#MarkKnopfler - Hudba
This is a song that crushes you to the soul, yet you can't stop listening to it. Over and over.
This woman is an incredible incredible American treasure.
Thanks to YT I can borrow her in the Uk whenever I want! Life's good.
absolutely
Emmylou Harris is a legend herself!
absolutely I prefer her to Mark Knopfler@@katherinehunter9526
It says it all that Mark is sitting in the background without any of the lights on him. Such a brilliant and humble musician. Superstar? Yes. But Not really. Master craftsman. Master of the craft of music. Thats him.
Torchbearer. Just as Mark went to Chet Atkins and others for guidance, now he carries the torch they passed to him.
He's a monster musician, a master craftsman for sure.

I remember back in the 80’s I went to see Clapton…and who was playing ‘rhythym’ guitar? Yup…Mark Knopfler…
A gentle man. A giant of a musician.
“Could have been the whiskey
Could have been the pills.”
Truer words have never been sung.
Egal wie alt Emmylou Harris ist, sie singt immer noch zauberhaft.
"Try hard to love him, but it never did take, just another way for the heart to break , so she learned to bend"....one of the few that gives me chills.
"One thing they don't tell you about the blues when you got 'em:
You keep on falllng 'cos there ain't no bottom"
Sorry
Yeah, that's my favorite line from this song.@@abirdthatflew
I'm never gonna dye my hair. Going straight Emmylou!
These words cut deep.
She loved her brother.
Thank you 🙏🏽 for your Being, beloved Emmylou ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Willie Nelson said there's two kinds of men: those who are in love with Emmy Lou and those that haven't met her yet.
😂😂😂😂😂👍
One of the most heartbreaking songs of all time. It really hits hard.
Emmylou Harris is a national treasure.
Gudomlig vacker sångröst fantastisk musik. From Sweden ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Emmylou just keeps getting more and more beautiful and her music is just sublime. I love her.
yes. same with Mark. these people age like wine.
Sure is purrrrdy.
She is indeed beautiful. And I love her voice. It's really good and distinctive.
This is one of the saddest songs I've ever listened to.
She is superb with dire straits what a nice lady
Absolutely amazing!!
Emmy is so accomplished in this song that she can carry this song as a solo effort. She needs no one to accompany her to tell her story. This version is outstanding.
That´s the way a heart cries.
She never has been so beautiful
I can't imagine anyone not enjoying this music. It's purely beautiful.
The American treasure, performs with one of English best guitar 🎸 players ever.
This song is just so beautiful.
English? Knopfler is one of the best guitarist EVER, period!
My mother was a red dirt girl, from the back o Bourke. Married a railway man from Albury or some such. The railways have figured large in my life, even when asleep.. a magic that underlines all our realities ‐ 24/7, night and day
You can hear generations of wisdom in her amazing voice.
I get the same feeling listening to Dylan.
Old Dylan, not electric Dylan
To all you "Country Music Artists", with your twangin' and wangin': you can't hold a candle to this music.
I'm 51 years old and this is my first time listening to Emmylou Harris....Talk about regret... All those wasted years. She is mesmerizing. Thank god I'm a huge fan of Mark Knopfler, I may have never listened to her.
Same...one damn song and BOOM.
There’s plenty of EmmyLou on CZcams
One of my favorite Emmy Lou Harris recordings. Dan Lanois is a master. Thank you ELH for your beautiful voice and storytelling.
@Radbod Egal You should add its only your opinion.
One of the zillion things we have to thank Danny for is sitting Emmy Lou down and saying: "Baby, your songs, your way". Fuckin' genius.
Daniel Lanois produced the album where she sang "Here I Am". Feels like he pushed her to sing a little out of character, and they hit a home run.
She's always had a beautiful voice but somehow over time it seems that it has matured into something beyond perfection. Bowls me over every time. Soul, spirit, love and a lifetime of living spills out.
So right, Christopher.
Perfect..,thank you all
Please get home safe....everywhere . .
So sad about Ukraine.....wow.....
Thank you to Brad Paisley for taking that title and responsibilities to help them.....to all a goodnight
I am from that part of the world, and I have seen the world, and that damn Red Dirt (clay) is as much a part of me as anything else. When I get to missing my people back in Alabama, I can count on this song to take me back there to walking barefoot down an old red dirt road with my brothers and friends. This song really gets the desperation, the fear of being left in a small backward world, but a kind of lingering appreciation for from where one comes . Much love to all!
