For 45 years my wife and I worked, raised a family, sacrificed to help others. Two months after retiring her life ended tragically, just as we were getting to the good part. Now I see and feel her everywhere I go. I miss her so much. Thanks Trisha for this beautiful song. Never take love and life for granted y'all.❤️
the good part is the 45 years. Human beings are nuts?! Slave for 45 years just to get to a *good part*.. like life is something you gotta earn. Hey, dude, your wife would still be here if she hadn't been a slave for 50 years. What about that.
god bless you - this is fate my dear friend - i found this post - late at night - you will see each other again - live her dreams - be well - god bless
I just relate to this song so much. My Dad passed away 46 years ago and I still look in a crowd or anywhere I go thinking I might somehow catch a glimpse of his Sweet Face. You never stop longing for that great love that was taken so harshly in a blink of a eye. I Miss You Daddy 😢😢😢. I'll never stop looking....
I just heard this for the first time. All I can say is how in the world wasn't this one of her most successful singles? It's easily one of her best recorded songs. Amazing. :)
My best friend committed suicide over a year ago and this song resonates deeply with me. “I hate you so and I love so but I miss you most.” At one moment I hate him for what he’s put us through, another I remember everything we shared and treasure every second but I always miss him.
why hate him. you weren't there when he left? because you had no control? Look at your reasons why you would hate someone who was suffering so MUCH.. that he killed himself. Ask why there was nothing to help him stay here. Ask the entire WORLD why we haven't addressed SUICIDE yet. Suicide is the real pandemic so why aren't we getting daily numbers? Like we did with Covid. They're HIGHER then covid's numbers... guaranteed.
@@CorinneTheMountainGoatBlack hang in there life gets better even when we can't see it plus you would be missed by so many people you don't wanna cause them that kind of pain.
This song has a different meaning for me than the reason why it was written but it might as well have been the same. It was death of a relationship that Ive never gotten over. I was in love with a man from St Cloud, over 25 yrs ago and he with me. It didn't work out, though we tried. We weren't kids. We were in our 40's. Death in any form is always hardest for those of us left behind. Thank you Trisha Yearwood-Brooks for singing a beautiful song that will reasonate for me, forever. ❤
God, what a beautiful song! So sad, evoking lost love, regret, and what could have been. It makes this 71 year old man cry when I hear it. Thank you Gretchen Peter for writing it and thank you Trisha Yearwood for singing it so beautifully.
Just found this song because it was a jeopardy clue and I read about it being on jeopardy. I lived in St Cloud for 10 years. It brought back memories of people who've long gone from my life. After I left St Cloud, I rode the bus back home to St Cloud to see my Mom and Dad on weekends. They've been gone 20 years. Time stands still for no one.
Easily my favourite Trisha song, I absolutely adore the arrangement, the Vocals, the lyrics, its perfection 🥰 "I hate you so, I love you so, but I miss you most"
I use this song/video regularly to check for ac polarity. The changes to the size, height and width of the soaring soundstage projected by the atmospheric background strings is easily discernible when the power supply fed into audio equipment is not plugged in with the correct ac orientation. I enjoy this whole album very much too.
The first time I heard this song on the radio, within 15 seconds of the intro I knew I had to stop the car and listen to it intently. There are just certain songs in everyone's life that resonate fully with their inner being and this one does with me. Actually I never even got close to the "good part" but I tried.
This song will never get old. Today my kids were transfixed to hear this Trisha Yearwood song for the first time. It never fails to make a huge impression. Luv u Trisha ❤️💕💓💖
This song on spotify. Took phone downstairs to sit in the sun. Song came on, forgot it was there. Magnificent song which evokes memories, as it would from all people I guess. Paul from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺
In memory of Kristine, a beautiful gal from Montevideo, MN I used to date while she was attending college at St. Cloud State. This song still brings tears to my eyes.........
What a stunning song ! Thanks to Gretchen for writing it, and thanks to Trisha for putting so much emotion into it. I play this song every day, to me it's bitter/sweet, and brings many wonderful memories of my beloved Maggie who went far away into the Silent Land in 2006. (I've gone all loose& soggy). Merry Christmas, y'all !!!
Mopar21277, so correct. This is possibly one of the most mature "grown up" songs in modern country music, but the audience for country top radio is pretty much 14 to 24 year olds...but what matters is that Trisha will go into history with some of the most artistic music ever created in this genre.
The first time this song ccame on the radio, as soon as I heard the intro start, I knew I had to pull my car over and listen. It brought chills to my spine and tears to my eyes....and it still does. This recording is beyond great. Thank you, Trisha.
I've lived this song. Right down to the very last word. And every time I listen to it the pain comes flooding back and I weep like a child. You know who you are. You ripped my heart and my whole world completely apart. To survive it, I had no choice but to wall off the grief. It will remain buried inside me until I leave this earth. Then I will finally be free.
This song cuts me like a knife right through my heart and soul. I cry and my husband asks me why and I can't tell him. I KNOW every word of this song by heart, because I was in love with a man from St. Cloud. We had plans and he just up and left. He ripped my heart and guts out like no other. We were in our 40's. I had to survive. (I found someone to love and who loves me, who will never leave, and I'll never leave him.) But this is what I never knew until recently when my 86 yr old mother called me a few mos ago. She told me, (this man from St.Cloud) called her while we were dating and than again after I'd remarried telling her he wanted to marry me. He never told me. I didn't think it would get to me. It has. I never knew that until recently. By the time he saw my brother in the mall at Christmas abt 18 mos after he walked out, he asked where I was. My brother told him I had gotten married 2 mos before, again something I didn't know. I wonder if he thinks of me or if he even listens to this song because 20 plus yrs later, my heart has been ripped open again. If you see this, PLEASE CALL HIM/HER...you just never know. CALL, google search do what you have to, at least get closure...please!
I share your pain. My soul mate left me for another woman 37 years ago he made her pregnant. I've never got over it but he stays in my heart. You only fall in love once in your life and he was the one.
HONESTLY, yes. They never played it on the radio and I know why. In 1998, in Seattle, at KMPS 94.1 I asked her that very question. She said at that time the radio executives thought she had to many slow songs on the charts and another was not possible. Review her chart songs and you'll understand. For me and you I'm happy, now we get to enjoy the most amazing song in our own pvt fan world. This song would have went #1 had it been released. I miss both Trisha and Garth. Bless them both.
It Feb 2023. Both of them are back! I believe that Garth is doing another tour and his beautiful bride Trisha is going with him or doing a small tour! I love them both and have seen both in concert. I saw one of Garth's first concerts in Denver. Steve Warner was the head act..After Garth played he got so many encores. When Warner came on he was booed ( which people shouldn't have done.) He wasn't happy but I knew at that point Garth Brooks was going to the top. In 96 or 97 I saw him in concert again. Missed his meet n greet by 5 mins and could still kick myself. He put on the GREATEST CONCERT I've ever seen and I've been to A LOT of them!
I remember buying this release ( Thinkin' About You ) on cd format back in ' 95 . I believe On A Bus To St. Cloud would chart on Country Billboard if released in 2023 . The writing , lyrics , arrangement , with Trisha's voice . The golden age of the CMT & TNN Networks .
I love you so much , Trisha! I hope you know how many lives you have touched with your voice. I have sung this countless times with my own lyrics, because they all happened: On a bus to Northstar, California I thought I saw you standing there With the snow falling down Around like a silent prayer. And on Spring Break in New Orleans With the jazz and the sin in the air And once on a cold LA freeway Going nowhere. And it's strange but it's true I was sure it was you Just some dude by his car On the bus to Northstar In a temple outside Sapporo I got on my knees to meditate And wound up weeping at the foot of Buddha For the choice you made. We were just gettin' to the good part Just gettin' past the mystery Oh, and it's just like you It's just like you to disagree. And it's strange but it's true You just slipped out of view Like that dude by his car On a bus to Northstar And you chase me like a shadow And you haunt me like a ghost And I hate you some and I love you some But I miss you most. --- Instrumental --- On a bus to Northstar, California I thought I saw you there With the snow falling down Around like a silent prayer...
