[Hippiemom3]

I absolutely LOVE this. I stummbled upon these amazing ladies about a month ago and cant get enough!! They need to head to PA!

[NINJEIRA]

Peace,love,expression....thank you for you and reminding us that we can be free from our fears to be significant.

[mtofas]

Outstanding! You are of my tribe for sure... we speak the same language and see the same things...Scale down and simplify....find time to know thyself and be the divine part of this creation that you are, wholesomely and with an open heart, vibrate, create, expound, dance and demonstrate the alignment you have found, Be and manifest the one love we share....Thankyou for sharing the treasures that you've come to be. Excellent people.....

[Jnwdarkmatter]

She is beautiful! dreads and all... oh, by the way, I think that dreads are really fucking gross!

[bennyghazi]

@Jnwdarkmatter

I think you're beautiful, personality and all, and oh by the way, I think you're personality is really fucking gross.

[Jnwdarkmatter]

@bennyghazi What the hell is your problem? I happen to know, from my boyfriend once having dread-locks that they are dirty and gross!. My point was that she is gorgeous and so, so talented, despite something that I normally do not find real attractive! Maybe, before you jump to conclusions, you might try to think about how dreads are formed and then re-read my post one more time! Or just get a grip!

[bennyghazi]

@Jnwdarkmatter sounds like your boyfriend was dirty and gross. before you jump to conclusions and make a generalization based on your one-time anecdotal experience, you should get a grip and understand that most dredlocks are clean, if maintenanced properly. just like any other hair. 

[awakebythesea]

I cannot thank you enough for your abundant truth and soul. this makes me feel goooooooooood!

[ivannagutina]

so good. come to NYC!!! <3

[kbray003]

*love*



[BabyGirlGoddess]

white people with dreadlocks are all the same lol

[vidfuse]

i was looking for some good protest footage and found this, I can't stop listening and watching, very original

[marcelasolera]

Heart heart Heart!!!!

[surfnc88221]

it would be fantastic to have you guys hopefully come to wilmington nc area i been wanting to see them live for a long time and meet them cause their cousin actually turn me on to listening to them so i been listening to them for years and love their sound, soul, and way of life.

[Hideninsight]

You guys need to all stop bitching, life's tough people die and get killed and your complaining about some fucking lyrics, If you don't like it that's great dislike the damn video and move on If you do that's cool to, but don't preach like your on a goddamn high horse. If you want change stop sitting at your fucking computer posting comments and act, go to fuckin wall-street and petition or sum shit, but don't talk shit over a computer. To many goddamn kids need to grow the fuck up.

[barlenem]

Beautiful!

[jimmysquareeyes]

You are revolutionising my soul.

[2minstral]

I really love the music and expressions! I'm an instant fan and participator. 8O)

[squarepusher303]

[Max2Ace]

Criticism is so much easier than creation.

Haters just have to hate.

how sad for them.

[Pilgrim041588]

absolutely beautiful. thank you from california.

[Antimorphic]

I am in love. What a find this group is!!!!

[jollygreenspartan]

Good to see the rise of Appalachian music in greater America taking place on the web.

[DeemTheVSL]

New Albion NY. Power spot!

[brucethedruid]

Very nice. Magical song of yore.

[chanmoss]

all the plants in my living room started dancing when i played this

[TheEpiphysis3]

@chanmoss -- heheheh .... and what did the vegetation do???

[bobbenxxx]

And to think i saw theese girls live just a week ago, hah <3 :)

[bahbcat]

Nice voices.

[Thebritsym]

wow, some of you are getting way too offended, do you have anything better to do but criticize someone else's art? Who the fuck cares what your perspective on who's "privileged" and who's "not" is. They are sending a powerful message to man and women in AMERICA right now, yes we know things are prefect here right now and their message is obviously stating that. pay attention, wake up. Everybody's got a lot to say about everybody else.

[karonvick]

@Thebritsym couldnt have said it better!

[shinoniakuma]

@Thebritsym exactly..

[karonvick]

@Thebritsym well spoken people need to get over themselves for real! How can anything thats a positive msg be bad!

