Up to the mountain Patty Griffin

[@lucasboden]

some people think this is an old classic. they dont realize that Patty herself wrote this song

[@zakheledlamini3212]

Who is listening to her in 2019

[@banjohombre]

She's amazing

[@lukapoop]

I sure as hell am!

[@Griffindor1955]

Me. 😊

[@virginiamora9754]

2020

[@kellyketch6391]

Still listening in 2020... she’s amazing ❤️

[@gavinsdad1]

I get to see her tonight in a room with less than 100 people. Totally blessed.

[@missmeech788]

Totally jealous! I just can't imagine seeing her sing live. You lucky dog, you.

[@zacharycrowe7019]

eec0

[@lukapoop]

Let me guess. Anderson Fair in Houston?

[@lovingmayberry2000]

She wrote this. This song is the very definition of Faith. Love it.

[@lukecotton754]

I'm Scottish and just getting to know American country music!! This blew me AWAY!! XX

[@scottrussell2281]

You could hear a pin drop as she sang. Very few artists command that level of respect. Beautiful

[@MissDistarr60]

I believe you summed it up. Well said!!

[@bhammy54]

OK...Kree Harrison did a very nice cover of this song...but Patty Griffin wrote the song, has put in the miles, years, sweat & tears and deserves so much more acclaim. She is a true American treasure.

[@stevenvankoutrik992]

very under rated

[@smithbros1000]

I was privileged to see Patty live at a folk festival in Colorado. It rained hard the entire time. I wouldn't have missed a second of it!! Lord, what a talent!!!

[@carolinasalt2]

A wonderful tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. I had to listen to it today as we pay tribute to him and his amazing life and work.

[@rkdr9433]

This song paints such a picture of solace and comfort; "The peaceful valley, just over the mountain few come to know. I may never get there." I can just imagine that Martin Luther King would feel so honoured to have such a beautiful song written because of his own words. I truly hope he did find that valley. Such amazing people, i cant fathom the talent.

[@billybutlin3717]

We all have our mountains, and many of us know we will never reach the top. But this song, and the speech that inspired it, gives us the strength and the faith to carry on.

[@superAweber]

I'm from the UK and grew up on Central African, Black American and Caribbean music. My Dad played lots of Otis Redding when I was a kid. Otis has a plaintive, pleading tone to all his songs that utterly captivated my young heart and ears. It's *exactly the same childhood feeling I get with her. Soul or Folk singer? Never heard of her before today. I had to dig hard to uncover the source of the heavenly voice I heard at the end of a Nurse Jackie episode.

[@loriaustin5172]

Love Otis Redding

[@siribaimusic]

she's a singer-songwriter spanning several genres . Check out her albums. You may have heard covers of some of her other songs.

[@jessicacoe9769]

How could anyone "dislike" this!!?

[@thomlin8812]

I haven't voted a dislike, but I will say that the answer 'could' be the way the song is arranged. I love this song, and I'd never heard it sung by it's writer, and certainly her vision for it CANNOT be wrong...still, I'm just saying that for me, just looking at the words and listening only to the tune, I personally enjoy this song when sung with less emphasis given the musical production and a more singular focus on her sincere style of delivery. Truly, this is fine here; it is lovely. For me, though--I'm just sayin'. Thank you.

[@snowball1465]

24 people absolutely have no soul. This song never gets old.

[@EvanescentMelody]

i honestly clicked this because i thought it said "up to the mountain peter griffin" and how could you not click that, especially after bird is the word but honestly, this is lovely. very lovely

[@kathleenw]

October 2020, we will get through this difficult time for the world,

[@Max4553]

Full of His Love and so Blessed By His Grace when My Father and My God ask me to come up to His Most High and So Holy Place...and He continues Asking Me To... So Amazing and So Merciful...How Truly Great Is His Salvation, Freely Given to You by His Son My Lord Jesus Christ...Amen and Amen...

[@AnnaAwesome77]

God, I love this song. I need to song. This song gives me motivation to live every time I hear it. I don’t know why more people don’t know Patty Griffin but I’m glad I do. And I’ve always wish more people knew Patty Griffin and I wish even more people would right now . do you know how when you’re a kid some people are unforgettable and you always remember who they are Aretha Franklin, Muhammad Ali, Dr. Martin Luther King, Nina, Simone, and so many people that will never be famous because they didn’t want to be. They are teachers people who stood up and remembered people, and demonstrated how they behaved in history to make the world a different place which is where we live now because of them.

