"Going Home" from Gods and Generals by Mary Fahl (formerly of October Project) 

My last sister and sibling left the earth 3 days ago and was freed from the pain and indignity of a decade long illness. Thank you Susan for being my family and friend through it all, thank you God for setting her free and taking her home, and thank you Mary Fahl for allowing me , finally, to weep.

The flags blowing in the wind in the movie version is haunting

One of the greatest songs written for a movie, and beautifully performed.

I was a civil war reenactor and to just March the ground they did it makes you think every man gave their lives to what they believed in no matter what side I wanna thank you so much for your service and sacrifice and god bless you all

As a southerner who’s family fought snd were ravaged by this war this song seems to me is written for us ! For the south it was always for love home , our land our the stars that point us forever south ! I can not listen least I weep and grieve ! 💔💔💔💔😰

Great song...... Gettysburg and Gods & Generals are two great movies. Everyone should be made to watch these movies and see this tragic part of America's history. The sacrifice, the devotion on both sides, men who would fight for their beliefs, those that died and were wounded. Soldiers both white and black. The loss of life of not only military but many citizens caught in the middle. Sad to see our country headed down a similar path these days. God Bless all men who have served our nation. My father Vietnam Veteran 1970-1971. Thanks to all of you who have served in our military for protecting my freedoms.

Like alot of people, I want this song to be played at my funeral. 🇺🇸

I just wanted to tell you that the first time I heard your song was on a field trip to see this movie in theaters. As I watched the waving flags and heard this very Celtic-sounding song, I just started weeping like a fool. My friend, who was sitting beside me, gave me a weird look and I just shrugged. The movie hadn't even started, and I was already moved to tears! Thank you, Mary Fahl!

I picked this song to play at my mom's funeral. She had never heard it before and when I played it she teared up. So then it was to be for my amazing mother. I'll never stop missing her.

Words cannot describe how beautiful this is Mary has a gift the kind of voice from an angel you hear very rare in the music business.😢⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A very beautiful woman with such amazing voice I can just put headphones on and listen to her sing all day

This movie is long but great. It's strange but we're not that far removed from this generation. My Grandad (1913-2008) knew a few civil war veterans and a few former slaves as well during his childhood in rural Alabama.

Fantastic film. Fantastic song. Fantastic woman. Fantastic voice!

I can't even begin to describe how majestic and powerful this song is....

I never tire of hearing Mary sing this and it always make me cry a little bit.

Going Home is as heartbreaking as it is beautiful. Very haunting. This song moves me to silent tears.

I saw you with October Project in Minneapolis at the State Theatre when you opened for Sarah McLachlan around 1991. I didn't even know who she was at the time, I was only going to see October Project after listening to you first album. It's still one of my all time favorites.

This is the most beautiful song by the most beautiful woman....She sang it nearly a quarter century ago, but I would still love to see her sing now....

God's and general's shows the heroic spirit of the south this song makes it even better

A song as beautiful as the woman who sings it.

Extraordinary song!

What a fitting song for Gods and Generals. Jackson really who the movie is mostly about. Beautiful song.

2:25 I've used that line before. Let's just say, after years of heartache and searching, I found my home.

The first time I heard this amazing song and Mary's fabulous vocals I rewound a dozen times to hear again and again. I wept at the soulful sounds. The love of home and its sacred meanings. I hope to have it played at my funeral. Many thanks.

Magnificent song from movie. Great tribute to all soldiers who fought on both side during American Civil War

Thank you. This is one of the songs we played for my dying infant grandson. It brought a lot of peace

I love this song and video. I served in the Army, and this always touches my heart deeply,

when I was in the service me and a friend did reenactments and we loved this movie he was killed at fort hood and this was the song we played at his funeral.

Can I cry now? This is toooooo good!! 😭😭😇

Lady Liberty singing her heart out.

Want this played at my funeral some day

Hallelujah

Love it...... from India

I instructed my son I wanted this song at my funeral.

I loved her ever since her work with October Project.

absolutely enchanting....thank you for posting this, it made my day.

Good movie but much better opening song. So beautiful I get goosebumps every time I hear it.

I am from VA, this song always makes me home sick, I travel back home as often as I can.

Amen, Raging Bull 154. God Bless to each individual who sacrificed themselves for what ever belief they held. That, is what made this great nation.

For all my historical reenacting friends all from 1980s to 2009

This song & video moves me beyond words, the song I need when I finally go home.

THE VOICE OF AN ANGEL ! WOW

I'm shocked that Going Home didn't get an Oscar nomination for Best Original Song. I know that critics hated Gods and Generals but there's lots of other movies that were critically panned but still got nominated for awards in music, special effects, etc.

Beautiful voice

This song and performance is so beautiful and reaches into the heart, and back into the history of this great country....and speaks of longing and resolution, and best of all, reminds me of my son Liam, and my great, great grandfather who fought in the Civil War.

