it's a bit weird but my top two favourite folk songs have the words sweet or sweetest apple in them - the other song being .love is pleasing .. by the dubliners
Tim Eriksen and Riley Baugus. Look them up on youtube they sing it at Riley's house here in north carolina on banjo and another instrument. I live about twenty miles from Riley never met him though.
it's too fuckin hard to find songs as cool as this -i'd move to america just to go to some dusty old record shop in the south, and hunt for tunes like this-all i get is covers of this kind of tune by bands like the be good tanyas ( the b g tanyas are class though) any hints or tips for tracks like this would be good-as i can't afford a flight to the states yet
@jofes51 that's a shame we've got em - they're the best ones -happy for you though ..it's prob just me that hates the modern music shop - the one that sells more video games than cds and pipes chart hits through the speakers ,everyone that works there wears the same uniform and the same i hate my job expression..give me the dusty any-time--they've got more soul and you don't feel like you're in a fuckin mcdonalds
@jofes51 I'm sure you do, you just haven't looked hard enough. Try looking in old small town general stores, maybe some touristy places. I found some kick ass Bob Wills records in the "dusty old record" corner of a general store off Interstate 20 near the border of Alabama and Mississippi. But that's Western Swing, and while cool in it's own right.....it really has nothing on this :)
Well there may be some around other parts, but you can pass through our town and not even realize it. Theres nothing for miles excepy pasture and trees
Bluegrass, and I love it, I've tried finding stuff similar, but have had trouble. They do have bluegrass festivals tho, so I would look those I plan on it.
Beautiful song respect to the swedish norwegian and danish boy that got thrown in to this war and died by the thousand and hardly knew what it was about... R.I.P
Totaly beautiful and awsome. Proud it derives from Scottish and Irish culture and so glad us Scots/Irish still have such a bond with our American cousins..
lyrics: i wish my baby was born, & sitting on its pa-paw's knee, & me poor girl were dead & gone & the green grass growin oer my feet, i ain't a ? , nor eer will be, till the sweet apple grows on the sour apple tree, but still i hope the time will come, when you and i shall be as one, i wish i wish, my love had died, & set his soul, to wander free, then we might meet, where ravens fly, let our poor bodies rest in peace, the owl, the owl is a lonely bird, its chills my heart w/dread & terror
@bhoyjack -we had lots of scots/irish in the mtns of the south back then-awful war, brother and cousins against each other.the scots came here to get away from government, so did the irish. it found them anyways, sad tale, sad war. people in the south never forgot it still to this day
@rainharper62 Thank you brother. Good to speak to my American cousins. Yeah it was a sad war as it divided families and communities. I believe the Irish fought on both sides. I have family who left Scotland 30 years ago and now live in Raleigh NC.
@lorrin1950 My understanding is Anthony Minghella, the director of Cold Mountain added the verse to the song. He has since, has died. He was an gifted film maker.
@phuchesathi I wish, I wish my baby was born And sitting on its papa's knee And me, poor girl And me, poor girl, were dead and gone And the green grass growing o'er my feet I ain't ahead, nor never will be Till the sweet apple grows On a sour apple tree But still I hope, But stil I hope the time will come When you and I shall be as one I wish, I wish my love had died And sent his soul to wander free Then we might meet where ravens fly Let our poor body rest in peace
Men say that war "is a cloud upon the land", but it is they who make the weather. Then when it rains they just stand around in it..saying "shit my britches, it's RAINING!"
Pardon me for noticing, but things aint changed all that much between then and now have they? Our men are fighting and dying for some unclear and dubious "freedom" that even their leaders can not define. (But Lord help those who might press them on this point. Just ask McChrystal. )
@unavailable5674 I love the beauty & diversity of the World and it's people. USA isn't perfect by any means. It's getting out of control. Ppl are unhappy but unsure what to do when the leaders have the power and abuse it. I think most everyone has good in them, and everyone basically wants to survive.Each lives in the way of their family and community; if we feel differently than the status quo when we can think for ourselves and discern and we grow as a Human we should. Peace.
