5 Year Old Girl With Cancer Leaves Behind an Unbelievable Series of Messages - Sad But Inspiring Vid 4 hrs Andrea Bocelli And Alison Krauss Team Up for An Absolutely Beautiful Version of ‘Amazing Grace’.
- Alison Krauss gets introspective and personal on her seventh album, one of her solo outings that shoves Union Station in the background while conventional country steps up to the spotlight. But Krauss is a little too sharp for Nashville standard, so Forget About It sounds more like an adult pop album with occasional notes of country grace.
- Born in Champaign, Illinois, Alison Krauss grew up listening to everything from folk to opera to pop and rock music, but quickly fell in love with bluegrass when she began playing fiddle at the age of five.
I’m so in love with this Raising Sand album… it’s sick & unhealthy, I’m sure. I apologize for the innocent by- standers that read my blog & could care less about music. Look away for this one.
That being said… I absolutely had to post these song lyrics. I hope you let it marinate in your mind & your soul & let it allow you to think a little… & think outside the box… piecing the lyrics together & understanding symbolization & the amazing thought it takes to write & deliver good music. It’s truly art.
Trampled Rose:
Get my medicine
Sky’s the autumn grey of a lonely wren
Gone tomorrow, gone yesterday
At first I did not see
Lying at my feet
A trampled rose
It never stops going around
I done to you
What happened to the trampled rose?
Would he sing ‘Kisses Sweeter Than Wine’
Like I know my name
The one I gave my love,
It was the same
Now I find it in the street,
A trampled rose
Seeing the lyrics without hearing the incredible music, melody, & voice behind it is like seeing only a portion of a piece of art. It’s just beautiful music. period.
I wanted to post the lyrics to 2 of Robert Plant’s songs & another of Alison Krauss’ (from an older album), but I’m aware that is a little obnoxious. I’ll probably cave in a couple of months & post them anyway. serious.
