My Grandmothers name is Marguerite Moore. I couldnt begin to be able to put to words how much I love her. She passed while I was in Prison. She sang me the whinny the pooh song. The people you leave behind from stupid mistakes make for a sorrow life. I think I messed up time I could of spent seeing her. My Sister has her name. I have two sisters. But, Marguerite protects me from alot. So does my Mom. I am not going to mess this up. I hate living in regret.
My mama and my grandma always said this song should be sung with happy voices, because it is a joyous song. Alisson and Gillian do this very well. :) According to my mama, this song needs a big smile to go along with it. :D
my grandmother and her sisters sing thsi song like it should be. in person. the beauty and conviction in their voice carries the soul to new and enlightened heights.
It's a beautiful song- -yet, the times Depression era are coming back, and a Dispensational doctrine of Sensational Escape will not serve to deliver from the trials of life. Time to get real, get praying and take action.
This song makes me think of my 89-year old grandmother, who had vivid memories of growing up on a farm in the Great Depression...a lot of happy memories, actually, and so interesting, of a different time...and now she is in a nursing home and incapacitated. So when I'm there holding her hand, "I'll Fly Away" comes into my mind, because I imagine that's exactly what she wants to do.
@squamish4244 hold tight, love her well. my mom loved this movie made her laugh and cry. JUST LOVE HER. and yes that is all she wants.. be at peace all is good..
@squamish4244 My 89 year old grandmother passed away yesterday morning. She woke up and dressed in her Sunday best, lied back down on the bed and passed on. She kept saying she was ready since she could see all of her grandkids grow up. Man, this song hits home..
Well, Phalanx, or is it phallic worshiper? Hitler's dick? My apologies to the decent people of Texas for having an inbred closet case attempt to speak for you. But I do love Steve Earl and Robert Earl Keen, and the music scene in Austin kicks ass. Thanks Gillian and Alison for such a superb rendition of an exquisite hillbilly gospel classic.
I was born and raised in the Bronx, Surrounded by guidos and hood rats listening to the crap they call music. (rap). i had to move to texas to get away from it and here I found the music that Speaks to me. "Oh Brother..." Is not only a great movie but the music is awesome. Even my little son likes it. I just hope artisits keep up the good music and never let it die. or else I'm screwed.
@dansalvatori1974 arent you Italian american too. Thing about texas is we leave each other alone and enjoy each other. New york isnt that bad i bet. Texan music is way different then southern music.
im from south texas... this landscape from the movie brings me back to my childhood memories, this is one song i would love to be played in my funeral!
I am so sorry for the loss of your mom. I lost my mom last year. I saw Alison Krausse with Union Station last night at the Beacon. The show was an A+. In New york City folks don't even know who Alison Krausse is. That is terrible. With 26 Grammy awards and 12 milion albums sold,if the music industry really got behind Alsion the last 20 years,she probably woould have sold at least 25 million albums with 40 grammy awards. Alison Krausss is the best.
@is1531 ?!??!! I lived in NYC for 8 years and lived around the corner from one of many bars that showcased country and bluegrass talent 364 days a year. There are proabably more Alison Krauss fans there than in whole blue states of self-proclaimed "country music lovers" who tune in to syndicated stations that are playing Taylor Swift and Brad Paisley all day every day.
see....i had this one woman who i thought of as my grandmother....she was a granny to all of her grandbabies......we all called her granny tee......she was 96 when she passed and all of the grandbabies when to the funeral and we all sung this and there had to be like 15 of us and our age range was from about 2 to 16
This is an amazing song, it was played at my Great Uncle's funeral back in September. I don't think I've heard a better version of it since then. Whenever I listen to this, it reminds me of him and it makes me happy. I'm not usually good at picking favorites but this is my favorite song by far.
two more beautiful female voices would be hard to find. T bone is such a great producer/collector/ of talent, finder of terrific roots songs, and matcher of songs to talent. He's a national treasure.
Our sister and I definitely appreciate utilizing the webpage Mediaoutletonline to attain music files. You can easily find this music there...just search Google or bing for mediaoutletonline
Estimated friend, if you want to listen again this song and an endless number of successes of the love I suggest you to visit Radio MUSICA PARA MIMOS - looks for his direction URL in Google ( search Musica para Mimos in Google)-. best romantic music of all the times in Internet, is great, is very good ...!!!
We played it at my dad's funeral and everyone sang, even the funeral director way at the back the church, Mom had taught us girls to sing in harmonies when we were little too.
no reason to bring children to a funeral there kids . people arnt thinking how it can effect a child .grown ups handle death a lot better than children thats y there called children
My mom and me sang this at my grandmother's funeral a few weeks ago and on the last I'll fly away we let one white helium baloon go and the wind was terrible out there the baloon went straight up and through the clouds. That made me and my mom cry...
Seven years ago,when I was ten,I went to my first ever concert and it was Gillian Welch and OCMS. It was a nice and clean sit down venue at the Wheeler,in Aspen. It's nice that a parent can take their ten year old to a Bluegrass concert and they can both enjoy the music! Bluegrass is just like that,clean and wholesome. So thank you Gillian Welch,for being the artist that you are,for having such good,clean,christian lyrics that a little girl and her daddy could come see you together.
@JeSuSfReAk6120 You keep saying clean. It is a little creepy , like your kid is going to grow up weird. I suggest you take her to a Niggers with Attitude gig for balance
not trying to sound too mean , but if you keep your kids too "clean" and feed them religious dogma , they will probably take Angel Dust and shoot people from the roof of the School.
@ilikezappa Okay, first of all, I am the kid from seven years ago,lol. Second I don't necessarily mean clean as in religious music, I just meant that her lyrics,for the most part, are free of sex, drugs, etc. I am a Christian but I listen to all different genre's of music and I don't think that Christian music is the only "clean" music.
@JeSuSfReAk6120 I suppose inserting the lines "I`ll fly away ( although the empirical evidence for this is lacking and our evolutionary pathway has denied us the use of wings ) might spoil the poetry ??
Hey everyone! Make sure that you check out jarestratbear on Youtube! Especially check out his cover for Metro Station's song Kelsey and his original song Mr. Sunshine!
It's a real shame the basement dwellers took over. Word to the wise: if you give the hot pocket, mom does my laundy croud any ammunition at all,,,they will bite, and then some as we see here....Fact of the matter is ,,This is one of the most beautiful songs ever written, and It helps a lot of people cope with life through faith. I am not a person of great faith- but I certainly am when I listen to this song..
Well, the story is actually based on ancient Greek poem "Odyssey" by Homer, only put in early 20th century in USA.
Nevertheless, one GREAT movie, with the best of American gospel music. It is one of the most pleasing creations I have ever watched. And music - you can hear in the recording all those little imperfections, so it is clear it's not fake or heavily tweaked in studio. I suppose they just pressed "record" and let them sing and play, all together, just like in old times.
Atheist or not, you are here and revere a song that stirs your soul. I will not attempt to persuade you one way or the other but just the same, the music stirs the soul and brings an inner joy that no mortal man can explain, would you agree?
Excuse me, instead of insulting people with your vulgar language, maybe you could just enjoy the video YOU insisted on watching. Just because you have an opinion does not mean you need to express it in a disrepectful manner.
I do agree with Twnglck40s , never having seen the heavenly lights either I think this is one of the greatest songs ever.(somehow a lot of bluegrass-gospels are fine songs)
@Anaris10 Pagan? So you're a Greek Farmer? Do you worship Zeus and Hera? Do you grow olives and war with neighboring city states after your crops are all planted? Oh God, you don't engage in pedophilia too do you? Ugh!
Or do you just not understand what the word "Pagan" originally refers to and are recklessly choosing to continue the popular misuse of a word that actually denotes a group of Hellenic farmers who decided against converting to Christianity when Emperor Constantine made it a law?
@Anaris10 Really? So you're on such familiar terms with the Creator that you prefer to calling him by his nickname (god) rather than his full name (God)?

