Emmylou Harris - Calling My Children Home. video free download

Laurence Thomson

Today, on the second anniversary of the Newtown Tragedy, I think this is the perfect anthem for all of the victims of that terrible event.

Check out the Melodores version of this song. Second best version (behind this one) that I have heard.

This song clip is from a DVD made of an Emmylou tour. She is featured, because it's her production. People who purchase the DVD want to see Emmylou. That is common sense. The backup singers are her band members, Brady Blade and Daryl Johnson. When Brady and Daryl tour with their band and make their own video, they can have center stage and close-ups. I am not sure why people comment that someone else does a song better. If you like the other singer, go to their YT clip and listen to that.

listen to this a lot and think of mama, who is gone now and my own children. I just really like her singing and harmony with others. Wish someone would do one of my favorites Doing time in Babylon or well song is great when you listen to words true very true of everyone including myself.

Uh...excuse me? When EmmyLou is featured, then it's a "duh" that she should be up front in video and in audio. When she is not the featured singer she never upstages the other(s). There only 2 singers that do this song the justice it deserves; EmmyLou and Jill Johnson. As for Anne and Pete Sibley; give me a break. Two high school aged kids calling their children back home????.... Patty Harris?

@BillieJoesGirl06 Actually I was agreeing with you. I don't think I have to assume anything. All you have to do is look at all the "gush" from many of her fans on many videos. No matter who has the lead or who she is paired with it is de facto an Emmylou video. The other singers contributions are ignored. I like her singing. I have some of her CD's -- I just get annoyed with all the adoration and making here a goddess, other singers can't walk in her footsteps, etc.

@Mandolin1944 Not to be rude or anything you shouldn't assume things. I know Emmylou has the habit of drowning out other singers with her voice. Secondly I don't see her as the second coming I like her as a singer she's not my favorite but I still like her. All I said was basically I liked the song and that it stirred up emotions for me. So yes I do understand once again not trying to be rude.

@Mandolin1944 Beg pardon the other great version is Jill Johnson not Patty Harris.

@BillieJoesGirl06 No, no you don't understand -- as soon and Emmylou touches the microphone all other singers on the stage are unimportant and it is an Emmylou solo don't you know? Maybe I sound a bit satirical? Harris is indeed a fine singer but to her fans she is the second coming. In my opinion Patty Harris and also Anne and Pete Sibley have the best videos of this great song. This one is good too -- just my opinion.

Emmylou's beauty nearly stops your heart from beating. She takes your breath away.

When Nasa sent in space a plate representing the most significant things of humanity they should have sent some Emmylou's records too!

If this song doesn't make you want to call your mom, I don't know what will. Beautiful.

Who are these men that combined with her perfect voice make this song what it is? They really need recognition!!

BigJoeHUrt

Whoa! gorgeous harmonies, gorgeous song!

This song is so touching and beautiful. Whenever I listen to it I can see myself years from now and still listening to it while missing my own children.

Don't you wish all of us could wish this for the world? I hear God call us in this beautiful song In this realm or the spiritual still an amazing song with such pure harmony
