I am 90 and I enjoy these songs every... ack can't breathe! I should probably stop typing what is happening and call 911! What's the number for 911? ACK!
“This world is not my home, I’m just a-passing through” just popped into my head a little while ago. I’ve never felt it was so true in all my life. Great old gospel song, Amen.
The 2 Mothers of Country Music and 1 of the 2 Fathers of Country Music along with Jimmie Rodgers are The Best Band in the history of Country Music. The Carter Family. love that BEAUTIFUL sound they make.
The first tune I learned to play on the mandolin was Wild Wood Flower! That was about 68 years ago and I know that, until I die, I will always be able to play that tune on a mandolin or, in my mind.
I cried a bit when this came on after during the netflix movie's credits, it's a very relatable character and this song and lyrics is perfect, very moving song for a very moving movie.
This brings back memories for me. When I was just a pup, we would listen to the old 78s (78 rpm) and later on to the 33-1/3 rpm LP vinyl records of the Carter Family. Then Maybelle and her daughters made regular appearances at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, at the old Ryman Auditorium. Where we lived--in the country, in the South--we made our own music. Friends would gather on the weekends, and we all made music together and everyone had a chance to sing their favorite songs. Everybody knew at least one Carter Family song--and at least one Jimmy Rogers song--and most knew an Ernest Tubb song or two (like "My Filipino Baby" or "Walkin' the Floor Over You"). The Carter Family was the gold standard--not because they were exceptional performers, but because they were "down home" folks from the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. People like baasting, Hatty Preme, and others who post the Carter Family recordings help keep those wonderful memories alive. Thank you, baasting, for uploading and sharing this one. Be sweet!

Greeting from algeria i'm a big lover of country music and american culture since i was a kid now i'm 38 years old and still the same love and much more
We grow up.as we think, yet as we get older, simplicity is best. Then your wife is all you need, your immediate family. Everything else is just trouble..
I must agree with so many that i dont feel at home in this world anymore. So called civillised people killing our farmers daily. Im 74 and i cant wait for Jesus to come and take me from the world.
This was one of my grandma’s favorite songs. She passed last November. Another favorite song of hers was “Going Up Home To Live In Green Pastures” by Ralph Stanley. You should check that one out as well. It’s a very moving song.
I'm not a religious man but I love good music, and this music feels my heart even tho many of these song are so sad! Brings tears to my eyes but it feels good anyway! Thanks
That's the power of the Holy Ghost working. You are literally crying with joy from your spirit being edified(improved) by God. They Holy Ghost is known as the Comforter.
i don’t believe in god myself but think this song communicates a wonderful sense of longing for something greater and more beautiful. and as someone who sees people being so unkind and horrible to one another all the time- i think that’s something that is very relatable. it’s hard to live in a world full of so much cruelness and even harder to feel at home in it.
"I can't feel at home in this world anymore," I started to tear up when I thought about heaven, and how I really DON'T feel at home in this world anymore. "If heaven's not my Home, then Lord what will I do." I wanna go to heaven so bad
If Heaven's now my home then Lord what can I do the Angels beckon me from Heaven's Open Door in don't feel at home in this world anymore I think I've been singing that song since the day I was born and it ain't more truer that it is today
Verse 1] This world is not my home, I'm just a-passing through My treasures and my hopes are all beyond the blue; Where many Christian children have gone on before And I can't feel at home in this world anymore Over in glory land there is no dying there The saints are shouting Victory and singing everywhere I hear the voice of Nell that I have heard before And I can't feel at home in this world anymore [Chorus] Oh Lord, You know I have no friend like you If Heaven's not my home, Oh Lord what would I do? Angels taken me to Heaven's open door And I can't feel at home in this world anymore [Verse 2] Heaven's expecting me that's one thing I know I fixed it up with Jesus a long time ago He will take me through though I am weak and poor And I can't feel at home in this world anymore Oh I have a loving mother over in glory land I don't expect to stop until I shake her hand She's gone on before just waiting at heaven's door And I can't feel at home in this world anymore
The bristol sessions in 1927 Ralph peer sought out folks like this he being Ralph peer took out an ad in the paper looking for talent AP Carter heard that and the rest is history
Is it just me? Or did folks used to have something we don’t have today. My 91 year old momma, with all her infirmities, still has more to her than ten of me or a hundred of these little twits today.
Gerry James The country folks of yesteryear had a life with value of unrestricted love, music and songs which reflected value and stability in thar life. A life of God fearing ways. PLEASE LORD hear this prayer, bring them back and get rid of all the licensuous ways we now live in in this year of 2020. Amen!
I’m not a religious person and I don’t believe in any afterlife, etc. But, I love this old time country bluegrass style church music. I hope this music lives on via the Internet as I’m sure it’s no longer being done otherwise.
Belief in the afterlife seems to be incompatible with modern findings about the brain and being sentient. However, considered how crappy life was for most people when those songs were written I don't blame people for wanting to go to Heaven. And life is still crappy for countless people. If we are able to fix this world so everybody can have a good life, then everybody will be cherishing their one and only life. And listening to old time music can be part of enjoying life to the fullest.
@@DellaStreet123 I completely agree with you. I think religion is very important for a lot of people. It gives hope. And hope in my opinion, is the one thing that is so necessary especially when you’re down. I think just having a rich material life is not really a satisfying life. Maybe it is. I don’t really know. I don’t live a modern trendy material lifestyle. But maybe it is a happy life and I’m just not aware of it. But I think we’ve lost a family connection in our modern life and that seems just as bleak to me.
