My wife of 47 years passed away 08/14/2023 and as a country drummer for 50+ years, this is the first song that came to mind to describe my devastation and sadness at her passing.
@user-fz7ng4nd1z So sorry, Ken. My wife of 51 years and I are both saying, "I hope I go first." We're desperately hoping Jesus comes for us before either of us has to suffer as you are. May He give you comfort as only He can.
This is exactly how I feel since my husband passed away. Her flawless execution of this song, with her exquisite voice had me in tears. No other artist can sing with her angelic sound.
I’ve made comments before on this particular song sung by Alison Krauss and Union Station and I keep coming back for more. The song is beautifully written and so sad, and it is sung by a lady with a voice beyond compare in this genre of music in my opinion. I think Alison’s voice is as close to perfect as one gets. Excellent performance.👍👍🇨🇦
My dad is so lonely after losing mom..they were grade school friends that stayed together all there lives...this song made me think of the love they had and the loneliness dad feels now.
@@Justanolemun stay strong and press forward a little each day ..take a minute to remember her then just do things you like to do even if it feels empty for you at first ..my dad started back to working on engines for those remote flying model planes..he had stuff all over the house but then he got so interested he became talkative again and I seen that big smile again..it is harder explain than how I know to express here but please find your thread that leads you away from the grief for even 1 min …then 2…then more…it is so hard even now he has his days but you are not just an old man…you have been so loved by a wonderful person and that’s hard to find a love like that..and I still look at my moms pictures and miss her so much me and dad has cried together and laughed together at memories of her it was a big breakthrough for us. Mom used to love the Sons of the Pioneers..she used to sing along with them and with a country accent..one she didn’t really have and it didn’t come naturally…lol it was very cute..I love that memory…
My dad went through the exact same thing after 23 yrs with my mom, high school friends, life long sole mates. They had there whole lives ahead after retirement mom was diagnosed with Lymphoma cancer 4th stage unexpectedly after beating the cancer..She died after her an I hung up the phone, last words saying I Love you, see you tomorrow my child, mommy loves you. An I got the call at midnight she passed..
@SidsCardShop thank you, time dose help an heal to some extent..I Tried binaural beats and lucid dreaming,. With some practice and belief, I get to see my mom any time I go to sleep..I didn't believe for a long time until it finally happened. It's like I'm a kid again and we're doing everything we did before. Honestly, it's so real especially since she's there when my son was growing up, like nothing ever changed..I definitely recommend to anyone missing a loved one to try. I can post links to sample if anyone would like. Xo
Funny, when my friend introduced me to Allison's music decades ago, he said something similar! The same friend introduced me to Norah Jones the same way, and he was correct on both counts!
Alison’s voice is brilliant in this song-lilting, hauntingly heart breaking; surreal. Her voice digs into deep into the heart. The harmony in the chorus is hair raising. Alison sings this song with fantastic passion and feeling. It breaks my heart into a million pieces. Brilliant
Just beautiful music, doesn't get any better than this, REAL country music, no flashing lights, thumping beat, no smoke and pyrotechnics, pure simple country music.
Alison is not only a wonderful artist but she is a lady. Notice how she dosn't feel the need to flaunt herself in anyway and still she attracts so many fans....its pure talent folks.
She sure is. I love her harmony in whiskey lullaby. Her and her band have excellent harmony with their voices. She is one awesome lady. She's so good on that fiddle 🎻. So smooth so sweet sounding.
Absolutely!! Her voice is pitch perfect. If you listen with headphones to this song her voice blends in amazingly with all the other instruments Just incredible!!
@@JoeInCT418 she's wonderful but no angel,I've been at the Ryman in the back on a Saturday night.But she's definitely a facetious soul,dry wit,and that's all I can say.But yea,she holds her composure in public very well.
Beautiful song performed in an inimitable way by Alison Krauss. This song is really written for her. She has the unique ability to convey a complete picture of the situation with her voice and through the movement in her voice she can portray every emotion and sensation. The sentence "I'm just a whisper of smoke" is a good example of this: you actually see a plume of smoke in the abandoned house. Truly the most beautiful voice on the planet.
