If you planted hope today in any hopeless heart, if someone’s burden was lighter because you did your part, if you caused a laugh that chased a tear away, if tonight your name is mentioned when someone kneels to pray. Then your day was well spent.
This is what music should be about. Musicianship, melody, harmony, perfect interplay of the instrument, balance, no one trying to stand out only making music as it should be.
you can see that in the old videos when she wasn't famous yet. that's true talent. luckily she's so down to earth that she hasn't burned out like some others with equally great talent
Allison , I can still see you and your pet chicken walking down the sidewalk on hill street. Your neighbor across the street. You have the voice of an angel. Leon
+Mark Thompson Hey Mark i have been listening to Alison all night and I have been at a loss for words because I don't have enough time to say them all. You have summed it up for me. thanks , Love her! Great talent! Again thanks!
How can you not love this group. Allison has the voice of an Angle, Jerry Douglas has no equal, Dan and Ron are nothing less than amazing on guitar, mandolin, banjo and vocals.
alison....it has often been said.....has a voice of an angel...yes....she does because she is an angel.....100 per cent pure love shines through her soul....
Thanks Alison... for puttin bluegrass back on the horizon in a serious and tasteful way! And for what it's worth, I think David Letterman has been a great supporter of bluegrass and acoustic music in the past... Nice job, everyone :)
I saw Alison and US on Cape Cod in MA. Best show I have ever attended!! Worth twice the ticket proce and I couldn't get over the homogenous mix of attendees: white collar, blue collar, no collar, old, young (pre teen in some cases) and all of them were dead quiet when she and US struck it up.
Who would hate her? I have been following her in a christian band since 19. Now, I'm an atheist, but her voice reminds me of a Angel! If there was a angel that existed....Then I'm wrong. Proud 2 know her....I had the pleasure 2 meet her. In Georgia, My co. was part of the lighting and Audio. And I saw her backstage. A wonderful person and delight. She was talking 2 me that if her smelly armpits stinks. Pure Allison. That's about as human as you can get. She is beautiful inside and out!
She can do almost any style of music and make it hers. Just put on some headphones, close your eyes and listen to her voice and her band - magnificent.
Amazing. Beautiful. Pitch perfect with no autocorrect. No autotune, no vocoding, no thumping overly loud processing, Just talent. Stuff these days has been so overprocessed worse than cheap lunch meat. When did talent and musicianship go out of fashion? Compare/Contrast WAP. Get off my lawn!
Judi Harbin Thank you. My soul is weary and restless. There are times I wake up and only wish I didn't wake to another day. But I know it is because I have neglected God. After my mother died last year is when this started. Her death hurt me deep. But then I read this verse just now. It gives me hope.
Bless you, Michelle. My Mom just passed on Christmas Day, but what a glorious day she went on to no pain and suffering. She loved Jesus so much and she is with Him now. Be comforted!
Michelle Albarran you're amazing!!! Keep going. I'm trying so hard since my husband is leaving me. I NEED SOMETHING in my life. what I've been doing ain't working.....
All I know is the Angel Band has surely collected a lot of my favorite musicians this year-I'm not supposed to still be here-I guess I'm lucky or I've been blessed with another Miracle!
Let's also not forget to give credit to Aoife O'Donovan who wrote this amazing song. She too has a very beautiful voice. If you haven't heard of her before, check her out. Very talented singer/song writer!
I just saw (& heard, & spoke with) her! I attended an I'm With Her concert, and while I thought their singing was wonderful over the radio and online, in person (& 30 feet away!) was totally incredible! She is beautiful and very engaging - my new favorite of the three (though I will always appreciate Sara & Sarah). Of course, I have really enjoyed Alison Krauss for years - don't think I forgot her!
I am trained in the jazz music field, but occasionally I listen to high quality country music. This is definitely HIGH QUALITY and it reminds me of my carpet and upholstery cleaning days in summer rural territory.
I heard Allison and company sing Going to Carolina in my mind. Absolutely stunned me for the good. James Taylor was there in the audience, everyone was blown away. Truely a blessed talent.
