Exactly...I can't even listen to today's "country"..it's weak, lacking hooks, soul, and feeling. John Andersons voice sounds the same as it did back then.

@@dillanversai6717 The new stuff is just pathetic. I'm glad I'm barely old enough to remember the genre during the time when Seminole Wind came out, the bands and songs at that time were SO much better. The music had integrity still.

@@yearginclarke the stuff out today is a representative of how weak and woke Nashville has become...it's sad,,, it sounds like cheap songs that are weak, no hooks, no soul, no energy, and doesn't even sound like country,,it unlistenable..

@@dillanversai6717 Yes, it's a sad state of affairs what Nashville has become.

@@dillanversai6717 “progress came and took its toll”

Sir understand that if u look into the song and u will see ureself because you understand it and apply it to every day life

JonD, I totally understand,I am a FL native and the lyrics of this song have such meaning and depth If your not from FL,still a great song,but if you are you understand the depth,history,and connection!!

31 and it brings a tear. sad to think about the beauty we've destroyed and our ancestors moved from their homes.

39 same with me brothern sitting her in front of my wife 5 kids i got it still time is a pain the opur loprd and savior is life after ndeath brother i didnt read your story but a few words and it was what i felt bnut i am re born in jesus full blooded italian family on rol;er coaster life hard but nwee asll strive i have to save a few but who dosent when u r christan thank you jesus and i have your back poos ill save you

Likewise... Don't know why... I've never been to Florida... It's more than a song about the Everglades.

I think we have listened to so much crap that it makes us appreciate the good stuff more.

I agree. This song would make a great Metallica song.

Praise God

Praise God

Absolutely! True artistry resides in the music, not the theatrics.

WOW!!!!!!....AAAAAAMEN!!

Music is not about worshiping the things of this world or your past drunk cheating life music was made to praise god if it is not praising god then this crap is of the devil and your praising Satan your god and you glory only in the Lord there is nothing you or anybodyelse can do about jesus is God........

@@jesusisgod1631 You've got your opinion & I have mine. We can agree to disagree, this is a great song that should make people stop & think about saving Mother Earth!

@@Mike583 there is no mother earth it is father God this is his world he is in control not a song or a famous person satan is behind people to destroy the earth because the world was made out of gods love and it was made for love but satan came along and causes wars and bombs and earth lives with birth pangs because of these things so there is no mother earth in control this is a god made world and you cant change that or you dont have to except but until you have any documents or paper work or forms of proof then I guess you stand alone with the rest of these unbelievers that Satan has under his control the bible is the straight proof of it all and why it exists no man can go against what the gov. Even proved to be facts not opinions of what the bible and the world is for it is to wake up everyday praising your lord god and savior for all he does for you ...you can't even breath without Jesus allowing you and you think people have been to the moon too Right...hahahahaha ok look at the cameras in the 60s we were watching people live on the moon that's a lie because you cant run a film while it is being recorded live you have to record it then then play the tape there was no live technology then so how are we watching a signal from the moon to the earth look into that too while your at it right now we are satellite live there was no way to play live on the moon thru film it had to be satellite which we didnt have but we have now and they claim they dont have the technology to do it now ooooook. Global warming what the heck ...what about the giants that lives before the flood of noahs ark they hid that to but read the bible it has all the history you want (falling angels left there own abode and became human had sex with women and created giants called nephilim look that up with mother nature too why your at it the bible is the straight truth people dont want to read it because they like living a lie they cant stand being told what to do or the truth it convicts them and proves that everything they stand for it bull crap. Have a good day

WELL PUT

It has always given me goosebumps!! Love him!!

I seen him in 06 in clarksville tennesee at kickers.. i was blown away by his presence. It was unreal as if i was watching a hologram

CC well I never was right... but I feel that chill sure as hell

Makes me jealous, in a good way. I wish I could sound like that.

That song is a PRAYER, and in the original video at the end chant they the personal Name of the ever living Creator, Yahweh.

Lakota man here...living and working in Magdeburg Germany...❤

Brenda Ball I think he actually sounds better. I like the way he sounds now then the original. Don't get me wrong the original is still great.

