I’ve recently been diagnosed with a severe brain cancer. I’ve had to start thinking about things. This song will be added to the ones I want played At my funeral.
I pray for peace and health for you. I lost my husband in 2019 to brain cancer. It is an absolutely devastating monster. Look into as many options as you can.
I hope you have made peace with God. He is our maker and we all have to answer to Him when our time comes. There is only salvation and a way to eternal heaven through faith in Christ Jesus. God bless you my friend, I hope to meet you there when my time comes! I love listening to psalms on here, but you can also listen to the whole bible if you search audio bible. I prefer the dramatized audio bible. And don't give up hope! We all need to make peace with God weather we think our time is near or not!
I do hope you can pull through, Cancer is a bitch, and I believe you can beat it. you won't die, not today. and hopefully not for many years. please do tell us when you pull through.
Didn't expect to see RR here. Glad to see you have good tastes in music xD I enjoyed you and Cameron's debate on the Kalam. Now that it's coming to a close, are you considering revisiting other arguments like the Modal Cosmological Argument? I'm curious about your take on things like responses to the modal collapse argument, defenses of the PSR, etc. Pruss and Koons who are responsible for the Grim Messenger/Pruss-Koons paradox have also worked on it so I'm sure you'll find it interesting given your research on some of their other work
@@ColmRMcGuinness I think you should listen to "Fire in the blood/snake song" from the lawless movie. I don't expect a cover i just wanted to spread the word of this cool song.
Oh right, this is a 2021 cover of a the folk song written in the mid-1800's that was featured in a 2019 WWI film titled 1917. This was all very easy to understand.
For those who wanna sing along. Here you go I am a poor wayfaring stranger I'm travellin' through this world with 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 I am a poor wayfaring stranger I'm travellin' 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
1917 was the last movie I saw in theaters with my dad before he passed away in 2020. Looking forward to hearing this cover . EDIT: Finally got a chance to listen! Wow. I’m teary eyed. That was seriously a moving performance!
Colm McGuinness, Geoff Castellucci, Avi Kaplan, and Tim Foust, should all get together and sing the dark version of can't help falling in love or something like that.
I don't think it's real... Its probably done with a vocal changer... It's too deep and loses its purity in comparison to something he sings higher in chest.
The last lines are what really get me. That high note into the shaky breathing into the subterranean drop to the basement pretty much always goosebumps my shit and I am totally on board with that.
@@sychoserbianljubisic4438 aye, I can testify to that, mate. In fact, most people who can sing in bass, in my experience, need the rest of the choir to sound good...and that's why I'm super jealous of Colm! I wish I could get low like him! But you are right...shite hurts
Holy shit Colm, those register changes are phenomenal. And the vibrato is killer too. You keep getting better and better, thank you so much for continuing to share this with us
My dad showed me this movie last Saturday and that scene (and all the rest of the movie) was so powerful and amazing! The song has been running through my head ever since, and I am so genuinely thrilled that you are covering it that I feel like I’m going to cry! So can’t wait!
I could cry with you pal; this really makes me think of the ones I've lost, and how much I want to hold on to the ones I have; especially to the one I love!
I haven’t seen the film, so I came into this with only the expectation of another amazing Colm performance, but I did not expect the character that came with the song! We don’t know a thing about his circumstances, but we know everything we need to know from the look in his eye, the doggedness in his stride, and the confidence in his face. He’s going home. We have no cause to doubt him. “Well done” is an understatement for such a fine performance! Chills. Just chills.
As a historian, I generally keep an eye out for films with historical plots. 1917 is definitely one of my top WWI-based films. It's simply tells the story of a young soldier's survival and the dangers he faced just to deliver a message during WWI. When you get the chance, give it a go!
A magnificant version of this very old song. Thanks, Colm. For other listeners, from Wikipedia: "According to the book The Makers of the Sacred Harp, by David Warren Steel and Richard H. Hulan, the lyrics were published in 1858 in Joseph Bever's Christian Songster, which was a collection of popular hymns and spiritual songs of the time.[3] This may or may not have been the first time the song appeared in English print, and the songwriter is unknown. " In the States, it is often considered a Negro spiritual or gospel song associated with the era of slavery, but applies as well to death in the US Civil War and World War I, s well as to other dark periods in one's life.
Yes!! I highly recommend “From This Valley” live performance by The Civil Wars. That’s real worship music, not the tinny canned stuff they play in church nowadays
My grandmother passed away a few days ago. This was the last song she heard. It was beyond an honor to play it for her. From my family thank you for your gift
Saw this movie in a tiny country theater with like 5 people. It was so harrowing and yet also amazing, this song encapsulates so much of what happens in the story too. It's incredible.
At first I thought you were going way too fast, then I realized that I had youtube at 1.5 speed. I love it. Can I request "Oh Death" and/or "Down to the River" from Oh Brother Where Art Thou?
I've loved this song since I was a kid, thank you so much for covering this song, I legit had to hold back a scream of excitement at work when I saw this
My younger brother took inspiration from your singing and started trying to expand his range. He showed this to me two days ago and ive come back to it over and over again since to let the emotion behind the notes and lyrics move me.
Thanks a lot, mate. I lose my entire top range for years at a time, when I'm out of practice. This is the first time I've started learning vibrato, so I really appreciate the compliment!
