Me and two other women are going to sing this for church. Harmonizing should be called HARDonizing!(Yes I already know I cant spell)
O brother wher art thou is one of the last good movies they made in a very long time. This has HEART. Not many so called" works of art" have that any more.
Good Movie. Good Song and Singing. By the way Prayer is the answer to doing all the other things Christians should do including Loving God and one another. And to another Post ... Jesus was God and is to be worshipped. He was all man and all God, but not all of God. While God in the flesh walked this earth, God as Spirit ran and filled the universe. Get saved, then get Baptized and be on your way to Heaven. THANKS FOR THE SONG.
Oh and for the record let me really make people mad. No not you guys commenting I already know how you feel. This is just general info for Christians and non-Christians alike. Jesus did not want to be worshiped. He wanted to be followed and his followers to be "Christlike" in their thinking, and doing. He wasn't about politics at all. He was a champion of those who were rejects of society. He hated money and power of this world, and gave love when he in return got hate.
To continue I was just touched by the simplicity of what's in the song, and the act of faith of the people. Anyway everyone wants just to vent so go ahead, but I give you credit for coming across with your convictions. It means you are thinking. Oh yeah I almost forgot, I am big on separation of Church and State.Next comment plz.......
OK I think I get it. A lot of people present day and past really suck at being Christian. But tell me what are you mad at? and no I am in no way an Evangelical or Baptist, which we have lots of in the South, and by the way I support the Palestine People's right to exist and have their own state. That said tell me what's wrong with Jesus' sermon on the Mount. You know "Blessed are the Peacemakers...", AND I support Obama and probably more left leaning than most of you all commenting.
The christians(in america) was against mix marriage, removing slavery women voting and now they are working on gay marriage dont kid urself. Christians are judgemental and often hit on minorities. Still a good song.
@cellofingers That's because in the 50's and earlier more people were Christian. They didn't have as many people to judge at the time, but they still did. (African Americans, Jews, Blacks)
OK everyone. I see where you are coming from and maybe I have a (as was said in the movie Cool Hand Luke) "failure to communicate" issue. First what I meant was that Christianity has turned political (modern times --yes I know all about inquisition etc..). Jesus was never about politics, and no he would never join the Republican party. Nor would he probably be welcome in a majority of church's as they now stand. Just listen to the song and focus on what Jesus said about love and forgiveness.
O Brother Where Art Thou... Everytime this excellent movie is on TV it just, magnetizes me. I just watch it. Every. Time. Even if I have things to do.
George Clooney is a southern boy, Tim Blake Nelson is Jewish, and John Turturro is Italian, but they all do well as Southerners! Love this movie - it really treats all the typical themes of the South.
Okay, so nobody will probably ever read this or care...but anyways! haha this was like one of my first memories when I was a baby, I remember when I stayed home from pre-school one day and I remember a scene in this movie with a tornado or hurricane? haha I don't remember but if you seen this movie then you probably know what I'm talking about! and my moms always loved this movie, so as I got older I loved it haha, i recently found this song again at my nana's house! great song :)
I actually met the band and Allison Krauss at the Fox Theatre compliments of Cracker Barrell. We got to go back stage and have our picture took with her. She and her band really are superb human beings. Very quiet and humble. That was a nice surprise. No wonder she sings like an angel
Growing up in the South in the 1950's, this was a scene right out of my childhood, and it brought tears to my eyes. Kids today have no idea of community and fellowship, much less faith and belief in something beyond their iPhones and Facebooks.
@tf424 Amen, and what a shame. But all is not lost: I recently started attending the local Evangelical Free Church and those guys have a handle on the community, fellowship and a basic belief that this song is all about. And, for me, what a blessed relief to move beyond Orthodox Christianity.*tears here, too*
Well. Dang. Don't know what you went through down there in Waycross, but I can respect your opinion. Out west back in the day we had a pretty nice bunch of church folks that would give you the shirt off there backs no questions asked. But that was my experience. Today Christians really need to get away from worldly politics, Jesus was about the world to come not this one, you know.." render Cesar the things unto Cesar's.... But God love ya man keep on plugging!
For you younger folks that's how older Christians used to be without all the judging condemning and self-righteous behavior we have seen since the 60's forward.
@cellofingers ..THAT'S INCORRECT...If anything they were MORE OPEN about passing judgment PUBLICLY and not behind your back... in those days...WTF are you TALKING ABOUT and what country did you live in?? I was in WayCross, GA...get ya FACTS straight young'un...
@cellofingers If you're a good nonjudgmental/condeming Chrisstian, good on you! But let's avoid golden era thinking. I REALLY don't think Christians were generally more accepting of different races, genders, and sexuality pre-civil rights movements in the 60s.
@cellofingers Um except for a Christian run United States which banned (and continues to ban in most cases) the rights of anyone who was Black, female, Japanese, Irish, Muslim, Old, Poor, Queer, Retarded,&c....you know, but yeah, I guess if no one has any rights there's nothing to judge...
@cellofingers Yeah, with our foggy memories it seems like that's the way it was back then, but you know... everybody's reeaal easy goin' when EVERYBODY is some flavor of Christian. Also, let's not forget the occasional lynchings and cross burnings.
@freddytheflintstone1 Actually, I'm an atheist. I prefer to eat babies here at home in the U.S. ; )
Let me guess, you're an American Evangelical Christian that supports Israel in every matter with undying zeal, no questions asked? So any perceived slight to Christianity is thereby an attack on Israel, so by extension, I'm some kind of Palestinian monster that enjoys slaughtering Jewish toddlers?
Congratulations, that's longest leap of goofy, twisted logic I've seen in a while.
@freddytheflintstone1 You know, I seriously doubt if you could find Gaza on a map even WITH access to the internet to help you. It's obvious you're a Christian troll.
Tell me, is your god so weak that he needs your help to be anonymously mean to people on the internet, to 'defend' his honor? That's your pathetic job in service to god?
Wow. I'm kind of ashamed for you... that makes me a little sad that you're so brainwashed.
