Mandolin Orange - Life On A String

[@gidyou567]

The way she keeps so carefully listening to him while doing her fiddle parts and the supporting vocal always amazes me.

[@littlelionman24]

its called love.. love for their music, love for him, love for whats to become.. it doesnt change over the many years they've been together if you keep watching them

[@andrewwong9376]

I love these two. Their chemistry, their style, and I love more and more of their music.

[@sajordan3428]

Oh Mandolin Orange is on my list of young people echoing our roots, Ruth Moody and Wailing Jenny’s, Gillian Welch, Trampled By Turtles, Dead South, the list is long and great, I really thought for a few years we had lost a generation, instead the reward has been so rich.

[@johnfrantz3945]

I'm late to the party. I've seen hundreds of their videos on YT, but this remains one of my favorite songs and performances.

[@somecallmetim46]

To think this was just a year into their duo, and they're THIS GOOD ALREADY?!!

[@johnhutchison2268]

As a Scot I love how this grass roots music connects back with the `irish/Scots that went to America that were pioneers across the Appalician.

[@berlingolingoful]

it's your legacy manifest through time and space.

[@andrewwong9376]

Ok Olaf Hairyfoot, and Olga Bungeye.., spare us PLS.

[@donnaprobes7097]

This is the brightest young duo I’ve seen in a long, long time. Their music and arrangements are impeccably tasteful.

[@4Truth4All]

I can't get enough of them. Remarkable talents!

[@tahoma6889]

This is likely the greatest example of love any of us will ever see.

[@michaelwattie489]

Great to see you so young, I hope this song is still an active part of your repertoire , it's lovely. Thanks, as always much warmth and respect

[@samd1405]

This song stopped a crying baby in his tracks. He froze and stood watching for the duration, mesmerized.

[@kaku8223]

+Sam D he thought angels were singing but something was off ?

[@ziggyzettel6668]

Music soothes the savage breast. (William Congreve)

[@jacquesblaque7728]

Being seriously hooked on these two for some years, it was a real pleasure this summer to see them (all 5) live, and say hi to Emily- one charming lady. Totally confirmed my suspicions. As expected, they made a lot of new friends/fans. IMO they give hope.

[@marionhathaway1288]

feels my heart with joy love Mandolin Orange watching from PC FL

[@albertomoryusefisrael1205]

this music is magic;coming from above!!

[@melodydent1074]

one of my favorites but I say that about all their music

[@gregormiller4037]

Please listen to there take on Dylan's : Boots Of Spanish Leather, I think you will like.

[@CrustyWhiteBread]

This here song ages like the finest wine.

[@chadedwardelliottclan9341]

Thank you so very much _ please continue to do what you do - gracefully!

[@gerrymacmcgowin2099]

Absolutely the best duet, Folk Sound To Come Along in years! I wish for them nothing but success!!

[@daviddishman7491]

A delightful combination - great track.

[@jeremyweyerman9674]

Just goes to show, good music is still out there. You just have to look a little harder to find it.

[@jacquesblaque7728]

"Look harder"? I think not, there is so much available, if you know whereabouts to look, and where to avoid.

[@thestraydawgs]

You are totally right. To find good music now, you need to be a searcher. Not on mainstream radio, not on TV, BUT it is out there. There are thousands of fantastic undiscovered and unheard musicians and songwriters. It's almost like we have reverted to the old days of passing down songs and stories from one village to another. Just now, it is on the internet, on KZbin, or at little local radio stations. Thank God there are a few left.

[@johnpalgrave6998]

Two of the best, to watch, to look at, and to listen to.

[@justpaulette]

They look so young. And wise and it just got more wonderful.

[@m1a1abrams93]

Going to see them in Frederick Md. Nov 24th. Isn't it here yet ?

[@blahdiddyda]

I love the power she brings with her fiddle to his voice in songs :D

[@KaptainKlunk1]

Shed love the power of my fiddle,,,🤐😉😁😋

[@johnfrantz3945]

@@KaptainKlunk1 I'm back to re-listen to this in 2021. And you're so right, Emily's fiddle playing is magic.

[@richardalanprow283]

These two are as good as it gets!!

[@Blue-mn7dy]

This song is so beautiful 😍

[@schpoingle]

So good...after all these years...

[@thetask1]

[@erudite1579]

Geeh whiz, these two do strike a chord ... in the heart.

[@patrickalaggio3560]

Wonderful duo... looking forward to hearing more. Thank you!

[@shainburks6574]

Love your music, spirit and soul

[@conormaguire6633]

Gorgeous. And right from the soul of Clem Snide. But with a beautiful & stunning female vocal...

[@TooTachy]

just wow. This is exactly what i was looking for when i was searching for Indie Folk. Their voices are perfect

[@jw8930]

I feel like this should be playing in the background when I tell her I can't do this anymore

[@fneils]

Most excellent! Looking to forward to hearing y'all this Friday in Carrboro!

[@cathleenberreie9768]

@blakeswagtharrington Thanks blake, yes i found it awhile back, downloaded it and it remains one of my favorites.

[@johnspencer5062]

talent

[@alphatauran]

Extremely unappreciated talent,. But I sure appreciate it.

[@wzmb913]

Thanks Alan! So do we!

[@twohandband]

Appreciated by some of us, anyway.

[@errolfellows409]

MANDOLIN ORANGE is bloody brilliant - duo, quintet, whatever! I discovered this band by chance about 2 months ago. I'm South African - I live in Durban, on the east coast - and nobody to whom I have spoken knows of them. I've tried 1 major chain record store - blank fucking looks from a young dude who probably thinks that rap ain't crap!

[@blakeswagtharrington]

@dmccoig little quiet room. thats the name of the cd. andrew is my cousin.

[@kellyfuchs9192]

LIFE ON A STRING If all this is easy and all that we need we’ve fallen behind, we’ve fallen behind you can dig all you like and make a big pile and sing all the while, and sing all the while But you’re just a boy who strummed the right chord and I’m just a boy who gave an ear write, it’s alright, I’m shedding my skin instead of these tears Swimming alone and torn in between life in a dream or life on a string living atop our own little hills perched for the kill, we’re perched for the kill and you’re just a boy who strummed the right chord and I’m just a boy who gave an ear write, it’s alright, I’m shedding my skin instead of these tears If love was the light first seen at our birth and then all the earth, and then all the earth how can it fall so far behind try to remind me, and I’ll try to remind But you’re just a boy who strummed the right chord and I’m just a boy who gave an ear write, it’s alright, write, it’s alright, write

[@risumotus]

Thank you!

[@unclebobunclebob]

would that be "right" instead of "write"?

[@kellyfuchs9192]

unclebobunclebob intended, i’d say.

[@toeknee7422]

like peanut butter and jelly, some things are just meant to be together!

[@pascarmom]

Well said! I feel the same way about them!

[@zzames]

great stuff. drop the band, keep the duet

[@shaftomite007]

[@markwilliams8532]

It sounded just as good when i saw them.It was alittle club so it was kind of like personal. Like to seem them again some time..you should too.

[@markwilliams8532]

[@Jeff-jg7jh]

Jeez, 3:45 What is that? She's moving her lips but, well, I don't know what's going on there. Great harmony? I guess.

[@nightfrailer]

Umph. Good.

[@thommeredith6329]

well, thanks for that -

[@TLan14]

Holy shit this makes me want to learn to play violin

[@adammaccannell3510]

In this case, you'd be the boss!

[@dumena]

So, five years later, did you give the violin a try?
