i was partying around a campfire last summer with my uncles. we were all drunk and being merry. then one of my uncles put on this song, and we all got silent and just listened. No one said a word for the whole song. it is the best memory we have of that night
0p
Yup
No wonder call got speechless!!! Awesome song. Thank God there are people like us
@@kathleenmatschner8117 don't change, Kathleen.....
Anybody still listening in 2023 ? This guy is a legend!
Best song ever written. He’s a genius.
Absolutely!
Listening for the first time , right here in Minot North Dakota …. Awesome song
I’m listening in Jul2024. Trump just got shot in my hometown. I love this song.
Still listening.... and trying to play.
Got into Chris by mistake on UA-cam. Best error ever.
42bexley same here! Love his style.
Just keep on keeping on, Brother! That's ALL WE can do...
Same here. Many thanks to the Yahoo search algorithm!
Fuckin' A. This song never fails to make me sad for a woman I never met
i realize I'm kind of randomly asking but do anybody know of a good website to watch newly released movies online?
I believe the only reason Chris isn’t a household name in country is because he refused to play the music industry game. He doesn’t seem like a guy who will compromise on anything, which is why he is who he is.
we need more of this attitude. now more than ever. people who are willing to do things RIGHT. no more bullshit.
For sure. This is my favorite, my #1 country music guy. He won't compromise for anyone. That's a real country boy. It's ashamed we don't have more artist like him. They could shut down main stream. But of course it's hard to fill those shoes.
His music is true.
That mandolin is a beautiful sound.
Omg yes
Hauntingly beautiful
amazing
A master songwriter. He paints a picture right before your eyes....but uses your ears to do it. He is my hero.
I'll never understand why this guy wasn't huge. What a great songwriter...The Real Deal.
Agreed. Real is the key word. He's one of the best, and THE best in my opinion of mainly undiscovered Americana writers.
Couldn't agree more. I've been lucky enough to see him a few times live in Austin. Small venues, one was like 20 people! It rocked. The reality is country music is defined by the garbage they play on your local FM dial.
I had seen a few of his videos...never heard him on the radio. Saw him once in a small dive bar in Nashville playing to about a dozen people tops all sitting with our mouths hanging open in awe. He made me wanna go home and burn my guitar and every song I ever wrote.
Even the real deal has to pay the bills and eat. If you make music for a living, you can't just give it away. Make sure to buy a CD and attend a show. The only way to keep real music alive is to feed it.
Because the people who claim to be "country" think Luke Bryan and Jason Alden are gods
So refreshing to hear a excellent singer who isnt autotuned and plays good country music not pop music
It's a shame Chris Knights music is unknown and not mainstream, he is a great singer, songwriter, but that's not what plays nowadays, Rest In Peace country music!! All that comes out of Nashville is a bunch of half ass pop star wannabes, they should be ashamed!!!
This is truly one of the most haunting love songs I've ever heard. To me, you can feel the pain he is feeling at her loss in every syllable sung. Chris is a true talent and wonderful to hear. (As I too have worn out most songs--thing this one went first!)
Best artist ever, hands down. It's ashame he isn't in the radio but I understand why. I'm grateful for artist like him. Hell yeah. Taking a shot for you chris.
Agreed
I think this stripped, accoustic version is better than the album version.
I agree---I tend to prefer him doing his songs purely acoustic--maybe just one or two other players backing him up like the dude playing the mandolin n the video. But then again--see him with a full electric back up band---like I did one time at the Taft Theater down in the basement ball room-----he can totally rock out and kick ass!! I do prefer this acoustic version over the studio one on the album. I also like House and 90 acres done acoustic too.
Defiantly in my opinion. I love the straight acoustic way better than the album stuff though. Just a person and and instruments, you know real music and talent...
Agree
Usually is
100%, makes the story that much more intimate and heartbreaking
Mr. Knight is a master of that rare art form where people use songs to tell a story. This one and "Down the River" in particular just send chills throughout my body for the authenticity and beauty in them. Been a fan for about 15 years and it has never been dull. Thank you for doing what you do and keep the stuff coming!
I hear that.
Who could give this a thumbs down??? They must have Kenny Chesney on an iphone
Or they are 10 years old.
Or Florida Georgia Line
Lol... Right... I lived in Nashville for 13 years grew up in Memphis Nashville is b*******
I love the sound guys, I cried when I listened to this at my daughters grave.
god bless you
💙
Where does he come up with these stories!?!? A master story teller and blue collar hero to all of us from this area!! I have my dad to thank for introducing me to Chris Knight and we both still love his music 13 years later!!
My like is number 14.
