listen to this a lot and think of mama, who is gone now and my own children. I just really like her singing and harmony with others. Wish someone would do one of my favorites Doing time in Babylon or well song is great when you listen to words true very true of everyone including myself.

Uh...excuse me? When EmmyLou is featured, then it's a "duh" that she should be up front in video and in audio. When she is not the featured singer she never upstages the other(s). There only 2 singers that do this song the justice it deserves; EmmyLou and Jill Johnson. As for Anne and Pete Sibley; give me a break. Two high school aged kids calling their children back home????.... Patty Harris?

@BillieJoesGirl06 Actually I was agreeing with you. I don't think I have to assume anything. All you have to do is look at all the "gush" from many of her fans on many videos. No matter who has the lead or who she is paired with it is de facto an Emmylou video. The other singers contributions are ignored. I like her singing. I have some of her CD's -- I just get annoyed with all the adoration and making here a goddess, other singers can't walk in her footsteps, etc.

@Mandolin1944 Not to be rude or anything you shouldn't assume things. I know Emmylou has the habit of drowning out other singers with her voice. Secondly I don't see her as the second coming I like her as a singer she's not my favorite but I still like her. All I said was basically I liked the song and that it stirred up emotions for me. So yes I do understand once again not trying to be rude.

@Mandolin1944 Beg pardon the other great version is Jill Johnson not Patty Harris.

@BillieJoesGirl06 No, no you don't understand -- as soon and Emmylou touches the microphone all other singers on the stage are unimportant and it is an Emmylou solo don't you know? Maybe I sound a bit satirical? Harris is indeed a fine singer but to her fans she is the second coming. In my opinion Patty Harris and also Anne and Pete Sibley have the best videos of this great song. This one is good too -- just my opinion.

Emmylou's beauty nearly stops your heart from beating. She takes your breath away.

When Nasa sent in space a plate representing the most significant things of humanity they should have sent some Emmylou's records too!

If this song doesn't make you want to call your mom, I don't know what will. Beautiful.

Who are these men that combined with her perfect voice make this song what it is? They really need recognition!!
