As I get closer to 70, I keep looking for music that rekindles the feelings I had growing up. Somehow I lucked up stumbling upon Mandolin Orange. These two have it.
They really do. I was never much for folk music until I discovered Mandolin Orange. But this really helps me relax. And not much other modern music can do that.
I'm 46 and realizing my taste in music is changing, and this is exactly what I'm looking for... this song specifically conjures emotion I haven't felt in a long time, maybe it's nostalgia.
I don't understand, what did she hope to accomplish by jumping off the cliff? changing into a bird? That would have been a cooler ending, her turning into a bird circling above.
I'm from the area that there singing about. The song is based off of a legend or real story. Supposedly she jumped off a cliff. Look it up, I don't remember the whole story
@@justinloy6339 the story is they were forbidden lovers from warring tribes and she thought she saw him die in battle so she jumped so they could be together forever, but it turns out he actually survives, and when he finds out what happened, he doesn’t hesitate to join her in jumping
Here's the story in Andrew's words. Marlin: That one, the place I grew up home to, called Jump Mountain, it’s just outside of Lexington, Virginia. There’s some old folklore surrounding the mountain. The legend goes-I’ll give you the Cliff’s Notes version-this young Native American girl was in love with this one guy, and her father wanted her to marry this other guy, this rich guy. So they had a race up the mountain to see who would catch her, and whoever caught her would win. So, instead of allowing herself to be caught, she ends up jumping off the mountain. So the whole moral behind it is, that her ghost rises up every night and makes that same run. So the song is basically her dad reflecting, watching his daughter’s ghost rise up.

@@jayp304I'm in the same place. Tastes have changed. I just haven't heard music this good in a long time.
I agree with you all....gone from rock music to folk now I'm in my 50s 😊
I’m from rockbridge, I stare at jump mountain from my porch and listen to this song, thank you for sharing the story. I appreciate it
This song really strikes a chord in my life ...i've listened to it a thousand times...and it still feels like the first...
The soulfulness of this tune makes my heart bleed. The imagery looks inspired by the old storytelling artform called Crankies.
"The rocks below could never understand little darlin' all they stole from me"
I love the countermelody Emily does at the end, it's not something that I've heard from Mandolin Orange at all, I'd love to hear more of those! :D
Looking out my window at Jump Mountain at this very moment. Love this tune.
Thats life
Love this video. It's what introduced me to Mandolin Orange (Watchhouse)!
Just another great song by my favourite band, just can’t wait till January to see them live.
you two are the best ive heard in years.love you.
I LOVE, LOVE this song and the video. We live in VA now, and I'm considering visiting this mountain this year in Rockbridge County!
Very worth it, as a non local. It’s beautiful here in RBC.
So lovely, reminds me of GAI's Amsterdam
Ah... aw... awe... awesome... ears, eyes and mind happy... thanks

This song haunts me.
Amazing

Emily in silhouette, playing the fiddle is as beautiful as she is in regular hi def video. Her voice at about 2:40 is sublime
Yes
So very cool, I believe this video is talking about a place called lovers leap
Hey! Talking about home 😁
Love it!
Awesome!!! Any chance you did a "Behind-the-scenes" or "Making of.." this video to post?
É meu mantra toda manhã ♡
love it
Really good.
Nice!
Oh my gosh
Watchhouse (formerly mandolin Orange) are some of the best lyricists I can say I've heard. That's just from a regular guy though
cool
Is there tabs for this anywhere?

is this song about suicide?
+hawktom Yes, It's about a place where he grew up and a girl jumped off the mountain. Of course love gone bad was involved!
