"I Am a Poor Wayfaring Stranger" arrives in the wake of Thomas Newman’s critically acclaimed score for 1917. Towards the end of the film, actor Jos Slovick appears as a British soldier singing the song to his fellow troops prior to battle. Of the release, Slovick says, “1917 is an incredible film to be part of. It felt like a special moment when we filmed that scene, and I’m so pleased it’s resonating with people. Recording the song at Abbey Road Studios was a dream come true.”
ABOUT THE FILM
Set at the height of the First World War, 1917 centers on two young British soldiers, Schofield (George MacKay) and Blake (Dean-Charles Chapman), who are given a seemingly impossible mission. In a race against time, they must cross enemy territory and deliver a message that will stop a deadly attack on hundreds of soldiers - Blake’s own brother among them.

I am a poor wayfaring stranger
I'm travelling through this world of woe
Yet there's no sickness, toil nor danger
In that bright land to which I go
I'm going there to see my father
I'm going there, no more to roam
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home
I know dark clouds will gather round me
I know my way is rough and steep
But golden fields lie just before me
Where God's redeemed shall ever sleep
I'm going home to see my mother
And all my loved ones who've gone on
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home
Repeat verse one and chorus

I went to see this in the cinema, you know a movie is engulfing everyone in it's story when the whole room was dead silent during this scene, not a single soul made a sound and you could just feel the focus on the screen, an amazing movie and even more amazing scene
And yet many people, including critics, found the film boring and dissed it. Idiots with no souls.
Just saw the movie yesterday. No one (we were like a hundred) said a word during the entire movie.
The whole filmed in one shot was done amazingly, it kept everyone in constant suspense it was done masterfully and this scene at the end was such a climax I loved it
Well that happen when i went to the cine, in argentina. The song is so good no mather the languaje :3
I had the same experience. You could feel the sense of doom that they were facing, facing death. It’s like the lead character had been baptized in the river.
Now imagine after running through hell, after almost drowning, you've lost all hope and now you just stop to listen someone sing this in the middle of nowhere and think about 1600 people dying because of you.
Think about some 800 people who DIDN'T die because of you.

*16,000
Calvin Cuber n’ sneakerhead idiot watch the film od trailer
,,Will you write to my mom for me? Tell her i wasn't scared.''
~Blake~
That part, the song, and the part where his brother realizes fucking broke me... I tried not to cry...
Turns out that even demonetisation can cry
I watched the movie, and it’s sad😭
"my mum".
Breaks my heart every time 💔
I swear the time stamp is wrong. Listening to this song makes it feel like an hour or more has passed.
It makes me feel....relaxed, When I saw the movie, i only felt tranquility when he sat and listened to this song..like when a big ass weight gets off your shoulders.
It certainly feels like one or two hours has passed, and I felt the same as Cesar.
Try listening to this alone at night at the beach with a speaker so can still hear the waves and don't forget to look at the stars...
I saw *1917* opening night and again the following weekend. This scene in the forest where the company of soldiers are gathered to listen to one of their own sing this song before they go to battle was an incredibly somber moment. The song was so beautiful in its pureness and simplicity. It made my eyes well with tears.
I've been wanting and waiting for the full version of "Wayfaring Stranger" as sung by Jos Slovick in the movie to be released and now it's here. I'm so overjoyed. I want this song played at my funeral.
There are five things in a movie that make me cry.
1. Selfless sacrifice, and not just sacrificing one's life for others, but also sacrificing one's own self interest and personal desires for the greater good. (Schofield's decision to go on to deliver the message in Blake's place after he died)
2. The tragic loss of a beloved friend and loved one. (When Blake dies in Schofield's arms and he realizes he can't do anything to save him)
3. Acts of tender mercies and kindness in helping those in need. (When Schofield gives his food rations and milk to the French girl with the baby)
4. The moment when the protagonist reaches that resolve to face the impossible odds laid before them and the determination to overcome the insurmountable challenges that lie ahead no matter what the opposition. (Schofield, exhausted and faint from his journey, having found the Battalion he's been searching for, pushes on to deliver the message to the Colonel despite all that was trying to stop him)
5. The sad/happy reuniting of long lost friends and loved ones. (Schofield finds Tom's brother, Lt. Blake, and gives him the news of Tom's death along with his personal belongings)
*1917* had all five... and I cried at every one.
