I agree, I don't think I've ever heard a more poignant heartbreaking tribute to lost love, than this one Emmylou wrote for to & about Gram. I know she would have gladly walked every step of the way, to have that nightmare not be true... to see his face. Thank you for listening & commenting
Even though I never met Gram I feel like I know him a little bit. I know that I love him and his music I cry at quite a few of his songs including this one, Another Time Another Place is so Gram and there are some others
I understand that, some of his songs are so deeply rooted in his life that we can't help but know a little of him, but, I also feel that because Emmylou did survive and go on to write and sing her songs of him, we know him even better than we would have! In my opinion, She is actually a national treasure! We are so blessed to have their music.. Thanks for watching & comment!
This song makes me cry everytime, they belonged together. This is such beautiful video, all the pictures of the two of them, of Joshua Tree and even of the Inn. My husband and I stayed in Gram's room for 2 nights in Nov. of 2019. It was a deeply touching and magical experience, I felt him in my soul. It's such a gorgeous, chill place to stay. I am so glad to have found your video. Thanks for bringing the soulmates back together for a few blissful moments.
I first heard this song on an old album I bought in a collection a few years ago, my sister & I both cried our eyes out, not even knowing the story behind it. The story behind it is even sadder than any we could think of as we later learned. You are fortunate to have visited his old hangouts. Thank you for commenting!
I'd have to agree with you Robert, I have made several videos & have a lot of her albums, have heard her singing backup harmony in many beautiful songs, but none have ever carried the raw edge of hopeless truth in heartbreak as this one does. I'm glad you liked my video, Thank you for commenting!
Boulder to Birmingham - This is one of the most beautiful songs I know. It's a true hymn to life, and Emmylou managed to convey all the anguish of Gram's loss, penetrating deep into our hearts and minds. With this, she keeps Gram always alive in our memory, even 50 years after his early disappearance. They say that between Gram and Emmylou there was only a feeling of friendship. I contest: she could always declare this because she is a person of integrity and honest with her feelings, but, deep down in her soul, her connection, her connection with Gram, was much deeper. They completed each other and the only reason they didn't go together was because of the absurd conventions of our world, and the path set by destiny for their lives. Just listen to the other song that Emmylou made in memory of Gram: The Road... another beautiful and poignant page of American music, to see the real meaning of Gram in Emmylou's journey. 
Lovely note. Emmylou has described Gram as a very gifted and talented, beautiful, generous, sweet and loving soul. That certainly shines through in his music.
আমি প্রেমের গান শুনতে চাই না..😢♥ Lyrics: I don't want to hear a love song I got on this airplane just to fly And I know there's life below But all that it can show me Is the prairie and the sky And I don't want to hear a sad story Full of heartbreak and desire The last time I felt like this It was in the wilderness and the canyon was on fire And I stood on the mountain in the night and I watched it burn I watched it burn, I watched it burn. I would rock my soul in the bosom of Abraham I would hold my life in his saving grace. I would walk all the way from Boulder to Birmingham If I thought I could see, I could see your face. Well you really got me this time And the hardest part is knowing I'll survive. I have come to listen for the sound Of the trucks as they move down Out on ninety-five And pretend that it's the ocean coming down to wash me clean, to wash me clean Baby do you know what I mean I would rock my soul in the bosom of Abraham I would hold my life in his saving grace. I would walk all the way from Boulder to Birmingham If I thought I could see, I could see your face.
