  • I have to think about my life now.

  • broke my young heart...

  • @akENGINSEER I loved watching that albino punk die

  • @7mikethebike i think he is Jacks from Sons Of Anarchy

  • Though I agree that this movie was pretty bad, there's no reason to be insulting towards the people that DID like it. Have some fucking respect for the opinions of others.

  • 'in the south we dont sing we sang'

  • i missed is real music better music today got me start cry

  • this is the kind of music that I love to play. Down to earth sounds that you can sit in a circle with your friends and play for no one but yourselves. This type of music has that sense of home in it, it's beautiful. No giant production companies, no effects, no computers..just a guitar, a fiddle a bottle of wine and some soul.

  • I am a young black man born in Queens, NY and this song truly stirs my souls to the core. Talent is talent no matter where when and who!!!

  • @jennybny Well said. Couldn't agree moe. No irony, no self-conciously 'clever' lyics, just pure beauty, truth and soul.

  • Such a poignant and evocative song! Truly beautiful and melancholic.

  • Such simple and beautiful music from the heart and soul.

  • have every song on this soundtrack on my ipod and fucking love all em

  • true to me my love died with my baby inside

  • Beautiful music, really captures emotion, love it!

  • I LOVE this bluegrass type of music and fiddle music really makes my heart swell.

  • ok i was very unhappy rite now but when i herd this song i feel so much better for some reason its so crazy

  • sing me sweet....

  • I'm not all big in country music... for a fact I only like Taylor Swift when it comes to country. But daymn, I love this song!♥

  • Great last song.

  • I 'm Irish born and raised, lived in Ga for 22 years and love the south! I'd like to think that I'm reliving the lives of many Irish men whom have lived and died for the south.

  • @kpgTV scots

  • @kpgTV Nice comment, but more Irish fought for the Union than for the Confederacy.

  • Great Soundtrack. An honest film that portrays an average Southerner during the nation's worst time.

  • This was a powerful song

  • i couldnt give a fuck who came from who this song is great

  • We are the Dead. Short days ago

    We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,

    Loved and were loved, and now we lie,

    In Flanders fields.

    Take up our quarrel with the foe:

    To you from failing hands we throw

    The torch; be yours to hold it high.

    If ye break faith with us who die

    We shall not sleep, though poppies grow

    In Flanders fields.

  • American by birth. Southern by the grace of God.

  • My familys been in the south since before the United States was created.

    On that side of the family I English Irish and Scottish though Im pretty sure the Irish and Scottish blood is more recent maybe 1820s?

    Still pretty neat.

    Now Im in Texas family moved here after we lost the Civil war.

    Been here since the 1870s

  • @TexianPride lol You'r as american as one can be

  • @RalhaLamy2 Pretty much lol

    Very proud of my herritage :)

  • @TexianPride That's cool! But you don´t own a confederate flag or anything like that do you? ;)

  • @RalhaLamy2 I have owned a few in the past.

    As of right now I only have the first national and a regimental flag.

    A friend of mine wanted my battle flag so I let him have it a year back.

    I think the first national doesent have the controversy on it and its better to fly it then the battle flag during these crazy times lol

    Dont want to get shot by some ignorant jack ass

  • @TexianPride But why?! Are you for Southern independence?

  • @RalhaLamy2 Because I respect and honor my ancestors and the struggles they went through in the 1860s and I respect and admire my familys bravery in standing against a nation many times larger and fighting for what the believed in.

    I also have a US flag which I fly to honor my family members who fought in the American Revolution, WW1, WW2 and Vietnam.

    I have been supportive of Independance in the past but Id much rather the US just get its crap together so we could stay :)

  • @TexianPride i have a very family heritage similar story except my new state is Colorado

  • Comment removed

  • A melhor música do filme.

  • Atheist, ex-southern baptist, decendent of Unionist from Eastern Tennessee and lifelong Texan. I truely love this stuff

  • TARHEEL BOYS, n.c and her blood will forever live!

