I still listen to this every time fall rolls around, checking in from 2023 ❤️
I think these performances will be remembered for a long time. It's everything I love about music... and they're doing it live, with songs recently written, in a band formation that can't have played together all that much. Just deeply, astoundingly brilliant musicianship. Makes my heart swell.
Chris Eldridge (guitar) and Paul Kowert (bass) are long time members of Punch Brothers with Thile. He has played with Sarah Jarosz on many projects throughout the years, and he has been on Prairie Home Companion many times since he first appeared on the show at the age of fifteen. :) He was the best choice to host by far.
Christopher Burke So here's the best part...from what I understand, Sarah just flew back into St. Paul on Friday. So that means, between whenever she got into town, and Saturday evening's live performance, that was all the time that she had to learn, and practice, this brand-new song ! 😃 Wow...
I'm aware that they're all from the same 'scene' and have played together in bands and festivals over the years - but the exact band format here and the songs being played and their arrangements are all very new, with very little possibility for rehearsal.
There is hope!
He's setting the bar ridiculously high for these weekly songs.
rad1009, that's my kind of bar!
Yeah damn, this recording would be an epic composition/performance on a well thought out studio album so the fact that it was arranged for a live weekly radio show is mind blowing.
When I first listened to this in October 2016 I was single. It's now 2024. In spring of 2017 I went on my first date with my now husband, and in fall 2017 we made it exclusive. We've been married almost four years now :)
Thile's killing it!
They all are!
Good Lord this was beautiful
I just heard this yesterday on a rebroadcast of the original show (sorry I missed it first time around), and I was simply blown away. Intricate and complex musical parts combined with wonderful vocal harmonies...what a performance. It even managed to grab the admiring attention of my old prog rock sensibilities. Well done, indeed. And for the record, Chris Thile was a brilliant choice to host "A Prairie Home Companion." Here's hoping for a few more years of prairie greatness. Yet one more reason I support Public Radio.
This is a grate song....One that I will always play in the fall.
Yeah...so between this and "get it out on the radio", I think I've listened to this week's "song" segment 40 or 50 times so far.
Put them in an album and let me throw my money at you already.
There's people who can play music, people who are master musicians and then there's people whom great music seems to flow effortlessly from as if they have little say in the matter.
That is Thile, exactly.
This man is such a talent!
The lyrics, as best as I can make them out:
Dates, dates, dates for me
Can’t see the forest for the trees
All dressed for autumn in their reds
and yellows
Pretty as you please
Merrily now we sing
True love is but a dream
Dates, dates, dates
The trees can’t see the forest for me
Filling up my memory with their clove orange scented verbal potpouri
Merrily now we sing
True love is but a dream that we’ve slept right through
As the year wears on
Till tonight in the light of eleventh street
I wake up
(Say it)
You wake me up
(Say it)
Merrily now we sing
Downstream into what?
(Slow talk)
Wake me up
(Cool walks)
I’ve had enough
Of the mornings after
Fake laughter
Still ringing in my ears
Another phone number
To fear
Dates dates dates
Then fall
Writing in cursive on the wall
Winter is coming and he’s really got it in for y’all
So merrily merrily
Row row yourselves upstream
Cause true love is but a dream that y’all slept right
Through as the year grows old
Till tonight in the light of eleventh street
You wake up
(Say it)
She wakes you up
(Say it)
Tonight when we kissed on eleventh street
I woke up
(Say it)
You woke me up
(Say it)
All was right
Fall was right
My darling
No more dates for me
Simon Mellins cool! but I hear 'fake laughter' instead of faint laughter.
I concur, good spot!
Wow. Just... wow.
This was awesome. I've been listening to this way too much.
Heard this song earlier today. Pure genius.
I fully expect a yearly album compiling all of these new songs, please and thank you :)
I really love who he chose for the house band
Really disappointed that this didn't make the compilation album. In fact my three favorite "new songs" from season one didn't make it. Hrmph.
he makes me wanna get a new mandolin again.
Speaking of "Mandolin Winters", when are you going to cover "Mandolin Wind"? Oh, you HAVE to! (You can invite me to play on that show...mmm'K?)
Is this going to be available on Spotify or anything?
Each week's new song will be available as a podcast! (Including this one: download.publicradio.org/podcast/phc/podcast/2016/10/22/aphc_sotw_20161022_128.mp3)
That was the first place I looked! We have to "like" this song a lot because the title is almost impossible to search on Google!
Wild how thoughtful this was just for use on the show. Sounds a bit like Sufjan Stevens, no?
