[nakada1996]

I'm Asian and I'm fuckin love this song !!!!

[blewi1]

Wonderful - thank you for performing Alison. You are amazing.

[FRANCECHILD]

MAY THE LIGHT OF GODS MUSIC KEEP US FAITHFUL IN JESUS. AMEN

[rubbersole79]

Without rival or equal

[Eagle07111]

Alison adds happyness to life. Have a new girlfried also, she is a little Doxie from the county animal shelter. Yes, life is good.

[dizzyred101]

Beautiful

[alexisrg7]

I Simply Love this song!

[robharding1957]

ive just found this gem,,,,and she is mind blowing in every way,,,,,wow where have l been,,

[lauramcvey32]

Shes an amazing singer. Ive listened to her since I was little.

[caxido]

whats the best AK album for me to buy?

[4kane]

@caxido Alison released a "Best Of..." album back in October. I'd start with that. You won't be disappointed!

Of her bluegrass albums, I prefer the old-school "I've Got That Old Feeling".

[BrownEyedGirl620]

@caxido There is no way to choose.Anything she has ever put out is exceptional. You could not go wrong with any choice. Just pick one-maybe her new Paper Airplane, and keep adding!

[miragemammaries]

@txjignpig Yeah, she just gets more beautiful as time goes on. She was certainly a good looking girl when she first started out, but today, wow, she's a total knockout. I saw AKUS perform live a few years back, and my girlfriend and I were in the tenth row close to center. Alison really sings to the audience and makes lots of eye contact. She just has this easy going sort of style that's very engaging. She also has a wicked sense of humor. And of course, their performance was just flawless.

[TheTrollMallet]

Alison is by far my favorite female singer. And I like her better with long hair. But believe me the short hair Alison is just as beautiful.

[whatanightmare1]

Her voice in this performance, this song, has tears streaming down my face. When music does that to a person, it doesn't get much better.

I agree she keeps getting better with age, too. Wonder what her secret is?

[cvframer]

absolutely.

[tercol44]

This girl's achingly beautiful voice just tugs at my heart every time I hear her singing, what a gifted lady. Thank God for music and talent like this to offset all the wailing talentless wannabees that pollute the airwaves and our ears so much of the time. The likes of Alison Krauss and Eva Cassidy restore your faith! Terry C.

[cityboy0924]

I think that I need to add a request to my will that when they have my funeral we just play Alison Kraus songs so that my friends & family can know these are the words I want them to remember me by. Her voice & songs will fill their hearts with my love. And that will be my gift to them.

[starr522]

@txjignpig No my friend it' s not just you. Allison does indeed get finer with age. Yes, like a fine wine.

[wobrien007]

Never heard this song before but I instantly like it because Alison is singing it. There's so much crap in modern country music - too much is sugary pop passed off as country. You can always hear the soul in her songs. If Faith Hill did this song it would suck.

[96Wiggle]

Perfection , the voice of an Angel.

[stargazer99019]

Truly the voice of an angel....

[breffnipark]

Awsome woman ...

Awsome Voice ! :)

[dondro79]

I always come to this song, and it makes me thank god for AKUS....=)

[cksilverado1]

If Jesus wept, his tears would look and sound like this woman.

[olLonely]

I heard Alison sing this at an outdoor concert in the foothills of western CT. A wonderful song written by Sarah Siskind about her grandparents. Alison said she cried when she heard it the first time, and asked if she could record it. No one could have done it better justice.

[surprisevisitor2000]

@olLonely Yep - Sarah wrote an amazing some. Good that AK always gives the credit where it goes. I think the MC here gave the impression that AK wrote it about her own family. Oh well, as long as Sarah gets some good royalty checks in the mail, it can't be all bad. Still, it was Sarah's song and it's really nice.

[alienhuman]

sklldindivz ... okbulder said men. You may sit down.

[buchananstreet]

@bbtb01 , BLUEGRASS AIN´T " COUNTRY MUSIC"

[coowitit]

I think she has what is called absolute/perfect pitch. Which is this rare ability that has to do with notes and sounds.

