I've never heard Dixie played so softly before. It's beautiful.
There's also a very mellow version in the movie Gone with the Wind
It truly is a different song played at this speed.
Throw in a few accompanying female vocals singing in an almost homesick, longing manner, with a few strategically placed minor chords it would have you weeping
"It is well that war is so terrible, or we should grow too fond of it."
-Robert E. Lee
and now that we have sanitized it, we have made it acceptable
No. Now it’s profitable
This has been my favorite version of this song since I first heard it on a cassette of Homespun Songs of the CSA back around 1993. I was in seventh grade, and a history nerd. I wore that cassette out. What a moving rendition.
The only time I'vee heard Dixie played this softly was at the begining of Gone With The Wind. Sad and somber. Beautifully done. ❤
I want this played at my funeral
And at my funeral,, My Way, by Frank Sinatra!
I do too.
@@thomasimalski7580 That’s… er… nah
Also i and the confederate flag on my casket and on my stone
This one has been my favorite rendition of Dixie since I first heard it watching The Civil War series when it originally aired. At the time, I was stationed in Parris Island, S.C. and living in Beaufort. Watched the series on Savannah's PBS station which I thought was pretty neat given the area's great Civil War history. Haven't heard a more beautiful version. It perfectly captures the mood of the heartrending memory of the South's loss in the war.
The rebels deserved it.
@@ohioanempire History's written by the victors.
A nice version !
General Robert E. Lee is still not forgotten !
All the soldiers who have fallen rest in peace!
Haha they’re burning in Hell buddy Lee and all of them
The worst of them were far better men than you'll ever be.

God that's moving :'( Guess I've visited too many Civil War battlefields to feel any other way.
Greetings from Poland brave Southerners!
@Idk Idk Even if they did fight for wich you speak (they did not) you could never be as brave as them, nor could I.
@@jackmurphy3940 They 100% did fight for slavery, regardless of the wishes of the individual soldier, they fought as a force to keep men in chains.
@@seanangelo7950 dude, I really don’t care what you think, facts are facts. So long
@@jackmurphy3940 It's not what I think, it's facts, Slavery was listed as the primary cause for succession on every single confederate state's articles of succession except Texas.
@@seanangelo7950 mmhmm
My boyfriend is from Ohio I am from Florida he heard this version and shed a tear
As poignant a version of 'Dixie' as I have ever heard. I just finished viewing episode 8 of "The Civil War" and had to look up who played it. There is nothing buoyant about this version, it reflects the sadness of defeat and over the horrific loss of life, on both sides of the conflict, to my ears at least. Thank you for sharing this.
Chris Maddox it can be interpreted however you want, just don't get upset over it...
I did not say or even imply that I was upset about this version of the song or indeed any version of it, only how heartfelt and poignant it is. I will go on to say that is beautiful. Please do project negativity where none exists or is offered. Thank you.
"please do project negativity where none exists or is offered"...okayyy my bad??????????
I mistakenly left out the 'not' after 'Please'. That was my mistake. So that you are absolutely clear, the intended statement was 'Please do not project negativity where none exists or is offered." Clear now?
Chris Maddox okay just don't give me attitude, why can't we make this a friendly space

@Very Trying Founding fathers were "traitors"/rebels.
@Very Trying Thought you were calling Southerners loyalist to tyranny or that the southern states committed treason.
During any wars, both sides are convinced that they are on the side of the angels and although our civil war was over two centuries ago it is always important to remember that this war was not against a foreign power looking to conquer us, this was a war of brother against brother. Let us not remember the ideals and politics of this war but let us remember all the men that died and how we can honor and remember them on all sides. Proud to be American, love and respect our history.🇺🇸 🇺🇸

So beautiful. ❤
An elegy for a lost civilization.... makes me think of the lines by Matthew Arnold “Wandering between two worlds, one dead. The other powerless to be born, With nowhere yet to rest my head. Like these, on earth I wait forlorn."