If you don't like this, you just don't appreciate true talent.
Found this because of Austin Lunn (Panopticon) and his cover. I love both versions! Such a great song
This song can make you cry.
A song that I don't know how the musician doesn't break out in tears---sure brings tear to my eyes pretty much every time I hear it...
hartsickdisciple,
"This song can make you cry."
And did.
Lyrics:
Been snowin all day when I got home
The fire was out the cabin was cold
And I poured some stale coffee from the pot
The longer I waited the snow got higher
Had to split some wood and build a fire
If she told me she’d be gone I forgot
I’d seen it snow that hard before
I couldn’t see the cabin from the stable door
And that mare she always rode was in the stall
The law couldn’t come till the weather broke
My heart was poundin in my throat
And I searched and called her name till it was raw
I never should have brought her here
Livin’s rough this time of year
Tryin to keep food and fire till winters done
Sometimes she'd gaze across the plains
With a look that I couldn’t name
And I’d wonder if she'd stay till springtime comes
I found her on the first warm day
The rain had washed the snow away
Gone for wood and lost her way back home
And I ain’t the kind believes in ghosts
But some nights I get pretty close
When the North Dakota winter moans
When the North Dakota winter moans
Thank you for posting the lyrics. What a great song
As a lifelong North Dakotan, this song is perfect on a harsh winter night, blizzard or just plain cold. It's not winter, but it's storming out there right now.
Excellent song. It captures the brutality of the cold in North Dakota at times. Our grandparents and great-grandparents were hearty stock. There is no place more beautiful in the spring, summer and fall but winter is something else.
Not much compares to ND except maybe MN. I'm in OH and I say the same about here....to a degree!
B W Neuberger So true. Never experienced better Summers and springs. Awesome musician
B W Neuberger this New Mexico native did two tours of winter in ND. Not for sissies. Then when it melts! I had 2 foot of water in my basement when 6 feet of snow melted in 2 days. I'd never used a sump pump before, but I got educated real fast!
I hate this state but never leave
The North Dakota winters will keep all the ex Californians away😃
"And I ain’t the kind believes in ghosts
But some nights I get pretty close
When the North Dakota winter moans
When the North Dakota winter moans"
Beautiful
As of December 21, 2017 I count 151 people who have no appreciation for quality songwriting and need to get the shit steam-cleaned out of their ears. I'm sorry how can you not appreciate the talent on display here.
He never mentioned fireball whiskey once in this song... How can I get my ol lady to shake her sugar shaker to this stuff!!! The real question is how have I been listing to country music the last 35 years and only heard this dude recently... Go's to show how fake the music industry has become and how programmed they have most of the publics minds.... Example... Lick em like a lollipop was a number one song and this one has never been heard outside of diehard fans of good music searching
Had more good times than bad in north dakota, can't say the same for most places I've lived. Best summer weather ever. If I owned land there I'd probably never left.
Found this by pure accident. Best damn accident I've had in a long time. The mandolin adds somethin I can't quite describe. The pain in his voice makes it seem like the tellin of a true tale. Makes me wanna pull deep on a bottle of Beam. Absolutely a great song!
Chris Knight is a legend
Whoa....I finally found the man to carry John Prine's torch. And that is about as high of praise I can give a singer/songwriter.
Mike OLoughlin he is a great. check out jason isbell. mr prine called him "the best singer/songwriter in 30 years".
Both John Prine and Chris Knights are sons of Kentucky---Knight is from Slaughters....
From Wiki....When he was three years old, he asked for a plastic guitar for Christmas. At 15, he became serious and began teaching himself John Prine songs on his older brother's guitar.[5]
To right.
Thomas Cleveland,
"... began teaching himself John Prine songs ..."
Well that right there explains it, then.
This is one bad ass song, brutal, honest, sad and I'm sure at one time or another... true.
One thing I always notice about Chris is that he goes somewhere else when hes singing his music. The man is one hell of a story teller.
Beautiful song, I'm from Belcourt North Dakota, and the Winters are to be feared here, I had 3 cousins that froze to death, and this song reminds me of them. I love Chris Knights songs.
wow! We got married in Montana and our first child was born in Williston ND. all those memories come rushing back when I heard this song. Damn, what a song!
This guy is a once in a generation singer/songwriter. If you have ever seen him live, you know what I mean. Nobody can touch this guy-
Most legit musician in the last 25 years that never stepped foot in Nashville. Chris is the next Kris. Kristofferson I mean. When you hear talent like Chris and they tell Nashville to pave dirt then you know you have an outlaw son. Best music in my parts anyway. That would be Any Town America, USA. God bless CK.
