Breathtaking ❤️❤️❤️...it all comes down to love. Allow yourself to feel...let the emotions flow...don't be scared...there's a lot of beauty out there too...like this music and these musicians ❤️❤️❤️...thanks for sharing.
This song is just golden in so many ways. Not unnoticed is the bass line in this version. Great job coming up with part that is so intricate and interesting without detracting from the rest of this masterful song.
@@sciencetest8 there were 37 states or territories 11 of which succeeded. No other countries recognized the Confederacy.

We call it "the pine curtain" and whisper of small towns like Jasper.
When your husband writes a truly great song and your band kills it, and you sing beautiful harmony with him, you have the right to say whatever you want.
Hands down my favorite song by them. I started covering it this year, and I plan to open a town festival with it this weekend. It's an 1850s festival in rural Missouri, and it will be a perfect song for the event. I also play at the fine dining restaurant every Wednesday and Thursday in the same town, and I cover this song every night. the staff have grown to love it, though I doubt they know what I'm singing about. Mandolin Orange/Watchhouse is arguably the most underrated band I've ever heard.
This song isn't as political as people think. It feels like its about how hatred leads to resentment, which leads back to hatred and creates a cycle. Valid in pretty much every context I can think of at least.
@@L8nitedave, I love Mandolin Orange they are wonderfully talented, and I’m sure some their feelings have merit but they have been hoodwinked by MSM and fell for the propaganda machine. Divide and conquer is what they want and they (elites) are winning. The same folks who where for slavery. AKA Democrats

I agree, it sucks there’s so many well intentioned and kind hearted people that buy into the narrative. The people pushing that narrative have no interest in bringing people together, they use it to manipulate, divide and control people. Lovely music, I’ve always loved these guys, the political talk makes me not want to listen though.
Just play the song, wildfire is not meant to be political propaganda...geez...mama always said don't discuss politics and/or religion at the table... Just play your song and don't alienate your fan base....
Exactly. I found the "Boots of Spanish Leather" cover exactly 10 minutes ago and then this popped into the feed. Thought I'd found another winner. Was half expecting that old radio song from the 70s. Even if I'd skipped straight to the beautiful music and harmony, they couldn't quite drown out the distressingly ignorant lyrics. Dangit.
"Not meant to be political propaganda", I guess you think you wrote the song? They aren't alienating their fan base, they are standing up for what is right!

Beautiful. This and Blue Ruin always cause me to pause and listen more attentively. Plus they’re such good songs.
heard you a few years back in Sandpoint, Idaho. I'm grateful that you continue to sing this song. It will always be relevant. Thank you.
Just to say - really beautiful performance. Thank you so much for sharing. Greetings from Sheffield, England. 👍

Mr. Mullican with “Goldie.”
Great piece of songwriting. Lyrics that make us think. Thats good. Pride has a way of messing us all up. Love the harmonies and everything. Love it
I'm so glad Mandolin Orange are here, still, with us, whoever we are. Thanks MO! ❤
"Too much money rolled in to ever end slavery"....pretty much says it all.
@@sciencetest8 It actually didn't , listen and think.

Brilliant and beautiful.....this one sets on my soul.
This song gives me chills every time I hear it!
Thank you for making our day, yesterday! Your unconventionally attractive friends, Brenda and Dave!

Only Love

Wildly appropriate for today
First sound to my ears this morning, well, right after a quick “hello” to my husband! This is soooo gorgeous 😌. He’s right, serenading people 😌🎵
This music Trancends hurt and Pain... It heals my Heart and Soul... a Blessing to me...

@@sciencetest8you're right. That's wrong. She had the right to say whatever she wanted without all of those other qualifiers

I'm sure in some parts of this country right now they don't and I guess that is the underlying truth, the hope that enough will.
Love from Norway
brave and wonderful songwriting

exactly Its just commentary on the the wreckage hate, ignorance, and racism have on our country
I thought so too
Well said...
@@sciencetest8 comments by one of the people who literally created the song from her own thoughts and ideas, well alrighty then.

Probably one of the greatest songs ever written
Shakey Graves that was amazing!
just spectacular. just skip the intro convo if u have 2 - the beauty here transcends all that
Racism isn't always just about race. It can be power trip about anything anywhere, for any reason. Peace on
@@sciencetest8 Judging from all your comments here it appears you are hell bent on not seeing it.

Did you stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night?
- Nice!
Love these guys but they REALLY NEED a stand up bass !!!
Clint Mullican plays the acoustic bass. This was just a special from the recording studio and him playing Goldie the electric bass.
Stop jacking up good music with diversity politics.
This is an awesome song.
@@sciencetest8let good music remind us about diversity
you can't claim to appreciate the song if you deny the lyrics
Every time I think about the Civil War, I just get angry.
sad that a song illuminates the truth, but what a song
But its true demise….was hatred. Hard hitting lyrics there.
Yes racism has decreased over the years but to deny that it is still out there is just plain denial.
Still an amazing song. But i think you could have put a little more jam into it so people could feel it in their souls
Beautiful. Unfortunately still relevant today.
I always tune my guitar to political discourse.
It’s a shame that your comment indicates such ignorance and that you appear to fall for reactionary propaganda. Great music, great lyrics from Watch-house.
Maybe they could change the lyrics to express your political opinions. You should ask them:)
Sadly, ignorance is passed down through the years as well 😂
@@sciencetest8 So you racist and can't handle it... Got it...
Is it just me or does this song have an incredible resemblance to sweet home alabama? Only slowed down a little bit.🤔
i cry for Ukrain. I hurt

Great music. But with political commentary like that I seriously doubt they vote Republican.
Yeah, republican voters love slavery and racism.
ok?
or Democrat before the 1960s.
Who cares?
@@L8nitedave😂
politics keep to yourself.
Sorry my friend but music has always been about politics and usually about the heartbreak of ignorance.

Wait, slavery and the civil war were both propaganda? Buffoon.
What propaganda?

She has a right to her opinion and to express it, you tried to shut the Dixi chicks up when they questioned the war and they turned out to be right
Equality shouldn't alienate, but here we are..
I did love your music. Now that you've told me you're just another political machine, I'm out. Good luck.
What did you think the song was about? They were telling you goodbye from the moment you walked in.
How does her saying racism and police brutality is bad make her a political machine?
