I need to stop watching these Nanci Griffith videos. They're gloriously sweet and resonant, but they leave me despondent at her passing. A hug to all you fellow grieving fans...

I will go to my deathbed saying: Nanci Griffith is and was one of the most under-rated, yet one of most influential, and uniquely great of an artist, in both America and Europe, over the last 4 decades. 4 decades now since her first LP release. 4 decades of soothing, moving, angelic music. Kudos to all of NG's work; over her lifetime, and for making my own life a bit gentler and kinder ~!~

I first saw Nanci in 1985 at the storied Anderson Fair in Houston. Later, I saw Nancy twice at the Barns of Wolf Trap in Washington (Nanci: "You folks in Washington sure know how to behave yourselves. Fights usually break-out in the bars I play in."). Special memories. RIP, Nanci. In heaven you will delight the angels.

My sister used this song as a background for a family picture slideshow she created for my Mother's 75th birthday. I have not heard a more fitting or beautiful tribute to the passage of time. My heart felt so many emotions listening, that I could not stop crying. I have always loved Nanci Griffith's music, but her delivery of this is beyond talent..it's inspired.

So sad that Nanci has left us. Rest in peace Nanci. I have just found this version of 'Who Knows Where the Time Goes', it's brilliant! It's a very sensitive and heart-warming cover of Sandy Denny's masterpiece; Sandy also left us way before her time. I feel privileged to have heard the musical genius of Nanci and Sandy and enjoyed it all of these years. Such talent doesn't com round too often. Love and peace.

You can't top the late, great Sandy Denny. It is impossible. Like trying to outscore Michael Jordan in his prime. But what Nanci does is to honor other great songs, bring her own thing to it, show some reverence, expose other people to the material. She's an artist, and a fantastic songwriter in her own right.

Sandy Denny was the greatest folk-rock singer of her generation and "Who Knows Where The Time Goes" is her masterpiece. No other artist can make me forget Sandy. That said, this is a very fine version that does complete justice to the original. Just take it for what it is and enjoy it.

@ChristopherWelles 3 жыл бұрын

Completely agree on Sandy Denny’s talents as a singer and songwriter. Her combination of technical mastery and emotional immediacy puts her in rarified company (Joni Mitchell on “Blue”; the cream of Eva Casady, come to mind in the folk genre). Compare Denny’s version of a trad ballad to that of her peers’: her rendition will tell for feeling and import of lyric. So I was surprised to find Griffith’s version of “Time” as the one that most spoke to me. Denny’s version seemed to rush the delivery of the lyrics - almost as if she was tired of the song (I may need to listen again to her earlier versions of the song). In the end,mall I can say is that Griffiths version moved me in a way that Denny’s didn’t.