[@GIGILarue-zo3ie]

Love this song❤touched my heart the words are so real what a great songwriter

[@JivinJane]

When I want to feel closer to the Lord or just cry my eyes out, this is where I will come. Just out of this world great. Thanks to Patty and the band.

[@karenlynne1122]

I just saw that the Boston Children's choir performed this yesterday at the Memorial service for the victims of the terrorism on Monday. What an exquisite song to capture the hurt and confusion in us all...

[@1941caironewyork]

I never heard about Patty Griffin until the other day. I play this often and Loud. What an amazing voice and talent.

[@carlpeters5920]

My niece sang this beautiful heart wrenching song at my son, Dylan's, funeral and she kicked pass! I don't understand how anyone could speak negatively about this talented woman and her contributions to our lives..rock on!

[@katiefaith5381]

What an amazingly clear expression of life, it's hardship & weariness as we await HIS appearing😢

[@truthCkur1]

I would LOVE to see Patty and Van Morrison do a few songs together, she has such a beautiful voice!

[@wlgj1341]

She doesn’t do as well when she ranges out of traditional rock/folk/bluegrass

[@wlgj1341]

..and the fact is I didn’t write this for 12 bar blues, albeit I also was not consulted

[@jeffcomer4865]

What a pure pure voice that God gave her. Absolutely beautiful.

[@sukipuki1001]

She's up there with Dylan

[@lesliescott2362]

I just love Patty Griffin. Just about anything she does. She is a unique talent. And this song is the best example of that. So beautiful.

[@Kelleysmith402]

Absolutely Beautiful! Period.

[@leftywilliamsmusic]

Shelia Chambers Agreed.

[@lilliananaka9778]

+Shelia Chambers She is amazing

[@MissDistarr60]

What a voice. She only needs to sing about 3 words, and I've got goosebumps. That voice... And what command and control she has over it. It's incredible. I wonder if she gives "herself" goosebumps when she hears herself sing????

[@okokoberry]

I love this video! Going through some tough times and it brings me some peace!

[@AnnaAwesome77]

I didn’t get to edit any of the things I said before, but what I do believe is that if you listen to this song, you should find inspiration, and Patty Griffin is an amazing artist who may never be known in her time, but she certainly changed my life in my time and I’m glad she’s still alive and I am too. Thank you Patty Griffin. I love you. My brother introduced me to you 25 or six years ago.

[@sarthaksahu4399]

I'm thankful to 'Haunting of the hill house' for introducing me to this legend. Heavenly day is just heavenly.

[@trick351]

That’s how you command an audience. What a legend ❣️❣️❣️

[@suzettebaker6309]

I have heard a few other renditions of this song, but its Patty who takes me to that mountain...with goose bumps.

[@per-olofemanuelpalmertz4673]

What a wonderful song ❤

[@patrickohannigan8962]

Patty is phenomenal, but I also tip my hat to her backing band here. They absolutely nail tasteful accompaniment that shows Patty's voice to advantage and serves the beautiful song. The whole performance is a paradox -- so well-disciplined and resonant that it soars to freedom.

[@jackiesmusic423]

This song helped me heal.Thank you Patty Griffin,I will always be grateful.

[@andrewprokopis9430]

a message for all times, all people..........and so much more so right now

[@doogleandalix]

@1941caironewyork NO ONE can touch this Patty Griffin version .Others do an admirable job , but as the songwriter and a superb performer, her nuances and pathos brings this song to a new high .

[@zoeandurayfajardo4064]

Amazing performance absultly beatiful song

[@Bogdan_Stefanescu]

I'm totally addicted to her voice !! I've found this video three days ago and I'm overwhelmed. Can't stop listening to it. Extraordinary performance.

[@MidnightWriter8210]

So proud to know that Patty Griffin is from Maine, my home state.

[@ZanieVee]

I can listen to this over and over again.....she wrote & sings this song flawlessly. She sets the standard & than it's only up from there :)

[@rogerjennings8943]

My most favorite version.

