When Emmylou Harris recorded Leonard Cohen's "Ballad of a Runaway Horse, he wrote her this note: Dear Emmylou Harris, Thank you for singing that song of mine. You brought it to a place I could never get to. And thank you for putting into the crowded air, and establishing it there for all to feel, the beauty, the dignity and the loneliness of America itself. In the midst of all the bewildering directions your voice takes us home. With deep gratitude, Leonard Cohen"
I lost my girl Dec 12 2023 she was all I ever wanted. She was a horse woman and I was her cowboy and we had 22 beautiful years together .....God I yern for her😢
My Laurie was tougher then the rest. She has passed away December 12, 23. Listening to her tow favorite artists Emmy and Merle bring me a strange feeling of loss and gratefulness for having those incredible 21 years together.
Emmylou Harris and Leonard Cohen...two voices...from the same musical heart...both sang this song with the words so clear...both sang this song from memories so dear...and I'm thanking God for my ears and my beer...resurrecting my own past...old lost thoughts aged in time...far more sincere...
I thought I would use your statement to plug a girl whose fame never grew beyond the borders of her country which is Ireland. Her name is Donna Taggart and I will link her most successful song though most songs she sings are great and her covers are usually better than someone else's original. I love Emmy Lou so don't get me wrong on that ruclips.net/video/0n67dSG35L4/видео.html
I can't stop crying. My dad was a cowboy too, my grandfather a blacksmith. Some of my dearest memories are just hanging out with my horses. Standing in a cold barn on a rainy day, brushing my horse, sharing deep secrets, feeling a connection that can never be broken. It's the spirit of freedom and love. These things we share with other cowgirls, whether in life, or by proxy. Thank you my sister cowgirl. Your video has touched a secret place in my heart!
She’s absolutely peerless. She leads, follows, harmonises, supports and is incomparable. This is priceless. Txs Emmy for the beauty of your music. From Gram to the Boss, M Knopfler and some I have not heard of. 🙏. I hope I discover more of your beautiful music.
An angel's voice that soothes us. Every time I hear Emmylou (every day) I get more impressed. And I've been following for over 46 years !!! Emmylou, perfect ...
There's not another woman breathing who could sing this song like EmmyLou. Every pulse of each vibrato is from the heart.... such an amazingly beautiful performance of an incredible song.
This woman, is so irrepressible and irresistible, I can't imagine life without her. Quite the true delight, in every aspect. Emmylou, you are number one, without doubt
@@gracegallegos5307 I met her backstage twice, years apart, but she remembered me the 2nd time. The 2nd time I got to hang out with the Nash Ramblers. The first time I saw her she was performing at a music festival at a ranch in the Malibu Hills. Her band at the time had Ricky Skaggs, Rodney Crowell, and I think Albert Lee. Emmylou was wearing a purple t-shirt and jeans. Instantly became a fan. I found out about the music festival from a radio show Linda Ronstadt did with Bobby Kimmel where she said how great Emmylou was. (I won a Doc Watson album by calling in!) Bought the ticket, drove up the day of the festival, PCH was blocked by a Big Rock falling on the road and blocking traffic. Traffic backed up miles but I finally got my car turned about and took a very long detour to get to the ranch. Hot day, everyone was in a good mood and the music was the best ever. Somewhere i still have pictures. Back then they allowed SLR's into concerts, even with big lenses.
What a beautiful song performed by a beautiful lady--a fellow Alabamian. It's not necessary to be able to interpret every single nuance of Leonard Cohen's lyrics in order to be moved by this rendition. It still speaks to the soul. Thank you, EmmyLou, for so many hours of musical pleasure.
Honoring the memory of my father who a day like today, April 10, 2020 twenty six years ago crossed that final door, the one that patiently waits for us all. He never heard this song nor knew Leonard Cohen or Emmy Lou Harris, but he loved horses and endured a few terrible loses. He was generous to a fault and I still miss him. Hearing the pain and yearning of this masterwork I inevitably think of him.
Lovely thoughts. I have lately had the song "Harvest Moon" running through my mind, concurrent with thoughts of Pegi Young, for whom the song was written, and who passed away 4 years ago. Music is like hands held across the gap.
Many years ago I worked a trucker, I arrived one night in a gas station in France, I went into the station and I looked at the CD, I saw one with a lady and a guitar, it was Emmylou, I did not know it but I bought that CD, I have fallen in love with her voice and listening to it with great pleasure, and this song can listen to her for a whole day without getting bored
Yes you're quite wright, Leonard words, his vision and Emmylou's voice and expression. Great !! This performance is a jewel in a box, sometimes you open it and let it go...
Most songs that are deep and abiding are meant to be listened to like one would view a great piece of visual art. Art museums are quiet, contemplative spaces where one can view the paintings and sculpture with the concentration needed to appreciate and understand them. This song can only be presented to an audience that hasn't heard it, but will TAKE THE TIME TO SHUT UP AND LISTEN to its simple beauty and deep meaning. Unfortunately, most music venues would not be a good place for this incredible ballad.
This song I dedicate to my mom…..a cowgirl from the time she was born. She learned trick riding from the old cowboy movies from the 40’s. She rode her horse to school in San Diego back when it was still country (Mission Valley)