I knew guys who joined the military just to get out of towns such as that. Some went ti vietnam and some never came back
Well said.
Going back to Mobile right now after 2 months in Netherlands, and yeah, missing hometown
A beautiful comment, thanks
Emmy Lou wrote a true modern day classic country masterpiece with this one. One of the finest songs I’ve heard
Emmy Lou‘s voice gives me chills all over🎶🎶👍😘
God I love this song. Invokes a cascade of emotions, memories, and lives lost that somehow are still with us. Thank you Emmylou for a lifetime of joy and tears and thankfulness.
For me this is the most heartbreaking song. Red dirt is my family's existence. God, what pain the government inflicts on the poor of America.
It’s horrible honey, you’re not alone, always remember that ❤
Exactly. If you can't hear the pain in this song, you are not my people.
Back a couple generations on both sides of the family ... it's in the blood. 😢
My Daddy would say some time,s ...The Rich get Richer and the poor stay poor,that...just the way it is...unless you sell your soul...it,s a Way of Life for so many poor boys and girls❤️always the hardest on the kids🌹
The secret is to get out of those red dirt states. Go the pill and you don't always need a man. You can do a Euro tour like Jane Austen suggested . If you don't know what it means look it up.
This is one of the best songs ever written; cannot listen to it without misting up.
... If this doesn't get to ya , you just ain't Human..... A sad , sweet , perfect story telling song.
Agree
Captures essence of unfulfilled dreams and aspirations
Perfection 😊
I listen to this song when I want to pray for all the Lillians in the world. I ask God to make Himself visible to them somehow, some way. The melody, the lyrics, and Emmylou's performance make Lillian so real to me.
Same, and I've heard it dozens of times.
This might be one of the best songs ever performed....
These 2 musicians complement each other like no other, just an awesome song, I can just leave it on repeat n never get tired of it, it’s that good.
Like no other, other than Emmylou and Fayssouix Starling of course.
I saw them on the Roadrunning tour, it was amazing.
PURE GOLD
I have listened to this perfect woman for to many years to count…. A will continue sweet lady, God bless.
She has taken my breath away, and put tears in my eyes for decades. Love her.
It`s not only one!
Emmylou is an American treasure...NZ 🇳🇿
She still looks BEAUTIFUL!💜💛🎃👻
Same here. Chill bumps....
@@sharethebest1 have you heard of First Aid Kit? The 2 Swedish sisters??😂👻🎃
Kids, this is music .......
Agreed!!! This is coming from a 18 year old
I adore Emmylou 's voice !!!
Thank you Mark Knopler and Emmylou Harris. Beautiful 🎶
My favorite all time, 50 years, female vocalist. Her albums brought me such joy and many tears. I love you Emmylou Harris.
So sad to get that messiage.... Yes I love her too....From Norway.....
What the F did USA do in Nam????????.....No good!!!!!! Thats for sure!!!!!!!
Beautiful song, beautifully played❤️
I fell in love with her immediately❤
Willie Nelson said there’s two types of men those who love Emmylou Harris and those who haven’t met her yet
A heartache, captured by Emmylou and the musicians. A heartache.
From Emmylou Harris herself - the background to this song on her website: "I am very, very inspired by the sound of words, and the names of places are so melodic and beautiful," she said. "I was passing through Meridian on my way down to record in New Orleans and that's what started it."
"But what really took it over the edge for me was on a night off in New Orleans we went to see Boys Don't Cry," Emmylou continued. "It unnerved me, not only because of the violence and homophobia, but also because of the underlying theme of how trapped those young people were. We all come into this world with so much potential and so many dreams. Who knows why some people escape and other people don't? The key idea is in the lyric, 'There won't be any mentions on The News of the World.'"
Emmylou told the story of the song to American Songwriter magazine: "I had driven to New Orleans with my dog Bonaparte and I passed the sign for Meridian, and I started making rhymes in my head. So I had this rhyme scheme but I didn't know what it was about. You get crushes on words and then the rhymes come. Anyways, right after I got there, I went to see the movie Boys Don't Cry. This story about the lost lives of these young people with nowhere to go and it turns into such negative things …"
"I've had this incredibly blessed life, but I created this character who'd had all of these hopes … and I just made this story up inspired by my remembrances of the south. I also imposed the lives of these kids from Boys Don't Cry. Who knows where these songs come from? It's such a mystery to me. Sometimes, I think, 'God, I really wrote that?'"
