- The incomparable Alfred Deller with an incredibly beautiful performance of the song sung by Feste in Shakespeare's 'Twelfth Night'.
Due to an error with my video editor the images continue for a long while after the music ceases.
When that I was and a little tiny boy,
With hey, ho, the wind and the rain,
A foolish thing was but a toy,
For the rain it raineth every day.
But when I came to man’s estae,
With hey, ho, the wind and the rain,
’Gainst knaves and thieves men shut their gate,
For the rain it raineth every day.
But when I came, alas! to wive,
With hey, ho, the wind and the rain,
By swaggering could I never thrive,
For the rain it raineth every day.
But when I came unto my beds,
With hey, ho, the wind and the rain,
With toss-pots still had drunken heads,
For the rain it raineth every day.
A great while ago the world begun,
With hey, ho, the wind and the rain,
But that’s all one, our play is done,
And we’ll strive to please you every day.
I love how he sings. Absolutely stunning
I do love Shakespeare. the Twelfth Night is one of my favorite plays. However, for some reason this rendition of the song creeps me the hell out. I really don't know why
I agree.. it doesn't go with the scene. especially with Festé being this goofy character and with the play wrapping up to a happy ending, it just doesn't seem right. I saw this live performance of Twelfth Night where all the character sang the happy version of this song at the end and danced to it. It was absolutely amazing
still goes well with the style of popular songs from Shakespeare´s era
Perhaps it's too high-pitched for modern ears.
The high pitch gives it a very sentimental feeling. Not that I am actually sentimentally attached, it's just the tone it gives off. I personally start to feel sad after multiple listenings.
back then men had to act and sing as much as possible as women
Finally a version with ample melancholy
Holy moly I am actually obsessed with this.
This must be the 5th time I've listened to this today!!!!
IT'S SO GOOD AND I'M A SHAKESPEARE NERD AND A TWELFTH NIGHT IS MY FAVE!!!!
nice pride flag!
*all the gays flocking to twelfth night cause it's so gay*
Same here !
Brilliant isnt it. His brother wasnt bad either. 3 x for me today, I saw the light - todd rundgren
Haunting but beautiful at the same time
I love the rather disembodied sound of Deller's coutertenor voice, his rendering is perfection, qnd always makes me want to reread Twelfth Night.
We are prepared for life, like a child's song. Time, wind and rain passing and do not stop. In other words, storms and lulls ... and then death. Extremely beautiful!
"Kiedym był chłopcem beztroskim i miłym,
Choć deszcze i wiatry, choć wiatr i deszcz,
Błazeńskie sprawki zabawą mi były,
Bo deszcz deszczem deszczy - tak w koło dzień w dzień.
A gdym osiągnął już swój wiek dojrzały,
Choć deszcze i wiatry, choć wiatr i deszcz,
Jak przed łotrzykiem drzwi się zamykały,
Bo deszcz deszczem deszczy - tak w koło dzień w dzień.
A gdy w małżeński, zgubo, związek wszedłem,
Choć deszcze i wiatry, choć wiatr i deszcz,
Już moja mina zupełnie mi zrzedła,
Bo deszcz deszczem deszczy - tak w koło dzień w dzień.
A gdy wieczorem kładłem się do łóżka,
Choć deszcze i wiatry, choć wiatr i deszcz,
Głowę pijaną ćmiła faramuszka,
Bo deszcz deszczem deszczy - tak w koło dzień w dzień.
Dawno już temu, jak ziemia stworzona,
Choć deszcze i wiatry, choć wiatr i deszcz,
A nam cóż o to? Komedia skończona,
Grać ją będziemy tak w koło dzień w dzień!".

