The anthem of creole, the slow marching drum of American might. You dont need to live in the south to be country and you dont need to live in New Orleans to feel this in your soul as an American.
Allow this very pale Caucasian 40 year old dude proudly from toledo Ohio to thank y'all for the great tunes. I appreciate y'all, even if alot of times tears are falling as I listen (helps depression for some reason)
This is a fuckin timeless song. Like one of those songs you'll listen to the rest of your life. Shit gives me shivers. All love from Florida to my Louisiana brothers and sisters! Creole strength!
Never has this song been more appropriete than now. Praying for everyone who did not leave...which is an aweful lot of people! May God protect the city, hold those levees steady and have Ida go through fast. Any less and New Orleans is wiped out.
I just saw a clip of a guy singing this song on "The Voice" and fell in love instantly!!!!🥰 I came here to get the full effect and now I'm obsessed!😍 I'm from New Orleans and my baby was 5️⃣ months old when Katrina hit. That whole ordeal was traumatic but the things that we had to go through, witnessed, and mentally endure (some of us still enduring) almost 18 years later, in the aftermath of the actual hurricane is the real tragedy!😭 This song is epic and I love 💖every person💖 on here for all the love and support shown to New🏙️Orleans. Thank each and every one of you!❤ You guys are everything and then some!
Been doing disaster relief and chasing hurricanes for years, can’t believe I’m just now hearing this song. Gonna be heading straight into the next one with this on full blast
This the best song to listen to with your friends in florida, I just got back a few weeks ago, never heard of this song, got on the beach and they was playing it and I fell in love with it. It gives me shivers, I’m from kentucky never experienced a hurricane unless it’s the after math of what’s left, but I can tell you I’m a beach bum living in Kentucky, if you gave me $25 and a umbrella everyday I’d be able to live happily on the beach everyday.
I'm sitting here without power and playing this while I do a victory lap after a very intense night. God bless everyone in Southeast Louisiana, a lot of people had a rough night. 🙏
I misheard the lyrics for a long while, but the pontchartrain is a lake/estuary of the river. Born there for hundreds of year facing flooding and changes throughout the years, but its community is mostly there. And what the old man says in this song, I think, is to not fear. "It is what it is" so we say down south
Lake Pontchartrain, yup. The bridge that crosses it connecting Mandeville to New Orleans was the longest bridge over water in the world for years and years, until around 2010 China passed it up
This time in 2005 I was in New Orleans. First out of state National Guard unit to arrive. Arrived just days after the hurricane hit. Stayed and was chased out by Rita. Literally! Tornado was coming to hit Belle Chase Naval AIr station. We self evacuated to Meridian MS Air National Guard base
I ain’t ever eat a Hurricane, but I damn sure know how it is to wrestle with a couple tornados ripping the house apart. Nothing quite like the sound of that legion of warhorses closing in. Like an unstoppable fuckin freight train, ripping the trees from the ground. Not many things can humble a man quite like that.
This song was written long before then every time i hear it i think about the 4-5 months living off grid lol we had nothing i had a 3 yr old and a 5 month old too it was horrible
I was born and raised in east Texas swamps. My favorite team is the Saints and Boudain balls with Jack cheese is my favorite food. Oh by the way it's chop-a-toolus.
Laura wasn’t a flooding event. 150 MPH winds will do a number on your house though. We evacuated to Lufkin TX and made it ok. Some family wasn’t so lucky and got extensive damage.
Drunk listening to this now...reading through the comments all these hurricanes people are talking about praying for I don't remember...I wonder how many more in the a decade or more. Brave people...
