my Aunt Lula just passed away, she was 98. She was born on the Hopi reservation in Arizona. After I heard the news I sat down and found this. Thank you.
So very sorry for your loss. Your Aunt Lula will be coming in every now and again to make sure you make the good decisions and know the constant love she has for you.
You know you were meant to find this when you needed it. Pure Love. It will always surround you. Your aunt will always be in your heart and watch over you and guide you.
My father very unexpectedly died earlier this year (January 15). Because he is a Vietnam veteran, I am honoring him by having him buried at Arlington National Cemetery. He sacrificed his life for a country that spit on him when he returned. He lost his first wife over his service. He came home and his father was gravely ill then died not soon afterwards. My father bore the brunt of many things because that is what men of his generation did - silently, without compliant, getting up every day just to do it all over again. i had been struggling to find a piece of music to honor him when we do the internment (there is a long wait). However, now that I have heard this piece, I know it is perfect. His family is from Alabama, and he spoke fondly of his times there. I don't think he would have been ready to be called home had it not been for the pandemic. I will never know what peace there may have been between us, because the wounds of his PTSD are ones I carry. But I know there are three grandchildren who miss him so, and a long line of family and friends who do as well.
I know im randomly asking but does any of you know of a way to log back into an instagram account..? I was stupid forgot my password. I appreciate any tricks you can give me.
I heard this song a while back, and let my girl and my mom know that I would want this to be played and my service if I passed. Tonight I honor my Dad with this same song... I love you, and I thank you. 🤟😞💔
The most moving and touching song about death I've ever listened to. It would be wonderful if it were true that the friends you lost would call you home
My G-d her voice is amazing!! I’m putting Rhiannon in my top ten of my favorite voices. So she’s now up there with Audra McDonald and Barbra Streisand two singers that have moved me to tears at times when I listen to them.
Absolutely and hauntingly beautiful. Love the song, love your interpretation, the voice and the deceptively simple accompaniment, love the cinematography and the symbolism behind it. Thank you, everyone involved in putting this gem together.
This is a high point in modern music. True emotion in every note and word. If we could all live like this song feels, I’m not sure if we’d all be walking around smiling or crying 😂
I've just returned from the scattering of my freinds ashes on the beutifull island of Sherkin off the west coast of Ireland and this song seems it was written especially for him rest in peace Vincent O Sullivan aka vincy rock there calling you home your reunited now with your beloved mam and dad and your best friend Micheal John o Leary may there souls and all the souls of the faithfully departed rest in heavenly peace amen 🙏💓🌹
This reminds me of a few Celtic Scottish or Irish songs and much more. My angel bride Brenda would have hugely loved this. Your music is astounding as it always has been since I found you on Fresh Air with Terri Gross when I lived in Pinetop/Lakeside AZ in the mountains before my angel bride became and angel. Now in Tucson since 2015.
Singing about the ghost of death, a song that represents a universal reality to everything that posses life, what a soulful way to remind us of our ultimate destination through such a haunting expression
As I listen to Rhiannon Giddens, I peacefully recall witnessing the transition of life to death... amongst many people whom I know, who died... some expected, some unexpected. ~ I also feel, oh so deeply... the love I have for each and every human whom I do not know, for ALL people... who are transitioning from life to death at this moment. ~ This song goes deep, to an ancestral human core, a vibration of love... and of the definitive communication of dying person's acceptance of death. ~ I have seen Rhiannon Giddens in person. Through her original tunes and renditions of others, Rhiannon personifies the human experience of ancestors, and yet lives in-the-moment of today... and she expresses it through music, the unequivocal international language. ~ I love her and I love you. And I feel loved. Though we are in deep sadness at times, as our world continues with tribulations, and people dying sooner than others, and some expected and some unexpected... here is an action request: please share music that is meaningful to you. ~ It is likely that someone you do not know will hear it... and may be comforted to know that there is another human in the world, who shares another common thread with them. ~ I share this song with you, for it feels somber, yet peacefully clear, that transition is coming... we just don't know exactly when. When it does, let it proceed like a stream flowing gently downhill. Until then, may peace be with us, in remembrance of our humans who have passed, and may we honor all humans who live today. We all share so many common threads. 🌎 ~ Thank you Rhiannon, for your version of this tune. It welcomed me to vulnerable and to reflect this morning, and to continue my hope for all peoples' experiences to be saturated with loving, yet definitive communication. Peace, Kimberly Ferm
I literally burst into tears listening to this..... I don't know if I can live with this burden we call "life". Everything in this song tells me it is possible but I don't feel strong enough. I wish I was that dying man... soon at peace.
@@juliasharp2857Hey! Thank you so much for finding my message and replying to it in such a supportive way! That's so sweet of you! I've just sent a little contribution to your rescue as a token of my gratitude. 🙂 Happy to see that this thing called "Humanity" does actually also work, sometimes. ;-) Cheers from overseas!
The Week (a UK magazine) alerted me to the album of the same name: after which, I tuned into this video - what a voice, what beauty and control. The album itself is a collection of laments about home and death which critics have said distil the essence of living through Covid-19.
As I've searched for a song to post on a video that acknowledged my sister's birthday, to honor what would have been her sixteenth birthday, I came across this gem. Ms Giddens, your voice..what a healing gift you so graciously share. If it's okay to share in comments..ill post it there... Knew this song was the right one as it raised the hair on the back of my neck and goosebumps. God bless and keep you and yours Wado( thank you)
I watched Vikings season 6 last night.. and then Lagertha's death..ohh how my heart breaks.. and now listening to this beautiful masterpiece. I can imagine this is sung at Lagertha's funeral. Thank you Ms. Rhiannon for sharing this with us!
Wow what a beautiful song. The beginning immediately captivated me. It reminds me of both Bury Me Not On The Lone Prairie and Wayfaring Stranger. I have the last album you did and the one before that too, always amazing. But this song especially feels haunting these days.
Wow!!! Her voice pure as angels, nature, birds in flight! Plus perfect video. I just did a video of crows flying last week, so am taking this one personally. Thank you bless you always beautiful woman and soul.
I need to hear this so beautiful I am reminded of my dear friends who now are my ancestors.I don't believe in the afterlife ,but I would like to think they were called home back in the Earth and the stars to rest. I know every star once was alive. So as I look up at the night sky I remember they were called back to be star dust

