One of the best versions of this phenomenal song. The emotion is gut-wrenching.

Wonderful song. Sung beautifully. Great to actually see the singer herself.... this day, in the early hours of 15 January 2025.

Beautiful. Tender and soulful.

Superba melodia! Superba interpretarea! Omagiu marilor Johny Cash si Kris Kristofferson! Am tinut sa le transmit aprecierea in limba sufletului meu.

Galaxy Express 999 is a Japanese manga series. It is written and illustrated by Leiji Matsumoto, later adapted into a number of anime films and television series. It is set in a spacefaring, high-tech future in which humans have learned how to transfer their minds and emotions with perfect fidelity into mechanical bodies, thus achieving practical immortality. Plot: An impoverished ten-year-old named Tetsuro Hoshino desperately wanted an indestructible machine body, giving him the ability to live forever and have the freedom that the unmechanized do not have. While machine bodies are impossibly expensive, they are supposedly given away for free on the planet Andromeda, the end of the line for the Galaxy Express 999, a space train that only comes to Earth once a year. The series begins with Tetsuro and his mother making their way to Megalopolis where they hope to get jobs to pay for passes for the 999. Along the way, however, Count Mecha and a gang of "human hunters" kill Tetsuro's mother. Before she dies, she tells him to continue the journey they started and to get a machine body to live the eternal life she could not. Tetsuro tries to forge on toward the city alone but is quickly overcome by the brutal cold and wind. As he succumbs, he cries out an apology to his mother for failing to fulfill her wish and hopes that in his next life, he will be born as a robot to begin with. Tetsuro is surprised to awaken by the fireplace in the home of a beautiful woman, Maetel, who is the spitting image of his dead mother. Maetel tells him she had heard the entire incident with a long-range directional microphone she had been idly scanning around the area with. Maetel offers him an unlimited use pass for the 999 if he will be her traveling companion, to which Tetsuro agrees. She provides him with a gun and directs him to the Count's residence, telling him that the Count and his henchmen will be too distracted with their revelries to defend themselves against a surprise attack. Tetsuro bursts in on them in their meeting hall and cuts them down with a spray of gunfire. With the Earth police in hot pursuit, Tetsuro and Maetel flee the planet aboard the 999. Along the way, Tetsuro has many adventures on many different and exotic planets and meets many kinds of people, both human and alien, living and machine. Increasingly, Tetsuro realizes that a machine body will not fix all of his problems. Most of the machine people[a] he meets regret the decision to give up their humanity. Eventually, Tetsuro and Maetel reach the Planet Prometheum, the final stop for the 999. He is shocked by the cruelty and indolence of the machine people there and witnesses a mechanized human committing suicide, an event to which the others react with scoffs and derision. He asks the dying man why he wished to end his life, and is told that eternal life on Prometheum is utterly empty of joy or purpose. When Tetsuro mentions the name of his traveling companion, the man is horrified and tells him that Maetel is the daughter of Queen Prometheum, the supreme ruler of the Machine Empire and that she is thoroughly untrustworthy. Tetsuro is outraged at having been kept in the dark and rushes off to confront Maetel. Maetel is at a loss for words, but a government spokeswoman inserts herself into their conversation and begins giving answers on Maetel's behalf. Tetsuro is not impressed and he storms off in a blind fury. Tetsuro does not understand why he has been betrayed by Maetel, but Maetel has plans of her own and seeks to destroy the mechanized civilization. With the help of her father, Dr. Ban (only named in the film), whose consciousness resides in a pendant she wears around her neck, Maetel destroys her mother and the planet. Afterward, Maetel and Tetsuro return to the penultimate station on the Planet of Bats where Tetsuro tells Maetel his intention to return to Earth and lead it toward a new future. Maetel, proud of Tetsuro for his decision to reject mechanization, tells him she has something to take care of and that he should board first, but Tetsuro finds a letter from Maetel telling him that it is time for them to part ways. Maetel had secretly boarded the 777 (three-seven), a nearby train, with the intention of "leading another boy to his future", but it is unclear as to whether or not this means that the Mechanization Empire still exists elsewhere, or if Maetel will lead the boy to some other "future". The series ends as the trains both depart the Planet of Bats.

love it ! Eamonn !

Ein schönes Duo mit Cash's Tochter. Der Vater hatte diesen Kristofferson Song jahrelang im Reportoi. NUN KÖNNEN SIE ES IM Himmel gemeinsam singen.

I love this song!

Adoro la version de Willie Nelson 1979❤

Best was Old Grey Whistle Test...by a HUGE margian.

Rest easy Kris - the music lives on

It doesn't get any better than this. Best ever.🎉❤🎉

Kriss is my favourite songwriter and poet. This rendition is simply beautiful.❤️

It is amazing to me she can sing this song so well while reading the lyrics. I have always been a huge Rosanne fan. Kris isthe epitome of cool.

Beautiful

Beautiful song love them together 🎉

Best both brilliant. Thank you 🎉

My God that was beautiful.

Oh i loved those 2 singing this song. Does make chills up your back and tears flowing . I'm 88 so those songs are so heart retching .

Lullaby of Takeda (Takeda no Komoriuta), one of Beautiful Japanese Folk Songs, but in reality the lyrics of the song is including significant meanings, which is based on a sad folklore of a small girl, born at a very poor family in an isolated small village which is called "Takeda", located at current Fushimi-Ward, Kyoto Prefecture of Kansai Region. One day she was forcibly put out to service for a rich family of a landlord to earn their keep, whose house was located at the next village over a mountain even though she was an infant,. During the period of her bitter days, her dairy hard works carrying a small baby in her back always have reminded her of her family and a sweet home with looking at the silhouette of the mountains in the direction of her homeland. That is to say, such circumstances seem to have made her sing this song sadly in her mind, and which orally has been transmitted from people to people and changed to be a very beautiful lullaby across Kansai Region.

She is trying to ensure we don’t forget the contributions of Kris, Willie, Johnny, and Waylon. Good on you Rosanne

Feel like there's a mattress nearby they'll be adjourning to.

Brilliant !

One of country musics, monumental moments

What a prolific song writer. I would say he is the only singer were I really pay attention to the words.

Ray Price has a great version too

Kris and Rosanne just magical.

Kanonlåt