We lost my father 7 years ago, and my mom still won't listen to this song. She can get through the days, but she just isn't the same, even after all this time. I miss her almost as much as I miss him. I hope you can find happiness again, and I'm terribly sorry for your loss.
Going thru my divorce was this song. Her voice tells all and the pain one would feel. She carried me during that time with all her music. Thank you Alison
When I first heard this song it immediately made me think of a long lost love and how desolate I felt when he disappeared from my life. Thirty years later he came back. I now listen to it with him, not with sadness but with forgiveness.
What they do with this song is awesome. The vocals are haunting and she makes it sound as if its a ghost moaning in a broken home. And the harmonies accent that perfectly. I keep finding myself listening to this over and over again. Nice job Alison and Union station.
My Marriage was bad in 03-04, i felt like a ghost in my house, but.... in January of “04”, we lost our home in a fire, there was just a shell of a house left, my Daughters found me sitting in the corner of this shell of house playing this song by Allison Kraus, very sad day !!!!!! I’m Blessed we all made it out Alive 🙏
Her voice is beautiful buttt you have to give her band credit, the back-up vocals making the sweetest harmony in the world is what makes it sooooo good !
I have heard Alison Krauss sing with many other musicians, but when she is with Union Station, there is a special magic that happens. Thank you for sharing that magic with us.
Not just their pitch-perfect intonation, but also those exquisite little turns, all perfectly in control and in perfect synch with each other. Bluegrass singing doesn't get any better than this.
I met her when she was 15 and I was blown away, and I instantly knew she would be a star. I saw and met her many times at bluegrass festivals and had a pretty long conversation with her after a show at a local college. She was always friendly and humble. I think she’s the most gifted singer on the planet and also a terrific musician.
at an antique store once I flicked a wine glass with a fingernail, and it rang, and rang, and the hair on the back of me neck stood up, and that's the experience I have listening to Allison sing.
I absolutely love her voice, I lost my brother two months ago and this song reminds me of his wife now going home to an empty house. She sings so effortlessly but it hits your soul so hard.
God blessed me by hiding this song from me on the interwebz since my mother passed in December of 2020. This song PERFECTLY describes my father since she passed until he chased her to Heaven this past June. He was shattered by Mom's death and it was all I could do to keep him positive in the last 18 months. I honestly think he was more worried about me than his own passing. When my bride had a major surgery and he saw how I handled it I think he decided he could go...and so...he did. Now he and mom are in Heaven but I see their ghosts in the house that we are living in and I wouldn't change that for the world. Love you guys. See you soon.
Her singing always looks so effortless.. pure and angelic. Clear to see why she's won so many Grammys! This voice is unique and unmistakable when you hear it... You know right away that it's her. Very unique and union station does an incredible job at harmonizing along with her! Perfection ❣️
The Beatles were recognized as head-shaking iconic before the word was known. I would argue this band, in a different genre of music, is also in that same echelon of musical brilliance that only comes along a few times in life. That is give me goosebumps music.
She is the most humble, self-deprecating artist I have ever heard. Plus, she's funny. And on top of it all, she has the most beautiful voice I have ever heard, and I've heard some of the best!
I love the way you spoke that as to visualize it perfectly I was for a moment standing in a warm spring rain, droplets on my cheeks breathing in deeply as the notes of a mandolin faded in the distance. Simply beautiful simply put.
Just amazing what comes out of her mouth when she starts to sing. And so interesting how she does nothing to perform this but to sing it and mean it. She's a real lesson in simplicity.
Just heard this on K95.5 Big Country Old Gospel Sunday Morning Music. LAST Morning show for this yr 2020. The HOLY GHOST was riding w/ me. This song is so FITTING for 2020. Life Gurantees=GOD IS ALIVE/GOD NEVER EVER ever ever LEAVES US ALONE! Pray, speak as it is so & LIVE LIFE! BOLDLY SPEAK LIFE! AMEN! P.S. If God is your Daddy then YOU have the SAME AUTHORITY as Big Ol Dad! LOVE YA'LL my Siblings!
I remember a fellow artist (might have been Lee Ann Womak) talking about her music and saying "If you could hear an angel in Heaven sing - they would sound like Allison Krauss." So very true - such a pure voice.
