This gem sparkles with Emmylou's emotive vocals and the sheer poetry of the lyrics. Like a diamond, it's forever.

[@charlesl6953]

That voice, that wonderful voice...

[@om92555]

It is so beautiful.

[@song-rz6hi]

Poet absolute, and genius of love

[@lyon3511]

Brilliant and beautiful and sublime and awesome. "There are two types of men. Those in love with Emmyloo and those that never met her." - Willie Nelson

[@melodiefrances3898]

This song ... Whew, beautiful grief ...

[@whiskey6actual]

all the verses are like a corkscrew to my heart

[@melodiefrances3898]

Me too. Whew ...

[@janawall3306]

Me, too.

[@lisawilson3032]

What a great way to put that.

[@jeffkaufman9875]

@firebase And you can thank Mr. Dylan for that expression…

[@timmycan1]

Amazing song by this talented woman. So much packed in there.

[@davidroga6508]

Emmy is just hauntingly brilliant again. She delivers this song with such perfection. Cannot get better. Michael Angelo should be very proud to hear her sing this with such emotion.

Lyrics:❤ Last night I dreamed about you I dreamed that you were older You were looking like Picasso With a scar across your shoulder You were kneeling by the river You were digging up the bodies Buried long ago Michelangelo Last night I dreamed about you I dreamed you were a pilgrim On a highway out alone to find The mother of your children Who were still unborn and waiting In the wings of some desire Abandoned long ago Michelangelo Were you there at Armageddon Was Paris really burning Could I have been the one to pull you From the point of no returning And did I hear you calling out my name Or was it forgotten long ago Michelangelo Last night I dreamed about you I dreamed that you were riding On a blood-red painted pony Up where the heavens were dividing And the angels turned to ashes You came tumbling with them to the earth So far below Michelangelo Last night I dreamed about you I dreamed that you lay dying In a field of thorn and roses With a hawk about you crying For the warrior slain in battle From an arrow driven deep inside you Long ago Michelangelo Did you suffer at the end Would there be no one to remember Did you banish all the old ghosts With the terms of your surrender And could you hear me calling out your name Well I guess that I will never know Michelangelo Last night I dreamed about you I dreamed that you were weeping And your tears poured down like diamonds For a love beyond all keeping And you caught them one by one In a million silk bandannas that I gave you long ago Michelangelo

The Definition Of Emmylou Harris - Perfect !!!

[@themanren]

I don't think it gets much better than this. Peace, Michael Angelo

[@petercosgrove6530]

As poignant as leonard Cohen's hallelujah, and with the wonderful and unmistakable voice of Emmylou Harris.

[@rayunseitig6367]

good quality sound. very nice.

[@damijanruzic9128]

Michelangelo, genius--like you Emyllou

[@renatestave6560]

Der Wahnsinn, diese Stimme.Ich höhren mich gerade zu Tode. 😍😍😍😍😍

[@davidroga6508]

A brilliant haunting tribute to a brilliant artist. From one brilliant exceptional artist to another. The lyrics are loaded with M’angelos accomplishments. Emmy has captured his lifetime achievements with such panache, it is surreal. Just a classic tribute.

[@margaretross9150]

I think you'll also find many parallels to the life of Gram Parsons in these lyrics. He was Emmylou's friend and mentor, and he died just as their partnership was taking off.

[@dalelerette206]

I've been a big fan of Emmylou because I love her. And I've loved Michaelangelo. Yet this is the first time I heard her sing this song. I would love to sing this song with her in person. She is such a beautiful humble singer,

Beautiful

[@srow1212]

Wow. This song has so many visual images in my mind.

[@petercosgrove6530]

Divine.

[@eckpolmick5080]

exquisite

[@usn64711]

So few views on such a beautiful version of this song. Sad

[@marmas58ink]

from E.H.'s own site she comments, "This song came to me in a dream. I read a lot and I find myself very moved by language. There's almost a direct steal in this lyric by Carl Sandburg. I just kinda rewrote it." Great song. Wish I knew more about what she means about the song coming to her in a dream.

[@mattthompson9826]

This is another song about Gram.

[@tjwash2]

Though not a great poet, or even a good one, in my 20’s I’d wake from dreams with poems completely formed in my head so I’d get up and write them down quickly.

[@dalelerette206]

Michelangelo was a savant born out of time, with a sequence lost in time much like Christopher Reeve : kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6bMlKmGj7h-f68 -- Somewhere in Time from 1980 - starring Christopher Reeve, Jane Seymour, and Christopher Plummer. Jane Seymour is timeless treasure. Thank you for sharing these memories, Emmylou. Maybe we met somewhere in time singing in sympathetic resonance with each other. ❤

[@pascallemoine239]

Chanson et chanteuse envoûtantes. Un rêve, un ange, sa meilleure periode.

[@dileepaappuhamy4017]

Thank you so much

[@田村廣志-o2b]

backband spyboys excellent

[@mattthompson9826]

Mother of your unborn and waiting children Gram!

[@melodiefrances3898]

I was wondering if Gram was in this song ...

[@mattthompson9826]

Yes. It is about Gram. A true story that makes Romeo and Juliet pale in comparison.

[@margaretross9150]

@@melodiefrances3898 All about him I would say. Astonishing lyrics.

[@jackwalker1822]

So much sadder to know it is about Gram. This woman is all heart

[@juanarto]

Got a little extra at the end there. 👻
