Edelweiss, Edelweiss Every morning you greet me Small and white clean and bright You look happy to meet me Blossom of snow may you bloom and grow Bloom and grow forever Edelweiss,Edelweiss Bless my homeland forever.
I appreciate this cover SO MUCH. I love The Sound of Music but my voice is much more of this style than it is musical theatre/vibrato. I've been searching for a version of this song that was a little more indie and I finally found it! Bloom and grow, forever♥
I know this sounds really weird, but I love to name one of my future children Edelweiss. I think it's such a beautiful name but anyone I tell about it thinks it's so strange. But, it had a built in song with it and it's such a beautiful way to show my heritage.
You could always do something slightly different. Adelise maybe. You know the name's origin and meaning. :) People could call her 'lise or Adel for short.
My grandfather used to sing this song to me a lot, & since I’m part Austrian it meant a lot to him. During WWII he shot a Nazi who demanded he fight for Hitler, & was sent to a concentration camp. He said that when he grew up in the Austrian mountains, they were beautiful, with fields of edelweiss’s right outside his door, & as long as he sang the song he always remembered home. He said that if I ever felt sad or lost , i should just sing this song...and think of home too. But he recently died
I'm nine on mum's phone. My mum would pick songs for here kids. This was my sister's who sadly past away before I got to see here. Now she's in heaven with everybody else.
She isn't trying to make it depressing, she is just doing it in a rendition that speaks most to her... I think it is beautiful. Life is also very hectic and crazy, so lets just enjoy the peacefulness, non depressing, characteristics of this song :)
This song is probably the most beautiful evocation of the love for one's home ground I have ever heard. My heart goes out to every person who cannot claim some part of this wonderful world as his true home.
my mother sang me to sleep with this, and i sing my daughter to sleep with it now, love this rendition but when im feeling up to it i use the scale of the original.
@Miranda9VM this is probably the most heartbreaking comment on here; i'm austrian-born as well, working & living in the US for a couple of years now; our family histories are full of stories like your grandfather's, we're connected to our country for life, no matter how far we're away. i first watched "the sound of music" over here, because nobody back home knows it, & at this song i just burst out in tears; I know exactly what your grandpa felt. I hope you're doing well, God bless
In my opinion, this is the closest and best adaption of this song. Edelweiss always has and always will have a special place in my heart. I can't explain it, but it evokes such emotion in me.
Same here. when I was little, we used to go and visit my great-uncle Adolf in Argentina. He loved this song, but said that things in the war just did not go right and all he had was his memories of the boyhood in the Austrian Alps because for some reason he could never go back...
my dad used to sing me this song after a bath before i went to bed whenever he was home (he was gone a lot) n my sister n i would always jokingly say NOO not that song again! i hope he knows that we didn't mean it n its one of my favorite memories. I love you dad n miss you
Yes, I know. After WWII My grandfather went travelling around Europe a lot, he heard the song when the film came out in 1959 and always sang it. Mostly, because it reminded him of Austria, and he missed Austria, his home. When he grew much older he sung it to his granddaughter, aka...me :') He never returned to Austria...
My wife sings this song for my 2 year old son to fall asleep to. I play this on my phone for him When I'm putting him to bed since I can't sing like my wife.
Absolutely amazing! Your voice is just perfect and this style you sing it with suits you in every single way! I hope you go far in life and pursue music. :)
I have always loved this song. My mom would always sing this song to me when i was sad but instead of edelwiess, she would sing avalwiess. She would tell me to remember this song if i ever got sad and lonely. Now i sing it to my baby girl and tell her the same thing but i sing ellawiess.
could you sing the winner takes it all acoustic cover please please. I listened to all the existing ones and none of them (incl. the original by abba) really catches the essence.
@Thefadingrain My hair goes like that if I wash it, put a tiny bit of mousse in, wrap it up and then sleep like that. In the morning I shake the twists out and then using my fingers which I've run under the tap, I 'shake' the hair and slightly dampen it. Looks great if it's mussed up a little. Just experiment - everybody's hair is different and I often wish mine was poker-straight, but then friends wish they had waves. (^ ^)
I thought the song was not actually a Austrian folk song, that it was written for "The Sound of Music", did people in Austria adopt it after the movie came out?
That top comment sounds wonderful, however, Edelweiss isn't an Austrian folk song. It's a false myth that it is. Edelweiss is actually a song written and composed in 1959 for The Sound of Music. Unless your grandfather started singing the song after the production of the Sound of Music, I don't see how this could be true.
Her voice is so hauntingly beautiful
Edelweiss, Edelweiss
Every morning you greet me
Small and white clean and bright
You look happy to meet me
Blossom of snow may you bloom and grow
Bloom and grow forever
Edelweiss,Edelweiss
Bless my homeland forever.
sniperchic95 :))
To meeeee
To meeeeee!
This song is so peaceful and calm. I love it. I picture a mother singing this to her small child. :)
I will walk down the aisle to this one day for my wedding.:)
same
It's so beautiful, simple ..one of the most perfect songs ever written
heheh dont. check the lyrics and history of it first 😢
Her voice is the sound equivalent of either a) running your hands under soft sink water or b) things with rounded corners
Love her voice, so sweet, is like be falling like a leaf in a soft wind
I appreciate this cover SO MUCH. I love The Sound of Music but my voice is much more of this style than it is musical theatre/vibrato. I've been searching for a version of this song that was a little more indie and I finally found it! Bloom and grow, forever♥
Una de las canciones mas hermosas que he escuchado

This brings tears to my eyes my mom used to sing this to me when I was a baby. I remember every word to it by heart
this song is absolutely beautiful! definitely a classic favorite!
This is one of the most beautiful renditions I have heard.
I'm nine on mum's phone. My mum would pick songs for here kids. This was my sister's who sadly past away before I got to see here. Now she's in heaven with everybody else.
my mum used to sing me this song when i was little to help me sleep...now i listen to it on youtube and it puts me to sleep still. (:
She isn't trying to make it depressing, she is just doing it in a rendition that speaks most to her... I think it is beautiful. Life is also very hectic and crazy, so lets just enjoy the peacefulness, non depressing, characteristics of this song :)

What an awesome rendition. This girl has a gift in her voice. She is a natural for Schlager.
I have never had a song lyrically punch me in the heart like this cover has.
Favorite song + favorite band = epicness
Perfect rendition - just spectacular
I've listened to this at least 50 times. Beautifully sung.
my mother sang me to sleep with this, and i sing my daughter to sleep with it now, love this rendition but when im feeling up to it i use the scale of the original.
Beautiful rendition.

I always think of this song at the silliest times of the day...
Same here. when I was little, we used to go and visit my great-uncle Adolf in Argentina. He loved this song, but said that things in the war just did not go right and all he had was his memories of the boyhood in the Austrian Alps because for some reason he could never go back...
Best version ever!!!
my dad used to sing me this song after a bath before i went to bed whenever he was home (he was gone a lot) n my sister n i would always jokingly say NOO not that song again! i hope he knows that we didn't mean it n its one of my favorite memories. I love you dad n miss you
