Anybody else still visiting this....? ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
YES!
@@mitsirrah yes awsome
yes
I am. Regularly!
Yes
I'm amazed at the crap that passes for modern country music while outstanding music like this lingers in the background never receiving the recognition that it deserves. This song should be on top of the charts if you ask me. Really good stuff!
💯👍🥰
Ditto
Feel you bro 🫡
This song is about history, not a popular topic with a certain demographic. What people apparently want are songs about trucks and being better than people who live in cities.
Exactly.
Hats off to the dude that recorded and mixed this session.
Yeah sounds phenomenal...definitely his day job
SERIOUSLY 💛
Totally, but don't discount the mixing the band is doing on the fly with the single mic in the middle.
or dudette*
It was Bob Mallory read the description
Kudos to the engineer(s) who recorded this, the sound is nothing short of amazing.
Exactly what I was thinking - the bottom end is 100. Overall balance is wonderful.
Sheesh, no kidding. Fully agreed! As someone who volunteers at church running the soundboard, what they've achieved recording this LIVE is incredible! (Not to mention the band's unmistakable talent!)
Great performers makes a huge difference! Makes running sound, and recording easier, that for sure! :). This is fantastic!!
Strongly agree!!! I was impressed in the first 30 seconds on that too….
I continue to come back to this performance and recording… sounds soooooo good!!
I can't get over the deep regret and sorrow that permeates this song. "It should've been different, it could've been easy." How true of so much of history.
100%. I like the studio version better and I turn it all the way up. This is a powerful song
I’m wondering why our history should have been easy? I mean siblings can’t even co-exist.
It was never going to be easy. Human nature wouldn't let it.
Good song but the mandolin should have been set to the same volume as the rhythm guitar the strings on it are high pitched enough to still carry through the melody in my opinion and it would have been a more full sound
yes
To me, this song still deserves many an award. You have an award in my heart, folks.
Sure!
Had the privilege of listening to this guy play around a campfire while I was growing up and going through high school. proud of you man.
Wow epic
Lucky !! :) they are great!
He didn't make you gay?
You sir have been blessed
Jordan Stevenson lucky you x
This is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard, just from a melodic perspective. And as a daughter of the deep south, as someone whose great-great grandfather walked home from Appomattox and as someone who grew up in a neighborhood where KKK rallies were held at a gas station down the street, these lyrics resonate so deeply with me. Thank you, thank you, thank you Mandolin Orange.
... this song was in your soul before they wrote it down, and sung it to you. As a damn Yankee I lived in the deep south for a short 10 years, and I have always believed that the South took the high road in that war. The Yankees winning was the worst thing that coulda happened, to America.
well said young lady but being a northern yankee i can relate also im actually a northern hillbilly ask any of my friends lol should b in the mountains of nc instead of mountains of northern pa
@@rodneycaupp5962 Thank you for saying that Rodney, that means a lot coming from a northern. Not to stereotype you by referring to you as a northern, as we are all American but you know what I mean, and I'm pretty sure I know what you mean. ✌
@@shawnaldrich764 lol, that's alright.. we would definitely get along, born and raised in smokies of western NC. "that's alright" as in "that's neat or cool"
@JD123483 The Truth should piss you off. That's what those lyrics are: the awful, terrible, truth about the South. This song is our history, and our shame.
Mandalin Orange deserve a Oscar award for this song.
That guitarist is on point. Pure silk
First heard this at my 81 year old mama’s house on Thanksgiving. Mama loves her country music we said and smiled. A memory that will stay with me the rest of my days is hearing all of us answer her question of “ y’all smiling but what does this song mean?” My granddaughter is 8. My father 82 (married 62 yrs them two). I think we all learned something about the past and moving forward.
This song will always represent to me what happened.
My mom used to let my brother throw parties at the house just so she could listen to Andrew come play music...
nice
As a southern gentleman in the later stages of life the lyrics hit me square in my soul. It could have been easier without all the pride.
Amen brother...
Gary Shelton In my estimation it was not pride. It was insecurity and misery. Too many southern whites needed to feel superior and having a shitty life feels a little better if someone else’s life is worse. I don’t judge those people but I grew up around them and watched that mentality up close. Peace.
@@learnedhand8559 off the charts judgemental comment
@@hayleyb467 I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you simply did not read my entire comment. As I said quite clearly, I am not judging these people and to be clear, I am not saying all southerners thought this way. My comment was based on my real life observations of seeing conduct and hearing comments made by white people over the years that I lived in a small southern town. Now, I am talking years ago so perhaps the attitudes have changed. However, I stand by my statement that many southern whites boosted their own egos on the backs of black people. Many did the exact same thing in the religion context as well (i.e., I am superior because I attend XYZ church). That all comes from insecurity - not pride.
