Into the West - Lord of the Rings in Concert - Sibeal Hill

[grublet13]

I wouldn't have chosen Annie Lennox to sing this song either. This is the way this song was meant to be sung.

[Liam756]

by far the best version of this song, just beautiful, an unbelievable voice...

[ffnnmm100]

That was absolutely beautiful!

[Groka123]

I turned up the volume of my headphones....damn that was an amazing feeling! Keep up the great work!

[Liam756]

Just beautiful, amazing job.

[kunal110290]

this is better than the original, you should release a this commercially!

[kunal110290]

wow......enchanting

[evebibie]

who understand this movie ''the lord of the ring'' 

[CapricornBeast666]

When it come to LotR and the music one must feel when singing the vocal portions, it is rare to find anyone who can carry their own heart and fully let it flow through their own version of this particular song. This is your perfect rendition of YOUR heartfelt emotion into this beautiful piece. If there is any way to properly thank you for allowing LotR fans to view this masterpiece it is well in my efforts to say, "Nai i lissë Valaron tyë varyuva." á na márië, Sibeal.

[terpsichoreankat]

I love Annie Lenox but though her voice is amazing it's also rough on the chorus. Her notes aren't rounded and their left open at the end of each line. As a lullaby, Annie jolts me awake, as your presentation is controlled but still vibrant. You do need to push out with more power on "What can you see, on the horizon? why do the white gulls call?" It's closer to how I hear it as a vocalist. Thx!

[RisaK1]

You are great...but I am used to hearing this song with more power and energy...

[95mhc59]

i think that annie lennox's version is the most beautiful performence in the world

and i never change my mind :)

[elfumon187]

Ohhh man that voice gives me the chills all the way thru my spine! amazing voice! the voice of an angel better than the original version at the end of the movie! 0=)

[j0hnaboy]

just 1 question Sibeal did you sing May it be and if so and you have a vid please post it that would be nice

[LegalizeTheDope]

Hey, it's a beautiful, inspirational song. I sing it, and my voice is not nearly as easy on the ears. Yet I still cry ;). I envy you for your opportunity.

[Mikosch2]

This makes me struggle to find words...

I've very seldomly seen and heard something so beautiful... simply the perfect voice for this song (which I would NOT actually say about Annie Lennox) I definitely prefer this version It is... it is perfection. Brought me to tears.

[sibealhill]

@Mikosch2 Wow. Thank-you. Really. I'm deeply touched and honoured.

[nyssa38]

Dieses Lied ist so wunderschön. Es weckt in mir eine unendliche Traurigkeit aber tröstet mich zugleich.

[jovina89]

You have a different register than Annie Lennox, yet the song suits Sibeal well! I've never heard this before, but it's beautiful and touched me to tears - I also dedicated this song to someone very special who's not here anymore <3

[Jexhilarated]

I had this song played for my mothers funeral service - she also died of cancer...(today is her first death anniversary and its special that I found your version for the first time today) I wish I could sing like you - I cant at all :)...just to say that you sing so very beautifully and maybe I relate to the special emotion behind it. Blessings.

[PSOHfan92]

You have an amazing voice, just listening to this brought tears to my eyes, especially after reading the description because all of a sudden I started thinking about all the times I spent with my Uncle who also died of cancer in 2007; also you are beautiful and look stunning in that dress, I wish I had your figure and didn't have a bad throat because I love to sing

[JasonBourne535]

Annie Lennox much much much better!

[classmateofmine]

Brought tears to my eyes :). Thank you!

[Lafielx]

Beautiful. May your father rest in peace.

[lookingupatclouds]

There's such hope in your voice when you sing this. Just like the message is supposed to give.

[NancyMbWpg]

this was beautiful --loved the music and your great vocal ...lovely !!!

[sibealhill]

Thank-you everyone for your amazing comments. I'm blown away.

[ARCalpha]

hmmm i heard both versions now, first this one and than Annie´s Original again and i must say ... ijust prefer your version a little bit more ... your voice ist softer, with great emotions in it feels somhow better :) Your Doing a wonderful job!

[j0hnaboy]

far superior to the annie lennox version as this suits the feel and emotion of the film and books nicely done and a fantastic tribute to your father the lyrics would have given you some peace

[ThisIsAnthonyJames92]

Well. That was nothing less than (excuse the French) f*cking amazing. I preferred it to Annie Lennox's version. Compliments to the orchestra too!

[vedran156]

That was truly beautiful, amazing, spectacular... well you get the drift :) You made it your own and you would make Anne proud!

[MrFlyingscotsman1]

I Am A Great Lord Of The Rings Fan, Don't Take It As An Offence... I Just Don't Want Anyone To Ruin It -.-'

[sibealhill]

@MrFlyingscotsman1 I understand your patriotism. But there is not much I can do when I am hired to sing at a Lord of the Rings concert. Annie cannot sing at all of them, so I guess we all just do our best. ;-)

[MrFlyingscotsman1]

@sibealhill Then Sing Them The Way Annie Sang .-.

[j0hnaboy]

@MrFlyingscotsman1 unless this fine lady is annie lennox then im afraid she aint gonna sing like her lol she aint on an episode of stars in they're eyes lol she's singing at the tolkien ensemble concert and emulating ( I think) an elven princess....think she did a bang up job if ya ask me ...keep it up Sibeal your doin a fine job

[TheLaughingGnomes]

@MrFlyingscotsman1

Annie was out of tune & ruined her live version at the Oscars , shit happens

[MrMazzmosis]

@MrFlyingscotsman1 Why does every word in your comment begin with a capital letter?

