#1917 #cover #wayfaringstranger - เพลง
Watching this scene in the movie hits really hard. They're sitting in a circle, quietly listening to this boy sing a song about death and what lies beyond. Then, when the song ends, they all rise and march off to nearly certain death.
This human being omg.... Got hooked with the witcher song and now I'm a big fan of this voice..... What a voice.....wow
Same
same
Seconded!
Lol me too omg
Ai !
My great grandfather was a horseman in 1917. He was a farmer. He was fighting with a sword and he was... 18 years old .
A beautiful song for these young brave people.
A nice voice...
Thanks from France for all these brave
That's the plot of war horse
My great grandfather fought alongside his brother in WWI sadly my great grandfather's brother was K.I.A.
@@springbok8876 Your Great Grandfather was lucky to have survived the entire war. Many people didn't survive a few days into the war, nonetheless the entire 4 years it was fought. I bet they were both brave soldiers.
My grandfather on mom's side of the family, was in WW1. He passed in 1960, I was only 7. I'm 68 now & still remember his military funeral. ❤🇺🇸
Both of my Grandfathers served in the US military.
One in the navy during WWII, the other in Korea.
I miss them both so much.
"Ok, it's totally fine, why am I crying?"
Don't cry!!! But I know what you mean, just trying to record this song was difficult. It really punches you in the feels.
Rachel Hardy don’t worry for me, I get emotional for almost anything that is supposed to be touching lol
Anyway, you’re gorgeous and your voice is always perfect and on point, love from Italy❤️
@@giacomochiesa1740 I hope you're staying safe over there, from Australia.
Gryphon0468 I am, thank you! It's a hard time for everyone now, but fortunately the infections in Italy are decreasing, which means that if we continue this way it will soon be over!
@@RachelHardy If before i said that you lacked the bloodlust and darkness to portrait if i had a heart accuratlly, i must say the sadness and longing in your voice makes this music of hope beautifull, you portraited it perfectlly, in terms of sound and intrepretation, becouse its about hope, hope of a better life, its a song of travellers, the migrants of yore, and that relats to everyone that is making is way to something. There is no room for darkness in this one, that is why its perfect for your sadness, wich in turn is your greatest streght, becouse it creates empaty. sorry for the misspelling, i´m portuguese.
"Have to find the Devons"
"what's that mate?"
"I have to find the Devons"
"we're the Devons"
"you're the Devons?"
"yes mate"
"why haven't you gone over?"
"we're the reserves. Yeah, we're D company, we spent the night digging in. They don't send us all at once"
"Colonel Mckenzie, where is Colonel Mckenzie?"
"he's further up the line"
I’m pretty sure before they said where the reserves that where the second wave
The soldier in 1917 singing this, was basically saying that at this point, all his loved ones were gone. During the time that the movie takes place, people were lucky to get to be 50. So the soldier is saying that he basically has nothing left in this world.
Bruh in world war two my grandpa had two brothers one eastern front the other south pacific they both made lamps don't ask out of what.

The Day The Earth stood still.
Doesn't return my phone calls iether!
My grandfather (also a WWII veteran) passed away this summer at the age of 97. Everytime I hear this song, I am reminded of how different my whole world feels now and it seems like time goes by much faster; a journey to the day of our possible reunion...
Maybe we will have a family on the other side which we might see our loved ones
My Great Grandfather served in WW2 as well. The song gives me the same feelings that you have. A hope that one day, I will be reunited with my great grandparents, my grandpas, my dog, and everyone else I care about. That day is inevitable, and while I will be sad when I leave this world, I'll be with the ones I love forever, Then, I'll have all the time to be with them.
Beautiful cover!

Thank you! People keep forgetting the origins of songs and stories. It really helps when the people covering the music share this kind of information.
I doubt it was popularised by 1917. This song has been popular for many years.
