Sad and most beautiful tune from this Treasure of an American woman.

[@Gaia369]

WHAT A WOMAN!!!!!! VOICE! MUSIC! COLOURS! SO VIBRANT SOULFUL AND AMAZING

[@flamencoprof]

For those not from the area, Meridian is a town in Eastern -Tennessee- Mississippi close to the border with Alabama. She is "a little South-East of Meridian", thus the references to "across the line", and why the "stars still fall in Alabama", also that's a reference to a historic meteor shower in 1833.

[@Elcap3044]

Meridian Is in Mississippi just across the Alabama line

[@flamencoprof]

@@Elcap3044 I have a memory of an interview where she described diving through Alabama and the idea for the song came to her. Can't find it now. There is a bunch of Meridian placenames in Southern Tennessee, but I think I just wrote the wrong State name. My fault, I am just an ignorant NZer. Edited.

[@agapegracejohn316]

Willie once said: “There’s only 2 types of men in the world …. Those that love Emmylou and those that never met her.” I love this woman. Always have. Always will. 🌹🤍

[@bobbycox9541]

I was blessed to meet her a few years ago as I was honored to cater her backstage before a concert. So humble and sweet. We discussed the MLB play off as she’s a big baseball fan and other events of the day. I was born in Alabama in 1957 so we had things in common. A precious soul.

[@agapegracejohn316]

@@bobbycox9541Thanks for your words and special insight. I would give anything to meet her. Don’t think I could say a word. Blessings. 🙏🏻✝️🤍

[@agapegracejohn316]

Thank you for your special words and insight regarding ELH. This song was played at my cat Bandit’s funeral April 14, 2017. Utterly breaks my heart. I would give anything to meet her. Probably couldn’t say a word. Blessings. 🙏🏻✝️🤍

[@davidroga6508]

Emmy is simply exquisite in this version. Just her voice Carries this song. Mark steps back and let’s her voice do the rest. Emmy voice is so emotive that she gives this song life of its own. Just surreal.

[@B4rchetta]

It is a song which sneaks into your soul and never leaves. It is truly beautiful.

Emmylou Harris! Beautiful lady with a beautiful voice! My grandmother loved her music! RIP grandma! Mark Knopfler one of the true masters of the guitar!

[@wesleyedwards3031]

"But one thing they don't tell you about the blues When you got em You keep on falling cause there ain't no bottom There ain't no end. At least not for Lillian" - This line just kind of slips up on you and then hits mighty hard... Bless you, Emmy. You are a treasure.

I just thank God every day for Emily and her beautiful voice

What a beautiful, sweet sad song...sung with the voice of an angel... Always brings a tear to my eyes...

[@ArcoZakus]

Buster 928, "What a ... sad song ..." Sometimes I wonder if I had to pick the saddest song ever, which would it be? Lots of contenders. like: Marty Robbins' "El Paso", Johnny Cash's "Don't Take Your Guns To Town", Mick Hanly's "Past the Point of Rescue" sung by Hal Ketchum, Bruce Robison's "Travelin' Soldier", also performed by The Dixie Chicks, Pam Tillis' "Tequila Mockingbird", ... But whenever I listen to this song by Emmylou, I believe this just has to be it.

[@karimrifaat8604]

Coucou.

[@davidclarke1320]

I’m not a female but I do come from a red dirt town in north west region of Western Australia. And I 💯 agree with you about how this song reaches out to all the red dirt girls across the world with diverse languages and cultures. Every time I hear ELH sing this song, I think about all my female relatives living in my red dirt hometown.

Saw Emmy-lou in Renfro valley so long ago. only wood bench seat for a few many brought blankets for the ground. Show started with WIlie Nelson the led act, Emmy-lou came on the crowd wasnt settled but not for long, Emmy began too sing! people sat stone still listened to the magic that came after. Wllie came out asked for Emmy-lou to join him on stage. A magical night!! for sure.. not ever seen anything like it. Those were the days.. I was 32 and lov-in life!

[@cdnpicker]

I have absolutely loved Emmylou’s interpretations of other people’s songs since I first heard her in the seventies. The album Red Dirt Girl showed her ability as a writer. I think that this is the best song on the album but there are many others that are almost as good.

[@hectore.cerrutti4075]

Touching story in the sweet voice of this woman

[@Ravenscaller]

Emmylou's live videos are as good if not better than her studio recordings. No lip sync, no auto tune just perfection.

[@timward276]

This is one of the saddest songs I've ever heard. Just broke me down the first time I heard it and I got to that line.

[@peteralbert1485]

I think of Emmylou Harris’ talents first as a powerfully evocative interpreter of other songwriters’ work, as soloist as well as (perhaps the best) harmonist. Well, I think of Emmylou Harris singing a lot: one of the joys of living in SF is having here come here, annually, a gift to us as the closer of every Hardly Strictly Bluegrass festival, free to everyone. But since “Wrecking Ball” wowed me a good decade ago, I’ve been appreciating her as a songwriter in her own right. “Red Dirt Girl” is one of her masterpieces, I think. It’s extra-devastating to think she may have grown up in Alabama with a Lillian. I knew good people from my childhood whose lives crumpled because of hard luck and hard times: I think we all know a “Lillian.” Emmylou’s natural grace and empathy comes through so clear here...she’s a “Red Dirt Girl” who flourishes and soars, and she’s got heart enough to look back and remember and put things in perspective. How lucky we are to have her in our music, still singing and inspiring.

[@geirhegna4801]

Most be one of the most beautiful and saddest song ever 😍😍

[@carolchestnutt2424]

Used to pass her in the dorm at UNC-G, Moore Hall - she dressed funky like most drama majors. We spoke but she was shy back then. I was made housekeeping chairman - inspected her room only to find her sitting on the bed playing her guitar - cleaning her room not important! I did not ground her.

[@lnl3237]

Thank you for sharing that memory. So glad that shy girl found her way onto a stage!

[@leonardclemens202]

she is so beautiful

[@bruceschuman]

So many beautiful comments I can see here, I feel all of this, too. In the wild days, her voice came across the sky from everywhere. Just the sound, the resonance, guiding the soul into the heart of courageous truth. You cannot but love her...

[@thomasfrederic7831]

Superbe balade Emmylou... One of est song! From France

[@Jim_Julian]

Emmylou is a wonderful person. I got to know her when she performed at a coffee house in the Arlandria neighborhood of Alexandria, VA in the 70's. In those days the performers circulated in the audience between sets. My wife and I got to know her a bit. She was totally "undiscovered" at that point but obviously a talent. She used to greet me by name ... probably has forgotten by now.

[@Magnifiqueweare]
