Classic medieval America

I think this song captures the spirit of rural America perfectly. I picture a quaint mountain town nestled in the heart of Appalachia during Fall whenever I hear this...

This screams frontier town-like atmosphere. “Mornin Pastor Tom” “Mornin Ms. Parker” “And a good mornin Wilson”

So you see, that's where the trouble began. That smile. That damned smile.

As a Tennessean, this is like a taste of home. It reminds me of hot summer days sat on my porch learning to play guitar.

I’m glad they didn’t go for the generic national anthem and went for something that better encapsulates American spirit

It is the duty of every American to help each other, not out of any obligation from the state, but from one’s own conscience and compassion for his fellow man.

So, apparently this is supposed to be a classic American folk tune and this game is the first place I heard it. Makes me really disappointed how little of my own culture I'm taught.

This is some hella sweet bluegrass. The instrumentation is pure American bluegrass, seriously, it’s just good. I fall asleep to this.

This sounds like the shire theme if Middle Earth was in Missouri

The most American song in the game Sincerely, a Canadian

Let us pause in life's pleasures and count its many tears, While we all sup sorrow with the poor; There's a song that will linger forever in our ears; Oh! Hard times come again no more. 'Tis the song, the sigh of the weary, Hard Times, hard times, come again no more. Many days you have lingered around my cabin door; Oh! Hard times come again no more. While we seek mirth and beauty and music light and gay, There are frail forms fainting at the door; Though their voices are silent, their pleading looks will say Oh! Hard times come again no more. 'Tis the song, the sigh of the weary, Hard Times, hard times, come again no more. Many days you have lingered around my cabin door; Oh! Hard times come again no more. There's a pale drooping maiden who toils her life away, With a worn heart whose better days are o'er: Though her voice would be merry, 'tis sighing all the day, Oh! Hard times come again no more. 'Tis the song, the sigh of the weary, Hard Times, hard times, come again no more. Many days you have lingered around my cabin door; Oh! Hard times come again no more.

Many times I have put this song on, pulled up Google earth and gone to arches national park and the Grand Canyon and just enjoyed imagining I was there. No song captures the old America quite like this one, that’s for sure…

They really did this song right. I'm a brit, and I've never played civ 6 but I really think they've done justice to Americans with this song

I feel like I want to go get some corn in my family farm for a feast after hearing this song.

Imagine a world where the United States of America existed in the middle ages, where pioneer yeomen ran the farmland and pastures in the countryside, while merchants gathered at the marketplace in free cities. Cataphracts and pikemen guard the White Palace and the Capitol, while naval fleets patrol the Grand Mississippi Canal. A republic akin to the Holy Roman Empire and Venice combined, what a sight to behold.

I remember sitting through the Medieval era researching cartography, unable to get off my home continent, struggling to survive, having to defeat barbarian outposts whenever they appeared to keep from going bankrupt, then it finished, I entered the Renaissance, was able to go into the oceans, and everything changed. The rest of the world never stood a chance!

Hell we're not perfect but I'll always be proud to be an American

This is one of my favorite pieces from the soundtrack for sure. I think it's partly nostalgic for me because my dad played in a bluegrass band when I was growing up so I think this style of music just kinda takes me back.

The Virginia yoeman with his longbow on his wall if the crown should call him up for service. The cowboy with his light Mongol style bow and saber watching over his herds by night. Every year driving his stock to the towns along the Mississippi river system for sale. The merchants plying up and down the Mississippi, Missouri, Ohio and Delaware rivers in great gallyes for cotton, lumber, livestock and grain. The isolated monistries in the Sierra Nevadas and the Appalachians with monks making their sweetly solemn latin chants. The heavily armored marines with pole axes and longswords gaurding the elected monarch and the assembly of the countless barrons, dukes, lords and magistrates from counties and duchies and free cities across the country. The uneasy peace that followed the crusades against the heathen Mayan city states. The exotic fascination of the gentry with everything Mesoamerican, mirroring Western European ideas of "orientalism". The Marco Polo equivalent that served in the court of an Inca emperor and swears he saw giants, dragons and men with wings and seven heads in South America. The maps with monopodes and dog headed men, giants and the kingdom of prester John in the Amazon basin. The gothic cathedrals of Boston, Philidelphia and New York. The countless inns and pubs with songs ringing out and the smell of ale and cider reaching to the street outside. The old story of a group of heretics that escaped the sword and fled into the desert never to be seen again, led by one Joseph, the son of a smith. The churches compromise on African slavery, that allowed for Africans to be imported, so long as they where promoted from slaves to "free" serfs upon arrival. The sagas and chronicles of the first settlements in North America by the Norse in the 10th century ad, 3 and a half centuries before the imagined present.

such peaceful song

1x speed for relaxing midwestern morning 2x speed for lighthearded hoedown

This is where the American dreams grows

teddy roosevelt the original badass! bully for you mister president

Best song in the game... actually best progression through the eras too. So well arranged to. Love it.

technically america was in an accelerated timeline, colonial america is 'ancient era' and pre 1812 america was 'medieval'

I can still hear builders grunting and building farms

this song could be in a ken burns documentary

"Speak'th softly and bear a large sword"

absolute goosebump of a song! what beautifully crafted piece of music and i'm from the SEA region

One of the first songs I learned to play on the banjo! Awesome!

