TALKIN ABOUT HITTING IT OUTA THE PARK! Tell me there are not thousands relating to this ! The words, the pacing, and the pathos is next dimension! Love her voice and her exquisite songwriting!!!!!
It's a matter of how one acclimatizes to what one has learned to define music and singing. Iris Dement has an almost unique style of singing and that fact results in her lying outside the typical set of expectations.
If you're ever in the mood to ponder the meaning(s) of life, make a pot of coffee and listen to a random mix of Iris DeMent. A lovely musical voice that enunciates every word born of the human spirit with a main street America grasp of life.
She'd got such a beautiful voice, every song ive heard her sing either makes me want to cry because it fills me with emotion or gives me goosebumps! ❤❤❤
The first song I heard Iris sing on NPR was Our Town. It was in the nineties when my town Jewtown Chicago was being torn down for redevelopment. I cried. It hit me hard.
Iris got my undivided attention when I heard " Wasteland". Anyone who has the balls to say it like it is deserves every accolade coming to them. In this modern world of ME to see an artist point out, not just the faults of the US but world wide it's been a long time coming. So Iris thanks from all people with a semblance of care for our fellow man..❤️🔥🇮🇪
I saw Iris at the Birchmere in Alexandria, VA about 2001. She was dressed in a housecoat and fuzzy slippers. I felt like i was sitting in her living room. No one has a voice, and a heart, like Iris.
it's amazing how one beautiful voice can express what millions and millions experience on a daily basis- and in doing so- bring relief in the understanding of the human condition better - thank you Iris
If Iris doesn't touch your heart....very very deeply....then you haven't got one. I luv this woman. Now...Then....Forever. thank you Iris ....just for bein' the angel that you are.
Makes me feel we are never alone in our thoughts. Iris justs sings them out loud. In the feelings from our souls. Depression lives in all of us now and then.
I first heard Iris play a mountain women singing an old mountain song "Pretty Saro" in the movie Songcatcher...but I didn't know who she was until someone in the comments of the movie mentioned her name. So I went looking for her. Yes, she has that mournful mountain sound. For the movie, she really stressed strongly that style of singing. Thank you Iris. I like Emmylou Harris, too. She sang "Barbara Allen" while the credits ran at movie's end.
Attended one of her concerts in a local venue. Great time! Iris is a much better singer than some give her credit. Yes, she has that country nasal sound, but listen closely and you will hear an excellent singing voice. I've been a fan for a decade or more now.
Beside myself... I've introduced this voice I've recently discovered to other members of my family and friends and they laughed or likened the experience to nails on a chalk board. To me she sounds like an angel and evokes emotions I think are common in most all of us. I'm pretty sure I'll just disown the family and disavow the friends........
brian mcmillan-I fell down a rabbit hole following John Prine and bumped into Iris DeMent. After listening to her and John I decided to check out her stuff. The first song found me in the same category as your soon-to-be disowned family & friends. Then her videos kept popping up in my feed...and I gave her another try. Now here I am listening to this lovely lament for the third time. I think I’ve become a fan.
Don't be too hard on the people who don't like Iris. I love Iris. She touches my soul. But I too have my guilty displeasures. Like Willie Nelson, Patsy Cline etc. Etc. . For some reason I don't connect with their music. It's definitely me not them. C"est La Vie.
Just thinking about our relationship with our musical influences and how we can grow and develop as we get older. I love Iris Dement, as I love the songs of John Prine. Maybe it's that at the end of the day beauty is in the eye of the beholder ❤️
WOW Very soulful, well written and WHAT A VOICE! VERY touching! Please DONT stop putting out these GREAT songs! This is just FANTASTIC! I'm in AWE You are a Treasure!!
I can't explain what she does to a song, unique, would be a understatement, " I had a garden, ,but the flowers died,, easy is gett'in harder,,,,,,, everyday" dam I like that....and for a lot of people, she's got it right,,, harder going, an dead flowers galore.
i was comin on in kentucxky as a singer songwriter i saw her with john prine shes a great girl but a hellon wild but sweet iris is tough i worte with laura nyro before she passed they were like twins

I don't understand why anyone would dislike anything she sings. She has the voice of an angel.
Why worry?

@@lazurm What?
@@superorangeish Bad voice conversion. I edited my statement, sorry.
@@lazurm I think we both like her sound and style🎶
One of the greatest songs ever written by one of the greatest singer songwriters of all time! The brilliant and beautiful Miss Iris Dement.
" Our Town " 😘 sends chills down my spine❤
Too.. Poignant
Simply beautiful, Iris has such soul in her voice, you know she's lived , and means, every word.

Wunderbare Iris!
I stop by here periodically to cry my heart out, Hi everyone.
Me too buddy. Me too
Howdy
Me tpp
I meant me too
Much love, Peter.

