Maybe one day
Along the way
You'll remember me
On this island

Smiling at you
How I used to
Maybe one day
You'll remember

And it won't be sad
To think of all we had
All unhappy ends
Will be behind us then

Maybe one day
Along the way
You'll think of me
And you'll be smiling

Maybe one day
Maybe one day
Maybe one day
You'll remember

When I hear a Patty Griffin song, I ache to sing again. It's easy to mouth the words, but to get the most ethereal of vocals from those phonics is a talent few possess. Ms. Griffin knows how to coax the emotion out of a syllable. Not many artists can do that.  I love her music. {#Meditate}

Do you know I think this song may just have struck a chord with me?

Well, it finally happened. After 4 years of listening to RP nearly every work day, Jethro Tull - whose music I cannot stand (yeah, yeah, yeah, I know I'm in the minority here) and causes me to mute the sound on my computer - was followed by Patty Griffin - whose music I love (and the fact that I can hear a deep track once/day from RP is one of my favorite things about RP).  A true lesson in "take the good with the bad".  Touche, Bill & Rebecca, Touche.

Oh - and thanks for adding "You'll Remember" to the rotation. 

 

If you haven't found it yet, try pressing the "PSD" button when a tune you dislike comes along.  Play Something Different gives Radio Paradise another chance for the duration of one song.  Cool!

I used to use Cowboy Junkie's first album, the one recorded in the church. It was recorded directly onto digital, with one microphone, so a good system really reveals the sense of space, i.e. the size of the church itself.

Patty Griffin - "Up To The Mountain" (MLK Tribute) Live
Up to the Mountain (MLK Song)" is a contemporary folk song written by Patty Griffin. The song touches upon emotions surrounding Martin Luther King, Jr.'s famous 1968 "I've Been to the Mountaintop" speech, given the day before his assassination in Memphis, Tennessee. Originally recorded by Solomon Burke in 2006 and Griffin herself in 2007.  

"It's unfortunate that you miss the spirit of Patty Griffin. "Most people" aren't looking for the artistry and honesty she has to offer. I have a feeling I'm not alone in saying I'd rather listen to her push a raw, soulful, self-written melody out her nose than listen to a coached pop princess ace the cold technicalities of a meaningless lyric written by a stranger to feed, not the heart, but the machine."

I went up to the mountain
Because you asked me to
Up over the clouds
To where the sky was blue
I could see all around me
Everywhere
I could see all around me
Everywhere

Sometimes I feel like
I've never been nothing but tired
And I'll be walking
Till the day I expire
Sometimes I lay down
No more can I do
But then I go on again
Because you ask me to

Some days I look down
Afraid I will fall
And though the sun shines
I see nothing at all
Then I hear your sweet voice, oh
Oh, come and then go, come and then go
Telling me softly
You love me so

The peaceful valley
Just over the mountain
The peaceful valley
Few come to know
I may never get there
Ever in this lifetime
But sooner or later
It's there I will go
Sooner or later
It's there I will go

If there is ant doubt that this women is the best female singer/songwriter
of our generation, this completely proves it.  Patty Smith is a close second
for song writing and Aretha Franklin for singing but for both, she is the one!

Since I can't stay away from the trainwreck that is this thread...  yes.  it's a very nice song.  yes, that last note is flat. No, it's not an accident.  This song, and the rest of the album, is very carefully produced.  even if you think that Patty can't sing, maybe you should consider the fact that this is not a live abum.  There were many takes, and the producer signed off on the final cut.  Clearly Ms Griffith can hit the notes.  She's a professional and an artist, as is her producer.  Let it go.

(since i'm still listening, i'll point out that Joe Jackson has made a career out of singing flat)

Ok, now that I have THAT out of the way... how short IS this song??   Hm... Amazon says 2:09.  seems shorter than that.
I feel like I notice it, and it's gone.  somehow I don't think that's an accident.

If by "soul" you mean "not being able to sing in tune", then yes - you're right.

DISCLAIMER: I have no idea how autotune works or how it would affect this song or any other song. I just know I'm getting chills down my spine - and not the good kind - every time I hear Griffin try to hit those last notes. If autotune makes the voice sound like a can of beans then there's that little thing called "re-take". And if you're unable to hit the note on X re-takes then carpentry is probably a better career choice - at least for the listener.

I've had just the opposite reaction. I must admit, I didn't OWN any Patty until a couple of months ago, when I bought 3 of her CDs. I fell in LOVE with this one. A couple of the songs are downright SPIRITUAL. I loved the other CDs, but this one was "over the top" for me! I haven't heard anything I DIDN'T like from Patty.

Wow...She is right at the top of her craft, isn't she? I believe this album is her masterpiece.
Though a rabid fan of all things Patty Griffin, I have to disagree. Her last two albums have, for me, represented incremental declines in her growth as an artist. They are recastings of a sound she developed and has apparently decided to stick with, but her preceding albums each showed her trying new things and going in different directions, always with exceptional talent, and with poise. She wasn't afraid to be sloppy and see what happened. This album isn't we well-produced as others, but overall this and the last have more finish or polish to them--but polish is a superficial thing. Don't get me wrong, I love this album, and its predecessor. Just not as much as I love and admire earlier ones. It's perfectly fine and normal and okay with me for an artist to get more settled into a type once she's established, but I got a richer kind of pleasure out of the surprises that came from her earlier work.

I hate the song's ending tho'. It just ruins the whole thing for me.
I love Patty Griffin... love, love, love, love love - can't stand, especially can't stand, the end of this song. - It makes me think of a beautiful arching pole vault... and then the bar falls off and hits me in the head.
