If this doesn't move you I suggest you seek help.I fiirst heard it in '76 and fell in love with her voice. Every time I hear it I choke up. The only voice that comes near is Iris DeMent. Nobody can cover this, nobody!
emmylou coming to kentucky, jan 29 cant wait kentucky oprea house great place saw steve earle there awhile back see another great no one can even come close to her.well maybe linda ronstadt.
Emmylou wrote this soon after the drug/alcohol overdose of her singing partner, Gram Parsons in 1973. You're privileged to have heard this - Gram's death hit her hard and she does not sing this song very often. This is the last song he ever wrote and they sang it together : "In my hour of darkness, in my time of need, Oh Lord grant me vision, Oh Lord grant me speed."
I don't want to hear a love song I got on this airplane just to fly And I know there's life below But all that it can show me Is the prairie and the sky And I don't want to hear a sad story ...
"...and the hardest part is knowing I'll survive." Truer words have never been spoken. I've cursed every breath I've taken since I lost my sweet daughter. JSM 6/19/87-9/4/07
Sorry to hear about your loss, ma'am. This song has to be the saddest ever. It always brings tears to my eyes too, and reminds me of loved ones gone before us.
But let's be thankful for angels like Emmylou who bring us joy through their music.

Did you say amazing?
Don't you have another word for it?
How come you didn't think of perfect heaven and perfect hell?
How come you didn't think of perfection?
