This song is my favorite Nightwish cover (of Gary Moore's song), an amazing job you've done covering this song as well. I look forward to what comes next! (edited to give proper credit, Thanks Rictus for correcting who's song it is originally)
Heyhoo. This is only Gary Moore's song! Not Nightwish's. Nightwish only covered it themselves. I like their version very much but they did nothing to earn credits for this great song. All honors to Gary Moore! Your version is ok, but it lacks drive and power. Sorry, but as a fan of Gary Moore for more than 30 years - it doesn't convince me
I love that she has so much fun with her performance. Her enthusiasm is infectious! These guys should officially form a band. They'd definitely gain a following.

I'm still coming back to this video after two years. It all came together here you know. It's enriched by your explanation of the instrument and what you love about it. Thank you Patty.
It's a traditional Irish style riff, so naturally sounds better on more traditional style instruments, like here on the hurdy-gurdy, and also when played on fiddle and uillean pipes, like on the original Gary Moore version.
I've come back & rediscovered this beautiful song & others like it in my binge playing of the mystical folk songs collection & play list I have on you tube here. It is a fun thing to go & listen too & along with the other songs I've collected. In addition this song & others remind me of a long lost time in my growing up as a boy with Irish & other ethnic friends & their families in my junior high years when I was a runaway in my 7th grade year. I miss it & wish I could have it again especially with the truest of those friends one day of Gabriella valnaire a young Irish dancer I used to know who was a singer & gypsy like too.
I never knew what this instrument was called. I've always loved the sound ❤️ And to actually see someone who knows how to play it in today's day and age 👍 Thank you 🙏
Nothing shocking about a hurdy gurdy, Even some people still play the recorder. In, like, orchestras. This is not weird. It is rare enough to get my attention, though. So that might be something. All the love for Patty, her singing and the instrument that she plays so well!
I was a U. S. Marine for 10 years as an infantryman . many times I had to " go over the hill and far away " whether by land or sea and leave my wife and children . it always broke my heart to do it , and your song brings back those times . But I also remember the sweet homecoming and the smiles and kisses it brought . my wife and I are old now , and the children grown and on their on but there are still smiles and kisses when we remember .
@@blastgamers8129 it was an honor to serve and do my small part to keep the world at least partially safe for our small part of it . thank you very much .
I'm at work today talking to a customer about The Witcher 3, specifically the background music, trying to figure out what instrument was used. The customer says "oh, thats a hurdy gurdy", and I say "No. That's not a thing. You're lying." So he pulls up one of your videos and now I've got a new obsession. How have I never heard of this before?
James Klarkowski, I had always heard of "Hurdy Gurdy Grinders" as a kid in the 1950s and thought the old folks were talking about organ grinders like I saw with monkeys at fairs. I worked for Bob Moog when I was in high school and liked unusual instruments, and when I was at college Donovan Leitch came out with "Hurdy Gurdy Man": th-cam.com/video/CHxfOZH8cew/w-d-xo.html I was curious and did some research and have been intrigued ever since, even though I never got my hands on one. I think one of the best explanations of how a Hurdy Gurdy works is here: th-cam.com/video/gYJg9cLk1us/w-d-xo.html
There arises occaisions sometimes in life where upon discovering a thing you feel that your life is more complete and enriched for having found it. This is one of those things. Thank you.
Yes, there is a traditional song 'Over the hills and far away' from the 1700's, but it is a totally different tune and different words. Same as there is a song by Led Zeppelin 'Over the hills and far away' which is totally different. This version is a cover of the Gary Moore song.
For the first tike in my 30years of existence, I came across the sound of this small yet powerful instrument. It mesmerizes me, soothes the very aches of my soul in it's musky voice when it speaks the words only my soul can comprehend. Wow.
@@roadsweeper1 hi roadsweeper! I listened to it and really loved it, which is surprising coz it has a dark twist within the song which is totally not my style 😂 But I actually loved it! Thanks for sharing that!
@@thibni_ your welcome. The hurdy gurdy is a strange instrument. It worked well for the black sails theme. It's how I originally heard of a hurdy gurdy.
