If the wild west had a dark souls game this would be the final boss music
I’d play that!
Wild west dark souls... my god... that's genius
Never in my life have I needed something so much an not known it.
Your a cruel one... to plant the seed of such grandeur
@@Sladarol *suffer.*
Many of the (in)famous people in the old west had Irish and Scottish heritage. Thanks for doing this video! 🔥
Slip jigs and reels
I literally just asked ChatGPT about the similarities in music and WOW
@@RosheenQuynh What did it say?
@@zoeorchid I asked it this:
"I've noticed some southern music (bluegrass and such) sounds an awful lot like some folk music in the UK and Ireland. Any relation? Like, did folks from the UK and Ireland bring it to the South or something? Cuz both parts use the banjo."
And it replied:
"There is indeed a connection between southern music like bluegrass and folk music from the UK and Ireland. Many of the early settlers in the American South were of Scottish and Irish descent, and they brought their musical traditions with them. These traditions, including the use of instruments like the banjo, fiddle, and guitar, influenced the development of southern music.
Over time, these musical styles blended with African and African-American musical traditions, creating a unique fusion of sounds that became the basis for bluegrass, country, and other forms of American roots music. So, there's a definite historical connection between southern music and the folk music of the UK and Ireland, making them share some similarities in instrumentation and rowdy energy."
We're all here for Colm's dark/alternative country folk covers. More Poor Man's Poison and Johnny Cash! Seriously, what a perfect voice for some good old dark country. Especially with spooky season coming up 👀
And you'd also have people losing their minds if you started covering some Colter Wall songs, just sayin.
Me! I'd be losing my mind!
If we got Colter covers I'd collapse out of happiness
I want that.
@@astron33r67 Kate McCannon.... this MUST be done
Also, i know Colm does game music from time to time too- love to see Rise Up Dead Man from Hunt. that song is chills as it is- his voice would take it to a whole 'nother level.
Every time I hear this song, I just want to tell everyone, "The Ghost Riders," is an actual meteorological phenomenon that happens in the Sonoran Desert. This is, by far, one if the best renditions of this song I've heard in a while. Thank you Mr. McGuinness. That last note was breathtaking!
I can see a more Western themed Ghost Rider movie with this plying
@@ResoundGuy So pretty much Sam Elliots Ghost Rider in the 1st Cage GH movie. That was to hard core to just use to "lead" Cage.
@@xeroxoid7967 mmm hmm
just learned something new. thank you
Probably the origin for the mythological phenomena this song is based on - the wild hunt. Phantom riders that may kill you or reward you for standing up to them or hiding and staying out of their way.
Lyrics
An old cowboy went riding out
One dark and windy day
Upon a ridge he rested
As he went along his way
When all at once a mighty herd
Of red eyed cows he saw
Plowin' through the ragged skies
And up the cloudy draw
Their brands were still on fire
And their hooves were made of steel
Their horns were black and shiny
And their hot breath he could feel
A bolt of fear went through him
As they thundered through the sky
For he saw the riders coming hard
And he heard their mournful cry
Yippie-yi-o
Yippie-yi-yay
Ghost riders in the sky
Their faces gaunt
Their eyes were blurred
Their shirts all soaked with sweat
He's riding hard to catch that herd
But he ain't caught 'em yet
'Cause they've got to ride forever
On that range up in the sky
On horses snorting fire
As they ride on, hear their cry
As the riders loped on by him
He heard one call his name
'If you wanna save your soul
From hell a-riding on our range
Then, cowboy, change your ways today
Or with us you will ride
Trying to catch the devil's herd
Across these endless skies
Yippie-yi-o
Yippie-yi-yay
Ghost riders in the sky
Yippie-yi-o
Yippie-yi-yay
Ghost riders in the sky
Thanks!
Thank you!
Super thanks!
