10 is not nearly high enough for this song, this voice.  Perfect.

I have to rate this as high as can be!  Love it so much, and just got up to sway and sing, as I always do when they play it.  So beautiful.

This amazing voice/heart at the end of ANOTHER set RP has outdone Itself ... embarrassing to be gushing all the time but Holy Moly. Bill's work is 11. Turn it up. First thing this morning and Life Is Better With Radio Paradise. .... And now Hendrix Castles Made Of Sand. Holy Shit.

Debbie, Claudia, Phyllis, Terry, Mom - too many more to list.  This song breaks me.  Deserves more than a mere 10.

Sorry for your loss. This song distills so much emotion into a few painful minutes, it's hard to listen to. But I do. I stop and listen every time.

Was lucky enough to have tickets to see Patty's solo acoustic show the other night at a small theater in Duluth Georgia.  Absolutely unbelievable.

The worst part of it all is, our friend Cynaera passed away a few months ago. I don't think she ever got to see Patty play.

This song has always brought me close to tears, but now it has extra impact.
 
And romeotuma often posts a tribute to her (scroll down a bit)...

I went into Wikipedia and gave credit to Patty Griffin for this song as a "tribute" to Jeff. It might not be true, but an awful lot of people on RP seem to think so, and I suspect people who've seen Patty live heard what she said about what she was thinking when she wrote this song.

I see a lot of comments from Oct 6th. This year that date marked 11 years since my best friend, a great young drummer, died in a car accident. This song always makes my think of him. RIP Josh.

Agreed.  I used to think the studio version was the 'perfect' song....  Now this is.

One of the few times that the live version is better than the studio...and the studio version is a 9!
