YMSB - 2006-10-28 pt1 40 Miles From Denver

[RednecksRoundup]

Whoa ooh oh life is better there!

[2footbonger]

cant wait to see them at Telluride Bluegrass this summer!!!

[ElevenDrops]

I'm seeing them next month in Chicago :) two day pass.

[kagemusha776]

I agree.. the mispronunciation of Appalachian annoys me. Though this song is pretty awesome.

[nicedreams666]

@kagemusha776 I'm not sure what you mean, I don't live to far from (at least part of) the Appalachian trail, and I've never heard it pronounced any different from the way he said it.

[Sasquatchy]

@nicedreams666 I've lived in Tennessee all my life and I thought i knew how to say it too. When i moved to Knoxville for school i learned i was pronouncing it wrong. He is mispronouncing it. It's supposed to have a strong ch sound, not a sh sound.

[skidoo541]

@kagemusha776

I guess it depends where your from like anything else, Most of NYS, PA, and New England are technically in the Appalachian Mountains(Blue Ridge, Allegheny, Allegany(NY) Adirondack, Catskill, Bristols, Green, Taconic, White, Longfellow, etc) and Im sure we say it much different than the folks down south, anyway great song!

[theprimeform]

Puddles and Yonder mix well.

[musnikki]

The only thing I don't like about this song is that it's about going east....colorado is awesome.

[gb342002]

@musnikki listen to the lyrics.. hes trying to get back!! :)

[cosmoglassworks]

The three people that dislike this have no soul.

[leif3023]

can't wait to see them again on the 27th at RED ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ilovelolliepopsXD]

going to see then on june 4:))

[00HAZ]

Amazing!

[deitydhskater]

40 miles from denver thats about castle rock i lived there i think there talkin about me

[SL04]

I live in Louisville. Almost everyone here pronounces it loouh-vull. Two syllables, really.

Speaking of, YMSB are playing here at Headliner's tomorrow night!

[stmbt22]

It's pronounced Louis-ville...idiots

[teufulhund420]

My dad grew up in Louisville and they all refer to it as lou-u-vul. Although I have heard it every other way. YMSB Rocks!!!

[wholewheatbagel]

home of where the grass is dyed

[MrTeamoney2]

i just looked at the comments what the hell are ya'll talking about?? this song is the shiz period

[Winst0ned]

wow .... i dont like you

[a42579]

I spent the last five years in Kentucky and heard both pronunciations. Of course, people are real insistent that the first city of Kentucky is pronounced Loo-u-vill.

[BananaBreadMakesMe]

I've only heard it as "loo-e-vull".

[chillinchillin912]

ive lived in kentucky all my life, (western kentucky, mccracken county) everybody around here says loo-u-vull, ive heard it pronounced lou-e-vill on the local news before, lou-e-vill just sounds weird to me though

[Rjc0316]

im from georgia tambien, its Appa-lay-shun

[Rjc0316]

you dont have to study catholic theology to know 40 is commonly used in the bible.. these guys dont seem very religious, haha

[NaturalBornPredator]

I've always heard it pronounced it Appa- LAy- shun. And im from Georgia.

Yonder Mountain String Band will change your life if you see them live!

[mrskjellyfetti]

I like this song... except that they pronounce Appalachian wrong.

App-uh-LATCH-uhn !!

Argh, pet peeve of mine.

[BananaBreadMakesMe]

I have never heard it pronounced like that, and I live right beside it.

[smeagul360]

you are absolutly correct it is really. i dont live next to the app-uh-latch-uhn mountian i live in them. anybody from the mountains will tell yall how to say it right .

o yea yonder is SICK seen to many times to count.

not trying to piss anyone off just trying to inform.

peace and love

[rvafilm]

In northern U.S. dialects the cultural region of Appalachia is pronounced /æpəˈleɪʃ(i)ə/, also /æpəˈleɪtʃ(i)e/, all with a third syllable like "lay". In southern U.S. dialects, the mountains are called the [æ.pəˈlæ.tʃənz], and the cultural region of Appalachia is pronounced [ˈ[æ.pəˈlæ.tʃ(i)ə]]. The third syllable is like the "la" in "latch".[7][8] This pronunciation is favored in the "core" region in central and southern parts of the Appalachian range.

From wikipedia.

[packmandane]

In The Mountains, it is in fact App-a-latch-uh. Just like in California, Long Beach is LongBeach.

Trust a yokel from the mountains.

[chucklesthebarnrat]

If ya like Yonder Mountain maybe you will dig us. ;)

[benner8674]

i have seen yonder twice(not enough)....they fuckin rock

[tdogg69123]

i'm stoned and this is awesome

[UngratefulLiving420]

[hvclimbing]

@tdogg69123 Agreed

[jmallen62691]

@tdogg69123 i'm not and it's still awesome!

[kindsoul420247]

@tdogg69123 I love your comment.........Damn straight.

[MARCUSJEANPIRAE]

@tdogg69123 fuck yeah.

[ihateyotube11]

holy shit these guys are ace

[atact88]

wenahaone:

Forty has a biblical significance. It was basically used by the ancient Hebrews to represent a *really long* something. Ex. 40 years, 40 days, 40 nights, etc.

Some would argue that the number 40, in particular, refers to periods of trial and hardship.

I'm non-religious, but I've studied Catholic theology.

[keydet5]

There is a sign just outside of Nederland and Rollinsville CO where some of YMSB live that says "Denver 40". Traveling back to the east coast is about a 26-28 hour drive which takes about 3 days if you're being reasonable. I'm confident to say that traveling out of Ned is where the 40 miles comes from, not the bible.

[tdock14]

@keydet5 you mean 20 hours with two drivers!

[dpetngl]

@tdock14 It takes 30+ to get to the east coast from Denver. I go to DU and live in Mass and its about 35 with two drivers.

[tdock14]

@dpetngl you must be a slow driver. We drove from A-Basin, west of denver, to Atlanta GA in 22 hours.

[Sagacity833]

@keydet5 couldnt it just be hes on a train looking back 40 miles from denver?

[devaflave]

@keydet5 you are right

[flsurfer222]

Saw them a few months back in St. Petersburg, Florida. This band is no joke!!! The dude standing next to me was eating magic mushrooms, I was like "holy shit" lol!!!

[KyndestKid]

I love this song... thanks for posting kynd person! :)

Boogie on...

[wenahaone]

uh, nevermind.

[wenahaone]

umm...the appalacians AREN'T forty miles from denver.

just sayin'.

[atact88]

And Louisiana ain't "about a mile from Texarkana." (cotton fields) Who cares?

[mrd1255]

i wish i was on that trail

[YonderFanj]

[SwitzerlandStudios]

I want Adams Guitar...

Does anyone know what model of Collings it is???

[xFraNTiK]

I've seen them live twice and they have yet to play this song. Pisses me off cause this song rocks. So therefore they better play it on the 31st when I see them again. Either way, they are still one of my favorites.
