Alison Krauss has a place in my heart -- and this song is the reason. When my husband lay dying from advanced cancer, this song was playing, and I'm sure it gave him comfort.
This son is part of a DVD where Yo Yo Ma teams with Edgar Meyer and Mark O'Connor to play some of the most beautiful instrumentals I've every heard. The addition of Alison and James Taylor made it all perfect. Its name: Appalachian Journey.

Such a gorgeous voice! So pure and perfect. 26 grammies - more than any other female and with no screaming, dirty language or other sherades! We need more music. I am filled with hope when I see the support a video like this receives.
@Dirtbikecowboy650 YOU'D LOOK PRETTY FUNNY WALKING AROUND WITH MY FOOT UP YOUR ASS BITCH.. NOW ASSUME THE POSITION AND SUCK ME DRY YOU FUCKN COCKSUCKN MO FOE
Don't you see... rather hear? Her voice is pure with no embellishments...barely a vibrato, no endless grace notes, runs, gimmicks. Pitch perfect, timbre matching/blending with whoever/whatever instrument she sings with. She just sings and talent finds talent. Yo Yo Ma? He is humbled to be able to play in her presence. Twenty six freaking Grammys! This woman is amazing. Can you imagine having a job where worked with her? I would probably overdose on the ecstasy!
@lockmaps You break my heart to tell me how Stephen Foster died. Do you think they get to go to heaven? Do you think they get to see it? (I"m thinking about Vincent Aan Gogh) I'm really hoping that there is a heaven, but I don't know. But, I'm really hoping (and a rainbow bridge too)
@Moonchalice I have no doubt that there's a heaven, and those who trust Jesus as their savior will be there. The Bible paints us a beautiful picture of heaven, but it also warns us of the reality of hell. We either take Jesus as our Lord and Savior, or we reject Him. That determines where we spend eternity.
@63morgan No doubt? That's quite the presumptive statement. I'm highly anti religious myself but would never make a statement such as, "I'm certain that there is no god" because I would sound like a moron. I don't know any more than any other human being and as far as I can tell no one else can ascertain metaphysical quandaries (therefore neither can you)
@ZiPolishHammer Though I realize God has not been proven or dis-proven in a scientific sense, I see great evidence for His existence. At the risk of sounding like a moron, I will again say I have no doubts, though I understand that others do. It is a joy to share my beliefs, but I cannot force them on anyone. God has spoken to me through the scriptures and has given me faith in my heart to know Him, which is proof enough for me.
Yo-Yo plays beautifully and Allison does indeed have a sweet voice which gives a wonderful warm feeling inside. However, you're watching this on a computer, you probably drive a car, use a mobile telephone, and one day you'll go to hospital to be cured of illness. ALL these things are provided by science, technology and engineering using evidence based principles which we now understand from billions of hours of
research. Don't believe in fairy stories, get a science book
Not really that, it's just when you write:"God has spoken to me through the scriptures", I get a bit worried. Sorry to cause offence, but these scriptures were devised by bronze age goat herders and have no place in the modern world.
@yotter58 Why does my confidence in the scriptures worry you? And on what do you base your statement that they were devised by goat herders? Granted, some of the writers were shepherds; but we also have King David, King Solomon, Luke (a physician), Matthew (tax collector) and Paul (law student & Pharisee, hater and persecutor of Christians who became one himself). More in next post . .
@yotter58 As for having no place in the modern world, do we not base much of today's law on the 10 commandments (do not kill, steal, give false testimony, etc.)? Would we not all benefit from Jesus' teachings to love and forgive, help the poor, and treat others as we would like to be treated? Is there no room in the world for those values? Far from being offended, I welcome the opportunity for this exchange with you.
@63morgan OK, no amount of me quoting Leviticus 20, Deuteronomy 13 or Exodus 21 v15 will shake your faith in the bible. Nor will the undoubted truth of evolution and other evidence based scientific ideas versus creatonism and superstition. Let's just agree that Allison has a truly fabulous voice and enjoy our short and only life.
@theblueangel28 as a violin maker i have to agree, good ear. i think the violin trained her voice. also note her early violin and early singing also coincide.
@ChixRChattel idk what u guys r talkin bout but lets try NOT to start the Holocost again?? k thx lol (my class just got done learning about that... it is terrible what happened)
I just heard this on an itunes radio station or whatever and i kinda liked it... i didnt hear the whole thing but i guess it is a lullaby or kinda like one idk but i like lullabies lol
Actually, it is our perception of her lip movement which confirms what we hear. It is an interesting psychological trick our brain plays with us that when the sound, say, 'bah' or 'fah' are recorded and over the top of that sound we are shown a video clip of a mouth forming the syllable ''tah'' then we ''hear'' tah. No matter what the original sound was. It's a strange phenomenon, but actually well know to psychologists. So we can easily be fooled. Even if we know it is being done.
@mh605 I was just saying that because she is a country singer and there is a hint of country in her voice on this song. I know it isn't in the same vein as Travis Tritt or Brooks and Dunn.
Global news - get him in the mountains when alone - I be going to exshaw,, pick me there, i wont say anything that you control digital divices. - new program = hmm clean what has been said already. hmm what investigation. what secret. LMAO- the secret was always you- oh hey my name is tommy, and hey you can frame me I wont say anything about your hired killers and what the tax money goes too.. ppl wont know.
Oh my! Never have I heard this Stephan Foster song; to hear it sung like this by the angelic and understated lyrical Allison Krauss...played like this by Yo Yo Ma and others of great gentle subtlety...such genius! THANK You for the post.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Me And Alison Krauss,we had such a pure love so hot and steamy. On set you can see our chemistry she just was unable to keep from oloving me so much. Too bad im such a Ladies man
A few days before my husband Tony died, we watched the video with this song. We cried together. Then the day arrived when I knew the end was very near. My sister and nephew were there with us, and Michael played this song softly as my sweet Tony breathed his last. My heart is entwined with beauty and sorrow when I hear this.
Yet another example of a talented singer with a beautiful voice who does not pay attention to the fact that the sound of her inhalations has dominated an otherwise sublime 5 minutes of music.
@metubegirl01 Such a beautiful memory for your sister. My sympathies. I had twin sisters and one has died. I was not told until two months later and the shock was overwhelming. Listening to this has brought me some peace even though only for several minutes. Her memory is haunting like Mrs. Krauss's voice.
Mtbead, I agree with Mr. Paisley, but if heaven if as it's supposed to be, we will all be gladly waiting while Allison cerrinades God. Lilyflower, yes God has given the world a gift in her voice, and thank God, she has done nothing but improve it over time. Not like these lip syncing wastes of oxyegen, i.e. Britney, etc. Allison K., in my opinion, is the greatest female vocalist of all time.
Ma is a yo-yo for betraying his culture. He should be playing an erhu to spread his diverse and rich culture against straight white christian male hegemony. By playing a cello, an oversized fiddle, he reinforces the hegemony. How sad.
I doubt Stephen Foster realized just how beautiful a song he'd written. Too bad he never heard her sing it. She is pitch perfect every time...stunning.
Alison sings with Yo Yo on three of his albums (at least), and, of course, I have all three! This has to be the most moving of the three, especially realizing that her child was about a year old when she recorded the song. Turns me into jelly every time I hear it, especially at the line, "Thou, thou art the world to me/in thine innocent charms." If there's a sweeter lullaby in the English language, I don't know of it.
Beautiful! Now I'm off to buy the album -- Appalachian Journey. (See there record companies... folks uploading your artists' music isn't necessarily a "bad" thing.) :)
@hoodatwhatzit I have the CD myself, and it is worth every penny and then some..my own personal fav on it is James Taylor doing "Hard Times Come Again No More"....tied with this one, of course, lol.
@hoodatwhatzit Exactly, my dad told me about Alison Krauss and Robert Plant right after I bought the sountrack of Get Low, having loved AK's closing titles song. I had a look at AK and RP on youtube and then I went straight to Amazon to buy the cd... There you go! (and I wish there were more record stores, they are now a dying species).
Myusic909head- So sorry to hear that... Music is a good meditation for a broken heart, 5 years ago, I lost my father, who was a music teacher in a small town, music helped me went through my hardest time. Crying in music, I made my decision to be a musician. Love is all!
I'm so sorry for your loss. I can't imagine losing any of my nieces and nephews. I love them all so much. Nieces and nephews are supposed to lose their aunts and uncles, not the other way around, and no parent should ever have to bury a child.
I've already commented on this already, but I'm gonna again ... this song just leaves me blubbering with emotion. This is the human heart laid bare. It makes me think of when my children were born, 20 years ago now. As every new parent knows, there are no words in any language to describe that feeling. But songs like this come close ....
Snuggle up with your baby while she goes to sleep in your arms while listening to this song. It is a pathway to God!! Beautiful can't describe this song!
This song is beautiful and Yoyo and Alison do a most beautiful job performing it. God bless them always.

