Your music has accompanied me through deep and expansive loss - my wife died. Shortly after her passing I found your music and felt that Mary was gifting you to me and thank you for that. Here I am 6 years later and still follow you and find your melodies and lyrics really speak to my spirit. Living now in Montana and there is something special about the way your music almost makes this landscape and the wildness that is western Montana, come alive in a new way. Thank you, maybe someday you'll make your way to Montana to sing and inspire and minister.
Sadness is as much a part of our life experience as joy, happiness, etc. Revel in your sadness, we all have to live it. Sorry for your loss and glad this music touches you. I really first heard Golden Embers just after my sister in law died. Definitely speaks to the emotion of the moment. Beautiful music.
I'm late to this post, just saw it.. Your post made me be grateful for what I do still have.. Lost my wife also, South Dakotas air seems to like this band also.. Its very fitting and uplifting and just great in so many ways.. Life is hard. Small things like this make it almost seem bareable.. Great post, thank you..!..
So sorry for your loss John. Glad you have this music. Glad we all do
Hey brother man. I relate to this more than you know. Lost my best friend and this stuff is single-handedly keeping me kicking.
@@GraveMindII7 good luck brother. Sorry for your loss. The music is always with us.
These two make some of the sweetest music I have ever heard. Pure magic.
Tiny Desk brought me here and I'll go wherever Mandolin Orange music takes me next. Soo.. loving their music
Same here. Sound capture and balance were way better back at Tiny desk though.
Tiny Desk is just special stuff. And how I also found this delight.
Word.
Daniel Tobing me too
Oh my....Beautiful wonderful lovely 💛
Wildfire is not just one of my favorites of their songs. It is one of my favorites of any song I have ever heard. It is an absolute masterpiece.
couldn't agree with you more!
it is indeed a perfect blend of harmony, tragedy, and world statement. I wish more of our fellows could hear it, and really hear it. We have more in common than we appreciate, and hate is just a tool for those who wish to make hay off our pain. peace to all.
I find myself at 3AM watching this and realizing that there is a lot of good music still being made.

Thank you for posting the set list for this session. Really liked the sound of Mother Deer and was looking for the name when I saw your list. Thank you @manicx
There's just something about Mandolin Orange that makes me feel like I'm home.
I live inside a mandolin so, i get it
They're a couple of their own and they have a family. And they look at each other after all these years with such adoration as they play the music they composed together.
These are my couple goals.
On one of their Tiny Desk concerts, someone said Mandolin Orange sounds like "warm buttered bread in a wicker basket." Sums it up perfectly.
@@japlunkett6789 The musical equivalent of comfort food 👌🏼
Same. The first time I heard the first bar I was hooked.
A cold early autumn day in England; the heart of Hampshire and I've stopped my work for a rest. The house is quiet, but by a magical coincidence I come across these guys and once locked into their soft harmonies, I'm taken across the Atlantic to North Carolina and nothing tells me more about the place, the people, the atmosphere in that room than Mandolin Orange. For half an hour, I am totally transported.
Her harmonizing gives me goosebumps.
My favorite part
These guys are exceptional. I know Emily gets a lot of love but Andrew has the juice on that mandolin, plus the songwriting chops, much respect dude
And the voice!
One of the most compelling I've ever heard.
It draws you in and makes you listen to what he's saying
That dude on the mandolin cuttin riffs like he been doing this since his granpa showed him when he was 3, :) She is so angelicly talented and together the make an AMAZING sound!!!
Couldn’t say it any better!! Many thanks!
It's interesting to note how just two very talented muscians can create such a large satisfying sound.
The way she looks at him when he sings is just beautiful.
I noticed that too. It’s so loving and adoring.
I love this concert so much and I wish I could've been there; I'm so thankful I can listen to it again and again:
Wildfire is such a beautiful song.. the fact that it's being sung in the governor's mansion in NC makes it even more special.
Mandolin Orange is so down to earth and unassuming in the most complimentary way; then they start playing and you find your ears imbued with beautiful melody and grace.
