I am weary let me rest

[88keysallday]

my uncle pete wrote this song!!

[madisonayers]

my cat passed away and now i feel better

[krnannable]

to my cat Quiqley

[Swankman]

@krnannable rip Quiqley.

[fatgrl1935]

@krnannable So sorry about your kitty. Mine are my babies. I just lost 2 of my oldest in quick succession. I have 3 left. I miss them every day. Hope you're feeling better.

[verdew8181]

I just lost a cat I rescued yesterday, she was someone's pet with a collar on. She had bad wounds although seemed in no pain. She passed from this life peacefully and this beautiful song helps my grief.

[fatgrl1935]

@verdew8181 Bless you for rescuing her...I hope you brought her to a vet. If she died in no pain you did all you could and I thank you for caring about her.

[FDroid01]

I thought this song said "kiss me lover..." I found out it says "kiss me mother," and now it brings tears.

[sidDkid87]

@FDroid01 Yeah, makes you realize it's about someone losing a child. Doesn't get much sadder than that. Have you ever listened to "Angel Band" by The Stanley Brothers? It's also on the excellent "O' Brother, Where Art Thou?" soundtrack.

[bst246]

This is Chicken Soup for the soul. I have watched the movie a hundred times and I still fall on the floor laughing at every scene. The music just takes you away. I'm fixin to R-U-N-N-O-F-T-Y

[krnannable]

death brings life that is what i learned

[TheMrdogoman]

hell i am 43 and none of us get out of here alive ............death is nothing to fear it is something we will all face and face it alone .............

[krnannable]

life i s like a full circle i lost a 8 yr old to kidney disease but i gained 2 new kittens in august underneath my dooor step

[krnannable]

i luv this song so tru and beautiful

[Chamtechie]

This song would have fit in real well with the "Fallout New Vegas" radio.

[Ariel2617]

@Chamtechie new vegas sucked.. fallout 3 for sure..

[Maxnned]

@chrisdavid4026 You just called someone an asshole for saying something that actually was true.

...You also said he had no class even though you called someone you don't know an asshole. THAT is no class.

[Maxnned]

@chrisdavid4026

How can I tell you you're "wrong" when it is a matter of an opinion? I'm done here, I know youre just yet another troll who can't spell for his life.

[heatherjones1945]

ilovethis

[kimbreballin]

This song would make my Aunt and Grandmother cry everytime they heard it. now it makes cry everytime I hear it because my Aunt is dying of brain cancer. </3

[localaxeman]

the best thing you ever did was get hit by that train.

[iluvswaffles]

One sad, sad person is a KKK siren who uses fop and got hit by a train

[1shirleymartinez]

i wish my daughter loved me like this

[styrbjornful]

@1shirleymartinez i don't know the details of your relationship, but i like to gamble, and i would bet she does love you

[coraa213]

LOL one dislike.

[PrinceRavensword]

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.  Matthew 11:28

[Brenda373]

I lost my best friend and Father May 5th 2011, he was a huge lover of bluegrass and god...I am still having a hard time without him, I miss you Dad...my first Christmas without you will be a tough one.,.

[whiskerchild]

[MarionCap]

[88Jako]

[Milto90]

sorry guys, who is the artist of this song? :) x

[ironmancwb]

@Milto90  The Cox Family

[VanBullDawg]

@Milto90 The Cox family is the featured artists in this song. I love the song because it takes me back to my roots and my family always singing together.

[Parmella]

234Dragoman, I have the original soundtrack from the movie but it's worn out. I assume you can still buy it? I love the entire soundtracks.

[fbikanda]

I like this song

[More13Feen]

I love this song so much! I'm swis ( so sorry for my spelling.. ) But I work in an english school, in the moment in the nursery school, so i ues this as lullaby, maby its a sad song but the melody is just pervect for bed time :) and it's a good message too!

Thx for uploding!

