Alison Krauss - Ghost In This House

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 เม.ย. 2008
- I love Alison's introduction, as it verbalizes what I have known all my life: songs producing melancholy can and should be enjoyed without stigma. I have sat with tears in my eyes listening to this song and many others, especially the saddest song of all (Vern Gosdin's "Chiseled In Stone") and rather than being depressed when it was over, I felt recommitted to embrace and cater to the ones I love while there is still opportunity - which is the final message of Vern's song.

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
"I'm just a whisper of smoke.... I'm all that's left of two hearts on fire "
kills me everytime
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
@@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…
😢 oh my heart breaks for your dad😔. Bless him Lord
💔
@@marstruth1578 thanks for heart felt ..I lost my dad not long ago..about 2 months
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.
Draws you in with her intro then sing s like an angel
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.
Alison's voice still give me chills, and I've been listening to her for over 30 years.
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 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😊😊😊😊
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...
Perhaps the most beautiful woman's voice of all time
Time!!! Goosebumps
@@AlisonKrauss-pu3kf absolutely 💯 ❤️
There are just no words to express the unendurable beauty of this song.
Gary Douglas
Nailed it, sir.
U just did
Allison has the most beautiful voice. Her voice is so pure.
I'm a huge metal head. But can respect "music". The vocal harmonies in this song make my eyes water.
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.
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.
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
Lyrics that are born from the soul that when you get there, you Know you R there.
Allison krauss voice is an actual musical instrument she has perfect pitch,I never heard anything like it!
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 ❤️
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!
She might be a ghost - hard to believe a human being can sing this well.
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!!!!@
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
When she hits that high note, I get chills every time.
Yes, me too. Quite unique.
me too, wow, what a chilling voice!
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
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
Alison is how I imagine the angels in Heaven looking and sounding......perfect.
You know you have a heavenly "beautiful " voice when it starts before the music...by far my favorite female vocalist of all time
なんて素晴らしい声アリソンさんの、虜になってしまいます
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.
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 is a national treasure and we have to protect this woman at all cost 😂
This is a song about loss...Achingly interpreted by Allison's incredible voice.
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
I was blessed to be in the audience the night this was recorded at the Palace Theatre, Louisville, KY.
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♥️😢
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.
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.
The voice of an Angel.
@Alison Krauss Oh no, that's not necessary at all. I don't want to invade your privacy.
What blows me away is how freaking effortlessly she opens her mouth and produces the most beautiful sound in the entire world... flawless.
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.
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.
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.
One of the most beautiful voices on earth🥰👍🏻
An angel sent to Earth to sing.
@Alison Krauss Certainly by all means
Love you Allison !!! Your the best !!!!!
The absolute Queen of country singing. Love this girl and her awesome voice . Just no one like her !!!
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.
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
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.
Such a gorgeous voice, gave me chills. She uses her voice better than I've ever hear her in other songs of hers.
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.
I can't stop crying
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,
Alison is a beautiful lady with an angels voice. She can make any song heavenly. Can listen to her forever.
One of my very FAVORITES! Allison has the most FORELORN, BEAUTIFUL VOICES!
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.
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.
Alison Krauss is simply the best!
I could listen to her sing all day... Best version!
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.
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
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 come on youtube looking for a great song by Alison Krauss, and man I found it...
Alison is just pure perfection! Her and Union Station are perfection in music and there is just no one like them anywhere!
There are many artists and many painters, but scarce few can paint a masterpiece as does AKUS !!!
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!
She truley has the voice of an angel. Please bring her back!!!!
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.
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.
Best voice of all time.
absolutely
Neil, you are so right. I have heard, and love, some truly wonderful women, but in my opinion Alison is the best that ever came along.
I have to agree. Once you have listened to her you are under the most overwhelming spell. She has the voice of an angel and it is God given.
@Alison Krauss Allison Allison. You got to let it go hun. I told you in highschool I wasn't interested. Now I blocked you on Twitter Facebook. Please do not let me have to block you on TH-cam. Time to move on with your life young lady. Lord knows I have
@@theunknown4570 that is not the real Alison krauss. It is a scammer.
I’m currently going through a breakup and I never understood how heart wrenching this song is until now.
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.
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
Bonnie Neihsial ❤️thank you

