Could you say what makes this the best version of this song? What sets it apart and above all of the other versions? I don't mean to question your opinion about this song, I'm just curious about what speaks to you in this song. Thank you, peace, 💚
Not for me... too much... noisy, crunchy, & not respectful of the sensitivity of the original artist's work. But it's subjective- if it does something for someone else- great. The vocals ofc are a great pairing; however... lacked nuance & sensitivity- I didn't pick up on a competition between the ladies, but they both were full volume all the time- so maybe it was there.
There's Emmylou Harris and there's everyone else who sings duets. She can fit her voice to any other singer(s) she happens to be working with. It's really quite extraordinary.
Ever seen/heard the youtube video of Gram Parsons talking about Emmylou? He pretty much says exactly that. Ironic the guy who fist commented is named Graham. Check out Long Black Veil with her and Dave Matthews if you have not seen it. Awesome.
I've been watching and listening to this video for years and years and cant help coming back to it over and over !. the harmonies of these two mega talents are just on another level !
Emmylou Harris has got to have the #1 most sweetest voice I have ever heard of out of all of the female country singers I've heard of throughout my lifetime of listening to classic country music.
Absolutely stunning duet. I love the bit 57 seconds in where they both look at another and smile, because they know that they've absolutely smashed it out of the park.
The beautiful thing about this duet is that they compliment each other, and dont try to compete with each other, which just makes the whole thing more unified
Here I have stumbled across this again. There is so much great music on UA-cam. Emmylou was still gorgeous after here brown hair turned grey. She's 71 now and still cute. This is beautiful music.
Music is the solution. Music an a funny things. Then we all can live in symbios. Grom the smallest ant to the biggest elephant. Hugs Lisbeth in Sweden.
Emmylou and Sheryl get perfect harmony from lyrics that otherwise would go unnoticed! Fantastic singing and music! I never get tired of listening to this song
This is of such an utterly incredible beauty, i can hardly handle it. Tears on my face. And: what an excellent band! Sometimes you think, hearing Emmylou singing "this can't be any better", but yet she surprises us again and again! THANK YOU ALL and especially the mighty Lord for sending us this true gift from heaven.
What can you say about this that hasn’t already been said. Absolutely spectacular. Two voices sent from heaven. No auto tune, no special effect. Just talent. This is my go to video when I want to hear something that will 100% give me chills.
A vocal master class. Why one has been a go to session singer for ever and star in her own right and the other is probably the finest female country vocalist that ever lived.
Emmylou is just the best singer ever. The best because her sound is beautiful en her technique is outstanding. I do not know anyone who can sing double voices like her. She goes just bove, than moves under and she can move to another level as if it is normal. This is not normal this is art !!
It is so refreshing when you see two female artists keeping their ego's in check and just so into each others voices and so focused on complimenting each others harmonizing. I look at the way Sheryl is just lovingly looking at and listening to how beautiful Emmy Lou's voice is and you can tell she's just totally getting off on trying to marry and dance her vocal part into it in a way which creates optimum equal sound. Love it!!!! They are definitely NO Celine and Barbara battling ego's here!!!
Emmy and Sherly enjoy singing together. They are brilliant together. Emmy can sing and harmonise with anyone. She blends with anyone brilliantly well and supports everyone without any ego. This song is superb.
A Twenty-five years ago song can inspire so much emotional calamity and relaxation and be sung by two greatly admired Artists and Singers with a Band of enormous integrity in musical orchestration feels like being in a concert in the heavens and attended by God, Jesus and the angels. God summoned this song as a prayer, as the intelligence of humans excels in humbleness and thanks to God for the skills to give praise to him. This statement is the recall of the trance I happened to be in whilst listening to these two Angels of God and a band of musicians that captures the skies and the silence. I have to locate the lyrics and test my coherence, otherwise, my emotional state has grown soft, older, and in readiness for completion of life's fulfilment. This song with the music combination touched my heart, and emotions and brought back the memories of my Little Yorkshire Terrier, Ruby, that suddenly passed away last December. Oh! yes, I feel so weak in my spirit yet the few tears have given me strength. Thanks.
Simply gigantic and grandiose, this harmony of 2 TOP singers. I have adored Emmylou Harris since I was a teenager. Emmylou became famous in Germany with the song "Ce la Vie, Never can tell". That was in the mid-1970s. Country music has always fascinated me and although there are so many great artists in this genre in the USA, Emmylou Harris is the queen for me. Sheryl Crow continues this tradition. She could be the daughter of all the top stars in the USA - Stevie Nicks, Linda Ronstadt, Bonnie Raidt and many more. I enjoy it so much when I can forget all the disasters that threaten people in this world today while listening to this music. We don't know what the future holds. People of my generation only wanted peace. We were able to live that for many decades. Nobody knows what will be on this earth in 5, 10 or 20 years. Why do people, especially the dictators of many nations, have to be so sick and disturbed that they only spread disaster on this earth?
Never seen these two sing together - but what a great mix - love both voices! Emmy has sung with so many other artists - she's the undisputed country queen!
Singing duets must be awesome when there are 2 as talented as Emmylou and Sheryl Crow. Those voices are incredible. Standing close & singing with EH would blow my mind!
I think i drifted off to heaven when I hear these great voices sing this classic Lou Reed song. Oh my God, what beautiful creations Emmy Lou Harris and Cheryl Crow are, never mind their great voices! Made in America rocks!
Have heard a few duets from both but this us just another realm of music. They have such fab chemistry together and it is obvious the way they look at each other with such respect. It’s just sensational.
What both of you and your fabulous band did to this song, you gave it life, you gave it the intensity and a craving to hear it over and over again. That is where I feel great to hear it one more time.
Can't dispute that. Just wish they could learn to sing without sticking the mike in their mouth. Just back off a little so we could see their face. Don't want to look at the back side of a mike when we can look at their beautiful face.
I knew Emmylou when she was singing in a Northern Virginia coffeehouse in the 1970s. Went almost every evening and she greeted me by name. Sweet person, fantastic talent ... at that time undiscovered.
Willie Nelson said in an interview that "There are two kinds of men: those who have fallen in love with Emmylou Harris, and those who have never met her." A man would do anything for her, just to see her radiant smile.
That would have to be one of the finest ever live performances. Those brilliant women and the brilliant band with a surprisingly incredible song. Flawless.
My favorite duet since I first watched it on UA-cam a few years ago. I"ve been a great fan of both Emmylou and Sheryl, great artist and beautiful ladies ever since their beginnings. Add a Velvet song, a Strat solo, a Hammond and you get perfection 👍👍😎😎
Yeah Sheryl and Emmy Lou is another one 1⃣ of those collaborations you wouldn't necessarily think 🤔 of until you see a video , like this or hear a recording they've done together , and these two 2⃣ turned out performance that is an immediate Classic ,and should get both of them on the short list to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame more than once , each , for their contributions to the history of Rock and Roll as the genre of music 🎶 that had arguably the greatest influences on the youth , world-wide in history 😊😅😮😢😂❤😂😊❤😊❤
Emmylou you are a music Avatar. We are blessed to be living in your time and thank God for technology for in a 100 years and more people will source inspiration realizing how wonderful human being can be.
this is the first time I ever see this and it's stunningly beautiful .... that these girls could sing is nothing new, but this version of this song is so incredible I'm lost for words ....
Fantastic start to the song by Sheryl and then Emmy joins and the harmony goes through the roof. It just keeps getting better and better. By the end it’s like a listening to the voices in a trance. The chemistry between the two is just amazing, such respect and trust, pushing each other to a point of perfection.
Watching the Band performing is a Big, big Song, with great patience, timing and harmony. If I had attended their concert, this performance would have been my value for money. No one can make this any better. I wonder what a reggae version may sound like?
I just broke in a new set of headphones with this song! ❤
Me too
the inner smiles and satisfaction which shows up in their faces drives me nuts
the older Emmy gets, the more beautiful she looks. amazing.
Good women with silver hair turn me on like that silver haired woman in Heavy Metal from 1981. ua-cam.com/video/lE3XGcb3VdM/v-deo.html
This is so very true. Her sacred heart grows in beautiful brilliance with her timeless grace.
I have listened to many versions of their song. EmmyLou and Cheryl’s version is far and away the absolute best there is. Absolute perfection 💕💕
True, it is not only the best but just fantastic harmony. Mesmerising
How can I get this best song ever heard on CD?
Could you say what makes this the best version of this song? What sets it apart and above all of the other versions? I don't mean to question your opinion about this song, I'm just curious about what speaks to you in this song. Thank you, peace, 💚

