He's been gone a month and Im alone. I've never been alone in my life. I'm the ghost. Rattling around an empty house. Nobody to talk to except the cats. Worring about them being put down when I'm dead. All the things I've gathered and collected all these years dont mean anything anymore.

This is my favorite too but have you seen the live concert Allison with Vince Gill and Keith Urban?

[@RMDole19]

I love both versions. The harmonies on this one are fantastic. The Krauss version is slower and feels more haunting to me. Which is great too lol.

[@Arkylie]

@@RMDole19 Yeah, I think this version, while it sounds great, is actually too fast and a little too bright for the contents. I like both, but I think Krauss's version does more justice to the concept. Though I wish I could figure out a good female-version line for "I'm just a shell of the man I was." That's the line that the Krauss version lacks and it's so poignant. And my dad wants me to do a cover of the song, so I'm hoping to do better than "I'm just a shell of the gal I was" which sounds a bit flippant....

[@RMDole19]

@@Arkylie I completely agree. It’s good but just a little too upbeat. You could try singing “I’m just a shell of who I once was”. I tried to think of a way to remake that line so it would fit a female singer’s perspective and not sound shoehorned but I couldn’t lol.
