Mandolin Orange - Cavalry !

Over the last few years, Mandolin Orange has shared bills with Rosanne Cash, Chatham County Line, the Steep Canyon Rangers and Abigail Washburn, and traveled as far as the UK to perform at festivals, including Ulster's 21st Annual Bluegrass Festival, Shakori Hills Grassroots, and Hopscotch Music Festival.

I had heard this song many times and liked it but I always thought it was about a cavalry soldier. About two years ago I was injured and had surgery and a long recovery, so now to me it literally means I'm saving my strength for running. Beautiful tune from a great band

I think of my daddy. He’s a veteran of the Iraq war who must of saved dozens of lives-quite honestly. His fellow soldiers would have been destroyed without his efforts, because he took it upon himself to steal supplies for them that the army officials were too uncoordinated to use. He’d skip lunch to do this. He came back with severe PTSD that has been amplified by two decades of alcoholism(he’s been a year sober, wonderfully). And he’s treated just as poorly as any other veteran. He has tinnitus and hernias, and an unknown condition thought to be from a parasite in the Iraqi water, that the Veteran’s Association has claimed aren’t “war related.” But he’s my war horse, and he’s the war horse of so many others. I’ve performed(covered) this song once for him as a gig. And I am too very grateful that Andrew and Emily have man such a meaningful song, because it is, even if it’s about Calvary horses

Great song. Reminds me of America. Simon And Garfunkel.