Turns me into jelly every time I hear it, especially at the line, "Thou, thou art the world to me/in thine innocent charms." If there's a sweeter lullaby in the English language, I don't know of it.

Beautiful! Now I'm off to buy the album -- Appalachian Journey. (See there record companies... folks uploading your artists' music isn't necessarily a "bad" thing.) :)

@hoodatwhatzit I have the CD myself, and it is worth every penny and then some..my own personal fav on it is James Taylor doing "Hard Times Come Again No More"....tied with this one, of course, lol.

@hoodatwhatzit Exactly, my dad told me about Alison Krauss and Robert Plant right after I bought the sountrack of Get Low, having loved AK's closing titles song. I had a look at AK and RP on youtube and then I went straight to Amazon to buy the cd... There you go! (and I wish there were more record stores, they are now a dying species).

Wow! I think that if there is just one singing angel in heaven, she has to sound like Alison Krauss.

Myusic909head- So sorry to hear that... Music is a good meditation for a broken heart, 5 years ago, I lost my father, who was a music teacher in a small town, music helped me went through my hardest time. Crying in music, I made my decision to be a musician. Love is all!

I'm so sorry for your loss. I can't imagine losing any of my nieces and nephews. I love them all so much. Nieces and nephews are supposed to lose their aunts and uncles, not the other way around, and no parent should ever have to bury a child.

I've already commented on this already, but I'm gonna again ... this song just leaves me blubbering with emotion. This is the human heart laid bare. It makes me think of when my children were born, 20 years ago now. As every new parent knows, there are no words in any language to describe that feeling. But songs like this come close ....

Not to deminish the talent of the others but Alison does this with everything she sings. My favorite is her version of Ghost in this house.
