  • The Best of The Best, Alison K and The Union Station.They set the standard! They are timeless! Very hard working at Getting it right before it goes out the Door.

    Great Things to come from them .....I`m sure .I had some great time`s with their music in the air.

  • 14 faggots don't believe in gorgeous angels without wings

  • " ...Didnt want to look in the eyes of the one that I would be drawn to, I'm a moth lost in a fire...And I know this is beautiful illusion, a case of the confusion between love and desire..." Beautiful songwriting...

  • Out of all the people that I know well, the only two people that don't like her voice are Women...?....*jealousy perhaps*

  • How could one POSSIBLY dislike this? Honestly and seriously!

  • she is just the best singer ive herd ima hole life

  • I don't know why, but I find her so annoying.

  • @MeaggyLane you belong in a psych ward

  • Yeah, that angelic voice that reaches into the furthest depths of your being and massages your soul into a state of absolute peaceful bliss - how irritating!!!!!

  • sends chills of sadness and loneliness. that sort of love you want but know you can't and shouldn't have.

  • This is the most beautiful song! I can't get tired of it. Angelic

  • It's almost unreal how any one woman can just keep getting more and more gorgeous all the time. And her voice is like an angel she just totally blows me away. Alison Krauss is the greatest I love that girl!

  • Kanye West is a waste of human life!!

  • I have never thought this about another woman before, but I am pretty sure I would abandon my life and family if Alison asked me. I dont think Im in an danger of that happening, but just in case, I dont go see her live. I cant be the only male to have fallen in love with her just from her voice and face right?

  • @dbartyzel I'm guilty of the same, dude.

  • Love her voice!

  • Angel voice <3

  • Such a beautiful song. Her voice is amazing.

  • i have too say wow the more i listen to her voice the more i wana see her live she is amazing

  • Beautiful song. Don't get caught in the "illusion between love and desire," and instead fall for somebody who is deserving of you.

  • One of my favorite songsof all times.....forever and forever....

  • Alison Krauss and Union Station has crossed every segment of music except maybe for Rap......And I'll bet they could take any cRap song and own it.......Anytime..............­That's how smart, creative, talented musically and musically thoughtful they are............

  • If I knew better I would have not done the things I have done to you K.H. I am sorry for the pain I have caused the only person to make me smile.

  • She is an amazingly beautiful artist, and I'm not just talking about her looks! Beautiful voice, amazing band, perfect song selection! What more can be said about her?

  • Looks like the CD came out in 2004.

  • The only thing I could find on Alison's dating life was John Waite. Anyone know besides "dimpledick3inch" the child?

  • @Brucev7 Maybe that is because she doesn't want there to be more than that "out there"?

  • What year was this released?

  • @dimpledick3inch I could only find she had one child in 1999, was married, now divorced and is dating John Waite.

  • @dimpledick3inch Cool thanks for he info. Don't know who Steele is. Sounds like a private eye or athlete.

  • Alison isn't a traditional bluegrass singer. Not using the hard-driving voice, her voice is much more controlled. Perhaps her style is an improved bluegrass? Regardless, she is an excellent artist.

  • @peterwdeng Wrong!! She has evolved into what you hear today. She is and still can be as bluegrass as Lexington, Ky!! The early days are long gone for her but she is still as bluegrass and the paddock at Keenland! She found a lot of other paths along her way. Not unlike Vince Gill she had to branch out or be stuck behind that label forever. I am afraid that Rhonda Vincent will not make the leap beyond where she is now, but what the hell, she's doing great!

  • She looks pregnant. ?

  • Alison has one of the nicest voices, and whatever she sings always comes out good, and is music to my ears and my heart. I wish I could have seen her in 1987 when she played at the Rogers Bluegrass festival when she played when Bill Monroe was there too. Thanks for the memories Alison.

  • I love this song and even more what the lyrics are saying. I am now obsessed and very happy I went to Chipotle and heard this on their satellite radio or whatever ha ha sounds so corny. Now onto her version of carolina on my mind...

  • When I watched her concert special on PBS or WETA or something w/ RP. When I heard this I knew it was her but was entranced by her voice and the sadness of this song that I typed the lyrics in my phone as a draft message and hurried back to work to google it, then I went on youtube to hear it and have repeated it like 5 times. I

  • Sooo yeah I first heard this sitting in a Chipotle during my lunch break and it was so good and was pulling at my heart that I had to know what it was called, thankfully because I am not an iddiot I have heard of Allison Krauss and Union Station back in 2005 and knew her voice, I loved what she did with Robert Plant and remember thinking who is this chick?

  • Beautiful...