Abolishing slavery is worth dieing for any day. I'd rather die fighting to free someone than fighting to keep them in bondage...a right to secede? A nation is a family. every state contributes in there own way just like a family. Texas an oil state, Oregon a logging state, Alaska is a fishing state; we all contribute. Father brings money mother brings cooking children bring joy...What if you take some states away its like taking away a father or mother from a family should we have that right?
....and by the way, insurgents are people who come in from another place to commit terrorism,(Like the Yankees, for example) not people who are defending their homes.
@coleyounger55 that is actually a great way of looking at it. Yankees came in and told the Confederates (sp) how to live their lives just like the US troops are doing abroad.. i never looked at it like that. Thanks
The Confederate states had as much right to secede as I have to change jobs or attend a different church! Jeff Davis DEMANDED to be tried for treason! He was held for several years, then released without ever being tried! Why?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
The south destroyed itself by going against the government and declaring itself separate from the union...The North just taught them a lesson and put the insurgents down.
No Carrbow. The "UNION" is what it is. States working together for a common ground and that ground is the Constitution. However, the States are not sub-servant to the Federal government. That's our system of Federalism. The founders intended that to be the way. The sovereign States have every right to leave the Union. 130 years of history has been skewed to reflect what the progressives and Yankees want us to think. History was written by the victors no matter how unjust their cause was.
The north destroyed the south thats why they fought to be free from the opressive union. They killed southerners in there homeland and laughed after. We all know who had more heart but just couldn't come up with enough support.
There really was a " William P. Inman", for those who saw "Cold Mountain",the movie. I have found his record and he signed up with the Confederacy in 1861 at the age of 22. He was from Haywood Co. North Carolina. Inman served in the 25th N.C. Infantry in Co. F. He signed up at Camp Davis near Wilmington N.C. and was in two hospitals, during the war, with a neck wound. Amazing!
I love the movie, I saw it for the first time a couple of days ago and I nearly cried in the end, I watched it with my friend so I held back the tears :S call me coward who can't cry in front of my friends but I don't want them to think I am a weak idiot :P Sorry 'bout the bad english ^^
never be ashamed to cry. The greatest man that ever lived cried. JESUS when he heard of Lazaras' death. I have cried a few times on account of a sad movie. Clenses your spirit. So go ahead and cry. They aren't reall y our friends if they laugh at you.
@GingaFreak I believe that i'm alive. I can feel. I exist. I don't see an illusion, even if I did, there'd be an energy of me to feel it. xD thats what I believe. And I believe something else made everything too.
@GingaFreak I first saw this movie on my laptop on a plane and was crying through most of it with my seatmate looking at me like I was nuts. I still cry every time I watch it, it is a beautiful movie!
Just live a little north of Cold Mountain up here in Ashe Co. Love this song. Used to pick with my dad on the porch in Grassy Creek man good damn times
i love this song my grandpa use to sit on the porch in the fall of each year and pick and sing this song i played the fiddle and my older brother played the banjo damn i miss those days
@mrstanley09 i feel ya man when i was just a boy my greatgranpa passed and there was a picnic at the old cemetery and a bunch of ol timers were picking banjo playin violin it is a bittersweet memory for me i still go visit the graves and remenice about that day in the spring of 77
Someone asked "why was Lincoln's photograph placed at the end?"...listen to the words at 2:23..."The Owl, the Owl..." and the words at the moment of of 2:40 when the Confederate graves are shown..."That someones blood there on its wings..." and the words at 2:54 when Lincoln's photo appears..."That someones blood there on its feathers"...
...and this is fittin'...for the Blood of Many were upon the policies of The Federals before, during and after that long and bloody War Between The States...
This song reminds me of down home in tennessee in the mountains, sitting on the proch with my papaw picking it...even though I'm a blues guitarist...I still love to hear moutain music...
