Lyrics as asked for: Cold blows the wind That falls over my love And scarcely does she call my name I’ll pay you fifty cents Before my life is spent That was the promise made Why have you gone And left me forlorn The leaves they fly up in staves Seasons may come But I left alone For my death you cannot change So winter comes down And I make no sound There are no words to say I’ve hoped and prayed for better days But the Lord doesn’t make my way
This song is beautifully done. There’s something soulful about your voice that is really powerful. I can’t even put it in words; it’s more of a feeling.
Very nice song and lovely spot for recording, I see many musicians including myself have gone out to catch some sweet autumn colours for their videos 🍁🍂
It’s a recording king RK-R20 - it was a hand me down from my brother and I’m actually not sure if they make them anymore since he got this in 2010s. It used to have a resonator on it but I took it off - which I swear is why the sound is better.
When you flicked a skeeter off your arm at the end it looked like you struck your wrist and a banjo note played, like youre constructed of music and your limbs played make a symphony. I should like to play an instrument like you. Would you tempt Gawain? -The Green Man
Lyrics as asked for:
Cold blows the wind
That falls over my love
And scarcely does she call my name
I’ll pay you fifty cents
Before my life is spent
That was the promise made
Why have you gone
And left me forlorn
The leaves they fly up in staves
Seasons may come
But I left alone
For my death you cannot change
So winter comes down
And I make no sound
There are no words to say
I’ve hoped and prayed for better days
But the Lord doesn’t make my way
I see the words "Sir Gawain" and I click ❤
Great stuff. I am looking forward to the album!
I like you outdoors -- beautiful autumn environment. Thanks for helping me find a calm point in a stressful day.

I find you, in a nice pair of boots and jeans, a Misfits shirt (
Real nice ..Cheers .. :)
Such a beautiful background
yep yep yep. mighty fine.
This is beautiful! I could see this being used in a cut scene from Red Dead Redemption 2.
beautiful!
FEEL it
Very good
Scots have their bagpipes in the misty hills america has the evocative banjo in the valleys
❤
This is awesome
Unreal
Great sense of rythm. Some banjos sound like they have built in reverb, that one does.
Sounds ancient and authentic
Thank you Mr. Boulding!
Very cool!
wow!
Good work Murphy! You are very much talented. But just as a request can you do Cuckoo Bird next?
If somebody promised they'd pay me 50 cents and they went and died without payin' it, I'd be all depressed too
That’s what I’m saying! Two quarters are invaluable
What brand is the banjo? The sound is really nice!

@@murphydoesntmatter Did you learn banjo by yourself?
@@magicgame3000yes I never wanted to pay for lessons so I use TH-cam and books pretty much for sort of DIY lessons.
@@murphydoesntmatter I respect you, I also did the same thing with the guitar and now I would like to learn the banjo too
@@magicgame3000definitely give it a try!

😃 When are you gonna come out with an EP?
2025 I’m feeling
Interesting take
I think we would all benefit from a posting of the lyrics
Just added them at the top of comments
Wow, I blessed to have found this. What a voice...
Hey, mind if I could have the lyrics to the song written out?
They’re at the top of comments
@@murphydoesntmatter Thank you!!
This is great! I’m curious where the name for the piece came from
Sounds very Gillian Welch
Please drop lyrics 🙏🏻

Maybe life isn't that bad after all
If you follow tablature, you should be able to keep the tempo and sound that you started with.
Womp womp Marc. There ain’t no tabs for a song I wrote myself. Let’s see you play something ;-)
Many people can't keep a steady tempo and sound while staring right at the notes on the page.
Old mountain Celtic.
This is the most Gen Z/Alpha aesthetic ever. Such a struggle to feel unique and different...
what even are you talking about.... this style of music is so much older than you. Let this beautiful person make her beautiful music in peace, weirdo
Those strings sounded amazing for the first five seconds
...and all the other seconds.
this is real music
Very cool!
