I prefer this version much more, I think he really captures the melancholy of the words incredibly, his voice is almost chilling, brrrr....very talented singer.
I remember this song from when I was really young I bought it on my iPod n only when he covers it Randomly thought of it n took me 1 hr to find ,worth it tho ( god bless Jamie cus he’s one a kind in my heart ❤)
I have fallen in love with this man's music. It has been so long since we have had GREAT music... Thank you Mr. J Woon for reminding us how great gifts can really be!!!
Back here watching in 2020. Just watched 1917 and recognised this amazing track and remembered this version as it’s still the original version to me. Still highly rate Jaime Woon as a real looping inspiration and pioneer in music 🌎✌️
timberlake, michael jackson, jamiroquai, jason mraz, paulo nutini... You can hear all those great singers in his voice. Pehpas he aint got a Unique voice but it's a truly amazing combination, awesome to listen to
Jamie's lyrics and soulful voice develop such a meaning to his songs that cannot be easily emulated by even the best of performers. There is such a sincerity in the relationship between artist and music that one cannot help but admire.!!!!!! Absolute joy to listen and watch you JAMIE! my new favorite artist and music genre has been discovered.
"The Wayfaring Stranger" (aka "Poor Wayfaring Stranger" or "I Am a Poor Wayfaring Stranger"), Roud 3339, is a well-known American spiritual/folk song likely originating in the early 19th century[1] about a plaintive soul on the journey through life. As with most folk songs, many variations of the lyrics exist
Oops. This guy's new to me. But...I just finished Ed Sheeran's video (big fan of Sheeran) and I gotta say.... As a fan of the song for a long, long time...Woon reaches my soul. Definitely a new Woon fan.
My favourite thing about Jamie is he easily has the voice to turn commercial but turns his head to the more experimental acapella side of things. much more original, much more interesting to listen to. keep the records coming mate
I heard the ed sheeran version first,then I listened to the jonny cash version then jack white's.Couldn't believe how different they were,THEN I heard this version and I now see where Ed got it from.Love ed's version and I love this too it's just good to hear where Ed got his inspiration from,the song wouldn't of been worth covering if not for this.
I'm actually appalled that Ed Sheeran's version of this has more views than this one. Yeah, Sheeran's talented, but this is far more soulful and Woon's own adaptation of a song of a completely different style. Kudos to Woon for this arrangement.
I love Ed Sheeran and his journey, but I honestly believe It’s a fork in the road of our musical history, Jamie Woon was the other side of the fork, the other side of worldwide recognition for sheer musical talent and meticulous composition
Personally I love this version the most. One thing we can all agree on is that Jamie's high notes are WAY more raw, effortless and more suited. Great spiritual kind of vibe in this tune.
jamie arranged the song awesomely and ed sheeran sang it beautifully. and because of that more people know about jamie. so in my opinion they helped each other.
I am a poor wayfarin' stranger Trav'lin' through this world alone. There's no sickness, toil or danger In that bright land to which I go. I'm goin' there to see my mother I'm goin' there, no more to roam; I'm only goin' over the Jordan I'm only goin' over home. I know dark clouds will gather 'round me I know my way is rough an' steep; But beautiful fields lie just beyond me Where souls redeem their vigils keep. And I'm goin' there to see my father I'm goin' there, no more to roam; I'm only goin' over the Jordan I'm only goin' over home. I wanna wear that crown of glory When I get home to that bright land; And I wanna shout down Satan's story In concert with the bloodwashed band. And I'm goin' there to see my brothers They said they'd meet me when I come; But I'm only goin' over the Jordan I'm only goin' over home.
it became one of Burl Ives's signature songs, included on his 1944 album The Wayfaring Stranger. Ives used it as the title of his early 1940s CBS radio show and his 1948 autobiography. He became known as "The Wayfaring Stranger". I'd say that predates Johnny Cash, Jamie Woon AND Ed sheeran. ;)
this is a great song no matter who dings it i like both versions but i like eds better only cus i like the way he sings like you can tell he puts his whole being in it and sings his heart out...but jamies version is very mellow i like that too...both great singers
Ed Sheeran and Jamie Woon both do amazing covers, they are different - Ed's is more modern and well, this is just beautiful. Love them both, such talent :')
oh you beauty, i thought this was ed sheerans until recently, jamie and ed are by far the best artists in a long time, they both are pure talent, doing it all themselves, with amazing results. god i can't express how much i love them both
This is still such an absolute gem of a song, holy. What a beautiful cover
I prefer this version much more, I think he really captures the melancholy of the words incredibly, his voice is almost chilling, brrrr....very talented singer.
I take that back. True talent should not be judged by 4 Knobs and lost forever!!!
FINALLY!!! Found this gem again. Beautiful
I remember this song from when I was really young I bought it on my iPod n only when he covers it
Randomly thought of it n took me 1 hr to find ,worth it tho ( god bless Jamie cus he’s one a kind in my heart ❤)
Still,imo, the best version of this song ever.....
His voice is amazing. if you guys haven't, you absolutely NEED to see the Burial mix of this song. It is unbelievable.
I realize it is kinda off topic but do anyone know of a good place to watch new tv shows online?
@Chaim Vance I watch on Flixportal. You can find it on google :)
@Jacob Christopher yup, I have been watching on Flixportal for months myself :)
@Jacob Christopher thanks, I signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :) I appreciate it !
@Chaim Vance glad I could help =)

wow forgot about this... 2019...12 years!!
this song is a part of my life
Back here watching in 2020. Just watched 1917 and recognised this amazing track and remembered this version as it’s still the original version to me. Still highly rate Jaime Woon as a real looping inspiration and pioneer in music 🌎✌️
What version did they use in that movie?