I agree. Wasteland made me clap out loud for the honesty of it.. Iris you are loved believe me...
Her voice came out of the chatter and seized my heart. She carries me away.
"Take nothing with me, not even my name." Pure genius!
At this point in my life I DEPEND on Iris and John to get me through the day. The 2 best song writers we have. Just so lovely!
Iris' husband Greg Brown is an amazing songwriter....rigjt up there with Iris and John...
@Gus VanHorn no that was Pat Donahue but Greg was pretty regular on PHC.....he and Garrison were buddies...
That’s one of my favourite 👏👏👏🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
This woman sings so beautiful .she tells story's unknowingly of people's real life she can hit ya in the heart strings . I love her .
This song is devastating...and beautiful.
A National treasure for sure.
What heavenly music.
if i had one wish, it would be to see this angel preform in person and give her one big hug. thank you Iris for your inspirational music.

infamous angel
Absolutely......i love her voice and her songs.
She gets me every time. Big fat tears and my throat closin up! I love her soul so much!
@@JoyEllenful Perfect song for these quarantine times!
Iris & Nanci. They both blow my mind. Thanks.
Wunderbare Sängerin, wunderbare Frau!
I adore this woman who's songs have the capacity to make me cry my eyes out. So poignant!
can't explain it, but the 7 people who voted this down make this song even more beautiful...easy really is getting harder every day
i've had the good fortune to see iris dement perform in person. hauntingly beautiful.
+BurningMan Mike I hope I will get that opportunity - she is awesome
In Bloomington , Indiana, she asked for the spotlight to be turned down. And sang herself into us.
Best voice in all North America and she is pretty too. Love you Iris.
This song hits the nail right on the head. Sang from the heart. If your life is easy....your not living....just breathing.
Makes me feel we are never alone in our thoughts. Iris justs sings them out loud. In the feelings from our souls. Depression lives in all of us now and then.
I fell in love with this woman's music about 20 years ago. I absolutely love her voice. Gerry Farry
I live in Idaho covid19 pandemic has hit but not as bad as most places so nice to hear the beautiful voice mention our great state love you Iris
Such a beautiful voice, makes me go back to the 60's when I was a young boy wanting nothing more than being my own man.
I first heard Iris play a mountain women singing an old mountain song "Pretty Saro" in the movie Songcatcher...but I didn't know who she was until someone in the comments of the movie mentioned her name. So I went looking for her.

For the movie, she really stressed strongly that style of singing.
Thank you Iris.
I like Emmylou Harris, too.
She sang "Barbara Allen"
while the credits ran at movie's end.
This is a song a lot of people would like to sing. But it's better just to hear Iris sing it.
Thank goodness for u tube.
Attended one of her concerts in a local venue. Great time! Iris is a much better singer than some give her credit. Yes, she has that country nasal sound, but listen closely and you will hear an excellent singing voice. I've been a fan for a decade or more now.
Many of us love that "country nasal sound", and use it ourselves.
Very ,Profound. Brilliant.!!!!
Oh Iris, your voice breaks my heart every time, a spiritual being experiencing a human existence.
Pure Americana...priceless.
Beside myself... I've introduced this voice I've recently discovered to other members of my family and friends and they laughed or likened the experience to nails on a chalk board.
To me she sounds like an angel and evokes emotions I think are common in most all of us.
I'm pretty sure I'll just disown the family and disavow the friends........
Some folks just don't get it.
How can that be?
I don't understand how or why that can be
But it sho' nuff true
brian mcmillan You are making the right call. 👍 lol 😂♥️
brian mcmillan-I fell down a rabbit hole following John Prine and bumped into Iris DeMent. After listening to her and John I decided to check out her stuff.

Same story here. I am a huge Nancy Griffith and Gilian Welch fan. All 3 amazing artists, but Iris is so soulful.
@@Christycat35 You think...I think you know...
This is a powerful song. What a voice...
Can't get better than this
I love you, Iris. And it's getting easier every day.
Don't be too hard on the people who don't like Iris. I love Iris. She touches my soul. But I too have my guilty displeasures. Like Willie Nelson, Patsy Cline etc. Etc. . For some reason I don't connect with their music. It's definitely me not them. C"est La Vie.
GOD THIS WOMAN OPENED MY COLD HEART AND WARMED IT WHAT A GIFT TOUCHED MY THE HIGHER POWER
Just thinking about our relationship with our musical influences and how we can grow and develop as we get older. I love Iris Dement, as I love the songs of John Prine. Maybe it's that at the end of the day beauty is in the eye of the beholder ❤️
WOW Very soulful, well written and WHAT A VOICE! VERY touching! Please DONT stop putting out these GREAT songs! This is just FANTASTIC! I'm in AWE You are a Treasure!!
What a great song! Lyrics, music and singer all blended together to perfection. I love this woman!😍
Iris, You're incredible. Along with EmmyLou, Linda Ronstadt, Sylvia Tyson, and a few more...
So talented. So glad I've found you.
brings tears to my eyes
Beautiful.
She's amazing.
I will never be able to express how much this song means to me...Thanks Iris...
I can't explain what she does to a song, unique, would be a understatement, " I had a garden, ,but the flowers died,, easy is gett'in harder,,,,,,, everyday" dam I like that....and for a lot of people, she's got it right,,, harder going, an dead flowers galore.
Beautiful.....Nothing and no one in the whole wide World to compare to the great I.D
easy is gettin' harder up here in Coeur d'Alene.
Nice Song ❤
I love you Iris.

I forgot how my first felt.. You reminded me! What a absolute joy to experience your voice!
