  • God she's gorgeous. NZ at its finest.

  • The scenes as 0:47 and 2:20 are the same ones! That's cheating!

  • oh god no matter what the song sounds like, the video is so annoying!

  • @Irisedpig It was for a japanese album if I remember correctly.

  • su koi..........i

  • I started listening to Hayley at age 4, and went to see a concert when I was 6. I love her music and I will never stop.

  • hahaha good music indeed, but this music video is really silly

  • I'M SINGING THIS SONG FOR MY NEXT PERFORMANCE NIGHT

    EXCELLENCE FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • oh god it's sounds like a eurovision song!

  • Not to be rude or anything, love the song, but really, don't you think the clothes changes a little bit too much? XP

  • @AspiringMadman yeah I think it's a terrible video. I've watched her 'Wuthering Heights' video too and I can honestly say she's a terrible actress! However, she's not an actress, she's a singer, and that's what's important. She has the most amazing voices I've ever heard, so I always listen instead of watch :P lol

  • like this song so much.

  • I am glad that youtube comes up with the playlist option, and my everyday playlist is Hayley Westenra's songs. Hayley, please come to Taiwan again !

  • Love this song from Hayley. Fantastic showcase of NZ in the background...good for those missing home.

  • I could sit and listen to Hayley all day and evening long, what a voice she has and pretty too!

  • She's so young in this video, so girlish! Hayley doesn't have to wear revealing clothes, or dance suggestively to show her talent: she doesn't have to. She just has to sing. Her voice is talented, no autotune : { Take notes Miley Cyrus.

  • Did you see how hard I've tried?

    Not to show the pain inside..

    Just as you walked away from me..:(..

  • ..Did you see how hard I've tried?

    Just as you walked away from me..:(

  • Good job, Westie.

  • A great example of New Zealands great talent!!

  • omgoodness. I want to marry Hayley Westenra. I don't care that I am 16... her voice makes me feel like I am sitting with the most beautiful girl in the world.

  • @tashkon i know what you mean, as when i was 16 and a certain song came along, i thought it was wrong, to long, for the girl that I didnt belong.

  • @tashkon Te, a Hate'a zna?

  • @tashkon You want to marry her, do you? Well get in line, buddy boy! I'm 22 and have been waiting longer! :-P

  • @01TheWarrior Well she has a very beautiful sister who is like 19 yo and sings like her :-D

  • @pocayama2 Sophie is not nearly as good as Hayley .

  • @01TheWarrior lol you guys....

  • @tashkon i agree with ya haha... i wanna marry her to... she is werry pretty and her voice kills me a little every time i listen to her music:o

  • @tashkon ooookay.

  • @tashkon lol i wanted to meet her ever since i got a game with her voice. And i was like 8 back then

  • i love this song... but video looks like it's from the early 90s...... LOVE YOU HALEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Wikepedia: " She sings songs in a number of languages, including English, Māori, Italian, German, Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, Taiwanese, Irish, Welsh, Latin, and Quenya." Im very much sure she really is an angel...

  • A song for tonight with full moon..??

  • Wonderful song and performance !

  • my favourite :)

  • all i have tosay is brilliant

  • This song make someone cried that always listening.. : I

  • This song was not written for her, it was written by South African singer Nianell.

  • @uggelsome

    In your dreams this was written for Hayley by the songwriter as below and she sold over 2 million copies - Nianell is just an unknown who copied hope she paid copyrights to Hayley and Steve Winwood.

  • @christaleroux Wow you are truly ignorant. But rather than fight, I will educate you. Uggelsome is correct in his statement. My father has worked extensively with Nianell. She is a South African female singer/songwriter who has the fame equivalent to Celine Dion. She works with Sony records in South Africa hence why you have no heard her name in America. Record companies here refuse to market her due to them thinking that she is too old.

  • @uggelsome Discuss this with Steve Winwood a well known song writer and singer from the UK. He wrote the lyrics and the music of Who painted the moon black. Who painted the moon black is copyrighted to Steve Winwood and he is the only owner of this music.

  • Hayley isn't as famous as she should be, beacuse she ISN'T an attention-seeking wannabe who relies on tabloids to feed her celebrity-status (like most of the young female"singers" these days) -- she relies on her TALENT and INTEGRITY, which means it's a longer road, BUT she'll be around a lot longer than those one-minute-wonders (her career's been going nearly a decade already). Yay Hayley, good for you, U R a gorgeous gal & a great role model for young women everywhere!

  • This was written for Hayley by Steve Winwood. An English song writer. Hayley sings this the best Nianell does not even exist. ( Some one unknown from no where.)