[swelsher]

@coowitit Absolute pitch and perfect pitch are very different. With perfect pitch, you can identify any note in the western chromatic scale, regardless of context. With absolute pitch, you have total awareness of all frequencies, meaning you can tell if a note is a cent or even a couple hertz off. Perfect pitch is extremely useful as a musician, but absolute pitch can be debilitating. I have heard of cases where music is like nails on a chalkboard because of minor frequency fluctuations.

[coowitit]

LOL her random sound signal in the middle of this performance is so funny to me, but

some reason I love it tho.

[awizzard4you]

I hear her and it just melts me inside every time :X , she has such a beautiful voice. Her an Union Station maybe not so good combination it is not for me to say anyway :)

[JPacGibson]

I love you. No, I really do.

[msuagtech75]

Such a beautiful, pure voice! She ranks right up there with Karen Carpenter-- an outstanding voice and a sweet, wonderful personality!! One in a million!

[wsprtales]

broly1718, I couldn't agree more. Alison Krauss is right between Alice in Chains and Anthrax on my Zune. Variety is the spice of life and any music collection must have her in it!

[broly1718]

As someone who is a HUGE fan of most things metal (gorguts, today is the day, etc..) and even old school Wu-Tang...

I can listen to this lady sing all day any day. People who hate on bluegrass because they listen to metal, or hip hop or whatever, do not make any sense to me.

To each his own i guess.

[RobertMidian]

I wish wish wish wish she would sing just one of my songs. Alison thank you!

[andretti1950]

du bist für mich die grösste sängerin!!!

[samueladams1775]

Alison is the best Country Music offers. She is flawless. 

[thunder2688]

FLAWLESS... if i only had the sound and not the video or her introduction by that freakin hottie by the way, and the applause afterward i would believe it were a studio version

[IantheWoodcraftsman]

The voice of an angel. I love her, too!!

[Ikaika1955]

NIce song, I would have liked to hear a banjo walking lightly through it, though :) .

[katrina630G]

Gorgeous, as always - the most amazing singer/musician around today!

[Palestreams]

Alison's voice never fails to send a shiver through my soul

[jjbaccus1969]

really there are four people that don't love alison and union station

[thebluegrasslegacy]

Happy Birthday Alison Krauss. There is no way to repay you the tremendous debt we owe you, your colleagues & associates, for the music you have created, and how it has touched us, helped us, diminished our sorrow, raised our hopes, brought reflection and joy into our world and hearts. So Happy Birthday may not cut it, but hopefully you will know what we mean; We love you simply.

[mindheartspeak]

@thebluegrasslegacy very well said. carry on alison. am always 100% behind you. keep well. :-)

[mimsy97]

love this---makes me think of Daddy!

[niteboatermusic]

another beatiful number, wow.

[mindheartspeak]

i just can.t help watching this over and over :-) wowww!!! what a nice way to start a day with... always a pleasant experience watching and listening to alison :-)

[h0neyw1ne]

"She got her 4 nominations tonight the old fashion way -- she earned 'em." Of course SHE did, but what is that saying about the rest of the industry? Funny..

[TheMrv66]

Don't forget about her technically proficient that is entitled Union Station!!

[kurt9399]

Nice!

[kirk42011]

Probably just absolutely the best singer  ever Voice of an angel

[chauhpham]

simply...wow...alison krauss..ladies and gentlemen..wow...(clap.clap.cl­ap.clap.clap.clap)

[GUMP1963]

An Angel here on Earth.

[aniflikgirl]

If the most perfect crystal in all the world had a voice, and could sing to the world. It would be jealous of her. 

[DoctorMate]

@aniflikgirl Poetry... beautifully rendered words for the sublime reach of the voice and the feeling that must lay softly in the heart of Alison Krauss.

[LUCKYJACKSON88]

Simply Awesome!!!

[josejoeyolivarez]

now thats how you sing a song!!!!!

[lectricfence1]

flawless ....  yep

[KernelThread]

Fell in love with this beautiful angle the second I heard her voice

[kinged123]

her voice makes me tear... I caught a glimpse pf the simple life she speaks of. I want it back

[cksilverado1]

@kinged123 Very nice.