A true hero
Wow just reading it sent a tingle through me also could hear Johnny cash singing it thanks for the lyrics
I didn't know I needed this. The soul of Johnny Cash smiles down on you, Colm, especially you. Love you Colm.
This isn't Johnny Cash.
(Although in fairness I thought it was Marty Robbins. It is neither, though MR did a cover of it.)
Johnny cash does it too
@@minimalgrammar1276 song was made famous by the Highwayman.
@@mhuh I'm skeptical of that considering the fact that I have no idea who you're referring to, but hey, who knows, maybe I should know them.
In either case I'm not sure anyone knows who originally made this song since it seems to be pretty old.
@@minimalgrammar1276 YOU DONT KNOW THE HIGHWAYMEN!?!? its johnny cash, waylon jennings, kris kristofferson, and willie neslon
This is gonna be good. The cover we didn't know we wanted, but what we needed.
Edit: I was right, my new favorite version.
You comment before listening as well?
To be fair it's a pretty safe bet it's gonna be good.
@@nickyboy22071989 Occasionally. I don't think I've ever encountered a bad Colm Mcguiness song or cover.
One of the best Jonny Cash songs in existence. Excellent cover of an absolute country classic
Hard to call it a Johnny Cash song, when so many other legends have also performed it. But I agree, it is an absolute classic.
@@AnonymousXIIIBurl Ives is probably my favorite version. But I also love Colm's bass voice.
@@LeRoyt97 The Ives version is my favorite too. I'd be curious to hear Colm's voice with the more simple Ives arrangement and vocal intent. It could be really, dare I say, haunting. And Colm has the vocal range for what Ives does too.
@@LeRoyt97Burl Ives (the fast version) is in my top 3, along with Marty Robbins, but I also have a weakness for the Blues Brothers version, entirely due to Dan Aykroyd's incredible voice.
@@psychopompinc.646I think haunting is what Ives was going for, with those trailing yippee-kay-yays.
that split second when the music drops out and it's just a vocal "yippee" before the heartbeat starts again is so perfect
I don't know how you do it, Colm. You've not only got the southern drawl down, you've got the bass of a cowboy who smoked 3 packs a day for 40 years on the range. Truly masterful. Another one of my favorite songs covered by another one of my favorite artists. Way to Go.
Not so fun fact, smoking actually reduces your vocal range in the lower registers as well as the upper.
Imagine what those croaky old lady’s sounded like before they started smoking lol
@@grahamthomas9319oh dear
@@silverwolfe3636more like 10 packs a day
"got the southern drawl down" As a southern man I can say, no...
Oh my god... this was one HELL of a cover. Excellent work with the composition.
Geoff Castelluci did a cover of this. I'd like to see you guys do a collab! Awesome as always ^_^
I think a lot of the bass singers tend to cover many of the same songs. There's certain songs that just showcase a bass voice well.
@@AnonymousXIII True ^_^
The world needs Geoff/Colm collab
Oh man. They have such different voices and both so deep. I would *love* to hear those two voices woven together, rattling the Earth's mantle.
So there are a ton of good covers out there for this song. But this stands above them all because of one thing. Grit, your range and the grit that you put into this is perfection. This isn’t a pretty song, and it’s not supposed to be, thank you for doing the man in black justice.
I absolutely love this song, my dad used to play it on guitar when I was a kid. Brings back memories.
OMG! This has gotta be one of the BEST covers I've ever heard of this song!! You absolutely NAILED it Colm❤
Epic cover!! You and Geoff should definitely collab sometime!
I literally gave a cry of joy when I saw this! I have been waiting for this cover for while, and it made my morning ❤️🔥 Thanks Colm.
Plus I love the thumbnail.
It looks like he sees them coming towards him.
I clicked this the moment I saw it was in my notifications. You have no idea the nostalgia I got from this video, cause I grew up becoming a fan of Ghost Rider
literal chills across my skin, good sir. Thank you for sharing your music with us, and I hope you continue to do so.
