Sibling harmonies are one thing. But to write a song that bittersweet and beautiful, and perform it for one of that song's inspirations and characters, at an event where she is being recognized for her life's work, a part of the narrative of the very song your playing? Holy friggin' wow! Not quite sure how they pulled off. Amazing. Talk about rising to an occasion.
@AlanHope2013
@AlanHope2013 4 жыл бұрын
Not only do they do all that, and mention her by name, they also throw in a very Emmylou trope which you can hear on the last line of the refrain, where the voice seems to falter and fade. It's also there in the verse, too. Emmylou does that very often, it's almost a signature sound of hers. So they sing a song to her, about her, like her, in her honour.

For me, their warm, close harmony brings memories of another pair of sisters who also sang warm and close harmony in the late 1950s with a similar bright innocence: "Patience & Prudence" kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jZqUpMmj37C0kpc.html

4:15 😭❤️ Just think, Emmylou also knew the other three legends they are singing about in this song. And they are all passed away now. And Emmylou knew them all very well. As well as being very humbled and touched by this song, it may also be bitter sweet for her hearing it and she probably can’t help thinking about the three friends she lost. Especially Gram Parsons, her former duet partner and very dear friend who died tragically of a drug overdose at a very young age. And all their times past. Incredible times. What a tribute these girls have given to her, to the other three legends in the song, and to the world. What a gift. Beautiful. ❤️

Almost wish for her sake it wasn't because she has really suffered. They seemed to have an intense musical bond that continues today. She includes music by him in every concert.