@@Wetworks_Arclight Well said. I agree with every word. You left one out that most people probably didn't get. When Scofield is riding in the vehicle after his friend died, the camera never once moved away from his face at center screen, amidst the shallow meaningless banter of the soldiers riding with him. We saw nothing but horror and shock, as he was left to bear a great traumatic loss entirely himself. That's all that scene was about. But what a scene, if one notices it.
To add to one of your points. The cherry blossoms falling on his face reminded him of his friend, just as he was about to give up in exhaustion. He got a second wind to continue on. I'm certain that particular symbolism went right over most heads.
@@organboi ABSOLUTELY!
I was thinking of a few specific scenes (below) that would have fit the 4th point on the list but I couldn't pick just one so I had to summarize as best I could...
1) The scene where the truck gets bogged down in the mud and Schofield, determined to carry on with his mission, gets out and starts pushing all by himself as the other soldiers stand by and watch in disbelief. And then, inspired by Schofield's perseverance, the other soldiers help him get the truck back on the road again.
2) The scene where the cherry blossoms fall on Schofield's face while he's floating down the river reminding him of his promise to Blake.
3) When Schofield, having reached the frontline, realizes that he is running out of time decides to climb out in front of the trenches to run the distance to the Colonel's bunker despite the danger of being out in the open as the attack begins.
I cheered with clenched fists and cried tears of hope and pride at each scene.
@@Wetworks_Arclight Exactly. I agree and noticed those details as well. The pushing of the truck while the others lazily stood by was yet another notable detail. Lots of people probably found this all very boring. But it's realistic and said a lot with very little. Also, the cherry blossoms on the river meant nothing to most people. One person actually found the blossoms to be a BAD thing because he claims there were no trees on the side of the river. (?!) That can't be true. And why would anyone focus on such a thing rather than the positive? People who call the film boring were LOOKING for problems. Like the plane crash. People claim he could have just run to the side rather than into the barn. Not true. He was trapped by the wall of the barn. You can see it if you look closely. People judge a film based on watching a trailer on their phones where they can't see shit. Which brings up another topic. When the film streams, millions will watch this masterpiece on their phones. Can you just imagine?
@@Wetworks_Arclight Regarding one of your points:
"Am I dying?"
"Yes... Yes. I think you are."
Brilliant script.
*When He Leaned Against The Tree* I lowkey thought he Burned himself out - and Died On the Tree listening to The Solider Sing.. One of The Best Movies I’ve seen this year.
@ First Last so did I... I was like, "blink. Please blink, Schofield!" I was so scared for him
play this at my funeral .
Me too man
Me three man count me in
Me four
Me 5😭 I don't wanna die but you can't control life😭
@@jacobdavid235 Me 6 because I find this song to be very calming for some reason.
I cry, always, when I think about those soldiers who fought for us. Not because I'm sad, but because we absolutely can't imagine how terrible it could have been to be in the trench, living those conditions, fighting whithout always understanding why. We can't even imagine how hard it was, what is going through your mind in those situation, cause we will not live it, and for that, I have so much respect for them. This is why I cry, because I'm impressed of their courage.
I agree so much I cry too for their bravery and I respect them I also respect the soldiers that lost their lives
I'm sry to disappoint u but I know that the soldiers weren't to be blamed but at that time they didn't fight for the good as I am Lebanese and at that time the French and the British conquered my country and other countries and the did all kind of bad things and they were the reason some of my relatives died long ago
as a child of ww2 vet they knew why they were there... for freedom
I agree
Me too im jordanian
Brilliant film
Fantastic score
Gorgeous cinematography
Amazing performances
One of the best films of last year
2019 was such an fantastic year of film

2019 is definitely my favourite film year
Me too! 1917 has to be one of my favorites.
2020 sucks lmao
“endgame”
idk chief i have that scrubbed off my list for good movies of 2019
Knives Out too
This is one of the only songs that legitimately made me tear up.
Trinity Braley facts
I recommend you listen to Into the West by Annie Lennox
Can we just agree that it's acceptable for anyone to cry with this song 😂
Most of the audience cryed, teared up the moment this person started to sing when I saw this in theaters myself included.