[MrFlyingscotsman1]

@MrMazzmosis No Idea... I Just Like It? xD

[MrFlyingscotsman1]

You Have A Fine Voice... But Plz.. Please!... Don't Sing Any Songs Made For Lord Of The Rings OR The Hobbit -.-' You're Ruining It.

[TK42138]

Great version and a nice dedication. Felt the ol bottom lip tremble listening to this after reading the description.

[Tom6093]

Very awesome !!! Anne would be impressed. This gave the chills.

[Squagliafrittata]

amazing song! and amazing voice. I'm speechless

[Advensys]

Love it !!! a french fan !

[Gooniesluver4eva]

I do think the world was like this once and I hope it will be again one day

[Luciferas1]

3:50 epic maestro

[calummorris1993]

Didn't know what I'd make of this as it's Annie's song.. But wow, you've made it your own and I appreciate that. Wonderful, truly wonderful.

[tunabuyukasar]

your voice can be nice.. but let only Annie sings this song pls :) u can sing any other songs

[Dakota2622]

HELLO! *blown away*

[pythonclaw]

Wow!! thr is a sweet stream of innocence in the voice.

[2011TREADSTONE]

OMG I'm a grown man, but the emotion of this had me choked up. Beautiful. Sung with such heart and conviction. This lady should sing on The Hobbit, if you're reading this Mr Jackson.

[sibealhill]

@2011TREADSTONE Thank-you so much. I'm touched and honoured.

[2011TREADSTONE]

@sibealhill Hi Sibeal, I didn't realise this was your channel! Lol You have an angelic voice bestowed upon you from Heaven my love, Beautiful,

[felathar1985]

@sibealhill Incredible... I'm wordless

[Snaefridurbjorg]

@2011TREADSTONE Sir Jackson actually ;)

[TheKiriru]

Wonderfull singing that touches.

[glitternagig]

i'm a great Annie Lennox fan, but You have made this song your own, not trying to be like anyone, you sang with your own emotion and your own voice, it is lovely and sad to listen to...

Thank you for sharing your gift and emotion...

Sean

[sibealhill]

@glitternagig - Thank-you so much for that beautiful comment. It touched me.

[BenignViewer]

I prefer Annie Lennox's original version, she sings it in a slightly higher register and Lennox's voice is, perhaps; harsher? I'm not sure what the right word to describe it is, but it suits the mourning tone of the song a little better for me. Nevertheless a stunning rendition, and (yours) Sibeal's softer tones bring a new life to this song. Thank you for performing and sharing.

[sibealhill]

@BenignViewer - Thank you. It is an honour for me even to be compared with Annie Lennox. :-)

[A7XMissVengeanceA7X]

beautiful! <3

[GothSeiDank]

Sauron made 14 YT-Accounts to dislike this video.

[DestructionFilmsINC]

03:47 look at him go !

[sibealhill]

@DestructionFilmsINC Yes, a very talented and passionate conductor from Belarus called Andrei Galanov.

[MrFlyingscotsman1]

@DestructionFilmsINC LMFAO Hilarious XD That's The Only Interesting Thing About This Video xD

[AnneLehaneSummers]

Amazing, I wish I could sing half the way you did. Not that I sing much...but your voice was just perfect for this song.

[VigisKane]

Absolutely beautiful, jolly good show

[sibealhill]

@VigisKane - Thank-you so much!

[heartpsalmist]

Soft and beautiful...sometimes, many times, "untrained" voices are the best...like yours.

Thank you

[sibealhill]

@heartpsalmist - Thank-you. That means alot to me.

[666Lawlieth]

Beautiful!

[icebiker3]

It is beautiful, and nicer than the newer upload. This was linked to in honor of two soldiers killed in the Big A this week. Comrades. Forever.

[sibealhill]

To all of you who have given me such lovely feedback, I have just recently uploaded a newer recording of this song from July 2011. The concert was on the same day as the terrible massacre in Norway, so I have posted it in dedication to all the victims and their families.

[Grutch]

All I can say is wow!... I'm in that crowd giving you a standing ovation!

[sibealhill]

@Grutch Thank-you so much!

[sibealhill]

Thank-you TheGuanche88. I'm flattered. But I do understand that not everyone likes it. I myself can hear many faults in it. I have sung most of my life, but have only started getting training recently. But I have gotten a lot better since 2009. That was my first ever professional experience.

[TheGuanche88]

@sibealhill

No need to thank me, thank you for uploading this.

I dont know much about professional singing, I just think it is a wonderful version of this song.

It would be great if you could do a new recording of this song someday :)

[OCButterfly99]

@sibealhill To hard on oneself. Great song and well done. And just a beginner. Nice job.

[TheGuanche88]

Better than the original. I like your voice more. And you look beautiful. Blond hair,and you would be a perfect Galadriel.

And wtf at 9 people not liking, get a life haters.

[yiartes]

Itis not a strong voice but she is singing very nice.. beautiful

[spike0i]

@TheMasterGouki: Jep... She moves and sings like an Elf... and i´m sure that I have seen some pointed Ears ;)

[sibealhill]

Thank-you, spike0i! It's so nice getting feedback!

[spike0i]

I saw her in Hamburg ... just wonderful !!!

[hemlkar]

[sibealhill]

Thanks! It's always so nice to get comments!

[LosDakawa]
