I've had this song stuck in my head since someone posted it in an Old Gods of Appalachia group, and every time I come back to listen, I end up sobbing like a heartbroken little kid. This sounds like home, and the lyrics hit all the way to the bone. Beautiful stuff.
Panthers on the Mountainside instantly made me start bawling and that's why I'm here
Seriously, what is it about this song that’s so powerful??
Hey there Family!
Same. Fell in love with him thanks to Old Gods. My mother’s people are all from Wise County, VA. This is their music.
@@SepticXableTruth... this man has TRUTH...
I saw you live last night and sobbed my way through every song. My mom is dying and every lyric was such a gentle caress of that pain. It was beautiful and gut wrenching and I can't stop kicking myself for not asking to hug you after the show because your words held every joy, every regret and every lost hope for the future. Please don't stop doing what you are doing.
Saw him in Columbus this past Wednesday. I was blown away. I'm not usually in this kind of music but this caught me off guard
My mom passed in September and boy his music has been the soundtrack of my life lately. I have been considering if there is some way I can incorporate a lyric of his into my wedding to honor my mom on that day.
@@RhiSoundsLikeRye sending love and healing wishes your way. My mom died two days after seeing Jon perform back in April. His music has been the soundtrack to my grief and though she never heard him perform, I feel close to her when I hear his music. It sounds like you feel the same.
I hope you can find just the right lyric for your wedding. It is such a beautiful way to honor your mom.
Yessss pleaseeeeee don't ever quit!!!
I am the only
son of my mother.
She's always sayin' "Come hell or high water."
My grandma's soft voice,
like tattered cotton,
sayin' "one of these days I'll get us rich and spoiled rotten."
I come from high hopes.
I come from tall truth.
A language spoke in hues of greener grass and wild bloom.
Wasn't always healthy.
It never hurt.
Some things get took some things get lost some things never know their worth.
And I wonder what
it makes me now.
Blood and guts
in a city that pours its insides in the streets.
I used to be
used to be such a breeze.
I've let regret make a mean wind out of me.
Where's my belief?
First time I came home
too much was missing.
We buried our family dog in the backyard that I played in.
Wrapped in a bath towel,
like heavy feathers,
and death was just the final thread we tied together.
I had such high hopes,
but I let them tarry.
I thought I'd hug your neck on the day that I got married.
It's too much blood now.
There's too much death.
No grave I know that's deep and wide enough to hold it.
And I wonder why
it eats my mind
The last in line
no grand-babe for my mother's knee.
Cause I don't believe,
I don't believe.
I wouldn't do what God done to me.
Where's my belief?
Where's my belief?
One of these days
I'll have to leave
and I don't wanna go knowing all I left behind's a fragile ghost of song.
I hope I'm light
hope I'm easy to carry on,
Just a tune o'er the mountain you follow home,
Just a tune o'er the mountain you follow home.
Found this on radio wv. Can’t believe this is 3 years old. Incredible song man. Not my normal genre of music but I can’t stop listening to this
Holy shit... really surprised I'm just now finding this guy
Found your music from Old Gods of Appalachia. Your words and music speak to me in a way that's hard to explain.
This man helped sing my Memmaw to her last sleep. I loved his music from Old gods and I know it'll never change.
Still can’t get over how good this song is
Saw him at the Portland Old Gods of Appalachia show. I fucking sobbed. His music is so beautiful ❤
This hit me to my core. Watching you live last night brought me to tears.
I just discovered Old Gods right before Christmas. I'm on Episode 56. Heard the interum episode from the live show. I'v listened to Panthers on the Mountainside about 15 times today. Tear up every time.
Its so powerful that one artist can move so many people so greatly. I need everyone to hear his music.
I need everyone to hear him as well!! Weeee NEEED him!!!
Under rated song. This should be played on every radio station.
Saw you perform this in St Paul earlier this year. Great song. Great album.
Man that brought the tears. I know what it's like to love a piece of land and a way of life and seeing it fade away.
These words hit home.
I heard this song for the first time tonight live and it made me a fan for life, beautiful, heartbreaking, heartwarming, brings me joy.
It was such an honor to meet you in Durham after the show. Thanks so much for reliably making sob-- sometimes you really need it ❤
You hit those heart strings that’s for sure 💕
I'd heard you before on the OldGodPod, but I hope you really blow up as a result of the live tour. I was at the Durham NC show, and this one really got to the crowd
I'm dying for him to get more recognition. Make this entire nation sob their eyes out!
Dude that song is something else. Your imagery is soooo good
Found you from Old Gods of Appalachia! Love your music!
Steve gave me a seat to the show in Charlotte tonight. You broke me down like a box with this song... 😭
I feel like I'm going to be in the top 1% of his listeners on TH-cam music at the end of year recap this year 😅 I'm absolutely obsessed. And sad that, being in Alaska, I will probably never make it to one of his live shows. 😭 His music is so moving and there are so many lines that stick with me.
Still one of my favorite songs from one of my favorite artist. You have some killer talent and such soul and story telling in your voice my friend.
jon, please never stop making music.
Yessss please do not quit!!! We NEED YOU! WE ❤
Outstanding song, Jon. Really speaks to me. Must’ve listened 20 times over the last few weeks. It takes me home.
Really good writing
So good. .
Love the creative production on this rendition as well
Love your songs dude! Keep it coming
This is the best song I've heard in years. Bravo, Jon.
This is poetry. Thank you. Please keep doing this.
Wow this is so good man great job
My new favorite artist!
Just stumbled upon this. This song hits the feelings hard! Somethings get took somethings get lost somethings never know there worth! Love it brother! Keep on🤟
Great song!!
This song is so good
Great song, man. Keep up the good work.
My grandma always told me I would make it in music. One of the few that's always believed in me
You believe in yourself friend and we will follow your lead.... do like Jon sing from your heart of hearts... place truth in every song.... we NEED this
fantastic. I may have commented twice on this.
The voice needs to be discovered. Unique like Tyler Childers and sturgil
Good shit man. Good shit. I’m impressed. That’s hard
Absolutely 💯
NICE
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Every time I listen, a different line makes my face leak.
Same!!! 😭 I've been listening to a lot of his music, so it keeps happening
Just found your music from Jessica Lea mayfield Instagram- love this song sounds like you’ve been through some shit
Every God Damned song feels like it was written for me,
That's both great & horrible at the same time....❤️
That's the anthem for appalachian people .
I love you so much!
First view my dawg
