Watchhouse - "New Star" (Official Video) 

Beautiful. As an older man, now with grandchildren, this brought a tear to my eye.

I’ll forever love the name mandolin orange but I’m here for the music which is still top notch

As the father of a 13 year old daughter who won't speak to me - hasn't spoken to me in a year on account of lies her mother has poisoned her brain with - this song is breaking my heart. 😞

Still love the music. Waiting for the new name to grow on me.

The level of respect I have for you guys is immeasurable as artists. The conviction it takes to change names and 're-brand', so to speak, speaks volumes about your vision and how true to it you want to stay. I can understand completely the desire to make the change. We were all very different over 10 years ago. But actually doing so as you have done is rare due to fear. Keep writing music forever please. I will support and listen to you forever. You are true artists and musicians. Your live set is still the best show I've ever been to and is burned into my memory.

In ugly times it's great to hear beautiful music. Thank you for calm in a storm

My son has been battling cancer since Jan 2021...this song encapsulates perfectly the feeling we have for our children. Thank you for your beautiful music. It's been incredibly cathartic for me during our treatment.

Your music has saved my life (literally! ) my past almost made my future come to a very quick end. But I found happiness in the toughest of times, The music you write is a mosaic of your past I just feel it in the lyrics. And no matter the name change I will always follow you, Thank you Watchhouse for everything.

This is how you transform society. From the bottom up, with Love!

This is the most anticipated release of the year, for me anyway. I think i've listened to them every day since spring 2020, and when i'm not listening to them I'm playing their music on my guitar...

Oirr baby girl was born this past friday, and has been in the nicu. This was the song she was born to❤

Breath of fresh air to the ears..and the soul.

This song has the power to fill my heart with so much joy it spills over my cheeks. Never been happier ugly crying! ❤ Thank you for this.

My life flashed before me as I watched this video and listened to this lovely music. I remembered my family gatherings and celebrations. You always find a way to touch my heart through your art! Thank you for the wonderful music!! 👍👍👍👍👍

Spectacular! It's apparent there's so much love in this video. It illustrates the song beautifully, very well shot and directed. Plenty of familiar faces too!

Sylvan Esso with the cameo! When my musical worlds collide!

Thank y'all for all the beautiful music! Especially thru these weird times! I think the name change is just fine! It's still y'all and great music you inspire me soo much I love playing my dulcimers to your music!!! THANK YOU

I practiced lighting a match from a matchbook with one hand when I was younger. Beautiful song, thanks😀

Beautiful. Also, really appreciate the "taking back control of this thing" on the website, and appreciate we get to share the fruits of your work. Another benefit: old fans get to become new fans :)

I feel the subtle vibrations of this BEAUTIFUL work of art speaking to my soul. Thank you 🙏

So, we are surfing around on RU-vid looking for our usual work music, which includes a whole lot of MO, when this song comes on. My head swung up and my eyes closed, and I was elsewhere. I asked who it was and then asked, is this Mandolin Orange? Google, Google, and well, yes and no. If there ever was a song I’d describe as reminiscence, this is it. I can feel the hope and the soft acceptance here. The flow of life. I can hear my parents in this song, and me. I can hear humanity. Wow. Just wow! Please come back up to Alaska so I can hear you live and maybe sing along❤️

Mandoline Orange or Watchhouse, never mind. The brilliant music and his awesome interpretations are there. Can't get enough of you guys. Thank you so much for all your incredibly touching music. Can't wait to see you guys live again, after Stockholm and Gent, which where both woooooow

I thought, what with the tremendous talents you both have grown and developed over the past, it would only be a matter of time. Song Poetry! And you are so good with it! Not since my turn to grow up into the art form of the late 60’s-70’s when I first grew to understand. You’ve arrived. And I like your name. Sparklers in a dance circle. Cool!

Beautiful song

So tender (tears).

New Star We settled in for the winter The cast in our lives, found a new star And all of our remaining hours Were bundled up tight and placed in our arms Someday we’ll be older Our eyes may cry Look what’s become of me and my former Steal away, steal away, remember At least we’re all here together Finding our way as a teacher Stumbling along a little unrested If only one lesson could reach her She’ll know our love could never be tested Someday she’ll be older Our eyes may cry Look what’s become of me and my former Steal away, steal away, remember At least we’re all here together At least we’re all here together We settled in for the winter The cast in our lives, found a new star

This is impressive music. Call your band whatever you want.....I'm a gonna listen.

This is just so, so beautiful ... it oozes love! Thank you so much for the joy that run from my head to my toes every time that I listen to your music.

There is so much love within this song . Thank you for sharing it with the world

I've listened to this beautifully crafted piece of love work 34 times. 35 now. Thank you kindly for this song and all you do.

Thank you for expressing so honestly and beautifully what so many of us sensitive hearts feel from day to day. I'm also sooo happy to see your Sylvan Esso friends enjoying being together in this poignant video! Hoping you two get to San Diego someday soon.

......like always, such a sweet heartfelt music.......someday we'll be older.......

Heyy Mountain Man themselves how sweet :3

Haha love that Sylvan Esso and Mountain Man are there! Some of my favorite artists in one place!

