Finally some Mandolin Orange. I share the same sentiment as the guy who recommended on being appreciative of the genuine passion from Michael. Fun to watch him break these great songs down. I personally dont think Mandolin Orange have a bad song and some of the more interesting arrangements for me are “Paper Mountain”, “When She’s Feeling Blue”, & “Blue Ruin” if anyone is looking for more recommendations.

I don't like a lot of this "reacting to" trend that many KZitemrs do these days because most of them just watch or listen and make weird faces and then the video is over, but you take the time to make out their choices in songwriting and appreciate the music for what it is. Your analyses are always spot on, but I love that you understand when you run across some truly beautiful and remarkable music and sit back and enjoy it. Anyways, keep doing what you're doing, brother.

TOTALLY agree! I'm not a musician by any means, I don't play any instrument and I think the reaction videos are just...who cares. But this guy...LOVE his videos. Don't know what it is about his videos that draw me in more than any other...maybe because he really is a musician himself, maybe his reaction feels real and genuine...first video I watched of his was reaction to Tyler Childers "Nose to on the Grindstone" and he looked like he was crying! From that point I was like " this dude understands, he gets it" beautiful, story telling music.

Another NC resident here who shares the same sentiment as the person who requested this. I heard this song for the first time back in ‘17. Loved it. Listened to the whole album many times. I then decided to cover this tune in a set I played in Shelby, NC. Actually playing it live I got choked up and almost cried. Weird experience but I felt like it was a long overdue apology for the way I used to behave and things I used to say. To the person who requested this, “of the times” is hitting the nail right on the head.

The poetry of this song is amazing. In very, very few words it portrays the Confederate experience in a "from the inside" sort of way in the first verse. Then the second verse sets the listener up for a surprise-- "too much money rolled in to ever end slavery". The third verse's "pride has a way..." speaks to us all about our Lost Cause legacy and points to its fallacy. The fourth verse allows for the retention of being a son of the South without having to be a supporter of secession/racism---- all that, and "the day old Warren died hate shoulda gone with him" gives us an opportunity to be rid of all that mess. Such a beautiful song. And so, SO smartly crafted.
