This song ranks up there with the likes of Leonard Cohen, Paul Simon, Joni Mitchell, Dylan, etc. Rarified air that few songwriters reach in a lifetime. Listens well and reads well off the page. That's an extremely hard feat to manage. This song does it.
i really like this song and a lot of the other ones that she did in some of her more recent albums, such as wrecking ball, red dirt girl, stumble into grace...... her earlier stuff is good, but not as good.
Last night I dreamed about you I dreamed you were a pilgrim On a highway out alone to find The mother of your children Who were still unborn and waiting In the wings of some desire Abandoned long ago Michelangelo Were you there at Armageddon Was Paris really burning Could I have been the one to pull you From the point of no returning And did I hear you calling out my name Or was it forgotten long ago Michelangelo
To Fausto: Yes, you are right. I listen to Emmylou´s music since a long time - and she ´s better since ever before. And her duets with Mark give me goose-pickles ...
To pick up on heyvaerts comment above - I'm a massive Mark Knopfler fan, but I did know about Emmylou through my parents - I have to say I think shes totally amazing here!!!
Anyone who hasn't seen Emmylou live yet, should be convinced to do now by this fabulous rendering of Michelangelo. At this concert sitting next to me was a Mark Knopfler fan who didn't know Emmylou very well.
I had to tell him to close his mouth after this song as it had dropped in pure admiration. Stunning.
beautiful...

Last night I dreamed about you
I dreamed that you were riding
On a blood red painted pony
Up where the heavens were dividing
And the angels turned to ashes
You came tumbling with them to earth
So Far below

Breathtakingly stunning. I love Mark's backing on this. The band added a very sweet edge to this Emmylou masterpiece.