Colm takes a week off from uploading to summon the Ghost Riders with an amazing cover. Absolutely stunning performance to all the different Colms in the song!
Gotta say this is one of THE best covers of this song I've ever heard...and I've heard a lot of them.
Super cover comme toujours. C'est cool de te revoir après cette petite absence. Je vais pouvoir l'écouter en boucle jusqu'à la prochaine.
This is a thing of joy, of unalloyed delight. Thank you.
I grew up with the Sons of the Pioneers singing this, and I've loved the song for as long as I can remember. Your cover is now my favourite version of the song, and it's just... right. You understood the assignment.
That bass will never get boring. You're amazing and deserve more fame!
I did not think you'd be able to hit any kind of southern accent, very well done singing in an amalgamation of one.
Literally one of my fave songs- amazing cover Colm- literal living legend
This has been in my head for a week, but is also one of my fav versions
Love it. So much amazing storytelling in the songs of the Wild West that carry the pioneer/prospector/cowboy folk music heritage. Great rendition of this song, Colm.
The whole song gave me shivers, the high note at the end was for lack of a better term orgasmic! Well done as always!
I think I speak for all of us across the pond when I say that we appreciate such a faithful cover of one of The Man in Blacks songs. And the outfit was a very nice touch that did not go unnoticed!
Colm lives in LA
@@fencingperson cool, still doesn’t change the sentiment
WOOOOW!!!!!! SUPER!!!! The best performance on this lonely globe!
You really live the whole song.
We were driving up into the Big Horn Mountains in Wyoming, and I pulled this up and gasped out loud. We listened to it on repeat until we drove out of cell range for the day. Epic and perfect for the setting.
Yippee-yi-yay indeed! I am so jealous of your range and talent!
You are one of the greatest singer I've ever "met". I would be great to hear you sing "I stand Alone" from "Quest for Camelot". ❤❤
im so glad to find someone else who's watched Quest for Camelot
@@blitsriderfield4099 ME TOO! I think it's a great great great animated movie!! One of my favorite when I was a kid. ❤️
I know the sound of each rock and stone.
I stand alone would be amazing
They're surprisingly few covers of any songs from that movie that I found.
Now this is an awesome cover ! Amazing, as usual ! 🔥
So good, too great. GREAT JOB
Where has your channel been all my life 😭
Such a nostalgic song for me. Love this cover! And so glad to see all the instruments too! ❤
Shivers up my spine! Brilliant version!
Great job! Thank you for your hard work and for sharing this video with us!
Mans gotta be the most musically creative guy in the world, the fact he can play multiple instruments like this as well as singling is insane.
oh, I have so been waiting for this one, thank you!
One hell of a cover. New song on repeat loving the bass. Keep up the great work
Impressed by the voice. But even more impressed by the fact that there is no trace of your lovely Irish accent.
This really shows your talent, all the vocals and instruments!
My God, this is fantastic! An amazing cover. I grew up listening to this at my grandparents house. We used to 'gallop' around their dining room table😂
This song will always belong to Johnny Cash for me because that's the era I grew up in. But your rendition was incredible. You are an amazing talent.
An amazing rendition of a classic-what a voice! I love it!
I am definitely learning this!
One of my favourite versions of this is from Blues Brothers 2000 and this has similar vibes, i love it!
I grew up hearing this song, so it holds a special place in my heart. this is a great cover!
This is incredible the best cover I ever heard always do amazing job it feels like the wild west is alive
Colm you been killing it in all your covers and original songs. Hope you are having a great day keep it up. ✌️
So excited! How many instruments does this man know? It's amazing ❤
I asked a while ago and never got a answer but I'll guess atlest 12.
All of them?
Idk I’ve never seen him with a didgeridoo before but I wouldn’t be surprised (or disappointed) if he picked one up!
Yes.
More importantly, how many *accents* can this man do?!?