@cellofingers Say that to the Catholic Church and their Inquisition. Nothing like some good ole Christian torture and book-burning. The era doesn't make a difference -- the person does.
they played this at my grandpas funeral,and as I listened I believe my grandfather was too. I am sad he is dead but also glad hes in a better place,"the river"
Actually, I am not sure which religious system this is all about, but one thing is for sure: this is not to be confused with Jesus' teaching. Gospel is teaching its readers to pray in full privacy, and of course not to congregate and to go INTO some river to pray. This must be some fake guidance for ignorant sanctimonious idiots, or what?
This has nothing with devotion, nothing with the Bible. This is a WASP & KKK fiction in attempt to say 'HEAVEN - whites only'. Shameless racism unable to comprehend the fact that 'My house shall be called a house of prayer to all nations'. A serious, dangerous mental/spiritual problem is all about. She just PLAYS a role of a humble, devoted person, but behind that make-up is something completely different. Sorry Alison, you failed.
@TheChange1961 This is a MOVIE set when racism was accepted. This scene would not have fit the tone of the movie if (as I think your saying) there should be blacks included into this scene. I guess this movie is wrong and its ok for Spike Lee to make his racist movies.
@vidcreations I do not watch movies, not much, but I know that almost entire R'n'B today has that sick trend. Then, what to say about Jamaican Rastafascists, and so on...Only really great people keep the thing right. Check the biography of Dave Brubeck, for an example. Mary J. Blige sings Led Zeppelin tune, and that's the point. However, races ought to be together on stage of any true messenger today. And is there ANY black/colored person involved in Plant/Krauss collaboration...?
@vidcreations If you think it's racist for someone to make movies concentrating on a black cast I think that's all we need to know about your opinions, really.
@sugmagnolia4 'Proud'...let me see... Pride is on the list of human heart's pollutions together with envy, adultery, murders, malice and so on. Strange, but I do not consider Alison to be much too proud, it is a better side of her, keeping her in a pretty good shape. Pride is not a virtue, as it is accepted usually. There is no need to pray for me, not at all.
a set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe, especially when considered as the creation of a superhuman agency or agencies, usually involving devotional and ritual observances, and often containing a moral code governing the conduct of human affairs.
@greeneyedlady0460 Yes, PRAYING! Quick, everybody stop doing your jobs and get on your knees to pray... no, don't get back up and get back to work, just keep praying. When the infrastructure starts crumbling, the food starts rotting and nothing is getting done, PRAY HARDER!! God will probably answer just in time to save us all.
Oh wait, I forgot...
Two hands working accomplishes more than a million hands clasped in prayer.
BTW, "Freedom of Religion" means the freedom to NOT have religion, too
I was singing this at work one day and I had a customer tell me I should try out for American Idol... So I think I am going to post a vid of me singing.. But I don't think can compare to Alison K.... She's amazing!!!
Start singing it at school. If Michigan can have foot baths for Muslims, we can sing this beautiful Brush Arbor song. Look up Brush Arbor, bet you don't have a clue. It is what early Christians did when they didn't have a Church, so they went down to the River or out in the woods.
i know the story for this song there was this lady who freed servents and the servents were alwoad tto sing so they went to the river and sang this song so she ccould find them and the other peopple ccouldent
@jackiechi1 this song has been song by many people for a very long time, look it up the song go back many many year am i am sure you can friend some other great verisions
loook under "down by the valley to pray" many under that name as well and i think the oringal. on another not and I love you alison Krausss, can you belive she jammed with Robert Plant, how cool is that
@jackiechi1 when you are my age, 26, then you have heard songs that are just as touching as this. some are evern MORE touching. "i would do anything for love(but i wont do that)" by meatloaf is one. watch the videoversion. some other songs is so emotional that the tears wont stop falling.
I agree wholeheartedly with your comments on the film and the soundtrack, it is quite a work of art and a real gem. This song is just one of many fine tracks on it. Thanks for sharing.
A christian hardcore band I used to know used to sing this before every set back in the day. It's amazing how this song transcends genres, and types of people. I still remember the hundred or so teens who most would say could never be saved with their hands up praising God as we all closed our eyes and sat in the presence. And it's not just those who love God who can love this song, the feeling transcends beliefs and styles-- and all that remains is the message of redemption.
i dont have a "religion." religion means following rules and regulations and thats not what being saved means. It means to believe that god died for our sins. I dont work for my salvation because its easy, "My yoke is easy my burden is light..." Its as simple as that:) BTW: its not like im some freak, im 13 and normal. im not some nerd who sits around and reads the bible 24/7...anyways, i think everyone should be thankful and happy that jesus saved us:)
I don't care who or what you pray to, the river is a metaphor for life. It flows on whether we are here or not. Be it Allah, Buddha, Jesus or other, can we not join in spirituality and come in to the river and pray? The world needs faith, and like I said, I don't care what your faith is, can we come on down to the river? I can.
This has to be one of the most moving songs I have ever heard. I like it because its talking about bringing family and friends together. That's the real message here, religious or not. A voice of this calibur can be appreciated by all cultures and religions.
there aint good song like this on the radio these days if there was they would banned it because some ppl would have to listen about the goodness of god !
This is the first song I ever sang in public. I love it so much, and you can relate whether you're religious or not. It's about togetherness, not simply religion.
As it says at the beginning, the movie is based upon the Odyssey, right down to the Cyclops, Big Dan Teague but the way they do it in old timin' fashion is a classic. What do you think that quality is that moves even agnostics and non-believers? It is a common thread that runs thru us from time immemorial.
Me and two other women are going to sing this for church. Harmonizing should be called HARDonizing!(Yes I already know I cant spell)
O brother wher art thou is one of the last good movies they made in a very long time. This has HEART. Not many so called" works of art" have that any more.

