I've Seen It Both Ways (Original feat. Gabe Terracciano)

With everything still set up for "The Race Is On" (except for one dead light), Gabe and I decided we weren't done playing, and he asked if I had any originals I wanted to perform. I had this on hand as a draft from the week before, so we cut it. This year has been a very, very challenging one for me in terms of mental health and physical health (my back issues), so I suppose I was reflecting on that.

Such beautiful work man. Absolutely timeless yet personal writing and a good performance to boot.

[@carsonmckeemusic]

Thanks my friend ☺

[@hernanliotti6600]

You should recorded together!!

[@JackFlaps]

I hope there`s more coming from The Other Favorites in the not too distant future.

[@marioc63]

Gabe can play those fiddle strings!

[@biggieed949]

Just to show how far from it’s roots that country music has strayed. I’m a 77 year old man and I know time and music will change but how can the world not recognize the purity of this country music. Carson and his friends are producing the best songs and are not getting the recognition they deserve. Hang in there people ,with talent like this its bound to come back. Thanks Carson-You’re the best.

[@davemurphy1]

This is great, sentiment and fiddle playing.

[@fragwagon]

Great song and good gracious what a pure fiddle tone, the pure fiddle tone of the world

[@ronaldszudy8184]

You and Gabe really mesh. This type of song is really great for you.

[@steveblomerth]

The Other Favorites, with friends like Gabe Terraciano, that will be a great album to look forward to. With this tune included.

[@joelmckee2718]

Carson, this is the shit!! Willie, Ray Price, The Possum, Patsy Cline... They all haunt this song and live within it! This song is indeed finished! Anything added would be a detraction. Gabe is not only a smart man, but a damn fine fiddle player (understatement)! Together you guys are money!! Keep after it!!!

[@chris66mw]

Impressive. This would fit right in on my grandpa's greatest country cassette of all time

[@viobass15]

This is a beautiful song. I remember asking Carson if he had any original tunes he wanted to record and he said this one wasn’t finished yet but we could give it a try. As soon as I’d heard it through I thought it sounded like someone wrote a sequel to “Together Again” by Buck Owens. It’s difficult to add a second voice into a song that already has such a strong identity, but I was happy to try my best. Always grateful to make music with you, dude!

[@carsonmckeemusic]

Appreciate that, man-I didn’t *think* the song was complete until I heard you play on it. Thank you for that, and until next time!!

[@MaryAnnBeaven]

I’m a big fan of yours, Gabe; and Carson too, of course. Your participation in the Halloween livestream with The Other Favorites a few years ago was awesome!

[@GhostontheMoor]

This is a beautifully crafted song, you're singing as well as ever, and Gabe's sensitive playing is just the icing on the cake. Great work, guys.

[@chinchorrero]

I keep coming back to this song ❤👍👍👍👍

[@casciottisongs]

You have an old country soul that is just as relevant today. I love your original songs

[@FrankLeePlaying]

My other favorite of The Other Favorites! And, Gabe, your singing and playing was perfect. Hang in there, Carson.

[@magfor61]

I do not make it a habit to comment on every video. Not really sure how many people read and I was not going to write anything. Oh my goodness, that was a very fine piece of music and thoroughly enjoyed it.

[@carsonmckeemusic]

Thank you for commenting!! I don’t always get to read everything, but I’m glad I saw yours.

[@brittanyfrost1427]

May the challenges of your year become less burdensome. Thank you for continuing to share your art - it provides such a wonderful escape for the rest of us.

[@mediamannaman]

Love these classic songs. I used to listen to this on the radio back in the... wait, what? This is new and original? Well, it SOUNDS like a classic to me. Beeeeyootiful!

[@beverlymichael5830]

I could listen to you guys all night. Please do a CD together.

[@happygimp5167]

Wow, guys! I very much enjoyed this! Thanks so much!

[@SpicyCurryWurst519]

Two Carson and Gabe videos in 2 weeks? We are truly blessed. Loving the font you used for the title. Great recording as always.

[@elxakiltse8773]

damn, that is a great song! I can’t believe you wrote that. I thought you were covering a classic that I had never heard! I had to check the title again. Amazing!

[@mrbob8317]

Me too, I felt the same way and did the same thing. Great job Carson. Thank you.

[@joejoesguitarinventions]

outstanding quality...old school new school 🎸👍👍

[@beckywatts502]

That song is FABULOUS!!! Why hasn't a record producer grabbed you up and signed you! I think this is my favorite original.

[@arnelarsen4379]

A Carson original is the real deal!

[@kevindunleavy4532]

That was just fantastic. Two great musicians showing real passion in what you do. Don't stop the music..............

