  • This is a beautiful song and I could listen to Allison sing the phone book. OTOH, I'm disappointed in whomever put together this video. Yosemite Falls, the *highest* waterfall in the U.S., is backwards!!

  • @1969hwrq "I could listen to Allison sing the phone book", yes, indeed!

  • @1969hwrq "Yosemite Falls, the *highest* waterfall in the U.S., is backwards!!"

    Wait, what?

    Is it sposed to go from the bottom to the top???

    I'm so confuseded!

  • Her voice is just amazing, god bless her!!

  • I never cry when I hear the song. It makes me happy. You folks should be happy! Your kin are with god. You should be proud of that and be glad they didn't go down the elevator.

  • My aunt passed away in January 2010 and i watched until she died later that night. It was such a beautiful day and i even asked God to take me instead but it was to late. she passed on. and i made a promise to be brave and do what i can to make my family's lives better until my time comes to. Now this song reminds me of her.

  • I love this song it reminds me of my grandma she passsed away in 2005. i myself and Wicca and don't believe inthe christan god but the song sounds beautiful and was sung very well. and anything that reminds me of my Grandma is a beautiful thing

  • Hope.....the eternal energy of Man.....T A

  • I've not heard this song, played with the banjo picking, since I was a child spending my summer's in southern Alabama and going to Revival meetings on Tuesday and Thursday nights. Ahh, I can almost feel the heat of the day, melting into humid coolness of the night.To those of you from the South and Mid West,I don't need to explain what Revival is!! You haven't heard REAL: hell fire and brimstone preached, until you've attended 1 of these, in a small country church, sans A/C during July!!

  • I have listened to this song/video probably 50 times and it touches me every time. Beautiful song and voice and appropriate video. Thank You for posting !

  • @stnmtnjohn I am touched by it so much that I have requested that it be shown at my funeral/memorial service with your permission when the time comes.

  • 1700! How can someone not like this...

  • No more, really, I can't take it.

    I hope Brad and Mike are OK.

    Give Barb my best.

  • I want to sing along, and fly away... Alisson! Your voice is wondeful! thanks!

  • JUST SUPER!!!!!!!!!!!

  • My cousin Lori passed away in 2003 and this was her favorite song. They played this song at her viewing, she had a long year battling lung cancer. I cry every time I hear this song because she died in the early morning like the song says I'll fly away in the morning. She was only 45 years old when she died and she is deeply missed.

  • @nelslonjulie27 It hurts so bad so lose someone you love. I'm sorry for your loss. You will see her again though.

  • used this song to practice for bluegrass ensemble auditions!

    Love you, Alison Krauss!

  • @holleyrj I am so sorry for your loss.  Thank you for the courage to post this. With my prayers, Trisha

  • @hopefaithfriends *hugs* He'll always be with you in spirit...just like my mammaw is with me.

  • @hopefaithfriends Our loved ones did not die. They always live in our hearts. Their spirits have simply returned unto God who gave them, just as it will be with each of us in due time. I look forward to meeting everyone in the sweet by & by, when we are in a more comforted state of Grace! But not yet, not yet..........

  • @MrSeriesCatcher wow heartless is all I can say to you

  • @hopefaithfriends My father died on 04-03-1998, and his loss is still as painful today as it was 14 years ago. The older I get the more and more I realize how mortal I am. The only way I can endure life and contemplate it's end is to think of the joy I'll feel when I see Daddy again. I am convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt, Daddy is waiting for me.

  • @hopefaithfriends My father died in 1998, and his loss is still as painful today as it was 14 years ago. The older I get the more and more I realize how mortal I am, but I rejoice at the thought my Daddy is waiting for me.

  • @hopefaithfriends I sympathise with you... Sorry bout your loss.... I too know how it is too lose a daddy. and this song fits what I would like I 'll Fly away up in heaven to meet him!!!! The journey of the loss is difficult .... But Always reember to keep his memories ALIVE!!!! It somewht helps some of the void... ;)

  • This is hands down the best version of this song.

    

  • i love this song its one of my favorites and i am a Christian and i dont listen to this often but i do love Christian songs and i believe in god he is the one that created us in the world :) and he made Adam and Eve right well its a start of something new :) and its the new beginning :) We love God if you agree with me thumbs up for the great lord <3

  • i wish she would sing it a capella, it would be even more beautiful.

  • 7th heaven.

  • this is my favorite song..it gives me hope

  • This was my Grandma's favorite song, and we played it at her funeral... She flew away.

  • fighting about religion is not a good thing. just realise that different folks come to belief by different paths, and some good people, moral kind people have no beliefe in God, and The Lord loves them too. No need to believe, no need to accept, just be kind and thoughtfull, and you will be fine in this life and the next. That's my belief, that's my testimony

  • @letlizzzzzz Amen. I wish everyone could share your perspective.