  • i'd like to massage her sexy feet.

  • i love her and this song

  • JESUS! I'd forgotten how much I don't like listening to Alison Krauss for the fact that she makes me go on benders for days, where I listen to nothing but her. Such a lovely siren's call...

  • @rocksedge2000 in the same boat...

  • @rocksedge2000: I just came off one of those damned benders. How do you think I ended up here!

  • Catch her rendition of Carolina in My Mind by James Taylor... addicts like crack

  • @rocksedge2000 You should hear her sing "Gohst in this house" You will end up in Rehab in the room next to me!

  • another great song from AKUS!

  • Shes a damn good artist really good song

  • i too could not imagine anyone who is not touched be her amazing voice! the voice of an angle on earth! i got to see her in a very small event in missouri,we were sooo close. first row! she is an awesome singer!!!!!!!!

  • her voice transports you to another place xo

  • It's hard to believe she started so young and was so self assured and talented even then. Her voice just gets better with ade.

  • She sings like an angel :)

  • i can't imagine anyone who doesn't like her voice....it is perfect!!!!

    Alison Krauss Fighting!!!!!

  • Marsilio Ficino

  • Love it this is so true to me

  • i love Alison. it's so cool Mindy Smith wrote this song!!!!

  • Great song!!!! :)

  • Amaaazing song (:

  • she's amazing. and the band is great. they're perfect. :D

  • Comment removed

  • Oh! She has beautiful voice!!

    Great! beautiful song .wonderful Song.

    This band is great!!

    Thanks.

  • Now here is a singer, an actual singer. she has range and depth. Alison Krauss is a million times better than any female country star, especially Taylor Swift.

  • Kanye West couldn't get close enough to snatch an award out of Alison Krauss's hands!

  • @krans1013 GOSHHH I LOVE THIS COMMENT!!!! Perfectly said!!! Alison's amazingness would naturally create a force field that would repel the likes of Kanye West

  • @krans1013 I'd shuv My 1920 gibson a-1 up his ass if he thought about it

  • possibly my favorite AKUS song.

  • I could listen to this song all day.I love it so much.Alison Krauss has the voice of an angel.

  • Wonderful Song, Beautiful Singer, Amazing Band !

  • the first time i listen to her song made me think about a lot of things-beautiful things. i felt like i can really drunken into this music. it's almost a year and i'm still listen to her and of course union station song. just can't help loving them. may god bless them to rescue the people who can't find the peace deep inside of their heart

    god bless them, god bless the people who listen to their song

  • she so cute

  • This song is so beautiful!

  • lol..someone should tell IBMA to put her in the hall of fame..lol

  • She is a God-ess

  • Thanks nshields!

  • I like this country music

  • I absolutely love her voice and the Union Station. I am still puzzled by the fact that Alison isn't in the International Bluegrass Hall of Fame. I mean, she has done SO much for bluegrass music. Her success and accomplishments show that she belongs, without a doubt, in the hall of fame. Come on, how many more grammy awards does she need to win in order to have her considered?!

  • @Goralka08 I agree She is the Best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @Goralka08 No, they have to put money up front before they get in.........it's not an award it's bs..........Just like the RandR awards.....Why aren't the Moodys in there. It's all political bs and money.........Has nothing to do with talent or what you have done..........Assholes run these Halls of Fames BS

  • @Goralka08 Alison's time will come, even if it is long overdue.

  • @Goralka08 Shite like that is all so damn political. Look at the Oscars: They've been snubbing Christopher Lee since his career began.

  • @Goralka08 She has won more Grammys than any female in history; that alone makes you wonder what they're thinking at the HOF. The good news is that she doesn't need nor run on awards. She is as genuine as they come in this business.

  • @Goralka08 I'm not a big fan of country music or bluegrass yet Alison Krause is one of my very favorite musicians.

  • I'm in love with this song...

  • She is a genius.

  • Kein Zweifel!

  • jacks b b q......some of the best ive ever had! oh yeah, allisons not bad either!

  • "...I turned around, before I could run

    I found you already settled down in the back of my mind" - bravo!

  • Alison and AKUS are in a league all their own.

  • This song gives me the chills. The music is beautiful and Alison's voice sounds so angelic.

  • I've heard several people in interviews talk about singing with her. Not only did they say she was the nicest person, but they were all amazed at her having "perfect pitch." This woman is amazing! This song has such a deep personal meaning to me. It just rips my heart out...

  • I almost cried when I first heard the song years ago, it's so simple and illustrous! I don't usually to bluegrass, but her voice makes me want to listen to it more and it'd be great to collaborate with her--although my sound of music is entirely different.

