I’m a Mexican American man who grew up in lousinana. When I hear this song it helps me get over my ptsd. It helps me calm down. I love this song so much
Yup, my grandpa came of age in the 30s and called it "the loafer era" ppl just running around looking for odd jobs etc and pitching tents in the woods and all. Sounded cool
This is one of those movies that popped up on VHS ads etc when i was younger. Wasn't until about 20 years later i had a chance to see the film... .. I wish i had seen it sooner. I love everything about it
I feel the same way. My family played the soundtrack a lot when I was a kid. When I finally saw the movie just a couple years ago, I felt like I would have enjoyed it as a kid, too.
Chris Welcome My father showed it to me when i was a small child (4-5 years old) and to me it was larger than life. I watch it every now and then, just 20 minutes ago as a matter of fact. Still think this movie is magical. Turned 18 a couple of months ago.
Pointing out the lack of technology is kind of a logical fallacy, isn't it? I mean, someone who was alive during these times has no idea they're missing out on technology that doesn't exist yet(ours).
NO YOU DONT..THEY HAD NO WELFAIR SYSTEM AND NO HEALTHCARE UNLESS IF YOU WHERE RICH OR KNEW SOMEONE COULD DO YOU FOR FREE ...THERES NO CURE FOR SOME STDs
My mom's side of the family is from West Virginia and they all sang gospel in church and this was one of them. Back then and my grandpa sang bluegrass/gospel on the radio. Tunes like this speak alot to me.
I have been to a lot of states without even realizing how lucky I was traveling to a lot of places like Batman, Phantom, and Buster Scruggs (Ancestor of Applejack)
@@Myfavoritecuties Ikr! I was born in West Virginia. I’ve been in another city for 2 years after I was born then we moved to Wheeling, where I am today.
I particularly like it when directors throw in cameos, like the one at 1:40 by Gillian Welch (who is singing “I’ll Fly Away” in the background), asking the proprietor if he has The Soggy Bottom Boys performing “Man of Constant Sorrow.”
@@huskyfaninmass1042 They would ship it down from northern states who would saw up the lakes for ice in the winter, and store them in ice houses filled with straw (for insulation). Ice houses were usually dug down into the dirt, and then a roof put over it to keep the sun off.
There is something very special here All 3 of them are running and have adult lives, but they act like they are teens and kids, and i can't help but love it
a gem that should be on everyone's dvd player, piece of a goo' ol' America seemed gone for good, a special movie with such amazing characters and dialogues
These are the Kossoy Sisters- from the 50's- when twins or siblings singing was popular (think Everly Brothers, Patience & Prudence, &c.). That's Erik Darling on the Banjo, too (of Walk Right In fame- the Rooftop Singers). In the movie, at 1:43 is Gillian Welch- one of the singers on the soundtrack: another heavenly voice.
According to where the paper said the flooding was taking place its actually about 50 miles from Memphis near coldwater ms not too far from where Elvis was born in tupelo
I wish she didn't coattail this version of the song with her own on the album, though. It's nowhere close, nowhere close. Could have done without it. Welch's version almost assuredly gets the most mistaken listens to of any songs ever of people looking for this song. That they put her version on the OST instead of this one is nothing short of highway robbery and extremely subversive advertising in my opinion xD.
Pete and Everett constantly are in disagreement and argue, but then seeing him intently making sure Everett gets the right hair jelly in the scene, makes me see the true friendship between them despite that. It made me realise this time watching that I always thought the treasure was the song, but now I realise that the treasure was their true friendship. Only friends who truly knew echother in and out make a combined song like that on the fly.
I still believe yet here in october 2017, that the pie was taken no doubt, but for Delmar to leave a dollar with a rock on top, I think the man has integrity , and not quite as " dumber than a bag of hammers " 😁
Crystal Overbey Amen 🙏 I’m sure it made you identify with Delmar being baptized at the river! I listen to music like this on my way down to my chair at the tree next to my barn on my channel. Heaven on Earth itself. 🖼 Wanna be friends?
Just a reminder, this song was written and performed by the Kossoy Sisters, who released it 50 years prior to this film. They did not receive any royalties.
So many nuances in this movie....you have to laugh a bit when you notice they always walk in the same manner as when they were chained up together...with poor Delmar in the middle.
