In a world where much of our time is spent listening to unwanted sounds, few songs and even fewer voices truly stand out as original. This is one of them.
From the very first time I heard this haunting song on "Wallander", I've never forgotten it's melodic fusion of folk, chamer and ballad perfection! So glad I've found this group of talented musicians with Emily Baker's vocals; simply perfect~
This cute little song should be much mightier in the "millions of views"......support Emily Barker's music...BUY IT!!...she's well worthy of folk reaching deep into their pockets...imagine many more songs from her...artists need to be paid just like everyone else. THIS SONG IS SUPERB.
Great song. Someone gave me a copy of the 'Despite the Snow' album a few years ago. I saw her sing it in a tiny village hall in the North Yorkshire Moors in November 2017. Wonderful. Never watched Wallander. Well, not until the other night, when I only managed to stay awake for the first half hour of the episode about a birdwatcher and orchid collector going missing! No reflection on the quality of the programme; more a reflection on a mentally exhausting week. I will try to watch another episode soon!
I have just watched the first three seasons of wallander. Forgot about how good an actor sir kenneth brannagh is. The depth and emotion he has brought to the part is outstanding. Never seen the sweedish version. Great theme song too xx
Stunning voice,so natural,without effects or vocal acrobatics and,so hard to find nowadays! Thanks to Wallander (Kenneth Branagh version), which I’ve just started watching on Netflix,I’ve discovered her wonderful music 🙏🏻👏👏👏👏
When listening to this song, a thought occured to me. When you're 12,000 miles away, it doesn't matter which direction you travel to get there.. At first when hearing Emily Barker singing this song I thought it was our own "Melanie" Safka! :) There voices both light the same flame! .....perhaps you'd be in your 60's to comprehend it...... classical, rock, country and folk...beatiful!
There's a sombre, lonely, plaintive mood to this song, evoked by the exquisite emotion-laden voice of Emily Barker, that strikes right to the heart. Haunting might not be the right word---but this song definitely gets in under the skin. Beautiful. Poetry in song!
I recently did a gig right on the corner where I wrote lots of these lyrics. At the Worker's Club in Melbourne. Was quite surreal to perform the song there.
Hi, Melanie is my first cousin, so perhaps I am biased-but her extraordinary voice and vocal style is indeed an unsung, pardon the pun, influence on so many of the great contemporary female vocalists. On behalf of her I thank you!
I don't find show depressing at all Mandells creation gives us inspiration to push on despite our character flaws and problems to live a worthwhile life Wallender rocks!!
Tram wires cross Melbourne skies Cut my red heart in two My knuckles bleed down Johnston street On a door that shouldn't be in front of me Twelve thousand miles away from your smile I'm twelve thousand miles away from me Standing on the corner of Brunswick Got the rain coming down and mascara on my cheek Oh whisper me words in the shape of a bay Shelter my love from the wind and the rain Crow fly be my alibi And return this fable on your wing Take it far away to where gypsies play Beneath metal stars by the bridge Oh write me a beacon so I know the way Guide my love through night and through day Only the sunset knows my blind desire for the fleeting Only the moon understands the beauty of love When held by a hand like the aura of nostalgia
This song was obviously not initially written for the series, but it was written for Wallander the character. A tragic and lonely man who had so much promise, kind hearted and ends his life with the disease of forgetting... tragic character who desevred better in life.
Wonderful song! Beautiful, haunting, and perfectly executed. Shooting the video of you walking through the rape flowers, matching the opening scene of the first Wallander episode was a great idea. Well done!
Very Nice song! I have it on my IPod!💚love it! I love the Wallander so much that I can not describe it ... I love the show, both in Swedish and english! Krister Henriksson and Kenneth Branagh is Wallander for me forever! Love them!💙💜💗💚❤💓💘👮😱🚓
Just watched a couple episodes of Wallander...and had to look up the beautiful theme... The field of rape...an obvious nod to the first episode's opening scene...awesome song..
Take part in the 'Storm the charts' movement, to get independent musicians like Emily into the charts for a week 27.06 - 4.07.10 , instead of the big labels!!
When I read the first books I immediatley thought of Rolf Lassgard who then wnet on to play the role. I long refused to accept Henriksson as Wallander. I got round to appreciating him later on. Than came Branagh whom I like very much and who does a fine Wallander. The whole production of the series was fantastic except for one thing: the language. As a swedish speaker the British accents irritated the hell out of me. It simply seems wrong...
This song gives Wallander its unique enchanting atmosphere. Perfect.
I agree :)

I always found the Wallaner version stirring. This version makes me cry.