A stunning, sad song, about everyday life in America.
How's Exene Cervenka?
I live near Meridian
Can you be very very inspired? Or isn’t inspired enough? Case of tortology?
Your songs R great Wat feling and pipe .thank you Emilie grerings from Lars,, sweden
@@freetickeys last I heard about a year ago she is doing fine living in southern ca. But what does Exene have to do w this?
I once heard Emmylou talk about this song as it relates to her. She explains...I was not a red dirt girl myself. This song brought up memories of the south ( Alabama), where she was born. But she came from a military family, her father was a Major in the Marine Corps., and her parents moved a lot. She was a small child when they moved and lived in NC, VA and Md. As she states, she got the words in her mind while driving by Meridian on her way to New Orleans. She proved yo be a great song writer.
Elmmylou s voice melts the snow
This great lady has been singing from the bottom of his heart ... a stunning singer
I listen to her since decades when i get down and weary and feel something missing with me... .. I get heart warming and comfort
For all the real life Lillian's out there, may you find comfort and courage to see a way forward with the dawning of each new day.
Just her voice and guitar picking sounuds like angel singing. But Mark and guys with their numerous instruments gave additional magic to this stunning tune. That I love so much.
The whole Knopfler & Harris project is such a God given thing. I've heard the album, saw two of them performing together on YT what can be seen.
My only regret is that was not able to see them live. THAT would be ultimate magic. Cause it can be felt here...on this video. And on Shangri La...and others. The reaction of the audience....All of it. So, so beautiul.
Dear Mrs Harris and dear Mr Knopfler...thank you so much for the beuty you've created. You've heared it surely million times...but here's a million and one - thank you for the joy you give to my life.
This Emmylou's "Aaaa...." in the very end of the song totaly breaks my heart...kills me. The woman is so ...brilliant author and singer.
Wow! Emmylou Harris is a national treasure. This song is perfection.
You can't help but love Emmylou
She is the best.❤❤
As Willie Nelson once said there are 2 types of men in this world those how love Emmylou and those that have never meet her ❤
Sie hat eine Engelsstimme. Ich habe sie 1979 zum erstenmal gesehen und seither ein Riesen Fan von dieser Schönheit! ❤❤️🇨🇭
I never even lived this ( because you're supposed to, somehow in some kind of way), but it still brings tears to my eyes.
A sad song sung with the voice of an angel....
👏👏👍👍❤️❤️🇨🇭🇨🇭
A very beautiful sound that is pleasent to listen to suitable to listen to when relaxing on the beach or with friends before going to sleep
We are in the presence of beautiful music and deep truth here. Thank you Emmylou for who you are, and what you have sung.
Is there a better voice out there than Emmy’s?
This song stops time ….
Stunning words … tears of joy
I've loved both of these artists all of my life. It is wonderful to hear them TOGETHER! 😊
Emmylou Harris is a Beautiful musician.
How many "red dirt girls" tragically before, now, and still to come?!
Brings tears of Joy each and every time I hear her. So utterly beautiful words just don't do her justice. Long may you live Emmylou...
BEAUTIFUL IN EVERYWAY , EMMYLOU SINGING AND MUSIC WILL LIVE ON UNTIL THE END OF TIME
Just beautiful to keep it simple. Made me cry.
Met Emmylou from 8 years ago.
I will never forget it.
She was so friendly.. had time to talk. I could hardly belive. She is a great legend. Her music will never die. Proud to have met Emmylou Harris.
hun er så sød og kær og en dejlig sang også.
Love red dirt girls...Emmylou is a jewel in the crown of music
Man i love Emmy... and i love Mark....
Emmy's writing and storytelling is like a "female version" of Mark's.... True poets... ;)
Her voice is as powerful as ever...Lord I love her voice.....
Mark Knopfler & Emmylou Harris cosa puoi sentire di meglio, dopo averli ascoltati puoi anche morire
Mark and Emmylou are the kind of people who know through their art, reach out to people, God bless them
So mestldstimerghry
Her voice has only gotten more beautiful over the decades.
i love her story songs
Emmylou We loved you in the 70s and still do, our youngest daughter is named after you xxxx
Perfect.
Stars Fell on Alabama
I've listened to Emmylou for many, many years and she can still bring tears to my eyes.
My angel and Mark can't say enough.
This is a beautiful, chilling song. Her voice pulls me in. I felt every emotion.