I saw Gretchen Peters perform this at the Bluebird Cafe. A lady said in a scoffing voice, "i heard this song was about someone who committed suicide." To which Gretchen responded, "It is."
The first time I heard this song on the radio, I had to pull my car over to stop and listen to it. As someone who knows the endless sadness of loves that came and went, I felt it was a song that my heart had been singing for decades and finally Trisha had given it voice.
Hey Jim....being not too bad with words either.....I have to compliment you on those lines.......People like you should be writing books or biographies ....to give the ones that arent this gifted a voice...Cheers man....Roger
I'm from St. Cloud so this song really hits me. I feel a sense of comfort and hometown pride everytime I hear it. I'm even taking the bus to New York this month. I'll have to try to take one to LA and New Orleans as well.
Hey St.Cloud-Jennifer.....,you have all the right to feel a sense of hometown pride........Your last name though rings german....right? I am in germany right now...and heard that name a couple of times....And wasnt there this movie with Tobey Maguire.....The cider house rules.....where the orphanage was also called St.Clouds ? Got to watch it.....just wonderful... Cheers.Roger
I honestly love your posts and always enjoy reading them in my lonely spare time. I'm so sorry I invaded your privacy, but I'd love to be friends with someone who could share such sensitive post content, which means you're a woman of integrity. I wanted to add you but sending you a friend request without your consent is inappropriate because I'm a public figure and it wouldn't take much either, I'd appreciate it if you send me a friend request now so we can be friends and text better here on UA-cam ❤️
I don't know where I've been but I heard this song for the first time a week ago. Could not stop the tears while listening. Gretchen is truly a gifted writer and must have been thinking of Trisha as the performer because no one could do it better. Can't help being moved by this song and performer.
Just the simple reason music can touch your soul like absolutely nothing else. I'm told the Bible says that we have music in eternity and this is how we skirt the edges of the spiritual world. Something about this song makes you stop your busy life for a moment and think about lost love, what could've been. Just awesome.
God...what an amazing song......you connect immediately - somehow we are all passengers on this bus to St Cloud.......everybody ...haunted by our own ghost.......
I know this well- spent half my life listening to it for how many times I took double takes when I thought I seen my first husband died car accident a year after we married - his twin survived- my hear skips a beat for chase me like shadow haunt me like ghost hste you - love so miss you most - his funeral 8 inches of snow remember toes were frozen.
I'm so sorry for your loss. It would be so hard seeing his twins image, but know he lives on in his twin and in you for the love you shared. I heard someone say recently that the loves that go before us live on through the things we see in our eyes. You'll Peace see him again. This journey on this earth is so short. They are waiting just behind the sunrise and the sunset. Peace be with you, honey.💕
This song reminds me of an old girl friend Dianne Correll. She was one of the hardest workers I have ever known. I had so much respect for her. She was tragically killed in a car wreck at age17. She is someone I will never forget...
We don't use busses and trains as much now, when there are planes and freeways. I sometimes wish we were back in the time when it was common to take busses and travel more slowly. It allows reflection. I can remember a couple of memorable bus trips, and it is a different feeling than when one takes a plane or drives. Memory plays tricks with our seeing, and one might imagine one is seeing someone who is not there if one wants to find them again. This song evokes this feeling very well. The video is good too. It does seem as though the constant freeway expansions are making it harder and harder to relate to the landscape as we speed on our way, however. At least the trains do not seem to have this inflationary tendency. The tracks don't simply keep widening across the landscape as fast.
@@countrygirlcountrymusiclov5831 What an assinine comment. Gretchen Peters is an awesome songwriter, and this is what she wrote. Grow up. Discover Gretchen Peters. She has written many great songs that are worth hearing. Trisha Yearwood nails this song; on that we can agree. The combination of the songwriting and singing makes this a near perfect song.
