I loved this song of Emmy Lou Harris when I heard it the first time. I was driving my car and I literally started crying, and had to pull over to the side of the road. It just hit me like a ton of bricks. The song is materpiece about small town hopes, hometown heroes sent off to war, and the heartache of settling for something beneath your dreams. A horrible ending.......but it speaks so much of what we experience everyday when we let real life get in the way of real dreams.......Its a crazy sad song really....but I love it......

  • i like ur voice. i dont want to hear the original

  • You have a wonderful voice. Great cover!

  • Wow, girlie - nice job!

  • Good cover - I like it.

  • Great cover but may I make a suggestion. It's too much like Emmylou's version. Try and do a little something to make it yours.

  • This the best cover I have seen. Can I be you for a day? I bet my fiancee would fall in love with me all over again. You are beautiful and did a remarkable job with this song. Keep playing. Look me up. My name is Ebony M Easter. You will find me on YOUTUBE, type in Like Elijah. This song I wrote in the summer 2000. It is based on the story of the Prophet Elijah and we named our son after it. My fiancee shot the video in his bedroom and added all of the footage. It is from Yosemite.

  • Shining Starr, glad to hear your alive and I hope well. Somewhere I still have a recording by the Starr, "Capt Flash" is a friend of mine. I visit you and your sister regulary. I think ya'll are particulary strong as a group, with those young girls. Girl grass? I'll smoke some of that.

    Ya' get a chance visit me on you tube (Channel> CaptFlash881) I've started doing videos and have some up on there. If I get down your way again maybe we can do one for you. .Capt Flash

  • beautiful cover. I like how you slowed it down a little. Very melancholy...