I agree, too much 80's guitar solo for my liking.@@ResearchSoundLab
9 years late to this party, so glad i happened upon this, blooming marvelous❤
Emmylou's harmonies sound like a whole heavenly chorus joining in.....
👍👍👏👏❤️❤️🇨🇭
Amen!
"Pitch Perfect "!
There's Emmylou Harris and there's everyone else who sings duets. She can fit her voice to any other singer(s) she happens to be working with. It's really quite extraordinary.
Spot on.
Ever seen/heard the youtube video of Gram Parsons talking about Emmylou? He pretty much says exactly that. Ironic the guy who fist commented is named Graham. Check out Long Black Veil with her and Dave Matthews if you have not seen it. Awesome.
You said it oh so true. Look up her duets with Iris Dement. AWESOME
Jim Karnstedt
I once heard a DJ say on WXPN 88.5 Philly, Emmlou is like peanut butter, she pretty much goes with everything.
Fantastic harmonious singing together. One can listen to this music all day and reflect back on life’s journey…❤❤
Beautiful song sung by two beautiful women.
Two of my favourite singers. Such classy ladies !
Yesss!!❤❤❤🇨🇭
Sheryl begins song...... and then Emmylou comes in like the sun breaking full on over the mountain!
I've been watching and listening to this video for years and years and cant help coming back to it over and over !. the harmonies of these two mega talents are just on another level !
That's right
Yessss❤❤
same!
Yessir!
i agree
took Lou Reed's song to a whole new level...
Emmylou Harris has got to have the #1 most sweetest voice I have ever heard of out of all of the female country singers I've heard of throughout my lifetime of listening to classic country music.
her voice just brings me to tears; so beautiful of a lady and voice.
Absolutely stunning duet.
I love the bit 57 seconds in where they both look at another and smile, because they know that they've absolutely smashed it out of the park.
Two generations of amazing! Emmylou is as beautiful now as she was thirty years ago.
Emmy Lou... There's a whole boat load of wonderful singers, but none get to my soul like Emmy Lou singing harmony
So true Jack. She is amazing.
Too bad the mix is goofy, but I love the vocals and the girls.
She’s ridiculous, makes the other singers voice sound better
She is the best and I have always loved her voice. ❤️
One of a kind!
The beautiful thing about this duet is that they compliment each other, and dont try to compete with each other, which just makes the whole thing more unified
Sometimes and always you two angels make me love you even more TY princesses you are!!! 😍🌹🌷
One outstanding song
Two wonderful women
You know I dont think I ever heard this song sung more beautifully, but I just adore Emmylou
Cut me up n broke my heart every time I've heard her.
Here I have stumbled across this again. There is so much great music on UA-cam. Emmylou was still gorgeous after here brown hair turned grey. She's 71 now and still cute. This is beautiful music.

