I know. I’ve been listening for several weeks now. It hits just right in so many ways. Gah! So delicious and such wild commentary.

Same....

There's no help! I heard their cover of Boots of Spanish Leather and have been in love ever since. Pretty sure I've had to listen to everything they've ever done now. All the live performances on YT, all the albums. Just spectacular music, amazing onstage chemistry, beautiful lyrics. Good luck!

Same

Yup!

the moments in life that really matter right there im glad you got to enjoy that moment and you can think of it every time you hear the song even when shes older that is beautiful

Funny enough, I have a newborn and this on the short list for getting her to sleep. Just rocking away and crooning (badly), much as I want to see the adult shell become I know I'll miss these days.

@@echo4kw ha! I play this when I put my son to sleep. Magic.

First line is "brave men fall' not fought.

Also a missing chorus between verses 3 and 4.

Craziest story ever… Your story is the exact situation II was/am in only I own my own pool business and I’m on an island 3700 miles from anywhere. So many of their songs are seemingly the soundtrack to my life and my heart. If your still doing pools and looking for something to do there are worse places to be. Hotlanta ain’t bad but this is the %1 of the %1.

love you man, no, it's not your fault, keep/stay paying attention, you are not alone, and yes, we support you 100%

@@Big_Blue_Eyeland shoot man you work on Malta or something? I’d like to leave ATL ASAP and have plenty of experience in pools lmao

Lol, I can comment BLACK POWER! But not the inverse. Kinda says a lot, without having to really say it.

Right with you, brother.

All they had to do was let em go, but nah

All wars are bankers wars.

My ancestors too,ironically an abolistionist.

This song is actually incredible I listen to it all the time because the sound is rare…it’s that good…but the South weren’t brave they were racist fucks and they got their asses kicked as they deserved. When I see the confederate flag now I laugh because how pathetic these clowns are that still represent hate..they’re no longer relevant…No one respects the losers of the South that lost the civil war…thank God they lost.

i did not steal this idea but i just heard this song for the first time and my first thought was you could add a verse for The Now.

I agree.

Sorry to hear, sure it was beautiful.

My condolences. May your friend Rest In Peace.

My favorite song in the whole world right now

JACK DOLAH why thank you. RHEC

We might talk slow, drink sweet tea, kiss our sisters, love NASCAR, and have horrible education systems but we is are smrt!

Jason Smelski As an individual who knows multiple Professors, studies American History, and specifically the Civil War. Along with other subjects like Political Science, economics, psychology, and sociology. I like the melody but it brings the wrong message and the lyrics aren’t correct in regards to history. Saying pride goes over history. Well there was a reason, and is a reason people can have pride, there is nothing wrong with that. It wasn’t of oppression or hatred regarding the topic of slavery. I’m not a hateful person and neither were the Veterans that you’d talk too in the early 20th Century. Neither are a great deal of individuals who understand. There’s a great book on Nathaniel Bedford Forrest and the KKK. Also the LOC that gives facts why the south really went to war, which wasn’t Slavery. I’ve also read thousands and thousands of letters. You’d be surprised In the context Union Soldiers talked of blacks just as you would Confederate soldiers. Reasons of why people enlisted. Plus people don’t fully understand slavery in our own country let alone internationally, like England for example. What was going on in 1860 and the 20 years prior. Definitely not worth getting in a negative debate but as someone who wants to preserve history as a professor, writer, for “what actually happened”, versus memory “what we think happened and how we perceive it” I notice a great deal of this. It doesn’t help with the media either confusing the situation even further. Gary Gallagher and Professor Tom Clemens say the same thing. Keep an open mind, look towards the facts and information. Check out my Instagram if interested in knowing first hand knowledge on the Civil War. Issiah Bernaiche, thank you! Peace and love.

Buck Buchanan every damn thing

Well thank you very much Sir! Greetings from South Carolina!

. You took the words right out of my mouth ...I couldn't agree more... It does put us in a bad place at times... And just think about the whole country being at war... Sometimes brother against brother....If its difficult for us just think what they went through...I cant imagine...