I know you probably won't read this because the video is a year old, but on the off chance you do: I find the emotion you put into this astonishing. I hear desperation, fear and even a bit of anger, as well as hopless acceptance. Instead of a soothing deathbed song, it's like an glimpse into a wounded young soldier's last moments as he's trying to prepare for impending death. Which I can only assume is intentional. It's so intense I can't even listen to it too much. Chapeau.
The transition from deep croon to higher singing voice sent chills down my spine. Then the higher end section I give up chills won't stop every time I listen to colm. Colm could read the end credits of lord of the rings or a phone book and his voice would still give me chills.
🤣 As I went to relisten just now, I saw - to my horror - that my finger must have slipped earlier and touched the bad thumb - duly corrected now, apologies 👍
Jedes Mal bekomme ich eine Gänsehaut...was für eine Stimme, einzigartig, grandios, mir fehlen die passenden Worte. Und in diesem Song zeigt er nicht mal alle Facetten, denn er kann noch mehr, einfach unglaublich.
I really love this song since forever, since finding the 16 horsepower version ages ago, and you did an amazing job with it. I like how you turned it slow and folk-y, it really gave it a very different feel, rather than just a cover. I mean, I usually say everything is better with banjo, but I think you proved me wrong!
Unbelievably powerful rendition. The prickle of tears and goose bumps came straightaway. This will haunt me for many weeks. Thank you for sharing your incedible voice and talent ❤
My goodness...! 😱 I’ve loved this old hymn for many years...and was rather sad in some strange way when 1917 used it, since now it would become popular... But I still love it, and Colm, absolutely fantastic job. ✨ I love the raw human-ness of your version!
This might be my favourite song you've done. Sleeping In The Cold Below is close, but this is so good. The deep voice at the start, and the younger sounding higher voice, like flashing back to a past self while your present self (the deeper voice) accepts their fate, hoping they'll end up home, with their father and mother. The little raspy breath at the end, slightly afraid, but steeling themself. Beautiful.
[Sees new McGuinness Premiere] "Yay!" [Realizes I work at noon tomorrow.] "...Crap." I'll enjoy it when I get the chance! It'll be stellar, I just know it!
[Sees new McGuinness Premiere] "Yay!" [Realizes I have a D&D session during the premiere] ... Crap!... but I reckon Colm would agree with my priorities.
Goosebumps all over and over and this with 30 degrees outside, you must be a magician! 😉 It's amazing again, like all the other songs you sing. I love the way you sing and the bright color of your voice , please never change your style. You're my favorite singer! Make a deep bow in face of such a great singer 🤩
Full of Triumph, Resolve, and Power through and through. Loved it, new favorite rendition of this song. Feel like I went to Church and Battle simultaneously. 🍻 Another great job well done man.
Your vocal range never fails to impress me. The build from low to high added this growing sense of hope to the song, then dropping back low tied it neatly with where you began.
So...totally insane range, but we know that ...heartstrings and the ending... Blows out a slow breath... WOW.. And that's emphasis not the MMO k 😂. Seriously... Nice job. Please look after yourself... We need you x
My Father passed away just before Thanksgiving last year (2021). I played this on my phone at the graveside during his funeral. I knew I loved Colm's version of the song but I never realized just How Much it spoke to me. Especially with the intensity of his voice. Thank you Colm for recording this!
I truly love not only listening to these videos but watching them. You're one of the few people i've seen who I can not only see the emotion in your face as you sing, but in your eyes as well. This may be one of my favorite videos/songs from you yet! Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to experience something this magical Colm.
This is bloody phenomenal, mate! I can just hear this rendition playing in some like post apocalyptic battle sequence or something. Which is to say that it is extremely epic! Well done!
OMG please try and do "We shall sail together", might sound impossible from the fact that the person singing sounds like a little girl, but you did the starting of "Hoist the colours" amazingly so I think you would nail it!
I’ve watched this movie a few times now and can’t help but get teary-eyed because of the pure emotion of the song. To say that this cover did that entire movie justice is a damn understatement
I got mad goosebumps! That was just as deeply desperate and as poignant as the film itself, which tbh was so utterly depressing but absolutely needed to have been made and reached all sorts of dark places in the soul and left a sad and frustrated taste in the mouth. Knitwear is on point my friend, was that a new addition? 😍👌🏻Loved it, all of it 💕✅
I heard my aunt sing this at my granny's funeral when I was a child and this sounds so much like my raising but with Colm's beautiful Irish accent. I am from Appalachia and the old spirituals were a part of my childhood. This touches my soul so deep.
Colm McGuinness Music: "So fun fact, canonically in this cover, someone shot the violinist 😂." From the live chat of the premiere of Wayfaring Stranger (1917) cover, 20 June 2021. Nine hours later with 9,000 views and 1,600 likes with 166 comments! Nice job, without blowing out your voice, Colm!
I’ve watched this song about 15 times today, and the only complaint I have is I can’t add it to my regular playlist on Spotify. I love your music and your phenomenal voice, and I look forward to hearing more in the future!
Can we all take a moment (or several) to just absorb that amazing, effortless, clean, vibrato. I know it doesn't always fit with the feel or style of a song, but that was some beautiful ear candy. Pardon me while I put this song on repeat for the next few hours.
I’ve recently been diagnosed with a severe brain cancer. I’ve had to start thinking about things. This song will be added to the ones I want played At my funeral.
I pray for peace and health for you. I lost my husband in 2019 to brain cancer. It is an absolutely devastating monster. Look into as many options as you can.