This version drew a tear to my eyes. When I hear this I think of the greats. Like Jackson, lee, Forrest, and many others! I wish people now days would at least have respect for the men that fought and died. You don't have to be a rebel like me but you can at least acknowledge that they died for our cause. RIP Southerners and SCREW the people who think I'm insane.
It was a poor cause. Nothing to be proud of.
Ya, fighting for independence is always a bad thing.
the cause was States rights, not slavery.
I agree there should be respect for all that died in that war.
The South supported the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 that placed federal authority above northern state and local governmental powers to return escaped slaves to their owners. So some strong federal power was okay apparently... if it supported slavery.
The Southern culture was, still is, and will ever remain the most beautiful culture and way of life on earth. Despite the North's attempts to destroy it during the Civil War, the legacy of the South lives on, and always will in the hearts and minds of her children. From Virginia, I can genuinely say that I am blessed to live where I do, and will never live elsewhere. The men who fought and died for the Confederacy did so in defense of their own homes and lands. While Federal soldiers were marching in a different country, the families of Southern soldiers often saw or heard the fighting, in their own fields, from their own homes... and to them, it wasn't about slavery, and often not even about state rights - it was about preserving a tradition and culture of freedom and beauty that many in the North had never known, and therefore did not understand the true pain and heartbreak they caused wherever they marched through the Southern streets, or burned the Southern homesteads; for to them, these were merely markings on a map, but to us (our ancestors) this was, and still is, and will ever be, our way of life.
We Northerners never wanted to destroy Southern culture, and we would have been just as happy to let you continue were it not for the torturing of other human beings. And it was indeed torture. You condemn us for marching through your streets and burning down your homes and places of business even though the CSA would have been just as inclined to do the same. I love the South, its music, its culture and the architecture of the 1800s down South was wonderful, and I mourn the death of any Dixie fellow as much as I would a Union fellow, but the cause of the South was no saintly manner either. It would do you well to know this. Anyway, my family has it's roots partly in Ireland and Germany, but also in the South. I sympathize plenty with you, but I don't rationalize a racist and sadistic society base. Even if those ideals have changed, I wouldn't want to live in a country that was based on the aforementioned ideals.
Many people on the other side of this argument are just haters, so I appreciate your sympathy. However, you should remember that racism was just as prevalent in the North as well as the South. Northerners abolished slavery only a few years before the war, so would you immediately then start holding the South to your own newfound standards? The Southern economy was dependent on slavery. I'm not defending slavery, it was a terrible practice in both the North and the South. But the Northern economy could rely on the immigrants coming in through the Northern port cities to work, while in the South there were not near as many workers to raise the high-labor crops such as cotton and tobacco. The North decided to abolish slavery because it was no longer financially beneficial to them. As soon as they did, they began looking down their long noses as the South, holding themselves as better than their neighbors. They had no consideration for their fellow citizens.
Yes, I realize that many Southerners had no consideration for blacks, but many also did. When people think of the South back then, they always think of rich plantation owners, the kind that controlled politics. However, the overwhelming majority of Southerners didn't even own slaves, and many more owned five or less.
Of course, many supported slavery, but because they wanted to see their states thrive economically, not because they hated blacks.
If you read the writings of Northern generals and leaders during the war, you will see that their strategy was to destroy the culture of the South, breaking the Southern people into submission, and destroying their will to fight.
No country in the history of the world was perfect or without flaws. I don't endorse slavery. I wish that the war could have never happened. But it did happen. And though there were things in the South that I don't agree with, there were far, far more evil practices in the North during the war (such as shutting down newspapers that spoke out against the government, jailing political speakers, and rounding up civilians over mere suspicion. They captured Southern women and children by force, some of them even being marched to the North to work in their "anti-slavery" factories. They destroyed homes, burned crops, tore up infrastructure, and even murdered civilians on occasion.
Yes, the South had practices such as slavery that are stains on our Southern history. But I could never, ever, as a Southerner, bring myself to align with the North and all the evil that they committed against the Southern people.
