[Sera79]

For An

[187aircadet]

This song is so beautifully done! I especially love the small piece from Niel Gown's Lament that Natalie Macmaster does! Simply speechless:)

[carleighrox]

I do not understand why Im only finding this song now

[LOSTSOUL2DAY]

A SONG FOR BRENDA 

[cndspazz]

@SalutationsTitan Canadian violinist Natalie MacMaster plays violin on this cut .



[ninjabastard2]

HA HA

[Chickadee22202]

It's the violins at 4:46, not a bag pipe. Although I think a bagpipe does come in later for the long deep sounds.

[BitterCanuck]

December 1st... Thus we enter the longest month.

[ClaireeNoblett]

Beautiful song...my friend is singin this for her music exam!

[PyrateCaptain]

I didn't realize this was Allison Krause for the longest time. A friend of mine was playing a bunch of Natalie MacMaster songs and I heard this. Still love this song anyway haha

[DragonflySparrow]

Faith can move mountains, of that I am sure. ^_^

[mizzprincess45]

My dad, is a big fan of her. I've loved this song for a long time, but I only ever knew the chorus. I finally read all of them, and I wish I would have sooner. Like the person below me said, it's very healing....and very very powerful. Thank You for this masterpiece Alison...

[WishfulFancy]

This is a very healing song. So many hurts I have had this song seems to help me just cry the big hard tears until it stops hurting.

[BeanyboBean]

@WishfulFancy This song gets me as well.....a great many hurts I have endured, and I just keep thinking the same thing as I hear with this song.. Just get me through December. Many tears have I cried. Crocodile ones at that. Although, for me the tears still flow.

[exel940]

Wondefull version .great voice and arrangment. This is based on a tune written by the Grandfather of strathspeys, Niel Gow, Its called "Niel Gows Lament for the death of his second wife". Reputed that Robert Burns met him and had a tune with him when he was on his highland tour. He was a contemporary of the other great Scots composer William Marshall. Great version of a wonderful old lament.

[eaglesscreech]

absolutely LOVE the melody in the first 21 seconds of this song...wish it could be a full song of just the instruments with this melody, so calming and beautiful...even heavenly

[margini0840]

This song is just so perfect after a break up. I love it!

[timotimor]

Just get me through December A promise I'll remember Get me through December So I can start again No divine purpose brings freedom from sin And peace is a gift that must come from within I've looked for the love that will bring me to rest Feeding this hunger beating strong in my chest Feeding this hunger beating strong in my chest Get me through December A promise I'll remember Get me through December So I can start again

[melodyl52]

[DragonGoode]

her voice is so rare. THere is an element of fragility and purity that just draws you to it.

[jazzandmint]

She has one of the sweetest, clearest, most gorgeous voices I've ever heard, and this song is wonderful. I'll need to remember to listen to this the next time I'm facing emotional turmoil.

[VioletTeen17]

Love this song

[Vook]

Oh man. This is quite possibly one of the saddest songs ever written, yet it's still so inspiring and hopeful to listen to.

[tanyameccampbell]

Such an angelic voice, and a beautiful melody.

[AnnaJohnsonMusic]

I have a rendition of this song on my page, and I think some of you might enjoy it. It's a different, acoustic take on the song. Happy New Year! ~Anna

[ReeneKaray]

Wow, this is a pretty version. I may have to acquire this album. .. Though I was actually looking for the Version Johnny Coppin did on Keep The Flame (2004) anyone seen it about?

[WishfulFancy]

I dont think i could have wrote a song that fit my heart closer.

[mom10990]

It is on Natalie MacMasters "In My Hands" CD - and the tune is an old Scottish melody called "Neil Gow's Lament on the Death of His Second Wife". Beautiful.

[EricAKATheBelgianGuy]

My theatre teacher used this song for a movement exercise- and I'll tell you, by the last day, not a dry eye could be seen hearing this song. This is one of those rare ones that does that.

[rightbeefa]

beautiful song. gives me chills, esp. the instrumental last 90 seconds

[hhscolorguard11]

I adore this song, Alison Krauss is truly an angel.

[firefliesbdazzle]

Too beautiful for words, my heart is touched.

[CurvyKat29]

This song reminds me of my friend Meredith. She passed on in December of 2007 from ovarian cancer. She was only 27 years old. My heart grieves for the loss her family endured everytime I hear this.

[ashleylovesguard]

[fidlnow]

A beautiful song-- I can play this on the fiddle, inspired by Natalie MacMaster (check out her videos!)--who happens to be the fiddler playing with Alison here.