@@thibni_ well, if you haven't yet and you want to hear something mindblowing (not to say that Patty isn't, but .... well), check out Guilhem Desq. Guy's a damn deranged god on this instrument ...
You should! Just don't bother with a cheap instrument, they aren't really proper instruments, more like expensive props. Kolibri Gurdy is a good place to start, they are only about €5-600
Excellent version: very dark. How the young lass plays that hellish device is beyond me, but she does it very well!😃😃 It’s a grim song, and she sings it with real anger and projection. Well done Patty! Now listen to Isobel Thatcher “Walking Down The Tracks,” another dark and true song.🎸🎸😃😃
@@colinfitzpatrick3389 idk. As much as human history is filled with lies. On almost every topic, period, genre. I my curiosity would cut the rope to go dance w the sirens
Extremely talented well done your an incredible Singer and artist I wish you all the best this one is one of my favorite never get tired of listening to this thanks for doing these and sharing them with us all
Patty is fantastic. She may be modern German, but in the romantic part of my heart she is 18th century Scottish or Irish. The music and images in her videos are some of the most beautiful ever recorded.
Well, England was formed by Germanic tribes Angle Saxons. Plus Celtic tribes and Germanic tribes lived next to each other as well. Plus let's not forget about the Vikings as well.
Omg same here! It recommended me "Oonagh" and i loved because i'm a Tolkien fan (you shoul try it, it's mindblowing)😍😍😍 and next this!? I'm almost in shock 😃
This is chilling. The moment you started to sing I got goosebumps and once you started to play the Hurdy Gurdy? Stunning! Keep up the amazing music please!
I came here to see how one actually plays a Hurdy Gurdy. I had only ever heard of one and seen (poor) animated representations of one in games I play. Now that I have seen it in real-life action, I don't think my life will ever be the same. It really is a spectacular instrument and Patty has shown the skill needed to master it. Thank you very much for sharing this gift with us
This is sublime.. Love it when a song makes all the hairs stand up on your arms. I can see NW doing your version acoustically and wondering why they didn't at first. 😊
I dont know why.. but still your voice nearly brings me to tears... Just absolutely outrageous considering I feel like I can never express my emotions...
Fantastic, loved this song many years ago, and so good to revisit it in such a great version. TH-cam recommendations may be rubbish most of the time but occasionally you get a gem like this.
Oh this is Irish pish. Get it now. Love the British version. Why would these fuckers think us British would let you get away with this. Fuck off and die Ireland. Or as we say over here Scotland's retarder offspring.
As a pianist, I’ve always been jealous of string players for the fullness they can add to individual notes and this seems like the perfect instrument to adapt to so I will not be any longer.
My absolute favorite song . It introduced me to nightwish. And I eventually learned their version was a cover. But honest from an 8-bit to a gurdy cover.. its honestly my absolute favorite song
They came for him one winter's night Arrested, he was bound They said there'd been a robbery, His pistol had been found They marched to the station house, He waited till the dawn And as they led him to the dock, He knew that he'd been wronged "you stand accused of robbery," He heard the bailiff say He knew without an alibi, Tomorrow's light would mourn his freedom Over the hills and far away, For ten long years he'll count the days Over the mountains and blue seas, A prisoner's life for him there'll be He knew that it would cost him dear, But yet he dare not say Where he'd been that fateful night, A secret it must stay He had to fight back tears of rage His heart beat like a drum For with the wife of his best friend, He spent his final night of freedom Over the hills and far away, He swears he will return one day Far from the mountains and blue seas, Back in her arms he swear he'll be Over the hills and far away Over the hills and, Over the hills and, Over the hills and far away Each night within his prison cell, He looks out through the bars He reads the letters that she wrote One day he'll know the taste of freedom Over the hills and far away, She prays he will return one day As sure as the rivers reach the seas, Back in his arms she swears she'll be Over the hills and far away, He swears he will return one day Far from the mountains and blue seas Back in her arms is where he'll be Over the hills and far away, She prays he will return one day As sure as the rivers reach the seas, Back in his arms is where she'll be Over the hills Over the Hills Over the hills and far away Over the hills Over the Hills Over the hills and far away
