- Chris Thile covers Josh Ritter's 'Another New World' @ Whelan's - Dublin, September 2011.
There's a clear association between this song and Edgar Allan Poe's poem "Annabel Lee", which is about a narrator's love for a girl named Annabel Lee. Their love is so strong that the angels grow envious, and send a wind, 'chilling and killing my Annabel Lee'. - Hudba
This is my favorite performance of anything ever.
This is what I imagine a performance by Kvothe from the Name of The Wind would be like...even to the point of bringing the audience from tears to joy in a matter of seconds. Pure genius.
Remy Welch what a brilliant reference, Chris Thile already has his pipes to be sure
That was my exact thought too! Chris Thile is definitely Edema Ruh.
Holy shit yes!
This comment just amplified my love for both the books and chris thile!
Spot on!
Watching Chris Thile play makes me completely understand the mythologies of gods and divine muses of music. He plays mandolin like a man possessed and I absolutely envy him for it.
This guy is a gift to the world. An incredibly well written song performed by a guy who has completely mastered his instrument. Watched it maybe 20 times and will watch it another 20 I’m sure…
Thanks Chris!
Same here played this at least a dozen times this week. Chris is so good
Give this man his pipes!
The guy who goes "aahhh" one second after the (magnificent) last note.
That guy.
He's been paying attention.
"aahhh"
Wonderful ending, wonderful song, fantastic playing and singing, and a great audience.
Oskar Förberg time of the ahh?
...one second after the last note
10:11
i just couldn't help myself.. pure joy....
True music lover, you are
I've been coming back to this video for years. It was genius to transition from Another New World into the Bach partita. It really helps soften the edge from such a painful song. The former makes the latter more beautiful and emotive.
Just came back to it again myself. Someone uploaded a reading of the Annabel Lee and I remembered this video and hunted it down. It’s been 3 years. Time for you to give this another listen. A well spent 10 minutes.
Old Worlds were once New Worlds and, sometimes, Old Worlds can be made New Worlds.
The line "And I won't call it rescue" makes the song for me. Absolutely heart wrenching love story.
Dash Nesbitt Yes, and the lines that immediately follow
@xut_the_shit 02 Another beautiful line
Absolutely
I believe this confirms that Chris Thile is an alien. No way that kind of music comes from a human being.
I love this man more than words can express.
Same. I'd follow him to the Arctic and back.
You can't reasonably expect music to get much better than this.
I love how the Partita sounds on the mandolin as opposed to the violin. and I also love how he's doing it 100% from memory, wistfully Thile-gazing into the audience as he plays.
Absolutely amazing.
sometimes watching very talented musicians makes me feel jelous, when i watch chris thile i feel nothing but joy. And Hope.
A compelling story about explorers dying in a storm and a Bachasm. All on one tiny instrument. In an irish pub.
Respect.
I come back to this video about once or twice a year. This is one of my favorite performances of all time.
Yep, here I am again.
I must agree!
Back again
Hey Y’all I’m back too
I come back to this video once a month.
I love that after playing something immense and heavy and sad, Chris sort of apologizes for it with a bit of impressive but humorous playing. Like, "Okay I made you cry a little so here's me shredding some classic stuff."
History will remember Chris Thile as one of the greats. I feel privileged to have seen him perform. I hope to see him on many more occasions.
KT Rob I saw him when he did the reunion tour and album with nickel Creek.... They were better than their album. But my fav is punch brothers and I've never saw them but I really wanna.
Go Bucks I saw Punch Brothers once and it was amazing! I’m always astonished how each member is always on the same page as the rest. Their timing, even with really complex pieces, is amazing.
how can he not look at his finger placement on his mandolin during his solo at 3:27? Seriously.. that's insane.. One of the best musicians in the world.
Stephen Bradshaw in the history of ever even
I love Josh Ritter and this song is one of my favorites. A cover by the amazing Chis Thile? What a perfect combination.
Josh Ritter writes songs like authors write novels.
@@WtfCZcams_YouSuck heard
One of Thile's greatest solos. It may even have been improvised.
The prelude to the transition into Bach was so incredibly seamless. There's a reason he got a McArthur genius Grant
Only one Chris can ever exist.Lucky us.
The second solo, roughly around 6:30, so invocative of a terrible sea gale, painfully cold and blinding in white ice. Really brings you into the story.
the solo at 3:27 is astonishing
This is why he's one of the greatest musicians in the world today!
He looks like he is having a seizure though
FUCKYOURSELF GOOGLE who cares, it's perfect
I totally agree. I am so grateful this was posted. I think this might be the best solo I have heard from Thile. Thank God we live in a time where recordings are so easily made. We are all super lucky this dude made the decision to record this!
@@KyleHurd He is also the most accurate bobble head doll.
most beautiful mandolin solo ever
Starting around 6:57 you can hear a Bach piece: Violin Partita No.3 in E Major, BWV 1006: I. Prelude
+Weird Beard That's why they laugh ;^)
I bet I have listened to this song at least 500 times...thank you for sharing, Robert!
haha me too! :)
YES.
...because when you haven't already open-jaw wowed the audience enough for seven minutes, there's always Bach.
He's a romantic.
@@WtfCZcams_YouSuck He's utterly delicious.
God bless Josh Ritter.
WOW! WOW! W-O-W!!!! Someone pick my jaw off the floor! Haunting, so beautiful, ethereal. This man is ingenious.
It really is almost impossible to believe that anyone could be this great just doing his job.... a true master at his craft.💛🎶
I remember seeing him wow the people at the campground when he was only around 11 years old at the telluride bluegrass festival..
