Emmylou Harris - Till I Gain Control Again (1983) 

Rodney Crowell wrote this masterpiece. Great singer and songwriter in his own right

Spent many a day smoking weed and drinking wine listening to Emmylou in the 70s. That voice just gets in your soul.

I am 53 and have had a crush on Emmy as long as I can remember. I am a musician and absolutely love soulful country music. The songs that she does are just the perfect melodies and rhythms and harmonies that move my soul. She is an absolutely beautiful woman and her voice is angelic. She is my definition of perfection.

Not heard this song for a few years. Goosebumps. Again. Thank you.

Awesome voice, my dad passed away he really loved her, brings me back memories from him

This song used to accompany me on my long trips through the Nevada desert highways at midnight. The moon would rise in the distance as Emmylou sang this song. I felt as though she were singing it to me.

Oh, I've said it so many times, Emmylou has the looks, and the voice of an angel, she just cannot be surpassed.

She drug her beauty right on in to old age. Next month she will be 74 and still drop dead gorgeous.

Great song, incomparable singer…and check out that classic guitar solo by Albert Lee!

Love from Switzerland. ❤️❤️🇨🇭

Just like the sun over the mountain top You know, I'll always come again You know, I love to spend my morning time Like sunlight dancing on your skin And I have never gone so long Just for telling lies to you What you've seen is what I've been There is nothing that I can hide from you 'Cause you see me better than I can Out on the road that lies before me now There are some turns where I will spin I only hope that you will hold me now 'Til I can gain control again Just like a lighthouse, you must stand alone When mark the sailors journey's end No matter, what sea that I've been sailing on I'll always roll this way again Out on the road that lies before me now There are some turns where I will spin I only hope that you will hold me now 'Til I can gain control again Out on the road that lies before me now There are some turns where I will spin I only hope that you will hold me now 'Til I can gain control again Thank you very much

IMHO,Rodney Crowell is one of the most overlooked songwriters and singers in the country. I once saw him,Willie Nelson,and Lyle Lovette on a "Songwriters Special" on PBS,and they were all singing songs one of the others had recorded. When Rodney sang one of Willie's "heartbreak songs",he had Willie crying before the song was half-way over. IIRC,Rodney actually wrote the song,and sold it to Willie to record.

One things for sure....our Rodney Crowell is one of the best....when it comes to writing 📚...SONGS..🎶...Thanks...✨..

Emmylou the best, Albert Lee the greatest, Rodney Crowell, superb song writer.

Heard a lot of versions of this masterpiece, GP, Alison K and other. But this version is the best . The purity of Emmy’s voice and the soul she puts into the song us amazing. Just beautiful.

My copy of Elite Hotel is one of my mostly prized vinyls I have. She is a true legend!

This Lady comes from another World, Her music is Heavenly!!!

And God blew breath into her lungs and said " sing Emmy....sing.."

Must be very hard for an artist to sing a song with the original singer/ songwriter standing next to them, playing with the band. Kudos to Emmylou and Rodney Crowell for this performance!

What a beautiful flower God created with Emmylou...I feel a bit more human amid her compositions and music given my lack of social skills...Emmylou understands the human heart and the chords of life like few performers ever do. I love the way she honored Gram Parsons...an honest tear is more remembered than a ticker tape parade.

Was für eine Stimme - Emmylou Harris , und Albert Lee an der Lead Gitarre 👏👏👏

Used to be a favorite, haven't heard this song in yrs .

Has to be what angels sound like when they sing!!! How can one woman stay so beautiful!!!! Rodney what a TALENT !

This is for someone who knows exactly who I am. Will love you forever B

Jesus this was fantastic. New to Miss Lou … powerful

Can't believe that my hair stylist's cousin, nick DeCaro did the string arrangements on this LP, Elite Hotel. He couldn't believe that I read credits on albums and made note of nick. That was an incredible LP. Yes....LP.

The trifecta, Emmy Lou, Rodney Crowell, and master guitarist Albert Lee.

What a lovely performance of a beautiful song! Emmylou and her talented musicians.❤

It's seems everyone just went into dream mode when she started singing

Wow! That brings back memories.

When Emmy Lou isn't doing shows, she is teaching angels to sing ~

She makes me miss my past sometimes.

“And that girl could sing”☮️

I love Alison Krauss’ version of this beautiful song.👍👍

If there is a more heavenly vocalist on the planet, I could not name that person!! This girl can sing harmonically anything with anyone. Emmylou is an unparalleled icon in the industry!!

an angels voice

That voice!!!!

Thanks so much for finding and reposting this gem. Emmylous response to the feedback alone makes it worthwhile. Only thing I could wish for is to have Linda on harmony.

Its no wonder Emmylou has 14 Grammy awards to her name , she is simply the best of the best , A Beautiful song

I've commented so much on Emmylou, her beauty and her voice. This is one of my favorite songs she does. Her voice is so pure and magnetic. The version on her LP is the best one because it's with her original band. Today's her birthday. Happy 74th Emmy, you are beautiful.

Emmylou is a better singer today then testerday!

Such a beautiful song in this sad 😢 time

Love this song when EmmyLou does it!

Reminds, Me . I Did , Evertery,Thing...Boss..❤❤❤❤

I have loved this woman from day 1. I am 60 now so I've been around a bit....

This song is perfect. Both her and Rodney’s version.