I took the Lyrics you posted and listened to the song a few times, fixing them as I went along. I'm pretty sure I have them all correct if you're wanting to post these in your post. Up to you. :) They came for him one winter's night Arrested, he was bound They said there'd been a robbery, His pistol had been found They marched him to the station house, He waited till the dawn And as they led him to the dock, He knew that he'd been wronged "you stand accused of robbery," He heard the bailiff say He knew without an alibi, Tomorrow's light would mourn his freedom Over the hills and far away, For ten long years he'll count the days Over the mountains and blue seas, A prisoner's life for him there'll be He knew that it would cost him dear, But yet he dare not say Just where he'd been that fateful night, A secret it must stay He had to fight back tears of rage His heart beat like a drum For with the wife of his best friend, He spent his final night of freedom Over the hills and far away, He swears he will return one day Far from the mountains and blue seas, Back in her arms again he'll be Over the hills and, Over the hills and, Over the hills and, Over the hills and, Over the hills and, Over the hills and, Over the hills and far away Each night within his prison cell, He looks out through the bars He reads the letters that she wrote One day he'll know the taste of freedom Over the hills and far away, She prays he will return one day As sure as the rivers reach the seas, Back in his arms again she'll be Over the hills and far away, He swears he will return one day As sure as the rivers reach the seas Back in his arms is where she'll be Over the hills and, Over the hills and, Over the hills and, Over the hills and, Over the hills and, Over the hills and, Over the hills and far away
One of my favorite songs ... I remember the first time I heard the version by Gary Moore it was absolutely amazing. I love your performance here you nailed everything nicely. Love you videos.
Keep coming back over and over again. Great tune with amazing voice. The tempo changes fast, slow you feel like you took a trip far over some awsome mountains up down and all around.
Was für eine Wahnsinnsversion. Ich habe Gary Moore in dem Releasejahr live gesehen und schon damals lief es mir kalt runter. An meinem 20. haben wir den Song rauf und runter gehört. Und dann brannte die Hütte, in der wir schliefen, in dieser Nacht ab. Von daher: Always remember!
@@Dave.Mustaine.Is.Genius That would be Gary Moore, back in 1987.There are other songs with the same title, but they are totally different songs altogether.
Rough translation for all you english lads out there. "Love Patty, her music is so beautiful and wonderful, good luck with the album! (everything after the ; is a super rough translation)
@@pandaman3367 That's actually not quite right. "Liebe" at the beginning is something more like "dear" in this context. More accurately, it's "Dear Patty, your music is so touching and wonderful, I'm very excited for your album!"
I remember the day, years ago I was listening to this on Christmas night. Put me in the perfect mood for the occasion. It's just unrelenting. Amazing and insanely unnoticed talent.
_This is a catchy song hurray!_ _It will stay in your head all day!_ Edit: _This song is catchy ay-oh-ay!_ _It will stay in your head all day!_ _This song plays in your head all day!_ _You cannot make it go away!_ Edit 3: My gosh, I don't think I've ever replayed a single song so much in a day, and I've heard some incredibly good and catchy music too!
Here is the lyrics... They came for him one winter's night Arrested, he was bound They said there'd been a robbery His pistol has been round They marched to the station house, He waited for the dawn And as they led him to the dock, He knew that he'd been wronged "You stand accused of robbery" He heard the bailiff say He knew without an alibi, Tomorrow's light would mourn his freedom Over the hills and far away, For ten long years he'll count the days Over the mountains and blue seas A prisoner's life for him there'll be He knew that it that it would cost him dear, But yet he date not say Where he'd been that fateful night, A secret it must stay He had to fight back tears of rage His heart beat like a drum For with the wife of his best friend, He spent his final night of freedom Over the hills and far away, He swears he will return one day Far from the mountains and blue seas, Back in her arms he swear he'll be Over the hills and far away Over the hills and, Over the hills and, Over the hills and far away Each night within his prison cell, He looks out through the bars He reads the letters that she wrote One day he'll know the taste of freedom Over the hills and far away, She prays he will return one day As sure as the rivers reach the seas, Back in his arms she swears she'll be Over the hills and far away He swears he will return one day Far from the mountains and blue seas Back in her arms is where he'll be Over the hills and far away She prays he will return one day As sure as the rivers reach the seas, Back in his arms is where she'll be Over the hills over the hills Over the hills and far away Over the hills over the hills Over the the hills and far away.
