This song changed my life. No shit. I awoke to this on a Jay Leno Tonight Show. Aoife, Chris, Edgar, Stuart became part of my passion. Yo-Yo was raised much higher on my altar. Even my insane appreciation of bluegrass music really began that night. I fight the tears in my eyes as I sing along.."fall not winter, spring not summer, cool not cold. Where it's warn not hot have we all forgotten that we're getting old". This song truly changed my life. It's not been the same ever since, and I am ever thankful.

I cannot express how much I appreciate that Chris unmistakably begins this performance by saying "1, 2, 3, don't fuck up"

It was Stuart Duncan who said that. You can tell because the '3' and the 'don't' overlap. I almost got sent to the principles' office in highshcool orchestra when I tried the same thing to the first violinist after I saw this video the first time. I was saved only by virtue of the argument that if the greatest Bluegrass fiddler of our time can say it so can I deep in the second-violin section of an unremarkable highschool orchestra.

Agreed! Please make a second goat rodeo album @yoyoma !

Notice when the bass kicks in with the pulse that the rest of the group just lets loose. What a brilliant song.

This song makes me realize how Americana/folk will always be a powerful genre in modern music. Props to Chris and Aoife for constructing such a mesmerizing piece. Flawlessly executed, and boy is it fun to watch them hit the chorus at 100MPH. Such intensity, talent, and power in this whole group. Wowza.

Chris Thile probably has my favorite accompanying male voice of all time. That guy just sounds great doing parts.

My favorite song of all time, hands down.

Just saw Chris and Aoife in Raleigh last weekend. It was wonderful. Can’t express how much I love their music. Aoife’s voice. Chris’s musicianship. I get the feeling that Chris never sleeps. And he’s clearly obsessive over tuning, just like all the other greats.

Crooked still has been my go to favorite bluegrass band for years, then I found Goat rodeo and was blown away that legends like Yo Yo Ma and Chris Thile are working together , and now this is the cross over of the century

Hats off to the sound engineer. Stellar sound quality!

They just put a smile on your face. The ability to get together with such amazing musicians and jam and just discover what comes out. I cannot imagine how fun that was. Aoife O'Donovan also has an amazing voice just beautiful, like it was created for this song.

Aoife O'Donovan's voice sits beautifully in this piece; the timbre of her voice nestled tastily like an egg in a basket.

I love how the music starts with a quiet layer, then another & another, building plaintive urgency with the voices, then Yoyo’s cello, but really catching fire with Edgar bringing in the base rhythm…🤗

Aoife's voice is amazing. When I first heard her singing on Crooked Still's rendition of 'Come in My Kitchen' I was blown away. It is such a gift to watch artists who are so in the zone -- and to watch and hear the energy build and build is astonishing. It doesn't get any better.

Among other things, I just love how Yo Yo Ma brings his 'chops' to traditional music.

It's over, and you realize it should have been longer, so you listen to it again. And again, and..... The open back banjo sound is perfect in this song.

When I hear music this good it makes me want to quit. It doesn't get any better than this. The last minute is painfully wonderful !!!

Absolutely love the use of the viols. I wish people used them more in other styles of music besides renaissance and baroque.

This song and album have lead me on a neo bluegrass journey in its fifth year. Just a great ride including Sarah Jarosz, Aoife , Chris, I’m with Her, Nickel Creek , Crooked Still, Steve Martin , The Felktones , the Kruger Bros. So rich with great music

Sublime. This is what separates humans from the other species on this good Earth.

it's been years, and i've listened to it a lot of times, but this performance still blows my fuckin head off

My birth mother shared this with me while she was working through her cancer treatments. It’s a beautiful song that gave her hope. Thank you.

This seems like they've reached some sort of pinnacle of artistry, some peak I haven't heard in a long time, if ever. Yo Yo Ma and everyone here shine so amazingly. I can only thank each one of you and whoever else was responsible for getting this incredible performance accomplished and sent out to the world.

Beyond incredible !

I fracking love this album! I bought it when it first came out.. always loved Yo Yo Ma.. He's such a diverse artist. Love the flavor .. like old mountain music.

What magic happens when the energies and talents of great musicians synchronize. Thank you!!

Beautiful blending of vocal and string harmonies during the Chorus segment. It touches the soul.

This one's the standout on a GREAT album, and made me purchase it on iTunes. I really can't decide which artist impresses me the most on this album, or this song. Ms. O'Donovan, the guest vocalist, had to pack a lunch to keep up with this set of gents... and she managed superbly. She and Chris Thile are squeezing every last bit out of themselves for this. Which is what it takes to make something that hits me so squarely where I live. Great music. Great video. It's great to be alive.

It's been over 3 years and this is still my favorite song ever. A perfect balance of vocals and instrumental, with no one battling for the lead. Thank you for giving us such an amazing piece!

Although we all get old, this never does!

Chris Thile blows me away. Went and saw Nickel Creek last year and they did a three hour concert of the most technical high energy music. When they did an encore I was worried they'd pass out on the stage, instead they brought it home.

I was blessed to see Chris Thile & Aoife O’Donovan perform this LIVE backed up by the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra (her husband, Eric Jacobsen, is the conductor/music director :) last Saturday, Feb 25, 2023. It was a larger than life, yet meditative, experience in contrast to the sublime intimate studio moment. Not sure if this was their intention but my response to this amazing song, as a Christian, was to challenge myself to do better with what time remains to me on Earth, reconcile with those I may have wronged (or not forgiven) and not distract myself with narcissistic excuses. Am I reading too much into it?

The people who thumbs down this have no idea what music is and should go back to listing to whatever crap they listen to. It doesn't get any better than this! AMAZING musicians! I've seen most of these people play live and they are the best of the best. 100 years from now musicians will be reading about them in history books. Edgar, Yo Yo, and Chris are the best this planet has to offer!

This album just an awesome fusion of jazz, folk, Irish, and more.

Equally blown away as the guy below!

Real musicians! Real Art! Great Voices! Great Songs! Bring music like this back to the front line

Love his smile at 2:53 - because she's really good. Real musicians.

Perfection. The Finest Ever Played. Go back to "Old and in the Way" to See where it started. Perfection.

Oh my, this transcends great music into an area for which I don't have words. I understand that these musicians have crossed over into pure artistry.

Wow! Awesome! Really powerful. Thank you!

Just amazing...

this song is just sooooo good everytime it hits that deep spot...you know..

Spectacular. And for the trolls out there who think Aoife doesn't belong in their company - don't you think they had options? I personally love Aoife's voice and her songwriting, but I appreciate that she might not be to everyone's taste. Fine, but seriously, there are four world-class musicians in this video who have a world of choice, and for whatever crazy reason decided they'd like to record with her. But hey, this is KZread, feel free to declaim on your superior taste in music.

This is my first time listening to her as well - that I'm aware of, and I must say, it is a real treat here, but I can also tell where they're helping to carry her a little, not in a bad nor condescending way at all though that I can tell, just giving and complementary to the overall quality of the piece. If anyone is taking issue with her here, I can only guess that they don't understand nor have an ear for real music, maybe only music theory, or something. These guys are so far up on their game that without a doubt I'm sure this is a breath of fresh air to them, and the lot of them shine brilliantly here. This is raw talent and mastered skill at its best.