One of the best duets I have ever heard! Emmylou and Sheryl were absolutely wonderful on this Lou Reed song.
Hi Patricia hope you’re okay?
Yessss ❤❤❤❤🇨🇭
❤
What a beautiful duet! Emmylou Harris is always comfortable with any song. Love her
WOW unbelievable vocals I'm ashamed to admit I had no idea these two ladies had voices so captivating.
Beautiful moment when both ladies realised that this was special!
I kep coming back just to look and listen, no more like these two
Me too, I just love this song with them singing it. Fabulous
Silas Fatchett 0.57 secs in that smile well spotted lovely to see two of the best just killing it.....
Emmylou and Sheryl get perfect harmony from lyrics that otherwise would go unnoticed! Fantastic singing and music! I never get tired of listening to this song
This wouldn't ever go unnoticed, it's the velvet underground and has been covered by loads of bands 👍
❤️❤️❤️❤️🇨🇭
Me too
The lyrics are beautiful and haunting. They've withstood my test of time.
she is the best... period. I have listened to her since the Gram Parsons days, and she only gets better.
Six Minutes of pure heaven that I've played over and over again. The way this song builds is genius.
One of the greatest duets EVER. CAN'T STOP LISTENING...
This is of such an utterly incredible beauty, i can hardly handle it. Tears on my face. And: what an excellent band! Sometimes you think, hearing Emmylou singing "this can't be any better", but yet she surprises us again and again!

Voices like angels ♥️
Everytime when I am Sad . I search this version and cry my eyes out . And then I am relieved and happy
A vocal master class. Why one has been a go to session singer for ever and star in her own right and the other is probably the finest female country vocalist that ever lived.
Einer meiner Lieblingssongs !
" Weltklasse ".