It is hard to apologize for something you haven't done. At the same time time it is hard to understand how someone can't step into the shoes of another person and perceive their hardships for what they blatantly are. Hate is a scary thing.

Amazing, I just... don't know how to agree with you more here.

Right

mr. ALLcaps the fuck you on about? Please 🤚🏽

Tyler Jones !

Look out guys, Kyle over here thinks he holds the moral high ground. Meanwhile, his compatriots burn and loot every major city across the country, resulting in the deaths of 30+ innocent Americans. You people have concocted this myth that those you disagree with are Nazis or bigots... but it's YOU that suppresses the speech of others and constantly classifies people by their skin color and race. America isn't impressed, Kyle. You aught to look in the mirror my friend.

The irony of your reply I fear may be beyond the grasp of your understanding. It's a song about a your Country, destroying itself from within. How it tore at the seams, from hatred that spread like wildfire. I merely found resemblance to the current moment in time. You created a narrative in your mind about who I am and somehow my affiliation with the group you think I belong to. The group you seem to define as the "other". Truth is I hold no quarter within your Country yet it saddens me to watch it consume itself with so much hate and divisiveness. I wish you well, I wish you and the people you care about well. I'm not your enemy, I'm likely a friend you will never meet.

@@ffbeaumonster No, if you listen closely, it is a song that claims there is some evil force in this country that started with slavery and was never stamped out after the civil war. It is just another attempt of mainstream culture to villainize half of the country.I am neither a Republican nor a Democrat. But I am sick of watching the left demonize the right. As an independent bystander, I have the ability to view the situation somewhat objectively. It is the left in this country that is tearing everything apart. They are the reason we are "caught in a wildfire". Mandolin Orange is openly anti-conservative, Trust me, I've been to one of their concerts. Listen to the way this song makes a blanket demonization of "the south". That doesn't seem very constructive now, does it? If you can't see what the true purpose of this song was (to scold half the country), then you are wearing a blindfold. You cannot sit around a campfire and hold hands and have unity when one side is burning the country to the ground. Sorry, not even all of the hippy energy in the world could make that work.

only to repeat in 60 yrs funny how we have so many reminders in society as if they work

"Its OK to be a terrorist if you're not white or not right" You're a joke

truth

Whats happening in America?

Amen

Yeah it’s not like he pointed his gun at the head of a pregnant woman. George Floyd was a bad person, I’d say Trump is a bad person and in general the entire political class is full of bad people. We need a new generation of heroes.

@@nathanverster3301 take that trash somewhere else, you totally missed the whole point of the song and comment.

I found them on Tiny Desk too!

time I hear it...sorry about the flubs

The wildfire you see on the news and social media looks insurmountable, what about the one within and physically around you? Is it even warm?

Peaceful racial separation IS our only solution

Y2Chris I would call this more bluegrass than country. I'm not a huge country fan either but I love some bluegrass

The Civil War was started with no intention at all of either side ending slavery.

this isnt fricken country god dammit its bluegrass and folk

Y2Chris---in a traditional sense---this music is "country" but in today's standards--it really falls more into the genre of "Americana/American Roots Music" with their style coming more from the bluegrass style. It is great that there are those of the up and coming generations who are going back in time a bit to take the best of what the past music---REAL MUSIC--has to offer and then take it to put a more modern, 21st Century spin to it and groups like Mandolin Orange are doing that! Thank goodness that some people want to make music that is REAL, has a connection to the past and honors that, but makes it fresh and relevant, with such music being done not to just sell more records and other things-but because music in and of itself-----that speaks to more than just superficial things----has value and meaning. This song and the other things that this young couple have already done musically and I hope they continue doing so----will be music that people can come back to in 50 to 100 years and more and find it still stands the test of time-----that is was music "meant to last" and not just be a hit for the next 30 seconds, then move on to make the next great hit and so on----most modern pop music of all sorts seems to have lost that quality--it is mostly "throw away music"

its bluegrass not country I'd like to say

Yeah God hates your state. It’s full of degenerates.