Some laments tug your heartstrings rather than generate tears. This performance, this group, this song, how in the world can it get better than this? the Radman
The Autotune machine is thinking "well damn, nothing for me fix here. Where's that Ariana Grande? SHE needs all the help I can provide". Ms. Krauss is vocal perfection!
I don't pick up the mail, I don't pick up the phone, I don't answer the door, I just soon be alone I don't keep this place up, I just keep the lights down, I don't live in these rooms, I just rattled around I'm just a ghost in this house, I'm just shadow upon these walls, As quietly as a mouse, I haunt these halls, I'm just a whisper of smoke, I'm all that's left of two hearts on fire, That once burned out of control, You took my body and soul, I'm just a ghost in this house I don't care if it rains, I don't care if it's clear, I don't mind stayin' near, There's another ghost here, He sits down in your chair, And he shines with your light, And he lays down his head, On your pillow at night I'm just a ghost in this house, I'm just a shadow upon these walls, I'm living proof of the damage heartbreak does, I'm just a whisper of smoke, I'm all that's left of two hearts on fire, That once burned out of control, You took my body and soul, I'm just a ghost in this house That once burned out of control, You took my body and soul, I'm just a ghost in this house
I am an 65 year old man who loves Country music, I am Irish so was brought up with and folk music but the discovery of Alison Krauss made my live complete I could listen to that beautiful honey voice 24/7
@Alison Krauss Wow, You're going to "Honor" me by giving me your information. Let me guess after you send me your information, you're going to ask me to do a favor for you? OK, I'll play.
I played the double live album that had this song on it over and over after my dad died in 2004. It allowed me to release so much mournfulness. Deep emotion sweeping over us can be directed into healing channels with music like this.
This SONG,,,you really HAVE to be THERE, in that hollow place, to truly FEEL and UNDERSTAND it. Anyone whose lost someone that they love, has LIVED this song.
Allison Krauss has the voice of an angel. That's just about the sweetest sounding, powerful, emotional and dynamic voice I have ever heard...along with my daughter, Cassidy Cronan, who most definitely has the voice of an angel-as well! Thank you, Allison, for such a great rendition!
I’m beginning to wonder just how many times this song can make me cry. The original version has absolutely no impact on me whatsoever. But this cover touches something very deep. Every part of this amazing ensemble is superlative in its own right. But talk about the whole being greater than the sum of its parts. No one compares to Union Station. My heart thanks you all.
Geez, two lines into this song tears streaming down my cheeks, sniffing, holding back full out crying. Love her introduction. If you’ve lost someone you love, and have a heart it’s going to break! Lost my brother and niece both murdered in Tucson in 2000. Feels like was yesterday, it’s 2020. She was 19, he was 55. Google: “The Story of the murder of Msgt Daniel Walker and Kara Walker.” 💔 Thank you for posting this poignant beauty.
@Realalisonmariakrauss Hello, I'm great,thank you. That sounds is such a gift to the ears and the heart. I've always thought it was a touching song . This is Allison ?
@Realalisonmariakrauss yes-,yes-,yes. I remember Robert plant saying "I spent all those years screaming!" I remember turning my TV on and there was you singing with Robert Plant. I thought, now that's something! Another surprise was hearing Tammy Wynette singing with KLF ,Moo Moo Land. Thank you for all the wonderful tunes , from old me in Missouri.
Alison's voice is so beautiful
I have loved AKUS since I saw them on Austin City Limits in the Mid-it's...
The best
Reminds me of a lost long.....
....long lost love.
Yes,She's so wonderful, I recently got motivated and am Singing her material as I pretty MUCH STAY HOME Due to Covid, LIFTS THE SPIRITS
Jesus lord i need this tonight around 130 making a covered dish for easter tomorrow the rest of my world is asleep may their dreams be peaceful 2024

I hope God comforts you. So sorry for your loss.
Beautiful just beautiful. Way to go y'all.
Sorry for your loss
What a wonderful 47 years I bet and so much joy you had together.
"I'm just a whisper of smoke.... I'm all that's left of two hearts on fire "
kills me everytime

Holy cow Sister, that song is downright SAD! Your rendition of it is fabulous!