Just want to thank everyone for such nice posting on this video. The story of the song always reminded me of my wife and myself and how we relate to one another.
She is one of the two greatest female singers of my time. We grew up together. With her friend Linda Rondstadt who is the other voice that soothes my old soul. I can't even believe how many songs she has sung with her magical ways and her many duets with other great singers. It doesn't seem like she ever gets old. I've loved her since I first heard her with Gram Parsons. And Linda. You too have the voice of an Angel. My only wish was that you didn't leave country for a few albums because then we could have more songs the way you sing the best. I love you both and you have made my life much more beautiful. Now my son loves you both too and we also love you Emmy with John Prine who is such a talented writer and singer. Peace and love to all.
EmmyLou Harris, definitely one of the top female singers of all time, such a sweet voice that is just incredible, beautiful just like this beautiful lady, thank you for this
All little girls love their horses. How epic and how poetic. To have EmilyLou sing a ballad to these little girls and their hopes and the aching of their young hearts does an old man good. Love you, EmilyLou.
Say a prayer for the cowgirl her horse ran away She'll walk 'til she finds him her darlin' her stray But the river's in flood and the roads are awash And the bridges break up in the panic of loss And there's nothin' to follow nowhere to go He's gone like the summer gone like the snow And the crickets are breaking her heart with their song As the day caves in and the night is all wrong Did she dream it was he who went galloping past And bent down the fern broke open the grass And printed the mud with the well-hammered shoe That she nailed to his speed in the dreams of her youth And although he goes grazin' a minute away She tracks him all night she tracks him all day And she's blind to his presence except to compare Her injury here with his punishment there Then at home on a branch on a high stream A songbird sings out so suddenly And the sun is warm and the soft winds ride On a willow tree by the riverside An the world is sweet and world is wide And he's there where the light and the darkness divide And the steam's comin' off him he's huge and he's shy And he steps on the moon when he paws at the sky And he comes to her hand but he's nor really tame He longs to be lost she longs for the same And he'll bolt and he'll plunge thru the first open pass To roll and to feed in the sweet mountain grass Or he'll make a break for the high plateau Where there's nothing above and noting below It's time for their burden the whip and the spur Will she ride with him or will he ride with her So she binds herself to her galloping steed And he binds himself to the woman in need And there is no space just left and right And there is no time but there is day and night Then she learns on his neck and whispers low Whither thou goest I will go And they turn as one the head for the plain No need for the whip oh no need for the rain Now the clasp of this union who fastens it tight Who snaps it asunder the very next night Some say it's him some say it's her Some say love's like smoke beyond all repair So my darlin' my darlin' just let go by That old silhouette on the great western sky And I'll pick out a tune and they'll move right along And they're gone like smoke and they're gone like this song Say a prayer for the cowgirl
I somehow never heard this song before and am in a state of complete if not stupified amazement. It's astonishing how much this conveys that has little or nothing to do with horses, while constantly evoking them in such immediate and moving detail. Rarely do song lyrics succeed so well as poetry, and Emmylou's rendition is characteristically sublime.
This absolutely wonderful ballad presentation by EmmyLou and with the visuals so perfectly arranged to merge with her vocals, should be placed in a time capsule to remind us what humanity really is. A work of art!
Poignantly beautiful. When life fiercely claws you, a handful of Leonard Cohen’s songs do the illusion of healing. Given what is going on nowadays , January 2020, that’s plenty.
I remember my Mother used to play her songs when she wants to relax...and it's really tug the heart when i hear her beautiful voice..ohh sweet old memories
I can't get enough of this beautiful song but the video makes this shockingly beautiful. Great job! I am a devoted Cohen fan and this version is the flesh an the structure he created. a credit to everyone. Thanks for posting. I have the song on CD but don't care to listen to it ravenously without the pictures!
There is something very sublime about a certain kind of song that has, melody or lyrics or harmony that really does something to the core of yourself. This is one of those songs for me. Just magical
It was early 1970’s at the Harvard Square Theater and the P.A. was not working. Emmylou had the house lights dimmed, she walks to the front of the stage and belted out a full show. Legend. Anyone that was there that night knew one thing for certain, that god must exist. Only god can bless us with angels.
Love EMMYLOU and all her songs, but "Love Is" probably my favorite ...the version with the awesome acoustics! Those 4 notes just blow me away. I don't know enough about instruments to determine what that deep sound is & who plays it. I can listen to this one over & over! 💓
I've listened to so many of Emmylou Harris's solos, duets and all. This ballad is, for me, the pinnacle. Haunting melody, incredible emotion - utter dedication to her chosen task. - MOON BEAR SPEAKS - Montana/UK
When Emmylou Harris recorded Leonard Cohen's "Ballad of a Runaway Horse, he wrote her this note:

A poetic note.
I start to sob at the start of the second verse. And stop about half an hour after this beautiful song finishes. Every single time.
Her voice will do that to you. It's so beautiful.
I’m glad I’m not alone, neighbor
I lost my girl Dec 12 2023 she was all I ever wanted. She was a horse woman and I was her cowboy and we had 22 beautiful years together .....God I yern for her😢
que votre coeur soit consolé
i am so sorry for your loss
I hope your memories bring you comfort.
I'm so sorry for your loss ❤️
I also lost my dear merrie she was my heart my everything i miss here year after year....😢😢😢
I don’t listen to country music. But I listen to everything this this spirit sings.

I can’t listen to this beautiful song without tears for my beloved horses that have passed on. ❤
Avec Joan Baez, Emmylou est la seule qui peut me donner des frissons et me faire pleurer en même temps. 💖💖💖
Gyönyörű kristály tiszta.hang elbűvölő
I think she has one of the most beautiful voices of all times.
This is a beautiful song, very intriguing.
Thank you
I thought I would use your statement to plug a girl whose fame never grew beyond the borders of her country which is Ireland. Her name is Donna Taggart and I will link her most successful song though most songs she sings are great and her covers are usually better than someone else's original. I love Emmy Lou so don't get me wrong on that

"There are only two kinds of men in the world. Those who love Emmy Lou and those who never met her." Willie Nelson
I'm both
@@rudolphguarnacci197 And I'm neither.
The thumbs down are some sort of different being.
I believe that was his comment about Linda Ronstadt
The same is true for women. I worship her.
Emmylou Harris is in my opinion the best female folk/western singer of all time.
Amen
You Betcha amigo
I would surely agree with you, except how do you explain Alison Kauss? It's a tough decision between the two of them.
@@hmichaelhawkins8532 Emmylou 1
Agree
She’s absolutely peerless. She leads, follows, harmonises, supports and is incomparable. This is priceless. Txs Emmy for the beauty of your music. From Gram to the Boss, M Knopfler and some I have not heard of. 🙏. I hope I discover more of your beautiful music.

Only 41 years for me. Hadn't heard this song in a very long time.
lucky you. i just discovered her.
PERFECT SONG!!!!
She is the Absolute Bloodiest Most Beautiful Angel God ever created ❤❤❤

I was in the Air Force McGuire. Got her autograph. It was in Valley Forge, PA. I was listening to her since 1974
Bravo emi

Leonard Cohen was one hell of a writer and Emmylou is one hell of a singer .
What a great song , I've always loved this song.
A beautiful Song und Video
Ich liebe diese Ballade. Gänsehaut pur.
Yesss!! ❤❤🇨🇭
Bei diesem Lied kommen einem die Tränen wenn man selbst ein Tier verloren hat das man sehr geliebt hat.
Love Emmylou and this song.Leonard Cohen had such a deep spiritual insight in his music.

Emmylou can flat out sing up a storm....she has such a beautiful angelic voice that just soothes me to the bone.......she is a real treat to your ears
the greatest female voice ever in my opinion!
You've got to add Whitney Houston to that list.

The pictures are fabulous too! They match.
Emmylou's voice carry's high over the Mountain's , She is the life and soul of Country Music
There is no better none
Emmylou's voice has always been magical to me...she makes me very happy.
This is an incredible song. How can there be so many masterpieces that so few are aware of? It's the world. It's the wrong world.
they didn't need to bother with the cheesy background vocals.
Emmylou loves harmonies-huge part of her soul. Rather heavenly....
Wasn't this from "The Ballad of Sally Rose?"
No, it's from "Cowgirl's Prayer."
Most songs that are deep and abiding are meant to be listened to like one would view a great piece of visual art.