[SpaceShipWarrior]

@Thebritsym Things aint perfect whos singing? Sounds like an adervert

[RisingAppalachiaRA]

Dear fans, friends & foes.It is quite a phenomenon to observe so much debate on our creative interpretation.Having grown up in the urban south, being filled with its prowess and pain, our creative outlet has naturally found its home in performance.Raised between southern folk art, hiphop and Appalachia,I think there is no effort to do anything other than tell our tale as we see it.Thankyou to those who understand our language.Perhaps to those that dont:you are simply getting lost in translation

[Hockeyjason]

@Thebritsym

Fuck ya!! We have two ears and one mouth so listen twice as much as you speak.

[MrJbadass]

There's none but ourselves to make this thing last, none but ourselves...  That's the sweetest line I've heard to date. Lovin that sweet hippy groove vibe. Hope they keep it comin

[midgetwithstrapon]

thumbs up if u want a hispanic-youtube for lame El-Guapo-Gibberish-Comments..

God I loath the shitty french/spanish/fucktarded comments..

[poprokk]

6 people have never really listened to this song :)

[smujismuj]

channeling Ani

[MrTimaines]

@theblackestcrow .. Go tell that to the Mayans ,,consumption is a big part of life.

[zizwool]

@theblackestcrow So why are you 'friends' with these 'privileged class hippies' then if you dislike the fact that it's mommy and daddy' that makes their way of life possible?

[LifeIsGoodLydie]

I had great pleasure translating this artist. J'ai eu grand plaisir à la traduire:

Levez-vous. Regardez autour de vous et pondérez aussi.

Levez-vous. Regardez autour de vous et pondérez aussi.

Je crois en une révolution

Et je crois qu’elle est à portée de main

Je crois en ses grosses mains qui forcent tous les jours sur demande

[LifeIsGoodLydie]

Car il y a 500 ans

Quand ces arbres étaient plus denses

Et de couleurs pristines afin de donner du sens au chaos

Personne ne pouvait prévoir la perte d'une montagne entière

D'une montagne que j'appelle demeure

Et ces mêmes collines qui ont roulé d’année en année

Sans mentioner qu’elles disparaitraient ou a qui elles appartiendraient

[LifeIsGoodLydie]

Et ces mêmes montagnes étaient l’écho de la paix

Longtemps avant d’être prises au lasso

Et maintenant ça aussi c’est presque parti.

Alors qu’avons-nous accompli en tant que civilisation?

Détruit dans nos propres sillages

Cette main très métaphorique qui nous nourrit

Nous saccageons notre propre gâteau d'anniversaire.

Et je me considère un sceptique

Mais une optimiste dans l'âme.

[LifeIsGoodLydie]

Et on nous nourrit de force Et trainant comme le taureau Il est énorme et remplit de rage Pourtant d'une manière ou d'une autre soumis Et tiré par ces anneaux épais Pour ne pas vous coincer dehors La vérité déplaisante et collante des choses Mais putain sortez de vos voitures La marche c’est bon pour vous Arrêtez de consommer aveuglement Et ne faites qu’avec ce dont vous avez besoin Et ensuite pondérez

[LifeIsGoodLydie]

Jetez-vous un bon coup d'oeil Tout commence là Chacun a beaucoup à dire sur chacun d’ autres Mais c'est nos fautes qui ont toujours tendance à fondre Loin et viennent se faner dans cette critique de qui est la faute qui est a blâmé qui a tord Mais chacun de nous faitt quelque chose ( a sa part) trop dure trop vite trop longtemps Et il n'y a personne d’autres que nous pour faire durer ces choses. Oui il n'y a personne d’autres que nous pour faire durer ces choses.

[LifeIsGoodLydie]

Donc tout commence là

Jetez-vous un bon coup d'oeil.

Levez-vous. Regardez autour de vous et pondérez aussi

Tout commence là

Jetez-vous un long bon coup d'oeil.

Levez-vous. Regardez autour de vous et pondérez aussi

[LifeIsGoodLydie]

I love discovering new young artist and their unique way to speak and share their heart. Merci de partager. j'ai traduis.

[rskrules]

eh. I'd do her.

