- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 ส.ค. 2024
- You can hear, purchase, and download sheet music for this and other Amidon choral arrangements at:
www.amidonmusic.... This is also available in the Amidons collection (book and companion sampler CD) "Fifty-five Anthems for the Small Church Choir" amidonmusic.com... .
The Amidons (Mary Alice, Peter, Sam and Stefan) learned the Bahamas spiritual"Bid You Goodnight" from the Watersons, a singing family from Yorkshire England. The Watersons learned it from the Pindar family of the Bahamas. Peter Amidon transcribed this arrangement from the singing of the Amidon family. This is wonderful song for a funeral. Slowed and softened, it is a fitting song for the bedside hospice sing.
The singers are, from left to right: Cora Neilsen Kelly, Mary Alice Amidon, Zara Bode (Stefan's wife), Suzannah Park, Emily Miller (soloist), Jeff Fellinger, Gideon Crevoshay, Stefan Amidon (Peter & Mary Alice's younger son) Avery Book and Peter Amidon.
lyrics (these are the lyrics the Amidons usually sing - Emily has a slightly different version on this TH-cam)
Lay down my dear brother (sister)
Lay down and take your rest
Won't you lay your head down
On your savior's breast
I love you, oh but
Jesus loves you the best,
And I bid you goodnight,
Goodnight, goodnight.
A for the Ark the wonderful boat
Goodnight, goodnight....
She's ridden over land getting water to float
Goodnight, goodnight...
'
B for the beast the ending of the world
Eat all the children that would not be good
Remember right well, remember right well.
Good lord I go walking in the valley of the shadow of death
Goodness and mercy shall follow me
Bread and stones shall comfort me.

That is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever heard. We sang this while spreading my little brother’s ashes. He died at 41. I’m crying listening to this rendition. Absolutely beautiful.
The Grateful Dead brought me here. Fantastic!
Me too. Love it!
They bring me everywhere
Wow!! We'll sing together again someday. Until then.
I do not live with my mother, but she is dealing with some things and this and this song brings her great happiness. Thank you.
From Polokwane and I approve 🙏🏿
2:25 💗💗grateful dead brought me here
From one Emily to another. Girl you got mad chops
I Picked this Great Old Song to be sung at my Funeral.....
or ripple......
@@barrywhite828 And/or "Brokedown Palace".
i can't listen to this enough!
Oh my goodness. So many wonderful memories of making music with you Mary Alice and Peter. I love hearing you and your kin here again.
Thank you for this amazing song. I've known it for years, but this is the best I've ever heard it done! I first heard it by Grateful Dead, and by the Incredible String Band. Both heartfelt versions, and well sung....however, you have taken the song to greater heights. It might seem strange to start the day singing "goodnight" but that's what I've done for the last few days, thanks to you all.
Are you joking?
@@haloksable I'm not sure I understand the "joking" reference. Could you please explain?
Accidental
@@haloksable Gotcha! I get the 'halo' and 'able' part. Do you by any chance live in Dorothy's neighborhood, and do know what became of Toto?
@@haloksable And now that you mention it, I notice 4 accidentals at the beginning of the Doudney/Sankey version
So much joy, so much passion. Definitely want to hear more.
Beautiful arrangement, powerful performance!
So beautiful!
Great! Beautiful rendition of this hymn.
Really enjoyed it......also love it by Joseph Spence and The Pinder Family
Wow. Just.wow
This is incredible!!!
Emily is such a treasure. Other versions of this hymn with some different lyrics are titled "Sleep On Beloved" by Lady Maisery and Waterson Carthy.
Thank you.
Great vocals,
Wow - this is gorgeous!
They murdered the song
@peytonsutiera Who murdered the song?
Perfection.
Awesome. Dude with beard and ponytail crushing it at 2:50. My goodness.
Mighty Fine Singing
Marks out of 10....10! Brillient.
Lovely. Ridiculously lovely.
she dont need no stinikin sheet music!!!!!
Sheet music does have some value. What's the best way to get a guitar player to turn down? Put some sheet music in front of them.
Amen
Beautiful 🙏🏼

Lay down my dear brother, lay down and take your rest
Oh won't you lay your head upon your saviour's breast
I love you, oh but Jesus loves you the best
And I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
And I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
And I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
Lay down my dear father, lay down and take your rest
Oh won't you lay your head upon your saviour's breast
I love you, oh but Jesus loves you the best
And I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
And I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
Walking in Jerusalem just like John (bid you goodnight, goodnight)
I remember right well, I remember right well (bid you goodnight, goodnight) (note 1)
His rod and his staff shall comfort me (bid you goodnight, goodnight)
Tell "A" for the ark, that wonderful boat (bid you goodnight, goodnight) (note 2)
Tell "B" for the beast at the ending of the wood (bid you goodnight, goodnight)
Well it eat all the children that would not be good (bid you goodnight, goodnight)
I'm walking in Jerusalem just like John (bid you goodnight, goodnight)
Walking in the valley of the shadow of death (bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight)
Lay down my dear grandpa, lay down and take your rest
Oh won't you lay your head upon your saviour's breast
I love you, oh but Jesus love you the best
And I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
And I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
And I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
kinda bugs ma conciousness a little that i think that the woman in the black dress is pretty damn beautiful
This isn't strictly a Bahamian spiritual. It's origins lie here: th-cam.com/video/t-I2m-ZCZvI/w-d-xo.html. The lyrics, though modified as it made its way from Britain to the Caribbean, originate in a British hymnist writing in 1871.
Yep, written by Sarah Doudney, born 10 minutes from where I was born, on the occasion of the death of a friend in 1871. The recording musically closest to the original is probably that by Waterson:Carthy. th-cam.com/video/u2uM0I0xPjQ/w-d-xo.html
Sheldon?
OH. This isn't a Grateful Dead tune? lol
do you know kanuga
Nope, Nah, and NO, I don't like this version Aaron Neville,'s version is melodic and calming, this version makes me want to run away!!🤣
Omfd i sooooo agree. This is karaoke at best
I *totally **_disagree_* -- my first thought is "No race, genre, or ethnicity has an exclusive claim to soul or singing from the heart."
I knew Aaron's rendition first and maybe I'll always prefer it. I love the Neville Brothers and New Orleans music to distraction.
But I grew up listening to bluegrass and mountain music distilled from Celtic settlers. If you don't believe they have as much soul as any culture on Planet Earth...what can I say? It's truly your loss.
Love this version. First heard the Dead do it at Soldier's and Sailor's War Memorial in Kansas City, KS, Feb 5 1969. Aaron's version on his "Warm Your Heart" album and the Soweto Gospel Choir's version on their "Blessed" album are beautiful as well.
@@moragmacgregor6792 We could start our own thread on the Nevilles, The Meters, Allen Toussaint... And bluegrass, cajun... The Dead introduced me to it. Led me down quite a wonderful path.
