There's something about Jennifer Lawrence's voice when she sang this song in the movie that made it so touching (I don't know if this is the right word for it). She sounds desperate, afraid, and sad all at the same time.
And that .. effect? Fits so well with that particular song, because if I remember correctly (it has been quite some time since I read the books) that song was basically banned by the capitol early in Katniss’ life because it was seen as potentially revolutionary in nature (despite having a history long predating the first rebellion) so it makes sense that she sounds afraid, not only has it always been very “risky” to sing it but she makes it clear that she doesn’t really like being in front of the camera either, also it probably reminds her a lot about her father
The increase in tempo is ever so slight, but CONSTANTLY building throughout the entire song, and the more people that are added and the louder it gets, the faster it gets too. For a hundred people to pull it all off? DAMN. From a note playing perspective, this song is easy. But from a technique and orchestration perspective? DAAAAAAMN.
Hats off to James Newton Howard for taking Suzanne Collins' lyrics and composing a breathtakingly... haunting, sad... troubling song. I can't remove it from the story in my head so Idk if Jenniffer Lawrence's rendition can be topped. The rawness and disquiet she sang it with was perfectly gut wrentching. That being said this rendition is beautiful and velvety. It feels far removed from the story but exquisitly and elegantly performed. Beautifully done.
It gives me epilouge vibes, a ceremony that takes place decades after Katniss' natural passsing. The Mockingjay's Rememberence. It's to celebrate Panem's new freedom and to remember the souls who *choose* to die for this.
I really agree. It's amazingly beautiful. Though I must add James Newton Howard didn't compose the tune, he only made the orchestral production. The song was composed by an American band whose name I cannot remember
The tear alliance they have with each other, knowing that their only goal is setting bombs. Knowing that their live will only lead to death; a suicide mission. So perfect to make audience feel connected
The soundtrack of one of the most important movie series in recent memory. I think it is a very humbling tune. As usual the Danish Orchestra does a wonderful job. A beautiful performance
Are you, are you comin' to the tree? Where they strung up a man, they say, who murdered three Strange things did happen here, no stranger would it be If we met at midnight in the hanging tree Are you, are you comin' to the tree Where dead man called out for his love to flee? Strange things did happen here, no stranger would it be If we met at midnight in the hanging tree Are you, are you comin' to the tree Where I told you to run, so we'd both be free? Strange things did happen here, no stranger would it be If we met at midnight in the hanging tree Are you, are you comin' to the tree Where necklace of hope, side by side with me?

On one side it's Met gala and lavish party of the elites, while on the other part of the world it is war and death. We certainly are living in Hunger games era
I'm still bothered by 'rope' being replaced by 'hope' in the movies. Regardless, it's SUCH a haunting and beautiful song. There was a fan made version I loved before the movie version came out, but the scenes with Jennifer singing it's really incredible
i dunno, i think the necklace of hope has called a certain image to mind that underscores how dire the situation is. like rope describes the physical object that killed them and all that implies. but hope being the thing that killed them- the hope for a better future, for revolution- it has a certain deadly ring to it that chills my soul personally. hope killed them, not the system that bought the rope, not the faceless government executioner, but the hope that damned them.
@@feifiefofum1 exactly and the fact is, all songs, that’s been passed to generations and generations, meanings and lyrics eventually change, but the essence will always be there. it’s simply a revolutionary song.
Recently got back to watching these movies and this song has always been amazing for me. However THIS ORCHESTRA has got to be the BEST VERSION i've ever heard of it.

Yes, "The Hanging Tree" from The Hunger Games peaked at number 12 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2014, making it a successful song outside of the movie. It achieved double platinum status in the US and platinum status in Canada and Germany. Jennifer Lawrence sang the song, which was written by Suzanne Collins and the Lumineers, in the 2014 movie The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part I. In the movie The song, as performed by Katniss Everdeen in the film, ends up becoming a rebellion anthem for the districts. The rebel in the song is pleading with his neighbors to accompany him in his quest for independence.
Thank you Danish National Symphony Orchestra! You're so great performing Soundtracks. Extraordinary, I already found so many "pieces of gold" performed by you.
And to think our politicians wanted to cut the funding for this orchestra. And SO happy we have Stegelman for these programs, the grand old man of programs about computer games on danish TV
Such a haunting song. Thank you suzanne collins for these words. I just finished reading the Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes and knowing the origins of this song in the story just made it more compelling.
@@Hiba-zw9bxYou might want to read the book first. But to explain, The song refers to the fact that a guy was responsible for a mining accident that killed three people in it, hence the strung up a man, they say who murdered *three.* He was later sentenced to death by hanging and Lucy was the one who originally sang it later on.
@@firecracker7303i think it’s been passed down to each generation in district 12. It was written in THG books that katniss’s father sang to her a lot. This must be one of the songs she remembered.
@@dslai2938 ... ---- it can also be interpreted as if the man is Snow since he killed 3 people (doesnt make that much sense since he wasn't strung) and she says "are you, coming to the tree?" obviously talking to snow since they met there before runing away, and also "where i told you to run, so we'd both be free" talking about when they ran from district 12, the necklace of rope part i don't remember but there's defitively some reference to that in the movie or book
I think it's fantastic. I'm a folksinger, and this does feel like a very old song that's been passed down for generations. My husband, who's also a folksinger, wasn't impressed. 😊
it's been to long that i watched the movie and this song always gave me chills and the feeling of haunted but DUDE it got me emotional i've had the same feels breathtaking rendition

That's because she didn't want to sing it and was forced by the director to do so. She was unsure of her singing.
Couldn't agree more
But she made it so real and it came alive and inspired the entire world. And that’s just why I think that she is the greatest actress ever.
My brother thought it was Adele when she sang, and we just watched all movies yesterday
The song gives such a haunting feel. The arrangement and singing are so beautiful!
"They strung up a man.."
if you feel that way, means that James Newton succeed
You ain't lying
is time to get them ...wakeup world wide....
Wait until you watch the scene that inspired the song on the upcoming “The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes”
The increase in tempo is ever so slight, but CONSTANTLY building throughout the entire song, and the more people that are added and the louder it gets, the faster it gets too. For a hundred people to pull it all off? DAMN. From a note playing perspective, this song is easy. But from a technique and orchestration perspective? DAAAAAAMN.
True
Spoke my mind
It sounded to me like the tempo was getting faster. Thank you for confirming that.
It’s as if it’s catching fire…
It's not constant though :-)
1:50 I feel the chill down my spine when the choir sings.
God me too, but why?
Me too
Me too
Yes got me crying my eyes out
yep me also
One of the best movie songs ever (in my opinion). I love the arrangement so much.
You should check out Lisa Gerrard, i bet you would like her too, if you like this. She did the soundtracks for gladiator and man on fire…

The pianissmo the orchestra was playing at at the start is insane.The amount of practice it must have taken to get the sound to blend so well..
not amount of practive, it is required if you are in a professional orchestra
I love how the energy changes when the entire choir gets engaged. I’m also pleased to see hunger games fans out here.

Hope was the theme. The last thing to go. The only thing stronger than fear.
