It's Nanci Griffith Wednesday, everybody!!
This is another beautiful tune from her Other Voices, Other Rooms concert video. This video stands out for me partly because of the absolutely masterful backup she gets from The Blue Moon Orchestra. Particularly Mr. James Hooker on the keys. Sadly, he no longer tours with Nanci which is really too bad because his contribution is so massive. Listen to the section at 1:30 - James adds a brilliant little touch that gives me goosebumps everytime - it evokes such emotion and imagery that it's reminiscent of a film score in that moment.
The support the band gives perfectly complement Nanci's heartfelt lyrics and voice.
Where are all the dreamers... that I used know?
We used to linger beneath street lamps in the halos and the smoke
The wing and the wheel... came to carry them away
Now they all live out in the suburbs where their dreams
Are in their children at play