  • It was a perfect combonation when it came to writer and singer! Mindy Smith wrote this song!!! She is another amazing artist who brings alot of emotion to her songs. If you like Alison I highly reccomend mindy!

  • Alright. I'll check her out. Thanks! =]

  • what a song

  • I've been a fan since I heard her song in the Film "O brother where are thou".

  • Been an Alison fan for a while..and this is one of the most beautiful ones that she and the band have ever done....sure touches your heart and brings up memories and feelings that most of us can relate to...thanks for posting it.

  • love AKUS!

    Her voice is amazing, this song is so beautiful and so true!

    can totally relate to it with past situations!

  • Truly awesome---so sweet, so beautiful

  • nice voice

  • Alison touches something inside me that no other artist ever done - it's like a part of me breakes and I want to cry, but with happieness... and still I want to hear more of her. Alison's voice i truly amazing. Her feel for the melody is extraordinary.

  • I love their re-defining style, progressive attitude when approaching the music they love so much. Allyson is one of our best. Jerry Douglas is the Jimi Hendrix of Bluegrass!

  • Bird was a sax player.

  • wow

  • i love her so much , her music and voice is awesome

  • coming from a 24 year old...this song is one of the most beautiful things that a person could ever listen to. the album "lonley runs both ways" is all in all a masterful piece of art, but this song...wow. thank you allison and union staion. especially jerry douglas on the dobro, truly a heart wrenching chord.

  • her heart is pulling at my strings , she is awesome

  • Thanks for putting this video on can music get any better than this

  • Nope. Music doesn't get any better than this. Krauss is a country bluegrass goddess.

  • Golly Miss Molly. These guys are good. This is like The Out Of Town Boys videos. Both great bands.

  • If I could go to one concert this would the one.

  • Do NOT miss the chance to see Alison live. Since simply falling in love with that voice years back, I've had that privilege 4 times. Friends I dragged along were amazed, both at AKUS and Alison & Robert Plant.

    Incomparable lady.

  • I love it. Sad though. :(

  • "...And then you shot across my sky like a meteor. Suddenly everything was on fire; there was brilliancy, there was beauty. When you were gone, when the meteor had hallen over the horizon, everything went black. Nothing had changed, but my eyes were blinded by the light. I couldn't see the stars anymore. And there was no more reason for anything." - Stephanie Meyer from New Moon.

    This song seems to fit that theme. :-)

  • I just read the ending of that book today..her music reminds of the book

  • I love that book! Such beautiful writing. Its awesome!

  • my vote for most talented woman in the world

  • You know you've found a real artist when they can pull you over a decade back in time and make you relive the pleasure and pain of your first bad teenage crush.  Bravo.

  • One of their best, Alison's voice conveys such emotion, longing, desire

  • breathtaking song !

  • you guys need to help me. i cant figure this out. which is prettier, her face or her voice?

  • They are equally beautiful and powerful...just my opinion

  • This song is amazing, just like her voice. Love the words. This is a song, I could never get sick of.

  • this is like from early 2000. love this song, its beautiful and deep.

  • beautiful song,beautiful voice,almost like the late,great eva cassidy.

  • I love this song- I dont know any voice more beautiful than hers!

  • It's from "Lonely Runs Both Ways".

  • these penultimate songwriters and musicians will endure as long as American fans will be allowed to survive and acknowledge great music.

  • Do you know what the word penultimate means?  I don't understand what you mean by this reference....

  • Does anyone know how to play this sing on piano? I'm dying for that!

  • brilliant....!

  • Great song got to love this band.

  • a great song and wonderful voices. I'm not really a country fan but i always make an exception when it comes 2 Alison Krauss

  • i love this song i never listened to my heart but now im glad i have

  • Yep! This song is me in a nutshell. Wish it wasn't! :-(

  • Katnip83187 - I feel the same way, that always happens to me sadly...and people wonder why I dont date bc I fall for the wrong people.

  • A friend sent me an email from Iraq just saying Alison Krauss & Union Station If I didn't know any better. When I googled it I found this. I wonder what he is trying to tell me.

  • Well the song is talking about falling for someone that you shouldn't and how she can't control that feeling. That person is always on her mind, and she can't get that person out. So maybe your friend is trying to tell you he likes you or maybe he just wanted to share a good song with you. Well it could be both. :)

  • "I love you... but I am not allowed too." Always fall for the one you can't have and shouldn't.

  • i first heard allsion krauss in buffy second series, she touched me deep in my heart,amsing artist, truly blessed by god. she really does sing like an angel, i love her music, incrediable vocals. This is one of my favorite songs.