Then, what to say about Jamaican Rastafascists, and so on...Only really great people keep the thing right. Check the biography of Dave Brubeck, for an example. Mary J. Blige sings Led Zeppelin tune, and that's the point. However, races ought to be together on stage of any true messenger today. And is there ANY black/colored person involved in Plant/Krauss collaboration...?

@vidcreations If you think it's racist for someone to make movies concentrating on a black cast I think that's all we need to know about your opinions, really.

@scalporf Spike Lee has openly stated he wants to make movies with only black cast. Not black subject matter. Form your own opinion there.

@TheChange1961 you are sadly mistaken. tell him that at the gates and he will say she is a god fearing woman and is proud. ill pray for you

@sugmagnolia4 'Proud'...let me see... Pride is on the list of human heart's pollutions together with envy, adultery, murders, malice and so on. Strange, but I do not consider Alison to be much too proud, it is a better side of her, keeping her in a pretty good shape. Pride is not a virtue, as it is accepted usually. There is no need to pray for me, not at all.

@greeneyedlady0460 Yes, PRAYING! Quick, everybody stop doing your jobs and get on your knees to pray... no, don't get back up and get back to work, just keep praying. When the infrastructure starts crumbling, the food starts rotting and nothing is getting done, PRAY HARDER!! God will probably answer just in time to save us all.
Oh wait, I forgot...
Two hands working accomplishes more than a million hands clasped in prayer.
BTW, "Freedom of Religion" means the freedom to NOT have religion, too

Start singing it at school. If Michigan can have foot baths for Muslims, we can sing this beautiful Brush Arbor song. Look up Brush Arbor, bet you don't have a clue. It is what early Christians did when they didn't have a Church, so they went down to the River or out in the woods.

I agree wholeheartedly with your comments on the film and the soundtrack, it is quite a work of art and a real gem. This song is just one of many fine tracks on it. Thanks for sharing.

A christian hardcore band I used to know used to sing this before every set back in the day. It's amazing how this song transcends genres, and types of people. I still remember the hundred or so teens who most would say could never be saved with their hands up praising God as we all closed our eyes and sat in the presence. And it's not just those who love God who can love this song, the feeling transcends beliefs and styles-- and all that remains is the message of redemption.

i dont have a "religion." religion means following rules and regulations and thats not what being saved means. It means to believe that god died for our sins. I dont work for my salvation because its easy, "My yoke is easy my burden is light..." Its as simple as that:) BTW: its not like im some freak, im 13 and normal. im not some nerd who sits around and reads the bible 24/7...anyways, i think everyone should be thankful and happy that jesus saved us:)

I don't care who or what you pray to, the river is a metaphor for life. It flows on whether we are here or not. Be it Allah, Buddha, Jesus or other, can we not join in spirituality and come in to the river and pray? The world needs faith, and like I said, I don't care what your faith is, can we come on down to the river? I can.

This has to be one of the most moving songs I have ever heard. I like it because its talking about bringing family and friends together. That's the real message here, religious or not. A voice of this calibur can be appreciated by all cultures and religions.

As it says at the beginning, the movie is based upon the Odyssey, right down to the Cyclops, Big Dan Teague but the way they do it in old timin' fashion is a classic. What do you think that quality is that moves even agnostics and non-believers? It is a common thread that runs thru us from time immemorial.
