Nanci Griffith (et al.) - Who Knows Where The Time Goes

[@markw4206]

I need to stop watching these Nanci Griffith videos. They're gloriously sweet and resonant, but they leave me despondent at her passing. A hug to all you fellow grieving fans...

[@wanderinggeri8477]

She was too young and is so missed!

[@Genjo_N_Mojave]

I will go to my deathbed saying: Nanci Griffith is and was one of the most under-rated, yet one of most influential, and uniquely great of an artist, in both America and Europe, over the last 4 decades. 4 decades now since her first LP release. 4 decades of soothing, moving, angelic music. Kudos to all of NG's work; over her lifetime, and for making my own life a bit gentler and kinder ~!~

[@t-bone_b]

That's beautiful! Thank you for your words.

[@daviddorais6071]

All you have to see is Lyle Lovett, Mark O'Conner, and Emily Lou Harris as her BACK UP chorus and set musician on her first Austin City Limits in 1985. Many others joined in later- LOTS of duets, trios and groups...

[@matthijsruhrup8869]

Robert, you hit the nail on the head... what a great artist she was! Rest in peace, sweet Angel Nanci.

[@gingerevans1346]

One of the most popular singer-songwriter in her season. Thank you ❤️

[@artnouveau7633]

I've been listening to this woman for the same amount of time ive grown up listening to Nanci it's sad to say good by.

Time has come and gone, rest in peace our precious Nanci...

[@mangosmadmom]

Nanci once looked to the sky and asked Kate Wolf to “save me a seat at the bar” . I wish for her spirit ,all the love and joy that she gave so freely while she was with us and her longing heart found bliss😇❤️🌹☮️

My favorite video of hers - with Maura O'Connell and Karen Matheson! Two more of my faves... ❤

[@carmelgriffin6515]

The time sure comes and goes. All the more poignant tonight after hearing of Nanci's death. An amazing artist...rest in peace Nanci and Thank You ❤

[@Poulabrone1]

I first saw Nanci in 1985 at the storied Anderson Fair in Houston. Later, I saw Nancy twice at the Barns of Wolf Trap in Washington (Nanci: "You folks in Washington sure know how to behave yourselves. Fights usually break-out in the bars I play in."). Special memories. RIP, Nanci. In heaven you will delight the angels.

[@paulwalters9885]

I'm still trying to get my head around Nanci Griffith's passing. All I can say is that I was privileged to have seen her so many times in concert and for that I will be forever grateful. Rest Now in Peace sweet Angel. Thanks for your music and stories.

[@victorharris3375]

I'm 71 and got into Nancy's music late in my life. What a beautiful artist, I just love her music.

[@ralphvanetten4973]

Rest in peace Nanci, this could not be a more beautiful song for such a sad day.

[@billbernhard3582]

"Ah but then you know, it's time for them to go, but I will still be here". Our many thanks to Ms Griffith and to Ms Denny also !

[@claireroberts5051]

Sorry to lose you Nanci, thanks for the music.

[@thomashermann2785]

I love nearly all versions of this poignant song because it is a flat out beautiful composition, and they all remind me of the great and too soon lost Sandy Denny

[@docben1541]

Yes too soon gone to heaven Sandy Denny.

Poor Sandy, how precious a voice, thank God we live in the age of her sublime talent being recorded....

[@sebastiansaville2043]

That was seriously good. She was deceptively talented. Nanci was gone before I discovered her music. Since then, it's been a journey of discovery. Listening to her sing this Sandy Denny song underpins just how talented she really was. May she Rest in Peace.

[@Tseemo]

Okay. Being an old fart by now, I have listened to many versions of this song. I like this one version best. Mrs Griffith nails it. She has touched my soul. Thanks for sharing.

[@moryan6447]

Griffith is Nanci’s family name, not a married one. But you are right it is one of the best renditions.

[@daweshorizon]

So sad that Nanci has left us. Rest in peace Nanci. I have just found this version of 'Who Knows Where the Time Goes', it's brilliant! It's a very sensitive and heart-warming cover of Sandy Denny's masterpiece; Sandy also left us way before her time. I feel privileged to have heard the musical genius of Nanci and Sandy and enjoyed it all of these years. Such talent doesn't com round too often. Love and peace.

[@Hdtexan]

This song breaks me down everytime...Love you Nanci!

[@laurah190]

I have always loved the music of Nancy Griffith. Her and I were born in the same year, just a different Continent. "Who know where the time goes." I will miss you Nancy.🥰

[@crazycrow76]

Hearing the news last night hurt. God it hurt. Watching this now I am almost tearing up.

