Very tough to cover a Patty Griffin song. Lovely interpretation, but the original is bliss.

WTF? There is no auto-tune on her voice... the only thing that sounds "artificial" is her singing backup to herself on the chorus, doubling and tripling her voice.
The final verse is also artificial.

Yes, of course you are.

Agreed. I struggle to see where the pretense is in the last verse. It's a lovely addition.
It presumes to know the heart of the artist. It's cheap and exploitative.

Patty's song was personal. Now it feels political. Write your own political song rather than rewrite someone else's deeply personal song. It's like when a stranger takes an interest in you and is very pleasant and friendly, and then starts talking to you about accepting Jesus as your savior. It betrays the humanity of the original conversation. It's cheap and shallow. I respectfully re-assert that this is a pretentious and shallow reinterpretation. I don't give a damn that the cheerleading fluffheads will disagree.

Aww...c'mon. The addition of the pretentious, incongruous final verse ruins the subtle beauty of this Patty Griffin song.

beautiful - simply beautiful
Isn't this a Patti Griffin song?
It isn't often that music raises a tear in this office, but this one does. Superb.
Another of the recent new (to me) songs on RP that after immediately catching my attention and earning a 7 from me, after repeated listens I feel compelled to make it an 8. Love the mix even more these days!
Me likey. Refreshingly simple!

This is a cover of Patty's song.

nice but too much auto-tune on her voice... I'm sure she doesn't even need it ...

Holy cow, this is good. I've never heard Patty Griffin's original, it's not in RP's catalog.
Madi's voice is just enough like Patty's that one imagines them doing a duet. I wonder if they'd be interested. It would be heavenly.
So sparse, so pure, just lovely. Would like to hear more of this.
Heard this here yesterday and sent it to my friends. Heard it again and decided I love this song. Thanks, RP.
EDIT: I wanted to read the lyrics and noticed that Madi and friends had added a powerful final verse to Patti Griffin's song. I found this in a Youtube comment: "... per a pitchfork article... that verse was written by Madi Diaz with her best friend Morgan Elizabeth Peirce." Makes a great song greater.

What's with all the new RP additions being added without lyrics or without a publication year?
Very tough to cover a Patty Griffin song. Lovely interpretation, but the original is bliss.
Depeche Mode from this year sounds just like, well, Depeche Mode. That was followed up by this number, sounding very much like Joni Mitchell from the seventies. I'm caught in a time warp and loving it!
Am I the first commenter? Cool!
Nope, missed by eleven seconds!

I think this is a lovely little song..
Bit puzzled by yr writeup RP. I cant see this album mentioned.
