I dont care what they call themselves... these two people make some of _the_ most amazing music ever. Such a beautiful song.
This is the innovation of folk music at its finest. Thank you 😊
My life would be incomplete had you two never met. Thank you.
bro honestly
♥️🌺
This is one of the most beautiful musical connections that I’ve ever seen. I’m gobsmacked.
These two are ushering in a new era of singer-songwriter music. I’ve said there’s nothing new under the sun, but this is truly otherworldly.
Not necessarily. They harmonize. They harmonize well. Does everyone get it? I "love" these two. And I watch too much Utube. Wish them all the best. Kid and all. Those guys have given me a lot of joy.
OMG... recorded in 2021, This makes them the most beautiful..... and their music is from the heart .
Like a fine wine aged to prefect perfection
Makes me ponder how amazing something can be when two people somehow find each other by some supernatural chance, and it’s like two souls becoming one. Y’all are so in tune with each other and what the other is thinking and the perfect timing both vocally and instrumentally is just so rare and spiritual to watch. Yep, y’all are dang good. 👍
Nicely said... ...💘
level 10. and let's hear it for the engineers responsible for this recording, that is world class in itself. absolute home runs in every category.
This is my favorite version of this song. Hauntingly beautiful! Substance is style!
Absolutely amazing what just these two can produce. Mesmerizing performance
Proud of y'all.. evolution. Nervy. Taking the chances. Instruments sound really rich too. Great tune. My wife has been singing it for weeks now.
Perfect harmony!
Only two of the best musicians can be so in synch playing a song with such subtle and sublime progressions and dynamics. Wow!
A very nice performance, Andrew and Emily.
Absolute 🪄✨🪄✨
As a long time listener of Mandolin Orange, I can honestly say that I prefer the name Watchhouse. I don't understand this recurring complaint about the "Mandolin Orange" brand. It make no sense, especially when you post it as a comment on a WATCHHOUSE video. You found your way to their new name, so who are these hypothetical listeners that you imagine suddenly believing Mandolin Orange disappeared into the nether. As far as I'm concerned, that which we call a rose by any other name would smell (or sound as the case may be) as sweet. Free yourself from clinging to permanence. Things change. One day they won't be making music under any name, lets just enjoy it for what it is right now.
especially if one considers that the previous name was probably established from two barely adult musicians, now they are so much further on their path, so it does make sense to change it. and eventually it's music that matters. their sound wonderful regardless the name. btw who keeps their nickname they used in highschool in their 40s ? ;)
Your comment is beautiful, stating an important point and also, without any nastiness, encouraging others to evolve as well.
Love it! 💫
The reply that is the best I could have ever read. Amen
Well said 💯!😊
Who wasn’t doing that..?
absolutely stunning. Love the performance, love the song, love you guys. Thank you
Y'all are greater than ever. Thank you so much for sharing your gifts with the world. Pretty sure this one is going to be on repeat/loop for the better part of the day today. Peace.
This song is beautiful. I really enjoyed the artistic video you made with the song not too long ago. This version is just a different level of excellent. 👍💖🎸😎
seen this band in madison wi last night the qwality & perfection of there music just incredible
Free your mind! Beautiful!
That sounds really good yall.
A wonderful version! I like the song reduced to two voices, guitar and mandolin even better than the original. Great sound and a huge beautiful reverb in which you can lose yourself.
Wow! Just frkn wow ❤️🙏
I can't wait for the new album!!!!
Beautifully done, as always.
I can put up with the name change when the music is this good
I saw you 6/5/21 and it was incredible. Thank you for making this music for everyone to enjoy.
This version is far better than the official version with the psychedelic video and drawn out instrumental coda. vocals are more muddy on that version too
I agree. I prefer their live version of almost all the material they’ve released,
Yes, yes and yes!!
So incredible! Thank you!
beautiful energy
Beautiful, thank you
Did Mandolin Orange become Watch House?
This is incredible
The music reminds me of Blind Faith , I played their music lots and lots when young , I hear them in this ) ññ,ote for note, maybe that's why Ill can b66
love this song so much, I loved them to ! My favorite song you to do just really so so good to me is( WILD FIRE ) second choice is , Boots of
You found harmonic nirvana ... your union is not unlike that of the very best duos ✌🏽❤️🎶
Lovely work ya'll!!
Loving this!!
♥️♥️♥️♥️🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺
“...Buried in your phone for hours, what a waste of your day...”. Great lyrics.
Totally...especially as I watch this on my phone.
I am absolutely stunned. I swear! You two have all the talent necessary to reignite the very life of this nation and resume our trajectory on the way to a better, kind and just nation. Keep the faith! Just:WOW!
First chills then tears. Needed to hear this. So deep in my device, so much going on these days, needed to hear this.
Will you please play in San Diego, CA?
So so good...love you guys...when are you touring the UK..? :-D
Wow. Your live pacing is so accomplished and complete.
Just tell me when to pre order the vinyl guys!
Currently living this song. I didn't know it until I heard it.
Ok, just found this added to my watch list. Wait, I’ve seen lots of Mandolin Orange but Watchhouse feels different. I like it. You guys have done a ton of great work together and this is some really, really nice stuff. 👍
OMG!!!!
