    Emmylou's voice has the unique ability to be a breathless whisper delivering one line, and then resonate straight to your soul on the next. It's always a joy to hear her sing.

    I first saw her in Dublin in the 70’s. A friend gave me his ticket. They had double printed tickets and I wound up sitting next to the guy mixing the sound. We got talking and I found out he came from my hometown. He asked me back to the Shelbourne to the after concert party. I got to meet Emmy Lou.

    This video is timeless, breathtaking it’s like the song reaches out and touches you. Emmy is beyond reproach, obviously everyone knows she’s country royalty, but I also am amazed by the band Rodney Crowell and the others aswell forgive me I don’t know their names. The harmonies were subtle yet perfect.

    Emmylou's addition of the wordless singing at the end, its tone of grief and loss and hopelessness made somehow beautiful, makes this the best cover of an amazing song.

      I agree. Her version of "Tougher than the Rest" which in my opinion is preferable to that of the songwriter also has a "wordless coda" which is very effective:

    It was just a year or so before this song, "Making Believe," that she's singing now, that I ever heard of Emmy Lou Harris. In 1976 at the Circle Star Theater, I thought I went to see Willie Nelson. I never heard of Emmy Lou. She opened for Willie, I could hear her, before I could see her, as the stage turned slowly around as the performers were singing. The stage rolled slowly around, It seemed the lady who was singing, was made out of Angel Clay. That night, she was the prettiest women on the planet. Now 46 years have gone by, she's old and gray-haired, but amazingly, she's still made of angel clay. Still gorgeous beyond belief. That's young Rodney Crowell singing with her. Albert lee playing lead guitar. Their music will famous 1000 years from now.

    Making believe
    That you still love me
    It's leaving me alone and so blue
    Still I'll always dream
    I'll never own you
    Making believe
    It's all I can do
    Can't hold you close
    When you're not with me
    You're somebody's love
    You'll never be mine
    Making believe I'll spend my lifetime
    Loving you and making believe
    Making believe
    I never lost you
    But my happy hours
    I find are so few
    My plans for the future
    Will never come true
    Making believe
    What else can I do?
    Making believe
    I'll spend my lifetime
    Loving you and making believe