I too thought of a simpler life not so long ago.

[fenderuss]

...the sound of those amazing musicians...behind that unbelievable voice...

...when a musical performance brings a person to tears...

...the angels are smiling

[fricco1994]

in my mind she is one of the best female singers in the world

[runninglarge]

I don't know if it's her eyes or her voice, but there is something about her that makes me want to give her all my money.

[sparky253199]

I can agree!!! Not that she s needs money though.

[MrDrummer1992]

yea i agree i be one of those put ur self down all the time kind of girls..and be a wild one..a lot of us guys r looking for a lady not a women..theres a lot of women out there but very few of those women r ladies..i know theres a lot of guys that r jerks but theres the guys that r gentle men..quit going for the guys that u know r gonna keep leaving u and stuff like that..go for that guy that cares and would really give his life for u

[wheelnut059]

Hey girls, if you want to get a good man, be a lady like Alison. She deserves the best.

[wheelnut059]

As one guy already said, Alison could sing the manual to a sewage pump and have us all gasping in awe. Love her work and her friends in the band.

[jsmcguireIII]

I love Alison, and my wife is okay with that. Her voice just crushed me.

[dondro79]

This is such a beautiful song, i cant help but listen to it over and over...love Alison

[yleitner]

OH MY GOD! Allison is Simply the best singer I HAVE EVER HEARD IN MY LIFE!! She does it so effortlessly!! She is simply AMAZING!! WE LOVE YOU ALLISON KRAUSS!!! WE LOVE YOU!!

[K31swiss]

flawlessly is an understatement

[johwa673]

Who is that introducing the performance?

[YaleCollegeDude]

I think It's Sara Evans.

[StudyRocker]

Genau so.

[andretti1950]

absoluter wahnsinn!habe in meinem ganzen leben wirklich noch nie so eine schöne u.klare stimme gehört,und dann noch die super musik dazu--echt hammer!

[dondro79]

God give me a simple love that that too...

[JPacGibson]

Please marry me, Alison. You're an angel. :)

[97669]

Alison is simply the best!

[okbuilder]

How can a reasonable man not fall in love with this sweet angel?

[jtomasik]

@okbuilder Because that reasonable man might already have his own angel.

[bravoboy1234]

@jtomasik hahaha....still it is a good song man.

[sklldindivz]

@okbuilder

hmmm...maybe because most "reasonable men" on youtube (rofl) are probably not as old as yourself, and we prefer younger women to someone who is or at least looks like she is 40+ and has has plastic surgery.

=]

[okbuilder]

@sklldindivz cool then. no matter your opinion, she is still an angel.

[jgbullat]

@okbuilder

Don't ask don't tell!

[kennethrobinson11231]

@okbuilder They can't

[toesbo]

so peacfull and carming

[293dudley]

Allison, if your reading this, i love you. I am single for the moment and would to take you out for cookies and milk or something. call me !

[ianwalkerdownland]

@293dudley  In your dreams pal

[293dudley]

@ianwalkerdownland she'll be in my dreams along with your mother PAL

[singasongroma]

i am simple love her

[luella812]

Alison Krauss can sing any genre and it'll be gold. ^_^

[Musicgleek02]

i love allison krauss so much but she has went country and well im a bluegrass person sooo.....its just not as good 4 me!

[Sointula2]

Well, Musicgleek02 you are not alone - it's how bluegrass got it's simple-minded aura by outsiders. But I'd imagine Alison Krauss has drawn a thousand times more people into bluegrass appreciation than the purists have kept out. This will change it - but then everything changes, doesn't it.

[akus1985]

I get depressed when I see Alison without her fiddle.

[wheelnut059]

Stop your bullshit you lemons. This woman and her group are the finest thing for years. Enjoy it and compliment them, or just fuck off somewhere else. P.S. I am not alone in my views.

[andretti1950]

alison,i love jou

[marisa82277]

would you all quit bickering about who the song is for, blah, blah, blah. who the F cares? it is a lovely song sung by a magnifcent singer! so please just shut up and enjoy it! geez!