I was a truck driver at the time when Katrina hit it hit Katrina hit there and omfg.what a site to see that was.hmymyeah i seen it on the news and news paper.but to see it first hand was something else.felt really sad for them
Shook! Hearing this for the first time from dequincy Louisiana just after my boyfriend lost his house in hurricane Laura. Takes a lot of water to take out our town. SWLA STRONG!!
Love this song. The month of June for hurricanes bothers me a bit. Usually more tropical storms at that time. Hurricanes usually come more around August and September. Not a big deal. I guess when you go thru them enough times dates sort of stick with you.
Never felt so close to this song until after experiencing Hurricane Ian. I know it wasn’t in New Orleans, but the words spoke straight to my heart about the anticipation and fear of waiting for it to hit. #floridastrong
Was singing this slowly and gently to my 9 month old boy and it put him in such a heavy state of relaxation that he proceeded to dump a steamy load somehow through his diaper, around the leg of his pants and all over my shirt, and pants. Core dad memory unlocked.
I remember hurricane Katrina like it was yesterday. When it came through and all but wiped New Orleans off the face of the earth I was working in Texarkana at the airport, ad we got hit with hurricane force winds even being so far north. It was a crazy time, but nothing compared to what the people of that city faced. When the levies broke and the city was completely flooded, we saw firsthand the power of water. We got a lot of the trash from that disaster unfortunately though, and rats are always the first to leave a sinking ship.
Currently traveling from my home state of Louisiana along the Texas coast where some powerful storms came through and there’s just nothing like the southern states relating to this powerful song ❤️ chills everytime and brings me to my roots
Great idea! Thank you, I'm in New Orleans so I think I'll make it after Hurricane Ida, check my channel in 2 weeks. It'll be up. Thanks for the inspiration, I was working on a Katrina/Ida comparison video and was checking copyrights on this song. I think adding reaction footage to this song while showing them clips of the storms will make for a heck of a video. You rock!
Oh... My... Fucking... God... I LOVE chant music & I swear it originated from the blues.. This song.. Straight fucking FIRE. Why isn't shit like this main stream music???
DISLIKED an advertisement where former president Obama is asking for $5 donation to Biden and Harris campaign. So much for the ADs... I love this song, have sang it for a few years with multiple people.
I heard this song back in 1980 in a country bar in Tampa....Band was playing it......I haven't heard this song until now......that was 42 years ago
The anthem of creole, the slow marching drum of American might. You dont need to live in the south to be country and you dont need to live in New Orleans to feel this in your soul as an American.
Nice comment man!!!
Look up a cook book called,
“Who’s your mama, are you Catholic, and can you make a roux?”
And…..
Geaux get some good Boudin!!
👍👍👍🍻
Agreed from a northerner in ma
Hey, it belong to us Cajuns too.
Allow this very pale Caucasian 40 year old dude proudly from toledo Ohio to thank y'all for the great tunes. I appreciate y'all, even if alot of times tears are falling as I listen (helps depression for some reason)
I just heard this while working to restore power in lake charles Louisiana. Hurricane Delta🤘
Yeah I lost a lot in both hurricanes. My town got hit real bad too by Laura and delta
What company do you work for? I'm trying to get back into Dominion Energy.
Chase Barnard... epc. I'm outta lcl 769
Thank you for helping restore power to our beautiful home Louisiana
I evacuated for hurricane Laura, but stayed through Delta. Laura hit us hard.
This is a fuckin timeless song. Like one of those songs you'll listen to the rest of your life. Shit gives me shivers. All love from Florida to my Louisiana brothers and sisters! Creole strength!
It is
I’m from the coast of Louisiana Love from us to Florida