[krnannable]

full circle i have 2 beautiful new kittens one male and female

[safehouse123]

@krnannable i hope they are dear companions to you.

[krnannable]

@safehouse123 thank u they are

[VenesXMarie]

Kiss me mother kiss your darlin Lay my head upon your breast Throw your loving arms around me I am weary let me rest Seems the light is swiftly fading Brighter scenes they do now show I am standing by the river Angels wait to take me home Kiss me mother kiss your darlin See the pain upon my brow While I'll soon be with the angels Fate has doomed my future now Through the years you've always loved me And my life you've tried to save But now I shall slumber sweetly In a deep and lonely grave

[WaterBottleJesus]

I don't feel this song has anything to do with religion per se, but religion is an device that many people use to help them through life. Perhaps the writers of the song used their religious inclinations in the song in the same way they use them to deal with life. That doesn't mean that the song doesn't speak to a universal truth that goes beyond any religious philosophy.

[234dragoman]

if there is a better soundtrack out there let me know please.

[krnannable]

full circle. I have 2 new beautiful kittens. They were underneath my doorstep i also have the mother cat

[bamastuff]

Love it.........so sad and sweet.

[MrZeus169]

fuck this is sweet.........how can u not like this.....

[SouthernWasp]

The "f" word is unnecessary, but you are right that this song is about the acceptance of the inevitable.

This song represents most beliefs and religions.

Your beliefs are YOURS. I respect that.

[Animefan6201]

Who could dislike such a beautiful song? Who I ask you?!

[waynesbestgirl]

play this song for me at my death!

[MsAlexabell]

This makes me want to cry. & I dont necessarily have a sad story to tell.

[GoldenPig2012]

My grandmother was 85, she'd lost husband, children and grandchildren. The last time I spoke to her, she said, "I'm just tired and weary, ready to go, to see the ones I've lost, to rest". Years later, I heard this song, which maybe she'd already heard, I don't know. I just know it's easier to face the end now, I love the ones I have, but do not fear what comes next as the years pass and I get weary of this world. Great song, great version, thankful I've heard it.

[764144344]

@GoldenPig2012 God rest your sweet Grandmother. I had a couple of those myself. Both Angels.

[bleikwajdi]

@GoldenPig2012 bless you. :)



[willis5890]

@GoldenPig2012 if your grandmother lost all her grandchildren then how r u here

[TheTroubledwolf]

@willis5890 it didn't say lost all, just that'd shed lost some of those

[krnannable]

cats are like children they love u no matter what

[krnannable]

i dont know what to do know i luv cats but i dont know whether to get another one

[krnannable]

cats are beautiful creatures they are like angels

[MrDimebuck]

I just lost my father. He was a lover (and a player) of bluegarss country and gospel, not to mention how much he loved O brother where art thou? This soundtrack is full of beautiful and fitting music for such times. It is really helping me through my grieving.

[LUVFAMILIA]

@MrDimebuck hope you are better now, may he R.I.P :) Have a great 2012

[Rachulie]

most old songs, especially southern songs, are about death. i can relate to this song. im sick of the neverending cycle of life. :P

[MikeTap4321]

i am atheist, but i like this song because unlike todays "musical" garbage, this song is very real music, this has a lot of talent you can hear about a 16th into the first note of the song, it is played with instruments, and it is not autotuned, unlike modern "music" that is all written and autotuned by a computer, there is no talent in that. and its been almost 7 years since the last time i listened to this song, thank you for posting

[krnannable]

NO DISLIKES U KNOW WHY

[WDIAWLOK]

Sad, sad, sad, especially if you've lost a child

[krnannable]

bluegrass rules

[krnannable]

amen

[krnannable]

THANK U

[krnannable]

ive tried so hard to keep him alive sub q fluids didnt work

[krnannable]

animals or humans same thing god bless quigley

[krnannable]

this song is for my cat Quiqley. He passed away from kidney disease on 3,24,11.

