Emmylou Harris

Nice tribute to Emmylou Harris at Power Line by a music minded co-blogger called Big Trunk. Nice picture too -- had to borrow it. It doesn't sound like he has quite the attachment to Emmylou that Dr. Reptile has but Prayer In Open D is a nice lyric for the times. Apparently Neil Young was just operated on for an intracranial (brain) aneurysm. That post is called "Expecting to Fly" which is nicely done.

"Expecting To Fly"

There you stood
on the edge of your feather,
Expecting to fly.
While I laughed,
I wondered whether
I could wave goodbye,
Knowin' that you'd gone.
By the summer it was healing,
We had said goodbye.
All the years
we'd spent with feeling
Ended with a cry,
Babe, ended with a cry,
Babe, ended with a cry.

I tried so hard to stand
As I stumbled
and fell to the ground.
So hard to laugh as I fumbled
And reached for the love I found,
Knowin' it was gone.
If I never lived without you,
Now you know I'd die.
If I never said I loved you,
Now you know I'd try,
Babe, now you know I'd try.
Babe, now you know I'd try,
Babe.
