I felt this song from these two amazing artists down in my bones. I had to dance to it because I felt as if Jesus was singing through Mavis and Jeff's lyrics to me. He has said," I will never leave you nor forsake you." His promise has held me close for decades of loneliness and struggle. Thank you Mr.Tweedy for the words and tune, thank you Mavis for singing God's promise to all of the lonely ones listening.There are many of us that have been comforted by your gifts.
A once in a life time voice and personality! Blessed to have shared a stage with this legend! It is awesome to hear her sounding so great still! You can still bring it Mavis! You can't lose What God has for you... Keep using your gift my sister...
the tweedy and staples collaboration is a beautiful thing. love the song. love her voice. the production on the album is also so good. love what tweedy did with that.
This song is amazing, I live in a very large multi city area. Life is hard and i see things personally and on the news happen around me. This song makes me sure theres hope.
Can I start camping outside my local CD store on the night of September 13th? The world needs to hear Mavis Staples & Jeff Tweedy, a genuine antidote for fear and despair. Bring on the HOPE!
I LOVE THIS SONG AND THIS ACOUSTIC VERSION IS GREAT THANKS FOR REMINDING ME THAT AFTER BROKEN DREAMS AND BROKEN HEARTS I AM NOT ALONE I HAVE MAVIS SINGING I LOVE YOU MAVIS KEEP ON SINGING!
OHMYGOSH! The chemistry between these two is so beautiful. Their souls are genuinely connecting. They're feeling it. The little exchanges and giggles (I LOVE where Mavis starts to sing her line early on "you're not alone" and kind of makes the "whoops!" face and they chuckle). This is an amazing example of the healing and uniting power of music. A middle aged white guy who played druggie rock n roll and an elderly black lady who sang gospel wouldn't be a likely pairing for some, but music transcends social barriers and finds common love. Truly beautiful in every way.
Yeah I'm feeling it too! Also i just noticed that she messes up the lyrics after the guitar part, right around 2:55. And you can see in her face when she realizes what she just said and they're both having a little laugh and it all becomes even more beautiful. It seems like it makes them relax even more. A really great performance with such simple means. Loooove it!
@@evanbritton4859 I also thought this is an unfair label for Wilco, especially when you add in his ouevre from Uncle Tupelo too, I think he's got a strong emotional depth that "druggie rock and roll" diminishes.
this is so beautiful and so perfect for this crazy time we're living in, where we are all staying apart so that we can eventually be together again. Thank you Mavis for your incredible voice, so genuine and motherly.
This is the best version. I feel the record and live versions with backup took away from this great song. Mavis phased the words just right here with pure feelings at the right time. Great songwriter and vocals. Don't get no better then this.
I cry every time I listen to this song. I used it at end the movie I did for my parents’ 50th wedding anniversary. Totally not appropriate for them; they’ve now been married for 60 years and my home wasn’t broken, but it is for my children.
I haven't been able to stop listening to this song since I saw them perform it on Colbert. It just really touched me. Makes you feel stronger threw the lonely times, sometimes.
@JewlsR4ever... I feel it too.. I 'm listening over and over again, Her voice, her tone, her soul.... moves me like no other. Kudos to Tweedy for writing a powerful song that she just owns. Peace.
This song, as sung & played by this duet, is really special...I love the line...this is a raid...it's so powerful & poignant...Mavis Staples is such an iconic woman...I love her voice
Wow! I can feel my soul resonating and it feels good. Only just discovered this diamond after watching jools holland hootenanny 2017, you sing with the spirit of God and it's so peaceful to my soul to hear it. Loads of love from a white chap haha yes we have a soul too and like your's my love, we are all one .X
every time I think about just ending it all, I listen to this and decide to stick around a little longer.
Don't give up my friend. Life is a gift amd profoundly beautiful ❤️
I hope you're still here, wherever you are.
I hope you're still with us. ❤️
Stick around....😊🤠😎
Great hanging out. Thanks.
♥️♥️♥️Mavis!!!

Probably the best song Tweedy has written.
Beautiful Mr. Tweedy with his beautiful songs and Mavis' voice. Wow.
Open up this is a raid. I want to get it through to you. You are not alone.
One of the best lines ever
jeff tweedy has to go down as one of the best songwriters of our generation. put him right up there with dylan, young, whomever in my opinion.
A very important sign in this crazy times.....your are not alone - bless you and greetings from germany
Took my then 9 year old to see Dylan. Mavis opened. Been mesmerized ever since.
This gives me chills every time I hear it, and see Mavis and Jeff Tweedy together!
A once in a life time voice and personality! Blessed to have shared a stage with this legend! It is awesome to hear her sounding so great still! You can still bring it Mavis! You can't lose What God has for you... Keep using your gift my sister...
Yeah, shes awesome...praise God!
In the throes of a divorce this song says everything you need to hear.
WOW just wow...
It doesn´t get much better than this! Totally amazing!
A huge gift we all got here.
the tweedy and staples collaboration is a beautiful thing. love the song. love her voice. the production on the album is also so good. love what tweedy did with that.

Well, Mavis Staples did almost marry Bob Dylan and they dated for 7 years or so in the 60s! It's too bad they never did much collaborative stuff.
Yeah I'm feeling it too! Also i just noticed that she messes up the lyrics after the guitar part, right around 2:55.

Have you ever listened to wilco? I wouldn't call them druggie rock n roll.
@@evanbritton4859 I also thought this is an unfair label for Wilco, especially when you add in his ouevre from Uncle Tupelo too, I think he's got a strong emotional depth that "druggie rock and roll" diminishes.
I love Wilco. He definitely had several songs about drugs. It’s well documented about his earlier issues.
oh man this song is SO beautiful.
America's Favorite Songwriter approves
powerful. jeff tweedy wrote that. God bless Chicago.
I love this woman! This latest recording of hers is absolutely awesome. I listen to it almost everyday. I can't get enough it. God bless you, Mavis.
She is superb. And the wondrous Mr. Tweedy wrote this song for her.
This is as good as it gets
Way to shine a light!
Beautiful soul.
I love this song. I love the album. So good.
Luv you Miss Mavis
The most beautiful and touching song this side Amazing Grace... I got a couple tears...
If this song doesn't choke you up, your broken.
this is so beautiful and so perfect for this crazy time we're living in, where we are all staying apart so that we can eventually be together again. Thank you Mavis for your incredible voice, so genuine and motherly.
She's still got it. Talent and style
We are not alone! Thank you from far east.
Beautiful!
two great underrated musicians getting together to jam is cool
Pure beauty.... those lyrics....hard to explain what I am feeling right now
I love this song so much.
This is the best version. I feel the record and live versions with backup took away from this great song. Mavis phased the words just right here with pure feelings at the right time. Great songwriter and vocals. Don't get no better then this.
One thing that REALLY Got to ME was this song. EXCELLENT!!!

sydandtaytum same
This song goes straight to all my deepest pain and holds out an open hand.
Me, too. It helps me so much.......I love her.
Me too!
I cry every time I listen to this song. I used it at end the movie I did for my parents’ 50th wedding anniversary. Totally not appropriate for them; they’ve now been married for 60 years and my home wasn’t broken, but it is for my children.
Beautiful. Beautiful. Beautiful.