I have many CD's of Trisha and this has been one of my most favourite ones. The atmosphere in this song is just beautiful and can really make me cry too.
This is my favorite Trisha song. While it didn't do well on the charts, due to its subject matter (suicide), it just beautifully paints a heartbreaking picture in the lyrics. Kudos to Gretchen Peters for writing this song.
I really love your comment. My Mom just sent me this song recently. I had never heard it before. My grandmother died several months ago. She was everything to me. I see her everywhere too.
@@francescarubino9453 mine died in June. She raised me and was my best friend and hero. This song so deeply touched me on a different level though. 5 years ago today, my fiance and I got on a bus to Denver. It was there that I lost him to drugs. I've also lost too many friends to OD. This song has the musical quality of being universally applicable to any situation of loss, grief, regret, and that agonizing question of what might have been.
@@countrygirlcountrymusiclov5831 Just in case you haven't yet run across it, here's a performance by the original singer/songwriter, Gretchen Peters. ua-cam.com/video/WnHjoFkE6Ts/v-deo.html Both are great! (Yearwood will reportedly be recording another of Peters' songs, "The Matador," on an upcoming album.)
I can't even imagine anything so very sad as someone never falling head over heels in Love. That sweet kiss that all others are compared to and will fall far short of, that long lasting memory. The smell of her hair still lingers, the feel of her skin next to you, the sound of her laughter, the emotion in her eyes as she looks into yours. The perfect fit of her hand in yours.... The laugh lines around her eyes. Some say Love is a one time thing, some seem to find it, only to forget their way home to her heart.......
2nd favorite song ~ in love with this song ~ Georgia reign my frist loved song everything she sings is wonderful tho.she is the real deal when you got you just got it ~ so talented sings like a angel U go IMiss Trisha yearwood ❤️🤗
OMG if people don't get this song???? Come on its so good. I feel like in 10 or 15 years or so an artist will cover this and it will be huge. Which makes no difference cause Trisha owns this
I LOVE this song for so many reasons....I was once in love with a man from St. Cloud. He didn't even know about this song until I finally told him and I had married someone else. (someone that I love.) I still love the song. It was one of my past.
Hello Victoria from the far north of England , 20-12-20. I read your ... ' letter ' a few moments ago and was struck by your truth . Searched on and in a moment made it back to your words . Perhaps the resonance of both this song and your words is that for lesser or greater distances ... a lot of us have also been ... ' On A Bus To St.Cloud ' We have all missed someone in a moment ... or by a turn of the head away , for a reason best known by God . I know your's was and is a far more protracted ... 'experience' ... I wish you well in every way . And all others alighting or departing ... ' On A Bus To St.Cloud ' . . .
Hello Donald. You wrote me because of my comment on the song by Trisha Yearwood, " On a Bus to St. Cloud" I've been very happily married for 25 yrs to my 2nd husband. Before he even came into my life I was in love with someone else and it just wasn't meant to be. God had other plans for me. The other man before him was from St Cloud, MN. So when I hear this song once in a while, it does take me back in time to old memories. I think music does that to everyone. Like love and grief, happiness and sadness, music and lyrics touch our hearts and souls. When that person is gone for whatever reason, we have our memories and the songs that remind us of certain times in our lives. You're right, "we've all missed someone in a moment..." and so many of us HAVE BEEN on that Bus to St. Cloud. Thank you for caring enough to write. Many blessings to you David ~ Victoria Santa Fe, NM USA 2/21/23
Not sure how it is that I've only just discovered this song, but it grabs you by heart every single time. Her voice is so perfect for this music, touches deep in my soul.

He put it harshly but has a good point.
@@keetahbrough There are so many better ways to get your point across. Please consider that in the future.
