come josephine in my flying machine by Blanche Ring 1910

[@upsdontknow]

TITANIC BROUGHT ME HERE!

[@herhere4714]

this has so much more personality than i ever knew!

[@VladAndreis]

People back then had absolutely no idea how big and important aviation would become in just a few decades. This song came out at a time when people were fascinated with the idea of soaring like a bird in the sky. It's as close to the turn of the 20th century as you could get. It's amazingly beautiful!

[@giibii8574]

She looks and sounds like everyone’s favourite aunt ❤

[@Alivia112]

I just finished the last performance of an airplane play where I played Amelia Earheart. We used this song as a few of the transitional music places. And it is stuck in my head! x] I love this song and I'm 13... Am I weird? NOOOO because it's awesome!

[@agatelcia]

Now you're probably 24. I'm curious if you still like this kind of music. Today as i'm writing this, is 00:52 on 15th of April in 2022. It have been 110 years since the sinking of Titanic. I'm trying to pay tribute and respect for all people that witnessed this tragic moments.

[@AmeliaEarhart53756]

You played her?! That's so cool!!

[@ann_petiterose]

This is such a cheerful song to use in Titanic, which is a really sad movie.

[@samoyedharp4891]

...I knew I'd heard it somewhere, thank you! It's what Rose is singing when she's been lying (freezing) on the wood float for awhile, just before the rescuers come around, right?

[@mkl1988]

Can't believe this didn't make Pitchfork's Best of the 1910s

[@BB-bx4dp]

she didn't meet their oh-so-precious standards for great music

[@jtown2317]

You couldn’t take a step in the early 20th century without hearing Victrolas playing Ring’s distinctive soprano as she sang about an aviator taking his dearest gal to the moon in a flying contraption

[@errorgorilla]

Typical Pitchfork bullshit.

[@mayaestephan2697]

There are many kids who hate this music but I love it its so soothing

[@LG3cko]

I hate it because it sounds fucking creepy

[@friedrichii41]

@@LG3cko It's creepy because it's been preserved despite being recorded over a century ago on wax cylinders captured by a recording apparatus. It's not like they could pop on their smartphones, record it and have it done within the half-hour.

[@Neophage]

@@LG3cko What do you find so creepy about it?

[@LG3cko]

@@Neophage I played the game Layers Of Fear that game was set during the end of edwardian times the crackling sound of the speaker is just eerie and it sounds like the sort of song that you would hear in a basement in horror games and movies

[@Neophage]

@@LG3cko oh ok.

[@ng21644605]

Something about her voice that can not, nor needs to, be explained. "Magic" comes closest in my mind.

[@1joshjosh1]

My house was built in 1911!! That's what brought me here

[@natalieallen2864]

Love this ❤️ what a lovely song 😊

[@Superbook4Eva]

I first heard this recording in the American Experience documentary about Amelia Earhart and have been on a search for that song ever since. Finally found it and have a name to go with the voice! Thank you so much!

[@wkunzelman1]

a hundred years... -has a brief moment of amazement- Wow.

[@ColumRogers]

I absolutely love these old songs! Brilliant lyrics and deeply humorous too. :)

[@dplomin1954]

I love the picture of her at the end. A classy old lady!

[@Rollich]

Such a joyous song! Thanks for posting.

[@rebel2179]

I love the sound to these old songs like this

[@isabelle346]

I love this song so much! It's just wonderful! :)

[@便器からサダコ]

タイタニックで聞いてたからこんなに陽気な曲とは思わなかった！

[@juliantotriwijaya9208]

it has the quality of classic stage musical type of voice.

[@wachamcaulid]

Without the speech parts, I would be convinced that she does opera (Though I know the obvious differences now, this is what I would’ve thought before)

[@wastoois7]

just love this song!!100 years o WOW!

[@Vejlia]

Fantastic song. Certainly much better than some of the songs out today ;-D

[@mnjhvhkjjj]

love this !

[@AmaraEmme]

I love the pictures!

[@CA-xs6sr]

The Onion brought me here.

[@coolbluelights]

no electronics were used in this recording, it was all acoustic directly onto the record... amazing

[@mcsweeneyeva]

coolbluelights well I don’t think they had any electronics in 1910..

[@coolbluelights]

@@mcsweeneyeva There were, but they were still in the experimental stage. The DeForest audion was invented in 1906

[@quieterrps]

Just great ~ thanks!

[@velvetoren]

you are welcome,,old song always melody and forever remember

[@miss57x3]

"Come, Josephine, in my flying machine, going up, she goes up, up she goes" En bonne Française, je n'est découvert cette musique que grâce à Titanic

[@memphismane901omb6]

Without reading any comments first... Titanic brought me here...

[@eclecticdufus]

from Purple Label Victor 60032. rec. 12/22/10. Single-sided disc. This was a prestigious label category for Victor just below Red Seal. Interesting how most popular performers 100 years ago still adopted what we'd think of as classical operatic "placed" vocal method. Part of that would have been that voices had to carry in a time when there were no microphones.

[@perspect19]

wow 100 years.....amazing!!!

[@captainrich]

i know this song from Titanic it is so cool

[@velvetoren]

yes, not only the song, i guess also the picture,,maybe more than 100 years old

[@giselekivinen4411]

Blanche rocks!! As I listen to my son and daughter in law complain about their 10 hour flight from Montreal to Beijing, about flying in business class as opposed to cabin... they just don't get it do they? Did they notice that the moon was on fire?

[@emmachomao]

They just want to tell everyone that they had traveled in business class.

[@Allen-by6lm]

2018 👋

[@dallaspcc3886]

If the Unsinkable Molly Brown sang this song, it would sound just like this.

[@velvetoren]

@Superbook4Eva Ok,,,Thank you so much,,,,i wanna see the documentary along with this song since Amelia Earheart is one of my favorite person in history,,,,

[@viperford6840]

Everyone talking about titanic meanwhile I'm here from peaky blinders

[@victrolaman]

[@velvetoren]

[@simslady2000]

No this song is about the movie Titanic?

[@whatsittooya4608]

ally sage no. it was sung by rose and jack in the film

[@kalilmay]

Do you people realize that just because Lady Gaga may make a music style you don't like, it doesn't mean she's a bad singer. Lady Gaga is actually a really brilliant singer.

[@mikesands4681]

I think you posted a reply to the wrong video.

[@thelousyllama]

did we like start from her and end up with lady gaga now

[@Khloe_dancer_model]

😳😳 oh wow….good point..

[@vikigirl14997]

Is this meant to be Leonardo Da Vinci's wife, Josephine or seomthing? Cuz didn't he try and make a flying machine?

[@kalilmay]

Yeah, she's really good, but it's not about who's better.

[@MarenGermany]

[@BestHighJumperEvaa]
