Please Don't Tell Me How The Story Ends - Joan Osborne

[mandolinmle]

Joan rips my heart out with this song. 

[beatsbooze]

Helluva talent! plus being a 'babe'!

Great stuff.

[jtls8]

Love this song so much!!!!

Thank you Deb for sending.

[dinnycash]

how cum she never credits kriss with this great song

[candw87]

Great backing 

[WileyCoyote69]

Man, sometimes I forget how incredibly this woman sings. Then I stumble across something like this with her.

[ElBarsko]

Så lækket, så lækkert (delicious).

[candw87]

Who wants the Story to end - not me with a VOICE like Joans'

[banjogeorge]

never heard this singer or song before but ncaught it on Trans.Session's the other night and am now hooked on both.

[narabdela]

Joan Osborne's interpretation of this classic is legendary.

It's such a pity that they felt the need to 'enhance' the vocal here.

[Siobhan1966]

This may be our last good night together We may never pass this way again. Just let me enjoy it 'til it's over, or forever Please don't tell me how the story ends. See the way our shadows come together Softer than your fingers on my skin Someday these may be all we remember of each other Please don't tell me how the story ends. Never's just the echo of forever Lonesome as a love that might have been. Let me go on lovin' and believin' 'til it's over Please don't tell me how the story ends.

[mrbrannon68]

Best interpretation of this beautiful love song written by Kris Kristofferson. Lovers really don't want to know how the story ends.

[gustaavo423]

Eu não conhecia essa música...lindíssima....e um lindo vídeo...parabéns e obrigado por esse vídeo. Joan Osbone tem uma voz linda. Um abraço a todos.

[jimmyriddle100]

wow!! i have just discovered this woman she is a really wonderful singer what a voice!!!thanks for posting.

[kmslfd]

I love her, and she no way needed this guy in this song, way to beautiful a voice he adds nothings, except a distraction to look at.

[candw87]

@kmslfd It was no distraction it added a little extra to the video-you see it quite often

[emotd]

true...

[bigcoolviking]

WOW! NOW THAT IS sweet!!!

[bibimarlou]

I love this song !!!!

[backporchpicker]

Have to listen to this often.Great depth of feel from all the players,topped up with fabulous vocals.

[cacjy6b]

cacjy6b let,s not forget the well traveled musician jerry douglas.

[cacjy6b]

let,s not forget another great musician that should be included in this groop,jerry douglas.

[jessilu]

This is Folk music gold!

. Aly Bain & Phil Cunningham are legendery musician as well as folk music royalty, & Bruce Molsky & Joan Osborne are simply fabulous vocalists!

[dougtomoi]

miles better than the man who wrote it,

kristofferson

[Bluesgerd47]

no one sings his songs better than he himself. no one can compare with the depth and honesty of Kris.

[RockingchairBill]

One Of My Favorites For Sure

[1958timmy]

Norma Jean,

Our story never ends. Thanks to Jesus and Joan for the great song!!!!!!!!!

Tim

[1958timmy]

Joan is one the best vocalists, ever!!! She reminds me of Patsy Cline. I think Joan may even be better. Love to Joan.

[tulden]

joan will you marry me im only, 75. james

[AmiJurgl]

Never's just the echo of forever...

[bigcoolviking]

Its on the translantic sessions 3 a double dvd an awsome collection of celtic scottish/ Irish american and canadian musicians recorded in scotland

[poorman1946]

JOAN OSBORNE, this lovely lady sure can sing, and has a really nice voice. Please more of this beautiful young lady, more, more, more.

[G0dspelronin]

loss for words....jaw dropped.....Only Joan could make this song sound so alive.

[candw87]

What are you sorry for

[jlehner1]

Hey, how 'bout some props to Mr. Jerry Douglas for that tasty lap steel, an instrument that you don't see or hear too much (or enough) anymore. Also, why can one man write "never's just the echo of forever" & "freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose". One of the best ever, Mr. KK, God Bless You!

[rtunes42]

It doesnt get any better!  Joan, the musicians!

[bulbheadmyass]

I am totally melted. This might be the best version of this song I've ever heard.

[arbutus27]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

[philjonz]

She's beautiful and a beautiful voice. The best.

[philjonz]

Just heard her for the first time accompanying Iris Dement. They are both wonderful artists. What have I been missing! Never heard this song done as good - fabulous is not a fitting adjective for this beauty.

[StringnSonic]

She's of the caliber of talent of Eva Cassidy- she sings the music she loves... on her own terms... and she makes us all stop what we are doing to listen...mesmerized and captivated...

[traveller9852000]

Truly awsome reading of a song that was written by one of the very best in the business. I could listen to this over and over for hours, in fact I do.

[candw87]

Wotta voice- I've never heard heard her before

What have I been missing all this time

[nailswood]

This performance shows why simple songs are so often near perfection. I admire Joan because she has sung what she wanted to sing rather than what she was told to sing. Try to find her version of Raglan Road she does with the cheiftains. Another perfect performance.

[molloyx]

An undiscovered gem, and another reason to appreciate the sublime aspects of 'simple' country music.

[tulden]

i will listen to you joan forever your beautiful

[verdi37]

thankyou very much

[ionut82]

Superb

[ghampton106]

the thing about Joan, if you look at all her videos, is she clearly loves singing/music and dharing that love with anyone that cares to listen. On youtube she has a video where she singe at a Barnes and Noble, another few with the Funk Brothers, and some pop stuff too..notice in all of them she is totally given into the music. I've always admired that about her...and it comes through in the quality and talen of her vocals...she's easily one of my fav female vocalists.

[custardflan]

I couldn't agree more. Well put. I've always thought the same thing about her. She clearly has the respect of the musicians she performs with.

[archpoppy]

Well said, ghampton 106. Which song is the Barnes/Nobles? Also, check out recently posted "Cathedrals" live in Philly (cannot really see her, but the song is wonderful).

[gamefaceca]

While I'm loathe to say that anything can't be topped, I daresay this is the definitive version of this song: an incredible voice, superb musicians, intimate surroundings and what I'm coming to think is one of the finest songs ever written. Just not sure than it can get any better than this.

[CCarmen]

Superb! Flawlessly delievered and completely timeless, beautiful!

[jmseles]

Very touching - Joan is amazing.

[Compass56]

This is what country is, was, and should be. I love it. Joan's voice hits the "superior" range on this one (something she doesn't always do). Plus, Jerry Douglas kills with some really pretty lap steel playing.

[pnbjpnbj]

Her voice the fiddle and the slide... fantastic !!!

[Webbsie07]

o thanks so much for putting this lovely song & video on...xxxx

[morprotein]

[26110]

I have bben searching for this ever since I saw it in ...what? BBC 4 a few weeks ago. couldn't remember what it was called. Isn't it fantastic? Thanks!

[bulbheadmyass]

Oh, what a great video this is, country music at its purest and best. Love the vocals, love the steel, the piano, the whole damn thing actually. Thanks for posting this wonderful vid. 5 stars, for sure.

[LSBMX]