@@Lexidragon It's been known by those of us who are into folk music for centuries. That doesn't negate that the movie boosted it's popularity and brought it to a new, large group of people. Much like the latest Lord of The Rings movies boosted the series audience beyond the books and the cartoons.
As far as I know, Ed Sheeran popularised this
The printed version of the song does indeed originate in English in the American South in the 1850's however it is likely a song that came over with Scots-Irish settlers who came to Appalachia in 18th century. The song in its current form can be traced to Central Appalachia to about 1784 where the American Pioneers sang it as a hymn.
@@zachsmith8916 It's called Libby prison hymn
I'm a licensed skydiver. Statistically, it's not as dangerous as most people imagine. But I've been to funerals for fellow jumpers. A lot of people would say that we're stupid. Truth is, we're not reckless or naive. Most of us make a lot of effort to get away with what we do, and we have a complex relationship with Death. The Reaper's a bastard, but an enemy to be respected. And we all have to face Him sooner or later. I hope to live past 100, but I can easily imagine this song going through my head as one of my last thoughts after a hard impact.
As a pilot, I do occasionally point out the act of jumping out of a perfectly good aircraft, but the truth is that I completely understand your view. We calculate risk before each flight because the excellent safety of flight is dependent of all those involved. We also spend most of our training preparing for that extreme minuscule chance that we could end up in a situation where a pilots judgment could mean the difference between walking away, being lifted away or not walking away at all.
"I'll soon be free from earthly trials...
My body laid in the old churchyard...
I'll drop this cross of self denial...
And go singing home to God."
"I NEED TO SPEAK TO COLONEL MACKENZIE!!!!!"
@Darth Embo You'll have to wait till the first verse is over
This version has a Misty Mountains Cold feel to it... rough, arduous, mysterious journey ahead, but also a sense of relief and deliverance.
I fell in love with this song the first time I listened to it. The most angelic voice I have heard in a long time.
I am a soldier, and if I were about to go where soldiers go... and heard your voice, Rachel, I would know that my life is complete and would feel no fear. When I hear you sing, I think of home and feel peace. It's like my soul smiles a little. Perhaps because those sounds come from our true home... which means your voice is truly divine.
Truly, God has blessed her. And us for being able to listen
Hey fellow soldier. I feel you on this one. I always listen to some of her covers when I'm deployed !
This is the most beautiful comment I have ever read. God bless you!
@@amyhoeksema9850 You too, Amy, thank you. Those words still don't do Rachel justice.
@@wildmustang1987 thank you for you're servant, o7
absolutely gorgeous. As a vocalist myself I appreciate the beauty in this song and to hear it sung by a women is amazing
Hit “like” before the singing began because I subconsciously knew it’d be good... my subconscious was correct... bravo
Me too! So true -- it's really something unique when she sings ^^
I must be in heaven. Cause this for sure feel like a voice from the skies. Really beautiful singing Rachel. I suscribe to the channel because of The Witcher song and it was the best decision. I like 1917 and you did an excellent cover from one of the powerful song in the movie. Greetings from Argentina!.
Same here
Same, found her from looking for witcher cover. Subbed since. This is what angels look and sound like imo
Me too. I too subscribed to channel because of the witcher song.
Same for me
simp
This is a soul wrencher. Possibly more emotional than the actual movie scene
In a time of great uncertainty and chaos, this gave me peace.
Thank you for this. I heard this song sung, by a female vocalist, at a memorial service many years ago. You have a beautiful voice and do it justice.
No words can be enough to express gratitude for such a gifted voice...thanks
Probably one of the best things that Rachel Hardy has is her feelings toward the song she sings. She sings them as if they were about her, from her personal standpoint. She feels what the lyrics suggest, then transmits it perfectly to the viewer. I acually want to go see my mother, over Jordan. And she's 2 rooms away right now
You have a beautiful voice, I’m sure the veterans of ww1 would be very, deeply moved to hear your amazing voice as much as I was. Absolutely loved your video
yeah about that… 😬
@@daniel-johnson_dam don't tell him bro it's not worth it
This song gives me comfort as I currently await my return to service with the Navy I have missed so dearly, held up by the ongoing pandemic. I am on the way to be reunited with the camaraderie of my shipmates...
i just watched the movie "1917" an absolute masterpiece of suspense, action, and drama, this song absolutely set the feeling for the end of the movie
A lullaby of yesterday with a winged voice... thanks.
