More From Alison Krauss

As a kid, there are some things you looked forward to. you looked forward to charlie brown during halloween and you looked forward to monday night football.
Football Monday Halloween
...the laws of physics, carefully constructed after thousands of years of experimentation, are nothing but the laws of harmony one can write down for strings and membranes. the laws of chemistry are the melodies that one can play on these strings. the universe is a symphony of strings. and the "mind of god," which einstein wrote eloquently about, is cosmic music resonating throughout hyperspace.
Writing Years Law
There are two kinds of music. one comes from the strings of a guitar, the other from the strings of the heart. one sound comes from a chamber orchestra, the other from the beating of the heart's chamber. one comes from an instrument of graphite and wood, the other from an organ of flesh and blood. this loftier music i speak of tonight is more pleasing than the notes of the most gifted composers, more moving than a marching band, more harmonious than a thousand voices joined in hymn and more powerful than all the world's percussion instruments combined. that sweet sound of love.
Sweet Powerful Moving
I like the strings. i always have. because that's how it feels. but the strings make pain seem more fatal than it is, i think. we're not as frail as the strings would make us believe. and i like the grass, too. the grass got me to you, helped me to imagine you as an actual person. but we're not different sprouts from the same plant. i can't be you. you can't be me. you can imagine another well – but never quite perfectly, you know?
Pain Believe Thinking
For me the world has always been more of a puppet show. but when one looks behind the curtain and traces the strings upward he finds they terminate in the hands of yet other puppets, themselves with their own strings which trace upward in turn, and so on. in my own life i saw these strings whose origins were endless enact the deaths of great men in violence and madness. enact the ruin of a nation.
Men Hands World
If i had my way, i would build a lethal chamber as big as the crystal palace, with a military band playing softly, and a cinematograph working brightly; then i'd go out in the back streets and main streets and bring them in, all the sick, the halt, and the maimed; i would lead them gently, and they would smile me a weary thanks; and the band would softly bubble out the 'hallelujah chorus'.
Military Sick Band