The complex verses, dynamic choruses that touch all the deep notes back to the high one, it tittilates the senses.. they don't just repeat one catchy tune they create rythms and ride the waves through the spectrum of emotions, laying you down softly before blowing you gently back into the musical clouds of bliss like a feather so light of weight.. beauty
Eddie - you wrote the above 5 years ago - wish I had read it sooner! Wonderfully written - capturing this ensemble's talents and the true depth of the song!
Couldn't say it any better! Twenty years ago, when I first saw her, and heard her sing, I was hooked!! She is such a lovely woman; the epitome of femininity - no question about it.
This woman is an amazing Christian person with a beautiful heart and amazing voice. Her and her band are absolutely amazing. All the other women in nowadays so-called country music and gospel music need to sit in the audience and listen to this Angelic voice.
Alison of the heavens....your only sin is in HOLDING that fiddle for the entire song. Otherwise, I coasted through the skies on autopilot with my eyes closed. Simply beautiful!!!
What incredible song writing, this song was so full of tension. The notes and how she sang them kept me feeling like a dam was about to break. This would be a great song to use for launching into a more upbeat number.
You should hear Jackie Evancho--and I adore Alison Krauss&Union Station! In all sincerity, BobbyK Ms. Evancho will lead in disbelief--she's this tiny 10 year girl-now 13- has an opera voice among, and comparable to the greatest opera singers in the world! And she sings precious songs, opera and pop! Her "Let it Be, or "Bridge Over Troubled Water", will lead you breatless, as well as any song she sings! She is a true miracle of God! Sincerely, BobbyK
“Satan trembles when he sees the weakest saint upon his knees. But Satan laughs without restraints when saints go clobbering other saints.” - Ruth Graham
Heard this song during the closing credits of the movie "Get Low" starring Robert Duvall and an ALL STAR cast. Funny, songs like this 20 years ago would get me to tapping my toe to the beat and the lyrics would be sung and never really illicit much of a response. Now staring 61 down the barrel the movie and the lyrics mean a lot more to me. I'm going to go cry a little more. F@&king getting old is something.
Truly One of a kind and a rare breed here. This is LIVE and its a difficult piece - pulled off perfectly! Thanks for posting. Always loved the chemistry of this group of very special musicians.
Wow, What a deep deep song. The words cut right through, Burdens, We all have them. It's just how we deal with them, weather you let them get to you or not.. Me I choose Not, but that's doesn't mean it don't just smack me in the face and knock me over. I'd swim out to save you and not let you drowned. I'd fly with you, if I could. I'm never to far away, just out of reach sometimes.
When I was learning English this song was on my ears. I felt in love with it so fast… not because of the lyrics (that I did not understand at that time) but the good music. Anyway an American friend helped me to understand the subtle meaning. Now I am able to express my gratitude directly to her. This music makes what Ms Krauss is singing to us about a better world through music in order to become us into a better human being citizen. She has the skill to raise that goal for everyone. Thanks to your band for making such as great performance with such as subtle accuracy. God bless you.
Look folks - no effects, additives or special kit - just a bunch of truly talented people… Thank you, Lord.
Alison Krauss is the greatest and best singer in the world and she and Ricky Skaggs have the best blue grass/country/folk bands in the world.
If you planted hope today in any hopeless heart, if someone’s burden was lighter because you did your part, if you caused a laugh that chased a tear away, if tonight your name is mentioned when someone kneels to pray. Then your day was well spent.
This is what music should be about. Musicianship, melody, harmony, perfect interplay of the instrument, balance, no one trying to stand out only making music as it should be.
She is incredible... PITCH PERFECT VOICE...no wonder she has won MORE GRAMMY'S than any other singer... what a GOD GIVEN TALENT!
you can see that in the old videos when she wasn't famous yet. that's true talent. luckily she's so down to earth that she hasn't burned out like some others with equally great talent
Welcome played this at my daughters funeral last month. It was one of her favorite songs. She was a fan of Alison Krauss.
It is almost unfair to have so much incredible talent on stage together in this one group of musicians. They are the best of the best.
Allison , I can still see you and your pet chicken walking down the sidewalk on hill street. Your neighbor across the street. You have the voice of an angel. Leon
Nice of God to share an angel to let us know what the sound track in heaven is like.
+Mark Thompson Hey Mark i have been listening to Alison all night and I have been at a loss for words because I don't have enough time to say them all. You have summed it up for me. thanks , Love her! Great talent! Again thanks!
+Mark Thompson So true !!
I agree 100%
love this comment. very true
Exactly. If I believed in Heaven, I'd swear she was an angel.
an angel came to earth to sing for us
My dog of 13 years just died. This is bringing me a little comfort. Great song.
How can you not love this group. Allison has the voice of an Angle, Jerry Douglas has no equal, Dan and Ron are nothing less than amazing on guitar, mandolin, banjo and vocals.
Don’t forget Barry Bales on standup bass…
This video is 12 years old and the music sounds fresh and new! Amazing!
I don't much care for Blue Grass and I'm not religious BUT Alison is my vision of an angel. A mysterious beauty is hers.
Ain't she beautiful she is so beautiful and so talented God bless her
Excellent tune from one of my favorite movies: "Get Low". I would highly recommend this film.
Her voice is just incredible. This is phenomenal.
yes so crystal clear and deeply moving
pure silk yes, velvet and smooth, sublime
alison....it has often been said.....has a voice of an angel...yes....she does because she is an angel.....100 per cent pure love shines through her soul....
A sample of the Angel's music that awaits Christ's children!!
Talented Lady.. Never get tired of listening to her and her music.
She has the voice of a angel. God bless you Alison!
Thanks Alison... for puttin bluegrass back on the horizon in a serious and tasteful way!
And for what it's worth, I think David Letterman has been a great supporter of bluegrass and acoustic music in the past... Nice job, everyone :)

Her voice is a gift from the heavens above. I fall in love with her every time she sings. She's the female Barry White.
So pure and real!! This is timeless and soulful. She is what legendary sounds like.
I agree. Love her stuff and Union Station. ☺

Hello
She has the PERFECT voice in my opinion. I could listen to it all day! Sometimes I do :)
The most Beautiful voice I have ever heard.
She can do almost any style of music and make it hers. Just put on some headphones, close your eyes and listen to her voice and her band - magnificent.
Couldn't have said it better. I agree 100 percent.
Richard Smith
She is beautiful, talented, kind, and a woman of God. Praise be to Jesus!
Amazing. Beautiful. Pitch perfect with no autocorrect. No autotune, no vocoding, no thumping overly loud processing, Just talent. Stuff these days has been so overprocessed worse than cheap lunch meat. When did talent and musicianship go out of fashion? Compare/Contrast WAP. Get off my lawn!
Such a beautiful and emotional song..❤️
She has such an angelic voice
Angelic voice, as always, and she gets more beautiful every year.
sheltondk43 I can sing like her, which is creepy she looks like my mom
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28)
Amen Jesus is the way
Judi, He's given me that rest even when I wouldn't stop going. Hahaha. Maybe, that's Psalm 23 catching up to me??
Judi Harbin Thank you. My soul is weary and restless. There are times I wake up and only wish I didn't wake to another day. But I know it is because I have neglected God. After my mother died last year is when this started. Her death hurt me deep. But then I read this verse just now. It gives me hope.

Michelle Albarran you're amazing!!! Keep going. I'm trying so hard since my husband is leaving me. I NEED SOMETHING in my life. what I've been doing ain't working.....
She sings like a angel. Has only gotten better thru the many years I have listen to her. 🧚♀️💫
WOW! what a talented group, their work beautiful and timeless.
they are all masters of their craft...her voice is ethereal...
The very best show I've ever gone to was this group at Red Rocks , Colo.
All I know is the Angel Band has surely collected a lot of my favorite musicians this year-I'm not supposed to still be here-I guess I'm lucky or I've been blessed with another Miracle!
Let's also not forget to give credit to Aoife O'Donovan who wrote this amazing song. She too has a very beautiful voice. If you haven't heard of her before, check her out. Very talented singer/song writer!

Of course, I have really enjoyed Alison Krauss for years - don't think I forgot her!
My girlfriend and I watched Get Low last night. This song was at the end. Good movie, good song.
What a great Singer Alison Krauss is ,no matter when a person hears her with a lot of great Songs and Hymn's too.
I am trained in the jazz music field, but occasionally I listen to high quality country music.
This is definitely HIGH QUALITY and it reminds me of my carpet and upholstery cleaning days in summer rural territory.
