Iris DeMent - Sweet Is The Melody

What a beautiful song, what a beautiful voice, what a beautiful face.

I was pretty bummed by Nanci Griffith’s passing, but we still have voices like Iris.

Every word is genius

Is that Jay Ungar on fiddle?

Wonderful performance, love the song.

There is no other like Iris…..utterly amazing’

Such a perfect, lovely voice!

Thank you Iris.

Thankyou kindly!!!

"So hard to make every note sound just right" - that's why she is so, so good; she puts her heart and soul into every note of every song.

Her capo changes position.

This song is a whole MOOD. I hope every musician in this video knows how important they are. Thank you

Is there a better way to start or end the day?

I’m in tears

What is it about a well timed key change that always drives home a song like this? Iris is simply a treasure. Like all my favorite artists, she wears every lyric in her expressions.

First time seeing this video and what a performance by Iris that was a beautiful song by a beautiful lady. Speaking of beauty, the lady on the double bass is the most beautiful person that I have seen in quite a long time. Hello Molly your appearance in this video has made my day. Thanks for posting.

The perfect waltz.

Sweet indeed🥰

Beautiful..that's the world... beautiful

Wish there was a complete showing of this session. It is great.

She is beautiful and her singing is even better.She’s gorgeous I love her

So perfect 💜💜💜💜💜💜

What a true,wholesome talent. Pure country.

30 years on, and I can't hear this song without crying. Everyone looks so young in this video, those that are still with us...

…and let’s hear it for the under-appreciated, accordion players!

I love Iris DeMent!

The greatest dimples in music.

this is what you get when you sing from the heart....and are not...overproduced!

"An arm's just an arm til its wrapped around a shoulder" One of the best lines in song ever written

Love the way Iris presents her singing and lyrics to her songs. They have such wonderful story lines. Keep recording Iris, and I'll keep listening!

Oh my gosh, what can i say, beautiful voice! ❤

Such a beautiful song.

Weltklasse Stimme, ich bin begeistert, danke

Iris goes straight to the heart of things.

🎶"For sail-a-brating..."🎶

So hard not to cry everytime I listen to this Song♥️

The dimple makes me want to like her❤

Fucking dope!!!

Hands down, this is the best song ever about the art of songwriting. It belongs in a textbook. Brilliant! I saw Iris perform last night but unfortunately she didn't have time to include this. Her voice has not lost an ounce of its charm and emotion.

Phil on accordion is just superb!

Beautiful song, Iris. Thanks for the music.

Truth...so rare these days. Thank you.

Dolce IRIS melodia per il mio cuore. "2023"❤

Cannot get any better, so beautiful x❤

Yes I remember these sessions beautifull

it doesn't get better than this!

Great singing, such well crafted lyrics! Love the musicians that did the backing. Iris's songs travel straight to the heart! I like that! ❤❤❤❤❤

Vous chantez merveilleusement très bien🙏❤️👍👏
