When it don't come easy - Patty Griffin

[@moonlitme]

I'm in one of those moods where the tears keep building up right behind my eyelids....I raise a glass to every woman I have ever loved.

[@g00glyelm0]

Thanks, Julio, mens rea est primum

[@KB-eg9kg]

There will never be agreement on "the most beautiful song," but this gets my vote. My first dance with my wife at our wedding - this song sums up love and commitment and knowing they are the most important when times are tough.

[@ronaldjaybelin520]

No, this isn’t exactly specifying love story..more so the general friendship that should exist in the world…no one ever came for me whom I had previously loved.. there were those, strangers, who go looking for you…?

[@ronaldjaybelin520]

I wrote this so I can specify

[@ronaldjaybelin520]

Patti WASNT exactly sure about ‘the last siren sounding’..?

[@moonlitme]

Sang this song as my sister's cancer was taking her places the rest of us could not go.

[@tragicfigureincorner]

One of the best songs ever, and surely PG's best rendition of this song I've heard. Her band unfolds a wonderful sound carpet here which carries these magic moments.

[@beaulyons1977]

Agree 12 yrs later ✊🏽✌🏽

[@bobbyprice9510]

Had the one of the worst years of my life this year, been about as bad as it could be. I needed some music like this. I love her voice, and the lyrics.. music to mend the soul

[@rusalkawalking]

Bobby Price, hoping life has treated you better over the last 6 years. Hoping you are safe and happy and healthy and at peace. Every blessing upon you.

[@tomdenk1163]

Patty Griffin is a treasure, such a wonderfully sensitive and gifted musician. This song ... we all need friends like this ❤

[@colerainfan1143]

A talented, sensitive performer. A gifted songwriter. One of the very best.

[@jgp7591]

Such a beautiful song written and sung by such a talent.

[@ronaldjaybelin520]

Patty Griffen Patty Griffen Patty Griffen Patty Griffen Patty Griffen I read so many of the comments , beautiful, emotional, loving, moving, tears, memories and joy. I tapped like on all of them and put 'Patty Griffen ' over and over for my comment. A singer/ songwriter you'll remember.

[@cristiantorrest.1457]

do you know the name of the guitarist?

[@mayaluna11]

Patty's vocals and songwriting find my soul and bring bittersweet tears. It's a sound that gently cuts to the bone.

[@moonlitme]

and gently holds your hand at the same time.

[@trmess1403]

Not a stretch to say PG is one of the best songwriters of all time.

[@beaulyons1977]

This is a great f’n performance ✊🏽✌🏽🫶🏼

[@emm352]

love to see joy on a musician's face when they're playing...bass player so into it!

[@w4ldo740]

OMG,what a perfect voice,first time hearing this exquisite song,can’t explain,but tears running down my face,came to her through Robert Plant Touching something inside 👏👏👏

[@427dorosz]

This woman is a treasure!!!

[@howardhatzfeld5602]

Damn it this song brings tears to my eyes every darn time...whew what a heart stopper, how dare Patti remind me like that of Love felt and Love lost, also it was beautiful to read through the comments just to see the many many people who are so impacted by this song as well ❤

[@cappuccinoordeath]

I first encountered this song in a documentary called " A Lion In The House". It follows 5 children in the USA as they battle cancer. They don't all make it ... Amazing documentary that has stayed with me, literally, as I ordered a copy from USA.

[@TheChuckysan1]

I just watched 'A Lion in the House. I have never been moved so much and this song sealed the emotion. A beautiful voice from a singer I had never heard of previously.

[@scottlougheed1372]

Thank you for the kind words about the documentary……. My Daughter Alexandra is the dark Curley haired angel in the film….God rest her sole

[@scottlougheed1372]

Look up “ A Lion in the House” a documentary about 5 children battling Cancer…. The Film makers from Yellow Springs, Ohio picked this song when running the credits of the film at the end❤ A Beautiful Song that brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it…… By the way, my daughter was one of those 5 kids with cancer… God rest her sole…. I Love You Alexandra

[@maryboyett9286]

Mary Boyett How are you now Mary? It’s been 2 years and I’m curious. Are you doing OK?

[@kmcg637]

You need to listen to the version with Patty and Melissa Ethridge as she says the exact same thing!

[@alisonwhiteman2066]

Patty is the most talented female voice out there. I adore her. So glad someone on The Voice sang one of her songs tonight.

[@VinceLyle2161]

This song tore me apart at the end of an episode of "Nurse Jackie." I've never been the same since.