Rest In Peace angels are here now.

[Annanimiss]

@krnannable I am sorry for your loss. I too lost my beloved cat, Little Nicky, this March to Chronic Kidney Failure. He died with in a week of diagnosis.  I still miss him deeply.

[krnannable]

@Annanimiss my cat died around the same time did u tried sub q fluids

[Annanimiss]

@krnannable Yes, but he was only home one day. We only gave him his sub q's once. He wasn't eating for us at all, so the vet told us to bring him back in. The next morning she called us and told us he'd died in the night. His numbers were really high and only went down a little with treatment at the vets. When they redid his blood work the day before he died, she said his numbers had gone up.

[krnannable]

@Annanimiss my cat quigley is berried in my back yard he was so kind and loved children

[krnannable]

@Annanimiss pls we have to talk

[WDIAWLOK]

After my son died I couldn't listen to this song. It's been six years and I'm better now.

[CitizenZero00]

this is one of those "hush boy,listen" kinda songs.so HUSH AND LISTEN,maybe?

[juslisten2music]

Thanks to this Soundtrack I listened to 9years ago, I am now a forever Bluegrass fan...

[Maxnned]

@juslisten2music

Yea I'm starting to get into this. Think you could recommend some songs other than the O Brother Where Art Thou soundtrack?

[prettysureful]

this song reminds me of my father... i miss him so much!

[WendyKS93]

This song is my personal favorite from the movie. Absolutely beautiful.

[sarahw59]

this is a great song. I haven't seen the movie but the soundtrack rocks!

[Maxnned]

@sarahw59

You should really see it, its great

[krnannable]

@sarahw59 see the movie its great

. . . .••♥❤ - Namaste To All - ❤♥••. . .

[fourthandbeale]

beauty

[alzioalzio]

Living 4000 miles from my mama, many times I listened to this song and thought of her

[frenchinsaneguy]

So much modesty towards such an awful life event; death.

This song is terribly insightful. It's about learning to let go, and earning a last kiss.

It's the fucking last stage of Kubler-Ross' theory. It's acceptance.

Thank you.

[punchachristian1]

@frenchinsaneguy I think of the last time I saw my grandparents touch hands before my grandfathers passing later that night..song stirs so much emotion.

[krnannable]

@frenchinsaneguy amen



[krnannable]

@frenchinsaneguy amen i am at that stage acceptance

[MrCommonsense743]

@frenchinsaneguy Never heard of the KR theory. Interesting that you bring it out. Learn something new each day. Thx

[roodog1974]

@frenchinsaneguy very well said......cursing not withstanding.......but it shows your grass roots......we all do need to so let go of things that ( even though may be the best of what we been), hold us back of what we can be

[crazyjenius74]

@frenchinsaneguy What is Kubler-Ross' theory?

[CrownedWithLaurels]

@crazyjenius74 It's the theory of the five stages of feeling a dying person goes through. 1 - Denial ("I don't feel like I'm dying, there must be some mistake") 2 - Anger ("It's not fair!") 3 - Bargaining ("I'd do anything to live") 4 - Depression ("If I'm dying, what's the point of anything anymore?") and finally 5 - Acceptance. It also holds true for people who are grieving for a loved one.

[crazyjenius74]

@CrownedWithLaurels Hm.....Hey you're right! Thank you so much! :D

[CrownedWithLaurels]

@crazyjenius74 No problem! It's a very useful theory. Everyone deals with death in a unique way, but most people follow this pattern a lot of the way, and it can help people understand what they're feeling.

[weehawker1]

@frenchinsaneguy

i gottah go look up K-Ross again = college has been a few years ago. Notwithstanding, i think this a very Biblical song. just sayin' ..... brings tears. " Life is but a vapor .... " Thanks, Bro ....

[lulabee123]

Sleep dear Mother...Guiltless...Sing rejoicefully, ever more.

[ang77122]