  • Everytime I listen to this song, I can't help my self from breaking down and crying. To all that have lost loved ones, we are sorry and feel your pain.

  • @jessebalisong13 It also brings tears to my eyes as my Grandma always sang it.

  • @jessebalisong13  we lost my dad on the 1-13-2012 he was 62 we love him so much we all are praying all the time it gets better but it is hard

  • @TheDarkLordLucifer Why do you not spend your writing talent on a book instead of petty meaningless YouTube comments? I see a talent here, but you're wasting it in this place.

  • This song gives me peace. Lost my husband, july 10th and my daddy Oct. 23rd, both last year. My Daddy was all about bluegrass and he loved Allison Krauss. Best fiddle player ever. Thank you for this.

  • @Katragew Sorry to read about your husband and daddy, but God, thanks for letting her have them.

  • @cjs2327 thank you :)

  • This was was my friends favorite song before he died as a Marine on April 1st 2003

  • i want this song at my funeral when i die

  • Gillian Welsh is pa prominent vocalist in this song! And there is none better than Alison.

  • I have lost people I love and treasure. I like to hear a melody and words that give me comfort.

  • To the lady who lost her sister in law, that's a beautiful and believable story.

  • Lyrics don't mean nothing.

  • @adbogo neither does your double negative.

  • Allison sings everything better than anyone else

  • @flattop44sc If angels really exist, then they sound like Alison.

  • @s743bd I was in a coma for 72 days, believe me they DO exist.

  • @DammitDrag really?! O.o WoW !! :) that's a miricale!!! Congrats on surviving!! :D

  • Really wish people would shut up declaring about how they don't believe yet enjoy this song. Not believing isn't something to be proud of. I don't go on secular songs and say "As a Christian...... yadayadayada"

  • @Whirrednerd bulldust

  • @Whirrednerd "I don't go on secular songs & say 'As a Christian... yadayada'"

    It's wonderful that u -- like most people of every faith, & of none -- have the courtesy & tact 2 show due respect 4 the performers, their art, & their audiences, and not use random YT posts as a field in which 2 hunt 4 souls 2 save.

    Unfortunately, there r always those few who feel the need 2 do so.

    That doesn't make it right for others 2 post unhelpful, off-topic comments here -- but maybe it's understandable?

  • mom it's coming up real soon and we all miss ya, but you are up in heaven and we know you are just having the time, we love ya and we will be there soon

  • Allison sings this better than anyone else!

  • one of the first blue grass songs I feel in love with!!

  • i <3 this song!!!

  • i ♥ this song♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

  • Our family doctor passed away this past week at the age of 85, they sung this song at his wake, it was a really touching tribute to a brilliant man.

  • 4 people arent on gods celstial shores

  • @jklfish They need help

  • I'm not particularly religious, but this song truly means a lot to me. O brother where art thou is an amazing movie with an amazing soundtrack that reminds me of my kin.

  • Shame this isn't titled properly. Alison's obviously great, but Gillian Welch is actually singing lead here. That woman is underpraised!

  • Youtube is the greatest!

  • @rlsain No, God is!

  • To the so called atheists. How can you look at the scenes in this video and proclaim that there isn't a power greater than us that created this wonderful world?

  • @talahitime dear talahitime i am a atheist and i love this song because my grandpa sang this to me as a child. if you havent seen pictures of the universe and the many wonders of how science and nature works and maby earned a college degree in biology you can state such foolish statements hateing men who choose logic instead of blind faith. theres no need to attack people. i love this song but i would appreaciate it if you wouldnt state biaist statements on the internet. please . -jimmiwannabe-

  • I don't share the faith but I appreciate the sentiment!

  • This song reminds me so much of my "Grandpa." I miss you Papa Baker, R.I.P.

  • @WittyGirlsUnite He is in a better place now, do not worry.

  • @metalkat77 I know :) It's just hard not to miss him...

  • @WittyGirlsUnite Yes I feel you, some times I miss my grand parents to such from the side of my mother as my father, but I'm happy to know they are in a better place, they are with Jesus, carry on, god is with you.

  • @metalkat77 Thank you, so much. It means a lot to me that you say that. Thank you, God bless you

  • Rest in peace Paula my beautiful, courageous sister-in-law. Love you and miss you so much (August 5th 1970-Sept 14th 2011)

  • As an Atheist I can say that this a beautiful song. One of the better things Christianity has created in the world.

