This was his encore at the Kennedy Center when I went--It was just beautiful, no orchestra, just guitar and free harmony--and then he turned it into an audience choir and it was pretty similar to what I think Heaven will be like.
This is such a lovely performance. I can't help getting goosebumps every time I hear it. There are so many textures, with the guitar and violin, the presence of the orchestra, them having three very distinct voices and singing styles. I love how the song ebbs and flows. Adding layers with every verse, whilst keeping things restrained. Jacob's second verse reining it in to maximize the contrast with the incredible climax. I believe the Metropool Orkest are the real heroes here. They are just incredible. So versatile, and having such a recognizable sound both in playing as in their arrangements.
Finally someone uploaded it again! Sam is such an extraordinary singer; always so expressive. The sense of fragility in his voice is so enticing and terrifying in his verse.

YES. I was there and it was beautiful, I wish I recorded it, because I can’t find anything about it at Kennedy Center
From what I’ve seen that’s close to how The Corries used to traditionally perform it!
It's up now! PBS put up a video!
Jacob's tearful eyes at 6:30... I can't imagine how it must have been to hear all of that live.
This performance..... GOOOOSH. I always find myself not being able to breath as the orchestra join in at the end. Such magic
I come back to this perfect emotional harmony whenever I need a bit of amazement and positive energy. Just wow❤
I found that wild mountain thyme.
Finally.
This is a real hidden gem - beautiful through and through.

Jacob did the arrangements, mind

This is actually the first time I’ve seen the performance and not just heard the audio. I am not disappointed :)

Becca Stevens looks a lot like Marion Cotillard imo
Absolutely woeful.
it's so unnatural seeing Becca without her charango
Painfully mawkish