  • @christaleroux ACTUALLY Nianell did write this song. She owns the copyright and has indeed made loads of money off of Haley singing this. Steve Winwood actually played the guitar parts and arranged the song that suited the talents of Haley. So yes, Steve Winwood owns the copyright to the arrangement of this song. However, Nianell gets paid in royalties everytime Haley sings this song. And Nianell is actually huge. She has the fame equivalent to Celine Dion.

  • One of Nianell's better songs. I think this is the song that made her famous.

  • @JamesThorb

    Not Nianell's song hope she paid copyrights to Steve Winwood and Hayley.

  • Lovely song. I really like this song..

    Wonder why Hayley doesn't get the fame, appreciation & acknowledgement which she truly deserves !?

    Anyway, guess that's the way it's meant to be.

    But well, that doesn't change the fact that Hayley has one of the most beautiful voices ever. She's a legend :-)

  • OMG look at the New Zealand landscape ;)

  • I love her so much. When I discover a new singer I always listen to them live and this one is a keeper. Her performances are always flawless. This song is wonderful but for some reason sound on my computer is delayed so it looks like she's not singing in synch with the lyrics but I know that's it really her voice. She is amazing.

  • OMG shes soo pretty and a good singer go hayley

  • realmente bonita ella y su voz!!

  • I wish this were on I-tunes!!!!

  • I love how the scene and her clothes keep changing.

  • what an amazing voice ........ went all goosey

  • The hayley version is more pure hearted than Nianell is more drama it all depends on the time of day

  • Nianell (South African Artist- Who wrote this song) is amazing and this song is equally stunning

  • Nianell wrote this song. She is from South Africa. Nianell is an awesome artist

  • she looks good with a hat!

  • 03 Sep 2010 - New International Dates Announced.... Catch Hayley LIVE in China and Taiwan this winter: Hayley will be perofming in Kaohsiung City, Taiwan, Shanghai Grand Theatre, China and the National Concert Hall, Taipei City,Taiwan . For further info and dates click on the events tab.

  • well us kiwis are pretty amazing you know lol Hayley is Kiwi (New Zealander too)

  • no one sings better than Hayley thank you very much

  • Who is Nianell -this was written for Hayley. She sold over 2 million copies.

  • @christaleroux : nianell is an S.A artist who sang this song way better than hayley

  • Can't believe no one credits Nianell!!!

  • i meet her last night in buxton

  • This is probably one the best pop videos I've ever seen. What a gifted young Christian artist!

  • Oh I'm coming back.

    I never left, my love. just went out for a burger.

  • beautiful voice...beautiful song...i love this song;)

  • beautiful song, i love her voice;)

  • Hayley all the way, great beauty, great song, great singing, great voice...

  • she simply takes my breath away.... every time i hear her sing i die a little!!!

  • Nianell from South Africa wrote and performed this song! Wish she will be credited for this!

  • @rethas1 yeah can u believe it??

  • @deanphoenix86 - Its sad!! I still think Nianel signs it better :)

  • @rethas1 original is always best...

  • Dear Hayley

    You are so CUTE !!!

    This song is sweeet and neet.......

    It shows Your light side and sensitive side ..ALL at the same time

    ...You sure know how to FLIRT !!!!

    LOVE Ya

  • The best song of all time...

  • "just as you walked away from me " i would never walk away from her i would treat her like a queen for the rest of my llie

  • It may be an easily-written song, or even a horrible one, but who really gives a damn? She's a beautiful person with an angelic voice (I personally think she looks cute in the hat outfit). That's all that really matters...isn't it?

  • did you guys know that this song was written by a lady called nianell from Namibia? search for "nianell who painted the moon"

  • I remember this song...

    I think it was in 2003??

    idk, I loved it... and still do...

  • BEAUTIFUL SONG

  • i love this song.. and the way she sways...

  • Very sweet. Lovely in fact, but how about some production values? That background is ridiculous--a mural of a fjord on a wall, and you can see the corners of the room. That's as cheezy as on the TV show Bonanza, when they would shoot outdoor scenes on a soundstage and the horses' hooves made a clopping sound and the actors cast shadows on sky backgrounds LOL

  • @rickcee Why? "Production value's" just gets in the way. Listening to Hayley's voice is enough.

  • @rickcee hahahahha

  • @rickcee the scene on the wall is SUPPOSED to look like a room o.0

  • @sevlover93 No duh. Get a sense of humor. Anyway, she's adorable.

  • @rickcee shes an amazing singer :) ever heard her songs dark waltz and summer rain? two of my favorites!