OMG! I've been searching for this video. i had seen this some time ago then suddenly it seemed to have been dropped from RU-vid. Thank you! :)

Wow!!! Watched on my own. but inhereted the DVD from my Dad!!

I was so glad to see the 3rd Arkansas Infantry flag acknowledged at the beginning of Gods and Generals while this song was playing. They were the only Arkansas regiment to fight the entire war with the Army of Northern Virginia until the surrender at Appomattox. Part of the famous Texas Brigade, General Lee’s shock troops. Only 144 of the original 1,353 soldiers of the regiment made it to Appomattox.

I have broken body parts because of this movie. The version that I can no longer replace. Surely, it is hard to believe.

sensacional...

An amazing performance of a beautiful and evocative song.

Beautiful!

This Lady is indeed Majestic, an the slight turn in her eye i think adds an does not subtract from that .....anybody else agree?

I have broken body parts and scars because of this song and movie. Question me? It's yours.

best song ever

Wonderful song.

The song is so beautiful

Beautiful woman with a soulful probing voice that pierces your heart. Such a longing in her rendering of this song. It fits what the mood would have been like for those living in that time. Randy Edelman was a fabulous composer in the two films. I can't imagine two more appropriate pieces for this historic powerhouse.

Mary i wish you´d come to Europe to sing at least we have your wonderful videos and records this song should have won an oscar

AWSOME Talent and song from an AWSOME movie......

The most beautiful lady with the most beautiful voice.

My grandpa was the world war 2 veteran he died in 2001 before I was born and my brother served the u.s. army during the Iraq war

Your voice is magical ❤️

Great song, it always gives me the chills

Oooooooohhhh....So THIS is the OG music video....Respect to 2003 movie making

A most perfect song for an incredible movie, no more needs to be said.

lovely.... the volume is really low though. i have it maxed out and your soaring voice is so soft, almost hard to hear.

The road back to the Lord and the suffering and struggle will be over.

I want this played at my funeral.

listening to this song with the battle flags being shown was stirring. the reason people had problems with the movie is that they decided to make the dialogue mostly from actually letters and memoirs from historical figures it came off as Shakespearean prose.. which wore on most people who watched. but I liked it.

Such a lovely journey this song is ... and thank you for the soaring moments it causes in one's heart of hearts. SIDE NOTE: If there's anyway to re-upload this in at least 720p (to the muddy 480p it is now) that would indeed be great. If there's a need for a 720p file, let me know -- I have the film, GODS & GENERALS on DVD that has your video. BRAVO-! D.A.

I driving one night pulled up long said this pickup who is that they sayed October I went the next day and brought and the CDs they had and give them out told people this singer is one of the best I have ever heard

Freiheit und Glaube!!!

I do want this played at my funeral.

Oh, and I am a veteran too. USN PO1

As a die-hard Southerner, you video brings me to to tears. I bought your album on I-Tunes. Put me on your e-mail.

I can't wait to leave this god-forsaken desert and Go HOME

An amazing song of a woman with a angel voice ❤️❤️❤️

Hermosa Hembra Mary Fhal

Salute to my ancestors who fought for the Mississippi CSA, 34th Infantry,

When southerners watch “Gods And Generals,” they see a tragic movie about a national tragedy. When northerners watch the movie, they see a Klu Klux Klan recruitment movie; a movie that stirs the hearts of southerners who yearn for the good old days of slavery. That’s how Roger Ebert described the movie.

Wonder what music will come out of our second civil war which may be upon us soon? And whether it will take as long for the country to heal?

Do you know where I can find the instrumental version of this song?

Ah, yes. We meet again, 144p, my old friend.

I've always thought of Mary as having a beautiful voice...making her sexy was an interesting twist :D

I'm a Union guy myself and do think that as things pertained to the upper echelon of the Confederate government it's pretty clear slavery was the primary issue. However, that doesn't mean that no respect should be given to the common foot soldiers who fought bravely for what they thought was freedom or that those their dead left behind don't deserve our sympathy.

God Bless the South and all the lives lost.

The audio is too low

2:16-2:41

On one hand it’s a shame Ted Turner never completed his trilogy, allowing Stephen Lang to complete the trifecta and play Lee in the last one. But on the other hand, I wouldn’t want to watch a 3 hour movie about filthy federalist bastards.

This song is such a serious note to the War of Northern Aggression.

Volume is too low; couldn't hear with my little screen squeakers. Beautiful singer and song. Better volume on this movie soundtrack: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8XtNTJhyEYo.html

That "blinking" or "shutter" effect is really annoying. Great song though

Юг бессмертен....

One white boy was telling me the confederacy was racist. I told him no the public schools were. Teachers principals janitors and mostly administrators school board members. Then I told them the stats on black success rates. He stood silent

The South will rise again - nice song

movie was very flawed and corny not like Gettysburg but it does have an awesome soundtrack, especially this

I so wish they had won - it would have been a better world.
