As a teen (in the early 2000s), I did my art project on her and gram parsons. My art teacher was taken aback that I even knew them but good music is good music, even if it’s not your style or era - I love her!
My God! This woman always leave me speechless after listenining any song. But this one kills me totally. Live performances are even better than studio recordings. Which is rare. She's magnificant performer....and she's a beautiful woman too. God...thank you for Emmylou Harris.
I'm a metal musician from Finland. Billy Strings brought me to this world and now I'm listening to this in tears. What a wonderful world the music world is!
@@Charles-db3kr So now you're an English teacher? I type about 100 wpm and sometimes make a typo. But thanks for playing. You can pick up your participation trophy on your way out
Nashville is not all you hope for. I live here Downtown and all it is, is Bar after Bar after Bar. and shitty cover non country music. no one has any! talent, Nashville is for those who like to waist there life on Beer, Sex, and shitty cover music. If I could, I'd move down to San Diego, Much better for country there. that's where all the old good country singers live like Emmylou here.
Nashville is not what it used to be. now it's a drinking town with a country problem. New York has got a better live country music scene. same goes with just about any major stop between Dallas and California
What I love about Emmy Lou is her willingness to help other musicians with their own music. She sings backup or whatever is needed . For her it's all about the music.
Such a beautiful song....Emmylou is so great. God love her. Everyone gives Merle, Willie, Waylon and so many others their props which they certainly deserve but Emmylou has been at it since the early seventies. She paid her dues just like all the rest.
Saw Emmylou & Rodney last night and they played this song in the set. Emmylou is ONE OF THE FEW troubadours who can sing directly to my soul. I've been going through a lot of stuff, and when I met her after the show, I thanked her for her music has helped me through my troubled times. She was gracious an beautiful as always (:
Heartbreaking story song ,,,,, one thing they dont tell you bout the blues when you gottem, you keep on falling cause ther aint no bottom, there aint no end .......least not for Lillian. Emmylou at her best.
I have been a huge fan of Emmylou since 1980 and she is definitely my favorite singer. A strange thing happened today. I was sitting in a parking lot listening to the Red Dirt Girl CD which I have not really listened to much. I sat and listened to this song and it really hit me deep down. How had I missed it that this is truly a musical work of genius, both in songwriting and performance? The truly great ones can use music and lyrics to reach deep down into our heart and soul. What a blessing to the world she is.
What a meaningful song. Emmylou you bring so much joy to people through your music. Such a beautiful looking lady and from what I’ve read a beauty on the inside too. May our Lord continue to bless you.
Today is your birthday Emmylou; 67th. Congratulations. Congratulations. Congratulations. For everything you stand for and what you do. Listening to you is like listening to angels. Congratulations, Emmylou.
I literally gave my computer a standing ovation after listening to this. The album version gives me goose bumps all over, this brought a tear to my eye and made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. Incredible.
My daughter and I sang this on the docks of Annapolis, MD about 10 years ago with my trio. My daughter was 8 and loved this song. She took it over and did such a beautiful job. Great song, great story...always be there for your friends.
Emmylou seems like such a beautiful, sweet and caring person if I had a chance to meet her I'm not sure if I would do it for the risk of finding out she was none of those things. But I'm pretty sure she is an angel on earth.
Tickets to see EmmyLou Jan 31...drove tractor trailer early '80s listening to her. Saw her many times live. Meridian...nuff said! Me,come full circle!!!
Please! I love Emmylou but she was more than 10 years into her career before she even attempted writing. She has written a few good songs but nearly all of her best recordings were whiny someone else. There is nothing wrong with that. She’s a superb vocalist. But let’s not pretend she’s Dolly Parton as a songwriter.
@@captainkangaroo4301 No..she is not mainly a songwriter but can write songs. Listen to Wrecking Ball. She has the uncanny ability to take songs others have written and to sing them better than anyone. IMHO She's the best female country singer than anyone, bar none, except maybe Patsy Cline. She's won 14 Grammy awards over the years.
@@captainkangaroo4301 I believe she wrote some of the songs that were on her on her only folk album, which came out in 1969 and didn't sell. She was about 22 then. Her beautiful tribute to Gram Parsons, Boulder to Birmingham, written by Emmylou and Bill Danoff, was on her first country album, Pieces of the Sky, which came out in 1975.
Ms. Harris may never escape her beauty or the compulsion of the rest of us to comment on it. Between God and her gene pool, she’s been gifted that blessing and curse. What is more subtle and far more impactful and so much more powerful are her values, talent, dedication to beautiful causes. This song easily is one of my favorites by any artist and she sings the story so well that her voice echoes the melody and lyric between my ears long after she’s done singing.
