The Gundersen Family - "Doxology/Poor Man's Son/Down To The River To Pray" // Ballard Sessions

[@kasayyib]

Still one of my most favorite music videos ever.

[@zacharyswain7034]

how beautiful for a whole family to have such voices and make this art together

[@tommydeamon7657]

Beyond words wow.....

[@zatchery1]

This is real folk. It's not a genre like most would like to think. It's about family, community and (most importantly) rejoicing in and out of hardships. Noah exemplifies this through and through. To hear his brokenness in the same song that he celebrates difficulty and adversity is simply a testament to his truth.

[@openveracity]

Been watching and sharing this video for years. Doesn't get old

[@PartywithSaul]

this is what music is supposed to be

[@onelovenah]

see how Noah keeps the flow going for all of them. he holds the sacred space for them to bare their souls. a true bringer of light

[@savanna7382]

Never noticed till this comment, thank you for sharing.

[@trashbandic00t]

I've learned over the past two years that faith and religion are very different things, and although I don't believe in God, I do believe in faith. And every time I lose faith, over the past few years, Noah has always pulled me back in. It doesn't always have to do with religion. Sometimes it's just about strength and family and belief in yourself. And he always reminds me of that.

"Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it." Proverbs 22:6 NKJV . I am, what I am. This is some of the music I grew up around...

[@Debjean0]

I've supported Noah before he was famous. His entire family is so talented! Love listening to the harmony!

[@Steel_Runner]

Wow all I can say..... Just fantastic!!

[@MiSSDHAiRNMAKEUP]

[@0neven439]

[@TheBigyoc]

This is water to my soul.

[@fremontabbey]

[@KatieKrupin]

Ohhhh how glad I am to find a recording of this! It was so profoundly moving to see and hear them do this live! **shiver of delight**

[@bcfuncouple]

Beautiful....awesome voices.....much more talented than alot of the "pop" stars of today

[@portofly94]

the songs they blend so perfectly, the voices up in here are going ham, damn damn damn.

[@ZachBlaustone]

Some Amazing talent here... Reminds me of Mumford and Sons... Love it:)

[@Cola21212]

broken and beautiful, sinning and saintly

[@chgenerationx]

This is the first time I've teared up during a song.

[@sachikenobi]

This reminds me of the song from O Brother Where art thou.. mesmerizing.

[@jeremiahthedude]

These people are just beautiful.

[@mynameisjon18]

Last year I went to austria and Italy, with a choir that I am involved in and we song in a whole bunch of different cathedrals...This has made me very picky about singing in spaces like that. This performance was incredible, and there it nothing i would change. The over-tones worked so well, and all of their harmonies were 100% right every time. Beautiful! They should sing in places like this more often!

[@kirbyjwhite]

@lisst17 Youngest brother and sister, Johnny and Elizabeth. They have their own band named La Wrens.

[@michellehall1268]

Love all of your music

[@shawndamario770]

How I would love to marry into that family...

[@erikahoxeng9501]

Loved the smooth harmony!

[@waterface5]

I'm not religious, but got dam. Thanks for this. And bless you all.

[@RIDETHESUNSHINE]

When the roots are deep, there is no reason to fear the wind. ~Chinese Proverb . Hearts of Faith will understand why this quote above fits with this video. I am what I am... for a reason.... The Lord will show you the way, but you will still have to do the walking... Please Be Well, and Stay Strong on Your Journeys, Will.

[@madinator847]

[@lathoroughbred]

This is good music. Awesome thanks for sharing.

[@wewereinfinitenc]

[@Monteilmare]

Still so perfect

[@LauraCuthbert]

Oh my goodness. Gorgeous.

[@ilikzim]

one word: beautiful

[@frotographyphoto]

I wasn't so sold on the album version of this and as a result on the song in general, but after listening to this I can see how much it really means, and it's made me love it that much more.

[@vintagerugged3848]

Where can I get this album?

[@aaaak4]

the recorded version sadly often didnt have the charm of the live performances. they are amazing live.

[@fredo1256m]

Oh my god! Amazing voices. Thanks so much for sharing this.

[@mariaarmagnague3482]

God bless thème!!!

[@micheller79]

the harmony a blood connection makes is unbelievable. Heard Noah on SOA, so glad I found this.

[@HawkAPedia]

I love this... My heart is broken.. I love them... Good job.. Amen.

[@grahamhartle9124]

This is so incredibly haunting and beautiful

[@greerlovesgovert]

Amazing! I've been listening to this one recording for an hour and singing along in public!

[@joshuawest4823]

[@thobraa]

Thank you! This resonates so deep.

[@GenerationActzYouth]

JEdgarWallace that "killing me softly" feeling is called the Holy Spirit. Let His love embrace you! :)

[@lisst17]

What are the names of the other two people in this? Not Noah and Abby..

[@THEspindoctor84]

I was yearning for some nice folk vocal bends though during the doxology

[@imagomonkei]

The Gundersen girls are gorgeous.

[@tommyleinonen]

Where was this recorded?! The acoustics are beautiful

[@wtf99times]

[@Mereltjemootje]

You can use www.youtube-mp3.org/nl to download it on your phone.

[@kargelr]

I know that Noah is essentially agnostic. They were all raised in church though, so they could be in a range of mindsets.

[@Jackzay90]

Ima start a band called The Ugly Brother.

[@AbbyMore]

aren't they playing in a church? I think i know what you mean though. ;)

[@aureliagaar2408]

[@leonardodalongisland]

"Are" my cousins dear. Not "is."

[@jamoebaggins1992]

[@RxDawg94]

Actually, that's Noah. Confirmed by his brother, Jonny.

[@kargelr]

How is it that the best religious music comes from non-religious people? Dang.

[@phoebedierdorff9496]