Good grief how did I miss this? Molly Sarlé and Alexandra Sauser-Monnig were in the video! I got to talk to Molly while she was setting up for a show at the Haw River Ballroom in Saxapawha, NC. Molly is such a sweet, wonderful person. It was a pleasure chatting with her.

Very nice, great video!

You two just make me happy to my core ❤️

Wonderful.

The thing about your music is it is so exquisitely crafted. Witnessing a video and a song for the first time feels like a real experience. Endless gratitude for your art. ❤️

Love it.

Beautiful!

Names can change but the quality remains the same. Bought tears to my eyes, not sure what the video is about but it made me think how important friends/family are during the pandemic...especially when our UK government is peddling fear and propaganda. Beautiful track.

Maybe it's just me, but this song is tugging at me, at my heart, at all the things I've missed because of mistakes I made along the way. At least I'm not numb to what might have been had I only known....but, since I can't go back I can only say, love like there's no tomorrow...

Can't help but wonder where Amelia is! I see Nick, Molly, and Alexandra. Also, so lovely to see so many of my favorite musicians loving being alive together

oof awe man, you got me right in the feels.......as always - i just simply can't love your music more

I have loved you for so long and this new direction makes so much sense. I love everything about it. The music is beautiful. You are beautiful.

I like the song. Also, I love seeing friends in videos!; I like the excitement it generates from my small-town roots.

❤❤❤. So pretty . Glad I found their music.

A beautiful song about cake. We're hungry gonna go have a birthday now. Thanks guys

Great to see all the smiling faces!!

Beautiful....and so many people that are in my record collection in that last family shot at the end. ❤

I can relate. It will take awhile for new name(watchhouse) to get use to.

Yup, sounds like Mandolin Orange. Can't wait for this new album under a new name! This was an absolutely beautiful song, if the rest of the songs are as good as this one, it could rival Tides of a Teardrop

Sylvan esso and mountain man!?! How cool to have them in the video!!! Been wondering if you all ever hang out - I got my answer! Nice!

So beautiful

I think a co-headlining tour with Whitehorse, my other favorite husband and wife duo, would be amazing.

It's very cool to see underrated artists to whom I have subbed, uploading more in this quranatine. Helps me go through it.

Ordered on lovely vinyl :) happy days kids!!!!

Huge fan. Great song! Can't wait to see yall in Whitefish, MT this summer.

Some of the best albums are slow burners. That's not a bad thing. This is a great one. Give this a few good listens. Name change not a problem. I'm watching this house still.

Beautiful! 💫

Thanks

I needed this right now.

Great new song! I was a bit sceptical about the name change, as many of your fans, but aren't we all a bit reluctant when it comes to change something? Saw you live in Munich two years ago, and I still have fond memories . Keep on!

Can’t wait to hear this live later this year

made me cry that did

ALL-CAPS LOVE IT!

This is beautiful Also the focus on flames and light can be loosely connected to your new name ❤

Beautiful I love it this clip is also heartbreaking as we can't even have a dinner with close friends in those hard days of pandemic. Start to wonder if that will remain scenes of a gone for good past

love, love, love Cant wait for the Album

Beautiful song! I also loved the mixing with the double bass out in front. It sounds like you are in a small room with all the musicians.

This is Beautiful 💯❤😮

Great new stuff guys... now I just need to remember the new name so I can find you

Yayyyyyyyy!!

Emilyyyy !!

So happy I like this one! This style fits y'all well.

I love it guys!!! Looking forward to hearing your new album in August!! Congrats on the name change and the new beginning.The alone time in the cabin sounds like a turning point for you all.I'll always love the older music and will continue on with the new. :) Thanks for your beautiful music.Take care..prayers and love..Cathy and Molly(my adopted filly)

Surely, Jackson Browne and Watchhouse are in cahoots. Literally, my top two artists and they both released new music and videos today. I'm done for the day. I'm done.

Love the song and video - just pre-ordered the new album!

Really loving your new material and look forward to hearing the rest of your new album.

Happy to have discovered you......

Cant wait to see you at ROMP!!!

touching my heart - thank you sooo much

Unsung star of the video at 0:54, goodness.

This song is reassuring and uplifting, spiritually. Love the musicality, the lyric and the themes in the video. Another great one from Watchouse!

Beautiful song! Full of hope, happiness and contentment. By the way, is amazing your courage to live Mandolin Orange somewhere on the road and move on to a Watchhouse from where you will gift us with new perspectives. Thank you for being in the soundtrack of my life!

This is a really good one

woooow

love you guys!

😍😍😍😍😍😍

ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!😲 What key is the harmonica?🤔

Watching this video really makes me miss relationships.

good song good video...whats in a name?...love it

Is that Nick from Sylvan Esso I see? Can we please please please get a collaboration of you guys!? Also, I am loving the new direction you are taking your music. Great as always and looking forward to whats to come. Thanks for bringing some magic to our lives.

Playthrough? I'd love to learn how to play this when I go camping with my wife and daughter.

Please cover Fields of Gold! Originally by Sting but the cover by Eva Cassidy is more your style!!

Mandolin Orange ??. Watchhouse .???? what the hell is going on and why , can someone please explain.

I hope they didn’t change the name because of Orange Man Bad. I love Mandolin Orange. The name and music just matched.

...Finding it almost impossible to sing this song myself atm, gettin a lump in my throat every time

Could I find the lyrics anywhere?
