This is a graveside singer. This song is sung in churches with all the parts and is beautiful. This specific version/style is Appalachian grave wailing. Someone close to the family that can both honor and not get overwhelmed in the emotions of it will wail the song in all minor keys to give the family an energetic outlet to send the grief. It’s meant to harmonize and be a curtain for the cries and grief of the family. To give them privacy cause them hollers echo. And the neighboring ridges won’t hear the family, they’ll only hear the funeral song. It’s an old heritage. And highly honored.

As a Appalachian who grew up but turned pagan, our gospel still makes me emotional.

nia :

sometimes it’s not about what you believe, it’s about what you feel.. that feeling that rises is the chase

Ansleigh :

You can’t beat an Appalachian mamaw singing grave side or at the water. It’s a moment everyone appreciates ❤️

Mallory Collins :

I'm agnostic and that won't change. but I grew up southern baptist. singing I'll fly away will always feel like my nana and Aunt Shirley are alive and floating around the room, and my sister and my mom are right next to me instead of 2000 miles away.

Paige Reiring :

You can be an atheist and still appreciate and respect the soul-shaking weight of Appalachian gospel ❤️

Appalachian gospel reminds me of my grandpa and grandma

Grace.Cantrell836 :

I was the graveside singer at both my grandparents funerals and my dad’s funeral, I swear in those moments I can never sound the same. I believe deeply God himself gives me the strength to sing for them

Southern Baptist here and I love hearing singing like this.

If there is a heaven for me when I leave this world I hope it sounds like this

For those commenting who have left Christianity, “And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.” Luke 15 : 17 , 20 KJV The Lord will welcome you back with open arms if you return to him and you can come live for eternity with all of us who believe in Jesus death, burial, and resurrection. There is no shame in coming back no matter how far you have strayed. We love you and Jesus loves you.

Megan Goble :

Same. I’m not religious, at all. But was raised in a very old regular Baptist family. When they start singing it sends chills all over my body.

CUNTagious :

The knowing that a person believes in something.. fills me with a form of happiness that not much else can compare. I don't care what they believe in, but damnit it's beautiful when people do. Doesn't matter what we call it, I think everyone needs something to believe in.

Makes me cry - my sweet mama is in Heaven

Nyx Mars ✨️ :

I left the church 17 years & converted to paganism, but old southern/Appalachian gospel always brings me peace. it will always feel like home to me.

Jeremy Schneider :

It’s because they’re singing from the heart. She believes deeply in what the lyrics say