A few well chosen words pays wonderful tribute to these two outstanding musicians and people. Your words, too, are poetry and worthy of Andrew and Emily. Thanks.
Mandolin Orange does N.C. proud. Thank Andrew and Emily for making such beautiful, powerful music.
that last song , wildfire, performed in that house was superb.
Every now and then I watch a video recording of a show and think, "Oh man, I wish I was there." This is one such recording.
I have never been so inclined to cheer and cry at the same time.
Anyone else fall in love with this woman in under 5 minutes
Yup.
You are one of the best bands i've heard in my 63 years. I consider myself a music lover. John Prine is still my favorite songwriter but you're young and time is on your side.
R.I.P. John Prine. He was a genius songwriter and musician. I know he is writing great tunes in the great beyond.
They are brilliant, my wife Kersti introduced me to them when we went down south to Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee looking for a place to retire. As we drove over Blue Ridge Mountain listening to this two made our trip magic
Agree Steve! And I'm 62....lol
My son and his girlfriend dragged me in my 70th year from the UK to Telluride for the bluegrass festival in 2016, and Mandolin Orange played in Mountain Village the night before the official opening and again at the Festival. Met them at the tent afterwards and they were delightful. They are wonderful and their latest album Tides of a Teardrop is out of this world. More please!
Happy to be the 100th like of your comment :-)
the absolute and magnetic chemistry. Truly one of the most beautiful sounds to cross me. Absolutely demanding of silence and awe. Just look at how she looks into his soul.
Thank you Tiny Desk for bringing Mandolin Orange into my life... Musician for 40 years, I have never been so moved in all my years.
Wildfire, possibly one of the greatest songs ever written
Pure truth
When lyrics of history and morality find perfect harmony with a simple melody you've struck gold.
Every time I run across one of their performances, my primary question to myself is, do I want to cry today? Seems like every time I watch them, I start getting in touch with my inner weepy woman. And, making it weirder, every time I see Emily I start getting in touch with my inner hero and want to grab a sword, jump on my horse, ride out, and make the world safe for her. Sir Weepy Man, First Sword of the Internet.
Righton! I knew there was some way to express what I was feeling (if someone asks how I'm feeling, I want it to a multiple-choice response) .... got Golden Embers on replay!! Thanks Dean.
Crying is a gift from god to heal our souls. Forgiveness only comes through our honest tears. God bless you
I know I picked up one of my dulcimers and played along trying not to tear up!! From Edenton NC
I've probably watched this set a 100 times.
I used to oun that fiddle. Made by Evan Smith in Idaho Falls Idaho. He is a great maker I still own 4 of his fiddles. Boy she plays it well.
This is amazing. Just one microphone and everything unplugged. True talent.

THANKS
Greetings from Dublin Ireland brother and sisters
The name of the fiddle tune is "New Five Cent Piece."
@@ressalg Great! Thank you!
I' very seen and watched a lot of their shows on you tube.Not once have I've been disappointed with or with out their band. Thanx for being Mandolin Orange. Much respect.
If you get a chance, they're great live. I finally caught a show this summer and was not disappointed at all.
All I can say is " I absolutely love MANDILIN ORANGE!" I came upon them on youtube and couldn't get enough! They make a beautiful duo! And a beautiful couple. Congratulations on your baby!
Stumbled onto this video and wow awesome !!!
Saw them a couple a months ago in The Netherlands, Amsterdam. Still getting goosebums! This is music at his purest form.
I got to see them in Nijmegen and still feel blessed. And the ticket price was more than reasonable.
Mandolin Orange just goes to show you there are so many melodies to be discovered with a few major and minor chords...sweet!
I've listened to these 2 for a total of three days and its going to be my favourite act forever I think
When Emily harmonizes "it could have been easy" it's like caramel.
OMG so good. Neck tingles for sure.
Yes! I love all of it, and that is my favourite bit.
God love you for singing Wildfire in the NC Executive Mansion!! Your generation will finally be the difference!
