I saw this phenomenal band in Portland Oregon last week and they blew me away. They're incredible to see live - they build up the sound layer after layer to an incredible crescendo - and their songs have such strong hooks you find yourself longing to hear them again. I bought 2 of their CD's - one for me and another for my friend who was with me - and I have been playing it constantly ever since! If you have a chance to see them perform live - go! - you won't regret it!
This is honestly one of the best songs I've ever heard. My teacher showed it to us today because he could get it out of his head and I fell in love with it as soon as I heard it!
I saw this talented duo perform at the Andy Kim Christmas show-2016, love the song; hope it gets air-time in U.S. and hopefully, the deep south where I live.
I will honestly say the first time I heard emerald isle on cvc radio two one morning driving to work I was in love. This was three years ago and I still have not wavered in my love for the two of you. Your chemistry is so evident in your harmonies and performances. Can't wait to get back to Canada and see you two live! Come to Toronto ASAP!
This is what Music it`s all about it..the ingenuity to used an object to enhanced the harmony and created interesting rhythmic musical sounds. So lovely and Unique..Great Song and Performance.
Damn Canada's got some talent these days. Seems like every week I'm hearing about a new group I just gotta listen to. Too bad I didn't hear about these guys earlier. Gotta love CBC for helping get acts like this out there. Keep on doing your thing because my ears certainly can't get enough
Wow. Not only is this a great song with interesting complexity in the lyrics and song structure, but this performance is intimate and dynamic, using loops (including a couple cooking pots and telephone audio effect) and the pause/false ending creates a contradiction; "Never goin' back", but then, maybe we do. Fantastic stuff.
Is this the best song of the year? I'm asking because I'm not sure... There are 11 more song that I should chose and they are all from the same album. I love Luke and Melissa.
Lucky to be in SE Michigan, where we have a very strong CBC station. That's why I know this magnificent songs (plus on CBC there's real news--not just propaganda like what we always get).
Has an interesting sound. Reminds me of Cowboy Junkies. Nice sound. Original compositions. More than most country/pop artists can say (Yes, I'm talking about every song coming out of Nashville these days outside of Zac Brown!) Nice to hear some original stuff.
when I first heard the intro, it reminded me of Quentin Tarantino's Inglorious Bastards movie. Don't know why, just did. But, I love this song! I can't stop listening to it, it like mesmerizes me.
its been 7 years since ive heard this. so underrated
The beer intermission was oh so Canadian. Luved it

The beer break/ swig is so perfect! Such an incredibly talented pair.
Paul Backewich Everything is better with a beer break! Thanks for watching :)

+BeautyAngel Thank you teacher for introducing you to a fantastic band! :)
+BeautyAngel could get it out of his head lol
You're lucky to have a teacher with great taste in music. It's hard to find creative artists like this good!
I saw these live, and I swear they're are most talented pair of musicians. Congratulations WhiteHorse.
you guys are amazing...proud to be Canadian and support talented people like you
I listened to this song repeatedly years ago and just found it again. I love it just as much. Such talent
Nice to hear this song again 😊. Many memories!
this music composition has its own class. I love it.
up there with the very, very best acts i have ever heard. ....
REAL people, REAL music; just heard you for the first time and I'm a fan!!
Salmon Arm Root and Blues Festival was blessed by the presence of this talented duo Sat. Aug. 20th 2016 and wow what a show :)
Indeed! It was a magic day and night topped off with Luke and Melissa sharing their gifts in a beautiful setting.
These two are incredible.
I saw Whitehorse with my wife.. small venue in Vancouver.. we have loved them ever since. C U guys at the Folkfest!
Proud to be a Canadian and hear this great duo - listen to more great music on CBC Radio 2 (FM94.1 in Toronto )
I saw this talented duo perform at the Andy Kim Christmas show-2016, love the song; hope it gets air-time in U.S. and hopefully, the deep south where I live.
Still awesome 10+ years and counting.
I don't see how this song doesn't have more views...I mean, I'm responsible for at least half of the views so far.
I will honestly say the first time I heard emerald isle on cvc radio two one morning driving to work I was in love.