  • im an asian,but after listening to this song,i think i've borned in south carolina

  • Same here Wizard. 'Deo Vindice'

  • Southren Pride and always will be, From South Carolina much love for my heritage. They even filmed some of this movie in my state so that explains it haha...

  • @MonkeyMoNk2008 deo vindice from virginia

  • saw the film yesterday and hadn't seen it for years ...i forgot how amazing it was =D i'm learning this song at the moment even though i'm irish.. i absolutely love the music in this film !! =D

  • @rk8594 dont forget the vast majority of southerners of this period could trace their heritage to ireland and scottland

  • I'm an atheist. I'm not southern (truly). But I grew up listening to this music...it has left an impression on me and I cannot leave it. I love bluegrass... my friends think I'm silly, but I love his stuff. Somehow, wherever I go, I always enjoy bluegrass.

  • Dixie be..amen brother

  • nice but sad scene :((...but PERFECT MOVIE :)

  • Southern Pride

  • the people that have five dislikes on this thinks that B4IRUTUARU16 is right

  • the master of life gave us this place for use to light our fires, and here we shall remain

  • Go sit high on a mountain...A let rebel glory fly!!!

  • I love living in the south!!!! <3<3<3

  • pefect for red dead i love the south

  • Great great great movie.

  • this song is a scotts irish song from the old country if you you know your history the scotts irish came to this country and settled in the appalachian mountians.

  • @theAwesomeGerman...cont....bu­t if you really want to learn about terrorists, I suggest you emark on a study of the conduct of Federal troops during the war, especially late war. And then for your post-war reading, don't forget about a study of Reconstruction and the Union League.

  • @mountainclimber78 I am not saying that Federal troops did not do the bad things, just in this movie, it maybe suggested that there were small cases of Homeguard doing such things.... sorry if it appeared like I was trying to make such a bold statement, but also I said that it is the greed of an individual group of Homeguard not all of them....

  • @TheAwesomeGerman ...Fair enough.

  • @mountainclimber78 thank you for your kindness.

  • @theAwesomeGerman...good for you for being from California. Good luck with that State budget of you'uns'. I'm curious to know your sources you cite in claiming that members of Southern Home Guards were 'greedy, cowards, and terrorists'. This is a bizarre statement especially made by anyone who has any kind of a grasp on the history of that war. I'm guessing you really don't. But, anyway, do tell.

  • Comment removed

  • @B4IRUTARU16...you're right about that.  Parents in the Appalachians need to turn off their TV's, and immerse their kids in their own culture and teach them to appreciate this music of their ancestors, not the empty non-culture of modern America.

  • @mountainclimber78 I am from California and this music is awesome to me....

  • @mountainclimber78 I totally agree with you and B4IRUTARU16... I'm not even from the Appalachian area but I feel American folk music and culture in general is a beautiful thing and should be encouraged to be taught before it's lost for good... I can't imagine songs like this being lost in a few hundred years...

  • This is a good movie, but the author understood that in order to have a novel made into a movie in this subject, you have to portray Southerners as backward, Southern troops as criminals. A study of the history of the Appalachians will show how it wasn't Southern home guard troops that terrorized THEIR OWN PEOPLE in this region, but instead it was Federal troops who committed the majority of atrocities. When you start reading the real personal accounts, you realize Cold Mountain is fiction.

  • @mountainclimber78 you cannot say that it never happened though because it was the greed and cowardice of the HomeGuard that made them terrorists

  • This song makes me wish I was a singing hillbilly with a hauntingly melodious voice sittin on my porch rocker lookin out over the mountains with my banjo and fiddle playin kin.

  • But still I hope, but still I hope, the time will come,

    When you and I shall be as one.

  • this is such an amazing song, i´ve cried when i heard it first time.

    please, are there some similar song to this, or similar to all soundtrack from Cold Mountain.