My dad is so lonely after losing mom..they were grade school friends that stayed together all there lives...this song made me think of the love they had and the loneliness dad feels now.
I'm just an old man in a situation exactly like your dad's. My best wishes to him and you. I never heard this song before but already love it dearly.

@@marstruth1578 thanks for heart felt ..I lost my dad not long ago..about 2 months
One of the most pure voices ever. One fellow artist described her as follows: "If you could hear an Angel sing they would sound like Allison Krause."
A truly mesmerizing voice, I have been listening to her since the mid 90’s and I still can’t get enough of her voice.
She is good,I love her voice too,but she has limits,she doesn t leave her comfort zone.
@@giovannisocci8793 Most should not. It's the musical choice.
@@davidkrause3906 True,she is beautiful and talented...your cousin?
@@giovannisocci8793 Nope. Just a fan for many years.
She has to have one of the most beautiful voices I've ever heard. No question.
Lily Allen is pretty good also.
I once heard that Alison has a voice like Dolly's, only sweeter.

Una voce angelica e una dolcezza infinita
Alison's voice still give me chills, and I've been listening to her for over 30 years.
I've been enjoying those chills with you, the whole time!
I was blessed to be in the audience the night this was recorded at the Palace Theatre, Louisville, KY.
Perhaps the most beautiful woman's voice of all time
Time!!! Goosebumps
@AlisonKrauss-pu3kf absolutely 💯 ❤️

Just beautiful music, doesn't get any better than this, REAL country music, no flashing lights, thumping beat, no smoke and pyrotechnics, pure simple country music.
Sounds simple ,but some complex song writing ,seasoned vocalist & band. Yes, it's wonderful.
Pppp
The best female singer on the planet , with such ease she belts those notes and that crispness in her voice is just amazing !!!!! Allison rules !
Alison Krauss of course !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😊😊😊😊
I think we can all relate to this kind of sorrow. Beautiful song and what an amazing voice.
Alison is not only a wonderful artist but she is a lady. Notice how she dosn't feel the need to flaunt herself in anyway and still she attracts so many fans....its pure talent folks.
Well Said friend, and right on
She sure is. I love her harmony in whiskey lullaby. Her and her band have excellent harmony with their voices. She is one awesome lady. She's so good on that fiddle 🎻. So smooth so sweet sounding.
Amen to that. True southern class.
Yeah she steals your heart. She's so beautiful but gives it back with that one of a kind beautiful voice to listen to.
@@jeffbeckfreak54 Although she is not Southern by birth - born in Decatur IL we adopted her years ago.
Draws you in with her intro then sing s like an angel
Alison's ability to hold a note steady for so long with no vibrato takes my breath away....truly angelic
Absolutely!! Her voice is pitch perfect. If you listen with headphones to this song her voice blends in amazingly with all the other instruments Just incredible!!
She has to be an angel. No human can sing like that ...
Best review put into word's. I've have an issue with hootie doing all his songs like that! BECAUSE HE CAN'T SING. Well said
@@JoeInCT418 she's wonderful but no angel,I've been at the Ryman in the back on a Saturday night.But she's definitely a facetious soul,dry wit,and that's all I can say.But yea,she holds her composure in public very well.
Crazy right...
Allison has the most beautiful voice. Her voice is so pure.
Alison hits THAT note that puts me in heaven.
I don't know what note it is. I just know when she hits it something happens to my simpleton brain
Beautiful song performed in an inimitable way by Alison Krauss. This song is really written for her. She has the unique ability to convey a complete picture of the situation with her voice and through the movement in her voice she can portray every emotion and sensation. The sentence "I'm just a whisper of smoke" is a good example of this: you actually see a plume of smoke in the abandoned house.
Truly the most beautiful voice on the planet.
Just lost my wife after 43 years together, now this song sums up the way I feel.
Ross Abbinett: I am sorry for your loss. I know you are suffering.
We lost my father 7 years ago, and my mom still won't listen to this song. She can get through the days, but she just isn't the same, even after all this time. I miss her almost as much as I miss him. I hope you can find happiness again, and I'm terribly sorry for your loss.
Hope you are hanging in there. You can make it. I did.