Geezzzzz....... I'm speachless, laying on the ground in a puddle......
Hot dang! That was GOOD!
Thank you, Jamie Woon
Blessings!
a star is born!
For Jamie Woon is his music more important than his appearance, that's what makes him a real MUSICartist
OMG. such soul in his voice. haven't heard man voices like his lately, glad to.
wow. what a video! This director Sophie Clements is one to watch out for!!
does not understand why this absolute babe of a lad isn't more famous with a beautiful voice like this!
Goosh, he makes me fall in love with him everytime i hear his songs..His voice is soo wooow!
Speechless!
I LOVE THIS MAN....HE IS ACE...
I love Jamie Woon.

Educate these fooolz
Wow! I'm blown away...
Trully unbelievable!
Just discovered this talent, his voice is amazing!! Please come to USA!!
love jamie..the best
Oops. This guy's new to me. But...I just finished Ed Sheeran's video (big fan of Sheeran) and I gotta say.... As a fan of the song for a long, long time...Woon reaches my soul. Definitely a new Woon fan.
same here! I love both versions!!!
G. Ma Samee
Wow...amazing what he has done to this old British spiritual/folk song!!!
the burial remix is absolutely heartwrenching
He is the best!!!!
the voice
The collaboration of both artists is pure perfection...
is awesome in a way not many can digest.deal with it
his voice... oh my god.
This song has a real old spiritual-touch to it. Beautiful!
pure magic...
I've gotta say, I've listened to a great many versions of this song over the years and ... this one is in my top five. Excellent job!
Beautiful.
This right here is music my friend
What a vocal. Got an eye very firmly on this mans future releases... superb.
Beautiful voice to accent a beautiful song. Lots of love from Canada
Wow, what emotion in his face...
I saw this guy at the Bracknell festval. He drew a nice big crowd. Awesome. Big thumbs up !!!
ahhh his voice is the f'ing SEEEEEEEEEEEEEX!!!
Stunning. Just caught it on MTV2's 120 Minutes last night. I'll be keenly watching Mr. Woon's career now! Beautiful video, perfect for the song.
he looks so incredibly cute here!
I still can't decide which I like better,Burial's remix or this one!!!...obsessed with both of them!!!
My favourite thing about Jamie is he easily has the voice to turn commercial but turns his head to the more experimental acapella side of things. much more original, much more interesting to listen to. keep the records coming mate
what a DEEP song ..
:x
My mother loves your voice, from hungary
Great Version !!
I heard the ed sheeran version first,then I listened to the jonny cash version then jack white's.Couldn't believe how different they were,THEN I heard this version and I now see where Ed got it from.Love ed's version and I love this too it's just good to hear where Ed got his inspiration from,the song wouldn't of been worth covering if not for this.
REALLY NICE SONG!!!!!!!
So clearly inspired by Stevie Wonder. And I love it! :D
Can't wait for this album to drop. Been keeping my eye on this guy for a while now, really does this song justice.
Just playing this song back to see if it’s as good as I thought it was 7 or so years. It’s actually much better than I thought it was.
I love this song, it's in my heat and soul!
this kid's got some soul man , fantastic version.
I'm actually appalled that Ed Sheeran's version of this has more views than this one. Yeah, Sheeran's talented, but this is far more soulful and Woon's own adaptation of a song of a completely different style. Kudos to Woon for this arrangement.
Agree
I love Ed Sheeran and his journey, but I honestly believe It’s a fork in the road of our musical history, Jamie Woon was the other side of the fork, the other side of worldwide recognition for sheer musical talent and meticulous composition
Mate. It's all about Johnny Cash, that said, Jamie Woon definitely does it justice :)
jeeze, this guy gets around a lot doesn't he!
This guys a raw talent. Underground and pure too.
Hes one of my new favorites with Dub FX, Eskmo, Scroobius Pip, AllFlaws
it's a brilliant piece of work, great voice
Personally I love this version the most. One thing we can all agree on is that Jamie's high notes are WAY more raw, effortless and more suited. Great spiritual kind of vibe in this tune.
jamie arranged the song awesomely and ed sheeran sang it beautifully. and because of that more people know about jamie. so in my opinion they helped each other.
Holy crap dude, very sweet indeed! Wondering what comes next!
ugghhh!!! this is totally not the version i'm looking for but he sounds so ridiculously good i'm forced to change my mind!!!!!!!!aarrrggghhhh!!!
Totally inspiring..i love original always more than any rmx. Amen.
I am a poor wayfarin' stranger
Trav'lin' through this world alone.
There's no sickness, toil or danger
In that bright land to which I go.
I'm goin' there to see my mother
I'm goin' there, no more to roam;
I'm only goin' over the Jordan
I'm only goin' over home.
I know dark clouds will gather 'round me
I know my way is rough an' steep;
But beautiful fields lie just beyond me
Where souls redeem their vigils keep.
And I'm goin' there to see my father
I'm goin' there, no more to roam;
I'm only goin' over the Jordan
I'm only goin' over home.
I wanna wear that crown of glory
When I get home to that bright land;
And I wanna shout down Satan's story
In concert with the bloodwashed band.
And I'm goin' there to see my brothers
They said they'd meet me when I come;
But I'm only goin' over the Jordan
I'm only goin' over home.