Umm, there was a prior generation who raised them. ;)
Also, my grandfather who would have been 90 this year had he of not passed at 70 raised all his children and went on to raise me his grandaughter with these views, as most did in that holler "hallow" in Fontana Dam NC
My point "each generation" has made a difference.
Each generation is simultaneously wonderful and terrible.
Lived in and worked for NC 35 years - live in Florida now. Discovered these two on RUclips a few years back. Nice to see something beautiful and fresh going on in the Governor's Mansion!
pssst....hey buddy, you're doing it backwards. Your supposed to work for 35 years in Fla and retire to NC....Franklin if possible. These kids are great. For months after I found them it was MO...24/7.
@@zuluromeo1232 nah we have too many doing that already.
@srfgrn "You" should come back though! Lol
This is pure gold. I keep coming back for replays. Love these two!
When you find someone who loves you so dearly never let it go. Dont ever take it for granted.
For this I would travel to America.
barryolaith ...
Me too, but they do come to Europe now and then , if that helps, Barry!
Minstrels of truth and purity in a world full of darkness and lies.
Come on it’s not that dark....the lies on the other hand are rampant...
From one Mark H. to another, that is very true. And no, the world isn't that dark because of stuff like this. Good taste in music my friend. It says a lot about a person
@TheChinization i assure you I am no snowflake. Like you I am too very disenfranchised in what was my country and state. What lies ahead for us is uncertainty, but with God and our family's love we will see it true. The word of the day is Hubertus.
I was raised on hard rock and Blues and this music has given me goosebumps. I'm a fan now.
The chemistry is off the charts!
I would hope so, they have a kid together ;-)
@@jonathanwinskie9788 any idea if she's pregnant again? I hate to ask, but I can't tell if it's just the romper or not.....I mean no disrespect to her either way, of course. I LOVE these two so much.
@@meganvalek2690 No idea, but I know Andrew is coming to Seattle alone in December, which is kind of odd (I think).
They need to get together with Steve Martin and the Steep Canyon Rangers, that would be one heck of a concert .....hopefully someone from Mandolin Orange will read this..... that would be one heck of a good concert!!!
@@fairterr would love to see them with Jason & Amanda
I want something like this. The music makes them feel connected even more
I love listening to Mandolin Orange - they just sucked me right in and I am thankful with each song just how beautiful they are !
So soothing. A delight to the ears
I live in the upper east region of Tennessee, with Mandolin Orange being from Chapel Hill NC, I consider them local. It puts a smile on my face when I read the comments from others around the country and world. Music is a huge part of our culture in the Appalachian Highlands, these 2 are special.
My new favorite duo! I have been on a folk/bluegrass kick lately. Been listening to Watchouse/Mandolin Orange, Nickel Creek, and The Steeldrivers nonstop!
@@deltek5968all great bands.. check out the dead south, devil makes three, colter wall, and Tyler Childers as well.
Another wonderful duo is "Mamas Stolen Horses" Just beautiful.
Since yesterday I am a fan of this couple. So beautiful human being and great musicianship.
When I need something to help me relax completely, I always come here to hear their wonderful music! It takes away the worries of the day.
couldn't agree more..and get to see them this Sunday! Babeville in buffalo..great venue for a great band
As proof that music sooths the soul and heals the heart. Simply look at how Emily looks more beautiful with each concert and Andrew looks happier and more at bliss. God blessed these two,!
Wow, this gigs version of Hey Adam is magical. 14:10
Andrew's quiet, relaxed demeanor reveals a quiet confidence that all this music is completely under his fingers. Emily is a crushing combination of ear candy/eye candy; her pretty smile compliments her sweet singing and playing. I'm from the Midwest, but I've traveled a lot and North Carolina and the Piedmont region is perhaps the most musical part of our beautiful country. How fitting for them to honor the long list of unforgettable musicians, and indirectly, the very musical regular people who have lived in NC. We will hear much more great music from this talented duo.
Absolutely.
I thought they were fantastic until 18 minutes in...and then my head exploded from the greatness.
