Tift Merritt "Broken"

[TheSupergpop]

I caught her quite by accident on XM Outlaw Country. I was converted right there. And after seeing her videos, I do not understand why mainstream country stations don't pick her up. She is far more talented than some of the dingalings who are high in the charts right now.

[tvgrice67]

Potential ??

[johnnecron]

Tift and I have the same ancester way back to the Revolution.

[BroadwayGirl24]

I saw her live with Stephen Kellogg, who is my all time favorite, and I thought she was incredible. I am so glad to have seen her open for him, otherwise I may have missed out on her amazing talent and music.

[da5idnz]

Nice. She kinda reminds me of the vocalist who sings "Moonlight Shadow"

[theachtungtree]

super sexy, i'm red faced right now

[ewetubable]

Great girl - a real talent

[kappastarz]

i only caught the last few seconds on the radio and i knew i liked it and now listening to it on youtube confirms it.......

[deviousli]

@kappastarz Same here!

[halonfactor]

If by "country" you mean Tift Merrit, then "yes". If you mean Kellie Pickerell, Carrie Underwood or Reba, then "No"

Though I still hate the McMusic feel of major market Nashville (Chesney, Keith, Big and Dumb etc) I'm enthralled by Tift Merrit

[rwm1]

I had the pleasure of meeting Tift last night. A very shy and demure lady with a great voice.

[cwether27]

Emotional, physical, mentally etc... we don't break although the feelings may

persist...resist and persue!!!! Progress ahead.  If you are 80 years old and fall of your bike get up and ride again.

[bedazzledbystephanie]

Tift is coming to the HandleBar in Greenville SC tonight!!!! We are soooo excited to

see her.

[bbishoffproducer]

Nice Song



[Mouldytone]

What a fantastic songwriter Tift Merritt is. Great clip.

"what is broken falls into place once again" with god's help :)

[hank5168]

One of my favorite songs. I watch this vid all the time (I'm a little in love with her in this vid).

[StonefieldJim4]

OK, so the verses are back to front, but you get the idea. ;-)

[StonefieldJim4]

But Im broken and I dont understand

What is broken falls into place once again.

Hand of kindness, come and gather me in like a rainstorm,

Again and again and again,

I think I will break but I mend.

[StonefieldJim4]

Now youre broken and you dont understand

What is broken falls into place once again.

And its these most loved losses, they are just old coin tosses,

And these most loved losses are the hardest to carry.

I wish I were a freeway laid out clearer than a bright day.

Id run wide open down this causeway like brand new

Singing louder than the whole block, all my love would be a straight shot

Night would dream the dreams that I got, and so would you.

[StonefieldJim4]

So morning comes to clean up like nothing happened when your heart stopped,

Like all the lawyers calling all cops to wave days through.

Just close your eyes for this long, somethings mixed up and somethings gone,

Only fingers can you count on, and one leaves two.

[StonefieldJim4]

The lyrics? Google 'em!

Once you were a straight shot, a shiny quarter in a new slot,

Night would keep the dreams that you got for afternoon.

Then telling the truth got so hard, we were dancing in the backyard,

Once I knew the end and the start, but now thats through.

Now youre broken and you dont understand

What is broken falls into place once again.

[bobbytiger]

One of the many unappreciated singer-song writers.

Such a talent, that unfortunately,

most people will never hear.

[NECUAT]

i lovett it!!

[ichirootaniguchi]

OMG SHE HAS A HOLGA in the video lol

[atomicFlyer]

I get to see her again tonight with Drive-by-truckers!

[RaiderEleven]

Fabulous singer! Are you listening Mr Letterman, Mr Leno, Mr Conan? This is who you need on your show!!

[enviroguy101958]

I saw her last night solo at Ram's Head On Stage in Annapolis and she was fabulous. My wife and I got to meet her afterwards and she was very nice. Real and personable.

[atomicFlyer]

randy

[WayTooMuchPressure]

hotness

[Louloute2eme]

Tift.....to go in FRANCE please

[TimmytheGeek2009]

She's a Raleigh girl and I saw her last summer perform at the NC Museum of Art - it was a great show, like a homecoming for her. She seems like a nice person too.

[staciaadams]

0:12  Whoaaaaaa!

[noticeeverything]

I'll say

[gladhag]

She reminds me of Emmylou.