TY, Both.
What a great song. I love the mandolin work, but most of all the lyrics and vocals.
Somehow this is even better than the recording. Thank you both so much for your music!
All of their live recordings are better than the studio versions.
Nice one, friends. Saw you two in Winston Salem back in 2012. Keep the jams coming
Man,they are so perfect together
Please do a UK tour.
You guys remember when Mandolin Cougar Orange became just Mandolin Orange?
Why does this remind me of Steven Wilson's music?? Truly amazing. This is a rock song...at folk music cadence.
Harmonized like champs. Sounds great.
Good luck on your musical journey. Y'all lost me though. Maybe one day again...
Do I make the journey to Charlotte, NC from Florida to see you all?? All signs point to yes
The recording is so good. For those of us that love acoustic music, it doesn't get much better. Two instruments and two voices and so complete.
Great tune 🎶 🎶 very interesting scale and musical space. Wonderfully done, congratulations and keep being creative. Wish you a Merry Christmas with all the joy, blessings and happiness.
Love the sophisticated sound and message of this new song! Love the old stuff too!
GOODEBUMPS!!!... ...🎶
Thank you so much... ...🎼💙
🌹💯❤️🌠
Am I the only one who thinks Andrew's voice is reminiscent of a combination of Bob Dylan and Gordon Lightfoot
What happened to "Mandolin Orange"????? I stay confused....
They renamed their band. They probably thought of that clever name when they were young and probably felt it didn't fit their music anymore. It happens.
Y33t!
Mind blown. So many beautiful parts to this song and performance.
Amazing work, y'all. Fantastic music as always, love this rendition of this song. Can't wait for this album to be the theme of my summer!
Love this song❤
I feel Andrew Marlin must've been a ventriloquist in a previous life.
Discover you had a voice but nobody listened?
Searching for hours for bones on your phone?
THAT is some song writing there.
"Well, you found you had a voice, and the world stopped to listen
But you had nothing good to say
Now you're alone, digging for bones, buried in your phone for hours
What a waste of a day"
People are listening, but you had nothing good to say, in this lyric.
the pandemic has been good to you two! thank you for sharing!
Hey Mandolin of the Orange......come back with your name. Your music is alway FINE!
Excellent... as always. Super excited for the new album.
I thought this was mandolin orange 🍊 guy? New band? I could recognize that voice anywhere.
They changed the name of the band
OMG first Mother Mother, then Crane of Wives and now WATCHHOUSE? What a blessing😩🙏
This song gives me Jose Gonzalez vibes
Beautiful, as always! Can't wait for October at Red Rocks!
Beautiful job.
More please.
Great vocal blend.
Gifted, beautifully done, that guitar sounds great! Wow.
This kind of looks like Rubber Room studio. Am I right?
Why did they change their name?
click on their NAME and then select "ABOUT".
Because change is a good thing :)
@@TheSighphiguy and if you do those steps, it doesn’t say. At least not on the mobile version. 🤷🏻♀️
If you go to their Community tab after clicking their name, they give an update. ❤️

Biography
During the last year, most of us have been told that the most helpful thing we can do is stay home and out of the way. For some, that rare respite has offered the chance to reflect on what is important and to reimagine what is possible. That has been the case for Andrew Marlin and Emily Frantz, the couple known for more than a decade now as Mandolin Orange. In 2020, they raised their toddler. They recorded their most audacious album yet. And they decided it was finally time to change their name-to Watchhouse, an identity that reflects their true intentions.
"Mandolin Orange was born out of my 21-year-old mind. The name isn’t what I strive for when I write, because it doesn’t match what I picture when I invite people into my songs, new or old,” admits Marlin. “We have long been burdened by the dichotomy between our band name and the music we strive to create. Now that we can see a future where music is a shared experience again, we're defining the space we share"
During Marlin’s teenage years, friends would take him on biannual trips to a tiny Chesapeake Bay cabin, suspended by stilts above a tidal island and accessible only by boat. He would sit there, sans electricity, reveling in an admixture of silence and communion-thinking, looking, being. That was The Watch House, and that is the space Marlin & Frantz now aim to shape in Watchhouse. The last year afforded Marlin and Frantz a chance to reset and restart. Watchhouse is their vital first step.
Please come to Tucson
Mays - Metheny-esque
Wow! Thank you!
What a rich sound - love you, Watchhouse
For those 10 people I see, right now, who don't like this.. . You are not invited to my 4th of July BBQ. And I hope you have to #2 in an aggressively overused bathroom.
Yes
As music has been a constant need in my life for sixty years, I am always searching for new tunes. And Better Way is so good ,as good as any other decade.
I don't care what they call them self.
As long as they keep playing.
You guys are just amazing - what a song and what a performance. When are you coming over to London?!
What a song :)
🌺♥️💜🐬
Ha! So much better than the previous version. Thank you so much for the beautiful music. Love it! Long live Watchhouse!
Group's name change but complicity and osmosis is still there big times !
So beautiful, and the lyrics mean something. Two of my favorite musicians.
