sung the song probably hundreds or many more times, she still felt each and every word ...
"It's not the way you'll say you'll hear my heart when the music ends No... I am just learning how to fly away again..." Nanci Griffiths Late Night Grande Hotel
Such a shame that she’s gone, I imagine, as Shakespeare said, that flights of angels sang her to her rest. Thank goodness that we can still hear her voice and shed a tear for her. Farewell, Nanci, from a fellow Texan, this ain’t goodbye, just so long.
Nanci Griffith is still coming up on my UA-cam feeds and Im just as gutted as the night I found out that she died. Her music meant the world to me at one time...
The late Townes Van Zandt had an uncanny knack for writing some of the simplest, yet most beautiful songs. The late Nanci Griffith had the same gift when it came to delivering a song. All I can add is, "Wow!" Fred
How much grace, how much sweetness...how much beauty...There are so many songs that you listen to 100 times and how they come in, they come out, and then there are pearls of songs like this that you listen to once, they go in and they don't go away anymore...This was absolutely the first song I heard from Nanci. She's totally into the song .. It's Impossible not to love this artist, that I see on stage, not to love all her grace, her sweetness and her honesty... Nanci has an extreme sensitivity.I hope that those Norwegians have perceived what gift had happened to them .. I think this song is very special for Nanci. Grazie Nanci Caroline, Thanks a lot. Love❤️
A wonderful versions of this song. Nancy ....a precious flower, an angel of beautiful song, a brilliant woman. So much to Love in a person. She captured my heart.
I just discovered Nanci Griffith two days ago. I spent my life knowing nothing about her, and I have been listening to her daily. This is the first video I've seen of her, and her face is as beautiful as her soul.
What a superb rendition of a great song. Seen Nancy several times many years ago in Glasgow such a great performer, but this version is just beautiful.
Nance & Eric played Sundays at the Hole In The Wall in Austin. George Ensle & the guys & I played Mondays. Eric & Nanci stayed & George & Trish's on weekends they were playing. We used to sit around, picking & talking music & writing, late into the night. She had a strong, almost piercing, voice, which I advised that she cultivate

World feels a little poorer without her 💔😢
At .38 seconds she acknowledges the power of the lyrics on her at 12 then goes on to write the same for others...Too soon gone...
@@duncsmith4677 perhaps at the same time, richer for having her grace our lives with her talent, words and gentle disposition. Stay safe!

You hit that nail right on the head

I know and townes was gentile too.