It took me 31 years to get round to buying a decent pair of hi-fi speakers. Now I'm pleased that I did. A wonderful duo.
the song at 15:00. omg. what a stunning display of being connected. It's not just reading the syncopation. It's breathing it. There may be many equals out there, but none any better.
There's a lot of similar duos like these around but Mandolin Orange have an extra something that you can't always explain, which makes them great. I could listen to them all day.
Love these two, please don’t ever stop making music.
"It should have been different, it could have been easy." Best summary of the tragedy of history I have ever heard. Don't think it will ever be bettered. Really intelligent song. Touches the heart. Puts words to how I feel about the history I have seen with my own eyes.
Colin kelley, I'm right there with you. That song feels spot on in this day and age. This should be easier. But the true demise is hatred passed down through the years... and pride has a way of holdin' too firm. Boy doesn't it.
I'd heard "Wildfire" a few times, including at a live show in L.A. this year and it moved me deeply, and that was before I read the words and really got it. Once of the best songs about racism ever. These folks are extraordinary.
Michael the song isn’t just about racism. Only a small portion of the south owned slaves. Look at Lincoln. He wanted to just deport all blacks. The north was just as racist towards blacks.
The real issue was the south was paying 75% of federal taxes. The civil war was really about state’s rights vs a massive federal government. Now we have the largest federal government in history with the most amount of debt ever in worlds history more than any country or empire to exist. We have like 200 trillion in unfunded liabilities like Medicare and social security. And by 2035 some old people aren’t going to be getting checks because the government causing inflation is destroying social securities assets which is only debt. Wildfire is a good song, but the civil war wasn’t about slavery at first. Lincoln only freed the slaves to ensure he won the war. Be interesting to see if the US has massive inflation or we default.
@@koltoncrane3099 I think you are right about what the Civil War was really about when it started, but Ulysis S Grant retired for awhile and was called back into the military during the Civil War. In the inbetween he inherited or was given a farm by family somewhere in the midwest and with the farm came a bunch of slaves. He immediately set them free, helped them with their paperwork and helped them get established, no strings attached. He paid some of their expenses out of pocket for awhile. His family disowned him and took the farm back. During the war, when his forces captured an area, with slaves, he invited them to lunch, he made sure their paperwork was correct, made sure they became freed Americans, and then gave them jobs in the military helping with logistics and with adjusting to being free. He told them, if anyone gave them any trouble, to let him know personally, and he meant it. He did it because it was the right thing to do, but the the black community was and is tight and the black vote pretty much everywhere pushed him over the top to win the Presidential election. Everyone, including he himself was surprised. At that time the black community was pretty much 100% Republican. The Southern Democrats invented the Jim Crow chain gangs. Hillary's mentor, Senator Byrd was a KKK grand poopah until the day he died. Hillary herself is a racist.
What incredible music is coming out of North Carolina at the moment! Love these two! Wish I could see them live one day. Please come to South Africa.
I love this comment because it’s just some person from a south something human place loving something wonderful from a north something human place.
Just wonderful. Natural. Uncomplicated. Relaxing but still exciting. Draws me in and puts a smile on my face :)
They're sooooo damn good. Everytime I see a new live recording there are these progressive nuances that tap into your heart strings just a little different each time.
Ugggggh the nuances!!!
There is just something so magically beautiful about their music. I can't turn away. I look forward to seeing them live for the first time sometime in the future.
I dont understand how you can listen to this music and not be STOMPING YOUR FEET IN RHYTHM
There are 70 people, (as of 4-14-20), that I would REALLY like to have a word with.
How does this simple set, of pure and beautiful music, deserve a SINGLE thumb down.
I want to love all, but GD, some people make it difficult.
I SO LOVE THESE TWO!! INCREDIBLE MUSIC!! THE WRITING IS AMAZING!!! AND THE HARMONY'S!!
Golden embers just tear my heart in pieces
Live in Scotland now, but this really makes me miss home. We moved a lot when I was a kid: West Virginia, Florida, Nevada, etc.. This just feels like the best side of home. Watching the pain in the US right now is a killer, and ``Wildfire'' just about ended me. I wish my brother could hear it and understand, but, that's just not happening. Thank you for this beautiful thing.