Right on, brother! I live a stone's throw from the real Cold Mountain. In fact I was out riding my horse though the Panther Town Bear Preserve nearby. A beautiful local - you don't hear anything but your own heartbeat and the breath and footfalls of your horse. And if you listen carefully, you can hear the ghosts singing the old songs.
Probly be country. Whatever it is its good. Lyrics is hard to make out I found em and only just get me head aroung em. Bloody english language, only been a language for 800 years and now we got nearly 100 different ways of talking it. Scots and paddys and taffys always sing in a higher pitch but english sing deeper with folk music
Its a welshman. Supposed to be someone from Cardiff but we just use it for anyone whos from north wales and has the daft accent. Comes from the river Taff what goes through the country. Supposed to be good for boating and fishing.
Youd know better then me. I just go told that it was cardiff people. I thought it was more of a city thing. Im from Hull and we all get called codheads or monkeys. Dont know why monkeys.
so sadto hear of anthony minghella passed away. thought he was one of the most extrodinary people to meet,and the world will miss hiswork.........thought hed make the Grave Keeper not so now. talent
Wow i cant get enough of this damn song..i dont listen to things like this at all but damn this was amazing. i probably listined to this at least 100 times today!
The reason for the picture of the Tyrannt Lincoln...is this...listen to the words just before his photo is shown..."The owl the owl...it chills with my heart with dread and terror...that someone's blood there on its wings...someones blood there on its feathers"... Lincoln is that Owl...the blood is that of the innocents killed and arrested...the blood of Our Nation.
I have tried for two years now to buy the soundtrack from Cold Mt., I especially love I wish my baby was born by Tim and Joe, can anyone sell me a disc or somethin?? I live in Mich Upper Penn, but my folks and my family are all from the south and I love the music
It's also one of the few movies that have been adapted from books that outshine the original novel. Although the book is magnificent on it's own this movie is exceptional and in my opinion better than Charles Frazier's novel.
this is my favorite movie of all time because of it's sheer beauty and poignancy, it gives you chills and makes you weep. It's a masterpeice of acting and cinematography that i've watched over and over and it just never loses its beauty, truly one of the greats. And I agree there is something haunting about the fiddle but also so beautiful and the pain in this song is so clear and heart wrenching. I'm fifteen now and I think Cold Mountain is an artful movie that all ages should watch and love.
did you see the deleted scenes where the baby died and the mother committed suicide after they killed the three yankees? They shouldn't have cut it out, stuff like that happeded all the time.
Wow, I never saw those deleted scenes. I agree they should've kept it. Natalie Portman's scene was probably the most deep & dramatic scene of the whole movie. Anyway, I'm not into the whole Confederacy & southern thing but I do love this movie. One of my faves of all time and I'm a big fan of Kidman.
It is a great movie, I only wish it would have been more 'pro-south', but in todays times it wouldnt have been accepted unfortunatly. Too many people have been decieved to think we're just a bunch of evil nazi-racist, when in reality we were and still are more religous than the north. Could've possibly has another Gone With the Wind type movie... But I encourage you look into it a little more, you'd be suprised at what you'd find out.
Well as a person of color living in the south, you'd be surprised at how many people use the flag to represent hatred. I personally don't like seeing the flag anywhere; It makes me sick to my stomach. But I appreciate this movie and the acting is well done. I'm trying to find where I can watch the deleted scenes at. Probably only way to see them is buy the dvd?
thats true, but not all of us. And I think over time you'll start to see that start to fade,the hatred meaning of it. Its our job to teach our children what the flag really meant and to fly it for the right reasons. To ban the flag all together is not the answer though. Be proud of who you are and where you come from. We're all southerners now. But yes, its on the DVD in the deleted scenes section. Its really heart breaking to watch but I definitly reccomend it.
Not sure, wasn't alive yet. However, I do know the General left the KKK after realizing that the group was leading itself astray. That matter is beyond doubt. Thank you for wanting to look deeper.
Just beautiful. Love it.