Rest In Peace Texas Songbird. Nanci, you will be missed!
If I were President, I would give Nanci a Kennedy Centers Honors for Lifetime Achievement.
Leaving current politics out of it, I agree with your sentiment. She deserves to be there.
I was going to do things today, i can't now. Shattered and in pieces, rest in peace Nanci.
understand.
Nanci is a beautiful light in this sometimes dark world.
Farewell to Nanci Griffith, may she rest in peace. Her songs were a beautiful gift to us all!
I still can't believe she's gone. It's so sad. She was one of the all-time great Texas singer songwriters.
Nanci Griffith sure did Townes Van Zandt proud. Saddest song ever, bar none. Thank you Nanci.
even more than tvz's marie?
@@faithful827 Who's to say, Nanci is fantastic an Townes as the writer. Did he do a bad song?
@@321minder not at all ... i just suggested that "marie" might edge this one in the sad category
ua-cam.com/video/fCWtI2D7jCc/v-deo.html
@@faithful827 Waiting Around to Die ain't exactly a happy upbeat tune, either. Great songwriter he was.
@@themistermax well, there's one or two or 20 or 30 more that kinda creep into the category...like you said... great songwriter indeed
Oh , Nancy . God bless your mighty soul . The angels have met their match . Rest easy beloved darling woman .
❤️
That woman could shine a light of humanity into the darkest night snd guide any of us who need it safely back to shore.
RIP Nanci you will be forever missed but not forgotten.
Wow I love her songs not knowing her from the beginning, time moves to fast 68 is to soon Peacefulness
Townes wrote this gem, many sang and still sings it.
Nanci simply mastered it.
Having sung the song probably hundreds or many more times,
she still felt each and every word ...
RIP Gentle soul. you enhanced my life I am grateful.
Amen, her music and life were beautiful gifts for the world
"It's not the way you'll say you'll hear my heart when the music ends
No... I am just learning how to fly away again..."
Nanci Griffiths Late Night Grande Hotel
Always impressed how she could create an orchestra with her right hand, chords in left hand and voice of Angel singing above it
This one ALWAYS gets to me. I think it always gets to Nanci as well. You can see it in her eyes!
I don't think this song can be sung any better.
I loved Townes. But this song was never more pure than when Nanci sang it.
Townes Van Zandt himself said that Nanci performed "Tecumseh Valley" better than anyone!
Such a shame that she’s gone, I imagine, as Shakespeare said, that flights of angels sang her to her rest. Thank goodness that we can still hear her voice and shed a tear for her. Farewell, Nanci, from a fellow Texan, this ain’t goodbye, just so long.
Nanci Griffith is still coming up on my UA-cam feeds and Im just as gutted as the night I found out that she died. Her music meant the world to me at one time...
I hope that those people who attended that night appreciate what a special gift they received.
They did, and I think Nanci did too. She told both Emmylou Harris and John Pride about the festival, and they both became headliners later.
This has to be the best performance of Tecumseh Valley EVER. I say this with my heart breaking.
We were so lucky to have this national/international treasure. Thankfully, she lives on in her music and her memory will be eternal.
💔”it seemed to me, sunshine walked beside her.”
A delicate, moving version of one of the best sad songs ever written.
She was a beautiful soul, and is sorely missed.
This lady can hold your heart in her hands...life is good when I listen to you...Nanci Griffith, "Caroline"...
I was there. A great performance in Halden Norway.
This version is everything
Townes agreed.
Nanci Griffith is just plain amazing.
Got me again.
My god. The anguish in her face.
Got me too... again
a masterpiece sung by an angelic girl with an angelic voice.
rest in peace Nanci
So beautiiful Nancy...sunsnine walks beside you
The world is a lot less round without this beautiful soul. Rest in power and peace sweet one.
I miss you Nanci I love you forever ❤
The best folk songs tell stories of heartbreak. It helps us let our tears flow . . .
The late Townes Van Zandt had an uncanny knack for writing some of the simplest, yet most beautiful songs.
The late Nanci Griffith had the same gift when it came to delivering a song.
All I can add is, "Wow!"
Fred
We didn’t deserve her. But I’m so grateful we had her. Rest now, Nanci Caroline Griffith. We will never let your light dim.
Thank you for all the beautiful heartfelt music, Nanci. You will be missed.
RIP the greatest singer that’s ever walked this earth
So true!
How much grace, how much sweetness...how much beauty...There
are so many songs that you listen to 100 times and how they come in, they come out, and then there are pearls of songs like this that you listen to once, they go in and they don't go away anymore...This was absolutely the first song I heard from Nanci.
She's totally into the song ..
It's Impossible not to love this artist, that I see on stage, not to love all her grace, her sweetness and her honesty...
Nanci has an extreme sensitivity.I hope that those Norwegians have perceived what gift had happened to them ..
I think this song is very special for Nanci.
Grazie Nanci Caroline, Thanks a lot. Love❤️
So very well said. Nothing else to add except that between her and Emmy Lou, we’ve been blessed far beyond our expectations
Thanks Jim...it was actually a blessing to know and enjoy the existence of these great artists
We'll have memories for company, long after the songs are gone... Thank you, Nanci. A big part of a lot of hearts.
Such a perfect ballad, so beautifully peformed. Townes and Nanci are sorely missed, but we're blessed for having had them at all.
It seemed to me the sunshine walked beside her!! RIP, Nanci 💚🌷🌺
I saw this concert on TV this year....and felt in love of this song and Nacy right away.
A wonderful versions of this song. Nancy ....a precious flower, an angel of beautiful song, a brilliant woman. So much to Love in a person. She captured my heart.
Nanci. You have been so important in my life. Farewell. Love you!!
Nanci reflects all that is good in music and her interpretation of this song and in many others is pure class.
Magic comes out of her mouth !!!
An angel 😇
Rest peacefully Nanci 🥀
Wow, she's almost in tears, very moving.
Love her Texas accent and I love her voice!
She has an accent? Guess I have lived in Austin for too long a time.