Not a music critic, struggle to say why this tune is so memorable. Let me try. Soulful harmony, mesmerizing beat and rich guitar.
I love how they take a quick beer/cider break right before the close the song
I am obsessed with this song! And Whitehorse. But especially this song.
Just discovered this, wow , amazing song
An amazing performance by some truly great and innovative artists - thank you CBC!..
This is what Music it`s all about it..the ingenuity to used an object to enhanced the harmony and created interesting rhythmic musical sounds. So lovely and Unique..Great Song and Performance.
And that's how it's done. Layer on layer. Fantastic.
Ya I watch this repeatedly big smile on my face very good .
This music is just so AMAZING. I am awed every time I hear it.
Still one of my absolute songs, and musicians. We saw them live in Vancouver last year. SUCH talented artists. Can’t wait till they come back...
i literally can't stop listening to this now, just keep repeating it over and over again. so good.
I saw them live the other day, they sound amazing! I've been listening to this song nonstop.
Heard this song for the first time today on CBC Radio 2 and had to check it out again. They are just so different and oh, so good!
Superb and extraordinary!
Just all round brilliant they are…
We're falling to the bottom of the deep... 2,3,4... have a swig, Melissa. Carry on. Love it.
...music created right in front of your very eyes and ears
Damn Canada's got some talent these days. Seems like every week I'm hearing about a new group I just gotta listen to. Too bad I didn't hear about these guys earlier. Gotta love CBC for helping get acts like this out there. Keep on doing your thing because my ears certainly can't get enough
i love how you get to see how they just evolve the song, also melissa is beautiful
Excellent. Love this duo.
...e ancora mi ipnotizzate...❤
i went straight to village records & ordered the cd....love it...
Pas certain d'avoir entendu quelque chose d'aussi hot dans les 30 dernières années. C'est prodigieusement bon.
You guys are just completely awesome! Thanks!!
Tellement bon que je suis allée me procurer l'album et je n'ai pas été déçue. C'est excellent du début à la fin. Une vraie belle découverte.
I can't stop listening to this song, it's too amazing
You both have such great voices cheers
SUCH a wickedly good tune. dig LD's geetar! and the piano breakdown. And the pot banging, ....and the beer solo...nice!
Wow. Not only is this a great song with interesting complexity in the lyrics and song structure, but this performance is intimate and dynamic, using loops (including a couple cooking pots and telephone audio effect) and the pause/false ending creates a contradiction; "Never goin' back", but then, maybe we do. Fantastic stuff.
Wow, I've been hearing the excellent studio version of this on the radio and I am totally blown away by this video. You two are top shelf!
Saw you Canada Day in Winnipeg. I'm still singing this song in my head! Will bring a bunch out to see you hear October 11. Can't wait!
Love the guitar solos, Luke
This song is so hypnotic. simply amazing!!!
Is this the best song of the year?
I'm asking because I'm not sure... There are 11 more song that I should chose and they are all from the same album. I love Luke and Melissa.
It's amazing what you find, if you're just willing to look for it. Awesome.
Beautiful music and great harmonies!
I'm now a fan :)

Whitehorse has had a lot of play on CBC. Are you listening, or do you not have time?
Monica Corry I have not listened ! Wonderful to hear. I just love them !
Lucky to be in SE Michigan, where we have a very strong CBC station. That's why I know this magnificent songs (plus on CBC there's real news--not just propaganda like what we always get).
Marvellous! I havo no words to describe it... you have fixed lots of little details reaaaally well, that's what I liked most!
Congratulations!

Musical purity is difficult to describe.

Some people don't like your music. I really like this one, and I think it's even better then the video.
I saw these guys with randy bachman amazing performance

Has an interesting sound. Reminds me of Cowboy Junkies. Nice sound. Original compositions. More than most country/pop artists can say (Yes, I'm talking about every song coming out of Nashville these days outside of Zac Brown!) Nice to hear some original stuff.

You are Fantastic.
when I first heard the intro, it reminded me of Quentin Tarantino's Inglorious Bastards movie. Don't know why, just did. But, I love this song! I can't stop listening to it, it like mesmerizes me.
