Something about his voice is incredible… absolutely effortless, doesn’t try too hard and they don’t have the same philosophy that a lot of other bands do of “the higher and louder, the better” i love you guys

I will continually come back to this song. The musicianship, the lyrics, the vibe - it all creates a magical and comforting feeling that you cannot shake off.

the amount of musicianship in this video is mind-boggling! And they make it look so effortless.

"Freedom was a simple word so reverent and true A long time ago, it meant the right to choose Who you love and how to live, now it's so misused Twisted by the politics of men in gospel shoes" Sadly, so relevant these days

I literally just found this group, by the grace of God- because man did I need this. I love their sound.

Wow.. Ended up in this place by misstake.. But sometimes life gives you nuggets of pure joy like listening to this.. Soo smooth and warm ( no better way to describe the musical perfectioni just listened to).

This is still my favorite live version of any song I’ve ever heard. God bless WatchHouse AKA Mandolin Orange ♥️😘

There's something very special about the music these two people make. Love listening to you.

I am old enough to die but will hang on until I see Mandolin Orange live

I arrived here by mistake but I think this is the best folk & country music I've heard in years.

Now...this is MIGHTY FINE! Thanks, Mandolin Orange!

I swear this is one of the best bands ever!

What a great discovery when we were at this Pickathon and these folks began to play and sing. They are the best and I feel so lucky to have been there

Of all the many wonderful songs, that's the one that brought MO into my life. God bless Gospel Shoes!

This song is so beautiful it brings a tear to my eye, what an ensemble of talented musicians. Keepin’ our grassroots music alive! A mighty fine mission :)

This song is the most beautiful song I have ever heard

What a way to start a Sunday morning...just discovered these two...pure magic! Musically - on point! Folk, Bluegrass with a social message that is relevant...fantastic harmonies...sign me up Mandolin Orange!

don't even know how to say how good these guys are......let's see them on the awards show

Amazing pair. Their gold shines deep from within.

OK, that does it, you are now my favorite musicians!

Greaaaaaat music, great musicians, this is what I needed during these hard time. Bless you all and thank you all to have enriched my life with your superb sound

I'm blown away at how far technology has come that such warmth can come through an outside recording. The fiddle...

Their harmony never ceases to amaze me.

Wow. Great song, great lyrics. Sounded like it must be an old classic that had passed me by so went off looking to see who wrote the original. And guess what? THIS is the original. Great songwriting perfectly delivered. A joy.

Delightful - many thanks - a beautifully uplifting performance.

Oh heck yeah, great live version of this song.

Y’all speak to my heart.

Wow and wow and just to make sure I express myself clearly, wow! :-)

This is amazing! They are all good but the mandolin playing and his ”antihero” voice is just what I needed

Awesome!Love this band!!Come to New Zealand!

Profound lyrics exquisitely played and sung

Yet another superb performance. Music at its best.

The outtro was exquisite. Just perfect. Would have loved to have been there for that

Such awesome Truth! God Bless Y’all!

"Freedom was a simple word so reverent and true A long time ago, it meant the right to choose Who you love and how to live, now it's so misused Twisted by the politics of men in gospel shoes"

Nice job as always. God bless mandolin orange and all from Patrick

Fantastic, Real music that touches the soul.

Some set their heads to swimming, nothing to lose Drift about their good times, slivers in their boots Some walk the straight and narrow, only passing through Trading this world over for a pair of gospel shoes Gospel shoes are laced with shackles and chains Fitted for the poor runners of the race Now every hand is folded shape of a gun Target's ever changing but the war it rages on So the armies march onward for the mother and the son As this world of screaming color is bleached in the blood Freedom was a simple word so reverent and true A long time ago, it meant the right to choose Who you love and how to live, now it's so misused Twisted by the politics of men in gospel shoes So the armies march onward for the mother and the son As this world of screaming color is bleached in the blood Our mother she is crying, her broken heart is blue 'Cause we're too busy dying to love this life we lose She's growing weary of the lying She's tired of all this fighting in the name of gospel shoes

Thoughtful and beautiful.

You know what’s crazy to me is how people give videos the thumbs down. Like why even hit it? Not to mention that this song was executed flawlessly.

Great stuff here, great to see all these great new bluegrass bands that have sprung up in the last 20 years and brought the genre back to life.

wow y'all really are excellent! Thank you for your art!

Love Love Love!!!!

Y'all are awesome!

I’ve been listening to this video for years. Still about the best thing i’ve seen on KZfaq. But Watchhouse? Mandolin Orange was a way better name.

That was great! Thank you.

What a fantastic performance - harmonious . ... quality music.

Play it with C positions capo 4 . Josh harmony is very understated. OUTSTANDING

Love this couple. Lesson for years. Tire grass.

"Tradin' this world over, for a pair of Gospel Shoes!"

I love your music, it's great!!😎

Just beautiful music - you would have to be a very sad person to dislike this.

love this song

killer fiddle playing

Je vous écoute tous les jours... in Belgium :-)

I’m really enjoying this band and all their videos. Now to find where they are playing and make a road trip.

3:05 is great when the camera guy gets sucked in and starts groovin with the band

Amazing! !!!!

Great video ya'll!

Nice pickin mandolin guy, It's also nice to see you using a not fancy (A4) style mando. Keep rocking.

Great dynamics

Great stuff!

Please come play Ireland

This video makes me happy :-)

Beautiful song. You really get a sense here of the pleasure that comes with playing beautiful music with other musicians

Bravo! Very nice and enjoy! Bonjour de France!

It doesn't get much better than this !!! ( maybe " The Train Song " )

Love it why don,t we here more of this on British radio Cooperman corringham

damn this is fire, amazing job

That's wonderful music and a beautiful song I don't like country music but I do love gospel

Thank you for that. Greetings from Brasil.

Y'all might be my new heroes!

Superb joy and beauty

Nice job guys

Well that was beautiful. .. ... ..... I'm in

These folks are good

You mean the most to me, when I need it the most. Love you.

Great music

Josh Oliver plays the hell out of that Taylor C

It's hard to believe anyone dislikes like Mandolin Orange or the song. I think Emily and Andrew are great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes

Daily fix of Mandolin Orange, no other has got me so fixed, just mega.

From Denmark 🌹🌹🌹🌹Love your music

Together they are a winning combination, like CSNY

Awesome ! Great musicianship , thank you for sharing !😊👍👍 Who is the awesome bass player ? Cheers !

If you disliked this then you clearly arrived here by mistake.

as sad as I was when everybody fields broke up, I am that happy that you guys adopted Josh ;)

The perfect girl doesn’t exi- But seriously, they’ve been on heavy rotation since I discovered them via a well timed recommended’s tab

These guys seriously sound better live than on the album

Natalie Dormer crushing it on the violen

Wow, Emily is such a beautiful lady.

Where can I buy this live version? It's got magic and I like it much more than the one recorded on the studio. Thanks

Some wierd flaw in human character makes wars. All these talented musicians, how many are trying to do somethin' about it? Good to see a few!

The Family on Netflix reminds me of this song

It took me so long to figure out that their name was a play on "mandarin orange"...

I would love to find uke chords for this song.

YT thought I might like this. Ah, YT, you know me so well.

The tone out of that 6 string capoed up to play in E? fabulous - too bad the player is cut off - wish there was better camera work to honor each musician.