I was thinking the same damn thing, than I came across ur post
How can anyone dislike this? I saw him open for Robert Earl Keen in Baltimore in 2007. The best concert I ever been too. I had not heard of Chris until then, and bow he is one of my favorite artist of all time.
Closed my eyes and imagined this song. Gave me the chills. Absolutely incredible
Proud to be born and raised in North Dakota and still live here. I love the land. You can feel the power odother nature in the winters. We still have people taken from us by the harsh winters.
Beautifuly harsh and such a true song!
A true story telling musician. The real deal! Give em hell, Chris!!
In Watford city nd snow just got washed away the other day... Made it all winter in a camper with two broken windows. Ice sickles frozen to my nose some mornings. Its a cold you can't describe... BTW I'm from northern Minnesota
Well I'm 5 years late to this comment but I spent 3 years in Watford. Shout out to the City Bar.
Made it three years in a blown out old single wide 30 miles outside williston. nobody knows the life we have led.
@@stvkomer I would love to know your story or get your email. There isn't many folk who know the struggle of the Bakken.
Did a year including 2 winters back in 2013-14 in Tioga. They said it was a mild couple of winters, I'd hate to see a rough winter there but the summer is amazing.
I saw Chris in Newcastle in the North East of England. It was like an Alien had landed. He broke our hearts. I suppose hard cold industrial towns are all the same really. I hope I see him again. I'll be watching.
Chris Knight is every welder I've ever known wrapped up in a song writer. Found him here on u-tube one day and bought his whole catalogue the same day. Been passin the word since. He's comin to Lubbock next week and I wouldn't miss it for shit.
Very beautiful place, I'm an OTR Truck driver and got the opportunity to, it was awesome. Great people on my Journey through there, also. Yall are awesome.
Love this song. Chris's voice is great but the mandolin part touches the soul. I miss north dakota and even miss the cold on a scorching day in oklahoma
Great piece, and accurate. Lived there for 8 years. At 45 below, it is easy to freeze to death in a whiteout. Great state, clean air, great people! Wish I was back.
Only for the young, strong,and smart and the old if you want to die quick and free.
His voice sounds like an old sergeant major I had in the army. He would sing when we were on patrols and when he thought no one was listening. Tough and poignant all in one. The hard-plucking strings go with the mood and the lyrics. And very apropos for the environment today, not just North Dakota, but all the nation, "trying to keep fire and food..." We've all got ghosts, too. Keep on, Mr. Knight
Saw Chris Knight this past Saturday (8/13/22) at the Pine Creek Lodge in Paradise Valley on the Yellowstone River. Incredible venue, incredible artist. A magical evening.
That mandolin really ties this song together. Great stuff!
This song got me hooked and I've never looked back
Simply, one of the best songs i've heard. Incredible songwriter.
For real. This is legit one of the saddest yet most beautiful songs I've ever heard, and I'm well versed in sad songs.
that mare she always rode was in the stall ...... chilling
I just can't get enough of CK. I play most of his songs, just wish I could put that passion in them
It always amazes me how this quality of country/americana music goes unnoticed while the country charts are filled with the same pop country anthems that all sound alike. Nashville should be embarrassed.
You should check out the new Nashville radio station 89.5 WMOT Roots Radio for Americana, and they stream!
This is awesome! How did I just discover this song now!? I’m born and raised here in NoDak and never heard this before !! I love it !!
It takes a special kind of storyteller to convey such a deep, emotional message as this. You can feel the raw, emotional sentiment connect deep into your soul. Funny how two instruments and a true vocal inflection can enter your ear, and paint such a vivid landscape.
Comfort food for the soul. I always listen to CK when the world is spinning outta control.
I think this song truly a heart felt song And sounds like it's a true story.Cant get enough of it. THANKS SR.
God Damn this song is amazing!
The master of death and sad songs..he's great
God I love him. His songs always paint such a vivid picture.
I met Chris once. It was an honor, to be sure.
Badass song like down the river too
There is no better storyteller than this guy! He has taken his Prine/Earle/et al, influences and perhaps made something greater than the sum of their parts. I first stumbled onto him via x-country radio on XM (thanks Jessie Scott) which, sadly, was lost due to the XM-Sirius merger. For those who haven't heard much Chris Knight, start with The Trailer Tapes. That's my number one album cut in the last twenty years.
Stumbled upon Chris playing in a bar in Edinburgh. Blew me away!
I now own every album he has released.
A true treasure!
Love this song. He's so flippin' talented. I WILL go down to Texas and see him!
Tamara Heitschmidt me to !
