Gregory Alan Isakov (w/ the Colorado Symphony Orchestra) -- "The Stable Song" [REACTION/RATING] 

Exactly

And that's why I'm here, too!

I know!!!!

It really is beautiful.

@Logan Schrapf You’re the leader in the clubhouse so far with your Bonnaroo personal request!! Wonderful summation, too-thanks for that.

@@RockN2Country it was surreal, it was on the social change stage and he would play a song and then do an interview portion. When he asked for requests I was blown away that a, he hadn't played the song yet, and b, no one started freaking out and yelling for Stable song so I took the honor

I also requested this at his show, over all the people yelling suggestions for his last song, i waited for silence then shouted "Stable Song!!" And he began playing immediately. Awesome!!

@Del Medico That's so cool that you've been on this band and artist--you're way ahead of the curve, my friend! Not only was the song itself amazing in so many ways, but the creativity of and in the video was other-worldly (literally and figuratively). I mean, a chuck wagon on the moon? Unbelievably brilliant and ballsy. BTW, welcome to the channel!

RockN2Country yeah it was right when Pandora started they suggested it around 2010. I still don’t really know what it means lol but it feels so profound. Been watching your channel for a little bit. I just love this guy so much I had to comment finally. Love your channel and the thoughtful insight.

@Distin28018 Yeah man, this got me good. So much going on in it and it all worked together, like Pink Floyd on steroids. Glad it hit you too, and welcome aboard the channel.

Even the album title makes me feel feelings.

He really is amazing, have you hear Raising Cain and Virginia May, really love those.. And She Always Takes It Black AND Suitcase Full Of Sparks!

Good tastes, my friend. 27 here, been listening to Gregory since I first heard Big Black Car around 19-21

@Christine Ems It’s funny you say David didn’t like it, as I was awaiting his comments on the song. When I post a song I sometime get an idea in my head as to who is likely to respond to it, and this one had David written all over it, though I had no idea which way he’d go. My prediction was he’s like it and would have a deep interpretation of the video that made perfect sense. Non such luck this time around-ha!!

@@RockN2Country Sorry Don...just too textbook "Indie folk" for me. You know...moody, depressive, and so focused on being emotional and intelligent that it comes off as neither. :-(

@Kevin GG I’m glad you enjoyed the reaction as much as I did hearing the song for the first time. So much talent and beauty rolled into one composition.

I love this song. When it comes to finding the meaning of it, well it’s like Neil Young’s music. It’s up to the listener to interpret it. Sometimes the beauty of songs comes from the sound of the words not their meaning. Not saying that’s the case with The Stable Song. I just have loved this song since I first heard it. San Luis is another of Gregory’s songs that I really enjoy. Check it out.

I wonder the same.

@scottandal and @Dale Dubose For the most part I don't have that much time to hear the other songs of the artists unless I'm reacting to them. I remember making a comment in one of my videos of about a month ago that due to the fortunate situation in which I've found myself, which involves having come to the genre of traditional country fairly recently, and getting such incredible joy, along with utter amazement at the beauty of the lyrics and instrumentation, that I am purposely keeping myself ignorant of the other songs so I can have a fresh reaction on camera. There is also a difference between listening to songs with headphones on and doing things like driving in the car or working around the house, and my appreciation of the songs goes up enormously when I am focused on the songs. The time might come when I listen to the music non-stop in whatever I'm doing, but I am still a kid in a candy shop every time I hear a song for the first time. What adds to it is that many folks, like you two, already know this music and have been enjoying it for decades, and it makes me happy to know that others have had such good influences and stunningly amazing music in their lives. Traditional country is seriously intellectual music, contrary to popular opinion, and discovering what you all have known for many years is a happy turn of events for me.

@Dale Dubose I'm glad you liked it, too. I was blown away by its beauty and artistry, as you could tell. What a treat for me to have had the song requested and get such a pleasant surprise.

@dan sigurdson I'm glad your day started without a bang for you. Ha!!

@@RockN2Country can't complain roof over my head food in cupboard better off than most in world HAKAD

@maxell I'm glad you found us here, and equally touched by your reaction to my reaction!! Welcome aboard!

@Lonnie Kramlich I’m glad you liked it as much as I did. Few songs moved me like this one did in such a unique way. The only other band that seems to transport me this way is Pink Floyd, but the visuals in this video surpassed just about anything I’ve ever seen. Sometimes I feel incredibly fortunate to have been able to experience something so brilliant, and this was one of those times. Have fun with it!