[jojogi42]

cynocephalusw WTF u talking about? europe has hatred for the usa so get over yourself usa will always unite when we have to do a task...now go to ur nazi meeting

[rulerwithcounsel]

Cant hide a light on a hill. She is a witness to our Saviour; Jesus.

[theslowevo]

I saw her play this for the Obama campaign...amazing

[UndercoverCracker]

Eww did she really play this for the Obama campaign.......Ive lost some respect.

[theslowevo]

She is from Illinois. Of course she did. It was very moving. Be respectful

[UndercoverCracker]

Its way less moving is she sang it for him!

[cynocephalusw]

For me as an European it lookslike America is falling apart in hatred and sadness.

[UndercoverCracker]

You obviously are slightly retarded if you think that..

[cynocephalusw]

Don't try to escape into banalaty. The two big fractions in the USA are obvious.

[UndercoverCracker]

Just because people dont share the same views doesnt mean its falling apart.....

[cynocephalusw]

Accepted!

[757optim]

This is why the Founders knew better than to let women vote! : )

[theslowevo]

Why is that?

[dondro79]

@757optim Nancy Pellosi is the only reason, other wise thats a bad comment lol

[757optim]

Stats show Clinton and nObama would not have been elected, save for the female vote. 'Nuff said.

[Sumer61]

@757optim

What do any of your comments have to do with this music! Go rant someplace else!

[Sumer61]

@757optim

o piss off!

[gerky1187]

Most beautiful voice ive ever heard

[FreeBritain1]

Beautiful. Thank you.

[FoulOwl]

I'd like to see some of these cookie cutter pop tarts in mainstream pull something like this off.

[ritlagaboma]

Elle est adorable

[thedarkspleen]

wonderful..............as usual

[dawahl12]

When I saw her and Union Station in concert 4 years ago I was floored at how flawless they were. They are amazing.

[quitepleased]

She is so incredible

[andretti1950]

habe noch nie so eine bezaubernde stimme gehört,mit sehr viel gefühl.

[MsAnonymous1994]

All of her dresses are like amazing.

[ThoriumRex]

Allison Krauss Could sing the manual to a sewage pump, and make it sound like a Grammy.

[YuraJagov]

I totally agree with that statement and that sums it all up.

[wheelnut059]

Well said friend, I am typing through tears of laughter, but your so right.

[antred11]

Hehe, well said.

[ThoriumRex]

I don't even really Like country Music, But Allison Krauss is a Vocal Freak of nature, One in a Billion.

I always have to stop by and listen to the voice in which all others are judged.

[81eagle]

Give you thumbs up for that!!!!

[JoMoMoss]

Just FANTASTIC!...always liked he music...always will.

[piehunt]

Perfect. Just perfect. :)

[smacknasty666]

7 CMA's AND 20 GRAMMYS........the angels voices that blows down the noise, and creates heaven where ever she sings. she is GODS gift to the WORLD.

[luckypenny482]

I'm speechless. How can a performance be more perfect than this? She's beautiful, the song is beautiful, and the home movies are sweet as honey.

[asceses]

Amazing voice and song

[bayoutech555]

I am learning to fingerpick this song in E

Looking for the chords for the chorus after A-could be B or Bm if anyone can help

[manictatter]

That sounds like a major to a minor -- A to Am.

[jswdolphin]

If this makes you cry then you don't need to listen to, A living prayer - Allison Krauss I suggest you do listen sometimes its worth a good cry!

[chad1790]

my dream women is just like her

[VJadeY]

[ihatewhiggersII]

Such an amazing voice Alison Krauss has OMG!!!

[RizziWizzi]

[Mandoman111089]

its cool to see the union station guys change it up a bit.......Ron on electric guitar, Barry on Bass Guitar, ect.

[zmoyo]

love this song makes me cry everytime. Awesome!!

[GodsFavoriteBassPlyr]

One of the Great Talents of our Age.

She and Ricky Skaggs came along and REALLY pulled Bluegrass and Mountain Music into the next incarnation.

Much respect to them.

[zebda23]

[softballchikee]