May her memory be a blessing 💫
My father died of Covid in March, and I heard this song soon after. I sang it at his funeral, the first time I'd ever sung in public.
jeez; i wouldve crapped myself if i had to sing live
My condolences for your loss.
What a beautiful way to honor your father. I pray you find great comfort in your memories of him.
May ALLAH BLESS HIS SOUL AND MAKE IT EASIER ON YOU!

lovely lady lumps
An excerpt from life as moving as the song.......may you find peace.......
I am so sorry for your loss. What a poignant and beautiful song, it must really hit home. Wishing you peace.
@@MrZimharry Thank you so very much for those kind words. It is greatly appreciated.
@@queenartist157 Thank you for the caring sentiments, Brenda. They are deeply appreciated.
I first heard this while watching the film surrounded, but the video is incredibly powerful Stark and simple
Something utterly wonderful comes our way, you can feel the emotional power and passion coming through that magnificent voice.
Just found her.. will NOT be loading her. Just 💚🤯💚😊💫
I know im randomly asking but does any of you know of a way to log back into an instagram account..?
I was stupid forgot my password. I appreciate any tricks you can give me.
@Corbin Adam Instablaster =)
Verissimo. La 1 volta che l ho sentita ho pianto
Thank you Rhiannon this is music for the soul beautiful 🇮🇪☘☘🇺🇸
I heard this song a while back, and let my girl and my mom know that I would want this to be played and my service if I passed.
Tonight I honor my Dad with this same song...
I love you, and I thank you. 🤟😞💔
The most moving and touching song about death I've ever listened to. It would be wonderful if it were true that the friends you lost would call you home
Rhiannon you are just a beautiful singer and so talented and my life is truly enriched. Thanks a million.

Great list! 👍
This might be the most beautiful song I’ve ever heard.
Other worldly, spiritual and strikes a chord and resonates with so many. What an extraordinary and soulful voice❤
Absolutely and hauntingly beautiful. Love the song, love your interpretation, the voice and the deceptively simple accompaniment, love the cinematography and the symbolism behind it. Thank you, everyone involved in putting this gem together.
Interpretation? So there's another song like this? Cause I can't find it.
Totally Awesome, Thank you.
This is a high point in modern music. True emotion in every note and word. If we could all live like this song feels, I’m not sure if we’d all be walking around smiling or crying 😂
Fantastic! Even at 72, she gave me goosebumps.
That is gorgeous and powerful, thank you Rhiannon and Francesco.
Wow....... the call home....... a beautiful song of an experience shared by all of humanity..... well done, Rhiannon
No words for a voice that evokes so much complexity of emotion.
More beautiful than words express.
I've just returned from the scattering of my freinds ashes on the beutifull island of Sherkin off the west coast of Ireland and this song seems it was written especially for him rest in peace Vincent O Sullivan aka vincy rock there calling you home your reunited now with your beloved mam and dad and your best friend Micheal John o Leary may there souls and all the souls of the faithfully departed rest in heavenly peace amen 🙏💓🌹
i was in hospital with covid when my mum died in another hospital,i found this on my phone, made my cry
This always leaves me in tears. I can only watch and listen rarely.
This reminds me of a few Celtic Scottish or Irish songs and much more. My angel bride Brenda would have hugely loved this. Your music is astounding as it always has been since I found you on Fresh Air with Terri Gross when I lived in Pinetop/Lakeside AZ in the mountains before my angel bride became and angel.