I just want to know the actual note to note full range he has. . .and then beg for half of it >.>
Just perfect. Goosbumps all the way
Technically perfect, beautifully blended, and oh - that voice! 💕
I grew up listening to this song! It's so exciting to see a cover of it, it's been so long since last heard it I was wondering I just imagined it.
Fantastic cover of one of my favorite old songs.
Wow, this is incredibly good! Staying ttrue to the original, but again giving it something extra without overdoing.
Great work, Captain.
As many times as I've listened to your entire catalog of songs, you would think I would no longer be surprised by each release, but I am.
I've been waiting for this cover for so long! :D
Couldn’t hit the like button fast enough! Awesome as always Colm. 👍
когда я слышу Ваш голос, время останавливается 🌌 непередаваемые ощущения. мечтаю попасть когда-нибудь на Ваш концерт)
thank you, Mr. Colm 💚!
о да
Fantastic Colm ❤
Yippy Yiii Yayyyyy. Finally. The beginning leaves you vibrating with its depth. Bluddy well done mate.
You make a fine cowboy, Colm! ❤ More western ballads, please!
That was awesome. I loved it.
Yes! One of my favourite songs by my favourite singer 😊
My ears have been blessed.
This is so good!❤
Johnny cashes ring of fire as your vouce would be awsome singing it ❤❤
Oh gosh, I love what you did with the banjo part!
I mean, I love this song in general and already use like 10 covers of it so I was stupid excited to see you adding one too;
But holy shit I love what you did with the banjo part!!
Another version of this song to my playlist, awesome as always
Brilliantly done! Love it. 😃❤️
Wow...this painted a beautiful picture in my head... awesome
Even though generally I'm excited as a kid at Christmas for Colms videos, I didn't know how much I needed this.
Seems I've found my best September soundtrack. Thanks for that, Colm!
That was bass-tastic awesomeness, an epic musical journey, and the fact that you are singing with a not natural to you accent so well, is just the icing on the cake. You sir are fantastic. 👍👍Stay safe and stay awesome.🙃✌️
First I need to say, I love this song. I love cowboy/western music (different than country, although I like that too). In this version, I love the banjo, guitar, and violin - masterful! The vocal style is . . . . . different. I like other songs you sing, such as The Music of the Night, but not this song. I really do appreciate that you try different songs and styles - that takes guts and talent! And to be that talented with voice and so many different instruments, not just similar such as guitar and banjo but also violin, your are truly a great musician.
Found my new loop song for the next month lol You did this song so much justice, Mr. Colm!
What could be better than an Irish singer and Irish instruments with a perfect Western accent and Western country voice?
I love the song! Great cover!!
Omg I wanted to suggest this song! What a perfect surprise omg it’s incredible
Damn, I was just yesterday listening to the original masterpiece and the Highwaymen version on repeat, now I get an amazing Colm Version as well!
I'm listening to this song a thousand times. I really like the song itself and your performance. ❤❤❤
Beautiful
I hope you tour some day. Would love to see you live
MY CHILDHOOD! AAAAA! I DIDN'T KNOW HOW MUCH I NEEDED THIS BUT OMG I NEEDED THIS SO BADLY!
I love this song, and you did it perfectly, Colm!
AMAZING!!
banjo and bass? this man is speaking my language!
I don't know what gives me the chills more, your incredible singing or the chameleon cardigan.
Wow, amazing, love it!
Awesome!
*frantic clapping and cheering* I am a country girl that doesn't really like country music, but I really liked this. The old school country music had a better sound to it (in my opinion), and this is a great rendition of it. Bravo, my good sir. Bravo. Keep up the good work!
Try some Dead South for some dark grass sound. They pull out of the tradition of the 1800's Knoxville Girl sound.
Literal chills
woo, love this song
Heck yes! Thank you Colm!!!
Love it ❤🔥🔥🔥
I absolutely NEED this in my spotify playlists
Fantastic.