Complimenti per gli effetti del microfono che sembra che Emmy stoni con la voce... Scherzetti dei tecnici del suono invidiosi ed incapaci.. Love Emmylou!
I've seen her once after many years of waiting for the opportunity. Baltimore probably 2010. Fantastic is the only word for it. Sang well over 2 hours song after song. Just way past my expectations which were high.
There ain't many live performances out there that make me stop what I'm doing and sit watch and listen in amazement this is definitely up there with the best if not best I've seen what a gem she is
Being a southern boy, red dirt, Blue Tick hound, Crepe Myrtle bush, this one hooked me when I first heard it many years ago, even without Whippoorwills at sunset or millpond mist in the moonlight. Hearing an angel sing it probably made the difference.
It's almost impossible to realize it will be 30 Farm Aids coming up this year! Still if they produce Emmylou and performances with this much soul, I could stand about that many more! I've no doubt she will still sound as good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i wrote her this poem. Hope you get it Emmylou. Her Songs & Voice is heard around the world, the cosmos & celestial planets dance & play in a merry go round her beautiful singing of songs. Reflecting upon a time I’m sure in her arms her family’s love & friends embraced with a request O please sings us a song. In a wishing well I put in a dream mixed with prayers & tears of hope’s her angelic voice she would sing a joyful song to my special child at the time he was turning one. Her Angelic voice reflecting beauty of radiant tones she is Heavens own. May Love and Happiness long life of Health combined with the spinning of time her beautiful voice she shares, her Graceful voice is like sun shine stretching out on mountain tops around the world reflecting sparking dancing diamonds on warm aqua seas & oceans of blue, her footsteps trails a path gracefully at the entrance way inside Heavens Sanctuary where she takes her rest a special place that welcomes her Lovely name. Every flower as they start to bloom joyful colors sings her songs, her joyful laughter as soft as velvet roses equal her unforgettable name, her presents as comforting as white gardenias, and her voice is more sweeter than ice cream. GOD’ garden called paradise, the Garden of Eden, as for myself a time frame generation behind it remains We Love You Sweet Voice Emmy Lou.
never trust anyone that doesn't like Emmylou Harris voice.
As Willie Nelson said; There are those who are in love with Emmylou Harris and there are those who have never met Emmylou Harris.
I met her on her birthday back in the 80's. Lupus Heartbreak Hotel Prov. RI. I love her.
You need to add «there’s two kinds of people»
I MET HER!
As a teen (in the early 2000s), I did my art project on her and gram parsons. My art teacher was taken aback that I even knew them but good music is good music, even if it’s not your style or era - I love her!
Oh so true!
My God! This woman always leave me speechless after listenining any song. But this one kills me totally. Live performances are even better than studio recordings. Which is rare. She's magnificant performer....and she's a beautiful woman too.
God...thank you for Emmylou Harris.
I'm a metal musician from Finland. Billy Strings brought me to this world and now I'm listening to this in tears. What a wonderful world the music world is!
I’m a Vietnam veteran and the stanzas about Lillian’s brother and the 49 Indian leaves me in tears every time I hear it. Thanks
Thank you sir, and I'm sorry your country treated you that way...I'm Irish, came late to your great country...
Me too brother, me too.
💝💞
Welcome home, Brother. I think that verse gets every Veteran but particularly y’all.
Come to Hardly Strictly Bluegrass in SF this year. It'll do your heart good. You and your 750,000 best friends. Sept. 30-Oct 2
One day when Emmylou Harris and Linda Ronstadt are no longer with us, I will cry my eyes out.
So will i
Me too. I just bought a new guitar and named her Lillian for this beautiful song.
My Aunt Lillian had a hard life, may she and all the 'Lillians' of this world and beyond know peace.
How can people not be paying attention when THIS LADY is singing THIS SONG??
I have been in love with this woman and her voice for over 50 years. There is no sweater voice on the planet.
Sweater voice? I think you mean sweeter
@@Charles-db3kr So now you're an English teacher? I type about 100 wpm and sometimes make a typo. But thanks for playing. You can pick up your participation trophy on your way out
She's not wearing a sweater
I´m Christian from Syria and I just love country music and I hope to someday get to discover Nashville and the American South.
La Froy Are you and your family safe, with the civil war going on in Syria ?
Praying for you and yours! Get to us safely brother!
I hope you can La Froy. Do you have an address I can send you CD of mine?
Nashville is not all you hope for. I live here Downtown and all it is, is Bar after Bar after Bar. and shitty cover non country music. no one has any! talent, Nashville is for those who like to waist there life on Beer, Sex, and shitty cover music.

What a treasure this woman is.
She was 58 years young when she sang this...What a beautiful woman, what a beautiful voice!
Fadeless
Love to hear you sing and play
.