  • @Char2805Live im an Atheist as well, and this is my favorite song

  • @Char2805Live I told someone that I can enjoy a movie about Harry Potter, I can listen to a song about Jesus and bear the same amount of belief for both of them.

  • @Char2805Live Belief comes by faith, and faith by hearing the Word of God. I hope you believe someday, then you can partake of the Goodness of God. Then you shall truely know what this song means at an entirely new level. Place your faith and trust in Jesus Christ and He will reveal Himself to you. The Angels of heaven rejoice over one soul that repents. I hope it will be you. Its awesome!

  • @Char2805Live burn in hell . our wake up

    ur wake up

  • @Char2805Live id say this is methodist..

  • @Char2805Live Maybe you too will be able to find something so meaningful in your own life to create something as beautiful as this. it can come from any faith.

  • @Char2805Live REALLY?

    

  • @Char2805Live it is an amazing song! i pray God will bless you.

  • @Char2805Live If you are an atheist why listen you dummy!

  • @1970gdavis lol...

  • @Char2805Live I go to see the comment that people are hating on and come across this??? I applaud you for your respect.

  • They were playing this at my chruchs block party

  • Just a few more weary days and then, I'll fly away; To a land where joy shall never end, I'll fly away.

  • my grandma told me she wanted this song to be played when i was a little girl, im 14 now and she is still a very awesome old lady!!!!!!! so hopefully i wont be singing this soon(: <3

  • ^ GodLove Art ^ : "Peace be to all mankind through every individual."

  • @ChantillyGurl The Spirit comes on wings of music.

  • I love old-timey music :o) because it is simple and to the point <

  • Magnificent Visuals to a wonderful bluegrass Song...

    Thanks for Uploading & sharing with all on YT..

  • @stabbification the Islamic god is not the God of the Bible. Christianity and Islam and Judaism all claim Moses to be a prophet, yes, but only Christianity acknowledges Jesus' divinity. Others say Jesus was another prophet. Jews wait for the "Messiah" even tho he's come. Islams say Muhammad was the last prophet, yet Muhammad didn't perform miracles. How do you explain that? Anyone can do what Muhammad did, no one can do what Jesus did.

  • My sister-in law Paula passed away Sept 14th 2011 after a 10 year battle with cancer. She picked all the music for her funeral and this was one one of the songs she chose. The day she died my husband saw a butterfly on the window that sat there a long time. We both felt it was Paula saying goodbye

  • @ChantillyGurl Youir sister Puala is right now in the loving arms from Jesus, carry you have to catch her, in the heaven's kingdom.

  • love this and kanye's 'ill fly away' too

  • While we are here we are to build the kingdom. We are commanded to go out into the world. We must convert the muslums. They worship a tribal moon god.

  • @fairman1952 That is probably one of the most ignorant things I have ever heard.

  • @fairman1Actually Islam worships the God of Abraham..the same the Jews and Christians do.They also refer to Moses as a prophet..unfortunately it's gotten so twisted and perverted in it's teachings you end up with what we have today.BTW your comment is EXACTLY what Muslims are doing today..just in a different way lol

  • Why won't it let me play this video on my iPad?!?!

  • I can't stand the HUGE knot this song puts in my throat. It literally Rips the tears out of my Eyes.. Not sure if I love it or hate it but there's no doubt it one of the most powerful Hymns on the planet.

  • my 14 is now in heaven and can't wait to see him when I join him in heaven

  • @ziroacanin i'm sorry for your loss.....im 14 and my mom died last year and not a day goes by that i do not miss her but i know where she and the only thing that matters is that she is in heaven and she is most certainly happy......and remember:smile because he and god loves you!!

  • This song is from Hank Williams sr.

  • @hankwilliams1000 There is only one Hank Williams.

  • @hankwilliams1000

    Hank did a great version...but Albert Edward Brumley wrote it...

  • My older sister passed away 11/17/10 and not a day has gone by that i dont think about her. This is the song she chose for her funeral, her last song. We were very close when we were younger, but as we grew older, we lived two separate lives. I would give anything now to have been closer to her. I miss her everyday. I drove my dad up to KY (from Louisiana) so he and I could tell her how much we loved her. Its so hard losing a sibling, no one will ever understand. I love u Tammy. RIP big sis.

  • we are whit you. from italy

  • The four who disliked this song should be be banned from flying.

  • Kossoy sisters are angels frrom heaven

  • My boyfriend once told me that every time he listen to this song ,is thinking of me living in a farm a peaceful life..i just love it.

  • Me and my son love this video. I think this video great!

  • Ill fly away to heaven if i could.

  • Who is the lead vocal on this? I can't remember her name... Backups are Alison Krauss and Emmylou Harris right?

  • @mshallfl The lead vocal is Gillian Welch.
