"The Civil War came, the Civil War left, brother fought brother, the south was spent, but it's true demise was hatred passed down through the years. And it should've been different, it could've been easy, but pride has a way to hold on firm to history and it burned like wildfire."
Shockingly gorgeous people and music invoked from the deepest core of our best human qualities. Grateful such beauty still exists in the world of wildfires. With tears. Love.
I finally saw them live in Boston, This song has a crazy energy the whole room felt like it was electrified it's a bit hard to explain, but it felt like one of those things I will always have with me.
@roltthehunter, lucky you. I agree, this song does something sad, happy, melancholy and much more emotions that are hard to explain. If I miss a day without listening, I need my fix quickly.
I miss North Carolina. What a beautiful setting for this song that captures so clearly the central contradiction of American history. The Gyre structure corresponds so well to the historic content of each verse that it almost seems like it was made for the song, or the song for it. Anyway, all that aside--just a darn good song well done.
Being a old dog but new musician myself , I am once again blown away at how profound simple can be (at least looked simple) this is what I aspire too Amazing how something so horrible as war can be made to sound so beautiful threw music Thank you so much Much needed inspiration in these tuff times Music can unite the world
Music with heart, harmony and commitment......one day I hope to see them performing at the Old Whaling Church on Martha's Vineyard.......Emily and Andrew have the "it" factor......
Easy, if you strive to do what you know down deep is the right thing. Did I fail to mention, if you get the chance to see MO live, get to it. Well worth a trip, IMO.
WILDFIRE Brave men fought with the battle cry Tears filled the eyes of their loved ones and their brothers in arms And so it went, for Joseph Warren It should have been different It could have been easy His rank could have saved him But a country unborn needs bravery And it spread like wildfire [Chorus] Wildfire From the ashes grew sweet liberty Like the seeds of the pines when the forest burns They open up to grow and burn again It should have been different It could have been easy But too much money rolled in to ever end slavery The cry for war spread like wildfire [Chorus] Wildfire Wildfire Civil War came, Civil War went Brother fought the brother, the South was spent But its true demise was hatred passed down through the years It should have been different It could have been easy But pride has a way of holding too firm to history And it burns like wildfire
I was born a Southern Son, In small Southern town, where the Rebels run wild. They beat their chests, and they swear they're gonna rise again. It should have been different It could have easy The day the old war died, hate should have gone with it And here we are, caught in a wildfire
Fantastic performance of a great song by a great duet! I would love to see them live sometime but will take whatever live performances I can get on CZcams. Growing up in Southcentral PA, I would love to see a video of them singing this song with the battlefield as a backdrop.
This is my new ( well..not BRAND new) favorite song....Ever since they did this song I just keep playing it over and over.... Just ask my girlfriend...lol....She says she hates it.. I've played it so much.....I NEVER get tired of listening to it... The girlfriend thinks otherwise... I'm thinking of getting rid of the girlfriend...
That's hilarious! I once broke up with a girl who kept bashing the music I loved and soon after she asked if id ever shut up with the guitar playing. Aha.

There is an attraction to the flame. It burns and you know. But you test the limits. The consequences be damned. Like every other form of life. You are incapable of not finding the place of limitation.
I'm 66 and this is one of the best songs I've ever heard
56 and I have to 👍 agree
It's Nov. 2, 2020, and these words are more profound than ever.
This is so true
Supreme Pizzas are Co.8 reeeeeeeeeeeeeewe
Still profound in November, 2922
2024 even MORE scary
Still true on August 1st, 2024.

It's unfortunate the winners rewite history.
What're you trying to inflict on us, Daniel? The South going to rise again, in righteous indignation? What?
@@jacquesblaque7728 - The truth nothing but the truth . GOD so help us!
Daniel, having some diffs with the ESL stuff? Or is it now bot-prep? Better luck next try.
@@jacquesblaque7728 - no
I have been watching too much news lately and got rather pessimistic about the world. This music is healing my heart.
The news..... just there to bring us down!
Blow up your tv.
You don't need the news my friend. You'll know it when you see it. XO
This song is a synopsis of the news... The more things change the more they stay the same... "it should have been different, it could have been easy."
@@BillClintonsCigar throw away your paper. Go to the country, build you a home
Song is full of fire…… amazing…. I keep coming back to listen and remember.
Shockingly gorgeous people and music invoked from the deepest core of our best human qualities. Grateful such beauty still exists in the world of wildfires. With tears. Love.
That's some poetic description right there! Wish I could say it like you and thanks for expressing EXACTLY how I feel about this song.
music lovers ... these two are an experience worth your time ~
Well, to be fair, we couldn’t see the people that did stop to listen.
I finally saw them live in Boston, This song has a crazy energy the whole room felt like it was electrified it's a bit hard to explain, but it felt like one of those things I will always have with me.