I keep listening to this, trying to nail the solos on harmonica. I've got the chorus and verse more or less, and even a bit of the second solo, but overall, this is still kicking my butt.
I must admit one thing - i was so dazed at Your person and this extraordinary makeup - that i had to run this video in the background to fully appreciate the music.
>Be me >get to chorus >break into song: >"O'er the hills and o'er the main, through Flanders, Portugal and Spain! King George commands and we obe-... Oh. Oh, okay, different song...
I love this song so much, and this cover is something special. I never expected to hear the solo played on a hurdy gurdy, and you did not disappoint. This was beautiful.
Heyhoo! This song was requested by my PATREON SUPPORTERS!
They chose wisely, you gave this song a great performance :)
Have your heard of the game "Sea of Thieves"? The characters have a hurdy gurdy among onther instruments and thee music is beloved by many players, maybe you want to cover the songs or create a medley? ^^
will there be an instrumental version of this cover???
Loved it. Seeing Nightwish in Las Vegas next month. Just bought your EP.
This song is my favorite Nightwish cover (of Gary Moore's song), an amazing job you've done covering this song as well. I look forward to what comes next! (edited to give proper credit, Thanks Rictus for correcting who's song it is originally)
Heyhoo. This is only Gary Moore's song! Not Nightwish's. Nightwish only covered it themselves. I like their version very much but they did nothing to earn credits for this great song. All honors to Gary Moore!
Your version is ok, but it lacks drive and power. Sorry, but as a fan of Gary Moore for more than 30 years - it doesn't convince me
So gifted girl. This version of song is truly amazing. I hope for Eurovision 2023 for her.
If she does i'm voting for her! Belgium never has any good stuff
Не надо ей в этот гадюшник. После травести пидара в финале - я хочу видеть Пэтти в других местах.
I love that she has so much fun with her performance. Her enthusiasm is infectious! These guys should officially form a band. They'd definitely gain a following.
Incredible voice, musical talent, and beauty. Patty G should be a world-wide name by now.
LYRICS:
They came for him one winter's night
Arrested, he was bound
They said, "there'd been a robbery"
His pistol had been found
They marched him to the station house
He waited 'til the dawn
And as they led him to the dock
He knew that he'd been wronged
"You stand accused of robbery"
He heard the bailiff say
He knew without an alibi
Tomorrow's light would mourn his freedom
Over the hills and far away
For ten long years, he'll count the days
Over the mountains and blue seas
A prisoner's life for him, there'll be
He knew that it (would cost him dear)
But, yet he dare not say
Just where he'd been (that fateful night)
A secret it must stay
He had to fight back tears of rage
His heart beat like a drum
For with the wife of his best friend
He spent his final night of freedom
Over the hills and far away
He swears he will return one day
Far from the mountains and blue seas
Back in her arms, again he'll be
Over the hills, and over the hills
And over the hills, and over the hills
And over the hills, and over the hills
And over the hills and far away
Each night within his prison cell
He looks out through the bars
He reads the letters that she wrote
One day he'll know the taste of freedom
Over the hills and far away
She prays he will return one day
As sure as the rivers reach the seas
Back in his arms again, she'll be
Over the hills and far away
He swears he will return one day
As sure as the rivers reach the seas
Back in his arms is where she'll be
Over the hills, and over the hills
And over the hills, and over the hills
And over the hills, and over the hills
And over the hills and far away
I'm still coming back to this video after two years. It all came together here you know. It's enriched by your explanation of the instrument and what you love about it. Thank you Patty.

There is more talent in this incredible song than what is played on current music stations in The States. Love it Patty.
One of my Favorite Gary Moore songs Performed by one the most Beatueful and sweet woman on Earth, Thank you patty and Bless you Magnificent one.
Holy cow, what she does with that Hurdy Gurdy is marvelous. Makes me wonder whether I should get one to learn how to play it.
