Emmylou Harris - Not Enough Lyrics

One of her most beautiful songs. When my best friend passed away I sent this to my sister (who had a deep love for him). She called me a sadist. I now play this in memory of both of them. Now I'm the masochist.

She has Gram Prasons on her mind

Such truth & expression from the sad, passionate, & the weary......she speaks, she sings her heart out for so many. Her raw honesty & talent are undeniable. I hope to meet her one day to simply shake her hand......& a firm solid & respectful handshake it will be.

Yes inside I am of you.

Only thing is worse than missing you each night, and it happens every morning...

Our isolated selves can communicate the essence of what it is to be human via the medium of an art-form - self-expression which invokes a sympathetic reaction by resonance. Music differs from other art-forms such as painting and sculpture by requiring realization of the sequence of sound that it is. The first part, the composition, is done in time past. The last part, the response of the listener, is concurrent with the performance if an audience is present and/or is deferred to future times and places if the performance has been recorded. This song performance is particularly effective because the song originated from a personal experience of the performer which makes for greater closeness and a sense of genuine feeling. Relatively few people have the ability to connect with others at a deep level in this way. We should be grateful for those who have such ability and are prepared to work to develop and refine it. Ms. Harris also has the empathy and sensitivity to be able to put across other people's songs as well as her own but they cannot have the immediacy of a song such as this. Despite her great wondrousness she is human like the rest of us. She accepts help from others and can actually be seen in this video to visually check some chords ! (Of course she still makes F# minor look easy - as JL8747 mentioned over 2 years ago).

Anyone who has enough feeling to write and perform a song about the loss of her dog is truly a great human being in my estimation. The song breaks my heart but says exactly what so many of us feel about our companion animals.

I'm proud to have been born in Birmingham like her. :)

Achingly beautiful.