[@deebee1782]

What a flawless performance

[@mistydebord8175]

Such a great wordsmith

[@dedmunds2323]

How can anyone put "thumbs down" on this song, I guess they just don't listen very well!

[@moonlitme]

Not sure why, but this song brings tears to my eyes. Every time i hear it . Every damn time.

[@schryver1960]

Believe me, I can relate. My wife came down to the basement one evening and discovered me weeping nearly uncontrollably while watching this video. I couldn't explain to her what the problem was. I didn't even know. Except that it has something to do with Patty's voice ... because there are others of her songs that have the same effect on me. As far as I'm concerned, she and James McMurtry are the two greatest songwriters of my generation -- and that encompasses a huge number of very, very, very great songwriters.

[@moonlitme]

I kind of like bruce cockburn....

[@Prescott122]

Check out Ray Wylie Hubbard. Conversation with the Devil is my favorite among many like his Grifter's Hymnal album.

[@allynisbet3679]

There’s a strong tenderness and fierceness to her music. We all want to be loved like that.

[@josephcalabaza9716]

Gets me misty eyed too on the red.

[@CdnBiggles]

This is one of Patty's epic songs. From an exquisite concert DVD that is beautifully filmed. Patty is perfect. Her band is great and the selection of songs is excellent.

[@cougaressa4675]

absolutely love patty griffin and this song is especially poignant and beautiful

[@RaxOldies]

Red lights are flashing on the highway I wonder if we're gonna ever get home I wonder if we're gonna ever get home tonight Everywhere the waters getting rough Your best intentions may not be enough I wonder if we're gonna ever get home tonight [Chorus] But if you break down I'll drive out and find you If you forget my love I'll try to remind you Stay by you when it don't come easy ....whoa-oh I don't know nothing except change will come Year after year what we do is undone Time gets moving from a crawl to a run I wonder if we're gonna ever get home You're out there walking down a highway And all of the signs got blown away Sometimes you wonder if you're walking in the wrong direction yeah....hey.... [Chorus] So many things that I had before It don't matter to me now Tonight I cry for the love that I've lost And the love that I've never found When the last bird falls And the last siren sounds Someone will say what's been said before Its only love we were looking for So when you break down.... [Chorus]

[@dis2666]

I love this version! Just beautiful, achingly lovingly beautiful~

[@locksand45]

Love this version of the song, the lead guitar gives the song a whole new voice the way it builds--sort of a U2 vibe.

[@jennypfeiler8071]

This song means a lot to me tonight while I was listening to all of the news and stories from Texas and Louisiana about the Harvey damage and flooding.

[@g00glyelm0]

The sentiment is universal and unavoidable. You will be either the subject or object of this song, or both at different times. . .

I love this song! It’s so beautiful. It reminds me a little of “Maryland” by Vonda Shepard.

[@woodenshoeangel]

And this one, maybe a all time favo? When you struggle, when you fight, the fighting can't be enough sometimes, when it doesnt come easy. Ill try, ill fight but i doesnt come easy. Sometimes I wonder If I am walking in the wrong direction, I will remind you, I stay by you right there, that place, my soul, my lucky soul.

[@ronaldjaybelin520]

As I say, this is the positive scenario..no one ever came looking for me on that highway…I certainly thought about that, though

[@wlgj1341]

This projected from me …for the driver I continued to look for … for me, and believe the part about signs blown away is literal

[@wlgj1341]

For 25 or 35 years literally

[@wlgj1341]

Well , I say “believe” because not every listener needs to experience to hear Patti so beautifully render the storyline: lots to see when the road is your home for 30 years …and that’s why I delineated this part : I was just arriving or leaving prior to, or arriving post at least 6 hurricanes

[@wlgj1341]

The inspiration for all the signs being blown away was specifically Simpsons seafood market marque on hwy98 through Destin, Fl by the hurricane just prior to Katerina

[@wlgj1341]

Although it’s literal it is also philosophical

[@ronaldjaybelin520]

But have you ever been out there..?

[@Marsha8of9]

Actually if you were to look at the original album cover, the song is titled, When it doesn't come easy...which makes you wonder if Spell correct fucked up the title of the song on the album. Regardless this is one of the best songs ever written about friendship, God or whatever value you place on people, Have never heard a better explanation of love...

[@kathleenvalenti9627]

You are so, eloquently, soulful deep.

[@BadFluffy]

@RemoVegas You're more than welcome. The Patty Love needs to be shared. Now let's hope YT won't delete this as it has been flagged as Third Party content but I'm not uploading the whole DVD so hopefully it will make people want to see the rest of it for themselves. It's a superb show.