Still the greatest television show I have ever seen.
Try Borgen
Beautiful song. And such a remind of Melbourne where I grew up. Kudos.

Very lovely! I, too, was introduced to her by watching Wallendar. Very happy to hear of her & her group!
Simply BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This makes me want to cry and smile at the same time.

wonderful song,
Anyone know this song from Wallander?
Yip, but she changed it slightly for Wallander.
+The Traveler . I want to know the name of the piece that Ingeborga Dapkūnaitė plays on the chapter "A lesson in love". (Thanks)
Yup.
EDSONPLACCO That's "Melanholiskais valsis" (Melancholic Waltz) by Emīls Dārziņš
The Traveler yeeep
Such an outstanding tune
good folky, like it a bunch
It's so beautiful
Lovely
Tram wires cross Melbourne skies
Cut my red heart in two
My knuckles bleed down Johnston street
On a door that shouldn't be in front of me
Twelve thousand miles away from your smile
I'm twelve thousand miles away from me
Standing on the corner of Brunswick
Got the rain coming down and mascara on my cheek
Oh whisper me words in the shape of a bay
Shelter my love from the wind and the rain
Crow fly be my alibi
And return this fable on your wing
Take it far away to where gypsies play
Beneath metal stars by the bridge
Oh write me a beacon so I know the way
Guide my love through night and through day
Only the sunset knows my blind desire for the fleeting
Only the moon understands the beauty of love
When held by a hand like the aura of nostalgia
yes, me too.

I like this song very much.. Kurt brought me to this page! What's this song's genre?

johnson street brunswick, been there done that...brilliant song,Melbourne is still the centre

Just watched a couple episodes of Wallander...and had to look up the beautiful theme...

Zo mooi !
thank you Emily
Hmmm yes well this song is so very good and made Wallander worth it.
Only heard this today - its gone straight to the top of 'my list' - favourite song *e*v*e*r*
❤❤❤
makes your skin cawl and tingle in the most delicious way :P
Wallander :)
prachtig!
Emily is Australian but don't let that sop you wanting to go to Sweden. I lived there for ten years and regret leaving.
Why do I find all my favorites because of TV shows? IT's embarrassing :)
Ladybug of, Toadie and Ladybug,think this is the best version of the soundtrack from the series" Wallander", Check it out!
Missing him.....
I love this song. Just the last minute where she starts screaming ruins it for me.
gotta agree....that last minute is a struggle....like fingernails scratching a blackboard...perfect theme for Wallander.
xoxo from me to u Emily
she's got something going on here...something good.
Love this song! I'm starting to see a resemblance between Emily Barker and Lindsey Stirling! Hmmmm
Wranglerstar sent me
I got Now 82 which is kind of the a contradiction to the video.
It's sad that you can't appreciate Branagh's Wallander as much as you can Henriksson's. You limit yourself.
Turkey 🇹🇷
Or, the Rolf Lassgard series : recognised as being grittier ...
Nine dislikes for this song?!!!! Do they have hearing problems?
JennyGSS one may say tis....nine crimes

wranglerstar!
wonderful. I wish you weren't married!
This song is truly beautiful but still Wallander is the most depressing show I've ever seen...... :'(
Anyone here bc of Wicca phase springs eternal song 12k MILES AWAY
Thought it was Jewel, glad it's not!
in my opinion,krister henriksson is the one and only wallander.i don't like kenneth branagh very much.
Beautiful song