Much love and respect from Lafourche Parish, Louisiana
💪 FL here, this is a Gulf Coast Banger 💯🔥💥
Takes a shit ton of water,to wash away Faith,Beliefs,and Tradition,God bless guys,we need it
Never has this song been more appropriete than now. Praying for everyone who did not leave...which is an aweful lot of people! May God protect the city, hold those levees steady and have Ida go through fast. Any less and New Orleans is wiped out.
The songs about a witch not a literal hurricane
@@scottseay9804 lmao.. oh ok. Actual hurricanes don"t come every june then.
@@rayfish007 Or the shrimp boats, levees, bridges. XD
I'm a south Louisiana baw that got lost in Pennsylvania.... everytime I hear this gem I get lost in the old days...
This is a banger for the generations
Saw a guy doing Karaoke to this song! Immediately I was hooked! I absolutely love this!🎶🎶🎶🎶
Hearing this song now after three weeks without power. Just now got our service and wifi back. We’ll strong here in Louisiana.

My aunt lost the home they saved for their whole lives. Screwed by the insurance company. She never got over it. Died of a heart attack.
OMG. This song gets you there.
The beat matches the flow of the river. Great rendition!
Been doing disaster relief and chasing hurricanes for years, can’t believe I’m just now hearing this song. Gonna be heading straight into the next one with this on full blast
Godspeed brother and good luck
Damn, you chase them and they follow me from state to state
Sending it out to Florida right now. Hang in there guys. Help is on the way.
Remembered this song when I heard about Ida. Y'all be safe! ❤
This the best song to listen to with your friends in florida, I just got back a few weeks ago, never heard of this song, got on the beach and they was playing it and I fell in love with it.

Can you believe Hurricane Ida is hitting New Orleans on the anniversary of Hurricane Katrina?! Be strong NOLA! We will pray for you. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thank you for ur prayers my friend God bless your heart
I'm sitting here without power and playing this while I do a victory lap after a very intense night. God bless everyone in Southeast Louisiana, a lot of people had a rough night. 🙏
My niece said its like Katrina wanted a Sweet 16 party...🥺 praying for all my Cajun family, directly in its path. 🙏
@@withlovefrommorgan because I live in Louisiana
Down here in SE Louisiana with a Texas strike team....brothers and sisters..Texas got your back

@@coop3814 that's a neat factoid, I'm keeping that in my brainbox
@@coop3814 wsup
Still the longest bridge in America
25 miles long to be exact
I grew up on the coast of North Carolina.
I remember them playing this on the radio when a hurricane was on the way.
I am listening to this during a bad storm
Me too
Heard this in a tattoo shop a few months ago I like what I heard so now it's on my play list.
Now that is one good tattoo shop

This is the baddest song period! Awesome awesome awesome!!!
One of my favorite songs to play a band practice!! 🤘

Mother nature is going to tell you to hold her beer one of these days and we'll know how much water it takes.
She tried her hand back in 2005 Katrina we lived through it barely still live in the spot too
This song was written long before then every time i hear it i think about the 4-5 months living off grid lol we had nothing i had a 3 yr old and a 5 month old too it was horrible
Let's gooo 💪🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
I'm not from Louisiana (I'm from Nc) but damn I love this song. Really speaks how tough yall are down there.
My thoughts and prayers are with the God fearing people of Louisiana. May the Lord bless you and keep you and shine his countenance upon you.
We love our red clay strays. They live here in mobile al and surrounding areas. They are such a talented group.
If your conscience wasnt seared shut and you know love,then youll love this creole bluesy music as it flows through your feels!!
I was born and raised in east Texas swamps. My favorite team is the Saints and Boudain balls with Jack cheese is my favorite food. Oh by the way it's chop-a-toolus.
We about to find out how true this song is
😳
Its ok i lived there most of my childhood. They gonna be just fine trust me Laura aint got enough water to wash away New Orleans
She didn’t even touch New Orleans 😂
Yea i live in sulphur, la and rode it out at home. Work is good though i drive concrete trucks and we pouring foundations for new transmission towers
Laura wasn’t a flooding event. 150 MPH winds will do a number on your house though. We evacuated to Lufkin TX and made it ok. Some family wasn’t so lucky and got extensive damage.
Powerful song. Great lyrics. Lots to think about…
If this ain't yalls states state song. Then yall need to get on that. To me it captures y'alls strength and grit.
Lane Hardy brought me here... Hurricane Andrew made me stay till the end...
This helps me think I'm stronger than I realize and I'm English in England
Found this looking up East Texas Flooding on Trinity & San Jacinto River.Yeah its a lot of water.
Amazing artist and feel to this
My very first time hearing this song and I am very obsessed with it
I still prefer the Leon Everett version that I heard on the radio in 1981.
@@rebeccaclementz3756 u gotta be crazy, surely it's nostalgia/bias that's making you think that!
Bump!
I like this version Best!
GREAT SONG OMG