So sorry
I just relate to this song so much. My Dad passed away 46 years ago and I still look in a crowd or anywhere I go thinking I might somehow catch a glimpse of his Sweet Face. You never stop longing for that great love that was taken so harshly in a blink of a eye. I Miss You Daddy 😢😢😢. I'll never stop looking....
My wife passed away yesterday and a friend
Sent me this song such a beautiful song
Bless you bless you bless you bless you
I'm so sorry for your loss
I just heard this for the first time. All I can say is how in the world wasn't this one of her most successful singles? It's easily one of her best recorded songs. Amazing. :)
Because it was too thoughtful and poetic
I totally agree
It did run on CMT at the time. It's a great song gets me in feels for sure ~
1995
People don't seem to like the good songs it seems.
Love Trisha!! I'm from Minnesota 😊
My best friend committed suicide over a year ago and this song resonates deeply with me. “I hate you so and I love so but I miss you most.” At one moment I hate him for what he’s put us through, another I remember everything we shared and treasure every second but I always miss him.

why hate him. you weren't there when he left? because you had no control? Look at your reasons why you would hate someone who was suffering so MUCH.. that he killed himself. Ask why there was nothing to help him stay here. Ask the entire WORLD why we haven't addressed SUICIDE yet. Suicide is the real pandemic so why aren't we getting daily numbers? Like we did with Covid. They're HIGHER then covid's numbers... guaranteed.
God bless you.
I tried, unsuccessfully,to take my life just before Christmas. I was due to be married this March

After I left St Cloud, I rode the bus back home to St Cloud to see my Mom and Dad on weekends. They've been gone 20 years. Time stands still for no one.
AMEN!!! God Bless You!
A magnificent song by a magnificent singer. Heard it on a random music channel in England and my love for country music was born.
I agree. Sirius radio plays her other songs but I think this is her best.
Easily my favourite Trisha song, I absolutely adore the arrangement, the Vocals, the lyrics, its perfection 🥰
"I hate you so, I love you so, but I miss you most"
A beautiful song from a great album and equally amazing artist. Safe travels to all x

The changes to the size, height and width of the soaring soundstage projected by the atmospheric background strings is easily discernible when the power supply fed into audio equipment is not plugged in with the correct ac orientation. I enjoy this whole album very much too.
Everyone with a past identifies with this song. Never tire of listening to it.
One of the most beautiful songs ever written xx
"And I wept in the arms of Jesus for the choice I made " My favorite line of this beautiful song 🎵,

lorad0313 i think I understand how you feel when you hear the song. I feel the same way!! My heart has been so broken
I am.sorry you are in pain
I don't know what makes people do things that hurt others. I guess they lose sight of whats important.
This song cuts me like a knife right through my heart and soul. I cry and my husband asks me why and I can't tell him.

Today was just one of those days that only Trisha's songs would get me through.

My favourite country pianist Matt Rollings
Still one of my favorite songs ever. I love to sing it, to feel it .
Love this Song so very, very much. Still looking.. One day Perhaps..
One of my all time favourite songs
My all time favorite singer. Sat I got a chance to tell her in person. Her response was "thank you that means a lot to me"
I love you so much , Trisha! I hope you know how many lives you have touched with your voice.
I have sung this countless times with my own lyrics, because they all happened:
On a bus to Northstar, California
I thought I saw you standing there
With the snow falling down
Around like a silent prayer.
And on Spring Break in New Orleans
With the jazz and the sin in the air
And once on a cold LA freeway
Going nowhere.
And it's strange but it's true
I was sure it was you
Just some dude by his car
On the bus to Northstar
In a temple outside Sapporo
I got on my knees to meditate
And wound up weeping at the foot of Buddha
For the choice you made.
We were just gettin' to the good part
Just gettin' past the mystery
Oh, and it's just like you
It's just like you to disagree.
And it's strange but it's true
You just slipped out of view
Like that dude by his car
On a bus to Northstar
And you chase me like a shadow
And you haunt me like a ghost
And I hate you some and I love you some
But I miss you most.
