I forgot this song existed for well over a decade, remembered it today for some reason and put it on in the car, just about brought a tear to my eye. I'd forgotten how beautiful and haunting it is, and now that I'm an adult I can understand the meaning and how deeply he feels about the everglades.

I asked if we could take a picture together he said yes. We started talking and 30 minutes later we shook hands and hugged each other. He made me feel like we knew each other for years. John Anderson is one of the most considerate and down home person I have ever met!

There are some songs that just rise up, strike you and never leave....."The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald", "Shuttin Detroit Down" and "Seminole Wind" are three examples as they describe heartfelt loss. Hopefully more people will hear Osceola cry before it is too late.....

My husband and I are die-hard rock fans (to a point, it depends on who they are), and we discovered a new country station in Minnesota that plays country like this. They also play folk and stuff, but this song made us want to pay attention; we listen to this station as much as we can now. I'm sick of the same old crap they play on these rock stations sometimes, what a great refreshing change.

it's more about what John Anderson wrote this song about which is entitled about in the song from start to finish. it's about every member of his band that shares his passion for his existence on this planet we call earth. it doesn't have anything to do with any of the musicians , it's about all the musicians doing their own thing all at once end creating one of the most prolific and creative songs in this bands prime. every musician giving in 1000% of every bit of their talent together and yes i will agree that this violin is one of the best, creative artists like this can go anywhere and instill his brand of talent to any band be it country, rock n roll or country. there's no room for his talent in the rap scene because rap isn't about making music, it's about turning our kids against society and starting a movement that supports drugs guns and murder.

John Anderson wrote this song as a Florida native. His heart, like mine, must have broken from seeing all the destruction of the natural Florida. The phosphate mining was ugly, but when the land was mined and restored by the mining companies, the alligators, gar fish, snapping turtles, osprey, bald eagles and great blueherons moved right back in as the land re-naturalized. I grew up in central Florida in Polk County in the late 1960s when they started draining the Green Swamp and other areas. The land that is now Disney World and all the other "theme parks" was all drained by a huge system of canals. All the development around Orlando started with Disney, I remember as a young boy seeing the wild butterfly orchids growing on the cypress trees as my brothers and I pushed a jon boat through the swamp on our land. I would later see slabs cut off cypress trees with the orchid plants being sold to tourists. I remember it angering me so, even as a child, because I knew it meant the tree was killed where it stood. Even today, areas of young cypress trees are being cut down and shredded for cypress mulch and sold at Home Depot. The land under Disney World and all the other development is lost forever.

I heard it for the first time, as me and my Dad drove down a dirt road with a couple bass in the cooler. I had never seen my dad catch a good fish til that day. He said it was all he ever wanted, to catch a couple nice fish with me. As we left the huge pond right by my house, we heard this song. We bonded over it and never forgot it. Forwards 6 months and the pond that I bonded with my dad, and kayaked with both of my sons on, is being drained. I actually cried. I caught so many fish and made memories with sons and father there. My shitty HOA is going to build over that beautiful pond, where we’d catch big bass, slab crappie, and 3 lb bullhead catfish. This song predicted what would happen to us, the first time we heard it.