[@robertrockwell7581]

there are certain people God puts on this Earth with Angelic voices and Nanci is one of those people. R.I.P.

[@THEJET52]

She loved her music and entered it fully with total reverence for her gift of music. “ Fly away to Heaven” Nancy!

[@countrychick61]

My sister used this song as a background for a family picture slideshow she created for my Mother's 75th birthday. I have not heard a more fitting or beautiful tribute to the passage of time. My heart felt so many emotions listening, that I could not stop crying. I have always loved Nanci Griffith's music, but her delivery of this is beyond talent..it's inspired.

[@johnharold8682]

Flows past like a river, but songs like this hold a moment in time for us. And we can remember.

[@roisinwhite390]

Rest now, surrounded by music Nanci. RIP.

[@DiogoSouza]

When you hear without a comparison, you can achieve a different comprehension of the feelings about why they sing this... Let's just feel... listen, it's amazing! ❤️

[@michaelchapman1324]

I can't believe she's gone ... how terribly sad ....

[@debra13]

I really love Nanci's voice of the 90's. I know some prefer her more "innocent and pure" voice of her girlhood, but I love this mature purity and richness as she grew older. Of course there is something to love in every Nanci era.

[@kymnorley8657]

Just loved the Transatlantic Sessions. Brought together wonderful musicians to reflect on music that crossed the Atlantic to define what roots music means.

[@cavandavidson1185]

There are several great versions of this song but I think this captures its beauty and nobility perfectly. I adore it.

[@patriciadonahue7075]

Nanci has been such a big part of my life through her music She was like a sister that I didn’t get a chance to meet, although I’ve been to so many of her concerts. What a beautiful voice. And to be singing with all of you talented people. Wow what a great treat. Miss you Nanci.

[@b1j]

You know, I've begun thinking of her as a slightly "big" sister recently. One I hope will find love and peace, but never seems to. I don't know how long this will last, this inability to avoid tears when she sings. She sings "I have no fear of time."

[@unterwant]

what a wonderful "Shalalala" opens the song for a smile in the end ..... what a wonderful/ beautiful singer, poet and musician called Nanci G.

[@tamilapp4944]

I know many people have voiced to me that they are used to Judy Collins' version or even Denny's...and to be sure they are wonderful, but....there is just something about this rendition by Nanci and friends that sends me to another place. The look of those joining her is nothing short of enrapturing. You can see that this experience has touched them all to their very cores. Just lovely.....

[@steveharris5008]

you may be right, but might they not be engaging with Sandy on a personal and meaningful level...???

[@brendangallagher8087]

I believe this was sung soon after Nanci had come through her battle with cancer - she always sings from the heart but this felt particularly poignant. Support singing and musicians superb. Magic in the air that night

[@xxXxMaRbEaRxXxx]

[@HalfGreyhound]

You can't top the late, great Sandy Denny. It is impossible. Like trying to outscore Michael Jordan in his prime. But what Nanci does is to honor other great songs, bring her own thing to it, show some reverence, expose other people to the material. She's an artist, and a fantastic songwriter in her own right.

[@lancetaylor7]

Judy Collins did it fine. I think she sang it better than either of these, definitely.

[@alfox13]

I've a suspicion she was ill when she did this I noticed she was crying before she sang.She opened a school in Belfast to help children read and helped to get recognition in the US for folk musicians from this side of the pond there's a better version on "Other voices too".

Yes, but I trust you know that the writer of this song was Sandy Denny sometime of Fairport Convention.

[@williamsearle543]

This gets to me.. RIP lovely lady. You will be missed.

[@djohn4096]

Sandy Denny was the greatest folk-rock singer of her generation and "Who Knows Where The Time Goes" is her masterpiece. No other artist can make me forget Sandy. That said, this is a very fine version that does complete justice to the original. Just take it for what it is and enjoy it.

[@ChristopherWelles]

Completely agree on Sandy Denny’s talents as a singer and songwriter. Her combination of technical mastery and emotional immediacy puts her in rarified company (Joni Mitchell on “Blue”; the cream of Eva Casady, come to mind in the folk genre). Compare Denny’s version of a trad ballad to that of her peers’: her rendition will tell for feeling and import of lyric. So I was surprised to find Griffith’s version of “Time” as the one that most spoke to me. Denny’s version seemed to rush the delivery of the lyrics - almost as if she was tired of the song (I may need to listen again to her earlier versions of the song). In the end,mall I can say is that Griffiths version moved me in a way that Denny’s didn’t.