+Keith in bluegrass it's called a fiddle! :)
Or Ballads. Why does it have to fit a category?
I heard Allison and company sing Going to Carolina in my mind. Absolutely stunned me for the good. James Taylor was there in the audience, everyone was blown away. Truely a blessed talent.
Alison is just as beautiful as ever. We saw her at the Chautauqua Institute over the weekend.
Love😂
Beautiful music. One of those things you stumble across on RUclips that makes you keep surfing.
I agree Jennifer. She has such and unmistakable voice.
How beautiful she is. Her beauty is everywhere, mostly, of course, through her voice. But her beauty is interconnected spiritually and physically.
Well said Mary Jane.
exactly. you hit the nail on the head ( excuse me this is not MY language...)
Susanna Bonke you said it perfectly
Allison sings like an angel.
The complex verses, dynamic choruses that touch all the deep notes back to the high one, it tittilates the senses.. they don't just repeat one catchy tune they create rythms and ride the waves through the spectrum of emotions, laying you down softly before blowing you gently back into the musical clouds of bliss like a feather so light of weight.. beauty
Eddie - you wrote the above 5 years ago - wish I had read it sooner! Wonderfully written - capturing this ensemble's talents and the true depth of the song!
I use to tell my son that she has a voice straight from Heaven. A blessing we all can enjoy. thanks,,,,,
Thank you Lord, for handling her Medal of Art Thank you President Trump.
There is none other then Alison Krauss that can sing a lovely as her!
Debra Goodson n
Aoife O’ Donovan sings this as well!
Thank you Alison, your music is a gift. I will accept the gift any day.
Not a bad note ever when Allison and Union Station perform, wonderful as usual.👍👍
Couldn't say it any better! Twenty years ago, when I first saw her, and heard her sing, I was hooked!! She is such a lovely woman; the epitome of femininity - no question about it.
Alison Krauss and Union Station is simply a band composed of the best musicians on their respective instruments in the world.
Yeah, I have to go with that as well. In their johnra they are the best
I fully concur! A league of their own....
Been. following AKUS since about 1994 and they just get better & better like fine wine!!!!!
i love this woman she's got a voice of angels
Alison krauss and Union station PURE CLASS
This woman is an amazing Christian person with a beautiful heart and amazing voice. Her and her band are absolutely amazing. All the other women in nowadays so-called country music and gospel music need to sit in the audience and listen to this Angelic voice.
Alison of the heavens....your only sin is in HOLDING that fiddle for the entire song. Otherwise, I coasted through the skies on autopilot with my eyes closed. Simply beautiful!!!
Beautiful Lady,voice,band & song...
GREAT ARTIST
Hello my lady how are you
Surely Alison Krauss is an angel of God!
I'm not religious at all, but I grew up to this womans music. To me, this music is relaxing and a part of of my childhood.
There is still some beautiful music left in this world instead of the trash in the garbage that we have shoved down our throats constantly
I agree!
The world is honored to have you Alison!
A terrific combo, Ms Krause & Mr Douglas
She's so beautiful and a voice to match. Union Station is one of the best bands ever.
one of the purest voices I have heard
Just love listening to this🥰🌷.
lay thy burden on my shoulders, for I shall offer shelter to all and rest to those who need it most
Selina Faircrest praise be to Jesus!
Just beautiful God bless them
Carola Wingert o
Hello Carola how are you
Alison has the most beautiful, angelic voice
Hello
She's so beautiful and so is her voice 😍
A beautiful rendition of Aoife's beautiful song. Awesome all the way around!
What incredible song writing, this song was so full of tension. The notes and how she sang them kept me feeling like a dam was about to break. This would be a great song to use for launching into a more upbeat number.
Alex Banks Songwriting credit goes to the incredible Aoife O'Donovan!
***** I was looking for the songwriting credit. I have just seen the Aoife version but I still prefer the Alison version. Great job from Aoife anyway.
@@monologtube Yes - Aiofe wrote the song -"I'm With Her" have a great version of this song (with Aiofe). Allison's version is also excellent.
You should hear Jackie Evancho--and I adore Alison Krauss&Union Station! In all sincerity, BobbyK Ms. Evancho will lead in disbelief--she's this tiny 10 year girl-now 13- has an opera voice among, and comparable to the greatest opera singers in the world!