[@royasandoval]

Great tune! I'm a Bluegrass guy so I'm a somewhat partial to the C&W, Bluegrass and Old Time. As to the other issues. It's tough to be vulnerable...takes some juevos. I'll share a smidge. I'm 64. By all accounts, I suppose I've had some good success. Great kids (your age or so) who have been pretty successful musicians as well as professionals. Cool grandkids. A great 41 year marriage. Pretty close to the top position in my state for my profession. Now hear this: I STILL HIT EMOTIONAL TROUGHS. I still hit the, "Well, you could of, would have, should have." I have to fight through, knowing that it will pass. In the meantime, what do I do? I make myself get up and get out (seeking interaction which is what I don't want while in the trough). I try to encourage others. I consistently exercise including hiking, jogging and strength training. I am alcohol and drug free. I do everything possible to keep some elements of routine. I eat right. I continue to play music but resist the urge to "sink" into it expecting the reflection to extract me. I pray...yes pray. I'm sounding like a dad to his kid...can't help it. In any case. Hope something useful arises from the discourse. Keep moving forward my friend.

[@kathidori8504]

Thank you for your testimony. I'm sure, it will encourage Carson and many others.

[@MsTarheelNative]

Yes, thank you - Carson's Mom.

[@williammartin2275]

Love the country vibe. Gabes contribution and harmonies are spot on. And your voice Carson is perfect for country music 🎶

[@donaldneumeyer4423]

Awesome Carson and Gabe!

[@Uff1234]

I keep forgetting this is an original. It has such a warm nostalgic feel to it. Like the country music of old.

[@bigsquatchsasfoot1964]

Wow , so beautiful wonderful playing wonderful song and beautifully sang brilliant 👏👏

[@yorkazuna5934]

Wow, Great song Carson!

[@guermeisterdoodlebug7980]

Really nice. You’re fortunate to have that accompaniment. Sure wish I had that voice.

[@robbykband]

I just love the two of you, it sounds just so beautiful. You know what would be great for the two of you, Amarillo By Morning

[@sourisvoleur4854]

Love how the fiddle enriches the song. Great job both of you!

[@GretschProf]

Well done. Simple but sweet acoustic music.

[@chrisisthedude1]

You should be very proud of this one. What a simple and profound melody. I always say “a well-written song induces synesthesia.”, and this song definitely made me see and feel the excitement and heartbreak of life’s ups and downs. I’ve felt them both my brother.

[@curtismmichaels]

When I was young my mom told me the best art, of any kind, can be experienced by more senses than the obvious ones. That simple sentence opened my mind and made room for greater depths and joys.

[@chinchorrero]

I am back (I love this song!)👍❤️

[@62mhc]

That was truly wonderful

[@garytowardmusic]

Rushes to listen!!! Well well well what a gem this song is !!! Knowing you, you always bounce back from your health issues. This song is meaningful and sung and played with your usual precision. Always a fan of whatever you do. Keep going

[@jimprescott5216]

This is so good. You guys have terrific chemistry, and I've really enjoyed these last two

[@rocketpost1]

Great song, performance and perfect violin. Nice chord choices too.

[@JackFlaps]

outstanding job guys. the sad fiddle works well

[@danielrossetto8094]

Great collection gents. Please do more!

[@daleshewchuk3523]

You and your soul brother, Gabe are a natural fit.I hope that by continuing to produce such wonderful music that you are able to regain the excellent health that you deserve.

[@annjmo]

My soul sang along with you today

[@hikerglenn]

Great tune Carson, songs like that help me heal too….Gabe’s playing is wonderful as well.

[@H.Allen.C]

Great job men. Thank you.

[@lindaevans6288]

Carson. You are so talented! This song is excellent and expresses the human condition in a simple yet elegant manner. Please keep writing and recording songs from your heart. They are most appreciated.

[@paulmartin8212]

nice tune. I like the chord progression using what sounded like a diminished chord.

[@rizzidepizzi]

Nice, guys, this was really beautiful. One of those songs on which you can drift away on this cold, but sunny morning (Netherlands). Thx!

[@MrPlod999]

easy on the ears, nice one Carson...you're improving with age!

[@christyler975]

[@gantte]

Carson - Hang in there - Love your music and talents - There will be better days, I have been there - just reach out to medical professionals - took me 8 months.

Awsome

[@JeremyDelValle-368]

you would think a microphone company would sponsor you

[@kathidori8504]

Is it a natural law, that great artists must suffer more? Would your art be so fine without you being sensitive? Aren't you able to feel greater joys than us? We never will be able to thank you enough for sharing your art. ❤

Blurring the line between violin and fiddle.

[@liquidmath4045]

Why exactly don't you have a recording contract? You should move to Nashville. You are an incredible performer, as good or better than most of the "stars" out there.