[@AlanQuinn-bo6fx]

Definitely in the conversation of greatest song in my life! BEAUTIFUL

[@JohnBrown-el8ir]

Patty, your music touches my soul . I love it .

[@andrewprokopis9430]

doesn't get better than this...

[@amotorcycle1]

I tear up every time I hear this song

[@cneville2]

Remember, that sweet voice is there for you too.

[@markanthony9098]

Susan Boyle brought me here an glad she did. I love the singer /writer. Well done patty Singing your song, your way.

[@realisticfantasy7092]

This sing makes you fly over the mountains! Pure magic.

[@CKRebelDiamonds]

my dream as an aspiring singer is to one day perform this with her.

[@jedunn8950]

God, she is a beautiful storyteller.

[@luisanduray7645]

I love patty

[@TriniTallie]

I love this song....Gets me through a tough and really lifts my spirit...

[@dannweber9621]

My mom died 2 weeks ago today. This song, the lyrics, HER voice has gotten me through some of the worst days I’ve ever had. I feel a warmth, like my mom hugging me, telling me I’ll be ok.❣️❤️

[@MsLeah43]

She amazes me.

[@MissDistarr60]

Everyone up on that stage shined. But of course Patty was the brightest light. She has the inherent ability to draw you right into the song. That kind of passion cannot be taught or learned. One is born with it.

[@pauloprosdocimijr5440]

Gorgeous presentation!!!!!!!! So beautiful!!!!!!

[@ellenpete8377]

Where has Patty Griffin been all my life? Heartfelt, real songs with a wonderful voice.

[@DonValentine1984]

i had never heard of Patty until I googled the song that i heard Crystal Bowersox sing in the finals of American Idol. It is a beautiful song and i was wanting to sing it at a karaoke club if it was available. The KJ had it in his list so i've attempted it a couple times.

[@leftywilliamsmusic]

I'm in awe...

[@blahhhh581]

WOW WOW WOW! Gorgeous flawless voice! And singing it in front of the seat of evil, that takes some balls sister! God bless!

[@staceycabral5660]

Mikey Mike; She has a beautiful voice. And about where she's singing. My thoughts exactly.

[@NobodySpecial512]

+Stacey Cabral She is singing at an Austin City Limits taping. The back ground is the Austin skyline. What are you two talking about?

[@staceycabral5660]

+Nobody special My mistake. Thought she was in Washington D.C.

[@plaidshirtguy2211]

Grey's Anatomy Brought me here. I had to buy it on Itunes. 💕

[@stevenmurphy3705]

[@rebbekkahholt2647]

from the heart. A song we all can relate to..

[@maszlagma]

I love her phrasing! She sings like she talks, no need for high notes and other bells and whistles! I believe every word and not that leaves her throat!

[@bllamont1969]

Get the tissues ready. Damn good.

[@blakvegas]

SANG......Tears falling down my face.. I love her voice!!

[@ilordcheese]

Who could give this a thumbs down?

[@bajangalish]

Never heard of her until I saw Jennifer Phillips perform this song on X Factor, of which she rocked, to the delight of the judges and audience alike.

[@billmaher514]

A great song! I will always remember Patty Griffin for writing this! Thank you...

[@dennyt25]

Top class. I've only recently discovered Patty Griffin. A gripping performance by a very talented artist.

[@kaybullo5291]

She is so confident but so humble , all in one. I just learned about P.G and I am totally in love with her voice and lyrics. God Bless

[@tragicfigureincorner]

A benchmark!

[@JanuarySubaru]

Patty Griffin is such a treasure! Her voice is almost unimaginably beautiful. She's a mighty fine songwriter, too. This is another one smacked out of the ballpark!

[@MrCharlieroo]

Saw her a few times. These musicians by far, made up the best band she ever had.

[@TheLongTimeObserver]

This song is in tribute to Martin Luther King Jr's last speech the day before he was killed.

[@Dawn41371]

I don't know how I have never heard of this truly awesome lady but I believe she is absolutely one of the very best songwriters and singers that I truly have ever heard and I will be looking for any of her music that I can find totally amazing

[@lauriroset]

In honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. please consider supporting the MLK Memorial Foundation - easy to find.. google.. Love Patty and this song...
