    I sang this once to a hospice patient who had Alzheimers. He connected, and moved his hands to direct me. His wife later told me he had been choir director at his church. I don't sing this well, of course, but just hearing the song brought me back to that joy. Thank you for sharing your gifts with the world.

    The origin of this song was first recorded in the 1860s. It was a gospel song created by slaves. It rose to popularity again in early 2000s due to Alison Krauss’s rendition in the “O Brother Where Art Thou” movie.
    Some believe that “down to the river to pray” was a secret message, as slaves would use rivers while escaping the dogs of their enslavers and evade capture.
    Whatever the intentions of the song, this was a beautiful rendition and very well performed. Thank you!

    • @Beregond1861
      @Beregond1861 3 роки тому +3

      I've loved this channel's music for so long. As a Christian, I find more scriptural fact in the thesis that modern "relogion" has more falsehood and disreguard for the needy than it does truth. And to contrast that more sentimental perspective, I know the endocrine system (being responsible for chills, e.t.c.) is ultimately entirely physically influenceable. There is nothing more valuable, comforting and terrifying than truth, yes atheism allows no room for hearing that reality we all have lived in, are living in and will continue to live in. If I have one point in saying all that, it's this: the statement "There is no such thing as an absolute truth" doesn't take the incontrovertible realities of gravity, light, energy, space, matter, time or temperature. And on top of that it's also an absolute statement itself. By typing all of this I'm just trying to consider your perspective without unnecessarily injecting mine, but also to offer a thesis that is outside of either of us (yet still concerns us).
