the pre ww1 era seems so nice, up there with the 50s as one of America's best eras, artistically, culturally, advanced yet simple technologically, the era of songs like this and of worlds fairs, early movies and such and so on, sounds like such a nice time to be alive in the United States, the oldest still living people in the United States were born in 1907, those of them with some form of intact memory would be some of the last that remember this time in our history

Lyrics: The oriole with joy was sweetly singing The little brook was babbling it's tune The village bells at noon were gaily ringing The world seem'd brighter than a harvest moon For there within my arms I gently pressed you And blushing red, you slowly turned away I can't forget the way I once caressed you I only pray we'll meet another day In the shade of the old apple tree Where the love in your eyes I could see When the voice that I heard, like the song of the bird Seem'd to whisper sweet music to me I could hear the dull buzz of the bee In the blossoms as you said to me With a heart that is true, I'll be waiting for you In the shade of the old apple tree In the shade of the old apple tree Where the love in your eyes I could see When the voice that I heard, like the song of the bird Seem'd to whisper sweet music to me I could hear the dull buzz of the bee In the blossoms as you said to me With a heart that is true, I'll be waiting for you In the shade of the old apple tree

However, until they invent a time machine I'll just have to make do with listening to music like this on KZfaq and watching Boardwalk Empire etc. Lol

This is almost haunting, in a way. Popular music was so different - lacking in bass, a supporting band somewhat like a small orchestra, and a sort of "flowery" audio aesthetic, if that makes sense to anyone else. The cover artwork has a quaint style, as well. I get the impression that many singers of the time, including Mr. Burr, put on some sort of European accent while recording. What is truly haunting, though, is the fact that Henry Burr, Harry Williams, Egbert Van Alstyne, every instrumentalist involved in this song, as well as every other musician and absolutely everybody from this period has grown old and died by now. In a sense, music is from a whole other world. How poetic. EDIT: By coincidence, I just so happened to learn what was that "European accent" I mentioned! The singing style is "bel canto", and it is of Italian origin.

@tommyl.dayandtherunaways820 8 ай бұрын

The cover artwork was designed to go with sheet music, I believe. That’s something you’d never see anymore but it was common back then for pop songs because most people had a piano at home and not everyone could afford a record player. Another interesting thing about pop music from this era is that even with the rise of ragtime, there were a lot of songs in 3/4. When you think about some of the biggest hits of the day: “Come Josephine in my Flying Machine”, “In My Merry Oldsmobile”, “Let Me Call You Sweetheart”, they’re all waltzes. No doubt written by people who grew up with and deeply admired the waltz composers of the 1800s. The first few years of the 1900s were an interesting bridge between the Romantic and modern eras.

Since I can remember my Dad sang In the shade of the old apple tree Sat two Irishmen as drunk as could Said Mike to his friend There’s a fly in the end Of my nose won’t you slap it for me Now mikes friend was an accommodating old chap And he picked up the ax and kerwap The fly flew in the air And they buried Mike there In the shade of the old apple tree. I’m 69 now and cannot believe this has been passed down in our family instead of this lovely song. Kinda makes me feel sad.