OHHHHH, YEAHHHHHHHHH!!!
@John Kyle a superstar and loaded?
To all the people that are here intentionally....U have amazing taste...and to all who are here by accident,you are very lucky.
What I love about Emmy Lou is her willingness to help other musicians with their own music. She sings backup or whatever is needed . For her it's all about the music.
Indeed are right Becky .. that is absolute passion for me . She’s definitely a rare kind of artist
57 years young here and still one of the most beautiful people I have ever seen...and the voice of an angel
She is beautiful at any age she happens to be
Those Bette Davis eyes just magnets anytime..
Such a beautiful song....Emmylou is so great. God love her. Everyone gives Merle, Willie, Waylon and so many others their props which they certainly deserve but Emmylou has been at it since the early seventies. She paid her dues just like all the rest.
AGREE
She is one of the best, that's for sure!
One of a kind she is because there is no one like her. Heaven sent.
Saw Emmylou & Rodney last night and they played this song in the set. Emmylou is ONE OF THE FEW troubadours who can sing directly to my soul. I've been going through a lot of stuff, and when I met her after the show, I thanked her for her music has helped me through my troubled times. She was gracious an beautiful as always (:
No words. What a beautiful song, sung with such power and love
This song sung by Emmylou always gives me chills and tears my eyes
How can someone pack so much living into a 3 or 4 minute song? What a testament to song writing skills and the singing ain't bad either
Diese Version des Songs ist auch amazing und erzeugt Gänsehaut, sehr gut Emmilou Harris !!!! 😮😢😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤
Heartbreaking story song ,,,,, one thing they dont tell you bout the blues when you gottem, you keep on falling cause ther aint no bottom, there aint no end .......least not for Lillian. Emmylou at her best.
A song that paints pictures with its words. A masterpiece, and I love it. 👍👍
One of the best songs ever written, performed & shared with the world... :) sends shivers down my spine

Some love for her guitar player there too. Never takes the spotlight but adds so much to the atmosphere with subtle playing and singing. Awesome!
Buddy Miller
McGuire AFB 1981, Valley Forge, Pennsylvania. Meet her and got autograph. Amazing Grace
Happy Trails
ELH
This song hits on so many levels. Emmylou is an absolute gift.
Great performance. Buddy Miller's guitar and vocal harmony adds a lot.
Music opens hearts. Specially when Emmylou Harris sings.
What a meaningful song. Emmylou you bring so much joy to people through your music. Such a beautiful looking lady and from what I’ve read a beauty on the inside too. May our Lord continue to bless you.
I love Buddy Miller, & of course Emmylou ❤
Today is your birthday Emmylou; 67th.
Congratulations. Congratulations. Congratulations. For everything you stand for and what you do. Listening to you is like listening to angels. Congratulations, Emmylou.
All she has to do is start "Me and my best friend Lillian..." and I'm a puddle of tears.
Yep, it is one of the saddest and most beautiful songs I have ever heard.
gilliangirl1
😂 lol
She’s that good
Ikr?
tbe legend lives on,
Me toooooo
I literally gave my computer a standing ovation after listening to this. The album version gives me goose bumps all over, this brought a tear to my eye and made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. Incredible.
Die größte auf diesem Gebiet, ich Liebe ihre Musik über alles! Wenn ich Sie singen höre, geht mir das Herz auf!!Emmyloo❤️❤️❤️
What a beautiful spirit Emmylou is. One of the very best
Such a sad song but so, so beautiful! I always get goose bumps when Emmylou sings.
Hello pretty how are you doing
How so many people can be walking around in the aisles while she sings is beyond me.
Thinking the same thing....
My daughter and I sang this on the docks of Annapolis, MD about 10 years ago with my trio. My daughter was 8 and loved this song. She took it over and did such a beautiful job. Great song, great story...always be there for your friends.
Hello pretty
Did you heard Emmylous voice one time you can never forget. She's the best Country Western singer. God bless you Emmylou.
Emmylou seems like such a beautiful, sweet and caring person if I had a chance to meet her I'm not sure if I would do it for the risk of finding out she was none of those things. But I'm pretty sure she is
an angel on earth.

That is brilliant songwriting, as good as it gets.
How do you know you are the coolest singer on the planet?
When you have Buddy Miller playing guitar and doing back up vocals.
You are soooooo right!
She is a vastly under-rated song writer - she is pretty easy on the eyes too!!
+Bert Peterson So true.
Please! I love Emmylou but she was more than 10 years into her career before she even attempted writing.

If more girls had her as role model instead of the trash they copy.
Just awesome, if this doesn't touch your soul, you ain't got one...
Belated Happy 71st Emmylou! 71?!?! Still sounds and looks amazing.