Yes, this!
Well said
Yes, yes, yes. Nothing to prove. It’s all about the the singing and note perfect. True professional musicians.
Cause Emmylou is the Queen and Cheryl is the future
Emmy and Sherly enjoy singing together. They are brilliant together. Emmy can sing and harmonise with anyone. She blends with anyone brilliantly well and supports everyone without any ego. This song is superb.

Beautiful Lou Reed song. Nice cover, made epic by Emmylou's presence. Love it.
This is an example of feelings and emotions becoming pure vibrational tones. It touches the soul.
Simply gigantic and grandiose, this harmony of 2 TOP singers. I have adored Emmylou Harris since I was a teenager. Emmylou became famous in Germany with the song "Ce la Vie, Never can tell". That was in the mid-1970s.

What a great tune! Emmy is awesome... way under rated. And Cheryl deserves all the success in the world!!
Seeing their smiles just proves how moved they are by their harmonies. Absolutely spectacular
Good Lord. I think my senses are overloading.
I believe that your statement applies to most of us!!!!
I'm with ya!!
The little smile on Sheryl's face when they harmonize was so telling. She knew it was something special.
I never noticed till I watched this how pale blue eyes has the same chords as "if it makes you happy". Love the VU!
Gives me chills up and down and around
Never seen these two sing together - but what a great mix - love both voices! Emmy has sung with so many other artists - she's the undisputed country queen!
Prachtig duet met gevoel weergegeven
Singing duets must be awesome when there are 2 as talented as Emmylou and Sheryl Crow. Those voices are incredible. Standing close & singing with EH would blow my mind!
They must've done this as a first time because they smiled at each other when they knew their voices Matched perfectly!!!!
Still resonates. An unforgettable classic.
I think i drifted off to heaven when I hear these great voices sing this classic Lou Reed song. Oh my God, what beautiful creations Emmy Lou Harris and Cheryl Crow are, never mind their great voices! Made in America rocks!
Sheryl and Emmy Lou together can really harmonize great! I live to listen to them sing! Great song to sing!

I have only one word for this song from Emmylou and Sheryl: AMAZING
Can't get enough of this wonderful duet, love them both but Emmy is my dream girl.
stunningly lovely. The combo of their harmonies and the obvious joy they get from singing together.
Two beautiful women with two awesome voices!!!
Can't dispute that. Just wish they could learn to sing without sticking the mike in their mouth. Just back off a little so we could see their face. Don't want to look at the back side of a mike when we can look at their beautiful face.
Yes! That's enough for sensation overload!
These ladies sing to sing, not to just look good.

Yeah Sheryl and Emmy Lou is another one 1⃣ of those collaborations you wouldn't necessarily think 🤔 of until you see a video , like this or hear a recording they've done together , and these two 2⃣ turned out performance that is an immediate Classic ,and should get both of them on the short list to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame more than once , each , for their contributions to the history of Rock and Roll as the genre of music 🎶 that had arguably the greatest influences on the youth , world-wide in history 😊😅😮😢😂❤😂😊❤😊❤
I have bought cd s by people I have never heard of just to hear Emmylou do harmony. She never disappoints.
Velvet underground back in the day. MAX'S KANSAS CITY. THANK U FOR THAT GREAT COVER. EMMYLOU AND CHERYL.
Two beautiful women Two beautiful voices ❤️🇬🇧❤️
When I first heard the song, I fell in love with it.
Mesmerizing! They both look and sound so female. I wish UA-cam had Smellovision and Touchovision.
+american37 What about Kissovision? :)
goosebumps on my skin and tears in my eyes....amazing beauty and harmonies.
👍👍👍👏👏❤️❤️🇨🇭🇨🇭

I think Emmylou Harris is like gold. I love you my sister.
Hi Nancy hope you’re okay?
Wow.....Lou would have loved this...so well done
Lou in heaven loves you. Me too. ( what a poetry. ..)

One of the best Live performances by a duet. Love it.

For the love of god they can harmonize. The pipes. The gift of talent.
Watching the Band performing is a Big, big Song, with great patience, timing and harmony. If I had attended their concert, this performance would have been my value for money. No one can make this any better. I wonder what a reggae version may sound like?
Their voices combined are glorious!
