adamddr I love that you said that because there was a game on the Wii called Endless Ocean that has songs sung by her as you explore the sea. This song introduced the game, so you aren't wrong about the feel of the song xD
I love Endless Ocean. I have been a Scuba Diver since I was in high school, and this is the closest any video game has come to recreating what you see under the water. Also the game introduced me to Hayley Westenra, I have one of her albums that has this song on it. I play it frequently.
So I think I figured out the line of thought for the people who picked out the songs for Endless Ocean "We need the music to be as calming as possible." *they hear Hayley, jawdrops all around* "...I think we have a winner"
I can only imagine how much confidence in one's own abilities it must take to walk out on that stage before such a huge audience, lift the microphone up, and start the song without any music at all. Throughout the entire concert hall there wasn't another sound from anyone or anything. There was just the sheer grace and beauty of this lovely lady's voice and her presence. How fortunate we all are to be able to witness this kind of talent.
She has such an amazing voice -I think she is one of the best singers in the world (her voice is so relaxing and pure). I wish her the best the world has to offer!
I think this is by far my most favourite of her pieces, absolutely beautiful, but a very close second is her cover of scarborough fair she covered in celtic woman.
In my book Hayley is simply THE worlds BEST female voice. Please give thumbs up if you agree. Thank you Hayley and thank god for this angel. Long may you live
I agree...I was on the Nintendo "wii" web site, and there's a game called "Endless Ocean", I went to the site and I heard this song playing. I've never heard a purer voice in my life. At first I thought it might be some kind of studio trick to get someone to sound that good, but after watching this live performance, I'm convinced. She is unbelievably amazing! I just had to find out who this was.
@57bigjoe I totally agree!! Imagine the confidence that she must have to walk out on that stage in front of that huge audience, lift the microphone, and start singing without another sound in the entire theatre. It seems as though the members of the orchestra even sit without moving, at her opening, out of pure respect for this talented lady in their presence!!
wow. I thought this was going to be corny, but it's FANTASTIC this is how it should be...pure and simple. she doesn't over-do it; it's beauty through gentle subtlety
I heard this song playing "Endless Ocean" on the Wii. I didnt know who she was prior to finding this video. This is an amazing song and her voice is truly beautiful.
I dont usually listen to music like this. I was searching for Hayley Williams out of paramore. and instead a link came up saying did you mean Hayley Westenra. So I clicked it and I found some of her songs. She quite good. I never noticed the name on Endless Ocean and then realised this was her. Its good music but its just not me. She is still amazing. Its not every day you get singers like that whilst most boys are into rapping not realising that there are singers like this.
If anyone knows another singer that can perform this song any better, please, let me know who it is. I would love to hear it. Actually, I won't hold my breath waiting for anyone to come forth, so I will just keep enjoying this PERFECT version that Hayley is singing.
I'm not normally a fan of this kind of music, but this is just incredible. The only thing is, while she's being introduced the gentleman talking gets a very strange look on his face when he talks about 'dark times'.
This was absolute beauty, both in her voice, and in the performance of the song !! If anyone can do it better please let me know where to find it. Oh, never mind, it would only be a waste of time trying to find it !!!!
Whenever I feel Grumpy, I just listen to her voice and I'm better. Her voice is such an Endless Ocean of talent.
Very late but aaaah i see what you did there
@@russiawolf11 3 years late but I was gona say the same
I can just imagine swimming in an endless ocean while listening to this song.
No touching the fishies tho
adamddr I love that you said that because there was a game on the Wii called Endless Ocean that has songs sung by her as you explore the sea. This song introduced the game, so you aren't wrong about the feel of the song xD
I take it I'm the only one who came here because of Endless Ocean.
I am too. Just a little later than you.
Kaleb Contreras You are not alone :)
Hanzum Autist nope, me too
That was such a beautiful game where one could see the love that went into the game
I love Endless Ocean. I have been a Scuba Diver since I was in high school, and this is the closest any video game has come to recreating what you see under the water. Also the game introduced me to Hayley Westenra, I have one of her albums that has this song on it. I play it frequently.
I wanna go SCUBA diving now.
Game Grumps sent me here.

when im grumpin...