You should! Just don't bother with a cheap instrument, they aren't really proper instruments, more like expensive props. Kolibri Gurdy is a good place to start, they are only about €5-600
Just found this artist and I can't get enough of the hurdy gurdy or her voice.
Same!
You should do a cover of The Highwayman by Loreena Mckennit, it'd be a perfect song for you and your hurdy gurdy.

james fry Yknow its not a nightwish song, right?
yes i do know that im not even sure how old the song is i think its a very old folk song
Nightwish did this song better then the original.
Hero Support Won't argue, though I feel both have their charms. But that does not make it a nightwish song.
never made any claim its a Nightwish song It is my favorite version of it.

Hi. I heard this song on the radio today in my car. It was on 101.9 FM Poplar Bluff, Missouri USA. Congrats. It sounded wonderful.
@@КтулхуФхтагн-к4я I look forward to it!
Oh this is Irish pish. Get it now. Love the British version. Why would these fuckers think us British would let you get away with this. Fuck off and die Ireland. Or as we say over here Scotland's retarder offspring.
@@almac-pj3oc Patty Gurdy is an artist's nickname, she is German.
The instrument Patty is playing is called a Hurdy Gurdy. She actually is playing a customized model. Such an awesome sound!
Hehe Hurdy Gurdy.
A beautiful young lady singing one of Gary Moore’s best songs
Can't stop listening to this! just amazing
Omg
Same here
Me to, loving it
I cant stop listening to you.. I am so in love ;)
Same, it's just beautiful!
Diese stimme einfach Mega jedesmal wiedee Gänsehaut pur... Ich liebe diese Stimme
I"ve never seen an instrument like this before.The music was awesome.
Wolvalk its a hurdy gurdy
Its called hurdy gurdy its a Instrument Form.medival times.. Its not often played anymore
OK. As a great Nightwish-fan and a Patty Gurdy-fan aswell I say: Wow! Very well done.
nightwish covered this song, gary moore wrote it back in the 80s.
@@Taterzz and did it better than anyone!
I hope you're a Garry Moore fan as well. It's his song.
As a pianist, I’ve always been jealous of string players for the fullness they can add to individual notes and this seems like the perfect instrument to adapt to so I will not be any longer.
You need to also check out the harpejji by Marcodi. It's like an electric guitar played like a piano.
My absolute favorite song . It introduced me to nightwish. And I eventually learned their version was a cover. But honest from an 8-bit to a gurdy cover.. its honestly my absolute favorite song
They came for him one winter's night
Arrested, he was bound
They said there'd been a robbery,
His pistol had been found
They marched to the station house,
He waited till the dawn
And as they led him to the dock,
He knew that he'd been wronged
"you stand accused of robbery,"
He heard the bailiff say
He knew without an alibi,
Tomorrow's light would mourn his freedom
Over the hills and far away,
For ten long years he'll count the days
Over the mountains and blue seas,
A prisoner's life for him there'll be
He knew that it would cost him dear,
But yet he dare not say
Where he'd been that fateful night,
A secret it must stay
He had to fight back tears of rage
His heart beat like a drum
For with the wife of his best friend,
He spent his final night of freedom
Over the hills and far away,
He swears he will return one day
Far from the mountains and blue seas,
Back in her arms he swear he'll be
Over the hills and far away
Over the hills and,
Over the hills and,
Over the hills and far away
Each night within his prison cell,
He looks out through the bars
He reads the letters that she wrote
One day he'll know the taste of freedom
Over the hills and far away,
She prays he will return one day
As sure as the rivers reach the seas,
Back in his arms she swears she'll be
Over the hills and far away,
He swears he will return one day
Far from the mountains and blue seas
Back in her arms is where he'll be
Over the hills and far away,
She prays he will return one day
As sure as the rivers reach the seas,
Back in his arms is where she'll be
Over the hills Over the Hills
Over the hills and far away
Over the hills Over the Hills
Over the hills and far away
Bruna BB thanks!
Bruna BB well done!
