This brought goosebumps and tears. The music itself is a sweet breath of mountain air, and the pictures were my home! Thank you for sharing your talents. :)
"Two proud universities"? What about West Virginia State University? Who wrote the lyrics to this song? Nice performance, Darrell Ramsey (if that's you).
Is there a way I could get the lyrics and chords to this song? I work in hospice and a patient's family wants me to sing this at their mom's funeral tomorrow! Hopefully you get this in time!
Wow, Darryl, this is nothing short of wonderful, ranks right up there with Almst Heaven. You should get this recorded for the masses, it is THAT good!!!
(Part 2) I live in England (Colchester to be precise). If anyone tried to do a similar thing about England or any part of it, it would be mocked. I guess that's the difference between Americans and British. Americans are very patriotic.
I wear my WV baseball cap every where I go and I also have some good old WV pyjama bottoms. I know my brother does the same.
Good on you guys for being proud of where you come from.
(Part 1) West Virginia is a fantastic state and one of the best holiday destinations I've ever been to. I have relatives who live there. I know for a fact that they are very proud to be from WV and I also get that impression from all the folk who live there. They also take pride in their towns. For example, the pavements are clear of litter and dog pooh.
Left WV when I was 19 - my heart never left WV. Now live in VA, own property in WV and return as often as I can. Have a great view of the western mountains from my deck there and this music with the pictures took me back. No tears this morning; but, many wonderful memories. Great song and super job putting the pictures with it. Thanks to person who sent this to me.
What a great beautiful state, born and raised there, 26years military, 35 years livivg in Florida,but there is nothing like going home, my roots are forever buried there
I'm a life long West Virginian. But, I've got to say that this song brought tears to my eyes. Tears of pride. Thanks for a beautiful song and wonderful pictures. Oh, Those West Virginia hills .......
Really enjoyed this song! Great lyrics, lead singer vocal and harmony. Nice to see the excellent photography of the state where I was born and spent some of the best years of my life. Good description of WV PRIDE ..."deeper than a hollow, brighter than the sun"! Thank you for this song!!!!
This is the most beautiful song I've heard. My husband and I go down to West Virginia every chance we have. So friendly and beautiful country. Love you WEST VIRGINIA!!
Peaceful, comforting, just love this state. People are so much friendlier! The mountains are gorgeous! Just gorgeous! There are no words for this state.
Grat photos . Great song Bring back wonderful memories. I have not been "home" in about 9 years, but will return and live there until I am buried there. Thanks!!
we have lived from coast to coast but never forgot where we were born.we will allways be w.va.hill billies