  • @diaspen Search in the genre Appalchian Blue Grass

  • 5 people wish the South had won

  • Comment removed

  • this song is truly awesome

  • Please, OH PLEASE, come out with another civil war movie! They have all been amazing! Gettysburg, Gods and Generals, Cold Mountain, Glory. All of them! They were great! I just love history so that's why I want more of them lol

  • to eithermadorbrilliant, what are you talking about???? Have you ever had to make your way through life with out someones help.... That is what the early Americans had to do. Their was no government to bail them, out, you had to make do or not survive. All we have in this life is God, And I am thankful of that!

  • Hey people. I'm someone from very far away. All I know about American culture comes from TV or Hollywood. I must say that I'm not crazy about American culture but I like this kind of music very very much. What is this music called? Not country I think because it sounds completely different...Looking forward to your replies...

  • @eduruk

    its appalachian blue grass started in the mountains of the carolinas and tennesse

  • @eduruk It's called "old mtn music" or bluegrass-it comes from the mtns of north, south

    carolina, virginia, north georgia, kentucky & tennessee--its where our irish&scotts ancestors

    settled & they brought their songs w/them

  • @rainharper62

    Thank you for your reply. Do you happen to know; is this song a historic song or composed for the concerned movie?

  • @rainharper62 --eduruk,this song is a historic song first recorded for smithsonian folkways by derrick chandler, the verses tho were re-constructed & written by tim o'brian & couple of other guys--No-they did not write the music-only the verses--The wrote the verses for the movie Cold Mountain -If they claim they did, thats stealing!!

  • @eduruk hello im john ive was born in west virginia and no its not like those crazy movies like rong tun that movie wasnt even filmed here. anyways blue grass has very long root in this state and country as well as old folk music most are songs passed down from generation to generation. most people who settled in this country moved to the appalachine mountains or close to were they first settled and later spread out further our music comes from many cultures and back grounds. thanks and enjoy

  • This song is so heartwarming :')

  • This is pure amazing singing along with the sounds of a banjo and fiddle...I can't stand auto-tune mostly because it isn't singing...this is singing

  • how is it possible to dislike this?!

    fucking techno hip hop disco flo rida bieber rapper hippy junkies

    forgive me im just a sucker for this song

  • Not a big country song, but this song was stunning

  • we all know slavery is and was wrong, but it doesn't take away the heritage all southerners share...not every white southern person owned slaves, in fact most did not and they did not fight the civil war to keep slaves but to fight off what they saw as an invading army and culture.

  • 5 dislikes have beiber fever

  • @B4IRUTUARU16 Why... in... the... fuck... are you talking about justin beiber. And who would thumbs up this?

  • @GoodRockinBrown dude why you commenting on a 9 month old comment?

    There shouldn't be any talk of that kid anymore, postive or negative

  • @B4IRUTUARU16 Well I read it about 9 months ago, along with your other 20 comments about "the kid". And don't worry about how I am delivering you from evil. After all I'm on a mission from God.

  • My Heritage. ill be Southren till the day i die.

  • @WizardThaSnake Lucky!!!! 

  • @WizardThaSnake amen brother

  • @WizardThaSnake I'll drink to that 

  • @WizardThaSnake Ahmen man

  • @WizardThaSnake I understand the where bluegrass is from but I am from Northern Wisconsin, I'll be Northern till I die. I love bluegrass. It runs deep to me.

  • @mikelewer

    this isn't bluegrass :) it's old-time. Bluegrass is much more modern and is characterised by its speed. I completely agree with you, this music is the closest thing to magic we have.

  • gives me chills!!!!

  • whats this song about? 

  • im not a fan of country music but i will take a hillbilly ( no offence) fiddel anyday of the week man i love the slow sad ones i love this song

  • @TroutDancert Dont you also think its a time honoured excuse for war, even today, against those who just dont want no part of the stripey banner? Except nowadays its "Weapons of Mass Destruction" and not slavery that is the excuse for their aggression.

  • It's so sad, what's this song about?

