Alison Krauss & Union Station - Paper Airplane

[@kattwin1]

I love how she hits those notes! She's singing so subdued, and then BAM! She's there! Her sound is so authentic and pure.

[@bobhill3941]

That's what drew me to her over 15 years ago and why I introduced my mom to her. She brings me to tears sometimes.

[@dennismackey8169]

her voice is like "HI DEF" audio! Each note is as crisp as a cool Nebraska autumn morning......

[@filmedocumentare]

Very nice comment, pastel style, poetic imagination

[@JeremyWhiteShow]

Mike Shipley was one of the greatest engineers and mixers of all time, his work on this record is untouchable. RIP Mike. Legend!

[@passenger62]

@@JeremyWhiteShow Did Shipley get a grammy for this record?

[@___xyz___]

@@passenger62 I don't know either of them. But he damn well should have.

[@Sluggo01]

Her voice has been so well-defined all of her life if you go back and listen to some very very early stages in life it’s the VOICE quality

[@myfairyblueworld]

I don't consider myself a country fan but I am a fan of great music. Allison, you have the voice of an angel.

[@outerlimitsurvey]

+Anne-Marie Rosado More Bluegrass than country and you are right; her voice is sublime. I'm not much of a fan of country music either but some of the women in country are amazing. Emmylou Harris IMHO is the best voice in country music. If you go back farther Patsy Cline was just wonderful and no doubt she would have made a lot more great music if she didn't die so young at 30. Sadly all the great country is overshadowed by crap like Garth Brooks and Shania Twain.

[@myfairyblueworld]

@@outerlimitsurvey agreed. I grew up with Patsy Cline, she was one of my dad's favorites.

I just saw them. They opened the show with this. Grown men were crying!!!! No lie. The most beautiful thing i've ever heard in my life.

[@confosos]

She has not just an amazing voice, but she really puts herself out there. Almost every time I hear her voice it is almost as if she is opening a window into her soul. Giving you a chance to catch a glimpse of what she feels and how she looks at things. But, it just seems deeper than most attain. She is one of a kind, set apart from the rest. It isn't that I would say she is better, but more so she is in a different category than most artists I hear.

[@jeffpinson5646]

Sings like an Angel. Always thought that.

[@AlexMick]

this song made me cry today on the train... I really didn't expect that to happen, I have heard it before, but today it just did speak to me. I can't stop listening to it again and again. There are loads of comments about how good Alison is and how amazing her voice is. It is true, but guys, come on, listen to this song and its lyrics, it is a MASTERPIECE!!!

[@ed7hanke]

Talk about emotional salve... This goes on thick. So glad I finally discovered it (late in 2024)! Thank you, Alison and Union Station! ❤

[@chadthompson8987]

I can't understand why this was not something that made it so much further than it did. I love this song and most importantly love the lyrics and the emotion behind them!

[@TheScottybobear]

Chills! I know her birth date and have worked in georgia for her. Anyone that loves her...you are my friend forever! She is an angel and kept me from doing a shit load of bad things. She makes the world happy! Thanks for posting!

[@kevinhunt7511]

I am fair to certain that Allison Krauss is indeed an angel walking the earth among mortal man...The guys in Union Station are of that rare quality that Heaven would couple her with. What a group!

[@LucidDream]

She's so good. When I was younger my parents took me to see her. (Like mid '90s, I think.) I swear she hasn't aged a bit either, she's still just as beautiful as she ever was. Her voice is just...beyond words.

[@96cutlas]

SHE GETS BETTER WITH AGE

[@paulaloewen2517]

I think she maybe my favorite; her voice is captivating! Best female vocalist ever!

[@rationallogo]

Her music and voice are the zenith, the epitome of classic Americana. I've driven cross country solo several times and listened to her music only on several of those drives, through Iowa, Nebraska........the sights and sounds were so congruent with each other. Thanks, Alison Krauss and Union Station, for all the great music all these years.

[@wesg7780]

Rationallogo i can only imagine the sights along with alison's voice. Spine-chilling and amazing!

[@rationallogo]

@Alison Krauss You’re not the real Alison. Shame on you.

[@bekindunlimited]

my name is clare I am 12 years old and last night me and my dad went to see alison krauss and union station the paper airplane tour in dublin Ireland-she has the vioce of an angel- just breathtaking it was note perfect.Thank you Alison Krauss,Jerry Douglas,Dan Tyminski,Ron Block,Barry Bales and Josh hunt for the best night of my whole life ---I hope one day I will be able to sing and perform just like Alison Krauss

ever since I went to see Alison Krauss and union station in dublin ireland I have done 5 solos in my local chapel my confidence has really grown I have been greatly inspired by her. I am 12 years old and hope one day if I work hard I can be like Alison Krauss

Letting go of my husband was a long process - this song was just out when I actually started. Now that I’ve let go I no longer need anything at all. I’m so excited for my future now!

John David Me too. She's amazing, as is the entire band. Pure magic.

[@boulterontarioman48]

Alison has the most wonderful voice sent directly from the angels in heaven. There will never be another angelic voice like Alisons again, ever. I wish I could have seen Alison when she was at the Rogers Blu grass Festival in Rogers, Ohio in 1987. Alison was only 16 years old and I would have loved to see her when she was up here in Ohio. Alison you are a true angel sent directly from the angels in Heaven. God Bless you Alison. P.S. And why are you not married yet? Take Care Kiddo. Boulterontarioman48 Mr. Weber, New Waterfod,Ohio.

[@dharmadove]

Class... AKUS are truly top of the list for me. Met them at various times over the years... Alison spent 10 minutes talking with my daughter about music when she was about 9. Never forget that night... Good folks...