@@learnedhand8559 I understand where you're coming from & think the observations are valid. I'm a southerner, too.
Statements beginning with "I'm not judging, but..." or "Not to be rude, but..." etc.
Typically tend to do just that.
It's a matter of wording. Respect.
That smile on the drummers face when they start…..
That is a look into the soul, brother.
That first note took the young lady's knee out for a second.
I'm in love with that electric guitar tone. Such tasteful playing. Not too much, not soo sparse....just right.
VERY tasteful. No stupid guitar posturing and facial contortions, no pointless high speed "shredding" nonsense, just perfect.
Of any and all live recordings of this song this is absolutely 100% the best version ever recorded in time. Take that for what it's worth.
So happy when a story gets told
Beautiful ❤.
Make music great again!
Literally been on repeat the last 10 hours. At times critical, focused listening, other times a soundtrack to my day. The most beautiful thing I've heard in years, maybe ever. This song brings tears to my eyes, evoking the grief and desire of what Humanity could be.
A great groove and Andrew’s voice and delivery is beyond description.
Agreed, Randy Cook. I cry for all of humanity when I listen to this. It is and beautiful and gut wrenching at the same time.
Amen, Brother Randy, Michael, and Sister Diane.
Well said, Brother Randy. You must have a little writer in your blood.
Agreed brother
@randycook, this song evokes so much emotion it sometimes brings tears to my eyes too. One of my favourite songs since Rafferty's Baker Street.
I came back for this treat. This songs musicianship and lyrics...oh the lyrics... oh the instruments...it can touch the soul.
This is absolutely one of the most amazing songs I’ve ever heard. I can’t listen to it enough.
What a great voice he has, great song writing, great musicians, understated, like something from a Coen Brothers movie. I love them xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I think writing meaningful, accurate songs about American history is very, very difficult. To bring a song about your homeland across the whole journey of our centuries, as these folks have done, is staggering and beautiful. Thank you, Mandolin Orange. Thank you.
I think this is one of the greatest songs ever written.... Nearly 250 years later and things still haven't changed
Nearly 160. Let's hope things will have changed long before 250.
me too
@@justamusta 250 is correct. The song traces hatred as a dominating force in America back to the Revolution.
I understand the sentiment, but "haven't changed"? That sort of throws dirt on the immense progress that's been made since slavery.
I’m not so sure nothing has changed. We had skin color water fountains when I was a kid. We’ve come a long way with more to go.
This song, the artistry, the musicality, the sentiment, the sorrow both for a nation and its peoples, then and now, it's breathtaking. The insight, the humanity, the humility and the imploring for a greater understanding, for a lasting peace. I'm not American but it's very hard not to weep every time I hear it.Tge power of music!
Still listening. Over and over. Seems that most of your recordings that are live, are the best.
I've watched this video so many times, and listened to their music on thousands of occasions, and yet when he starts singing here, it catches me off guard every single time, such a special sound.
I just discovered this song. Holy fuck omg this gave me chills. So we'll written and so relevant to the current era. This is one of my new favorite songs. Beautiful and well performed
This band is the sonic equivalent of warm buttered bread in a wicker basket.
Silk......summer breezes. Yup, as a Warren, I even more wholeheartedly concur. I can't stop replaying.
I don't think the original post needed anything added to it. Extremely well said.
Nice image to go with this laid back Southern sound!
I was thinking more like a moist vagina that was just fingered in an here kitty kitty fashion
Warm buttered bread, made lovingly by a beloved family member.
The strike of the mandolin at 4:39 always sends chills down me
In case you’re looking for this song in 2024; Mandolin Orange has change their name to Watchhouse.
Thanks bruv
I heard this for the first time last night and completely fell in love with the groups sound. I can’t imagine this song being done any better by anyone. They definitely deserve a first place award somewhere. Wonder song and sound.
Lead guitarist soulful effect on top of that sweet mandolin and acoustic guitar is intoxicatingly beautiful
That's Josh Oliver. Great guitarist.
so glad people still play beautiful music
If James Taylor and The Avett Brothers had a love child, this song would be it.
I've seen them play in front of 20 people, I've seen them headline a festival...and I still think this is best version of Wildfire they've ever done.
Don't forget the NPR tiny desk version.
There's something raw and pure to it when it's just the two of them playing.
And the NPR audio guy is unrivaled when it comes to getting everything to sound perfectly.
This is the first song I heard by Mandolin Orange. I was totally captured. I looked up Joseph Warren. I have collected just about everything Andrew and Emily have recorded, and I think this is the only one that has a true historical tie. Joseph Warren, a general, got permission to wear the uniform of a private and fight at the Battle of Bunker Hill, where he died a hero. "Coulda been different, coulda been easy..."