Grâce et beauté : Deller chante dans le vent et la pluie ainsi qu'un oiseau magnifique.
Fantastic! I grew up listening to A. Deller singing ! Lucky me! Not many that can produce such...
He was my family's go-to guy at Christmas growing up. Wonderful memories. Glad to find him again on YT.
Impossible de s'en lasser... Merci M. Deller.
I just finished listening to a reading of the Twelfth Night. Such a good song to end on! I love it so much.
I really got chills from my scalp to down my arms while listening. Thank you!
Seems the second the last stanza was skipped.
"But when I cam unto my beds,
Whit hey, ho, etc,
With toss-pots still had drunken heads,
For the rain, etc."
I couldn't help but notice the odd minute of silence at the end. It's because there's a section of the song missing before the last verse:
But when I came unto my beds,
With hey, ho, the wind and the rain,
With tosspots still had drunken heads,
For the rain, it raineth every day.
No idea why it was cut here.
Idk why but this is terrifying and beautiful at the same time
Derp Gaming do you know what the meaning of this song could be?
@@Art-zp1qg not really
@@Art-zp1qg Its about the stages that men go through in their lives. The "wind and the rain" suggest the difficulties of life are always with you. Feste was the only one with self-knowledge throughout the play from beginning to the end. In the last stanza, he draws the attention of the audience to the line between reality and illusion. He reminds them that they've been watching a play, but real life (the life outside) doesn't resemble the plays you see. Life is cruel, full of unpleasant facts. People do not survive shipwrecks like Viola and Sebastian. People can't marry the people they really love. In some sense, the facts of life has to be endured, we can't escape them. Because of this reason the players are there to "strive to please you every day". In a way, the clown reminds you that it can be repeated anytime, and that whatever happened is not really the end.
I think it's the falsetto mixed with the lack of accompaniment--add in the echo and haunting, lilting melody and there ya go.
It is..... The same exact thought
Exquisite performance !
sang at this tempo and a capella the song hints at echoes of the XIV century profane styles or even as a faster air from some older Gregorian chants
The fool in Lear also sings a verse of this during the storm.
Beautiful
Perfect rendering!
This is so beautiful!
Shakespeare famously took inspiration for his writing from the weather forecasts of southern England
When that I was but a little tiny boy,
With a heigh-ho, the wind and the rain,
A foolish thing was but a toy,
And the rain it raineth every day,
With a heigh-ho, the wind and the rain,
And the rain it raineth every day.
But when I came to man's estate,
'Gainst knaves and thieves men shut their gate,
(refrain)
But when I came, alas! to wive,
By swaggering I could never thrive,
(refrain)
And when I came unto my bed,
With toss-pots still had drunken heads,
(refrain)
A great while ago the world begun,
But that's all one, our play is done,
And we'll strive to please you every day.
Thanks. this is sublime.
Great stuff! We learned this in grade school. A real favorite!
Anyone else here from Overly Sarcastic Productions?
Yep, Red has a knack for picking ending songs
That's me😂
I wish they didn't use the garbage format that is tropes, but oh well
Yes lol
WHAT A PIECE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
iT IS A GOD WHO SING!
So beautiful. :)
Who here is listening to this and starting to get images of the end credits to Blackadder II??
this song really touching.
I’m not a very big fan of Shakespeare, nor do I know if Twelfth Night is a play, story, etc. but I really enjoy this song, which is surprising since this isn’t a genre I thought I’d enjoy. Does anyone know any songs similar to this? I’d appreciate it.
Well, there is Percy's Song by Bob Dylan. Obviously inspired by this song.
Jesus Loves u guys
Why it go hard tho

Super A
Fabulously, I hope.
Falsetto bay bee!

@@marcelinecorbin1257 oh lmao we ended up not even doing this play
@@kingrat9741 That's too bad. If it's any comfort, not many people can sing like Mr. D., so nothing to be upset over.

Merci, Françoise! N'étions-nous pas ensemble à Sénanque quand nous l'avons écouté?
I'm looking for the song from "As you loie it" sung by Deller Ty for informations :)
Beautiful.... Whose composition is it?
This is more special for me.
Do you know who wrote the melody? Or is it a folk melody?
shakespeare
I presume that was meant to be a joke, but just in case ... Shakespeare wrote the words, not the music. I'm trying to find out who wrote the tune, or whether it's a folk tune. It's a serious question, and I'd appreciate a serious response.
Dave Rado I was being serious. but now I better understand your question, maybe you should have worded your it better.
It seems clear to me - melody means the same thing as tune. Anyway please could someone who knows who wrote the melody, or whether it's a folk melody, reply to my question?
Many thanks for that information - much appreciated; but does anyone know the name of the folk song or folk tune that the melody in this recording was derived from?
Does anyone have the sheet music for this?
There is literally no music in this
There is only a voice
Original Guy Yeah, I was looking for a vocal transcription for a more precise approach to the song... Plenty of songs are written down as only vocal lines, especially in early music.
@@AlihobG
Oh sorry