Someone asked "why was Lincoln's photograph placed at the end?"...listen to the words at 2:23..."The Owl, the Owl..." and the words at the moment of of 2:40 when the Confederate graves are shown..."That someones blood there on its wings..." and the words at 2:54 when Lincoln's photo appears..."That someones blood there on its feathers"...
...and this is fittin'...for the Blood of Many were upon the policies of The Federals before, during and after that long and bloody War Between The States...

Right on, brother! I live a stone's throw from the real Cold Mountain. In fact I was out riding my horse though the Panther Town Bear Preserve nearby. A beautiful local - you don't hear anything but your own heartbeat and the breath and footfalls of your horse. And if you listen carefully, you can hear the ghosts singing the old songs.

Check out Riley Baugus who is the voice of Pangle that you see in the movie and hear on this song.

When my sister and I went to Gettysburgh,PA and saw the battlefield we were listening to this soundtrack. It seemed very fitting for where we were.

Probly be country. Whatever it is its good. Lyrics is hard to make out I found em and only just get me head aroung em. Bloody english language, only been a language for 800 years and now we got nearly 100 different ways of talking it. Scots and paddys and taffys always sing in a higher pitch but english sing deeper with folk music

The reason for the picture of the Tyrannt Lincoln...is this...listen to the words just before his photo is shown..."The owl the owl...it chills with my heart with dread and terror...that someone's blood there on its wings...someones blood there on its feathers"... Lincoln is that Owl...the blood is that of the innocents killed and arrested...the blood of Our Nation.

Just for informational purposes, the owl verse was written by Cold Mountain writer/director Anthony Minghella- a bit of faux traditional poetry.

It's also one of the few movies that have been adapted from books that outshine the original novel. Although the book is magnificent on it's own this movie is exceptional and in my opinion better than Charles Frazier's novel.
TVlover33 2 years ago
How could I argue with that? =)
lyden2006 2 years ago
this is my favorite movie of all time because of it's sheer beauty and poignancy, it gives you chills and makes you weep. It's a masterpeice of acting and cinematography that i've watched over and over and it just never loses its beauty, truly one of the greats. And I agree there is something haunting about the fiddle but also so beautiful and the pain in this song is so clear and heart wrenching. I'm fifteen now and I think Cold Mountain is an artful movie that all ages should watch and love.

did you see the deleted scenes where the baby died and the mother committed suicide after they killed the three yankees? They shouldn't have cut it out, stuff like that happeded all the time.
ranchnman 2 years ago
Wow, I never saw those deleted scenes. I agree they should've kept it. Natalie Portman's scene was probably the most deep & dramatic scene of the whole movie. Anyway, I'm not into the whole Confederacy & southern thing but I do love this movie. One of my faves of all time and I'm a big fan of Kidman.
mzmissa 2 years ago
It is a great movie, I only wish it would have been more 'pro-south', but in todays times it wouldnt have been accepted unfortunatly. Too many people have been decieved to think we're just a bunch of evil nazi-racist, when in reality we were and still are more religous than the north. Could've possibly has another Gone With the Wind type movie... But I encourage you look into it a little more, you'd be suprised at what you'd find out.
ranchnman 2 years ago
Well as a person of color living in the south, you'd be surprised at how many people use the flag to represent hatred. I personally don't like seeing the flag anywhere; It makes me sick to my stomach. But I appreciate this movie and the acting is well done. I'm trying to find where I can watch the deleted scenes at. Probably only way to see them is buy the dvd?
mzmissa 2 years ago
thats true, but not all of us. And I think over time you'll start to see that start to fade,the hatred meaning of it. Its our job to teach our children what the flag really meant and to fly it for the right reasons. To ban the flag all together is not the answer though. Be proud of who you are and where you come from. We're all southerners now. But yes, its on the DVD in the deleted scenes section. Its really heart breaking to watch but I definitly reccomend it.

not to cause problems, but in what context did he say that?

Not sure, wasn't alive yet. However, I do know the General left the KKK after realizing that the group was leading itself astray. That matter is beyond doubt. Thank you for wanting to look deeper.