The only song that makes me want to grab my Mandolin and Telecaster at the same time!
Never has a simple, 3-chord progression sounded so textured and beautiful.
You sound like music supposed to sound. Inspirational. Thank you both for sharing your talent. Its feeling of life, loss and all the goodbyes and hellos. Mandolins bring life into me good thing I get done...stay free all.
Plesant and sensitive music. Always become calm listening. Keep coming back. ❤
Perfection! I’m Northerner but so love the south. I’ve sporadically lived and worked in the south for many years
STUNNING musicianship. What balance and consideration for each other musically. Combined with such meaningful lyrics as well. Of any of the recordings available of this beautiful piece this 100% the best available. Thankyou so much Watchtower from an avid fan in the U.K ❤
I'm 64 years old and seen thousands of performances live. I have seen them live several times, and will say, without a doubt, they are one of my favorites live.
First time hearing this and I am utterly F***ing AMAZED!! This was wonderful.
Absolutely beautiful
“Hate should have gone with him” Love that line!
that line always makes me want cry "pride has a way of holding too firm to history and it burns like wildfire"
This is country music. Theres a difference between Nashville radio and this. Don’t be fooled. Hats off to these guys!!!
So glad i stumbled across this. They will be the house band in heaven!
He has such an amazing voice....
Team….. please keep up this incredible and beautiful work.
You have a gift from above….. thank you for sharing it with the world!!!
This guy can really jam the mandolin
This is so good. A southern guy like myself raiised in Mississippi appreciates this.....Such a great song lyrically and muciscally......
Help me please, I can't stop listening to this and wake up in the morning singing this fabulous song.
Been there actually still there WILDFIRE
I can help it's nothing but lies and propaganda!!
Me, too... Want to listen to this live version on loop... So good... everything about it, just sooo good...
This group is pure gold. His voice is like silky smooth whiskey and the layers of all the musicians is magic!
This song always gives me goosebumps and leaves my eyes all watered up. Well done.
Been watching this video for three years now. Can’t get enough..
I hope this country starts to wise up quickly. This can really happen today. I understand each side. We need to start to compromise, let’s stop digging in before it’s too late
Song writing and storytelling does not get any better than this...one of the most beautiful, thoughtful songs I have ever heard...chills every time.
A masterpiece that speaks of the current historical moment we Americans are living through. America is already great and getting greater!
I love these lyrics, especially as a veteran. War is always justified by some "righteous" cause (religion, nationalism, etc.), but it ultimately boils down to the same things that animals struggle over: power.
So nicely put.
Human history would agree with you, sir. Don’t hate that you went to war, but I think we’ll reach where we need to be (as a species) when wars are eliminated from our regular repertoire
How quickly that is forgotten with this generation James. Dam shame... they're giving it away. @James Farrant
Most of my brothers say the same. We hurt a lot of people and broke a lot of stuff, for what? Nothing changed.
Slavery was doomed anyway. Technology was killing it. Why did we have to burn the south down and let loose rivers of blood?
And the worst part of it, with someone's else blood.
Absolutely! Love my dead, panic, and others because they are a headlight in my journey- I find myself coming back to MandolinO- cheers
So much respect for the authentic tradition.
This song will go like wildfire on UA-cam. Man the singing and the band is killer. This song captures so much of attention that I have listened almost 100 times since yesterday that I found. Man I would give a 1000 thumbs up.
Wow. lyrics , Tonality , composure to leave space , production , this sounds like a true and tested song that's a lot older than it acutely is . What a great piece !!
This shit is just too good. I keep coming back. What a tune.
I love this song. Its definately my favourite song atm. Good country western voice. Keep the songs coming
This is GREAT music. I never get tired of listening to it
This is such a good song.
Beautiful , hypnotic ❤
Still shed tears for our boys lost and families torn apart in that war... all that time ago. Wish you all well today 🍀
Nice to wake up today. Thanks CBS This Morning
My God.......that gives me chills. BTW, my Grandfather was Joe Warren and went to war at 16 in the Pacific. Our forefathers were the original Joe Warren's that Warren County Tennessee is named for. That's where family reunion still is and my cousins own creek front properties on Big Hickory. We wade and fish......watch the generations pass and savor every DROP of fireflies and watermelon.....and sip of the white. I just cried. THANK YOU M.O. Breathtaking.....
This is the group (Mandolin Orange) that drew me back to listening and playing.
Madolin Orange is the reason I pay 10 bucks a month for Spotify! I joined to discover singer songwriter style music and these guys are a gift that keeps on giving.. Love you guys!
Please tell me about more such underrated artists. Thanks.