1:04 I love how the newspaper that Everett throws in the fire as he was seemingly using as a plate says “ the soggy bottom boys are a sensation but who are they?”
Such a simpler time. No constant news, no constant everything rushing around like mad. It was the depression but to some, it was life and they got on with it the best way they knew how. I love seeing the scene with the two boys carrying the ice blocks. That's how food was refrigerated then. Sometimes we get so far ahead of ourselves I think we lost something.
I want to live in this part of the movie. I know it’s supposed to be the Great Depression and not fun, but it just looks like such a simpler time. I’ve always been enthralled with this part of our country’s history and the birth of the stereotypical American hobo.
THE INSIDE SCOOP ON THIS SONG: This is the Kossoy Sisters with Eric Darling on banjo released on their first album Bowling Green. This version is not on the movie CD. The movie was too cheap to pay the Kossoy Sisters so they had Alison Krause do a version (which Alison intentionally flubbed to stand up for the Kossoy Sisters). The Kossoy Sisters didn't get a nickel for use of the song in the Movie. In fact, they didn't even know their tune would be in the movie until it came out and people started calling them.
Where's the verse I remember from the movie? Not part of the hymnbook version... O how glad and happy when we meet! I'll fly away! No more cold iron shackles on my feet! I'll fly away...
I don't care how long it would take me to make a pie from scratch. If someone came to my window, took my pie and gave me money, I'd ask if they wanted milk to go with it
Me and my 2 cousins back in the 1970s would steal granny Smith apples from the farmers orchard a few days later we would drop off an apple pie in his mailbox he was a big white man and drank a lot but we would see eating the pie with his hands
0:29 Considering this all occured in the year 1937 in rural Mississippi during the Great Depression and that single $1 bill (still on the Gold Standard at this point in history) is worth $20 in today's money? I'd like to imagine that the person who made the apple(?) pie came back to a very pleasant surprise under that rock on the windowsill. :-) Grocery money for a week!
Delmar is so damn loveable. He looks so happy enjoying that apple pie with his friends.
They all look happy
@@BladeR2049 They do. They're such a great trio.
@@TCHC85 Yep it's definitely one of my favorite movies
:)
He’s as pure as Applejack
That's the most awesome version of that song I've ever heard.
Yes, the Kossoy sisters made this a gem.
totally agree, i was at my grandfathers funeral less than a week ago, the version the church played wasnt nearly as compelling as this one. god bless
I totally agree by far the best version I've ever heard. Send's a shiver through my whole body
This version is way better than the studio version they used in the OST record.
Yes, this is better than the 2017 one. I love this song sm that it became my FAVROITE song
I’m a Mexican American man who grew up in lousinana. When I hear this song it helps me get over my ptsd. It helps me calm down. I love this song so much
Stay strong 💪
Brendan Ouellette gots too brotha. God bless
Same! Except I was born and raised in Georgia (Atlanta)
Mexican American that grew up in Tennessee right here. Keep your head up, primo. You’ve got this
That's amazing. They're just running around, having a good time. I can see why my dad loved this movie so much.
It’s such a good movie
Yup, my grandpa came of age in the 30s and called it "the loafer era" ppl just running around looking for odd jobs etc and pitching tents in the woods and all. Sounded cool
They're NOT haven a Good-Time, if you've ever Been'there'done'that! You. Would know that's Not how anything Works-out!!!
Sounds like a angel made this song
Applejack
Yes it does such a beautiful song!!!
Two angels made this song
Church!
They played this song at my grandfather's funeral.
Sorry man:( keep ya head up
Aww man I'm sorry
joe momma aw man... it hits me
joe momma I hear this as will at them sadden times great sad like song. love the words
Beautiful Rest in Paradise to your Abuelito
The dollar that Delmar leaves on the windowsill would be worth $16.68 in 2015 dollars.
I always thought it was 10$ they did have a huge sack of cash
that was a pretty damn expensive price for pie then wasn't it?
@@dallasmay4031 I think it was more of a "For your troubles" kinda thing
"Nicked the census man!!"
"Now that's a good boy"
@@duderino6171 still a good man lol
Not only did he pay for the pie, part of it was he's a new man ever since he got baptized.
@foxy 94 no that was pete