So good ❤❤❤

This is soul touching magic

Albert Lee grew up within a 5 mile radius of Alvin Lee (no relation) Ronnie Wood, and Eric Clapton... I wouldn't mind drinking from that watering hole.

Stumbling in to grace. 👍😊

This Mortal Coil. IYKYK ;-)

Emmylou and Rodney 💙💙

Nothing like tearin your heart out on the first line. Lol. That voice

Emmylou is so talented and beautiful. Lovely version.Thanks so much, Kursebi

She's so gorgeous

Great video,especially since,from what I recall,Rodney Crowell wrote and recorded it first. Could be wrong on that,because I was about 10 at the time I heard it first.

I've said it before and I will say it again. "She's just another woman, the way a diamond, is just another rock."

Exilou você é eterna no meu coração ♥

What a beautiful woman. I've loved her for 45 years.

এখন আমাকে ধরে রাখতে পারবেন....... Lyrics: Just like the sun over the mountain top You know I'll always come again You know I love to spend my morning time Like sunlight dancing on your skin I've never gone so wrong as to telling lies to you What you've seen is what I've been There is nothing I could hide from you You see me better than I can Out on the road that lies before me now There are some turns where I will spin I only hope that you can hold me now Till I can gain control again ঠিক যেন পাহাড়ের চূড়ায় সূর্য তুমি জানো আমি আবার আসব আপনি জানেন আমি আমার সকালের সময় কাটাতে ভালোবাসি আপনার ত্বকে সূর্যালোকের মতো নাচছে আমি আপনাকে মিথ্যা বলার মত এতটা ভুল করিনি আপনি কি দেখেছেন আমি কি করেছি তোমার কাছ থেকে লুকাতে পারি এমন কিছু নেই আপনি আমার চেয়ে ভাল দেখতে পারেন আমার সামনে যে রাস্তায় এখন আছে কিছু বাঁক আছে যেখানে আমি ঘুরবো আমি শুধু আশা করি আপনি এখন আমাকে ধরে রাখতে পারবেন যতক্ষণ না আমি আবার নিয়ন্ত্রণ করতে পারি Like a lighthouse, you must stand alone Landmark the sailor's journeys end No matter what sea I've have been sailing on I'll always roll this way again Out on the road that lies before me now There are some turns where I will spin I only hope that you can hold me now Till I can gain control again একটি বাতিঘর মত, আপনি একা দাঁড়াতে হবে ল্যান্ডমার্ক নাবিক এর যাত্রা শেষ যাই হোক না কেন আমি সমুদ্রে যাত্রা করেছি আমি সবসময় এই ভাবে আবার রোল করব আমার সামনে যে রাস্তায় এখন আছে কিছু বাঁক আছে যেখানে আমি ঘুরবো আমি শুধু আশা করি আপনি এখন আমাকে ধরে রাখতে পারবেন যতক্ষণ না আমি আবার নিয়ন্ত্রণ করতে পারি

Albert Lee on guitar - what more could you want

Love it

The purity, the dedication, the intensity and the beauty: how would you describe this music? Country/ Americana? It puts all other genres in the shadow. It is so grown up.

Three stars just making music ... nice1

Lovely.

Those dreamy eyes get me every time. Beautiful lady.

Her music still makes me happy cry after 50yrs.

Como amo a esa mujer

❤❤❤❤

Exquisite

Emmylou she's the best ..........................

So beautiful song, and she sings it so wonderful. God bless you Emmylou Harris

The lady sitting behind Emmylou is one of my all time favorite singers. Roseanne Cash.

Lovely melodious, amazing lyrics and marvelous singing by Emmylou. With love.

Simply beautiful ❤️

4:12 - till I gain control again . . . I'm melting . . . What a lovely performance and performer.

I like how she was inspired by Joan Baez, wanted to sing folk but then unexpectedly found the purity of country music. She just followed her heart.

A Muse walked the Earth...

I have beeen here 2 hourswatching and listining and crying ----words can't describe ,,,,, ,beautiful

Wow thanks for sharing, I love Her voice!

Even that crap microphone can’t keep that voice from sounding amazing.

God made you special to sing, you are the best 👌.

I grew up w her 8track in my Mommy car,Love this chic

I love Emmylou's many versions of this wonderful Rodney Crowell song. Just for a different perspective, over 20 years after this film, here's England's fabulous Haley sisters, one great guitar and player, and modern production resources, doing this song proud ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jwc9QQEPvqw.html

Goddam is there any doubt Emmy Lou is the best country singer that ever lived?

WOW!

Gosh! This angel from heaven. That angelic voice. She pierces my heart every time she sings. What a gift God has given us.

An angel is singing, beautiful.🙂

Mi love❤

is that a brooding rosanne cash in the background?

Lovely voice. I also love the two Yorkshire sisters' version by the Haley Sisters.

love this band

A beautiful voice!

4:02-4:17 Emmylou adorable

This cry in her voice makes me really shiver.God bless the queen.

Love love love Emmylou. Hot Band kind of good too😊

Hearing this version for the first time ... fantastic. Love Willy's cover.

❣️💌🌹...🕊️...🎼...

I got free ickets to see this lovely lady at Boise State in '80 or '81. My now ex-wife wouldn't go at first, but finally... A great show, a wonderful show but the overall experience was like soy sauce on ice cream as usual. That's one of many reasons she's an ex. I have always loved her music, her voice and playing par excellence.