  • fuckin beautiful

  • i live just bout 1 and 1/2 hour from cold mountain at Phoenix Mt up here in Ashe. I love this place and this song is so buetiful

  • Rachen, the Democrats at one time were pro gun ownership and advocated strong state governments and a small Federal one. And they were the avante guard of conservatism. The two parties have flip flopped. The Republicans of Lincoln's time were the big government control freaks until the the middle of the 20th century. Disgusted with both parties I am a staunch registered Libertarian and and a proud Southerner.

  • Rachen, the first city in the US to ban guns was New York City . It was and still is called the Sullivan Act

  • There were two Oriental Confederate soldiers from North Carolina. They were Christopher and Stephen Bunker, two of the sons of Chang And Eng Bunker, the famous Siamese Twins.

  • BEAUTIFUL ♥

  • broke my young heart

  • You should have heard this very song played on a Key West beach by a group of truckers and train men who decided to camp there for the night before heading north to Knob Creek Gun Range :D I wish I was better with the banjo. I am still waorking on it.

  • This is one of my fav movies along with Gone With The Wind...I am getting ready to have a baby and I want to buy the soundtrack so I can play it for the baby...=)

  • Great song

  • THREE  SUPERSTARS!

  • Fav Song from the movie,...this part was really sad!

  • The best movie I ever seen

    et qui me fait toujours pleurer ♥

  • I love this music, it's so sad .... but very real

  • The owl, the owlIs a lonely bird

    It chills my heart

    With dread and terror

    That someone's blood

    There on his wing

    That someone's blood

    There on his feather.

  • 1 of the top movies ever made. Just fantastic.

  • A band called Greenland is Melting does a version of this song.

  • this song and movie takes me right home. being from the moutains of eastern ky this is how my family really lived back in those days. everytime i go home there's still some old timers pickin on their porch with some buddies, that's music right there!!!

  • @kyboots99 That's some nice memories. Mountain life is about the best living anywhere. I found that it "depends on the people though" proper wit if you know what i mean. Just going camping in the mountains with people can really tell who's with it . The Rocky Mountain College, where a days survival is a passing grade.

  • Till the sweet apple grows on a sour apple tree

  • Bella canzone, triste ma bella

  • im not a country/folk music listener . but this song here is one of the best ive ever heard , and when i finally get laid to rest , i want this song played ...

  • @louchy12345 I can conpletely agree with you on this.

    Well, other than I really like Ain True Love more~

  • Fuck LA and all of California for that matter!

  • the redneck term blows me away. i was born and raised in southern california in the CITY . i now own a home in southeast missouri and these people here are soooo much kinder and respectful than anyone i ever met in cali . to all you people living in the city , HOW MANY OF YOUR NEIGHBORS DO YOU SPEAK TO ON A DAILY BASIS ?? im friends with all of mine . i would choose this life over the city life anyday .

  • @GMANS89GT I live up in the Blue Ridge NC people are like that here. Its nice

  • @GMANS89GT You're awesome. I live in the suburbs of Baltimore and D.C. and I get so pissed at how everything is considered redneck. I'm definately gonna settle down south when I'm older.

  • good shit

  • my 4 year old son does not know English, I sing him this song as a lullaby, he likes her very much. me too. Greetings from Poland.

  • This is such a haunting song - one you can never forget. Thanks for posting!

  • The Uncle Tupelo version of this song is amazing. Very well done.

  • "But still I hope the time will come when you and I shall be as One"... I really do so ACVV... Te quiero tanto...

  • ok i can hear now :Dw

  • The term redneck originated from west va. coal miners wearing red bandanas around their necks as a show of unity when fighting against the corrupt mining companies they work for.

  • @Vlagon pretty sure redneck refers to the sunburnt necks of those who toiled in the feilds.