Whenever I think of American Folk, this song is the first thing that comes to mind. So haunting yet so good.
Why would 2 people dislike this? It's a great song, a great singer, and if you don't like it you can leave and find different music. It's not as if it offends anyone.
Thank you for giving me 4:21 of respite in stressful, hard times. All my troubles melt away at the first note, all that’s left is a moment of pure peace :)
I have almost never had this emotional engagement with a song like this. Truly incredible. You have a natural gift that superseeds all. This is invaluably beautiful.
Thank you so much!
Her voice sounds like it came straight from heaven
I would want to report that there is a angel on my screen thank u. 👏👏👏👏👏
I believe you have covered the song the best.
Can say by all means the best i have ever heard.
Please keep covering more. The more you sing, the more we feel comfort in your soft voice.
Beautiful voice, listening on loop a couple times really calms the soul. Can't wait for your next song.
I'm a genrations X soulja...miss Hardy I must compliment you are a sight for sore eyes.
Your voice makes me want to repent for my sins and go to church.
You make Heaven sound so close!
I have listened to this on the preview and many times since (in the last few hours). I still cry. It is now one of my favorite all time songs. It isn't just your voice, which is so perfect for this genre of haunting music, but your facial expressions also.
This is an enchanting version of this song. Keeping the backing track soft so it sounds like your voice is floating on top of it is a great choice. A+!
A voice and the beauty of a true angel. Can't wait to listen to more of your songs. Such a calming voice, perfect to keep on listening to in the background on a hectic work-day.
I first heard this song in church probably 8 years or so ago, started listening to more of your songs because of your simple yet beautiful rendition of Scarborough Fair.. didn't recognize this song til the words “im going there”
and wow, I do love the way you understate everything.. in a world of showoffs, you keep it more simple and thats a beauty of its own!
My mother passed away recently, and I’ve only been able to listen to this in the past few days. It gets easier!
Thoughts are with you
hauntingly beautiful version and the way life is when we have the courage get rid of all our distractions Two hundred years ago Wordsworth complained the world is too much with us...
Wow!! This is already a powerful song. With your voice, it's gonna be phenomenal!!
As lovely as ever! Maybe it's that your tone and register are just in that perfect range to melt my mind or something, but I consistently find I listen to your songs and voice more than the originals you cover. Just pure excellence!
This was enchanting
Whoa! Brought tears to my eyes! Lovely voice, beautiful rendition. Thanks!
Delightful young woman and one of the best singers on earth. I just wish there was more of you. Eat up dear. 🥰
This cover made me want to watch 1917, beautiful song and the voice is so magical, I cant imagine any other version being this brilliant, including the original
Don't listen to the lyrics, don't listen to the lyrics... and I'm crying.
Breath taking, soul soothing, simply sublime singing.
Like always, beautiful songs that touches one's soul. Thank you for these songs. More so in times of so much turmoil.
Perfect. Absolutely perfect.
Wow, beautifully sung sent me right into tears.
My grandfather on his deathbed said I’m going to see my mother, she’s waiting for me. I’m going over home. And that moment died, peacefully.
A beautiful voice, in troubling times. Thank you Rachel.
Wow I am speechless. This song makes me wanna cry because you sing it so beautifully
Absolutely incredible, angelic voice. I could listen to this forever
Soooooo beautiful. Soooooo peaceful. Wow. This cover is amazing.
Thank you and thank you, for both of you.