Absolutely ...😔
"I'm only going over jordan, I'm only going over home." Meaning hes going over the land of the living and hes going home "to heaven" and seeing his family and friends. Knowing what this song is about is crazy, like everyone dies but these dudes died for a cause and that's what gets me. Such a good song.
He is talking about dying and going to Heaven. It was written by a prisoner in a camp before they died.
That is very interesting and honestly very sad.
The tears started streaming down a bit when this scene came on at the theater.
I loved this film. This scene had me on the verge of tears. After everything he had seen and endured, he deserved just a moment to sit and listen to the music among the other unfortunate young boys.
At 4:11 : Aaaah it's rewind time!
Cheeky little bastard
My jaw was dropped from this scene until the very end of the credits. Wow. Wow.
When Lance Corporal Schofield arrives at the gathering of Davons company after facing the tragic loss of a friend, after an encounter with the women in basement, after the whole chase through enemy's territory dodging bullets and dead bodies and found the fellow singing this song is the most distinguished cinematic experience i ever had.
Heard so many covers of this song. Not one, and I mean not one. Has sung it as well and as nicely as in this movie. Honestly amazing.
This scene broke me, every time I see this it just breaks my heart
There are no Tommys left now, may they rest in peace.
I listened to this song while watching the movie and I felt like I was healed. It's a really nice song to listen to.
Each iteration of this song somehow still carries such a weighted story. And it's felt as each second passes.
This song feels like a day long.
This was a beautiful moment in the film. I also loved the scene where Schofield gives milk to the baby and the mother.
Truly haunting singing so pure never fails to move me to tears lest we forget.
I remember not being able to watch 1917 in 2019 but I got to watch it in 2020 on my birthday. Made sure to avoid all spoilers. One of the best movies I've ever seen if not the best.
Bless our Great War veterans! Your sacrifice not forgotten...
When I watched the movie I was mesmerized by the song. I wasn't really watching until Lance Corporal came out of the woods and I began hearing the song then I sat back down and watched just to be brought back once the men started moving
Un film des plus magnifiques qui tient à nous rappeler que la guerre n'est pas juste un vague souvenir. Bravo.
I'm not much of history movie kind of person but holy crap I love this movie
Have you seen saving private ryan
This amazing music is dedicated

Beautiful. My favourite version of this song. In my opinion, no one has done it better. The fact that it fits so well with the movie just adds to it.
After listening to this song in the theater,I got so lost with it, that I remained paused after a bullet firing sound came.Such a melancholic and peaceful melody.
I listened to this the first night after watching 1917, and it's my third favourite film of all time
My speaker doesn't do this man's voice justice
1917 made not only me cry but I saw and heard others cry which made me feel better about myself. It felt Engaging the whole thing why does it have so much hate
Because some people are heartless husks that never take in appreciation of the main purpose and way it's supposed to feel, it's not supposed to be analyzed and criticized... it's supposed to make people remember the horror that we have forgotten and now repeating...
This movie and especially this scene was absolutely amazing. This is the first song without music I can honestly say that I love. The way this guy sings makes his voice sound like an instrument.. wow. Amazing
Best war movie ever. And this song is cherry on top....if there is such a thing for the war movies.
This is not a war movie. This is an *anti-war* movie and one of the very best. Ranks with the 1930 version of _"All Quiet on the Western Front"._
When I listen to this I imagine being a soldier in the middle of another huge war after being tense for so long listening to someone sing this and feeling a warm feeling, a feeling of security, a time that you wanna cry for the soldiers you saw die but you can’t, so it makes your chest feel heavy, but your hopes are raised for the pursuing firefight that could happen in the next 30 minutes,30 hours, or 30 days, never knowing the outcome of every minute but for a second being able to let down your guard .
Shall god bless humanity.....
Well it hasn't worked so far.
I love it how one voice in a very solumn part of the film can be the most powerfully beautiful comfort to those men who were facing fate.
YES!! They released it!!!
thipessoa its already been out for 2 days
Jos Slovick. DANG what a beautiful voice.
Best movie ever made makes me cry every time I listen to this song
Yes! This is the version I was waiting for. Absolutely beautiful. Thank you.
