In honor of one of my favorite "fandoms," I've made a harp cover of "As the World Falls Down" from Labyrinth. In the movie, Jareth the Goblin King (David Bowie) sings this beautiful love song to Sarah (Jennifer Connelly).
The lyrics are below:
There's such a sad love
Deep in your eyes A kind of pale jewel
Open and closed Within your eyes
I'll place the sky
Within your eyes
There's such a fooled heart
Beatin' so fast
In search of new dreams
A love that will last
Within your heart
I'll place the moon
Within your heart
As the pain sweeps through,
Makes no sense for you
Every thrill is gone
Wasn't too much fun at all,
But I'll be there for you
As the world falls down
Falling
Falling down
Falling in love
I'll paint you mornings of gold
I'll spin you Valentine evenings
Though we're strangers 'til now,
We're choosing the path
Between the stars
I'll leave my love
Between the stars
As the pain sweeps through,
Makes no sense for you
Every thrill is gone
Wasn't too much fun at all,
But I'll be there for you-ou-ou
As the world falls down
Falling
As the world falls down
Falling
As the world falls down
Falling
Falling
Falling
Falling in love
As the world falls down, falling
Falling
Falling
Falling in love
As the world falls down.....

I have loved this song ever since I watched The Labyrinth when I was five. Now that I’m getting married I want to walk down the aisle to this song, and hearing you play it on harp has really made me want this song even more. Such a beautiful cover, I’m so glad I found it!!!
Congratulations on your engagement!!! :-) I hope you find a harpist to bring this song to life for you!
this was my wife and my first dance song, good choice
It's a perfect wedding song. I hope to have it played on the day I am married.
Same, I cri cause I know that day will never come. A life of nothing is all I got to look forward to!

Magical!!
Thank you! :-) I hope David Bowie would agree!
This sounds very angelic and relaxing! Great performance! Is the harp a difficult instrument to play?
I cannot speak for this wondeful lady, for I do not play harp myself, but from what my Freind has told me (she played harp when she was a child) And she said it's actually not too hard, the strings just hurt your fingers a lot, like more than a guitar string would.
@@rowancox9234 gotcha! 🙂
Hi there! Thank you so much for listening, and I'm so glad you enjoyed! -- I'd say it's roughly comparable to piano in difficulty. Harp is a little easier, in my opinion, but technique is super important because it's dealing with the tension of plucking the strings (whereas with piano, it's more distributed throughout the mechanisms and keys). I've had dedicated students reach basic proficiency in about a year!
Fascinating! I've never played a guitar, myself, so I have no basis for comparison! However, for most harpists, the strings don't hurt at all - they're actually quite soft and tender .... unless you play for a long time all of a sudden. Just like any sport requiring manual contact (holding a baseball bat, tennis racquet, etc), repetitive motion means that calluses will build up to toughen the skin. If I'm regularly practicing 4 hours a day, my hands are totally fine. If I go without practicing for two weeks and THEN do 4 hours in one day, yup, blister city. :-) I HAVE had guitarists pluck some strings (with permission!!), and they're astounded that the strings are as gentle as they are.
Low key getting memories when my mom and I used to watch the movie together^^
Aww, what sweet childhood memories! Thank you! :-)
This is amazing great job!!!
Thank you so much! :-)
If this song isn't played at my wedding im not going
Your comment made me burst out laughing! Thank you.
THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL!!! Thank you!
Oh, gosh! Thank you so much!!

¡Jaja, eres divertidísimo! ¡No creo que el Rey Goblin aprobara el cambio de título! ;-) ¡Gracias por tomarte el tiempo de alegrarme el día con tu comentario!
@@TheMichiganHarpist jjajaja noo. Jareth me enviará a la ciénaga del eterno hedor si se entera... hehehe.

I made this my ringtone. So beautiful!

Also, would it be okay if I use this recording to sing a cover of this song? It's really beautiful.
I don't own the rights to this song or performance, so I can't formally release it. :-) But I definitely wouldn't mind if you did that for your personal happiness - I'd love it if you tagged my channel to give credit for the harp side of things!
@@TheMichiganHarpist Thank you so much!!!! I will do that.
oh my god
Hopefully in a good way, haha! Thank you so much for commenting!
Is your sheet music arrangement available for purchase somewhere? I would LOVE to be able to learn this! Labyrinth is my all-time favorite movie!
I believe Kristina Agresta Copely has a similar one for sale!!! Best of luck!
Hi! I'm getting married next month the theme is The Labyrinth and I'm hoping that I can have your permission to play this for my wedding march?
Hi Laura! Congratulations on your wedding!!! It sounds like it will be an absolute fantasy! :-) -- I do not own the rights to this song, the arrangement, or the performance. So, I do not have the right to give permission one way or the other. (though I very much appreciate you asking!!!!). Whatever you'd like to do based off that is up to you. :-)
Though if you end up somehow integrating this into your wedding, I'd love if you could credit my name. :-)
Hey I was here to ask the same! Congratulations on your wedding I'll be getting married in June 😊. Have you managed to download this song anywhere?
Omg I would love you at my wedding
oh my gosh, thank you!!!
Do you have any sheet music for this? This would be a wonderful piece to play, great performance btw!!
Hi there! I'm so glad you enjoyed the performance!!! This arrangement is one I created, but you can buy it arranged by another harpist here: www.sheetmusicplus.com/title/as-the-world-falls-down-david-bowie-solo-harp-arrangement-digital-sheet-music/21203754
do you do weddings and are you in the Southern California area?
Hello Katie! Unfortunately, while I do play for weddings, I'm in the Detroit, Michigan area. Best of luck!
Hi can this song/version be downloaded?
If you get Any Video Converter, yes! Just please credit me for the performance if you share it. :-)
Wow! Do you know where I could get the score for this? I play the harp...but mine's a Salvi Egan Celtic Lever Harp, no pedals. This was my favorite movie as a kid.
Hello! - It's great to meet another Salvi-Owner! :-) I'm so glad you liked this arrangement! Labyrinth remains one of my favorite movies as well. :-) Unfortunately, this one is definitely arranged for pedal harp. You could probably adapt sections of it for lever harp! I'd recommend starting with this arrangement! :-) www.sheetmusicplus.com/title/as-the-world-falls-down-digital-sheet-music/21203754?ac=1