@@joseywales1439 that's really not true I've read plenty of northern generals and they didn't want to destroy the South's way of life in fact Lincoln and Grant agreed that they needed to welcome the southerners back into the country as brothers and fellow citizens when they surrendered at Appomattox they were treated amazingly well. Grant provided 30,000 rations for Lee's starving Army. And then you see instances like Joseph Johnston and William Sherman. Johnston who you would probably think would have despised Sherman yet Johnston literally killed himself carrying Sherman's casket in the rain knowing he would likely take sick and die as he did. Tell me that's not respect. No way Johnston would have done that for a man that he believed was trying to destroy their way of life. They had no intention of destroying the southern way of life they just wanted to stop the destruction of human beings who were seen as less than human by many Southern citizens and they wanted to preserve the Union also. In the end states rights don't come first after all it seems.
@@bigben028cards1 Politics then and politics today aren't really that different. Politics have always been the same. Of course Lincoln would SAY that they were going to welcome the Southerners back into the Union with open arms. He'd be opposed if he said contrary because that's what he led the people to believe he believed in. You ignore the fact that after the war, Federal troops still occupied the South for years, and Southerners were denied certain voting rights for a time.
During the war, Lincoln authorized the complete and total destruction of Southern infrastructure (as his generals "saw fit to the furtherance of the war effort," effectively saying that they could burn down and loot anything they wanted), be it military or civilian.
"Honest Abe," of course. He'd never tell a lie. If you really are going to believe everything that politicians say, then you're the kind of person who would gladly follow a dictator coming to power. Lincoln wasn't a dictator? He destroyed the Southern economy and culture, he authorized his generals to use violent force against civilians. Southern civilians (mainly women and children) were occasionally captured and marched North at bayonet point to work in these so-called anti-slavery factories. Federal artillery intentionally fired on civilian populations during sieges, even when Confederate lines were well away from the city.
Even in the North, Lincoln sent his soldiers to shut down newspapers that spoke out against him and even had certain political speakers jailed for not supporting his war.
Oh, and don't think that the rampaging Federal armies were the "saviors of the slaves." Slaves that they came across were almost always trodden over and rejected with extreme prejudice.
Saying that Southerners nothing but racist rebels is hypocrisy of the highest form. They were willing to defy all odds and do whatever it took to fight for their freedom. In the end, their homes were burnt to the ground, their crops were pillaged, their cities were destroyed, their families were torn apart, and their culture was destroyed, all by the orders of "Honest Abe."
Lincoln was a tyrant. Ironically, you accuse Southerners of denying history, while you are allowed to do so because ultimately history is written by the victors. This is exactly what it means to lose your freedom. When we forget where we came from, we can have no way of knowing where we're going. You can bellyache about Southern racism all you want, blindly following whatever tyrant declares him or herself to be pursuing a righteous cause. In the end, you will be the one who lives the rest of their life wondering what happened, while the rest of us never give up the fight for freedom.
The north did not fight to end slavery. They fought to preserve union. The abolitionist cause was not the cause of the majority of northerners. Alot of working class notherners feared the freed slaves would evacuate the south and take their jobs in the northern industrial cities, which led to labor riots after the war. They bore the same resentment toward the Irish famine refugees. Maryland had a secessionist movement in which the leading members and supporters were jailed. In those days Maryland was considered a southern state, they even retained slavery after the war started. Lincoln was not some great emancipator as he is portrayed. Gen. Sherman even stated he did not mind slavery in his memoirs. On another note, most of the slaves that were freed by union forces that ended up enlisting in the union armies were delegated to manual labor roles... not fighting confederates like hollywood portrays. They were even detested by a majority of northern troops and encountered prejudice similar to what they received in the south, as far as how they were viewed. The south did fight for states rights, the right for states to decide to become slave or free states. Remember the southern economy was almost purely agrarian and slavery was a crucial part of it. They feared if free states greatly outnumbered slave states they would lose power in the federal legislature and given time slavery would be abolished and their economy gone with it. Poor whites that filled the confederate ranks cared nothing about slaves for they couldn't afford them, they wanted to defend their homes from invading forces. The civil war is not as simple as North=good South=bad.
Great song, great sound.
