    Please, never take this video down. So many emotions are revolving in and around this song that I keep coming back to it. This particular duet is the best version of this song anywhere, ever.

    I wish, I wish my baby was born
    And sittin' on its papa's knee
    And me, poor girl, and me, poor girl,
    were dead and gone
    And the green grass growin' o'er my feet
    I ain't ahead, nor never will be
    'Till the sweet apple grows
    On a the sour apple tree
    But still I hope, but still I hope
    the time will come
    When you and I shall be as one
    The owl, the owl is a lonely bird
    It chills my heart with dread and terror
    That someone's blood, that someone’s blood
    There on his wings
    That someone's blood
    There on his feathers
    I wish, I wish my love had died
    Send her soul to wander free
    And we might meet where ravens fly
    Let our poor bodies rest in peace

    That is a a beautiful song. I'm a big fan of "old timey" mountain music. Part of its beauty is its simplicity - the harmony in this song is its icing. I wish Tim would come play in Knoxville TN some day. We have the Tennessee theater which would be an excellent venue.

    I meant just that we recorded it for the film. The first two verse are, indeed, old, while the last two were made up by our dear departed friend Anthony Minghella. Riley and I both thought they were kind of lame at first, but came around to appreciating Anthony's poetic take on things. (I think I can speak for Riley on that, but you should ask him as he surely has his own take on it.)

    my life has been, as I'm sure it has for many, one long musical journey. as I go along I always discover something new, after all the years. it started with what was on the radio, and I swore off music completely. but when I was about 4 or 5, I was turned onto 90s grunge by my brother, and classic rock by my parents and their friends, and I realized what music was about. the next 20 years were discoveries mostly within those genres or stemming from them, but a few years ago I was introduced to folk music, which led to anarcho folk punk, back to folk, and finally to whatever you call this strange form of perfection. life has been different for me, not altogether good or bad. not easy. In all the music I listened to, I related to some extent but always felt there was this thin veil, this small bit of a lack of understanding between myself and the words I was hearing. there was one emotion that was missing that I still don't have a word for. but I found it when I stumbled upon these tunes. Appalachian music? mountain music? the name doesn't matter for me. as far as I am concerned my musical journey was meant to lead me here. and I'm grateful for it.