I've listened to this like 5 times in a row.
And every time, I'm convinced my phone is ringing in the distance at 2:20...
At 33, it's possible that I've never seen a more moving solo performance. He is not human.
That man's "ugh." of astonishment at 10:10 is what I was doing about every ten seconds throughout.
Mr. Thile should win a Grammy for this performance.
Otherworldly.
A sublime 10:15.
another worldly
I went to see him tonight in chapel hill tonight. He is phenomenal. Funny as hell too.
He is a different performer solo. Everyone should see him in that format; I've had the same blessing. Glad you enjoyed it so much, Grady.
This is stunning, just stunning.
Greatest musician of our era IMO
This guy is quite simply astounding, in so many genres.
When I saw this I died because my life was now complete. Then his solo brought me back to life.
This is the peak of music
What an amazing creature, Mr. Thile is.
Sends chills down my spine..pure gold
This video should have 12 million views, not 12 thousand.
I'm so glad he sightly flubs that note at 9:16 so we know he is actually a human being
This song was always in the back of my head as I watched ‘The Terror’.
As the sea turned the color of sky
turned the color of sea
turned the color of ice.
That’s the line.
Greg Day you get it. That’s the line.
You don't get to be THAT good without thoroughly enjoying it.
There is no better rendition of this song
Probably one of the most beautiful songs ever written
Hope everybody made it to the party!(da) Josh Ritter, what a composer!
Thank you SO MUCH for this.
Chris Thile is my hero. This made me tear up no joke
To have been in that live audience must have been memorable. Really this is more than a song. It is a theatre piece.
every time I watch this I think how is this even real
Oh my word! This has been one of my favorite songs since I first heard it in November and this version is hands down the best I have ever heard. So haunting and beautiful!
He is so good!! Ethereal, other-worldly good!!! I could just cry listening to this.
Just saw him play this live!!! A. Ma. Zing.
He gets a better tone out of a mandolin than anybody I've heard
a modern love stort with timeless lines. incredible!
Wow, he is absurdly good.
uh...no. he's the finest there ever was.
Unbelievable.
And that perfect harmonic at 2:07 -ish to finish the first solo... O.O
2018. Who's coming around here to listen?
Divine performer.
true musicianship is being able to pour your heart in the moments notice. this dude tours and makes moments like this
He’s only gotten better since then!
Putting a mid video ad here was criminal
I think I love him...❤
Nope.
I am QUITE LITERALLY in love with him...
outstanding
This version is better at being this version, and Ahoy! is better at being Ahoy! Fortunately we live in a world with room for both.
I have to say, I like this version much better than Josh's. I'm sure that most wouldn't agree, but Chris's timing, voice and overall telling of the poem is better. I will give Josh props for coming up with a deep side story to Poe's poem. Although, with Poe, he made it more vague until the very end that Annabel Lee was a ship and not a woman. Great song writing by Josh and excellent performances by both!
Josh Ritter's track is one entity, Punch Brothers performing the song is another entity, and Chris Thile performing this song solo and throwing in Bach is an entity unto itself as well.
***** There are covers are just a lesser version of the same entity, like the Counting Crows cover of Big Yellow Taxi. Then there are covers that overshadow the original, an enhancement of the original entity, like Blue Suede Shoes by Carl Perkins and the cover by Elvis Presley. Then there are covers that are strong but the original is also strong enough to coexist with it, two separate but equally worthy entities, like Hurt by Nine Inch Nails and the cover by Johnny Cash or Crying by Roy Orbison and the cover by KD Lang. More words to impress you. Don't forget to comment on my knowledge of musicology as well as my vocabulary.
***** You're welcome. Thank you for once again using more words than my original post to explain how my original post could be shorter. I'm sure fans of Chris Thile, Josh Ritter, mandolin, Bach, or any of the other elements of this video feel much enlightened by your contribution.
***** Yes, Chris Thile fans are indeed "hear" because we know more about music than the average Joe. Perhaps you could say something about Chris Thile's music. Based on your previous comments I'm expecting wordy oversimplifications and unrequested assessments of intelligence, but hope springs eternal.
is it hard going through life as a douche or is it just so natural to you that it doesn't even phase you anymore?
Some people make music, but Chris Thile IS music.
Chris Thile is Absolutely the best mandolin player in the entire world! Freakishly and delightfully beautiful performance. This Lloyd Loar is singing with joy for his majestic love of music.
The pairing of "Another New World" with that Bach Partita works so well.
This is ten minutes of heavenly music! Thank you so much for sharing it.
le plus grand instrumentiste de notre epoque... Il vous laisse sans voix... Prodigieux
Wow; Ritter by Thile with a little Bach infusion!
Possibly the most beautifully sad song I've ever heard.
Just saw Josh Ritter, recognized the song because of this video. Soooo goooood.
NICE !!!! Josh would love this !
This is fantastic. Loved every second.
Magnifique!
Absolutely in awe
I love watching this guy perform.
Holy Cow! Breathtaking!
Magnificent.
Absolute perfection
Amazing.
Incredible.
great video! what an eerie but beautiful song.
Stunning.
A thousand time yes.
I am blown away- more so by the beautiful responses people have posted. This is Love.!
Thank you.
Oh my, just when I think I've heard all his versions of something, 3:25 happens. He really is a genius.
Unbelievable brilliant! nothing less...
A beautiful song covered beautifully! 👏🏻
cant believe i missed this!!
lucky to catch the punch brothers in 2012 it was amazing!
He is brilliant.
Totally brilliant.