--- Instrumental ---
On a bus to Northstar, California
I thought I saw you there
With the snow falling down
Around like a silent prayer...
Some songs are special, this is one of those.
I saw Gretchen Peters perform this at the Bluebird Cafe.
A lady said in a scoffing voice, "i heard this song was about someone who committed suicide."
To which Gretchen responded, "It is."
This has been one of my favorite Trisha songs forever. Now that my Mom passed it means so much more.
Such a haunting beautiful song ....I still look for my Beloved Dad's Face even 42 years after his untimely passing 😣😣This song gets me every time.
The summit of TY's catalogue, absolute perfection.
The first time I heard this song on the radio, I had to pull my car over to stop and listen to it. As someone who knows the endless sadness of loves that came and went, I felt it was a song that my heart had been singing for decades and finally Trisha had given it voice.
So well written!! I had the same experience.
some things will always haunt us like a ghost.
+Jim Southern I have always felt the exact same way about this song.
Gretchen Peters actually wrote this song, but Trisha does sing it beautifully.
Hey Jim....being not too bad with words either.....I have to compliment you on those lines.......People like you should be writing books or biographies ....to give the ones that arent this gifted a voice...Cheers man....Roger
I'm from St. Cloud so this song really hits me. I feel a sense of comfort and hometown pride everytime I hear it. I'm even taking the bus to New York this month. I'll have to try to take one to LA and New Orleans as well.
+Jennifer Schreifels IMO St. Cloud is a great town. I lived there about 10 years. I love St Cloud being Marshall's hometown in How I Met Your Mother.
Hey St.Cloud-Jennifer.....,you have all the right to feel a sense of hometown pride........Your last name though rings german....right? I am in germany right now...and heard that name a couple of times....And wasnt there this movie with Tobey Maguire.....The cider house rules.....where the orphanage was also called St.Clouds ? Got to watch it.....just wonderful... Cheers.Roger
Hoping that all your journeys are with a light heart

I don't know where I've been but I heard this song for the first time a week ago. Could not stop the tears while listening. Gretchen is truly a gifted writer and must have been thinking of Trisha as the performer because no one could do it better. Can't help being moved by this song and performer.
I miss you Dad..such good memories of singing this song with you
I have always loved this song, from the first time I heard it, everyone has someone they miss, in February my friend passed away.
Just the simple reason music can touch your soul like absolutely nothing else. I'm told the Bible says that we have music in eternity and this is how we skirt the edges of the spiritual world. Something about this song makes you stop your busy life for a moment and think about lost love, what could've been. Just awesome.
Love this song - I ride the bus there daily to get to St. Cloud State University.
How bout THat?
On a bus to St. Cloud, Minnesota
I thought I saw you there
With the snow falling down around you
Like a silent prayer
And once on a street in New York City
With the jazz and the sin in the air
And once on a cold L.A. freeway
Going nowhere
And it's strange, but it's true
I was sure it was you
Just a face in the crowd
On a bus to St. Cloud
In a church in downtown New Orleans
I got down on my knees and prayed
And I wept in the arms of Jesus
For the choice you made
We were just gettin' to the good part
Just gettin' past the mystery
Oh, and it's just like you, it's just like you
To disagree
And it's strange but it's true
You just slipped out of view
Like a face in the crowd
On a bus to St. Cloud
And you chase me like a shadow
And you haunt me like a ghost
And I hate you some, and I love you some
But I miss you most
On a bus to St. Cloud, Minnesota
I thought I saw you there
With the snow falling down around you
Like a silent prayer

Thanks for this!! ✌🏻❤
thankyou so much for this
God...what an amazing song......you connect immediately - somehow we are all passengers on this bus to St Cloud.......everybody ...haunted by our own ghost.......
I live in st.cloud mn :)
And those gone on before us......
I know this well- spent half my life listening to it for how many times I took double takes when I thought I seen my first husband died car accident a year after we married - his twin survived- my hear skips a beat for chase me like shadow haunt me like ghost hste you - love so miss you most - his funeral 8 inches of snow remember toes were frozen.