Sending love....❤️
worrier ❤️
You know you have a heavenly "beautiful " voice when it starts before the music...by far my favorite female vocalist of all time
Going thru my divorce was this song. Her voice tells all and the pain one would feel. She carried me during that time with all her music. Thank you Alison
3:10 is where it transcends just being an amazing performance. The line “and he shines with your light” kills me every time 🖤🖤
I was ruder than Rudy the Cosby show when like a hoe in a cornfield
SPOT ON BRILLIANT. RAY TWELVE STRINGS U.K TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU
The whole song makes me feel that way cause I kind of live that atmosphere.
Alison is a national treasure and we have to protect this woman at all cost 😂
There are just no words to express the unendurable beauty of this song.
Gary Douglas
Nailed it, sir.
U just did
I'm a huge metal head. But can respect "music". The vocal harmonies in this song make my eyes water.
One of my favorites! And so funny….we musician/singers often love doing the saddest..it holds the most emotion. Love Alison and Union Station.
The voice of an Angel.
@Alison Krauss Oh no, that's not necessary at all. I don't want to invade your privacy.
When I first heard this song it immediately made me think of a long lost love and how desolate I felt when he disappeared from my life. Thirty years later he came back. I now listen to it with him, not with sadness but with forgiveness.
Hello beautiful lady
Love an hugs to you both!
Alison Krauss and Union Station is simply a band composed of the best musicians on their respective instruments in the world.
no one can compare
beautiful person
Thank you Alison!!!!@
Allison krauss voice is an actual musical instrument she has perfect pitch,I never heard anything like it!
What they do with this song is awesome. The vocals are haunting and she makes it sound as if its a ghost moaning in a broken home. And the harmonies accent that perfectly. I keep finding myself listening to this over and over again. Nice job Alison and Union station.
What blows me away is how freaking effortlessly she opens her mouth and produces the most beautiful sound in the entire world... flawless.
She might be a ghost - hard to believe a human being can sing this well.
When she hits that high note, I get chills every time.
Yes, me too. Quite unique.
me too, wow, what a chilling voice!
My Marriage was bad in 03-04, i felt like a ghost in my house, but.... in January of “04”, we lost our home in a fire, there was just a shell of a house left, my Daughters found me sitting in the corner of this shell of house playing this song by Allison Kraus, very sad day !!!!!! I’m Blessed we all made it out Alive 🙏
hallelujah
Her voice is beautiful buttt you have to give her band credit, the back-up vocals making the sweetest harmony in the world is what makes it sooooo good !
That is so true. So pitch perfect it sounds as an instrument.
I have heard Alison Krauss sing with many other musicians, but when she is with Union Station, there is a special magic that happens. Thank you for sharing that magic with us.
I agree. The band is amazing but the harmonies are incredible!
Not just their pitch-perfect intonation, but also those exquisite little turns, all perfectly in control and in perfect synch with each other. Bluegrass singing doesn't get any better than this.
She needs no backup her voice is Angelic
I met her when she was 15 and I was blown away, and I instantly knew she would be a star. I saw and met her many times at bluegrass festivals and had a pretty long conversation with her after a show at a local college. She was always friendly and humble. I think she’s the most gifted singer on the planet and also a terrific musician.
He wasn't too bad himself.
As himself
Alison is a beautiful lady with an angels voice. She can make any song heavenly. Can listen to her forever.
Beutiful music got me through some sad nights
Wonderful to hear someone actually SING...and not bellow. The beauty of the words and melody stays in tact.
@Alison Krauss Thank You.
My thoughts exactly, most singers just YELL a song instead of sing it.
Yes, when did that start anyway? People yelling instead of singing. I don't like it. But I do like Alison's singing.
She is truly an Amazing talent
at an antique store once I flicked a wine glass with a fingernail, and it rang, and rang, and the hair on the back of me neck stood up, and that's the experience I have listening to Allison sing.
Been Heart broken many times before but nothing like this,but God will see me through this love love love this song Thank you Alison and Vince♥️😢
If that song was the worst she's herd then she's taken to a right place very special.
I absolutely love her voice, I lost my brother two months ago and this song reminds me of his wife now going home to an empty house. She sings so effortlessly but it hits your soul so hard.