Rhiannon is such an expressive, talented, wonderful singer and musician! She is the soul of folk music.
I just heard this the other day and it touched my heart and soul so much it made me cry,I felt it so deeply.
It's impossible not to cry listening to this song, these moving lyrics and this incredible voice
Hail to you, tremendous ancestor shaking music, sláinte chugat
This is a classic performance. Thank you.
My cousin sang this at his dad's funeral last week. It was powerfully touching. ♥️
After hearing this heavenly elegy, how can anyone fear death?
In love with those birds :-)
This is still one of the most haunting songs i've eve heard. It transcends so much.
I can almost feel the Appalachian mountains of North Carolina. Chills!
Wow, Rhianna. That was just beautiful. Txs for that complete work of art.
Rhiannon (not to be confused with the pop star Rhianna).
Im wondering if it was auto fill.
@@inthemaze7441 Probably.
Just do beautiful snd we are using this at my dear Dad’s funeral 90 years old. Thank you for this beautiful song💙
Just beautiful.
awed and humbled to hear such grace and truth.
What a magnificent voice, what great images, what great music. Bravissimo a tutti.
Singing about the ghost of death, a song that represents a universal reality to everything that posses life, what a soulful way to remind us of our ultimate destination through such a haunting expression
This music me transports me to a different place. Bravo Rhiannon!
I've listened to this track countless times now. The melody haunts my mind as I fall asleep these nights. I love this tune.
Just came across this song randomly on spotify. So lucky that I did. I really liked this song.
Very soulful and beautifully sung. I discovered you today and I know my life will be richer for it. Thank you
absolutely stunning, on all levels, thank you...
Congratulations on winning a Grammy, I kept my fingers crossed from the very beginning! My favorite album of last year.
A voice with wisdom beyond her years.

Hi Rhiannon and Francesco, love your music. Wish all the best to you 2!
Wow. Her voice amazes me.

One person thumbed down this song....they know naught of beauty.
As I've searched for a song to post on a video that acknowledged my sister's birthday, to honor what would have been her sixteenth birthday, I came across this gem.
Ms Giddens, your voice..what a healing gift you so graciously share.
If it's okay to share in comments..ill post it there...
Knew this song was the right one as it raised the hair on the back of my neck and goosebumps.
God bless and keep you and yours
Wado( thank you)
Wow. So wonderful, so powerful, full of truth and beauty. Thank you!
one voice in the universe
THANK GOD YOU EXIST! YOUR TALENT IS A BLESSING TO US ALL!
My great uncle just passed away and this song is giving me comfort
Many times in my life music has spoken to me. Today it speaks yet again. In such a wonderful and powerful way.
This is so beautiful!
Dear god, this is beautiful. Tears streaming now, for the ones I have lost.
Gosh, thrilling chant...
Stunning, also what is wrong with the 2 people who downvoted this
Ha since then now it's 1 person. I guess they were like, "Oh this guy is right, what is wrong with me, i'm gonna like this."
I watched Vikings season 6 last night.. and then Lagertha's death..ohh how my heart breaks.. and now listening to this beautiful masterpiece. I can imagine this is sung at Lagertha's funeral. Thank you Ms. Rhiannon for sharing this with us!
I was told to search "calling me home" and it couldn't have been more perfect 💜🙏
Haunting!
Amazing! Thank you Rhiannon
I've found my funeral song. Thank you Rhiannon.
This is a gorgeous and very haunting piece.
It touched the depths of my soul ,thank you !!!
Absolutely stunning. Such rich melody and rhythm in every word !
Just wow...all I can say. Wow. Instantly hooked
Oh absolutely magical music. Gorgeous haunting voice. Love it. 🕊🕊😇
For me, it was the best performance from Celtic Connections 2021.
Wow what a beautiful song. The beginning immediately captivated me. It reminds me of both Bury Me Not On The Lone Prairie and Wayfaring Stranger. I have the last album you did and the one before that too, always amazing. But this song especially feels haunting these days.
Exactly right for right now. Thank you
Powerful and beautiful. Thank you.
Wow, this is beautiful!
This is seriously other worldly. I have been struck still & covered in goosebumps like this in a hot minute. Absolute masterpiece of a woman, love it
Yes Rhiannon I'll remember your songs. Much love Siren of the South.
Hauntingly beautiful🥀
Such a beautiful song, beautifully sung.
Stunningly beautiful, reminds of Lankum from Dublin. Got to love a good drone.
Absolutely beautiful
Wow!!! Her voice pure as angels, nature, birds in flight! Plus perfect video. I just did a video of crows flying last week, so am taking this one personally. Thank you bless you always beautiful woman and soul.