'time to hear once again, from our special guest', it's like he knows I can't stop listening.
I think this is by far my most favourite of her pieces, absolutely beautiful, but a very close second is her cover of scarborough fair she covered in celtic woman.
I heard about this song from a Game Grumps episode, but I stay for the angelic voice. Her voice is madly beautiful, just like this song.
Kudos to the audience for allowing the song to end before applauding. That's a pet peeve of mine.
It depends on how loud the concert is.
So beautiful... Reminds me of a mermaid singing to a sailor...
so much talent, such a clear pure voice, Mariah Carey take notes
Haley has a voice as if a Stradivarius violin has come to life. I have never heard something like this. She is nothing less than a phenomena.
In my book Hayley is simply THE worlds BEST female voice. Please give thumbs up if you agree.
Thank you Hayley and thank god for this angel.
Long may you live
There's talent, and then there is Hayley. I don't think I've ever been more captivated in my life.
all her songs are on endless ocean(wii game the game is brilliannt!) this is brilliant
This song was played at my mother in laws funeral, knocked me for six, couldn't hold the tears. Absolutely lovely Haylie thank you.
same here her voice is so pretty its captivating perfect voice for an underwater game.
GAMEGRUMP brought me here
Oh. This is actually a lot more mature, better than her CD version. :) Love it.

They wrote it and Hayley perfected it.
I see what you mean, this is so much better than her recorded version!
wow. I thought this was going to be corny, but it's FANTASTIC
this is how it should be...pure and simple. she doesn't over-do it; it's beauty through gentle subtlety
Wow. She sings like someone who used to be a mermaid.
I'm glad I got to hear this song on Game Grumps, even if they laughed at it. This is some of the best singing I've heard in my life.
It's in the Royal Albert Hall, London.
The Royal Albert Hall in London.
hauntingly beautiful voice...fantastic artistry!!! Yes exeNewter...God is beautiful!
Hayley Westenra is the single best female singer EVER!!!!
This was in Endless Ocean, and it fit there so well, it was scary. For Reals!
When Hayley sings this I have an out of body experience, time stands still, I am but spirit and riding a eurphoria know only by few of us mortals.
GOD I love this song.
Tell me....is there any other singer out there who can perform this song as flawlessly as Hayley is doing here! I DOUBT IT !!!!
Indeed. It got me through a really rough time last year.
Bought Endless Ocean just for her voice. :D
she has a wonderful voice most singers are covered with music but hayley has a pure voice which the world can obviously see
Endless ocean ftw!
I'm getting this played at my funeral whenever I die.

gracias a el juego endless ocean pude conocer la hermosa voz y la hermosa persona que es Hayley Westenra....
She has the power to make her voice sound like a choir. It's amazing.
I Love this song, words can't describe how beautiful it is.....makes me tear up each time.
I want this played at my funeral
It speaks to me of hope in the midst of an endless winter that started with the fifth season. How beautiful!
Me encanta esta cancion y la conoci gracias al juego Endless Ocean...
they shouldn't sell Valium anymore...just CDs from this beauty...Enjoy the ride to paradise in your dreams!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i heard this first from the secret garden....so did they wrote it? or this song actually belong to sum other singer?
I got a copy of EO last year and was absolutely dumbfounded by this song. The combo of this song and the animation spoke to my soul.
Same for me, if only 'cos I don't have many more.
I'd probably go for this though, just 'cos it's great.
endless ocean is a great game and to have this and many other of her songs makes it that much better
I only found out about this song from playing the Nintendo Wii Game Endless Ocean.Its Amazing!
I'm not familiar with opera but is this opera? I feel like I'm levitating from the ground.
I like how this audience waits until the music completely stops before they applaud.
This is the only song that almost makes me tear. I never cry so that's saying a lot.
I have the Wii game. thats where i discovered her. She has a beautiful voice.
shes better than secret garden! i hope they dont read this but they might...
This song makes Endless Ocean (Wii) such a relaxing game.Hope you agree.
Good point. Downloaded it last night. Still want the game though.
