Lost my sister Marie a month ago. Couldn’t believe my ears when I heard these lyrics. This tune brought a heavy tear to my eyes.
Shireling , sorry to hear about your sister. Lost my sister two years ago and the hurt is still strong. Brought tears to my eyes too.
This dude's voice is a sun-soaked willow, gently creaking on a late Sunday afternoon. Beautiful stuff.
one of the best comments i have ever read
Never heard of them before.I left the room for a while and this was on when i came back and yeah he can sing.They sound good.
Scott - CZcams comment worthy of song lyrics in itself!
Scott, dem's beautiful words.
Amen
Who started cutting onions in here?
This song brings tears to this grown man's eyes !!! As a 57 year old Mama's Boy , I can't imagine the pain he felt when he lost his Mom at 18 , but this is a Glorious Tribute to his Mom , Sister , and Baby Daughter !!!!!
Me too, brother.

Yesterday was my daughter's 3rd birthday. Her mom passed shortly while giving birth but was saved. Listening to this song always reminds me how lucky we were and how things could have been so drastically different. I couldn't do it
The more I hear these two, the more and more I love their music.
Don’t you ever change
Your voices are so real and your choice of songs astounds me.
Don’t let the industry change you. Hold true
Beautiful is all I can say
Thumbs up
These two are in my opinion the best singer song writers out there right now.
Hard to disagree
I can't get enough of Mandolin Orange. So glad I discovered them!!
2021. Still so beautiful. Perfection. I just adore the looks she gives him. I hope you two are now joined together.
Yes, they are, they had child about two years ago.
@@LonesomeTraveler Thank you. Brilliant.
Peter, was wondering if they were a couple.
@@LonesomeTraveler , great to hear that. I discovered them by chance, and love their music. Do they have any recent music?
@@leapingjoseph8462 They released an album last year and have got a duo-album coming I believe. But they are called Watchouse now!
just discovered this after a gruelling day, played it twice, had a glass of merlot and money couldn't buy how relaxed I feel, going to check out more videos, cheers guys x.
It doesn't get old.
Hey, Georgie Cat, Iove this band! I was rolling through CZcams, a few weeks ago, looking for a bit of this or a bit of that when - WHAM! -
serendipity struck, and I became an instant fan!
For the past hour or so I've been listening to a whole bunch of Mandolin Orange, sippin' a glass or few of a fine dry red, accompanied by a rather well-rolled little joint!
Time to roll another one, just like the other one!
The perfect company for my many sleepless, restless nights; I just wanna listen over and over. Fallin' in love with Mandolin Orange.
I hope your doing well and finding restful nights.
I listen to this song for hours on bike rides ~~
Me too!
it is a gift of Mandolin Orange to share with the world. So many folks here just found and fall in love with you guys. The magical music from the heart enters the world is like an angel descending to the physical reality, guiding us to the utopian garden which is only an eye-closing away. Everyone truly wishes Mandolin Orange to continue doing what they love that makes people love them.
I have such a crush on Emily Frantz. So talented and beautiful.
You're a horrible person... at least that's what I'm going to tell her behind your back. We do what we gotta do :-)
These 2 make a great duo of creation of audio pleasantries. She is naturally beautiful and so talented.
It's a darling girl, my darling girl
With eyes as dark as night and a heart so true
But just so strong, set to live a darling life
As years roll by, she'll grow up fine
She'll sing a silent song
But she'll find your piano
And she'll find her wings
She'll sing all the days long
I'm waiting on a ghost, to show her loving arms
And sweet Marie, I can see
Your faint light shining down on me
Go call on her brother, and her sister too
Go call on all the town
Tell them all today, your darling girl is to wear a wedding gown
Though it all came so fast
Ten years soon will pass, before there's room for three
My sister will grow, my mother will know
Soon there will be room for me
I'm waiting on a ghost
To show her loving arms
And sweet Marie, I can see
Your faint light shining down on me
Like an old toy top, spins and stops
Or a tag on the last waltz to end the ball
A long summers wait, will come winding down
She'll be buried in the fall
Now she sleeps with you, Marie
Bittersweet is this old world
But they tell me soon
My sister too will have a darling girl
I'm waiting on a ghost
To show her loving arms
And sweet Marie, I can see
Your faint light shining down on me
Sitting on the porch with my wife and dog listening to this. WOW!! Good stuff!!
finding stuff like this makes broadband worth having , thank you mandolin orange
What an amazing coming together, like Simond And Garfunkel, a beautiful blend of harmony, vocally and instrumentally.
You two have the sweetest harmonies
I just discovered these guys - oh YES. Thank you!
Mandolin Orange made magic for Folk Alley, twice
like finding a beautiful seashell on a litter strewn beach. wonderful.

neil young heart of gold
Been about 7 years since I've heard this song. Still as beautiful as the night I played it falling asleep in a different time in my life.
Don’t seem like that voice should come from that face. He’s got an old soul trapped in there! Let’s protect these beautiful musical treasures 🙏🏼
Gaad, i cant stand for this, whiskey down now, and faith in human kind restored :D
pure unadulterated perfection, no way around it
time stood still
I always listen to this version of this song rather than the CD version. This song is so beautiful.
a duo of angels could sound no better. a southern accent rests easy on my soul. Townes. . . Dylan. . .these two can cover the greatest poets of our time and make it their own.
They are like a morning sunshine after a night of sadness
Gillian Baxter couldn't have said it better
Great song indeed! Lyrics are not mine of course: It's a darling girl, my darling girl with eyes as dark as night
And a heart so true but just so strong, set to live a darling life
As years roll by, she'll grow up fine and she'll sing a silent song
But she'll find your piano and she'll find her wings
And she'll sing all the days ...
I'm waiting on a ghost
To show her love in arms
And sweet Marie I can see your faint light shining down on me
Well go call on her brother and her sister too
Go call on all the town
Tell them all today, your darling girl is to wear a wedding gown
And though it all came so fast, ten years soon will pass
Before there's room for three
My sister will grow, my mother will know
Soon there will be room for me
I'm waiting on a ghost
To show her love in arms
And sweet Marie I can see your faint light shining down on me
Like an old toy top spins and stops
Or tag ... in the ball
A long summer's wait come walking down
She'll be buried in the fall
And now she sleeps with you Marie
Bittersweet is this old world
They tell me soon my sister too will have a darling girl
I'm waiting on a ghost
To show her love in arms
And sweet marie I can see your faint light shining down on me
Like being kissed by the warm sun on a cold day. Touched from head to toe. Love Mandolin Orange!!
I'm waiting on a ghost
To show her love in arms
This is simply stunning stuff. Love you both - you add to my life
Sorry I took so long to comment on this song. I can't say more than I've said on the other songs. Wonderful harmony, well written song and beautiful in the simplicity of the arrangement.
shine your faint light down on me Marie.thankyou for your kindness when I was younger .reg mair
Their own beautiful harmonies; voices and violin. Gentle as we go.
Opposite genre, but these two comprise one of my most favorite new groups (new discovery to me). Beautiful!
The words tell a beautiful story.I get lost in the song evert time i lisen to. It puts me at peace inside.
I have a 7 year old daughter and this song has so much meaning. I've listened to it i know 100 times. it's sad but ends with the perfect message. it took me a minute to figure it all out but I'm sure people have their interpretations. it just makes sense to me the way I interpreted it. all their songs are good as well. I would love to see them live.
Sweetness. Nice one Beehive crew!
This song puts a chilling peace in my soul.You two are amazing.
Not sure how this only has 12,000 views! This song is just beautiful. Love Mandolin Orange so much!
Saw these two in Vancouver last Friday for the first time. Wow! This is my favourite song…...
Folky/country perfection. I hope you two can make enough money to continue being musicians! More please.
I like this Couple and their beautiful music, so I liked and subscribed. Sing it.............I think, that " they"... are in Love
Tears in my eyes. This is beautiful. Thank you!
these artists are great. I love listing to them, and have heard several songs .. I particularly love the way this man plays mandolin and love the way she plays the violin. I purchased a mandolin oct 2016 and have played it almost every day since .. my guitars collect dust now and im so used to the tiny fretboard that a guitar feels like im holding a 2x4 for the neck area .. lol
Magic, pure magic!
You made my day! Best wishes from Germany...keep on...
listening to this, while thinking of you :) #030 ♡
This song made my wife cry .. we love your music! Come out to Kansas soon!!
absolutely bloody gorgeous!! thank you both all the way from south england xxx
Emily & Andrew, thank you very much for your music, which is very quiet and relaxing. It is a slow and beautiful music with a wonderful melody. The guitar and violin excellent match for your voices.
My name is darling and my dad learned this song and plays it for me thank you for this gift 🫶
Beautiful and meaningful music. Thank you.
So glad to have found you two. Your music sounds great, very relaxing porch sippin tunes.
Sending love to MO from Down Under, I love the cheeky undertones in these beautiful understated melodies.
This is astonishing. And lovely and beautiful. You two are amazing.
i love this duo. they play beautifully.
Just realized what this song was about... this is one of the most tragic songs I've heard in a long time...
Wow! Blown away. Incredible.
A beautiful song that just sort of seeps into your soul. Nice recording too.
Sometimes music merely blends into the background of our everyday lives and then sometimes music like this reaches into our core and takes root.
My darling girl, my darling daughter...
GREAT !
They play such mellow songs, but I never feel melancholy listening to them... Just mellow and content.
this is the sweetest, saddest song I've heard in a while.
These two get better every time I hear them.
They are coming to Philly 2/6/19 I will be there. Pure GENIUS.
a million symphonys . True artists.
These guys are Great and Emily has Magical Eyes.
Exquisite. It doesn’t get any better than this. Bravo!
legendary folkers
