Top of the World - Patty Griffin
Brilliantly timed, this Day 4 request is.
Most Patty Griffin songs break my heart, especially this one.
Her voice filled the theater last night and held each of us spellbound; nobody moved an inch when she stood on stage, all by herself, and sang this song. Quite a few of us had to wipe tears away when she was done.
BONUS:
Here's my picture from the balcony last night, when she and her three musicians first came out:
Catching up, here--wow! So cool that you're doing the challenge and were able to tie it in with such a great concert experience.
ReplyDeleteI know! I'm a little concerned that I committed to 30 days AND there's a few categories I'm not sure of... I decided to worry about it later, lol.
DeleteA song that makes me sad? Without hesitation, Mary Hopkin - "Those Were the Days".
ReplyDeleteI will have to look that up when I get home from work, thanks!
DeleteI'm glad you had a good time. Looks like you had good seats :)
ReplyDeleteI don't think there was a bad seat in the place. First time I've ever been there, it is beautiful!
DeleteHaven't heard that one in a while, can go the sad mile
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, just one of many.
DeleteFor the life of me I can never think of rhymes back to you. ...... No, not any. LOLOL
I love the album cover. Is that what they're called these days? I like her look. She's 49. Pretty voice.
ReplyDeleteI do too...I know exactly what you mean. And her voice, oh my gosh...you just can't believe this powerful beautiful voice is coming out of this tiny person.
DeleteNice choice. My initial thought was the Carpenters song which does, in fact, make me sad but for entirely aesthetic reasons.
ReplyDeleteI love that song by The Carpenters and also the Skeeter Davis version. Just remembering The Carpenters makes me so sad...Karen Carpenter had the sweetest voice.