So sorry, hope his wife is going to be OK. This hit a nerve with me, just imagining her going into the empty house. So sorry.
i love this song we played it at my mums funeral in october she was only 57 i miss her so much , ty for posting it
Alison is how I imagine the angels in Heaven looking and sounding......perfect.
Such a beautiful song. Thank God for this beautiful music.
An angel sent to Earth to sing.
@Alison Krauss Certainly by all means

This is a song about loss...Achingly interpreted by Allison's incredible voice.
One of the most beautiful voices on earth🥰👍🏻
Her singing always looks so effortless.. pure and angelic.
Clear to see why she's won so many Grammys! This voice is unique and unmistakable when you hear it... You know right away that it's her. Very unique and union station does an incredible job at harmonizing along with her! Perfection ❣️
so true, JamieLee :)
The Beatles were recognized as head-shaking iconic before the word was known. I would argue this band, in a different genre of music, is also in that same echelon of musical brilliance that only comes along a few times in life. That is give me goosebumps music.
Alison, I am an old Virginian. I am currently living in Henrico. I think I pick the best country music to enjoy and you are on that list.
Thank you so much for your unwavering Love ❤️, where are you from?
The absolute Queen of country singing. Love this girl and her awesome voice . Just no one like her !!!
Thank God for my anchor and Jesus.
She is the most humble, self-deprecating artist I have ever heard. Plus, she's funny. And on top of it all, she has the most beautiful voice I have ever heard, and I've heard some of the best!
Plain clothes.... No sparkles or glitter.
Plain simple beauty, inside, outside and such a beautiful voice.
Best version I’ve ever heard.👍
so much talent in one place.... with no ego. Just a love for the craft.
Exactly.
Real talent speaks for itself. No attitude, booty shaking or cleavage necessary.
She's got a voice like an angel. One of the greatest singers I've ever heard.
I come on youtube looking for a great song by Alison Krauss, and man I found it...
Such a gorgeous voice, gave me chills. She uses her voice better than I've ever hear her in other songs of hers.
One of my very FAVORITES! Allison has the most FORELORN, BEAUTIFUL VOICES!
My 19 month will sit and watch the whole song. He loves it. Thanks for the post!
Alison is just pure perfection! Her and Union Station are perfection in music and there is just no one like them anywhere!
I can't stop crying
This Lady can Whisper so clear or ring so true and Strident in your ear ... and you feel...
Whenever you hear Alison Krauss, it is like breathing air after a spring rain!
Sasscat and song birds sing back to her.
+Stephen Taylor most under rated artist ever
+James Ward couldn't agree more
I love the way you spoke that as to visualize it perfectly I was for a moment standing in a warm spring rain, droplets on my cheeks breathing in deeply as the notes of a mandolin faded in the distance. Simply beautiful simply put.
Sasscat unless you're in Houston, TX... BUT I know exactly what you're saying. i agree.
Love you Allison !!! Your the best !!!!!
I’m currently going through a breakup and I never understood how heart wrenching this song is until now.
Mon Dieu quelle belle voix, quand elle parle c'est tout doux, merci Alison. ❤❤❤🎉🎉
Looks like angel .always
Just amazing what comes out of her mouth when she starts to sing. And so interesting how she does nothing to perform this but to sing it and mean it. She's a real lesson in simplicity.
Insane, over the top harmonies swept up on the wings of one beautifully written melody, sung by a songbird named Allison. Rare, one-of-a-kind talent.
Just heard this on K95.5 Big Country Old Gospel Sunday Morning Music. LAST Morning show for this yr 2020. The HOLY GHOST was riding w/ me. This song is so FITTING for 2020.

I remember a fellow artist (might have been Lee Ann Womak) talking about her music and saying "If you could hear an angel in Heaven sing - they would sound like Allison Krauss." So very true - such a pure voice.
Thank you so much for your unwavering Love ❤️, where are you from?
Alison will go and see other artists play. I think that’s what keeps her humble.
