(When It) Don't Come Easy Lyrics
This 14 year-old song popped up on a Spotify playlist and its easy beauty wounded me. She describes in a few lines, really, all we need in a deep relationship. A commitment to be there, even go find you, if needed. Most importantly, this promise continues WHEN things don’t get easy. Stuff WILL happen and you just move through it.
Where, to me, this song gains meaning is if both partners feel the same way. If just her, then the song is nothing more than a mother’s lullaby. If a mutual, simple promise, then it offers a mindset to overcome the things that might keep one from getting home.
While I’m not a big fan of country music, this feels like a near perfect song.
I love this song, Patty's vocals are amazing and the lyrics are beautiful. What more can I say?
patty has an amazing voice..hits home every time. and all I can say is thank God we have music to keep our sanity and from falling over the edge.
I just love this song. Everything you both said. She really hits to the heart of it in this one, time going from a crawl to a run, regrets for love lost, love unknown, just reaching out, we all want and need to be loved, even if we never had or know how and this carries on from age to age. When the last bird falls and the last siren sounds someone will say something that's been said before. It's only love we're looking for. It's like a crystal truth. Sometimes Patty Griffin listening to you is something deeply spritual. Lol, I think I'm in love.
I first heard this song when Mellissa Ethridge sang it with you, during a time my daughter was getting back in a relationship I felt/feel is not good for her. (long story of course but they got back together after having bad legal troubles. I expressed my feelings (to no avail, they continued) I thought of the two of them. They tell me things are different. at the end of the day I shared this song to them and advised them to remember hard times come and go but if the love is true turn it into strength, because your path now is difficult and... " It don't come easy." just be gentle with your feelings yet strong for each other. Thank you Patty I am a true fan! now you have 2 more!!!
