Please Don't Tell Me How The Story Ends - Joan Osborne

[@gamefaceca]

While I'm loathe to say that anything can't be topped, I daresay this is the definitive version of this song: an incredible voice, superb musicians, intimate surroundings and what I'm coming to think is one of the finest songs ever written. Just not sure than it can get any better than this.

[@Wiley_Coyote]

Man, sometimes I forget how incredibly this woman sings. Then I stumble across something like this with her.

[@ngseowken9686]

2022 , have listened to countless versions. This is the best I've heard. Thanks.

[@ashrach18]

I have never seen anybody perform a song as well as this, pure feeling, absolutely breathtaking.

[@Cliff2548]

Joan Osborne has a loving gentle voice that causes this song to to echo in your mind and stay there! 🤠

[@maryoleary2037]

Joan certainly owns this song. One of the best renditions of Kris Kristofferson's beautiful poetry.

[@G0dspelronin]

loss for words....jaw dropped.....Only Joan could make this song sound so alive.

[@marieherrington340]

Joan Osborn does "Please Don't Tell Me How The Story Ends" the best I ever heard. Takes me back to a sad time in my life. He left.

[@mrbrannon68]

Best interpretation of this beautiful love song written by Kris Kristofferson. Lovers really don't want to know how the story ends.

[@RalphWigg1]

My first introduction to Jan & I've been an obsessive fan ever since! Love Phil's piano. The Transatlantic Sessions were the best thing on tv back then & as far as I'm concerned, never since bettered.

[@nailswood]

This performance shows why simple songs are so often near perfection. I admire Joan because she has sung what she wanted to sing rather than what she was told to sing. Try to find her version of Raglan Road she does with the cheiftains. Another perfect performance.

[@xine9997]

The poetry of Kristofferson when sung by an intelligent and insightful singer really is something sublime

[@molloyx]

An undiscovered gem, and another reason to appreciate the sublime aspects of 'simple' country music.

[@pnbjpnbj]

Her voice the fiddle and the slide... fantastic !!!

[@wgl1964]

This may be our best great version ever We may never be surpassed again. Just let me enjoy it 'til it's over, or forever Please don't let this song ever end.

[@nealbaker7991]

Very effective way of saluting the song and the singer. Well done.

[@MostHigh777]

Every time I hear this woman she absolutely nails it. Joan Osborne is fantastic.

[@mandolinmle]

Joan rips my heart out with this song.

[@mwake7]

Breathtaking, literally takes my breath away 💖👏🌹

[@jamiesmith7362]

My mother, the only one that would love to hear a whole album like this

[@lynscrimgeour3901]

Recorded in our old converted farm steading in central scotland.some wonderful music and tunes and players

[@AccordionStu]

one of my favourites, thanks for uploading this, Joan has the voice of a Angel.

[@RemingtonRidersMusic]

Such a touching song, and what a great job she does on it.

[@custardflan]

I couldn't agree more. Well put. I've always thought the same thing about her. She clearly has the respect of the musicians she performs with.

[@rinacarty6874]

Such a wonderful singer. My brother sent me a video of her appearing at the Opry, and, I'm ashamed to say that I hadn't heard of her before. My loss. A brilliant singer. 🪕🎤🎶👍Gerry Farry.

[@heiditiwari4884]

A beatiful voice , how lucky we are to share her music

[@oposkainaxei]

Oh my god, Joan is as always breathtaking

[@TheRapid93]

Another Artist That Wont Let Em' Put A Label On Her And Her Music YOU GO JOAN!!!!

[@jimmyriddle100]

wow!! i have just discovered this woman she is a really wonderful singer what a voice!!!thanks for posting.

[@Coxeter1947]

This has to be as beautiful and sad as any song ever written - I've had a recent break-up and it brings tears to my eyes.

[@mattlion69]

Hope your better

[@henrysadowski2164]

Joan is so much fun to listen to

[@philjonz]

She's beautiful and a beautiful voice. The best.

[@charlesmarshall2697]

Oh Lord...breathtaking!

[@jameskeith1474]

The lap steel fits this selection perfectly. What a job from Joan & the band.

[@davejudd11]

Thanks to the wondrous Mr. Kristofferson for this great song...nicely, nicely done, Joan!

[@otakte]

wonderful!!!!fantastic!!!!marvellous!!! It's a pleasure to see and hear how they like to sing together!!

[@ehairgrove]

Our shared heritage-at its peak of its power.

[@jtls8]

Love this song so much!!!! Thank you Deb for sending.

[@Siobhan1966]

This may be our last good night together We may never pass this way again. Just let me enjoy it 'til it's over, or forever Please don't tell me how the story ends. See the way our shadows come together Softer than your fingers on my skin Someday these may be all we remember of each other Please don't tell me how the story ends. Never's just the echo of forever Lonesome as a love that might have been. Let me go on lovin' and believin' 'til it's over Please don't tell me how the story ends.

[@jedlewis8232]

I never knew Joan Osborne was such a great country singer, this is as good as anything by Patsy Cline.

[@ghampton106]

the thing about Joan, if you look at all her videos, is she clearly loves singing/music and dharing that love with anyone that cares to listen. On youtube she has a video where she singe at a Barnes and Noble, another few with the Funk Brothers, and some pop stuff too..notice in all of them she is totally given into the music. I've always admired that about her...and it comes through in the quality and talen of her vocals...she's easily one of my fav female vocalists.

[@catherinedocherty7459]

Sensational

[@gustaavo423]

Eu não conhecia essa música...lindíssima....e um lindo vídeo...parabéns e obrigado por esse vídeo. Joan Osbone tem uma voz linda. Um abraço a todos.