Been watching since I was 2 (about 2004) crazy that a 2 year old like me enjoyed this
It’s one of the best movies ever made in my opinion
At least we got to enjoy this move together. I miss you every day, Dad.
George Clooney looked like he loved every minute of the making of this film.
sometimes, I wish I grew up in these times
Dustin Paulsen So you want to live in the 20-30's where the Depression is happening and no technology.
Pointing out the lack of technology is kind of a logical fallacy, isn't it? I mean, someone who was alive during these times has no idea they're missing out on technology that doesn't exist yet(ours).
Do you know what you´re saying?, are you slightest idea what happened in that time?

Her: What kind of music do you listen to?
Me: It's complicated...
I'm laughing bc I know exactly how you feel😂😂😂
but what genre is this tho? country?
@@Sam-gj7ol gospel
It’s called eclectic.
It’s a little bit of everything. And not all of one thing.
I own this soundtrack.
Its not complicated at all. Gospel Bluegrass. Was that hard?
I love this movie so much
Me too dude, me too. The film soothes my soul.
jaydubya10 my favorite film of all time.
ONE of the BEST movies EVER...hands down!
I love clooney movie
Everett: I’m Batman
Pete: No no no no no no! I.. feel no pain
Delmar: I hate the government as much as anyone
Now this song is bonafide!
I particularly like it when directors throw in cameos, like the one at 1:40 by Gillian Welch (who is singing “I’ll Fly Away” in the background), asking the proprietor if he has The Soggy Bottom Boys performing “Man of Constant Sorrow.”
HungryEars - World Music The Kossoy sisters are singing this version. The Gillian Welch version is on the soundtrack.
@@FrederickPine73That’s right. I prefer the movie version to the soundtrack one. Couldn’t they get the rights to the Kossoy Sisters version?
Soundtrack made the movie, movie made the soundtrack, it's just all wonderful and inspiring. One of my favorite movies!
Love the attention to detail like the kids walking with ice. Nobody had refrigerators then. Just ice boxes.
Where did they get the ice from? It doesn't get very cold in Mississippi.
@@huskyfaninmass1042 They would ship it down from northern states who would saw up the lakes for ice in the winter, and store them in ice houses filled with straw (for insulation). Ice houses were usually dug down into the dirt, and then a roof put over it to keep the sun off.
My fiance told me they sang this song at his grandmother's funeral last weekend. At least she's no longer in pain. Such a lovely song. :')
I noticed all the songs in this movie are about dying. This one tears me up every time.
love how he paid for the pie XD
Corey Messick Well Delmar Was saved so I think he just didn't want to ruin it.
It was another time. and it was the great depression, I love that sog and the sound of the banjo.
+Joker and it dosnt really constitute as stealing. if they left enough to make another one
Delmar is just a good sole along for the ride
@john doe it was a $10 so he left groceries for the week left over for a good night out at the local watering hole on saturday night
This is my favorite movie of all time.
Paige Mars Wise choice, babe!
This entire scene/montage brings a tear to my eye. Such a beautiful movie
One of the best scene/montage ever filmed. I'll never forget it.
There is something very special here
All 3 of them are running and have adult lives, but they act like they are teens and kids, and i can't help but love it
Absolutely love the Cohen brothers so so much. They have made some of modern cinemas most memorable films ever. With such range and diversity too
need this in bluray so bad...the cinematography is just breathtaking 😫
a gem that should be on everyone's dvd player, piece of a goo' ol' America seemed gone for good, a special movie with such amazing characters and dialogues

I always think of this scene when we sing this song at church.
Clooney's mumbling, mush mouth during the ghost story is hilarious!
This is one of my favorite scenes in cinema
One of my favourite movies ever
Proud to be from Southern Mississippi!
According to where the paper said the flooding was taking place its actually about 50 miles from Memphis near coldwater ms not too far from where Elvis was born in tupelo
This is probably my favorite movie scene of all time.
1:40 That's Gillian Welch! She was the singing voice for one of the sirens, and is a nice singer in general.
Her version of Billy by Bob Dylan is absolutely haunting.
I wish she didn't coattail this version of the song with her own on the album, though. It's nowhere close, nowhere close. Could have done without it. Welch's version almost assuredly gets the most mistaken listens to of any songs ever of people looking for this song. That they put her version on the OST instead of this one is nothing short of highway robbery and extremely subversive advertising in my opinion xD.
Still one of the best movies ever made. The Cohens need to bring back First - Holly Hunter and Nicola Cage.
Pete and Everett constantly are in disagreement and argue, but then seeing him intently making sure Everett gets the right hair jelly in the scene, makes me see the true friendship between them despite that.