Just watching this movie and OMG, the scene where the soldier was singing, I fell in love instantly.
play this at my funeral ❤
As a soldier, in what little capacity that I lived as one, this song speaks of the home I never found in life
I wish that I could find in life the absolution that this song instills in me
This song hits me
My eyes welled up with tears at this scene, the music and the faces of the young soldiers on their way to their deaths
Brotherhood. Friendship. Loyalty. And duty is what movie was about and I love those features and the movie
I need the epic trailer version of this masterpiece
I know but I mean the complete version haha
beautiful
With everything going on in the world right now I know this is not related to war but with this virus that is happening and listening to this it’s hard to imagine what our nurses and doctors are going through and the people who are suffering I just hope hearing this song people may find some peace.
😔😔 led to one of the most amazing scenes in film industry
My great grandfather went missing in action here ❤️😢
Amo essa música
A wonderful song, coming at the point of the film the emotions have run their highest. Truly one of the best made movies; objectively speaking, and I don't usually care for war movies.
This song very accurately shows the sadness and darkness these soldiers went through, such an amazing song
No one has commented in a while and I just wanted to say that this song is beautiful
This made me tear up, the only song that has made me done that
You are maybe not poor and wayfaring but strenger, because of yours surname. In Polish Language the word "slovick" [słowik] mean the small bird wchih is beautifuly singing in the sunrise - nightingale. I've been listenedto this bird in forests in my country and that's was wanderful expirience.
By the way: One of polish kings Wladislaw Jagiello passed away because he was listened to nightingles, in frosty sunrise, get a pneumonia and died...
Truly exquisite in an extraordinary movie.
If I ever go off to battle I want to hear the song!
Finally the movie version of this song
This must be playing on my funeral...
I listening to this on 1917 and it was beautyful
Finally, Thanks
Whoever disliked that needs to take it back. To some this was the very last thing they heard.
I think this song was made specifically for this movie. But don't hold me to it...
The song was wrote a few years before 1917.
germans disliked this
@@draroking Prussians, there was a strong hatred between the brits and prussians.
@@pavlepavlovic4073 This song actually dates back to before the civil war or at least a version of it.
i think its the best movie
I am from Russia. But i understent all what he is singing. And... I do not know what to say. That song is very well!
I’ve never seen the movie but the song gave me goosebumps.
Very moving.
1917 got robbed of best picture. Hands down.
Is so beatofull. I cry
♡♡♡♡ i love music
I sang this song at my father's funeral beautiful lyrics 😢😢😢😢😢😢
OMG I LOVE THIS SONG
It gives me the tranquilizing vibe of Jenny of Oldstones from GOT
Or Rains of Castamere.
Or the OG, LOTR's Edge of Night
R.I.P Blake
Wunderschön
F**k Oscars....this movie is beyond everything, Oscar doesn't deserve 1917...
Nah Parasite was better
@@shan9886 Parasite as a film was stellar, but 1917 for me was storytelling at it's finest.
I don’t agree, to me there wasn’t even much story or meaning just visuals
@@shan9886 it didn't really need some huge storydriven narrative, the characters, dialogue, and the events that play throughout the film keep it going and it works.
@@NDKfilms yeah, except Parasite does a much better job telling a story. Again, this movie was mostly just visuals with a generic and predictable story being told. It isn't bad by any means and was a fun movie, but Parasite rightfully deserved the Oscar for outstanding storytelling, character development, cinematography, suspense, story development etc
Até arrepia, muito bom!
Doctor: le quedan 5 minutos de vida.
Yo: i am a poor wayfaring stranger...
Every time I hear this. At least crying is healthy?
Beautiful voice
BEAUTIFUL...
A haunting death, reflexion. He sat and listened because of shear exhaustion before trying his greatest energy level and emotion. Don’t You get it, it’s not hard to understand
Só de ouvir essa música me lembrei do filme😂😂
R.I.P THOMAS BLAYCOS
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I am crying
Esse filme se tornou um dos maiores filmes de guerra já visto, e ainda ter uma canção dessa é de arrepiar!
Vdd
Beautiful
The definition of purity...
I thought this moment of the film of quiet and stillness kind of made the movie. Reminded me of something out of a Powell and Pressburger Movie. Where there's this juxtaposition of the transcendent and otherworldly with the horrors of war.
Im from russia , замечательно поёт! Посмотрел перевод, и фильм 1917, не плохо.
This song may be for you all now, many dying....
FINALLY!
Jos needs more singing roles.
I want this song played at my funeral.