Sean, I was thinking the same exact thing! Hardly ever hear an artist whose voice as just as crisp, if not better from almost 20 years ago.

Brenda Ball hes good

The old black sheep keeps on swingin.

Stole my thoughts.

As a Florida native the lyrics of this song hit me hard ! I've always loved it, even when I was a rock-n-roller ! I had an aunt who lived in John's hometown of Apopka many years ago, went to visit her there a few times.

Native Floridian here. Song came rushing back to my conscious from my subconscious a few days ago. I feel like something triggered it. We must protect our state at all costs. This land is blessed by the great Spirit. We must take care and nurture our home and help her flourish. Good men and women still here. Tears of joy and great fullness pouring down my face. Thank you God. ForeverGlades ✌️

It's a shame how GREED has taken over everything

Thomas Epps kid going to have a good story to tell one day

I agree

The ONLY kid in the diner that day

Hopefully the story he tells will be understood...the younger generations might not even know who John Anderson was, sad as that is.

Best part about younger generations, is they have to eventually grow up. Music like this takes wisdom to appreciate.

well said

He never got the credit he deserved

@@jasonmiller4814 right.

He falls in line with Tracy Lawrence with uniqueness.

John is unique. A really good artist and a great voice. You'll never mistake him for anyone else.

CalGirl20 agreed!

You have got that right young lady!

I agree

100%

Great tune

ALWAYS !!!

Exactly ..amazing voice too

Exactly

This is my favorite Version, think as older he gets better his voice

Great dobro playing.

Under appropriated ? Where a legend right there

Gotta checkout Jerry Douglas. Pinnacle dobro talent.

When you see one of your favorite KZfaqrs reply on a video, but haven't released any content over a month.......

Haha, yes! Love zip ties and bow ties

Where have you been? Been having serious withdrawals!!!!!!

Hahaha my guy zip ties

It's minty ain't it lol

That is quite true. Unfortunately, you pick the brains of those same people who get emotional about the message of this song, many will probably tell you that they want zero environmental regulations to protect said lands. At the same time, you get their tears and emotions. Of course, their little feelings mean nothing if they are not men and women of action. They think it’s a liberal thing to protect our environment. It shouldn’t be left and right. Protecting our habitat should be something we all strive to do.

@@becazapatero2477 you're correct, most of them are that way from being uneducated. Not in the sense of literacy, but in the cause and effect of the things they do.(and think) before the age of information at your fingertips people did what the generations before them Taught them to do. we have more knowledge and science now and know some of the things they didn't. I'm not saying someone's right or wrong I'm just saying we need to continue to learn from our ancestors mistakes and evolve into better people......ALL OF US !!!! :)

I live in Fort Lauderdale where we can’t drain our clean pool water out in the canals without being fined but the city management can dump millions of gallons of raw sewage in the canals and pollute our drinking water with no recourse.

Broward county is strong we got this love is the answer

Lacoss FL is sill got swamp

@@onionhead5780 go back to Ohio or New Jersey.

@@onionhead5780 "clean pool water" into our waterways...

❤❤❤😊😊AWESOME LOVE YOUR MUSIC.

I respect that. I'm a metal head at heart but if it's a good jam I dig it regardless of genre

Been a metal fan since I heard Master of Puppets as a 12 year old in 96', and also like the more extreme Death metal stuff as well, like Death, Obituary, Cannibal, etc. In fact the only concerts I've been to were Death metal concerts. But I love this type of music just as much, for the exact opposite reasons. Don't get me wrong, I like the violence and anger of thrash/death metal. But I was raised in the country, and still work and live there too (i'm a logger) I like the relaxed heartfelt beat of this type of music, it just soothes the soul IMO.

Listen to the studio recording. It's even better

Fuck yeah, Most metal heads appreciate real music. I noticed that early on in Lansing. The metal guys used to get wild when my band played classic rock and country. Like.. I couldn't believe how much they dig it.

Real Music Dennis ...... Death Metal is just "noise done real fast" .... I mean you guys are super talented and know your licks , but songs like Seminole Wind and Edmond Fitzgerald are real music with powerful storylines .... Just because someone is "fast and furious" does NOT mean they are a "musician" .... THIS is "music"
