O'Connor Lee - While We're Here
"While We're Here" filmed at Fall Creek Falls and Cummins Falls in Tennessee. Video by Forrest O'Connor and Lauren Balthrop and edited by Forrest. Audio track soon to be released by Compass Records Group.
Let’s pick up the guy on the side of the road
Let’s ask him everything he knows
Let’s find that extra nugget of gold
Today, today, today
Let’s go look for reason and rhyme
Let’s commit every little crime
Because we’ll fail the test of time
Someday, someday
You go searching deep within
And blowing in the wind
Sometimes you wanna disappear
In the blink of an eye
It’s the ground or it’s the sky
So let’s go for it while we’re here
Let’s plunge into the water below
Let’s swim down to the treasure trove, oh
Where it’s buried, I don’t really know
But that’s okay, okay
Let’s come up for air not a second too soon
Let’s dry off by the heat of the moon, oh
Here I go again falling for you
What can I say
You go searching deep within
And blowing in the wind
Sometimes you wanna disappear
In the blink of an eye
It’s the ground or it’s the sky
So let’s go for it while we’re here

The Sound of Silence - O'Connor Lee (Live outdoors)
zhlédnutí 9KPřed 4 lety
A couple weeks before the Spring 2020 quarantine when most of us still had no idea what was about to happen we filmed a cover of our favorite Simon & Garfunkel song. In light of the pandemic, as well as the tornado that had just devastated parts of Nashville just a couple miles north of us, "The Sound of Silence" seems as relevant a song now as it has ever been. Filmed by Craig Hill, live in a ...

That Loar sounds exactly like Thjile's.
Stunning cover ! John Lennon would have been proud of you, I'm sure. I wonder if Paul McCartney knows you.
Too slow tempo
I saw the Oconnor family at Walnut valley...great set(s) ,Mark s birthday is 2 days before mine a bit of a mentor to me, I started mandolin 1977. my bouzouki is from Joe Foley ( if he is still alive)in Church town Dublin. Cute clever rendition of Whiskey * breakfast which i think is the 2nd Irish tune i ever learned. thank you Forrest.
Wow........! Brilliant reinterpretation of the song❤
Precious
Gracias.Sublime
SO SO beautiful. ❤
la barbe , c'est trop lent on s'endort ça va pas avec les paroles
Awesome slick chord substitutions!
Happy to have donated but so sorry that it's necessary. GET WELL, KATE! We need you!
Just discovered this a couple weeks ago and keep coming back over and over and over. Where was I four years ago not to have heard this or known about O'Connor Lee? (Especially since I've been a fan of Mark since the 80s.) No matter. I know about them now and they have shot to the top of my playlist!
Fabulous twist on a classic! Wow!
Wow, that was so beautiful. Such a perfect rendition by an amazing couple. Sending thoughts and prayers for Kate's recovery.
Awesome.
beautiful version
Just beautiful! Thank you!
Wow! What a revised version of the Beatles' Don't Spoil The Party, I love it so much!!!
beautiful
Beautiful!!
Awesome!! This is such a great song and beautifully done!!
Just absolutely beautiful. This made me get a tear in my eyes, so lovely. You both have such special talents.
First of all why the fund for Kate, if you don't mind me asking. Second what kind of strings are you using for your Mando. Thanks and God bless🙏
Hi Denis, I usually use D'Addario medium coated strings for mando! And there is more information on the GoFundMe page regarding Kate's health situation. Thank you!
I'm sorry for what ever health issues she has. God bless you both and prayers for you and your wife 🙏
I play and that thing has a halo. My precious. You shouldnt play that thing if you want to keep it..
There is no decision to make when picking the mandolin over the ukelele--it's like picking the motorcycle over a child's bike with training wheels.
Beautiful song!
Beautiful
Beautiful!!
Just... beautiful! Love you so much.
Very Nice!
So sorry to hear about your struggles, and so glad that you're still making music! Sending money and prayers. :)
Lovely..... thank you.
Wow. I just read your GoFundMe for Kate. What a devastating development. I wondered why we hadn't heard from you two in so long. Praying for Kate and you.
Love it! You two always create wonderful music! You are definitely in my thoughts and prayers!
Wow. A new video and NEW MUSIC! Gorgeous song and great to see y'all out and about having fun. Can't wait to see you play again and to hear the new record and, even more, to hear that everyone is getting healthier. Will be praying for y'all.
Beautiful music. Gorgeous scenery. Warm storyline. Touching lyrics. Thank you.
You are in my prayers, Kate Lee!
Beautiful!
Nice to see and hear you making music.
Beautifully done. Xxoo
One you didnt mention who builds outstanding mandolins is Jonathan McClennahan in Tennessee.
Yes we've heard great things about his instruments!
very cool, dudes!
Y'all sound great together
Bring it, Kate! Love this!
Such fine music! How ‘bout that West Tennessee house concert? You know the one! BW
I can see by the publish date I'm a little late to the party but WOW what a great take on this Beatles song!
Superb! It's so well-Orchestrated. Every note in the right place. Interesting lyrics with rhythmical Rymes that Syncopate the music in a way that's entirely new to me. Beautiful Melody, Great song writing! Well done to all.
Thank you so much Jack!
Ortega?
The best version of this song. Great singing and arrangement. Hopefully much more from you. Especially 3 voices is great. Greetings from Joep from the Netherlands.
Simply fabulous!
