    "Folsom Prison Blues" has been on my list for years, and I'm happy to finally be able to check this one off. Johnny Cash obviously has the best version of this song but I hope I at least gave you something a little interesting to listen to. Thanks again for watching!

    "Folsom Prison Blues" was originally recorded and released by Johnny Cash in 1955. Since it's release it has been re-recorded and covered by hundreds if not thousands of artists. Rolling Stone went on to name it one of the top 100 country music songs of all time. Personally, I'd love to know where he came up with the lyric "I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die..." If anyone knows, drop a comment below.

      I was just talking that out with my brother last night. Very similar themes (trains moving, sorrow/blues) and Geoffs original MOCS bridge COULD be read as a guy haunted by the murder he committed. We decided that Man of Constant Sorrow could be a prequel, where he riding the rails on the run for the murder he committed in Reno six long years ago (which is why he can't be with his true lover.) Here we see him after he got caught, having accepted his lot but missing the hobo life riding the rails.

    • @thatalchemistlady
      @thatalchemistlady 9 місяців тому +5

      @@sarahereach That's actually a great way to tie up the stories! I thought of man of constant sorrow as a sequel, on my end. I thought that he escaped prison as an interlude between both songs, and that the "ghosts within his head" are his past crimes. Interesting how both stories are so similar!
      Also, with a little bit of imagination, we could even associate Sixteen tons with these two.

    I happened upon this music video during my lunchtime, you see I was in a rather dour mood after having all the drains in the deli, where I work, so when I started this video I didn’t know what I was in for. I just knew it was going to be good because, well It’s Geoff Castellucci and we all know how awesome he is at arranging his pieces. Oh I was so not wasn’t ready to listen to this work of art. This piece just seemed different from the rest he’s done in the past. So full of Easter eggs and I’ll admit it…candy too, but what had me reeling was the richness of his voice. This music video and arrangement, good sir, has been your best one yet.
    Many have compared Geoff’s voice to a fine wine, aged well and matured, but I’d have to say when I listen to Geoff’s voice I think of a sun setting….oh the layers, it’s so vivid I almost see colors. There’s a richness in his tenor range that is so full and sweet it reminds me of the vibrant colors cast upon the clouds whereas his deeper bass register is like the rich deep colors you find in between the clouds that you can’t help but be in awe of….everything works in harmony, the deepness reinforces his higher range.
    Oh how I love the intricacy of this arrangement, a new favorite of mine….now don’t mind me, but I have a sudden urge to go paint a sunset for some reason.

    This song in particular reminds me of an old resident I used to clean rooms for at my work. His name was Ellis. Ellis was a perfect addition to the home, the sound of his harmonica echoing throughout the halls with many Johnny Cash tunes in his arsenal. I asked him how he learned to play and he said, "Once I lost the use of my legs, I knew I still had my hands as well as my voice."
    So he learned how that way, keeping his hands aand mind busy as he continued to play his way into my heart and of those he touched. He asked me to sing with him multiple times and each time we did, was a moment that I will always remember for as long as I live.
    Just sitting down with this man, almost made me feel like I was sitting down with Johnny. The sheer joy he had playing for everybody and anybody, makes my heart smile. We lost him last year and it's people like Geoff, who pay homage to the greats that keeps the memory and the music alive.
    Bravo! Geoff. Bravo!

    The visuals are a treat, your clone interactions only continue to improve. As do the various 'personalities' of the clones themselves: 'Jeff's' attitude... 'Daryl's' surliness... 'Joeph's' reticence/air of regret.

    Geoff, you gave us another wonderful cover! You have such a good sense where to change up a song completely and where to stick more to the original, you proved that again here.
    Your voice fits the song perfectly and you surprised me from the first line on - how brilliant is it to slow down the beginning on ‘and time keeps draggin’ on’! I love the little details (including easter-eggs) to differentiate the different characters and expecially Jeff’s attitude! My two favorite moments are you playing the harp and your little run on ‘whoa’ in ‘…better movin’ on a little further down the line, whoa’

    Oh wow!❤🔥🌋 I was hoping so hard that you'd sing Folsom Prison Blues. I love Johnny Cash, especially this song, very especially the Reno line (got it on a t-shirt and many are confused 😂) AND I love Geoff Castellucci as an artist! The combination couldn't be better.
    Johnny Cash wrote the song in 1953 while stationed in Germany serving in the Air Force.
    Regarding the video: it is illegal to appear so handsome four times. You start straight away with push-ups. And end up clapping between pushups. I am full of envy and love 😅.
    but since I've been getting testosterone as a substitution, I've been working on it and getting better and better. My voice also fits more and more to your songs, which makes me so happy! I sing "with" you every day. This helps me so much to keep my voice gender dysphoria in check. I used to have to put a capo on the first fred for Johnny's songs, now I can do without. Nothing, really nothing calms and grounds me more than reaching notes when singing "with" you.
    Of course Folsom Prison is immediately on my best playlist named "Castellucci 🔥".
    Geoff, a thousand thanks for this joy that you bring to so many people with your music and personality!
