Nanci Griffith in Norway 1993 From A Distance

[@drumsticksusa]

Nanci was one of the best humans ever. And thank you, Julie Gold, for this song, and condolences on the loss of your friend.

[@kd2432]

RIP Nanci you will be forever missed but not forgotten.

[@leventozluoglu3035]

From now on She will sing this song from a distance to all. RIP angel ..

[@bobtraudt6114]

I never loved a singer as much as Nanci, have about 13 of her CD's, and was happy to meet her and shake her left hand when she went to the LEAF festival in Black Mountain, NC to sing with a cast on her right arm!

[@roymullenix3789]

Her music touched me like no other artist. RIP Nanci

[@BicBradley]

Her work will live for generations.

[@mikeivey6504]

True class. She ALWAYS credits song writers.

unfortunatley, i can only hit the LIKE button one time

[@FrancoS59]

When Nanci received "From A Distance" from Julie Gold, she immediately fell in love with the song. And surely this is one of the reasons to understand why Nanci interprets this song so masterfully : because she immediately fell in love entering the soul of the song. And see this woman on stage, the musician Nanci with her clean and honest face, who strips herself of all the frills, and with the vocal means at her disposal - and in any case Nanci uses her beautiful voice very well - in a simple way but with all her humanity, that manages so extraordinarily to interpret this song, well, it is extremely moving and it warms my heart. And I feel a deep admiration and respect for Nanci, and also i feel to her so much affection, and I want to thank her from the bottom of my heart.❤️ And of course a heartfelt thanks to Julie for writing and composing a masterpiece like this wonderful song.❤️ Love ❤️❤️

[@edwardhayes6111]

Franco Semprini Absolutely. You captured them both. Julie Gold is on of the most impressive people I have ever seen. Heat song. By great people.

[@FrancoS59]

Completely agree with you, Edward, Julie Gold and Nanci Griffith are extraordinary and very sensitive songwriters and musicians

Top women.

song number 3 at my funeral. I have loved this girl for 30 years. thank you for the music.

[@FrancoS59]

The emotions and the thrills that Nanci makes run when he sings and in particular in this interpretation, have no equal. I love you very much, Nanci, thank you.

[@stately1967]

whats one and two?

[@Talesia758nr7]

A massive contribution to music. This is what I call real music.

[@DanPurdy1]

So much power coming from such a slender body. She understood the magic of the song.

[@markw4206]

Did she go to the trouble of introducing the name of the song in Norwegian? What a sweet, thoughtful thing to do. She was such a gem.

[@SafferPOV]

Also sang a few lines in Norwegian

[@gunder7057]

It was the title, "from a distance", in spanish, french and german.

[@bondseanbond5190]

@@SafferPOV who’s the Other Singer with Nanci?

[@SafferPOV]

@@bondseanbond5190 Doing a search, one of the women could be Maura Kennedy who joined her band in 1993 as a harmony singer. Later formed The Kennedys duo with her husband

[@jerrybrownell3633]

Nanci was only 68 when she died. Not fair. She had so much more to share with us.

From a distance Julie Gold The world looks blue and green And the snow capped mountains white From a distance The ocean meets the stream And the eagle takes to flight From a distance There is harmony And it echoes through the land It's the voice of hope It's the voice of peace It's the voice of every man From a distance We all have enough And no one is in need And there are no guns, No bombs, and no disease No hungry mouths to feed From a distance We are instruments Marching in a common band Playing songs of hope Playing songs of peace They are the songs of every man God is watching us God is watching us God is watching us From a distance From a distance You look like my friend Even though we are at war From a distance I just cannot comprehend What all this fighting's for From a distance There is harmony And it echoes through the land And it's the hope of hopes It's the love of loves It's the heart of every man It's the hope of hopes It's the love of loves This is the song for every man God is watching us God is watching us God is watching us From a distance Oh, God is watching us God is watching God is watching us From a distance