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!
My husband and I have absolutely loved Alison Krauss since the first time we heard her in the 70ths! We have purchased every CD that she has put out. We just enjoy her beautiful talent so much. Have really missed her lately. Wish she would come back full force again!!!
Alison was born in 1971? I'm sure you mean the late 80's but she is just magic!!!
@@liamconnolly9233 I started listening to her in '84 when she was "just" a fiddle prodigy, rarely singing lead. I can't even remember if the band she played with at Nature's Table had a name. She also did Brown Bag Lunches at Krannert Center (U of I) and sometimes I was the only one listening!
@Alison Krauss You bet. I have tried to remember what name your band used when playing at Nature's Table--before Union Station. Wasn't John Pennell the band leader?
She's amazing , beautiful and so, so awesome !!! That voice is phenomena........NO, ITS........HAUNTING ⚠️
I love her singing! Pure Raw Talent! It doesn't get any Better!!!
FLAWLESS. All that needs to be Said. She is the Definition of REAL Music.
AKUS is superb on every song but this one is special. She and Union Station embue layers of emotion in each performance...especially this one.
perfection
Ann Lanneau I
I can imagine her singing in front of the throne to the Father. Angelic voice here on earth.
It doesn't matter how many times I hear her sing this song i always cry 😭
Just adore Alison & Union Station. The talent here is just fantastic, they make every song very special. Alison's voice is superb, and she's not too rough on the fiddle, either !
Yep! Illinois State Fiddle Champion at the age of 12.
SidsCardShop
Thanks for the info - I didn't know that. Mind you, the rest of the band are unsurpassable too. Jerry is absolute magic, and the harmony is the best I've heard. Everything the band has done is stunning - they are always on my stereo !
rocksedge2000
You talk euphemisms, yet answer with "if I saw one" regarding fiddles. What are you like !!!
kenny maclean What we have here, rocksedge and Kenny, is a failure to communicate.That is my best prison warden from Cool Hand Luke. I know, I know. Ha.
Jay Motensen
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.
And now, 26 Grammys. Six more and she will own more Grammys than any other person.
I love her voice, it's amazing
I love everything about her music. She is an Angel in my eyes.
Alison is singing my life. Sad song, but beautiful
I'm all that's left of two hearts on fire. OOOhhhhh I feel it. It's so good to feel so bad. One of her best.
St White, you are right. I think sometimes feeling the pain of these exquisite songs is actually therapeutic. Just my take, but it works for me.
Her voice is just beautiful!!!!
I am new to Krauss..This is the saddest song Ive ever heard. Absolutely Beautiful.
Glad you liked it. If you are up for another sad song, my pick for saddest is Vern Gosdin (who was known in the country field as "The Voice") singing "Chiseled In Stone." It is different from this one in that the story utilizes the loss of one man to turn around the life of another. If you are not familiar with Vern, get a handkerchief or box of tissues before you listen. He had a unique method of phrasing and note bending that made him perfect for sad songs. FYI, back in his heyday, couples married for life, so a lot of popular country songs were about death - also including the deaths of parents, as family ties were very strong.

A friend sings this and I just found it sung so beautifully here. Amazing voice and great song.
Search out and listen to "Jacob's Dream", that's a sad tune.
@@SidsCardShop I ABSOLUTELY agree! Vern Goslin was INCREDIBLE storyteller!! 💖🌹😍🎶
Alison does another one with Brad Paisley called Whiskey Lullaby. She's a heartbreaker.
It is difficult to laugh when you are living this song. Her voice is so beautiful. But I am all that isleft of two hearts on fire.
One of the best female vocalists of this century! And very good looking also....;-)
Country music is not very appreciated here in the Netherlands anymore, but i am one of the biggest fans of that kind of music.
Have been, and always will be. I hope someday it will be appreciated here again, like it should be...
She is awesome!!
you sing like a angel it's really great Akison
purest voice ever
+James Ward amen
Perfection. Really nothing else you can say as words do not describe her voice or beauty.
One of my favorites from Alison Krauss ...
It is a "sad, pitiful, little song," but these are real artists and they, simply put, make it GREAT!!