I'm so sorry for your loss. It would be so hard seeing his twins image, but know he lives on in his twin and in you for the love you shared. I heard someone say recently that the loves that go before us live on through the things we see in our eyes. You'll Peace see him again. This journey on this earth is so short. They are waiting just behind the sunrise and the sunset. Peace be with you, honey.💕
A beautiful voice singing a beautiful song with magic lyrics.
This song reminds me of an old girl friend Dianne Correll. She was one of the hardest workers I have ever known. I had so much respect for her. She was tragically killed in a car wreck at age17. She is someone I will never forget...
One of my favorite karaoke songs!!
to my old friend Carl Scott.. who flung himself off Spirit Rock in Wiarton On.. 1995.. 23 yrs old.
Carl.. you do haunt me.
Breaks my heart every time I see this video. Truly exceptional. Her voice, the song, the video. Just amazing.
We don't use busses and trains as much now, when there are planes and freeways. I sometimes wish we were back in the time when it was common to take busses and travel more slowly. It allows reflection. I can remember a couple of memorable bus trips, and it is a different feeling than when one takes a plane or drives. Memory plays tricks with our seeing, and one might imagine one is seeing someone who is not there if one wants to find them again. This song evokes this feeling very well. The video is good too. It does seem as though the constant freeway expansions are making it harder and harder to relate to the landscape as we speed on our way, however. At least the trains do not seem to have this inflationary tendency. The tracks don't simply keep widening across the landscape as fast.
4 years late I know but this is a beautiful comment, holy hell. Agreed 100%
90s female country. This music is Freudian to me almost. Nostalgia hitting harrrd. Trisha Yearwood, The Judd's, Shania Twain ♥️ Emmylou Harris
Beautiful song ❤
Love ❤

Happy birthday 🎉Trisha Yearwood have a blessed day!
🎈✨🧁🥳
Love Trisha!! Im from Minnesota 😊
I'm from st cloud lol
Love this! One of the great "sad songs" of all time. Thanks.
Beautiful song. credit to Gretchen Peters for writing this.
Glen King who gives a shit who wrote this. Trisha sings it that's all that matters
Gretchen as she always does-did an outstanding job writing this song... Trisha Yearwood did an Amazing job singing it as well!!
Can't sing 'em if someone like Gretchen doesn't write 'em...beautiful song from 2 beautiful women
@@countrygirlcountrymusiclov5831 Plenty give a shit and Grethen wrote and sings it and I'm sure Trisha more than most, actually gives a shit.
@@countrygirlcountrymusiclov5831 What an assinine comment. Gretchen Peters is an awesome songwriter, and this is what she wrote. Grow up. Discover Gretchen Peters. She has written many great songs that are worth hearing. Trisha Yearwood nails this song; on that we can agree. The combination of the songwriting and singing makes this a near perfect song.
I have many CD's of Trisha and this has been one of my most favourite ones. The atmosphere in this song is just beautiful and can really make me cry too.
god I love her music I really love this one lots.
one of "thee" voices of all time.
This is my favorite Trisha song. While it didn't do well on the charts, due to its subject matter (suicide), it just beautifully paints a heartbreaking picture in the lyrics. Kudos to Gretchen Peters for writing this song.
"I hate you some, I love you some but I miss you the most."
Beautiful song. Love it!
No, credit to Trisha for making it real. My grandmother died 20 years ago. She was my soul mate. I was 20. Now I am 40 and I still see her everywhere.
I really love your comment. My Mom just sent me this song recently. I had never heard it before. My grandmother died several months ago. She was everything to me. I see her everywhere too.
@@francescarubino9453 mine died in June. She raised me and was my best friend and hero. This song so deeply touched me on a different level though. 5 years ago today, my fiance and I got on a bus to Denver. It was there that I lost him to drugs. I've also lost too many friends to OD. This song has the musical quality of being universally applicable to any situation of loss, grief, regret, and that agonizing question of what might have been.
such feeling/emotion in the way she sings
Stunning i love this its simply the best version wonderful voice true class .