  • she is one of the top female artists out there.

  • I just can't enough of this song. Its soo pretty. Her voice really is just beautiful.

  • Alison Krauss is so awesome. If I wasn't married already and she wasn't (is she?) lol Anyway, a guy can dream..... Can't he? Wow! She is so great. What a great set of...vocal chords there. Great band. Great Singer. They rule!

  • Hey Hannes 2110 I have to agree 100% and not only in the States but the Globe. BTW anybody that has Albert Lee, Vince and Danny Gatton on their website is Aok with me. I know you know what yer talking about. From a kid in Canada.

  • I'm going to assume that you also like Jonny Hiland? If you're not familiar with him you would do well to youtube him. The new genius on the block. Mind-blowing. Albert and Danny would be proud.

  • o.k. boys, so i listened to Johnny Hiland and Greg Koch, And you´re right. There seems to be dozens of serious axemen in the states, that we never heard of here in Europe. But that´s the good thing of the Tube - here we can get to know them.

  • An absolutely beautiflul song indeed!!!

  • The angels in heaven take vocal lessons from Alison. I've also heard the rumor that Gabriel trashed his trumpet to take up the dobro with Jerry Douglas! :) Enjoy!

  • the five most beautiful female voices #1 allsion krauss #2 karen carpenter #3 marilyn mccoo #4dusty springfield #5 lton john

  • who is lton

  • hahhaha well I don't know If I would put Allison as #1 and I think I would put Amy Lee instead of marilyn Mccoo

  • Eve Cassidy

  • you forgot eva cassidy.check her out

  • Her voice is so calming and perfect this is such a beautiful song .

  • Yes this is such a beautiful, moving song! And Alison is just so very very beautiful!!

    ANd her voice....is like silk! xxx Ans i also adore Union station, boys your great!!!

    Come to Holland for a while please!?? Patty de GOoijer from Holland xxx

  • Ah Alison Krauss and Union Station.

    A perfect match. :)

  • 10! amazing. moving. artful. allison is beautiful. union station is amazing. the song is poignant and so well written. this girls music is like medicine for me. i cried when i listened to this song. they are in a genre that does not exist anywehere else.

  • What do people here think about Union Station that gives her the background music to sing to?

  • great! they compliment her voice perfectly!

  • Best Band in the States, they can play anything, and anything perfect!

  • She is so incredible and has such a beautiful voice. It's a shame that she's not as recognized as all the "amazing" pop singers today. She has a talent that most people couldn't even dream of ever having. I love her :-)

  • I would have to agree with you. Those other mainstream "amazing" pop star country singers voices sound so produced. When I compare this video to her live singing it sounds the same. It's a lot more natural and purer. Also you have to take into count that she actually plays THE FIDDLE!

  • I agree that this song did NOT get the attention it deserves. It's beautifully written and wonderfully performed. (It's also so true--haven't we all had that moment of realizing someone has "gotten to us" without our even realizing it?)

  • I love her, and this song. She has such a strong, but at the same time, a delicate voice. She is also really pretty. Her songs flow through my ears, and this song is really good. Oh, and nice picture and color. :-)

  • She could sing the phone book and it would sound wonderful.

    Allison is Truley Blessed as are we :)

  • Pure, beautiful voice. Love the string accompaniment.

  • She's just so incredible!

  • i heard this song when i broke up with my boyfriend..it was so sad, i cry when i hear this song...

  • This song never got the acclaim it deserves. It's awesome and Alison is absolutely beautiful here.

  • Possibly the most talented angel I have ever heard and I have heard many in my time. She can sing anything she decides to with such gifted skill-amazing doesn't even come close to a description. Thank you for bringing your music into the world to make it a better place.

  • Well said allison45454.  Ms. Krauss has a wonderful voice. Put with that steel guitar and it becomes chilling, yet somber.

  • What you hear in the background is not a steel guitar, but a dobro played by the brilliant Jerry Douglas!

  • The dobro is shaped like a triangle and is usually sat on the lag of the player. The steel guitar is shaped like a guitar, but with different innards to change the acoustics.

  • The dobro is shaped like a triangle and is usually sat on the lag of the player. The steel guitar is shaped like a guitar, but with different innards to change the acoustics.

  • That is indeed a dobro being played. Dobros (a.k.a. resophonic guitars) are shaped like guitars as you can see, but have a resonator cone and internal set up giving them an amplified acoustic and somewhat "metallic" sound. I believe you are referring to a lap steel in the first part of your comment. Some lap steel guitars are shaped like triangles, but there are a variety of shapes being manufactured and custom built by luthiers.
