Nanci Caroline Griffith (born July 6, 1953) is an American singer, guitarist, and songwriter, reared in Austin, Texas, who currently lives in Nashville, Tennessee.
Griffith was born in Seguin, Texas, and her career has spanned a variety of musical genres, predominantly country, folk, and what she terms "folkabilly." Griffith won a Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Folk Album in 1994 for her recording, Other Voices, Other Rooms. This album features Griffith covering the songs of artists who are her major influences. One of her better-known songs is "From a Distance," which was written and composed by Julie Gold, although Bette Midler's version achieved greater commercial success. Similarly, other artists have occasionally achieved greater success than Griffith herself with songs that she wrote or co-wrote. For example, Kathy Mattea had a country music top five hit with a 1986 cover of Griffith's "Love at the Five and Dime" and Suzy Bogguss had one of her largest hits with Griffith's and Tom Russell's "Outbound Plane".
À Distance is the fifth album by Canadian singer Marie-Chantal Toupin. It was released on September 30, 2008.

"From a Distance" is a song written in 1987 by American singer-songwriter Julie Gold. Gold was working as a secretary at the time for Home Box Office and writing songs in her free time. Gold's friend, Christine Lavin, introduced the song to Nanci Griffith who first recorded it for her 1987 album, Lone Star State of Mind. It quickly became a favorite of Griffith's fans around the world.
The song also became subject of many interpretations with the most famous being the Bette Midler version.
Julie Gold has stated that she believes in an immanent and beneficent God, and also thinks that people have a right to interpret the song any way they want, as with all art. She has stated that the song is about the difference between how things appear to be and how they really are.
Nanci Griffith recorded it first in her 1987 album Lone Star State of Mind. Nanci Griffith told the story that in 1986, a songwriter Julie Gold had sent her the song asking Griffith what was wrong with it, as Gold had sent it to so many artists and record companies but none wanted to record it. Griffith had answered that she loved it so much the moment she heard it and that she really wanted to hear it performed personally by Gold herself. Thus was established a good relationship between the two with Griffith being the first to record "From a Distance" in her Lone Star State of Mind album. Although the Griffith version became very popular, her version failed to chart until Bette Midler covered it.
From a Distance is a compilation album released in 1997 by Elaine Paige.
It is primarily a compilation of material from Love Can Do That and Romance & the Stage, but also includes "One Night in Bangkok" and "Bohemian Rhapsody" from Elaine Paige in Concert, as well as "From a Distance", recorded during the Love Can Do That sessions but previously only released as a B-side.
The album was released on BMG's Camden label.

This song was written by the talented songwriter Julie Gold. Bette Midler had a fairly large hit with it, but I prefer Nanci Griffith's version. This is from her 1987 album "Lone Star State Of Mind" (wow, has it been 25 years?), an album loaded with great songs, most of them written or co-written by Nanci. I believe it''s Mac MacAnally singing the nice harmony. And perhaps playing acoustic guitar. Mark O'Connor put down his fiddle and played lead acoustic guitar and mandola. John Jarvis on piano. Not sure who else was involved on this track. This album has the best of the best musicians: John Catchings, Bela Fleck, Emory Gordy, Lloyd Green, Roy Huskey, Jr., and other talented musicians.

From a distance the world looks blue and green
And the snow-capped mountains white
From a distance the ocean meets the stream
And the eagle takes to flight
From a distance there is harmony
And it echoes through the land
It's the voice of hope, it's the voice of peace
It's the voice of every man
From a distance we all have enough
And no one is in need
There are no guns, no bombs, no diseases
No hungry mouths to feed
From a distance we are instruments
Marching in a common band
Playing songs of home, playing songs of peace
They're the songs of every man
God is watching us, God is watching us
God is watching us from a distance
From a distance you look like my friend
Even though we are at war
From a distance I can't comprehend
What all this war is for
From a distance there is harmony
And it echoes through the land
It's the hope of hopes, it's the love of loves
It's the heart of every man
It's the hope of hopes, It's the love of loves