Closer than most lyrics, off tho a couple times ;)
I took the Lyrics you posted and listened to the song a few times, fixing them as I went along. I'm pretty sure I have them all correct if you're wanting to post these in your post. Up to you. :)

Just where he'd been that fateful night,
A secret it must stay
He had to fight back tears of rage
His heart beat like a drum
For with the wife of his best friend,
He spent his final night of freedom
Over the hills and far away,
He swears he will return one day
Far from the mountains and blue seas,
Back in her arms again he'll be
Over the hills and,

yeah we can hear ju7st fine
I just love it ! The mix of traditional and modern music is magic
WoW!!! What nice, this modern performance with such an ancient instrument as the hurdy gurdy ! Thanks, very nice!
Such an amazing voice
One of my favorite songs ... I remember the first time I heard the version by Gary Moore it was absolutely amazing. I love your performance here you nailed everything nicely. Love you videos.
Keep coming back over and over again. Great tune with amazing voice. The tempo changes fast, slow you feel like you took a trip far over some awsome mountains up down and all around.
A magic voice. Can't throw this song out of my mind
The song have more the 30 years..but she did a very nice version.
Was für eine Wahnsinnsversion. Ich habe Gary Moore in dem Releasejahr live gesehen und schon damals lief es mir kalt runter. An meinem 20. haben wir den Song rauf und runter gehört. Und dann brannte die Hütte, in der wir schliefen, in dieser Nacht ab. Von daher: Always remember!
Oh Patty you are the voice of the wind, nature breathes as you sing. Keep singing sweet red. Sing on J.
Omg you would be understand me you would I really 🤔
Tolle Interpretation des Songs. Deine Stimme ist wunderschön und die Hurdy Gurdy passt super dazu - bin auf das neue Album gespannt 😊👍
es ist ein sehr cooles Lied und das Wort for Hurdy-Gurdy ist die Drehleier, wenn du wissen willst :)
Could you imagine how awesome this would sound it Troy was playing the Uilleann pipes along with Patty on the gurdy???
I love this song, year after year it's still so good.
Your music is wonderful! A Hurdy-Gurdy player is not just an old crank!
I never thought I would be able to enjoy this song without the drum battery from the Gary Moore version, but I was incorrect. This is awesome!
Gary Moore was so great musician, who can write such moving song like this.
Excellent thanks 😊 👍 🇬🇧 uk
Brilliant version so beautiful. RIP Gary Moore.
There is still beauty in this world, we just need to find it and choose to see it.
Patty is so wunderbar, I‘m a metal head but I love her songs
Agreed, the band shes in isnt half bad.
A fantastic version of a song I've loved since it came out.
what is the trve versiion to it?
@@Dave.Mustaine.Is.Genius That would be Gary Moore, back in 1987.There are other songs with the same title, but they are totally different songs altogether.
For some reason this song makes me think of the blue ridge mountains where i live, great song
Liebe Patty, deine Musik ist so berührend und wunderschön; ich freue mich sehr auf dein Album!
Rough translation for all you english lads out there.
"Love Patty, her music is so beautiful and wonderful, good luck with the album!
(everything after the ; is a super rough translation)
@@pandaman3367 That's actually not quite right. "Liebe" at the beginning is something more like "dear" in this context. More accurately, it's "Dear Patty, your music is so touching and wonderful, I'm very excited for your album!"
@@SquireThomas Okay, been a while, thanks! lol
( It's deer patty your music is so touching and beautiful I'm really looking forward to your album ) that's what it is UwU
RIP Gary your music lives on
Yes, I´m agree. Nightwish and this beautiful lady, keep the Gary Moore´s legacy.
Patty is a mix of talent, beauty and " aura" of lovely " bad girl". I like this mix.
I came across your channel by chance, and I'm just floored.
You inspire me to take up singing again. Thank you! Much love from western Kentucky USA!
That was awesome. That song sticks with ya, in a good way. Wow. Your beautiful too.
I've been waiting forever for a new song from you, and I'm not disappointed! It's fantastic!
I remember the day, years ago I was listening to this on Christmas night. Put me in the perfect mood for the occasion. It's just unrelenting. Amazing and insanely unnoticed talent.