I do pray you make a full recovery
I do hope you can pull through, Cancer is a bitch, and I believe you can beat it. you won't die, not today. and hopefully not for many years. please do tell us when you pull through.
I feel sorry to know you're going through this I hope you achieve the afterlife you want and that your remaining time is peaceful

Starting the song on a B1 was a power move
Hahaha it was a good bass day for me! Some days I can only get as low as D2 and I'm like "why is the universe flip flopping on me!?"
@@ColmRMcGuinness I feel that, I’m the same way 😅
@@ColmRMcGuinness was it always this low, or did it become lower through time? I can hit E2 every day, sometimes lower. I'd like to go way lower.
@@ColmRMcGuinness your vocal range is incredible
I can get down to g when I throat sing
For those who wanna sing along. Here you go
I am a poor wayfaring stranger
I'm travellin' through this world with 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
I am a poor wayfaring stranger
I'm travellin' 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
Thank you!

Nothing wrong with that!🔥♥️
As an Irishman, I whole heartedly support the Irish cadence! No matter where in the world it pops up!

1917 was the last movie I saw in theaters with my dad before he passed away in 2020. Looking forward to hearing this cover .
EDIT: Finally got a chance to listen! Wow. I’m teary eyed. That was seriously a moving performance!
Sorry for your loss ❤️
don't worry, your just going over Jordan. you'll see him again.
i feel your pain of losing your dad my dad passed away in Aug 5th of 2005. may your father rest in peace as my father is.
Played this for my Ukrainian friends as the bombs fell on karkiv, last online 3 weeks ago
Bright life to you, friend. Clear skies for your travels.