[marcycooketal]

@PneumaB - I would never trust ANYONE who uses the phrase 'trust me.' - not to offend, but you sound angry. The music and the voices are lovely / dreamy / groovy and I totally dig it.

[PneumaB]

@theblackestcrow I am not at all trying to be confrontational but, in the song the sisters sing about how we all tend to POINT THE FINGER and place judgement and blame for problems on others, and Instead of doing that, we should look within ourselves, and change. Which is the exact opposite of your judgemental statement... You completely missed the message... Its about changing and stregthing self FIRST...

And how can you judge their consumption level off of a video??

[itsrowantime]

play at shambala!

[IFoundMyWings]

Where can I get the download for this? I can't find this version of the song on itunes.

[samlamammasmanna]

@IFoundMyWings just use any youtube-mp3 converter :)

[ivannagutina]

how beautiful!!!!

[Lordbaccus]

cant believe i found yall on a street corner in NOLA (=

Look forward to seeing yall live

[bonnieprinceandy]

White hippies appropriating indigenous culture.

[huhwtf88]

@bonnieprinceandy thanks for telling it like it is

[fscafidi]

I love this song.

greating from holland ;-)

[caitfrie]

this is fucking amazing, as an artist myself of a completely different genre, i love it!, i would love this instrumental or to vibe with these people, shouts from

-DAVID KORESH FROM CULT CLASSIC

THE BEST HIP HOP YOU'VE NEVER HEARD!

[jamieknaps]

me like

[TheHarleqwin]

Talented, but not my thing. It's like a hippy rant put to jazz. I liked it, but only once I started ignoring the lyrics as anything except music.

[BettiePage06]

@TheHarleqwin people ignoring what they are trying to say in this song is everything that's wrong with the world. thanks for making it more difficult for the rest of us. Good luck being ignorant.

[TheHarleqwin]

@BettiePage06 Making what more difficult, and how? Explain how my comment was ignorant. I said it was talented, but not for me. It sounds preachy, and could've been better. My comment certainly didn't deserve an attack.

[ArianArisian]

rising appalachia is my favorite band hands down. we are from the same home town and i used to watched them preform in the early days before they were famous. leah cloe i love u guys

[80swhore]

Amazingly beautiful .

[miamigarner]

wow I need some more of that

[billystewart2010]

what's the deal? can't take criticism? this phony shit sucks

[billystewart2010]

this is certainly some annoying pretentious weak-voiced wannabe crapola...please stop ....

[mybigtoeisnumber1]

[Clematisian]

……. Such major awesomeness … Thanks muchly, Michael, for the heads-up … Namasté, y'all! ~ (•8-D

[iluvchasingalaska]

[piepiesmilez22]

This is my fiance's crush!!

[poziar]

love to had met you in zion park by the river ! ;)

[tobalcainalhambra]

Where can i find the lyrics? I just cant understand it all.

[bigapple2625]

This noise made my ears hurt. BTW...what is the message that this occult is trying to get across?

[ecofaeries]

I can't play this enough. You girls make my heart beat a whole lot faster. Thankyou so much for you. Inspiring goddesses!!!

[queenoftheuniversify]

Oh my goodness. I just love this! I hope to see Leah and Chloe onstage one day. Until then, I play their music endlessly, and watch their vids often. The world needs more inspiration like this... very healing.

[antwanbenjamin]

Who ever gave this vid a dislike is a hater of music and Mother Earth! "Get the F--- out yer car, walk is good for you..."

[Kimberlyvana]

Excellent, this song resonates with me and I love this video. What an amazing inspiring song and message they bring ~ rock on sistahhhs

[tasaraJ]

I'm all for the cause and the music/vocal are superb but I wish the video has some actual content expressing why they think change needs to happen, rather than images of tribal bling. Instead of being inspired to change one's life, the visuals seem to be more about how sexy these women look. Appropriate that barbie would be figured. my 2 cents.

[SanChristoA]

Not only "yeah" but "hell yeah"

[TheTrick666]

Crazy Amazing!! Thank you!

[PsychedelicRiver]

They are comming to my town, Sofia next week! I really would like to see them live!