@@evamkaushik5392 This may or may not reach you after two months, but here are a few artisits that I discovered on Spotify that are wildly underrated: Houndmouth, Sogs:Ohia (Jason Molina), Shovels and Rope, Delta Spirit, and I'm With Her.
Beautifully played and sang. 👍👍
Been listening to this over and over for 3 days. I grew up in 1960s Alabama and never understood the hate. Glad my parents taught me about Jesus and his advice to "Love thy neighbor" and "Pray for your enemies".
A mellow sound with mandolin notes that pluck at my heart. The growing sound that spurs movement in my heart. I, a southerner, can hear the sound that feels of southern land and southern spirit. This sound grows and the mandolin pricks in loveliness and beckons the richness this sound spurs. I love this song. I found this song at the perfect time In my life.
Holy shit this boy's voice goes right through me and out the other side. He was born old.
that is exactly it!! he sounds like a 40+ yr old man and not bad!! it's good!
I love your comment. According to his backstory, he's earned every bit of his years.
First time I heard them I wasn't even sure I liked them but you are right, the music goes right through you. Can't get enough.
Fancy meeting you here D'Arcy.
D'Arcy Good thats one way of putting it . . i thought it was really crystyl clear
I asked Alexa to play 'Wildfire' , the song from the 70s, instead this came up, fell in love with the sound right away. Hope their other tunes are just as good. Going to Nashville helped me to rediscover the kind of music I turned my back on when I went to college
I absolutely love seeing young talent on the rise. There's a lot of it out there.
There certainly is, I feel mixed feelings about those who stop trying to experience new talents merely because it takes some energy to engage with the unfamiliar
Love this, 5 stars: great story, music composition, dynamics, layers perfection. I want to hear more.
This song has played a big part in dragging me away from that stubborn, southern identity and foolish loser's pride. Thank You, M.O. Music has power.
well said good sir
We all have our own Pride and if each of us could acknowledge it we could begin to heal.
Can we still be proud to be raise in the South? without the hate? Love that I grew up down South, have taught my kids that a man is a man.
Have set foot on 4 continents, 48 states and still belive that NC is Gods country. I get that some still believe in "the cause" but most of us don't. We do believe that this country is headed down a path of no return.
Wonderfull song...
i never heard it called loser's pride before, but im glad i have now
Loosers? Are we so ignorant that we think the civil war was about slavery and racism? Unbelievable
How can such a humble & sad song be SO RELAXING... LITERALLY ZENS ME OUT!... NONSTOP REPEAT!
" From the Ashes grew sweet Liberty like the seeds of the Pines when the forest burns... They open up to grow and burn again".....
Deep
Real people playing real music!
You guys are awesome!!!
Kick ass slow burn groove, love it! And their harmonies.... like sunshine in a cloudy forest !
I've fallen in love with this!
This is absolutely incredible. Being from Texas, I've been waiting for some country I could sink my teeth into. Dude's voice is fire.
My goodness. The guitar tone is beautiful
Saw them at Thalia hall in Chicago. The sound system went out and the band and crowd sang this song in unison on a cold and snowy night. Great memory!
No matter how many times I revisit this, it never gets old. Such a special blend of unique sounds and textures.
His voice is exceptional and she is abnormally beautiful.
Simply beautiful.....
I had never even heard of this band, and now THIS SONG, Wildfire, is like one of my favorite songs of all time . . . congratulations Mandolin Orange for this masterpiece, and THANK YOU!!!
I agree with you. This song is a masterpiece!
Heartfelt, very weighted and anchored beauty in this honest, veiled lifted gift to our ears.
This is a courageous song, beautifully done. Thank you.
Got to be one of the finest songs ever written love these guys
This is where country should of gone. Rock. Blues. Authenticity. Nope. We gotta talk about feet on the dashboard and water towers filled with lite beer.
Agreed, Jarrod! Had this been the way of things, I wouldn't have given up on country back when I was 14, some 42 years ago.
Still some decent Country out there, but I agree with your assessment. (her skirt hitched up to there and I ran my hand over her ___) And that's why I switched to the Bluegrass, Newgrass, folk type music). I don't think lyrics like you described belong in Country. Fortunately, it's only the 'progressive' radio stations that're playing the sex & beer 'Country'.
Yep-no heart and no soul. You got that right.
This is beauty in sound. Touches my heart for real.
Well, it looks and sounds like this stream of country is flowing in an authentic way real fine. If it's not the main stream feeding from some corporate mill, so what? We can be happy about that. And if you keep looking around, you can find a lot of fine music, from all over the world: thank you You Tubers! Keep paddling around and let people know, sing the praises of what you find to love. Like: LastDate by the Waybacks, any of the TransAtlantic Sessions, most of Oliver Mtukudzi, or Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Gillian Welch...
There has never been a truer statement! LOL