  • @ricketydoodah

    I took a class on Apppalachian history at UVa. The term redneck refers to a group of West Va. miners who placed red bandanas around their necks as a symbol of unity. But I am sure there are other meanings of the term as well. It stands to reason as many people who toiled in the fields of the east and southern US that redneck had other uses. Thanks Vlagon

  • i like this song but its sad =(

  • love this song :)

  • a very good song

    like it very much

  • SWEET! All I can say

  • I wish I lived in this time.

  • me too.

  • what are you talking about there were no rednecks back then, and if there were they are nothing like the ones today, today they are just idiots who want to kill everything that moves and mount it on their Ford truck.

  • Study your damnable history.

    There have always been city folk, country folk and 'Good Lord, have they ever bathed' folk.

    Most of the people that settled the frontiers of America were people who only knew how to kill everything that moved and hang some part of the animal on their wall.

    Not trying to raise hell or anything, but rednecks are smart in ways that you just won't see.

  • When shit hits the fan, rednecks shall prevail

  • @eithermadorbrilliant yep, extremely resourceful, and know how to survive in their own harmony, what else could you want

  • @eithermadorbrilliant its not even a matter of smartness when it comes to hanging animals, its respect, its comes from native traditions, to respect the animal and be truely greatful you must use everypart of the animal

  • @Patriot4300212016 When shit hits the fan, do you know who will end up saving you? An American patriot with a rifle. Do you even know where the term redneck come from? It's from people whose necks are sunburned from working on the farm in the blazing sun everyday. A redneck is a true hard worker, American to the fucking core, and who will defend liberty and freedom to the death.

  • @Rachen30 "who will defend liberty and freedom to death."explain the civil war, race riots the jim crow laws, and president Bush jr then. don't worry i'll wait

  • @NEWnibitches Civil War had nothing to do with slavery. Slavery was a scapegoat. The war was for states' rights. Over 20,000 blacks served in the Confederate army. The sniper who killed 14 Yankee officers at Fredericksburg was black. One of Forrest's cavalry officers was Chinese. Jim Crow laws were passed by FASCIST white supremacists who were no different than Hitler and his thugs, so don't even try.

  • @Rachen30 true there were more things going on than just the end of slavery that triggered the civil war but say that the civil had NOTHING to do with slavery is sheer ignorance. as for the 20000 blacks that served on the confederate side. it was 20,000 out of 1,064,000. the jim crow laws were passed IN THE SOUTH specifically starting in MISSISSIPPI. i know schools are worse these days but do you type or slam your face into the keyboard hoping its on topic?

  • @NEWnibitches Jim Crow laws were passed in the south but it was passed by the same collectivist fuckers that passed gun control laws saying black folks can't carry guns. The maggots of these same collectivist scum are the same ones trying to confiscate and tax our guns and ammo today. So racists and gun control supporters are same pieces of shit in my opinion. Schools? I left school after high school for good. Too much leftist bullshit.

  • @Rachen30 I've never known any black that didn't have a gun, Rachen,

  • @TroutDancert The first gun control laws were passed in Mississippi in the postbellum South, by Democratic lawmakers who did not want freedmen to be armed. They were not enforced that much, because the Democrats' top priority was to intimidate Republicans and terrify the general populace. The Gun Control ordinance of 1866 passed in Alabama specified "persons of color" cannot bear arms, and all others must register their weapons with their counties.

  • @TroutDancert Democrats have always been obsessed with keeping weapons out of the hands of the people they rule and oppress, and they are still doing it today, though today, they want to disarm us all.

  • @NEWnibitches (continued) Why spend money to the socialist leech of the college system and get a worthless degree when I make far more money than doctors or lawyers by hauling iron ore in my semi from the Badlands of N Dakota to processing facilities and ports on the east and west coasts. Truckers like me make FAR more money than those with so called "degrees", and we have the career safest from lay-offs and whatnot, because we are our own bosses.

  • Comment removed

  • @Rachen30 stay on topic. we weren't talking about modern political bullshit were were talking about whether or not slavery and racism were causes in the civil war.

  • @NEWnibitches You mentioned schools, so I must let you know how I feel about the school system.

  • amazing