Is it the love of the two in their gaze...or the strings that pull us all towards....or the harmony closest to heaven as we have heard..or just the happiness that they share.
This is - Beyond good. Beyond heavenly. Beyond love.
And if Wildfire doesn't change minds, I guess nothing will....
I can't believe how well in-focus that microphone was in the closeup. Nailed it. In all seriousness, what a fabulous performance. Great work as always!
Any idea what mic it is?
Away from home and feeling down. This is exactly what I need to keep going.
I would love to be back home in Raleigh, and get to go to a concert on the executive mansions' grounds, WOW!!!, I don't think they did that when I grew up in Raleigh, 50+ yrs ago...
They are the best I’ve ever heard, and I’ve see and heard so many over many years and I’m so looking forward to seeing them play live in October 2022.
The audio quality is exquisite. And I listened to it on my iPad.
Insanely beautiful.
Unbelievable talent. Saw them last December in Cumberland Caverns. So great!
I was there too. Great venue!
These two are magical. I absolutely love their music. They seem like good, down-to-earth folks which makes them even more appealing.
Wow this song hit me like a ton of bricks.....emotion flowing out of my eyes whoa
Just can't stop listening to them.
Andrew's playing has really gotten lyrical and sharp
These 2 + band are the most Beautiful in a world like this. God thanks you... and the band so beautiful !
I found these two on you tube a couple of years ago and truly can't get enough of them . Since then I have seen them twice in Brooklyn NY then flew to Nashville and saw them twice at the great Ryman auditorium and next month flying down to see them again in st Pete fla with my sister who I tuned on to them. I'm a deadhead we can't see bands just once.
That fiddle in Hey Adam has the keys to my heart ❤️
Had the pleasure of seeing these folks live about a month after this, a ways further north. Very well received by us, northeners. (We're all in this together, no?) Had a random chance to say hi and welcome to Emily. One charming lady, IMO an All-American girl. Wouldn't dare to guess the surprises they have in store for us.
Perhaps 100 people in the audience, if that many, blessed to have a front row seat to the best modern folk group In the world. When I listen, I feel the proverbial last best hope quivering in my soul.
Not a foot a tapping, nary a head a moving. Hard to believe! Thundering music!
Ok, that does it, i am moving to North Carolina. Way to go Governor & First Lady Cooper.
So many people here already.
I visited Chapel Hill-Durham for the first time a couple of years ago. It's much more hip than I expected. Heard a number of people bitching about things going on under the surface down there, but nobody would tell me specifically what they might be.
Another great set from these two. Perfect on their own!! Congratulations to the sound team perfect sound from a one mic set up!!
@NPR Tiny Desk Concerts brought me here too. Love @MandolinOrange. Come to England folks, we need you. :-)
I seen them live … w my daughter and I cried . It was an emotional experience show …. They are amazing live .❤
So, so good to listen, thanks for that ! :)
This just showed up in my recommended feed. Absolutely blown away by them! So small, yet so powerful, amazing!
This is wonderful musical art that I do not grow tired of time after time. I am grateful to the North Carolina government and Governor Cooper for hosting these delightful musicians.
Love these guys!!!!
From an Irishman, fantastic, the mandolin playing is very cool, it all sounds so good together : )
Seans know good music
Like an old friends ..
From the first rift of Golden embers...
You can help me share the trouble... beautiful...
Boots of Spanish leather
Introduced me to these soulful pair of singer-songwriters beautiful spirit's
They are in a league of their Own
Greetings from Dublin Ireland brother and sisters We love Andrew and Emily are a credit to the great state of North Carolina...there was a TIME.....
We keep listening to this. Just love it.
These two are amazing
I keep wanting to hit "like" after every song.
Wow... just wow. Never have even heard of these two until coming across this. Wildfire caught my ear from across the house. Beautiful
Thank y’all for this
Golden Embers- besides the poetry, that melody, so beautiful