Wonderful story
This entire album -- Cowgirl's Prayer -- is stunning. I play it a lot.
Is there a more elegant rendition of a ballad anywhere? I dont think so. Wow.
Jedermann,der Pferde liebt muß dieses Video lieben .Mit einer sehr guten Emmylou Kann ich es immerwieder sehen und hören .Thank you for posting it.
Just want to thank everyone for such nice posting on this video. The story of the song always reminded me of my wife and myself and how we relate to one another.
Utuber423 can you identify background art? Trying to find the artists whose work is used.
She is one of the two greatest female singers of my time. We grew up together. With her friend Linda Rondstadt who is the other voice that soothes my old soul.

I can not disagree , Emmylou and Linda , the very best .
Yup. Linda was good but Emmylou is unsurpassed.
Karen Mahoney gawd I just met her really. She's a cut above. She plays great guitar while she sings.
Although she is not a C & W recording artist you can add Connie Francis to the list of all time great femle voclists.
Linda is a good second but the two together is pure magic. Emmy-Lou is kinder,softer while linda is strong,with incredible range.
I have loved horses all my life.My first word was horsie.Nothing sweeter than smell of fresh cut hay and horses.Beautiful song & video.
You're so right. I even like the smell of their, well, how do I say it, or do I have to?
You were probably a Commanchie Indian in a past life.
Tried to explain the sweet conflagration of hay straw and horse poop to my city boy husband. He just doesn't get it
Eine wunderschöne Ballade und ein tolles Video, Danke
So very beautiful, her fetches all your life’s emotions out, beautiful stunning voice ❤️
Una canzone molto bella,per una voce unica...meravigliosa!😊😍😘🎶🎸🎶💘💓💕💋💯🌅🍀
Emmylou once said she sings for the feelings she experiences singing the song. She conveys them beautifully in every song she sings.
I thank God everyday for being able to experience the joy, sadness, reflection, and most of all, the beauty of sound such as this.. Sheer brilliance.
EmmyLou Harris, definitely one of the top female singers of all time, such a sweet voice that is just incredible, beautiful just like this beautiful lady, thank you for this
I keep coming back to the song. So beautiful.
All little girls love their horses. How epic and how poetic. To have EmilyLou sing a ballad to these little girls and their hopes and the aching of their young hearts does an old man good. Love you, EmilyLou.
Total agreement from another old man. Been in love with Emmy since 1977 , when she was opening for Willie. I was 17. Been in love ever since!
What have I been missing never heard this beautiful so before & I've been a fan since I first heard Emmylou back in the 70's.Thank you RUclips
Say a prayer for the cowgirl her horse ran away
She'll walk 'til she finds him her darlin' her stray
But the river's in flood and the roads are awash
And the bridges break up in the panic of loss
And there's nothin' to follow nowhere to go
He's gone like the summer gone like the snow
And the crickets are breaking her heart with their song
As the day caves in and the night is all wrong
Did she dream it was he who went galloping past
And bent down the fern broke open the grass
And printed the mud with the well-hammered shoe
That she nailed to his speed in the dreams of her youth
And although he goes grazin' a minute away
She tracks him all night she tracks him all day
And she's blind to his presence except to compare
Her injury here with his punishment there
Then at home on a branch on a high stream
A songbird sings out so suddenly
And the sun is warm and the soft winds ride
On a willow tree by the riverside
An the world is sweet and world is wide
And he's there where the light and the darkness divide
And the steam's comin' off him he's huge and he's shy
And he steps on the moon when he paws at the sky
And he comes to her hand but he's nor really tame
He longs to be lost she longs for the same
And he'll bolt and he'll plunge thru the first open pass
To roll and to feed in the sweet mountain grass
Or he'll make a break for the high plateau
Where there's nothing above and noting below
It's time for their burden the whip and the spur
Will she ride with him or will he ride with her
So she binds herself to her galloping steed
And he binds himself to the woman in need
And there is no space just left and right
And there is no time but there is day and night
Then she learns on his neck and whispers low
Whither thou goest I will go
And they turn as one the head for the plain
No need for the whip oh no need for the rain
Now the clasp of this union who fastens it tight
Who snaps it asunder the very next night
Some say it's him some say it's her
Some say love's like smoke beyond all repair
So my darlin' my darlin' just let go by
That old silhouette on the great western sky
And I'll pick out a tune and they'll move right along
And they're gone like smoke and they're gone like this song
Say a prayer for the cowgirl
The best song ever!... 🎶
Thank you so much... ...🎼💙

Makes my heart race immediately and can’t breathe. 😥
i just can't seem to get enough of this beautiful song !
What a God awful beautiful song combining the talents of Emmy Lou and Leonard Cohen.
God awful? Hmmm. Not to me. So beautiful is her voice i grew up on in the 70s
