Red Dead Redemption 2 is a superb and beautiful game, and we wanted to get closer to the action… so we put ourselves in it!! All footage (other than us) is captured in-game in our first foray into virtual production.
We had an idea of how we wanted to film a video for Wayfaring Stranger a while back, and this seemed like a perfect way to capture it.

*LYRICS - Wayfaring Stranger - The Longest Johns (Jack White)* I am a poor wayfaring stranger, traveling through this world of woe. There is no sickness, toil or danger in that fair land to which I go… I'm goin' home to see my mother, I'm goin' home, no more to roam. I'm just goin' over Jordan, I'm just goin' over home. I know dark clouds will hover on me, I know my path is rough and steep… But golden fields lie out before me, where weary eyes no more shall weep… I'm goin' home to see my father, I'm goin' home, no more to roam. I'm just goin' over Jordan, I'm just goin' over home. I'll soon be free from every trial… This form shall rest beneath the sun. I'll drop the cross of self-denial, and enter in that home with God… I'm goin' home to meet my savior, I'm goin' home, no more to roam. I'm just goin' over Jordan, I'm just goin' over home. I'm goin' home to meet my savior, I'm goin' home, no more to roam. I'm just goin' over Jordan, I'm just goin' over home.

That is gorgeously done! Odd how the lyrics are different in different versions. I did a 4-part version in choir in high school with lyrics from 1923, I think- published by a women's religious gathering. I admit, I missed the part at the end that always gave me chills: I'm going home to meet my Savior. He said He'd meet me when I come...

There's a three part documentary with Phil Cunningham looking into the musical links between Ulster, Scotland and America. Called "Wayfaring Stranger", it goes into the historical collection of folk songs by recording ordinary people, as well as digging out early commercial recordings. Quite a bit is devoted to the evolution of different versions of Wayfaring stranger. The whole thing is fascinating, and on You Tube in separate parts.

When my children are born I prepare by picking out a song and learning it to sing to them as a lullaby. My son Benjamin was born in January. His mama had some problems with bleeding so he spent the first two hours with me. This was the first song I sang to him that day. It was the song I sang to him as he took his last breath in May. I don’t know what led me to pick this song for him, other than it was beautiful and sad and bittersweet, just like my memories of him now. But you led me to this song, and now it’s his song. From the bottom of my heart: thank you.

So I have a question. We go camping a lot with my friends and we always had one guitar and sang songs together. But I got a banjo myself recently and we quickly found out that I can't hear the guitar and my mate playing the guitar can't hear the banjo. Any tips so we can both enjoy the full sound of everything other than just sitting really close to each other? Though I assume that is indeed the only realistic solution

@sonan333 Год назад

One of you just needs to play while standing on your head. This will put the instruments on the same plane as the other person's head, leading to less instrumental auditory cancellation. Though I am sorry that I don't have an actual piece of advice for you.

For anyone who is interested in knowing: Jordan often refers to the Ohio River. Who were "God's Redeemed keeping vigil" on the other side of the Ohio? Scottish Presbyterians who were often shot at and the victims of arson, for being conductors on the Underground Railroad: Rev. John Rankin, John Parker, Alexander Gilliland, Francis Huggins Pettijohn... There is real, passionate and riveting history behind this song.

@hantorfolezproductions4402 10 месяцев назад

"Wayfaring Stranger" is a hauntingly beautiful folk and gospel song with a rich and somewhat mysterious history. Its origins are believed to lie in the early 19th century American South, with the melody possibly influenced by European folk traditions. The lyrics speak of a weary soul journeying through life's trials towards a heavenly home, making it a popular choice for funerals. The song gained significant attention during the American Civil War, when a dying Union soldier supposedly etched the words into the walls of Libby Prison. Its enduring themes of longing, sorrow, and hope have led to countless recordings by artists like Burl Ives, Johnny Cash, and Emmylou Harris, cementing "Wayfaring Stranger" as an iconic piece of Americana. Secondary Source: Steel, David Warren, and Richard H. Hulan. The Makers of the Sacred Harp. Urbana: University of Illinois Press, 2010.