Never get tired of listening to these talented artists. This song is like a piece of religion.
I can listen to this song all day long and love it more each time. Thank you and great job.
Wow!!!! Awesome performance and setting.
I'll have the playlist of this session on repeat for the rest of my life.
Goddam love his voice and sense of melody. Always soothing. Perfecto.
So poignant. The more I listen to this, the more it just makes me sad. But thoughtful.
Wonderful. We have a long way to go, but we can do it.

Amazing how something so horrible as war can be made to sound so beautiful threw music
Thank you so much
Much needed inspiration in these tuff times
Music can unite the world
Dang, this song. These two are effortless.
Effortless is a great adjective to describe them. Notice how effortlessly he sings all of his songs. That is how great singers do it.
They are the most incredible musicians I've ever heard. These videos are just beautiful.
Nancy Evans I agree, probably some of the most beautiful music being created today.
I do agree. Breathtaking.
So gentle, lovely voices, expression from those strings, harmony . ......
Classic. An appropriate time to find. I miss this part of NC. Peace be with you all❤️🇺🇦✊🏼
Wow, this is good. Randy travis with an indie country feel with historical story which only adds to it. Can't say enough good things
I'm reading Team of Rivals (Lincoln Bio) and right now I have tingles in my arms and tears in my eyes. What a wonderfully potent song.
Amazing duo. A fortuitous discovery for all lovers of folk music.
With a soupcon of bluegrass. Not for nothing also, that Josh Oliver is an alum of East Tennessee State.
Music with heart, harmony and commitment......one day I hope to see them performing at the Old Whaling Church on Martha's Vineyard.......Emily and Andrew have the "it" factor......
We need this song right now in 2020.
A daily tonic. Thankyou 2 for giving this to us.
My god, what a song.
Beautiful setting (thanks to public art and museum everywhere!) for this amazing duo to play this touching and meaningful song. Keep up the good work.
This and "That wrecking ball", my favorites
My favorite! Amazing talent!
❤️Wonderfull music made by you two. Love it .........🙏🏽🌺😍🌸
incredible talent.....never be ashamed of being southern
The only time you should be ashamed to be southern is when hate is praised in its name.
Easy, if you strive to do what you know down deep is the right thing. Did I fail to mention, if you get the chance to see MO live, get to it. Well worth a trip, IMO.
Kind of reminds me of an old Civil War battleground area . Really good tune, although I do still beat my chest. 😊❤
Nice version of one of your best. Thank you.
....ABSOLUTELY LOVES IT.....
Wow, incredible sound and song
Beautiful haunting lyrics. A Southern masterpiece.
Funny how they're right at home, and warmly received, at a festival (Grey Fox), north of the Catskills. In the UNITED states. And ... Emily rocks.
So beautiful :) Thank you!
Wauwww... beautuful song and perfect permormance!
The hawk or vulture at 2:49 is a nice touch!
They’re sound immensely stimulates my inner soul. Touch the Stone wishes to do an album with them! ❤
I feel like this song came out in a movie! Anyone else??
Love this duo!!So so so good!!
Great song.... Cheer's you 2... MindBlown
23 dislikes? WTF. Just beautiful.
BEST. VERSION. EVER!!!!!!
I love me some mandolin Orange!!
WILDFIRE
Brave men fought with the battle cry
Tears filled the eyes of their loved ones and their brothers in arms
And so it went, for Joseph Warren
It should have been different
It could have been easy
His rank could have saved him
But a country unborn needs bravery
And it spread like wildfire
[Chorus]
Wildfire
From the ashes grew sweet liberty
Like the seeds of the pines when the forest burns
They open up to grow and burn again
It should have been different
It could have been easy
But too much money rolled in to ever end slavery
The cry for war spread like wildfire
[Chorus]
Wildfire
Wildfire
Civil War came, Civil War went
Brother fought the brother, the South was spent
But its true demise was hatred passed down through the years
It should have been different
It could have been easy
But pride has a way of holding too firm to history
And it burns like wildfire
I was born a Southern Son,
In small Southern town, where the Rebels run wild.
They beat their chests, and they swear they're gonna rise again.
It should have been different
It could have easy
The day the old war died, hate should have gone with it
And here we are, caught in a wildfire
*The day that ole Warren died, hate should have gone with him
Someone put all this together!
Nice!
"hate should have gone with him" WOW!!!!
Burnin up the mandolin at 3:15
Me encanta esta canción! Gran banda Mandolin Orange
I am obsessed with this song. It is so perfect on so many levels!
Going to see these guys at Lime Kiln in Lexington Va tomorrow night. PSYCHED!
how was the show?
@@Bacoprah Not a betting man, but I'll bet a buck it was excellent, and highly relevant. Good for the soul and the mind.
You're not alone-GREAT SONG !!!!
Great band. Understated grooves. Love the commentary on the legacy of the Civil war.
🫶 the color in that sunburst guitar is beautiful!
Fantastic performance of a great song by a great duet! I would love to see them live sometime but will take whatever live performances I can get on CZcams. Growing up in Southcentral PA, I would love to see a video of them singing this song with the battlefield as a backdrop.
Sublime
Love it!
great song for these days, eh?
This is my new ( well..not BRAND new) favorite song....Ever since they did this song I just keep playing it over and over.... Just ask my girlfriend...lol....She says she hates it.. I've played it so much.....I NEVER get tired of listening to it... The girlfriend thinks otherwise... I'm thinking of getting rid of the girlfriend...
Do it. You don't need that sort of negativity in your life.
Buck Sellers that's it good taste is good taste bad taste is just a grind
That's hilarious! I once broke up with a girl who kept bashing the music I loved and soon after she asked if id ever shut up with the guitar playing. Aha.
Buck Sellers how’d it turn out? Still together? 😂
Buck Sellers good idea get out now while you can!! Lol she will just end up backstabbing you anyway trust me and thank me later...
YES!!!!!!
Beautiful music hearing it loud n clear St Helens England ❤❤
Very Nice. Elephant Revival also does a really nice tribute rendition of this song. Love it.
Love them! Saw them in Austin! Great vibe!
Favorite version of this song. And also I dont really like most modern "art", but those arches are pretty awesome.
I'm convinced...❤❤❤
Why, this video was shot inside a Whales Body.... Jobe spent time there, and now these two artists sing about it.... >>> absolutely beautiful
Just brushed up on my Americans History due to this song. A masterpiece
And that wildfire is come around again........
Thank you for the link Gary!
Thanks mr Hughes