Steve Davis He's my and was my Moms favorite of the whole movie.
@@MyJbryant a $10 I believe
This is the best version of this song
Such a beautiful sequence and cinematography, and paired with an absolute gem of old folk music. Just perfect.
Reminds me of Moonrise Kingdom.. also yellow sceneries.
1:29
I always like this particular scene. when pete puts his arm around delmar, it shows how close they are and then delmar tries to hug back
by how the movie unfolds that song they recorded " man of constant sorrow" becomes a huge hit and our heroes don't even know it
Always loved this song
Crystal Overbey The music is part of why this is a great movie!
@@corey-bird3489 I grew up singing this in church all the time
Crystal Overbey Amen 🙏 I’m sure it made you identify with Delmar being baptized at the river!
I listen to music like this on my way down to my chair at the tree next to my barn on my channel. Heaven on Earth itself. 🖼 Wanna be friends?
Evey day i get home from school i watch this movie
I Love this song. Whenever I'm feeling down and miserable I played this song. I call it my medicine song.
This movie is completely out of my league but I loved it, one of my favorite movies.
Me encanta esta canción!!! adoro esa película :)
Definitivamente amo el Sur de Estados Unidos
I’m old enough I remember gas stations and general stores looking just like that.
I wanna past away with this song because I love it.
Me too
perfect movie

Yes I do like this movie
I feel This song brings me closer to God 🙄🙏
This movie came out a year before I was born. I did have the full cd soundtrack but Iost it looong time ago
Great mornin song
1:04 I love how the newspaper that Everett throws in the fire as he was seemingly using as a plate says “ the soggy bottom boys are a sensation but who are they?”
Coloured boys I believe.
Such a simpler time. No constant news, no constant everything rushing around like mad. It was the depression but to some, it was life and they got on with it the best way they knew how. I love seeing the scene with the two boys carrying the ice blocks. That's how food was refrigerated then. Sometimes we get so far ahead of ourselves I think we lost something.
Bayan1905 that scene is actually a nearly accurate representation of a famous painting.
what painting?
In the mountains of Appalachia, it's still like that.
Paige Mars sure is thankfully
Bayan1905 they were salt blocks not ice.
Love this song! Real music.
I want to live in this part of the movie. I know it’s supposed to be the Great Depression and not fun, but it just looks like such a simpler time. I’ve always been enthralled with this part of our country’s history and the birth of the stereotypical American hobo.

I did that in 2020
man i miss bluegrass ho downs in the barns in w va
Rewatched this film today and oh my it is amazing. The soundtrack is impeccable
Nice ! Wonderful song
Ain't a religious man m'self but the thought of leaving it all behind for a better place has its appeal.
A peaceful way to look at it
My favorite montage scene of all time.
Love this song and the whole darn soundtrack!
this vibe is wayyyy incredible !!!OMG
Peaceful reminder ;)
Where's the verse I remember from the movie? Not part of the hymnbook version...
O how glad and happy when we meet!
I'll fly away!
No more cold iron shackles on my feet!
I'll fly away...

It's just simply beautiful

Great movie

1 Corinthians 15:3-4; 1 Thessalonians 4:14
I agree, on acount of our ob stackles
I knew several guys like Delmar growing up in Missouri.
Delmar is so underrated in this movie 🎥❤️😊
He and Applejack (MLP FIM) are related
The perfect early 1900s movie doesn't exi... *Watches this movie* ( O_O)
THIS IS NICE!!
Excelente fotografía.
Myself and my Mom like Delmar the best,All of them are fantastic in this movie however.
You think he and Applejack (MLP FIM) are related
I love how they weren't becoming famous by the second because of their song, and they didn't even know it.
Delmar is such a sweetheart
Well, I’ll only be eighty-tou
Just like Applejack
Such a beautiful movie right up there with Forest Gump
