Patty Griffin, Goodbye

[baconandeggs80]

Thank you. Helps me grieve.

My first year at baby CTY, a girl played this at the talent show. It's amazing. :)

[thorgan77]

One of the very best singer/songwriters around today, and this is one of her most profound, moving pieces. Her album "Flaming Red" is a truly wonderful.... as are most of her works. And if you can see her live, do it! She is a wonderful, gifted performer.

[Stefanipow]

Two years, Dad. Still miss you everyday.

[123pinecone]

This is no cover this is the real thing

[xxcountrygirl23xx]

Such an amazing song.. I love Martina McBride's version as well. This song deserves more credit

[gangelone999]

my favorite patty song, reminds me of my dad

[thegoochieguy]

such a gorgeous song, patty is amazing.

[amc25yrfn]

[nakedrat]

They don't get any better than Patty. Love her.

love this song...07

[TheRepoMan1]

For me, this song will be forever tied to 9/11. The song was played on KDHX a day or so after that day. It was the first time I heard it and the lyrics hit me like a sledgehammer. I get the impression that this song is about a suicide . . . but it felt like something else at the time. I guess it always will. Does anybody know the true origin of this song?

[beingshar]

interesting RepoMan...never thought of it that way...i guess it's different for everybody who hears it...all it reminds of is my Grandmother passing 'Occurred to me the other day...you've been gone now a couple years...' a reminder..personal ...and I'm sure in the future may mean something else for me...Patty just really knows what she's doing.....gives me good chills everytime i hear it!

[beingshar]

Just read your comments again...I was so 'removed' at the time from 911...being in Canada seemed like a million miles away...reading again what you said....i get it!

[mcrbshoe]

This is as good as it gets.

[debeaumont2]

Absolutely !! My favorite Patty Griffin lyric -- and I have all of her stuff. I wear it out !!

She is amazing !

[beingshar]

Is this woman not amazing! One of THE best songs and emotion put out there!

[toterola451]

"Today my heart is big and sore, trying to push right through my skin. I won't see you anymore, I guess that's finally sinking in."

Ohhhh, the aching beauty!

Thanks so much for posting this.

[beingshar]

I concur! Fantastic lyrics,,,,,it doesn'' get any better

[DougM63]

"you cant make somebody see..." Patty knows.....beautifull song.

[czarkhasm]

Any chance this is Peekskill, New York?

[skip328]

Man I'll tell ya, if this song doesn't get to you , you're a cold sob. One of the best performances of any song... ever!

[LHBSK]

This is perhaps the best song ever written. Thank you, Patty. Martina McBride's version is also wonderful and haunting and melancholy. I wonder if the subject of this song is the same as Patty's amazing song "Tony."

[WroughtIronBed]

One of her best...haunting.

[ddelray]

Breathtaking!

[feralcat212]

I heard this live!!!! OMG!!! I'm sooooo in love

[BadFluffy]

Awesome! I have never heard her sing this live, let alone seen her! thanks a lot.

when was that if I can ask? I know it must be recent but where was it?