Awesome ❤️
hermosisimo dúo.... me encantan esos instrumentos y como expresan tan naturalmente.... son increíbles..... muy dulce música... gracias!
love this...
I love the people rolling by on the greenway...HA!
i know haha. They couldn't feel out their surroundings i suppose. Probably chatting about the bachelorette.
How can you walk past that?
sadly ppl nowadays care more about gossiping with the attention of their dog than genuine human interaction with other purely talented individuals...

I wouldn't but you don't know what's going on behind the camera, there could be a 100 people who stopped and watched.
Probably couldn't hear it from that distance- it wouldn't have been amplified in any way, just picked up mics.
I wonder if they knew this song was gonna hit for them the way it did... good tune
I figured it out, his voice is reminiscent of James Taylor, but incredibly, better.
lovely. love playing along. how can those dog walkers just go on by? Maybe they are paid extras, lol.
amazing
was bummed when the Tulsa (Cains) show was cancelled.
So beautiful reaches way down
Really nice 👍
Timing @1:40 of money and slavery as two walk past with no clue
great love it thankyou (pmw)
SO pretty.....
❤❤❤
Oh my word... my ears are melting like butter on sweet biscuits! 🙏❤️❤️
awesome

ALL IT TAKES IS 3 LITTLE LETTERS WOW!
How did they get studio sound outdoors! . Saw them in London with my extended family! Finished concert unamplified Awsome!
