    For someone who has only experienced this earth for 40 years this guy taps into a vibration as old as the concept of time itself. This could be played anywhere on the planet and resonate with anyone who hears it. It is equally tranquil and a little painful combined with a fragile sense of hope. Truly beautiful.

      He was ambitious (Shooting for the stars) so he pursued fame and fortune. After accomplishing his goals, he realizes that material rewards aren't as important as he once thought. He misses his life on the farm and all of its simple beauties.
      He later says "Turn me back into that wild haired gale," and "Turn these diamonds straight back into coal," meaning he would trade it all to go back in time and be that boy on the farm again.
      At least that's how I see it!

      I first listened to this song in high school over a decade ago (I think Gregory still lives in my home town), one of the first songs I bought. Heard the Colorado Symphony version just recently. Loved it. Hey if you like Gregory you should check out "Chris and Thomas", they are very obscure but give off a similar but unique style to Gregory.

    The banjo lines made me perk my ears while waiting for my cappuccino in a coffee shop a few minutes ago. I asked the barista what was playing. Looks like I discovered some great, new-to-me artists. Playing a banjo tastefully and sparsely is very difficult, not many can (or want to) do it. I'm also happy to hear that the folks in my old home (Germany) are finally catching on to this kind of music. When I still lived there, nobody knew what Americana is nor wanted anything to do with it....

    There are so many profound lines in the lyrics that have obviously gripped so many people. I think for me one of them is "Ring crazy, ring like hell. Turn me back into that wild-haired gale." 4:58. There's something so immensely nostalgic about the line. Plus the way he altered the melody on this particular line was so painfully good.

    remember when our songs were just like prayers.
    like gospel hymns that you called in the air.
    come down come down sweet reverence,
    unto my simple house and ring…
    and ring.
    ring like silver, ring like gold
    ring out those ghosts on the ohio
    ring like clear day wedding bells
    were we the belly of the beast or the sword that fell…we’ll never tell.
    come to me clear and cold on some sea
    watch the world spinning waves…like some machine
    now i’ve been crazy couldn’t you tell
    i threw stones at the stars, but the whole sky fell
    now i’m covered up in straw, belly up on the table
    well i drank and sang, and passed in the stable.
    that tall grass grows high and brown,
    well i dragged you straight in the muddy ground
    and you sent me back to where i roam
    well i cursed and i cried, but now i know…now i know
    and i ran back to that hollow again
    the moon was just a sliver back then
    and i ached for my heart like some tin man
    when it came oh it beat and it boiled and it rang…it’s ringing
    ring like crazy, ring like hell
    turn me back into that wild haired gale
    ring like silver, ring like gold
    turn these diamonds straight back into coal.

When people talk about music from the 60’s and 70’s and how many good artists there were back then, I wish I could show them all this guy as living proof that there are musicians who are just as good if not better. The issue is humans got too stupid and lazy to appreciate it.

It calms my day. I've seen them in concert several years ago in Atlanta and they were great. He's so nice as we had the chance to chat and take pictures with them. By far one of the best songwriters of our time.
    Great video btw. The color of the fall is the best color and this song definite compliments the video. One of the best video from Cardinal Sessions.

    The Stable Song - by Gregory Alan Isakov
    Remember when our songs were just like prayers
    Like gospel hymns that you called in the air
    Come down, come down sweet reverence
    Unto my simple house and ring
    And ring
    Ring like silver, ring like gold

    Ring like clear day wedding bells

It's like both being transported back in time, and forward to something even better. This is brilliance, it is just, magnificence - a modern classic. I want to say more but that's just wasted effort.

    Gregory I where have you been all my life. Your songs and music so soothing to the soul. God bless you young man may he keep you on your path. I'm late husband could sing he had a beautiful voice he would have loved you. I sent your video to my daughter she can sing and plays guitar little bit she also has a beautiful voice. It has a lot of lack of confidence. I think a lot of singers seem to have that my husband was really good but he didn't believe in himself. I hope you keep making soul searching Soul soothing songs they are wonderful

    Sometimes you listen to a song for the first time and then wonder how it could be that you didn't know it before.
    This song is one of them.

    I love that it's singing, in a park, somewhere? Could be anytime, in history. A covered wagon, or a campfire song, right now, in the woods. Just instrument's & the talented artists, music. Time traveling music. ❤

    There are tons of beautiful artists on Cardinal Sessions, yet this session truly makes me nostalgic the most.
    I find this live performance so melancholic and deep, played with the heart, genuinely.

    This is a wonderful song. I've listened to many versions on You Tube, but like this one the best. The banjo is crisp and the tempo just right, to me. The lyrics are mysterious, but if broken into smaller parts all feel familiar. Especially the lyrics "Now I’ve been crazy couldn’t you tell. I threw stones at the stars, but the whole sky fell. Now I’m covered up in straw, belly up on the table. Well and sang and drank, and passed in the stable " I'm not sure if the person in the song passed out or died on the table, but I interpret it my own way. I believe this "vagueness" and "disconnectedness" is deliberate and intended. Gregory's song writing style reminds me of my past. Hardly a song writer, but very much a single traveler, I can still feel "Distance" and "Transient" in his songs, and it reminds me of what I'd experienced. Thank you for posting this song, and to Gregory for writing this beautiful song!

      There's no specific meaning, but Gregory has said that the song is simply "about everything." The meaning is whatever you interpret it to be, which in a song is rare. It's beautiful.