For anyone who is looking for a biblical explanation of the gospel and salvation, I would highly recommend checking out the scribd website that is listed on my channel. The scripture references given on there make it very clear and easy to understand.
Gosh when i hear this song it takes me back to when i was a child and hearing my grandmother sing it in church or to us when she gave us a bath! I love it
I grew up listening to bluegrass didn't think much of it. Now that ive aged 30 sum odd years, I listen to it all the time, interesting how our childhood comes full circle. Love the same music my dad did!
AN ATHEIST...MMM SEEMS TO ME IF YOU LIKE THIS SONG THAT IS GOD PULLING AT YOUR HEART ST'RINGS..HE STILL LOVES YOU AND WANTS YOU TO ACCEPT HIM ..AND YOU DONT EVEN BELIEVE IT ..IM PRAYING FOR YOU
My mom passed away last Tuesday...we buried her on Friday. I taught all the grand babies this song and they sang it at her funeral. I know that she was smiling and singing along!
@TheBFrizz Bless your heart hon. I lost my sweet Mother past Janurary and it was her favorite. It was played through out her viewing. I am sorry for your loss TheBFriz. Respectfully H>E>Hodge
I grew up in the family of a professed atheist scientist. Oddly, though, every Sunday morning, bluegrass gospel blasted on the Hi-Fi. When we finally got a stereo, I was amazed at the beauty revealed of the harmonies on separate speakers. This song was one of them. I get weepy from nostalgia.