I love this song! It so beautiful when you are going through grief.
not a day goes by i dont think of my husband, gone 2 years now, yet i feel him in our house, guiding me and oh i wish I could see this ghost,
Some laments tug your heartstrings rather than generate tears. This performance, this group, this song, how in the world can it get better than this? the Radman
amen
@Alison Krauss Sorry, I have to pass- too dangerous. Thrilled, though. the Radman
I could listen to her sing all day... Best version!
The Autotune machine is thinking "well damn, nothing for me fix here. Where's that Ariana Grande? SHE needs all the help I can provide". Ms. Krauss is vocal perfection!
I don't pick up the mail,
I don't pick up the phone,
I don't answer the door,
I just soon be alone
I don't keep this place up,
I just keep the lights down,
I don't live in these rooms,
I just rattled around
I'm just a ghost in this house,
I'm just shadow upon these walls,
As quietly as a mouse,
I haunt these halls,
I'm just a whisper of smoke,
I'm all that's left of two hearts on fire,
That once burned out of control,
You took my body and soul,
I'm just a ghost in this house
I don't care if it rains,
I don't care if it's clear,
I don't mind stayin' near,
There's another ghost here,
He sits down in your chair,
And he shines with your light,
And he lays down his head,
On your pillow at night
I'm just a ghost in this house,
I'm just a shadow upon these walls,
I'm living proof of the damage heartbreak does,
I'm just a whisper of smoke,
I'm all that's left of two hearts on fire,
That once burned out of control,
You took my body and soul,
I'm just a ghost in this house
That once burned out of control,
You took my body and soul,
I'm just a ghost in this house
Perfectly, poignantly, heartbreaking

I am an 65 year old man who loves Country music, I am Irish so was brought up with and folk music but the discovery of Alison Krauss made my live complete I could listen to that beautiful honey voice 24/7
It's probably been said millions of times, but its worth repeating, she has the voice of an angel.
@Alison Krauss Wow, You're going to "Honor" me by giving me your information. Let me guess after you send me your information, you're going to ask me to do a favor for you?
OK, I'll play.
I played the double live album that had this song on it over and over after my dad died in 2004. It allowed me to release so much mournfulness. Deep emotion sweeping over us can be directed into healing channels with music like this.
You nailed it! August, 2023 5:00 pm
That joke in the beginning was perfectly executed haha
Just keeping it sad and pitiful, y'all - 'we can't have anyone leaving here feeling good, that's for sure!' (almost memorized the DVD)
She is goood.
This SONG,,,you really HAVE to be THERE, in that hollow place, to truly FEEL and UNDERSTAND it. Anyone whose lost someone that they love, has LIVED this song.
Allison Krauss has the voice of an angel. That's just about the sweetest sounding, powerful, emotional and dynamic voice I have ever heard...along with my daughter, Cassidy Cronan, who most definitely has the voice of an angel-as well! Thank you, Allison, for such a great rendition!
I can imagine her singing in front of the throne to the Father. Angelic voice here on earth.
I’m beginning to wonder just how many times this song can make me cry. The original version has absolutely no impact on me whatsoever. But this cover touches something very deep. Every part of this amazing ensemble is superlative in its own right. But talk about the whole being greater than the sum of its parts. No one compares to Union Station. My heart thanks you all.
Again. Voice of an angel
Geez, two lines into this song tears streaming down my cheeks, sniffing, holding back full out crying. Love her introduction. If you’ve lost someone you love, and have a heart it’s going to break!
Lost my brother and niece both murdered in Tucson in 2000. Feels like was yesterday, it’s 2020. She was 19, he was 55. Google: “The Story of the murder of Msgt Daniel Walker and Kara Walker.” 💔
Thank you for posting this poignant beauty.
That is beautiful.Those Harmony's just fell from Heaven.
@Realalisonmariakrauss Hello, I'm great,thank you. That sounds is such a gift to the ears and the heart. I've always thought it was a touching song .
This is Allison ?
@Realalisonmariakrauss yes-,yes-,yes. I remember Robert plant saying "I spent all those years screaming!" I remember turning my TV on and there was you singing with Robert Plant. I thought, now that's something! Another surprise was hearing Tammy Wynette singing with KLF ,Moo Moo Land.
Thank you for all the wonderful tunes , from old me in Missouri.