Such a beautiful song.❤❤ Emmylou Harris has the voice of an angel
Complimenti per gli effetti del microfono che sembra che Emmy stoni con la voce... Scherzetti dei tecnici del suono invidiosi ed incapaci.. Love Emmylou!
Emmylou -ageless beauty. Sadly I've never had the opportunity to see her perform in person.
Tony Willis she’s touring the country right now.
I've seen her once after many years of waiting for the opportunity. Baltimore probably 2010. Fantastic is the only word for it. Sang well over 2 hours song after song. Just way past my expectations which were high.
Class number.......Buddy Miller is some guitar player too.........nice......
This lady has no equal! Voice and the looks of an Angel!
Aj ja sa pripájam ku gratuláciám..všetko najlepšie Emmylou a nech Vám to ešte dlho spieva tak krásne..
There ain't many live performances out there that make me stop what I'm doing and sit watch and listen in amazement this is definitely up there with the best if not best I've seen what a gem she is
...fantastic voice and fantastic Song .....
Dónde estuve que recién nacen mis oídos y mi alma con esta bella mujer y su voz inolvidable.
She just sounds and looks so amazing. Such a treasure.
Beautiful. Catch First Aid Kit cover of this
mike boardman sr they like Emmylou so much, they made a song about her.
My favorite Emmylou song.
I bet it would be more breathtaking live
Being a southern boy, red dirt, Blue Tick hound, Crepe Myrtle bush, this one hooked me when I first heard it many years ago, even without Whippoorwills at sunset or millpond mist in the moonlight. Hearing an angel sing it probably made the difference.
My women are my heavenly mother , my earthly mother , my dearest wife and daughter, and then Emmylou Harris
much appreciation and love for Ms Emmy Lou and Ms Lillian
Hello pretty
Mit wenig Aufwand, so wunderschöne Musik ein Traum.
Always makes me cry, I love her, she’s an amazing artist, she can tell a story like none other.
Amazing how that music connects many. Absolutely!
Amazing Voice so much.🎸🌹💖
Folk spirit humming along on strings straight from the soul.
loved her when I was young, love her now I'm old - when will I ever stop loving her?
this song has always been one of my favs of her's for some reason. i guess cause it hits you like a ton of bricks. peace.
She is a icon, still great and very pretty as well.
Great song, as always from Emmylou, beautifully sung. Have admired her from afar for close on 40 years and still wonder how she weaves such magic !
It's almost impossible to realize it will be 30 Farm Aids coming up this year! Still if they produce Emmylou and performances with this much soul, I could stand about that many more! I've no doubt she will still sound as good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The voice of an angel...
Emmylou - singt wie eine Göttin, sieht aus wie eine Göttin. Man kann sie nur lieben.
The best song of Emmylou? Possible... From France.
Stunning vocals as always but also that outfit is on point 👌🏽
Pure storytelling music.
Brilliant performance at the Ordway on 10/17/18. At 71 she is undoubtedly one of the greatest performers and pro-show women of our time!
Beautiful lady! Awesome talent
Love Emmylou, we went to the same high school.
Me cagó en la mar eso es música .i o h my god👏👏👏
Goodnight to all......❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
May be the 1 person in the world who never needs a backup singer. ever !
She the masters, this isn't an easy notes, apache tears one of the best too
I fell in love with her when I heard her sing with Gram Parsons...the voice of a true angel!
country music artist for some seems to be a gift that is born ..
Such a wonderful, sad song.
EmmyLou is a musical Meridian.
It's such a beautiful song, yet so sad because I know many who have suffered the same fate.
Getting on for 60 and a grandmother when this was made. And she still looks very good. And she can still sing, live at that. Good for her.
Happy 75th Birthday Emmylou Harris
Beautiful song love her voice
It’s so refreshing to see an audience listening to the artist rather than screaming along like banshees
Good song 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Greetings from India 💟💟🙏
i wrote her this poem. Hope you get it Emmylou.
Her Songs & Voice is heard around the world, the cosmos & celestial planets dance & play in a
merry go round her beautiful singing of songs. Reflecting upon a time I’m sure
in her arms her family’s love & friends embraced with a request O please

tears of hope’s her angelic voice she would sing a joyful song to my special child
at the time he was turning one. Her Angelic voice reflecting beauty of radiant
tones she is Heavens own. May Love and Happiness long life of Health combined
with the spinning of time her beautiful voice she shares, her Graceful voice is
like sun shine stretching out on mountain tops around the world reflecting sparking
dancing diamonds on warm aqua seas & oceans of blue, her footsteps trails a path
gracefully at the entrance way inside Heavens Sanctuary where she takes her
rest a special place that welcomes her Lovely name. Every flower as they start

she has always been so beatiful
