Wailin' Jennys, The - By Way Of Sorrow Lyrics
You've been taken by the wind
You have known the kiss of sorrow
Doors that would not take you in
Outcast and a stranger
You have come by way of tears
But you'll reach your destiny
Meant to find you all these years
Meant to find you all these years
You have drunk a bitter wine
With none to be your comfort
You who once were left behind
You will be welcome at love's table
You have come by way of tears
But you'll reach your destiny
Meant to find you all these years
Meant to find you all these years
All the nights that joy has slept
Will awake to days of laughter
All the tears that you have wept
We'll dance in freedom ever after
You have come by way of sorrow
You have come by way of tears
But you'll reach your destiny
Meant to find you all these years
Meant to find you all these
You have come by way of sorrow
You have come by way of tears
You'll reach your destiny
Meant to find you all these years
Meant to find you all these years

Written by Julie Miller - one of my favorite songs
Thank you for posting this amazing song sung so gently and wisely!
Oh these beautiful sweet voices ~

Muy Linda canción @marcuscristofer
My Dear Sister Joy and me used to sing these kind of soft and hurting songs.... To You Sister 🌹🍷
gotta love white people
Yeah, they didn't need a drum machine or twerking to create a nice song.
Instantly stirred my soul and moved me to tears of profound emotion and beauty. Thank you with all my heart for this gift...it's been years since any music has touched me this deeply. <3
Angelic..great mandolin too..Iove these ladies..."and to find you all these years"
Im sitting here listening and in deep grief after our daughter Shauna passed... the words, the voices speak to my broken heart...
I am truly sorry for your loss. May your family's grief be supported by unconditional love.
I lost my daughter last year Alana and Sue. She was 26. This does speak to the heart
There is no such thing as a 'bad' version of this Julie Miller TREASURE, but this is one of the best, and most heartfelt, as much as I ADORE Cry Cry Cry's version with Larry Campbell's phenomenal fiddle playing as accompaniment. ;)
These women are BEYOND amazing, both vocally AND instrumentally, and their harmonies sound as if they were BORN to sing together!!
You've been taken by the wind
You have known the kiss of sorrows
Doors that would not take you in
Outcast and a stranger
You have come by way of sorrow you have come by way of tears
But you'll reach your destiny meant to find you all these years
Meant to find you all these years
You have drunk a bitter wine with none to be your comfort
You who once were left behind will be welcome at love's tables
You have come by way of sorrow you have come by way of tears
But you'll reach your destiny
Meant to find you all these years
Meant to find you all these years
You will one day come to know
You will one day come to know
All the nights that joy has slept will awake to days of laughter
Eone the tears that you have wept
You'll dance in freedom ever after
You have come by way of sorrow you have come by way of tears
But you'll reach your destiny
Meant to find you all these years
Meant to find you all these years
They were highly esteemed at the Celtic Connections festival in Glasgow in years gone by and rightly so too. There is a clear Celtic root to there sound and breath-takingly new-wordly. They are awesome!
Grammy quality as far as I am concerned. One of my top 5 fav's I am listening to, they are
a voices of heaven!!!
Only just discovered the Jennys and my life is much better for it!
They sold out their concert in Middletown Ohio tonight!
I've listened to this youtube playlist so many times. Deeply calming when work and life get stressful.
Absolutely gorgeous!
You've been taken by the wind

You have come by way of sorrow
You have come by way of tears
But you'll reach your destiny
Meant to find you all these years
Meant to find you all these years
You have drunk a bitter wine
With none to be your comfort
You who once were left behind
Will be welcome at love's table
You have come by way of sorrow
You have come by way of tears
But you'll reach your destiny
Meant to find you all these years
Meant to find you all these years
All the nights that joy has slept
Will awake to days of laughter
Gone the tears that you have wept
You'll dance in freedom ever after
You have come by way of sorrow
You have come by way of tears
But you'll reach your destiny
Meant to find you all these years
Meant to find you all these years
This is REAL folk country music, not that crap that's played on 99% of radio.
Who listens to FM radio anymore? I haven't heard FM in probably 12 years or more.
Hauntingly beautiful! How about those harmonies? So sweet...
YES, 'haunting' is the best description.
You are not human if you don't get 'chicken skin' while listening to this version of one of the best songs EVER written!!
THANK YOU Julie for writing this ode to hope and redemption, and THANK YOU Jennys for covering it so purely!!!!
Hey thanks for the tips guys I appreciate it. I have a droid ultra and tried to somehow purchase the song through I tunes but didn't work. I have also tried the URL you tube trick either I'm doing it wrong or well I'm probably doing it wrong cause no luck. Thanks again guys. These gals are amazing.
Beautiful song and singers. I'm her fan now :)
IN MY MOST DOWN MOMENTS THESE WOMEN MAKE ME SMILE. THEY MAKE ME CONFIDENT I CAN SURVIVE
@Bronwen Davie @*****
Whats amazing about these three young ladies is there's no weak link, they are all tremendous singers. One of the few groups that actually makes you happy just listen to them.
SANDBERG FAMILY . SUCH FINE PERFORMER AND THE MUSIC THEY PLAY. SUCH PERFECTION. ONLY REGRET IS THAT WE HAVE ONLY RECENTLY FOUND THEM.
Awesome, I would love to buy the album/song but can't seem to find it. I'm using up all my data listening to it 20 times a day!
+tom2bl Type ss in front of the youtube url in the address then hit enter. Download whatever it is to your download folder.
+tom2bl This recording is from the Jennys' iTunes session. You should be able to find it in the iTunes store, along with the rest of their recordings. I love the Jennys and hope the rest of the world can also discover the beauty and affirmation their music possesses.
Wow! You are great and I'm so happy I stumbled across you! Haven't heard such beautiful voices in some time. I have no idea how anyone, let alone 10 people would give this a thumbs down! <3