[@morprotein]

Awesome! Love u Joan.

[@philipmccrudden6628]

Music dose not get any better than this .

[@Tburd54]

can't believe I missed this one...your right ...more, more, more!

[@edwardpeterson1634]

Absolutely breathtaking. So great.

[@bmyregaard]

Wow! Amazing stuff!

[@johnnymears2327]

That’s a great rendition of a great song! Thank you for your individuality

[@Mishomisguitar]

Lovely. Lovely. Haven't heard this one before. Thx for posting.

[@philjonz]

Just heard her for the first time accompanying Iris Dement. They are both wonderful artists. What have I been missing! Never heard this song done as good - fabulous is not a fitting adjective for this beauty.

[@bigcoolviking]

WOW! NOW THAT IS sweet!!!

[@jlehner1]

Hey, how 'bout some props to Mr. Jerry Douglas for that tasty lap steel, an instrument that you don't see or hear too much (or enough) anymore. Also, why can one man write "never's just the echo of forever" & "freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose". One of the best ever, Mr. KK, God Bless You!

[@byMamasPlace]

Love this!!! ❤️

[@2bornae]

how come we dont hear more of this lovely singer ?

[@mickbrod1]

new to my ears but oh so joyous to listen to. .

[@rodneysmith8959]

[@candw87]

With Joan singing who wants the Story to End

[@bigcoolviking]

Its on the translantic sessions 3 a double dvd an awsome collection of celtic scottish/ Irish american and canadian musicians recorded in scotland

[@cacjy6b]

Real country just like it should be.

[@deokidokiza]

Joan Osborne is in my top 5 vocalists next to Ella, Whitney, Etta and K. D.

[@tulden]

i will listen to you joan forever your beautiful

[@Billbbk]

I just Love her :-)

[@gustaavo423]

Linda música.... Mais um presente para o bom gosto!

[@candw87]

Great backing

[@Ingi0803]

Make my dreams come true ..

[@romulotristao8541]

Linda canção.

[@toni5956]

queria decir que tiene una voz muy bella

[@tomtscotland]

Have to agree on all counts. She is a diva and has that certain"je ne sai quoi" :~)

[@cacjy6b]

let,s not forget another great musician that should be included in this groop,jerry douglas.

[@Bluesgerd47]

no one sings his songs better than he himself. no one can compare with the depth and honesty of Kris.

[@hassan1d67]

love her real singer

[@SChiasson3]

💕

[@toni5956]

tiene una bellisima !!!

[@candw87]

NOT ONE OF THE BEST BUT THE BEST

[@bobbyscott9723]

Could someone please tell me if that's the Legendary Jerry Douglas on the Slide Guitar? No Doubt Joan can sing all types of music...Excellent Voice Quality.

[@jamesmccormick211]

+Bobby Scott Absolutely. This is from the Transatlantic Sessions series. Jerry Douglas and Aly McBain were the musical directors; fantastic series. You should Google it and search on KZbin. You'll love it.

[@jonsouthgen]

@@jamesmccormick211 Transatlantic Sessions is still alive and kicking.It closes out the Celtic Connections festivsl in Glasgow every January.The same Jerry Douglas,Ally Bain,Phil Cunningham and another seven or eight superb musicians backing a selection of singers from both sides fo the Atlantic.Recent years have seen Rodney Crowell, shawn Colvin, Rhiannon Giddens ,Mary Chapin Carpenter.This years event (Jan 2019) features Gretchen Peters among others. We attend every year and bought our tickets this week.www.celticconnections.com/events/Pages/event.aspx?event=15/transatlantic-sessions

[@jamesmccormick211]

I had heard that recently. I'd love to go over. My sister lives in Ireland and my niece is in Bristol, so I guess I have no excuses.

[@cliffwheeler7357]

I’m being pedantic here, but Jerry is playing a lap steel guitar.

[@Mjollnir50]

Jerry Douglas, lap steel ? Beautiful cover.

[@trevormcgaughran9351]

Yes

[@stephenlamb3929]

She is awesome! Listen to her Do the Hip shake by The Rolling Stones!

[@mohammedj9172]

Please don't tell How the story END Like

[@kmslfd]

I love her, and she no way needed this guy in this song, way to beautiful a voice he adds nothings, except a distraction to look at.

[@Ries1948]

Joan sings beter than all the others.

[@britinbigd]

The version by Willie Nelson tops this effort by some distance - he delivers a much more soulful and emotionally authentic rendition of this beautiful song.

[@flbe6000]

For some reason , I think of Iris Dement as I listen to this. With a more refined voice.

[@rorob53]

excerpt from the transatlantic sesions.

[@tomtscotland]

Superb version of Kris Kristofferson's tiuching song.

[@ryanburger]

such a beautiful and talented woman. her voice sweeps me away everytime. although she does not look like she is singing live here :( but i could be wrong

[@mattlion69]

Her voice makes me week...so beautiful

[@edwardpeterson1634]

mattlion69 weak

[@stevehutchinson2336]

that lap steel is smooth genius, any idea who is playing?

[@cliffwheeler7357]

Jerry Douglas. It’s easier to name who he hasn’t played with. He’s always in demand. Eric Clapton is an admirer of Jerry’s playing and always invites him to his Crossroads Guitar Festivals.

[@judiekleng]

She sings it better than anyone else, other than Ronnie Milsap. Kudos to the writer Kris Kristopherson who wrote a heartbreaking beautiful song.

[@toni5956]

tambien estoy enamorado de ella

[@davidkroll4360]

Kristofferson really writes a great song, doesn't he ? Joan really does it justice ! A great song done by a great singer - that's what music is all about.