heh....don't quit your day job. I gave up the opiate 30 years ago. I listen because Alison's voice is beautiful, I enjoyed the movie, and I enjoy folk music.
Your words....yours...that one could not listen to this music and still think there is no god.....if you don't understand what YOU wrote, no way you'll understand what anyone else does.....
Yes I absolutely said that and I stand by my word, I also said I was influenced by more than just this song, you are not out of your mind, nor am I, but you obviously did not understand what I said. And if you don't believe, then why are you listening to this song? I'll tell you why, because you believe in the Bible (or at least part of it).
@CFBurnz88rod This is an old slave song that refers to how dying is a better alternative to a life in bondage. I like it because I like bluegrass and this song has historical significance to the South. I'm an atheist but like the slave hymns because they have perspective on life.
An atheist you claim to be, then assert slaves songs which reinforce the lie of an afterlife to secure their enslavement throughout the only one they have have a perspective?

Or do you just not understand what the word "Pagan" originally refers to and are recklessly choosing to continue the popular misuse of a word that actually denotes a group of Hellenic farmers who decided against converting to Christianity when Emperor Constantine made it a law?

@Anaris10 Really? So you're on such familiar terms with the Creator that you prefer to calling him by his nickname (god) rather than his full name (God)?

For anyone who is looking for a biblical explanation of the gospel and salvation, I would highly recommend checking out the scribd website that is listed on my channel. The scripture references given on there make it very clear and easy to understand.

I grew up in the family of a professed atheist scientist. Oddly, though, every Sunday morning, bluegrass gospel blasted on the Hi-Fi. When we finally got a stereo, I was amazed at the beauty revealed of the harmonies on separate speakers. This song was one of them. I get weepy from nostalgia.

Yes I absolutely said that and I stand by my word, I also said I was influenced by more than just this song, you are not out of your mind, nor am I, but you obviously did not understand what I said. And if you don't believe, then why are you listening to this song? I'll tell you why, because you believe in the Bible (or at least part of it).
CFBurnz88rod 11 months ago
@CFBurnz88rod This is an old slave song that refers to how dying is a better alternative to a life in bondage. I like it because I like bluegrass and this song has historical significance to the South. I'm an atheist but like the slave hymns because they have perspective on life.
angrynadya 10 months ago
@angrynadya I'm from Lake Charles, LA so yes I am from the south, and yes you are correct.
The Apocalypse, the end of the world as we know it, frees one from the contemporary
world’s hardships. This is a great song no less, no matter what your beliefs are.

Do you do logical contradictions competitively?
An atheist you claim to be, then assert slaves songs which reinforce the lie of an afterlife to secure their enslavement throughout the only one they have have a perspective?
A perspective of what? Delusion?