  • Wow. She sure doesn't look the same as when she was still with Celtic Woman o.o

  • The song was written by a girl called Nianell from Namibië. Her other stuff is also great

  • Awesome song! Please check out our version of this song :)

  • Very nice video, I didn't know her, lovely song and voice. Thanks for posting...

  • Strange. I first found Hayley by accident. I went to hear Bocceli and Vivo per Lei in Canada (on here). Hayley did it with him. omg. Once you hear this girl sing, you are a fan forever. You have to find MORE. She looks angellic, and once you hear her sing, you know she is. It seems she has been all over the world, but we don't see much of her here. Whoever put her on you-tube, thank you so much.

  • okay

  • On April 10,1987 God Created Hayley an Angel among us. Happy belated 23rd Birthday Hayley. May you continue to Bless us with your Beautiful Voice.

  • @perpetual61 When i was reading your comment i stay thrilled! guy you know how to make beautiful words! congratulations i think this too of her.

  • 5 star.

  • god she is so sexy

  • Where i can download this music?

  • @Radiatagirl12 Amazon or itunes.

  • this song used to make me cry

  • Hayley`s voice paints a beautiful picture ...

  • how old was she when she sang this?

  • yep, i thought the same thing.  I am thinking of singing bright eyes in a competition, do you think this is better.

  • @lilsaprano123 Stick with Bright Eyes because everyone know's it better. Unless you're particularly fond of this song :)

  • Great song!

    Check out Hallelujah by Quinten Broid, also very good!

  • one of my favourite songs...she is so good...who eber composed this song has a good sense of feelings...

  • lovelee song (L).

  • What an angel!!!

  • Wow...what a beautiful song...

  • This is a beautiful song and Hayley`s lovely voice keeps you hanging onto every word . Just BEAUTIFUL ...

  • @Johno1863 totaly agree. ive just listened to this song 4 times, and im going to play it again..she is so good....

  • She was around 16 in this video, yet with such a controlled voice, how beautifully sung. I was thinking she looks too happy but she has such a pretty smile :)

  • it supposed to be a sad song....

  • I've watched this video like 4 times, and I never realized that this is a really lazy music video. But you know what? It works. And it's not why I'm here.

  • she's pretty and has a beautiful voice. I could probably get a voice like hers if I practice a lot but it's going to take a long time.

    By the way old is she? :)

  • No doubt training will bring out the most your voice has to offer. But in the end, you would also need to be blessed as Hayley.

    Hayley turned 22 in April '09.

  • She was 16 when she recorded that. She's in her early 20's now.

  • Should be 22 yrs old :).

  • *love eyes*

  • I love this song, so much,it completely explains the emptiness and lost-ness felt when someone you love leave you - it is like colour is zapped out. However, I don't think this is that great for a music video, I think it's too light behind her... It would've een better - in my opinion - with a dark background to match the songs lyrics

  • I agree with you. i posted a comment a while ago stating my opinion that she almost looks too happy. her expression doesn't match her lyrics. I love her though.

  • I agree with you there as well, she doesn't look heartbroken as the song suggests. But, yeah, I think she's fantastic too!

  • It's good, I have to agree.

    But still, very predictable lyrics. I could write those, sounds like a beginners text. Please, get better lyrics.

    Still awesome singing! <3

  • lovely face with a lovely voice

  • Love Hayley`s album PURE and even now when i play it ,it takes me a long time to get to the last track . Simply because i love to hear each song over and over. This track is a GEM ,love it...

  • Blame the dissonance on the director.

  • Do you know that i remember you? why? If I met you first, i were the first, what would happen? Time never go back...

  • i love it cause it shows kiwis can sing way tah go girl!

  • This song reminds me of the time when me and my sisters gathered near the CD machine and listened to this song while it was snowing outside. Sure bring back memories because this song is my absolute favorite in the CD. ^^

  • maybe she's been through a breakup as well & she uses laughter & happiness to hide her own pain.

  • I agree,

    How can we know another's pain unless we have walked a mile in their shoes?

  • I don't know the song, but I LOVE it!!!!

  • I'm no critic but she looks too happy. Her expression doesn't match the lyrics. I love Hayley though and think her voice can't be matched.

  • I do agree! She looks much to happy for this song, it is not a song of joy or happiness, it is talking about heart-break. Which we all have been there in some point of our lives, but beside the point, she looks too happy, and her dancing.. I think she could do a bit better with this video. But then again, she is only ninteen, let her learn....

  • Another beautiful song! Not too highpitched this time, but just as beautyful! A Delight to listen to...!!!

  • I love this song, it made me think of something very sad in my life, made me cry.