Hes in kentucky not texas
@@JS-yb9if Lot of good music coming out of Kentucky these days.
Been listening to Chris since I first heard him on the Mountain Stage radio broadcast over five years ago. I had not purchased a CD in years at that point but the very next day I ran out on my lunch break and bought a copy of Enough Rope.
the man has no bad songs totaly amazing
Sometimes she'd gaze across the plain, with a look that I couldn't name.
I ain’t the kind to believe in ghosts, but some nights I get pretty close.
@@SusieNationWhen the North Dakota winter moans . . . . when the North Dakota winter moans .
This is my favorite version.
This is Brilliant!
He's quickly become one of my favorite artists. I'm thinking of driving into Texas to see a show of his in the near future.
It's always refreshing to hear music like this. Chris Knight is one of the few musicians in today's music business that not only sounds great on the album, but might actually sound better live. There's none of the pre-packaged, over-produced garbage that floods today's music business. Music from Knight, and a few others like him have helped me through a rough year in my own life. Thanks Chris, keep on producing stuff like this and I'll keep on buying it and spreading the word about it.
I shed a tear....such deep song writing! I felt it!! Should have WAY more views!
Wow!!! my husband showed me this song and im truly grateful because it's truly art in a deep beautiful way.
Panopticon brought me here. What s wonderful song. Thanks
The song that gets me through the day.
Love it. Great storytelling and guitar work!
Why isn't he famous?!?!? Seriously, he's waaayyyyyy more talented than a lot of these so called "musicians" now a days.
hell yeah proud to be from north dakota!
He has always had that knack of putting you in the stories he writes and sings about.
I'm so hooked can't stop listening to his music. My good friend that passed away had " Go on Home" played at his funeral. Never heard of CK before that. I'm trying to learn all his songs
Life is not a destination, it's a journey and Chris can tell his life's journeys than anyone I've listened too. He makes you think it's happened to you and not very musicians can do that. God Bless ya, Chris Knight. May you live forever in the hearts you've touched.
I looked into Chris Knight's Music on a the fact that Tyler Hood admire's Chris's Music. Wow ! What a Musician. Better late to the game than never. Thank you Tyler and thank you Chris ! Your Music is awesome ! Best wishes bringing it bud.
Chris Knight is the greatest secret country. His lyrics are haunting and put you right there!
can't stop playing this.... Chris Knight - unadulterated stone country. breaking hearts and bringing tears to my eyes. great video
Loving this music and style
great version of this song, love all of his stuff but this is one of my favorite Chris Knight songs
Seen him live twice now at Majestic Theatre in Dallas. He just keeps getting better and better the older he gets. Chris really got me into writing songs with being real and clever. In my opinion, he’s the best songwriter to ever put pen to paper. We’re lucky to have real talent like this and are fortunate that Music Fog records such amazing renditions.
My favorite singer/songwriter!!
This man is an unrecognized talent---he has a great songbook. This is one incredible version of this terribly bittersweet song....
Another great song. Hope to see Chris back in East Tennessee soon.
He is just unreal awesome. I long to be the writer that this man is. He is the reason that I've been pounding the pen to the paper for 18 years now. I got to meet him and tell him how much he inspired me as he was the reason that I started writing. He was so humbled by it and encouraged me. That meant alot.
I love Chris Knight. I have for years. I found him in a particularly dark time in my life and he gave me so much comfort and joy. Funny how even just one song can make life worth living. :)
He is huge in my way of thinking. We've seen him all over the country and he just gets better with time. He knows what and where I come from.
Dude, you won't be disappointed! I just saw him in Nebraska and it was the BEST show I've ever seen.
You know its a good song when you can see it play out like a movie in your head. You can "feel" it. Not one for crowds of people but I will go see him if he ever plays near here.
Just saw him in Gruene Texas .....one of the best shows I've ever seen...and I've seen a bunch....deep, soulful and kicked ass! Go see him when ya can....
Chris is one of the most creative writers out there. Saw him in KY. Bought all the merch I could, shook his hand. Great guy. Something I find interesting in his music is a theme of taking the dregs of society and writing songs from their perspective. Very unique. Buy this guy's stuff. He deserves your patronage.
Nashvile is a scam! This is the real deal right here. Brutal reality.
Nashville panders to mainstream music. You gotta hunt your own or play your own
As is Sturgill Simpson!!
You are absolutely right! Chris is amazing!
brutal honestly in Chris's songs...can feel the John Prine influence sometimes. ..
Wish he'd play a show in North Dakota. Or hell, Minnesota, maybe even South Dakota--I'd do my best to go.
But no harvest time stops. That'd be nearly impossible.