You have such humble beauty, fell in love in your music at the first time I've heard it,
_This is a catchy song hurray!_
_It will stay in your head all day!_
Edit:
_This song is catchy ay-oh-ay!_
_It will stay in your head all day!_
_This song plays in your head all day!_
_You cannot make it go away!_
Edit 3:
My gosh, I don't think I've ever replayed a single song so much in a day, and I've heard some incredibly good and catchy music too!
Here is the lyrics...
They came for him one winter's night
Arrested, he was bound
They said there'd been a robbery
His pistol has been round
They marched to the station house,
He waited for the dawn
And as they led him to the dock,
He knew that he'd been wronged
"You stand accused of robbery"
He heard the bailiff say
He knew without an alibi,
Tomorrow's light would mourn his freedom
Over the hills and far away,
For ten long years he'll count the days
Over the mountains and blue seas
A prisoner's life for him there'll be
He knew that it that it would cost him dear,
But yet he date not say
Where he'd been that fateful night,
A secret it must stay
He had to fight back tears of rage
His heart beat like a drum
For with the wife of his best friend,
He spent his final night of freedom
Over the hills and far away,
He swears he will return one day
Far from the mountains and blue seas,
Back in her arms he swear he'll be
Over the hills and far away
Over the hills and,
Over the hills and,
Over the hills and far away
Each night within his prison cell,
He looks out through the bars
He reads the letters that she wrote
One day he'll know the taste of freedom
Over the hills and far away,
She prays he will return one day
As sure as the rivers reach the seas,
Back in his arms she swears she'll be
Over the hills and far away
He swears he will return one day
Far from the mountains and blue seas
Back in her arms is where he'll be
Over the hills and far away
She prays he will return one day
As sure as the rivers reach the seas,
Back in his arms is where she'll be
Over the hills over the hills
Over the hills and far away
Over the hills over the hills
Over the the hills and far away.
I had that cello line running in my head over and over.
I like how the moral of this story is if you catch your wife cheating on you with your friend frame them for a crime
Better yet, "Don't cheat on your best friend with his wife."
@@Thomas.Wright cause if you do he just might get you locked up for a long ass time
I see I'm not the only one that thought it was a set up lol
Not quite as dark as The Long Black Veil, a classic Jonny Cash song, but dark enough.
Or maybe the moral is just don't get caught.
I keep listening to this, trying to nail the solos on harmonica. I've got the chorus and verse more or less, and even a bit of the second solo, but overall, this is still kicking my butt.
I'd love to hear that bud! :)
Ich habe Patty aboniert, zwar wegen Over the Hills, jedoch irgendwann finde ich einmal die Zeit um mir Ihre gesamten Songs anzuhören.
Wie wärs mit jetzt?
Was stringed by your beauty but that instrument captureded my heart, much love and may the gods bless your future endevours.
I must admit one thing - i was so dazed at Your person and this extraordinary makeup - that i had to run this video in the background to fully appreciate the music.
Huh yet again recommended videos has brought me to a part of youtube I didn't know existed.
Same here
Shes amazing. Look up yoshida brothers for a new school twist on old Japanese music
I know right amazing what the algorithms show.
Please allow me to nudge y'all towards Playing for Change, I discovered them via algorithm in 2011.
WOW! That was fantastic. Thank you random TH-cam algorithm. You finally led me to a video I actually WANT to see.
Thanks for this moment, for the your magic voice, for the travel into a Celtic World, for the hypnotic sound of your instrument... thanks
>Be me
>get to chorus
>break into song:
>"O'er the hills and o'er the main, through Flanders, Portugal and Spain! King George commands and we obe-... Oh. Oh, okay, different song...
Came here for historical folk, got a re-written version of "Long Black Veil"
masterpiece
I feel you, I so thought it was that one XD
Sean bean
I came expecting Led Zeppelin
Beautiful song, beautiful lady and a beautiful personality. Would love to hear a concert in person.
I love this song so much, and this cover is something special. I never expected to hear the solo played on a hurdy gurdy, and you did not disappoint. This was beautiful.
Patty You have a amazing voice.t his song you perform is magic