[@leroymorris3318]

never in my life has anyone went as far as she does to the depths of my very soul. There could never be another to even compare to this wonderfully magnificent voice, surely an Angel, I love you

[@tamilapp4944]

I saw Alison and company in concert this past Saturday in Cleveland, OH (3/31/12)..she still sounds everybit as beautiful and magical in person as you can imagine.....I have loved her these past 20-odd years and her and her music just grow more exhilarating and beautiful as time goes on....

[@buckwhitfield8195]

I'm one of Alison's biggest fans and all of Union Station's videos are awesome. Real, talent and true artistry.

[@samhawk000]

"let your loss be your lesson", "killing the blues", "fortune teller" are all incredible as is the entire album

[@FeatheryBird]

Shes creates music masterpieces, now her videos are starting to be like mini portraits painted by the old master artists, amazing stuff. The whole sepia tone thing is bangin, and her granny panty showing just a tad through her dress at the very end; brilliant.

[@ramseydaugherty5515]

This here's what happens when you combine the voice of an angel with quite possibly the greatest musicians in her genre

[@susanholdman4740]

I love all of Alison Krauss & Union Station's work. Thank you brilliant people.

[@tennyson4331]

She brings you in with the lush softness of her voice then pierces your heart and claims your soul with that glass cutting change in tone.... What a perfect and stunning woman!!

[@erichbrough6097]

Heard AKUS do Paper Airplane live on the TODAY show, and Alison just tore it up, especially that last chorus- made the track seem like a tame rough draft by comparison. 'Our love will die, I know'... and I just sat there and bawled like a baby! Once in a generation voice, simply incomparable.

[@adolpholiverbush2]

Erich Brough I always, and I mean always, tear up just a bit at the line "how many days should I smile with a frown, 'cause you're not around..." Always hits me in the feels.

[@erichbrough6097]

Adolph Oliver Bush , the line where she just went for it was 'how many nights must I wake up alone/ and _know_ in my _soul_ [her emphasis] / that it's almost over now...' Ripped me up like a cheap suit.

[@markspangler6539]

Her voice is golden, her technique is so polished and spot on, and last but definitely not least so beautiful on so many levels, but very easy on the eyes. Would love to write music with her as I lost my son at the age of 17, just a few months before his high school graduation. There are some sad lyrics to be written which would fit perfect with her style of music. She has stayed true to what's made her so popular with some deviation but returning to her roots and not dashing off to what's popular. Sounds like some of her talent is being passed on to her son. I too was given a talent to play by ear on many different stringed instruments ands its a true joy to hear you play. Love ya Alison.....you go girl.

[@Skanda1111]

Please write you song and play it sir. Wishing you light!

Alison Krauss is the most beautiful woman in the world on alot of levels....she brings tears to my eyes.

[@zeroregrets5901]

the voice is like an angels voice, only saw her and union station i believe once and wow on point. what talent. her cd with robert plant is good not probably what you or i use to, but its good. the violin for some reason is just a favorite of mine. i believe my great grandmother played that and the dobro never saw her but i heard about it. voice of an angel. no one else compares.

[@Trouble82491]

i love Alison. Her voice is so pure. There really is no one else out that's like her. She doesn't use sex to sell her music, she lets her talent do that. I adore her music! She is definately one of my fav. artists of all time. :) This song is beautiful along with every other song by her!

[@drobles394]

First time hearing this number. Sure hope she doesn't stop these solo spots with U.S. - no matter where she goes, but we're forever in her debt for all the wonderful true music afforded to us by her angelic presence in this life -

[@stuartthorpe]

I have been following this remarkable group of musicians for a long time now and...they just keep on getting better, higher.

This song is so poignant. I have friends who recently have decided to call it a day after marriages of 30 years or more. The words of the song just express the hopelessness. for some people, of finding true and everlasting love. Her songs have a universal message . Hang in there, C and G!

[@cici6295]

One of her best!!! 💗❤💗❤💗❤💗 relationships are hard, it doesn't matter who you are seeing. There are always going to be highs and lows. But what aggravates me most is disloyalty. I'm a firm believer in free will. No relationship should be forced. However, if you find yourself unhappy being in a relationship. And you've been together months, heck maybe even years. Don't jump into another relationship when you haven't properly ended the previous one. If you are afraid of hurting someone's feelings by ending the relationship. Keep in mind that by not telling them hurts even more. Of course, they are going to be hurt by the breakup, that's normal. But at least they know that you have respect for them as a person. Not cheating behind their back. Relationships are hard enough as it is. I firmly believe that if I'm cheated on by any man, they don't deserve my friendship period. If they can't be upfront and honest, my connection with you is done. Simple as that. Beautiful songs like this always tug at my heartstrings.

[@Freddtheoldmechanic]

If there is a Music too lubricate the heart in every way...this is in my opinion the greatest way too have a believe in human greatness ...my heart melts every time i hear the sound of her voice.......thanks for beeing the band that you are !! Greetings a warm heart in Norway...

[@VickiFourie1]

I've put it all behind me Nothin' left to do or doubt Some may say But every silver linin' Always seems to have a cloud That comes my way Anticipated pleasure Or unexpected pain No choice I feel Love is hard to measure Hidden in the rain That's why you'll find me Here all alone and still wonderin' why Waitin' inside for the cold to get colder And here where it's clear that I've wasted my time Hopin' to fly 'cause it's almost over now People come together People go their own way Love conquers few And I'll do whatever I'll say what I need to say Just not for you How many days should I smile with a frown 'Cause you're not around with the sun on your shoulders? And how many nights must I wake up alone And know in my soul that it's almost over now? Love is like a paper airplane Flyin' in the folded dent Ridin' high, dippin' low But innocence is fair game I'm hopin' I can hold it in Our love will die, I know