[Allurade]

Such a beautiful song.

[pef286]

That's a 65 or 66 Chevy Corvair Corsa. It is a member of the Corvair Society Of America. See sticker on lower right of windshield. I need to get out more, but it's below zero and snow and salt on the road. It's just too cold to drive my 65 Corvair convertible right now.

[mjrcaliber]

Nice Corvair convertible

[gaakgong]

She has an Emmy Lou Harris quality to her voice. She is awesome!!! I saw her on Grand Ole Opery and couldn't believe what I saw and heard. She WILL be a super star someday, I am willing to bet on it.

[susiemglynn]

this is my dad's favourite song. he plays it all day long!

[El135o]

Wow, she's on Fantasy, Creedence/John Fogerty's label!

[Troy21071989]

Goddammned is she hot!!!!! I melt like butter in a pan when i hear her voice

[mtheaney]

Try to listen to this without dancing.  Not possible.

[Aquaseemore]

I just got back from her concert in Atlanta, with Teddy Thompson! She was awesome!

[CHARCEE5]

darn I wish she still lived in wilmington so we could see more of her and Zeke --what a neat guy@!!

[nocturnezero]

Saw her last night in Wilmington; she rocks.

[commventam]

Saw her in Annapolis, MD at the Ram's Head on June 26th. Wonderful permormer, terrific talent

[wassioom]

Great song, and the whole CD is amazing.

[toothbrush5190]

Great song. Is the whole cd good ? I have her last cd Tambourine, which has some great tracks on it, but only a handfull.

[DrummerITH]

She is really awesome! I love this song!

[CosminBadea]

Love her and her songs! Great artists. Wish she'd come to Romania... :(

[danielle996]

I love this song

[ScienceProjek]

Everytime I look Her Up On Limewire Or Anywhere Else I Can't Find her

[primalyscreamed]

you could always purchase the track......

[pubbaa]

try bearshare 5.2

[SocialHiccup]

Lucky me has tickets to see her tomorrow night! :D

[gbarry11]

Saw her in Chicago this weekend. What a terrific songwriter and performer (and a total sweetheart). Is she REALLY marrying her drummer.  I just don't see it.

[SocialHiccup]

I couldn't agree with ya more, gb...I saw her earlier this evening. Tift is a great performer and you can tell she not only loves to perform, but she really appreciates her audience. If any of you get a chance to see her, do yourself a favor and get to the show...you won't be disappointed.

[guitarngreg]

Best new singer/songwriter you can find! Tift does live in Raleigh, N.C. The reason she named the new c.d. "ANOTHER COUNTRY", is because she went to another country to write it. Paris I think. My top 5 favorite.Love it!!

[slimphotog]

That would explain the foreign sounding police siren at the start of this video.

[mmagliaro]

Hey.... she's GOOD!

Stumbled across her in relation to some Kathleen Edwards stuff I was digging around for (and you should check HER out if you like Tift Merrit).

I'll be buyin' this album

[Nickendoodler123]

my Uncle is in the band NO JOKE Zeje hutchins and he is marrying tift merrit so shes gonna be my aunt. REALLY zeke is my moms bro.

[avrilparamars44]

I can't wait to see her live!i can't believe someone famous is actuality coming to north Carolina,lol

shes amazing!

[bobjonesohya]

She lived in Raleigh and played there on New Year's Eve.

[avrilparamars44]

oh! thats right! cool,lol.sorry delayed comment,lol

[cntrymomma]

This woman is BRILLIANT. Really. And such a beautiful video. :o) I have to catch her live.

[SocialHiccup]

Another great song by Tift and I'm loving the new CD. Can't wait to see her live next month!

[CosminBurner]

First heard this song on The Tonight Show I instantly loved it. I see the video is also great. Too bad you can't buy Tift in Romania, God damn! :(

[mewdeeone]

@CosminBurner Somebody can email you the Torrents once they download them.  It's not impossible, you know!

[nachodaddy1]

This is one of those songs that just goes off (boom!)in your head.I liked her previous work,butI did not see this one coming. Reminds me of how I felt the first time I heard Buffalo Springfield or Poco years ago.Kudos!

[mabernethy03]

Great song, beautiful video.

[InsomniacDreams55]

awesome song

[dmiggs]

woah

[DJJAZ]

Yay, Tift! WNRN loves you! :)