This song wants to make me work harder and chase my dream to start a business I don't want to be rich just want to be able to buy a nice quaint house up north in a small town find me a good woman and live comfortably till the end of my days. Get a dog and just relax I may have been a dumbass in HS, but I think I've done a good job proving those who doubted me wrong. I just turned 21 got a job that pays $18 /hr and I have a good rep at work, I work hard, make connections, dress well etc. But I want more out of life, I'm going to start studying on how to grow and start a business and with luck try to get into college

By far, my favorite track in Civ 6, with the Medieval version of "Waltzing Matilda" coming close second.

Heard someone play this irl and I thought I was tripping

Even though playing as America wasn't even my first game, this brings me back to when I first played Civ 6, clicking on the tutorial. It has a nostalgic feel to it

I can 100% imagine this playing from no particular source while passing through and old western town in the 1800's on horseback towards Oregon

Properly starts at 1:05 ! Love this tune :D

I'm not very patriotic, but this song gave me a burst of nationalism and a taste of grain in my mouth.

Very ironic to hear this in quaratine

sounds like lord of the rings at times

I like to play this in my engineer games in TF2. Kinda mellows it a bit when you have to deal with a spy and an uber at the same time.

My favourite tune in the game. Chilled bluegrass at its finest. Sincerely, a Brit.

Every time this song plays: *Wagon Trains Intensify*

Country Roads, Take me home... oh wait wrong song

A new 4th of July. We will stay strong. Even in these times of uncertainty

The landscapes of Colorado, the Dakotas, and Montana I can imagine

As a Coloradan, this one hits close to home to me. It encapsulates the energy of the pioneer; the hard-working, self-made, toiling people who came across the globe to America to build her into what she is now, whether that be for better or for worse.

Sounds like something from the OST of "O Brother, Where Art Thou?"

A bit too light-hearted but relaxing nonetheless when I go hunting or finding mysteries in RDR2.

I still don't understand why but as an American the second I heard this song in game it just felt familiar even though I know I never heard it before

And the melody of the music in the song is like Borneo, Indonesia Tradisional Music we called Sape

Ah yes medieval America, also known as rural America

So, which one that more medieval america? A US Marine with steel plate armor and a lance riding a horse, or a cowboy with a sword while riding a horse?

what song is this modeled after?

That's really 💯

i grew up in suburban atlanta and this song reminds me of the peach orchards

Good ol' murica.

This strangely reminds me of the map music of Far Cry 5

America's theme circa 1820 - 1885

Congratulations

God this song is so pretty. I'm glad this is the song they went for. As an American, I wouldn't want anything else to represent my country.

1. Thous't may say whatever thine wishes, and King may'st not favor one faith.. 2. Thous't may utilize thou's blade, and King may not confiscate thou's blade. 3. Mine knights must'st not take quarters in thine's homes. 4. Lawmen may'st not search thou, unless'st they have a proper'st reason. 5. The Royal Court must'st provide a fair, even'st trial, even if thou'st is truly heretical.

Hard times, come again no more!

This version sounds like played in the Southern States.

I fucking love America.

The spirit of america.

*walks softly*

日本語の翻訳 (間違いをすみません、日本語は母語じゃない) 生活に休止して多い涙を数えろう、 ながら貧民と悲しみを共にする。 この歌は心に続いている。 「ああ、苦労、もう来ないで。」 この歌、の疲れる人たちのため息、 「苦労、苦労、もう来ないで。」 何日もキャビンドアに止まった。 「ああ、苦労、もう来ないで。」 幸せと美的と軽い音楽を探している、 ながらドアに、弱い影を弱り切る。 声が静かのに、頼む顔は言う、 「ああ、苦労、もう来ないで。」 この歌、の疲れる人たちのため息、 「苦労、苦労、もう来ないで。」 何日もキャビンドアに止まった。 「ああ、苦労、もう来ないで。」

This song is too fitting for this current crisis.

I listened it first time because, Petr the great just couldn't shut up

Blue grass blue grass is all i hear And my grandma

It's good music for if your doing some chores.

Good jam. I believe it is a take on the Creedence Clearwater Revival song “Lookin’ Out My Back Door”.

Love listening to this while farming in Minecraft

*Welcome to the United States of America. If you conduct yourself well, you can consider us friends!*

Parts of the American theme are like a mish-mash of "Auld Lang Syne" and "The Rising of the Moon" Now, I don't mind, I love those songs... just kinda weird.

"Medieval" theme lol, am not so sure about the naming but oh well we get what we can for gameplay purposes.

It's difficult to imagine what the Middle Ages would look like in America

Rip Rick may

The top of Teddy's head is so small compared to his jaw.

all hail king Roosevelt II

Sounds like a track from Mojave Music Radio from Fallout NV.

I close my eyes, and See the vandering pilgrims

Far cry 5 brought me here

It seems down by the sally garden is actually a Irish folk song

this is an old american folk song. the longest johns have a great version with the lyrics

This sounds very civil war era esque

Dude I'm glad they fucking fixed mah boy teddy's face

Aha~ Missouri Memories~

Civ VI seems like Civilization: The B List Leaders. And I find it kind of refreshing. Nice to have a change from Caesar, Lincoln, and Napoleon.

Ah yes, american knights

Is this the Farcry 5 Theme Song?

Supposed to be medieval themed but still just sounds southern back woods music with any string instrument.

When the king demands a feast of hamburgers, freedom fries & goblets filled with coca cola.

Medieval America... wat

Proper version: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bJ51nZef077In40.html

I sometimes choose to play aa the US just to hear this song

Sounds like what a cowboy would play in the 1800's

who else is binging medieval themes in alphabetical order?

Sounds a bit like Rising of the moon.