Rachel, you just made my day a whole lot better, thank you
The voice off a angel....
This song brings such beautiful peace. Your voice did this so much justice, golden fields lie just before me
There are no words. Thank you miss Hardy for choosing this song. It's beautiful in so many ways. Thank you.
I haven't watched the movie but this singing is just so beautiful. Tears come out of my eyes and I can't stop them.
Your voice is one of the few things that can make me cry consistently. This song, just... Wow. Keep up your work. It's beautiful.
TH-cam recommendations finally paid off for once. Malukah got me here. Your voice is amazing.
I love Malukah! Glad to see you here!
Love her voice. Just amazing.
The voice of an angel.
Never heard this song in such an unspectacular way in such deep, touching, decided way. Goes deeper than any other version i've ever heard.
Thank you for sharing your gift. Ive been learning this on the clawhammer banjo - your voice and emotion brought this to a whole different place!
Definitely a song that runs your thoughts....Shame didn't find your channel earlier....And nice that you have your songs on Spotify too....
Truthfully, addicted to your voice....listening to your old ones too....thank you
So powerful of a song with an amazing singer on it too... wow
I could feel all the strong emotions... magnificent performance.. wow.
As always, this angel's voice is balm for the soul.
I can't think of anything to say except WOW! Your voice on this cover was angelic. This is by far the most beautiful version of this song i've heard yet. Keep up the great work!!!
This sweetness in the voice, with such calm music, it gave me chills.
Thank you for this channel that I discovered a few months ago via the recommendations and that I listen to over time
You have the most stunning voice I have ever heard! You really made me cry because I can feel the emotion in your voice
Why in the world would you give this a thumbs down!? Jealousy maybe? Accident? Just to be first? I really can't understand. It's like you don't like your ears feeling like they've just eaten ear candy.
Beautiful and pure voice. Thank you.
This put a lump in my throat not gonna lie. What a beautiful song.
You sing like an angel. Thank you for sharing your passion and love.
BEAUTIFULLY THANK YOU
Rachel, thank you so much for sharing your voice and music. As of late it has fit everything I've been going through. So beautiful and sublime.
Is not just the song and the voice.. is the spirit and magic that she has. Greetings from León, Mexico
IMO the best rendition of this song i have ever heard.
both haunting and comforting. like a fog the morning after a horrible battle rolling over and concealing the terrors of the day before.
OMG Rachel...you sing beyond the angels. I heard every word and I felt the song overwhelm me in a moment that speaks for all time. Thank you so much for your talent and willingness to share it.
What an incredibly beautiful voice! Thank you for sharing this.
My God I can't believe how incredible you sound. Thank you so much
Wonderful. Just wonderful.
Nothing else to say.
can't decide whether the movie soundtrack version or this cover is more beautiful
Another fantastic song, so far subscribing to your channel has been the best decision I've made in 2020. I can't start or stop my day without hearing you sing. Lights up my life. Thanks for all you do. Heavenly voice, I can't get enough.
I love her voice !!!
Absolutely fantastic. Well done!
just WOW perfect singing with angelic voice
I've had this on a loop for the last two days. Really beautiful and haunting work. Thank you for sharing your voice.
Beautiful ... what else is there to say. Thank you, Rachel.
This is hauntingly beautiful. Thank you.
Beautiful. Just beautiful. Again a great work from you Rachel.
It's my first time to hear this song. I never heard it before. So meaningful and so sweet!
This song, and your voice, are so beautiful. Not only does the music get to me, but I believe in the message of the song, that there is life after death where we will once again be reunited with our family and our Heavenly Father. The line "I am a poor wayfaring stranger" really makes me think of the hymn "A Poor Wayfaring Man of Grief," one of my favorites. Thank you for making this video; I'm crying tears of peace and joy right now.
Oh, wow, now I have two fav versions of this song - Ashley Johnson and Troy Baker's TLOUp2 version and this one. Incredible voice!