David Doyle it's the only version
@@countrygirlcountrymusiclov5831 Just in case you haven't yet run across it, here's a performance by the original singer/songwriter, Gretchen Peters. ua-cam.com/video/WnHjoFkE6Ts/v-deo.html Both are great!
(Yearwood will reportedly be recording another of Peters' songs, "The Matador," on an upcoming album.)
This is my all time favourite country song sometimes a song comes along u just love on a bus to st cloud is it for me
i love her i love her voice i done this at karaoke and many other songs by her i want to visit this place it is so breath taking
I can't even imagine anything so very sad as someone never falling head over heels in Love. That sweet kiss that all others are compared to and will fall far short of, that long lasting memory. The smell of her hair still lingers, the feel of her skin next to you, the sound of her laughter, the emotion in her eyes as she looks into yours. The perfect fit of her hand in yours.... The laugh lines around her eyes. Some say Love is a one time thing, some seem to find it, only to forget their way home to her heart.......
one of the greatest tracks i have ever heard.In my top 10 of all time.Terry in London
i love this song.
Can't listen to this Song Enough! Beautiful!

Love this song ♥️🎼🎵🎤
You chase me like a shadow...and you haunt me like a ghost...I hate you so...and I love you so...but I miss you most ...Oh how I miss you...♥️
Trisha Yearwood is an amazing woman. Her choice of songs, the ones with deep rich lyrics, are always spot on when I need to escape.
My absolute favourite Trisha Yearwood song! I love her voice. And the story of lost love is heartbreaking.
Great singer and brill piano
OMG if people don't get this song???? Come on its so good. I feel like in 10 or 15 years or so an artist will cover this and it will be huge. Which makes no difference cause Trisha owns this
I LOVE this song for so many reasons....I was once in love with a man from St. Cloud. He didn't even know about this song until I finally told him and I had married someone else. (someone that I love.) I still love the song. It was one of my past.
Hello Victoria from the far north of England , 20-12-20.
I read your ... ' letter ' a few moments ago and was struck by your truth . Searched on and in a moment made it back to your
words . Perhaps the resonance of both this song and your words is that for lesser or greater distances ... a lot of us have also been ... ' On A Bus To St.Cloud ' We have all missed someone in a moment ... or by a turn of the head away , for a reason best known by God . I know your's was and is a far more protracted ... 'experience' ... I wish you well in every way . And all others alighting or departing ... ' On A Bus To St.Cloud ' . . .
Hello Donald. You wrote me because of my comment on the song by Trisha Yearwood, " On a Bus to St. Cloud"
I've been very happily married for 25 yrs to my 2nd husband.
Before he even came into my life I was in love with someone else and it just wasn't meant to be. God had other plans for me.
The other man before him was from St Cloud, MN. So when I hear this song once in a while, it does take me back in time to old memories. I think music does that to everyone. Like love and grief, happiness and sadness, music and lyrics touch our hearts and souls. When that person is gone for whatever reason, we have our memories and the songs that remind us of certain times in our lives. You're right, "we've all missed someone in a moment..." and so many of us HAVE BEEN on that Bus to St. Cloud.
Thank you for caring enough to write.
Many blessings to you David ~

Gosh she is so good
Another great Gretchen Peters song (Independence Day; Uncivil War; Don't Even Know Who I Am, etc.)
Not sure how it is that I've only just discovered this song, but it grabs you by heart every single time. Her voice is so perfect for this music, touches deep in my soul.

Great line from a great song writer. Gretchen Peters
makes me cry every time
Sad song, always makes me cry. 😥
This is the first time I’m hearing this song, and I love it
Ok, I did not know this song was about a suicide. It could be about a lost love, as well. It’s so beautifully done.
Shiver worthy song done so beautifully by Mrs. Brooks.
This is my all-time favorite of Trisha's songs. Why it isn't or wasn't publicized I don't know.
