Title: Heather Stewart - "If I Can't Take You With Me"
Post by: Willabe on September 29, 2015, 08:14:53 pm
Man! Where did she come from? I LOVE her voice!!!!! :blob8:   (I've always been a sucker for a waltz.)

They just played this song at the very end of NCIS. This is 1 of THE most beautiful songs I've have ever heard without a doubt!

Words below link.

 Since I can remember, you’re all I know
 From the summers through winters, through laughter and woe
 Well my memory’s fading and my heart it beats slow
 But if I can’t take you with me, then I just won’t go.
 
 Every step of my life, I’ve walked them with you
 As it comes to end, there’s one left to do
 We all face the river and cross it alone
 But if I can’t take you with me, then I just won’t go.
 
 Seems I’ve spent my whole life, with not much to show
 But the love I have for you, that continues to grow
 Well the sun is setting and the wind she won’t blow
 and if I can’t take you with me, then I just won’t go
 
 Every step of my life, I’ve walked them with you
 As it comes to end, there’s one left to do
 We all face the river, and cross it alone
 But if I can’t take you with me, then I just won’t go.

Yeah, this "classic" country is not cool anymore.  I would listen to this before any of the pseudo country rock crap these days.  Am I just getting old? :dontknow: :help: :icon_biggrin:  Good stuff Willabe!

Absolutely with you! (Money, Money, Money, back round singers, Money.  :laugh: )

Brother, I only heard it because it was the back round music in the last scene of NCIS tonight.

The clip I posted is not what was aired on NCIS tonight, I think it's a promo she released? But you can hear it's there!

Thing is, to me there's a 'quality' of tone in her voice and her delivery that's the 'real deal'!!!!!! And the lyrics, timeless!

Am I just getting old?

Heck Yes!  :laugh:   

But, that's not the point, her song pierced your heart?

                                     'Deep calls to deep in the roar of a water fall.'

Cut me to the core.

To me, words are words in a song, but when sung by the right voice, for that lyric's story line, with the right delivery, you hear the soul of those lyrics.  :sad:   

I believe her when she sings it and that's the point to me. Have to make the song come alive when you sing it to touch someone with it down deep. It's in her delivery, her phrasing and vocal inflections. She breaths life into it like an actor on stage or the big screen.

She's good but I like Allison Krauss way better

Does not hurt that Jerry Douglas backs her up sometimes

Yeah, she's great.  :icon_biggrin:   I've got 4, 5 of her CD's.

Jerry's been in her band for years.

Pretty funny that they're a "garage band"  :laugh:
