What’s the next song of theirs I should check out?
It’s actually written about the passing of his mother and how difficult it was for him and his father - hauntingly beautiful song. I would recommend checking out “Time We Made Time” & “The Wolves” by them, both excellent songs. Love the channel!
Their cover of "Boots of Spanish Leather" or "Harvest Moon".
I know you already did "Wildfire". That one is great as well, of course.
Great video Burt, as always! And you stop in the middle as much as you like friend!
We love what you have to say.
G’day Burt, one of my favourites is “Darling Girl”. Hoping that they can make it to Australia one day. Would love to see them.
There Was a Time
They have a song off the latest album called New Star. I can't stop listening!
For whoever here is listening to this song and missing someone. I really hope you find peace their your grief. Beautiful song. Miss you mom.
Such a great song and the band plays so perfectly . Andrew wrote this for his mom when she passed away.
"Like notes on the pages, she breathed life into all things" I just arrived back home from sitting with my wife at the adult family home. Her dementia rages and she's now been on hospice for 3 months. What a gut-punch of a song to listen to immediately after getting home. No words but "ouch."
Cannot imagine what you are going through Mac. I have a 92 year old Grandmother that I watch who also has Dementia, though she is fairly lucid most days, but deals with the frustration of not being able to remember and not being able to process thoughts. It is heartbreaking to watch.
I don't know if it helps any, but you are in my thoughts , and my heart goes out to you. Hang in there, the best you can.
@@28happenstance Thank you, my friend. I appreciate your care. Yes, it is heartbreaking to watch, isn't it? Such a terrible thing to watch someone you love slowly disappear. Take care of yourself as well as your grandmother. It can take a lot of of the caregiver!
So sorry to hear that Mac. I bet that is so difficult to deal with.
Lost my 18 year old daughter 2 years ago and this song always kills me. It's beautiful !
I,was lucky enough to get to see them at The "Folks Festival " held in Lyons Colorado back in 2016 that Festival was Headlined by The Revivalist. And that is a beautiful place to visit, with a River running behind the stage not too far and it is accessible so one can go and get yourself a nice cool down. But yes Mandolin Orange had a great set and it was my 1st time hearing them as it was for many of The other performers. Keep up Your great work Burt. Perhaps you have met my Cousin Ray Herndon who has toured with Lyle Lovett and was part of McBride and The Ride.
That name sounds familiar!
Hey friend his mother ,
his grandmother the feminine spirit that brought us all to now
here from nowhere
This poetry,laced to music is heavenly, hauntingly blessed
Just wow. Amazing. Beautiful tribute to his momma.
Burt I'm so happy to hear you diving in to them more. I can't describe what impact this band has had on my life. I could write all the things, but hyperbole doesn't come close to doing them justice. You are 100% correct when staying it's an honor to listen to them. It's exactly how I feel. Ive seen them live twice now and the only word I can describe them with is 'captivating'. You must go see them live. It's truly an experience. You can pick any song out of their discography and love it. Literally no misses over any of their albums. Andrew (and everyone else) is a true talent.
A song I love for a funeral is Clint Black's Go Rest High on that Mountain, but Golden Embers is in another category altogether. Such a poetic and lovely tribute. I hadn't heard it in awhile and started crying like a baby during this review, remembering my brother who was taken suddenly almost 6 years ago now. It's definitely the kind of song that helps you in grief.
I discovered WatchHouse when I started playing mandolin. Andrew is my top influence/ inspiration now. Emily caused me to also take up fiddle sgain after a 40 year break. They are the best.
I love this song and band, regardless of what they call themselves! Such good music!
Spot on, I couldn’t agree with your more. I’ve been listening to this song for years and it gets me every time.
Yes! Watchhouse! Their gut punch abilities are top tier.
They can call themselves what ever they want-they are awesome! I love how Emily smiles when she sings and plays. I can't get enough of them!
Andrews voice is so clear but those harmonies are so pure
See if it were not for a channel such as this I don’t know how I would find such brilliant writing and instrumentation. I love music especially country. Best lyrics of any genre(for the most part). My opinion only. Keep doing what your doing Burt. 👍
Thanks so much Elliot!
I listen to this song, and a lot of Watchhouse (FKA Mandolin Orange) in general, multiple times a week.
They are hands down my favorite partnered duo, and Martin and Tivel are a very close second.
This is one of the best, if not the best song about death and loss that I have ever heard. I've listened to it well over a hundred times, and it still gives me chills and occasionally tears.
As far as their name change...they could call themselves Poophouse or even Roachbutts, and I would still listen in absolute awe and wonder.
Just got to the end of the video.
So Marlin wrote it about his mother. She died when he was 18 of complications after a surgery.
Ill shoot you the article that I read a while back that talks about it.
Love this song! Just so beautiful. I'll have to dive into their music because I only know a couple of songs!
There is so much about their music and performance that is original. The originality is crafted to make an immediate connection with the listener. Rare gift. In doesn't shout at or distract the listener, instead, it invites the listener to share an emotion in a way that brings them in to the moment the song was created. Few song writers have the emotional intelligence and few are willing to risk the vulnerability to do that with their music. To open up, and let the world come right into their creative space.
love Watchhouse, they need to come to upstate NY-Poughkeepsie.
Some people listen to instrumental music to help them study, but Mandolin Orange/WatchHouse got me through grad school. Absolutely top notch lyrically, instrumentally, and they are the top-est of notches vocally. If I’m feeling down or frazzled, MO/WH helps me settle their tunes brings calm to my soul. Great reaction brother
The name change matters not; the music remains SPLENDID!
Man i love this song and this live version is just beautiful. Glad you made a reaction to it burt. Much love from the dane
How I’ve gone through my life this far and never heard southland music this beautiful
boy oh boy that is just the most beautiful performance . The both of them in another world of ethereal harmony and feeling. I'd never heard of them, only stumbled upon them when I was watching a concert with The Punch Brothers and Sarah Jarosz , who are fantastic performers in their own right.
You can't watch this without tears welling up in your eyes, and in some places where they hit unbelievable oneness, you are broken into pieces.
Come to Vancouver , Please I'll pay your airfare.
Just found the channel. Love the reaction.
Thanks so much for watching!
@@SongwriterReacts dunno if you ever heard of Caamp they have a gaslight session, you should check it out some day. Iffy was my personal favorite but the whole season is top notch
Such a great song and very nice review! Couldn’t hear your comment on what song this reminds you of but I am interested to hear what you said so I can look it up!
I personally think the band name Mandolin Orange was so clever, but they can call themselves whatever they want and I’ll still listen.
Thanks Mike! I thought it sounded like Whiskey Lullaby at times.
Can you please do a reaction to if I were the devil by Colby acuff I just started listening to him and wish there were more reactions to him
Andy wrote this about his mother. He’s written several others about her too.
One of the most haunting songs ever.
He wrote this song for his mom's funeral
Thanks for these videos Burt. Your Wildfire video brought me to your page. Great job with Wolves and Golden Embers as well. ‘Bout time for another Watchhouse reaction, I think. Daylight, Echo, Cavalry, Old Ties & Companions, Waltz About Whiskey, Time We Made Time, and Take this Heart of Gold are all great tracks. There is so much great music from this band.
Also, the Watchhouse self titled album is excellent. You can see Andrew Marlin’s song writing evolving after the birth of his daughter. Upside Down, New Star, and Belly of the Beast are standout tracks on an album that doesn’t have a miss IMO.
Thanks again for being us great music.
nobody writes about death/mortality like them..it’s incredible
Facts!
They are awesome no matter their name....
Such lyrics....such harmony....yet separate sounds....
Yep the song is about his mother. Also on the lyrics: "If you could help me to share the trouble that you've got burning in you, then you can help me...", czcams.com/video/wqWBth_rLgw/video.html If you like Watchhouse, check that performance out. It is one of my favorite youtube videos of all time. Just the two of them (plus a guest on Wildfire) and so dang good. Also, here is another talented Americana music couple that I don't think gets enough love: czcams.com/video/SlUDXjqZ7O4/video.html
From my perspective, they did it like the old golden rule simplistic I know it sounds a little over the top of that’s really what it is. They just change the sound of it by putting a capo up one full octave on 2 nd. Fret. I think the greatest part of the magic is the way the lyrics were dumb not in rhyme, but they left the pauses in which to me helps. Explain each phrase in sentence very clear, simplistic, straightforward. K I S S. Rule
highly recommend She Likes The Beatles - William Clark Green
His mother! She died when he was 18.
👍👍👍👍👍🥰
it does'nt get any better..
Carly king. Trust me Honey
Try. Carly king. Trust. Me. Really smacks. Same
Don't like the name Watchhouse. Mandolin Orange is who they will always be.
To me, “mandolin orange” has a classic and yet unique sound to it. “Watchhouse” sounds a lot more generic and boring. Just my two Lincolns tho
Yeah there music sucks now they went all liberal woke. There music tanked ! Use to be a great band mandolin orange was such a amazing thing !
Music is bad because of their political beliefs? Ted Nugents music should really suck then.