@@blusoda0021 my guy.. he has so many bts videos. It's his real range.
apparently when asked how he achieves the low notes, Colm's reply was "Hangover"
@@blusoda0021 theres def some layering and vocal effects going on but i dont doubt that he can hit that low A on a good morning.
Every single key change I'm like "No, THIS is the part that gives me the most chills..."
Oof, felt! Colm is amazing!
The last lines are what really get me. That high note into the shaky breathing into the subterranean drop to the basement pretty much always goosebumps my shit and I am totally on board with that.
I remember those critics who said he couldn’t sing the bass and those parts. Boy they have disappeared lately!
Lad he can sing but singing deeper than your natural voice hurts like a bitch XD
@@sychoserbianljubisic4438 aye, I can testify to that, mate. In fact, most people who can sing in bass, in my experience, need the rest of the choir to sound good...and that's why I'm super jealous of Colm! I wish I could get low like him!
But you are right...shite hurts
It's still unbelievable that all this comes out from one single person: Colm. Amazing!!! And beyond beautiful!
I get goosebumps when he goes really low. He has an Awsome voice.
I'm already getting chills, that's gon' be good.
Can you sing something in Gaelic, please? You have such an amazing vocal range.
Can do! Cheers mate!

@NinjaSciborg it is definitely well worth your time
I found the song via my school choir forcing me to join a competition, so I got to do the version by John Jacob Niles, never watched the movie
I haven’t seen the film, so I came into this with only the expectation of another amazing Colm performance, but I did not expect the character that came with the song!

Something I didn't know I needed, 1917 is such a great movie

As always, I am blown away by your vocal range. Today, your high notes are actually hurting my ears. Wonderful song.

Amazing through and through. The pitch drop in the end... the change in tension of vocal cords and larynx, the pure and raw belting - thank you 😊

The growling, the passion, and of course, the side-eye before the second verse.
This is bloody phenomenal, mate! I can just hear this rendition playing in some like post apocalyptic battle sequence or something. Which is to say that it is extremely epic! Well done!
I don’t know the hell this doesn’t have 30 million views?!? It’s the best cover of this song I ever heard!
vibraaaatooooo. [insert heart eyes emoji here]
Your version of this song never fails to bring a tear to my. Just beautiful!
OMG please try and do "We shall sail together", might sound impossible from the fact that the person singing sounds like a little girl, but you did the starting of "Hoist the colours" amazingly so I think you would nail it!
I could listen to this forever! Great job! Another masterpiece
I'm just 15 and I never heard such a beautiful and high/ low singing it just lightens my life
I’ve watched this movie a few times now and can’t help but get teary-eyed because of the pure emotion of the song. To say that this cover did that entire movie justice is a damn understatement
This is the moment I want to hear Colm McGuinness and Rachel Hardy sing together
That shudder at the end. Makes me tear up every time. I know Colm. I feel it too. This song hits a certain chord in this old soldier's heart as well.
It's my favourite audition song...such a nice surprise to hear it from you! Beautiful emotion here. Bravo again
This is a folk song that I grew up with. It's nice to hear it covered in a very different manner than how I always heard it.
This brings a tear to the eyes for sure! Good show lad!
That last transition was incredible.
I got mad goosebumps! That was just as deeply desperate and as poignant as the film itself, which tbh was so utterly depressing but absolutely needed to have been made and reached all sorts of dark places in the soul and left a sad and frustrated taste in the mouth. Knitwear is on point my friend, was that a new addition? 😍👌🏻Loved it, all of it 💕✅
Man I am so hyped🔥 I discovered you through my brother the other day and I watched the God of War cover I was literally blown away 💯💯
I heard my aunt sing this at my granny's funeral when I was a child and this sounds so much like my raising but with Colm's beautiful Irish accent. I am from Appalachia and the old spirituals were a part of my childhood. This touches my soul so deep.
Colm McGuinness Music: "So fun fact, canonically in this cover, someone shot the violinist 😂." From the live chat of the premiere of Wayfaring Stranger (1917) cover, 20 June 2021. Nine hours later with 9,000 views and 1,600 likes with 166 comments! Nice job, without blowing out your voice, Colm!
I’ve watched this song about 15 times today, and the only complaint I have is I can’t add it to my regular playlist on Spotify. I love your music and your phenomenal voice, and I look forward to hearing more in the future!
I was not prepared for these feelings this morning. 😭
This is incredible, I haven’t heard a better rendition of poor wayfaring stranger 👏🏻👏🏻
Can we all take a moment (or several) to just absorb that amazing, effortless, clean, vibrato. I know it doesn't always fit with the feel or style of a song, but that was some beautiful ear candy. Pardon me while I put this song on repeat for the next few hours.
Thank you so much! I’ve never been able to do vibrato before and really started learning how to do it this year, so that’s a huge relief! 🤜🤛
Sounds like a soldier singing one last song before he goes home for good to see his fallen family.
If I don't belt this at least once a day, my day is not done
