I love this song. Not so much for it's expression of loss, which I certainly understand and I did connect with that, but more for the fact that it does point out that this is a "sweet old world" and that there is plenty in this world to relish and love and enjoy. Yes, maybe a sad song but also it's sweetness of what we have really gets to me.
I first heard this on Launch Yahoo, where random songs get put up. I was working from home, needing background music and wasn't really listening until.........this came on and wow! Says it all about it's emotional strength that I stopped what I was doing and listened. Went straight on to Amazon and ordered an album with this on, and now I found it here. Awesome! Thanks for posting.
Where it is so utterly successful is in not expecting the listener to indulge the singer, to share their burden of grief, to help them through the night as it were, which is so often the object of even a great ballad. Instead she simply draws you in gently, unassumingly, until you realise your very own experiences of profound loss could be - are being - described. Sung as it is here, it cannot be bettered. It's one of the greatest country ballads ever made.
I completely agree, the album version is beautiful, I also love the imperfection and humanness of live music. That's why I record shows when I can. EmmyLou's version is just as beautiful, in a very EmmyLou way. :) (and of course you should support the artists and buy their albums :) )

The beat, the rhythm, the blues.