Such a beautiful sad song wonderfully sung by Emmylou. Always moves me to tears. Beautiful accompaniment too from Mark's band.
sincerely i love you . you are the best than anyone
Love, love, love Knopfler and Emmylou together.
Was für eine schöne Stimme und Mark gibt Emmylou alle Ehre 👌
Well I have been playing folk/bluegrass all my life and at 70 they are one of my favorites any way very nice job young people as usual thank you so much :)
As a 19 year old, I got to see her several times before she was "discovered", playing at the Childe Harold in D.C., near Dupont Circle, in the very early '70s. There were about 30 people in that little club,
and, of course, all of us guys had a crush on her. My buddy lived near her parents out in Howard County. Still go see her when she is on tour.
She's gone a long ways from that little club, as have all of us.
The years pile up quick, don't they?
It really floors me sometimes, when I think of an event like you mention, that I remember so clearly that it seems like yesterday, then start adding up how many years it was since it happened.
...then of course I see a video like this one, and the time is obvious, and written on people's faces.
Getting old sucks, I don't care what anybody says.
Got way too drunk at Childe Harold many years ago, but it closed for good more than a decade ago. It lived from 1967 to 2007, not bad for a restaurant, most close in fewer than five years.
memories memories! I was a regular at Childe Harold - loved that place - lived up on U street and used to hang at CH and Stetsons...long gone days, but wonderful to hear Emmy Lou here - fan of hers for decades! (so many!)
I saw her at the Child Herald in 1971...when she was unknown. Sitting at a table with a friend, I heard her singing folk music..it was a Buffy Saint Marie song. She sounded like Joan Baez and with her long black hair..so beautiful. I asked someone what's her name and found out and remembered. A few years later I heard her sing on an album with Gram Parsons and I said...dammit...its her. I went out and bought the album "Grevious Angel". Now I have most of her albums and have been in love with her since 1971. I saw her once more after that and hope to see her again so I can tell her my story. She is awsome.
@@guarddog318 I agree. Ive not found any benefit in old age (im 68) Sure wasn't prepared for this
Saw EmmyLou this past week here...she still has it! Red Dirt Girl fifth in playlist...memories from my trucking days. Beautiful! Thank you EmmyLou.
The honest intimacy of Emmylou's songs is so expressive of the human condition, the human emotion, and the human heart. She saw this in many of Gram's songs and became closer to her audience even as the "country radio moguls" dismissed her. She is so genuine in her writing that you feel like a close friend whom she just shared with a most personal secret or feeling. In this day of division...isn't it nice to find someone you can share this life with? (And Emmylou Harris is always there for you...singing her song "just for you.")
I had never heard this until I got into ‘First Aid Kit’ and You tube put the song up, their cover is amazing! Beautiful song. Whilst in the states when married to a Missouri gal i realised the power of country songs, they all tell a story! Emmylou is the Queen of country! Always brings a tear to my eye..................
yep
There are two kinds of men in the world: those who are in love with Emmylou Harris, and those that haven't met her yet
Willie nelson
Thank you Emmy Lou, brought tears to my eyes! fitz
She's still amazing. I love the compassion in this song.
Wow.this is the most I've replayed in years please dontsplt. awesome .. sound together is just bliss ..
Dreams trampled in the red dirt, heartbreakingly beautiful song, Emmylou at her finest…..
Thank you. Good morning to all. Thank you Emmy Lou
Although EmmyLou wrote very few songs, this song is one of the finest anywhere.
This song made me cry tonight. Emmylou has been my "go to" singer ever since I was introduced to her in the early seventies. I have seen her perform three times, and I treasure those memories. Now, I am so thankful for CZcams. It is almost like being there!
I get tears every time, but I keep coming back
What a song
The rendition is delightfully haunting.... listen to it again and again and yet again.
Absolutely beautiful and heartbreaking.
Heart breaking lyrics…angelic voice.🥰
A beautiful rendition!
Heartbreakingly sad and beautiful at the same time… this song is hauntingly addictive for me🙏❤️
That's what we do!!!!!!
I saw their concert in Barcelona. I went because I love Mark Knopfler's music. But when Emmylou started singing I realized who the legend is. In live she is different, you feel different and you stay hooked on the song until she finishes. Does anyone else agree with me?
Welcome to the reality of Emmy Lou. Check out some of her other work. She has been so great for many years. Check out "No Regrets" " Till I can gain control again" "Pancho and lefty" "If you were a bluebird" and on and on. Just a few of my favorites
She speaks to my soul.
