  • Do u no where I can find the sheet music for it?

  • I used to play this song, but then i took an arrow to the knee...

  • Hmm, this is a rare arrangement in that it uses the minor scale. Usually it's in the Dorian mode and the tune's original version is that way, I think. This is a beautiful, sensitive performance anyway.

  • this song reminds me of lord of the rings :O

  • can play this on guitare :)

  • @musix1freak Can spell guitar :) haha just playing mate me too its a lovely piece.

  • @811chelseafc sry i'm german ;)

  • @musix1freak well i imagine your german's much better than mine and if i make any mistakes feel free to correct me ;) haha

  • I just cannot find out the meaning of living, who can tell me? I just kinda sad and this song also.....

  • @izurite

    42. the fact that it makes no sense is the answer in itself.

  • i don't know why, but i feel like a lil' shit while listening to this :(

  • How can anyone dislike this song?

  • thumps up if u can play this but just not as gud!!

  • Greensleeves was originally in Dorian mode and thisis done in in the minor key. Although it makes it more moody in the vein of the video, I prefer Dorian.

  • @1Whitetrashkid yes its G minor

  • Hermoso

  • Beautiful version, bookmarked so I can hear it whenever I want. Thank you.

    tadhg

  • I can't stop listening to this song. This reminds Me of My childhood...

  • and you saw an epic song with the epic graphics of skyrim :DD

  • This make me feel so bad...

  • anyone know what key this is in?

  • @stjamesparky I'm pretty sure it's in G minor... That's what I play it in.

  • beautiful 

  • Hey but this song is Jacques Brel. Dans le port d Amsterdam. Listen and you Will see It s a great song

  • 14 years of my life I looked for a song most beautiful and magnificent, now I FOUND it

  • The most disturbing series u would ever see

    Search For

    "THE GREAT DISASTERS"

  • wow, great video

    a lot of those photos look very very familiar, like southwest BC coast and cascade mountains? nice work my friend.

  • I'm learning to play this in guitar ensemble, and when I first started to play it well enough it sounded like this I could have sworn I heard it somewhere. I search this up now and listen to it, with the mystery of where I heard it still unsolvable. I love this song.

  • the pedophilia jingle <3...

  • Even thought it is no big deal when i hear this track i want to cry it is so wonderful and i ould like to know what short of ass....s disliked that song!!!!

  • FINALLY! i remember hearing this on one of those kids keyboards (and a bunch of other places) but never anywhere where i could look up what the name was. been in the back of my mind for ages. good to finally know what it's called and where i can find it when i want it.

  • @khajiit92  omg same ! :)

  • @khajiit92 have you heard the vocal version? i think its a lot better than just the music

  • I listened this music on my children's synthesizer wheh I was 3 or 4 years old... So, about 15 years ago. Happy days. But I still love this ballade in 2012...

  • TETRIS ! ! ! ! !  Magic Jewelry

  • This song can't fail to make me happy

  • I wish there was a tutorial on how to play this version :)

  • @TheKemico thumbs up if you love this track coz......here comes the tutorial title : Greensleeves - What Child Is This? (Christmas Carol) [Easy Piano Tutorial]

  • @00bones52 but it's about Henry VIII trying to seduce her I believe, which shouldn't sound as emotionally sad as this song (to me at least) does

  • i love this song and play it every day on guitar (:

  • WHEN I WAS ANGRY,I WILL LISTEN THIS SONG

  • @2:40 is that cloud Godzilla?

  • From 16th century

  • Beautiful! -3

  • so sad

  • wow I've been humming this song for months thot it was a Christmas song and think it mite be

  • @Iloveanimals8755 it wasn't written as a Christmas song, however an 1865 lyrical interpretation has made it one by default. Still able to use year-round however, since technically it isn't one

  • why does this song sound so sad?

  • @callum936 its a traditional english song about the beheaded Ann Boleyn...

    I got this info off a tv show...

  • @00bones52 pretty sure its written for a king a long tima ago, but not sure enough to not be mistaken;)

  • @panzorgoethe I actually got it from the office... Dwight was playing this in his recorder and said that is a traditional english melody (er song... Can't remember) about the beheaded ann boleyn then he started reading a book about a guy that cuts off kids fingers when the suck their thumbs...

  • The dislikers are probably Hong Kong Secondary School students, because this plays before every listening exam, Chinese and English alike, as the background music for the preparation time. Hong Kong exams are notorious for it's difficulty, so I guess that makes sense...

  • @quizzisation

    What?

  • @Hpyrr328 I just want to know what the hell Chinese kids had to do with anything.

  • @plasticweenis

    Me too!

  • this song want to learn us about fair judgment to the world how fair and pretty ~!!

  • we played this for our Christmas concert last year, I play trombone and we got the melody near the end with the trumpets

  • Thumbs up if you don't understand the potatoes comment

  • @DanLeadbetter look on page 9 of the comments

  • @DanLeadbetter But if this song /were/ a potato, it'd be a DAMN good potato.

  • @DanLeadbetter Not only do I not understand the Potatoes comment, I also don't understand your comment! :D lol

  • @DanLeadbetter I think it's just a jokey/memey thingy that someone somewhere on "teh intranets" started and it's been spreading like wildfire. I think it's making fun of terrible analogies that people come up with.

  • @yurismir1 Can't tell if you're a troll, or just plain stupid. Most likely a troll.

  • @SkylRR What Child Is This? is set to the tune of this song.

  • @SkylRR They're the same thing.

  • omg. Am i the only person who knew this song. but not know it's name?

  • @reddiver1234 nope. It's a fairly common tune that most people will recognise without actually knowing the name! but most people know someone who can name the tune after they have it hummed to.

  • i can play this on a piano, its very easy

  • @FreakySiso Easy and beautiful, the perfect combination.

  • Amazingg!!:D

    i love it!

    can you make a toturial for this song please?

    or upload a music sheet!:D

  • not originally, best guess is it was written by an unknown italian writer before 1580 (which was when it was finally registered) The Christmas tune What child is this was written in 1865 to the traditional tune of Greensleeves.

  • is this a christmas song?

  • i can play part of this song on flute

  • this is so awesome!!!! :)

  • I personally think the piano version is much prettier than the guitar version... But that's just me.

  • YES ! I FOUND IT <3

  • I ate way to much and needed something to relax me so I wouldn't throw it all back up...so I listened to this and it seems to be working xD

  • Greensleeves is beautiful! Listen to my version (posted above). You just may like it. =)

  • I bought the sheet music for about $3. It's not too difficult, and I've already begun practicing.

  • where can thee find thou's music music sheet?

  • @Haamidpianoman Thou may find this music in his website. Enter the performer's name in a search and find his website. I believe YouTube does not allow to post URL's here.

    I hope thine heart may be filled with content as thy fingers learns to play this piece.

  • @2007alexg marry, i shall visit this site immediately as thou shines good kindness! :)

  • @2007alexg Nobody knows who the original composer was, but the performer is listed in the description.

  • Wait, there are people who actually dislike this?

    Philistines.

  • @MyFavRGoldKittys

    Dude....the best best part of your high votes isn't that you earned them with the offer of potatoes; it's that you secretly earned them while using a really obscure Shakespeare reference. Well played!

  • i found home

  • i bet i wasn't the only guy that jizzed to this stolen song from gods ipod

  • Nice, Its very nice...

  • ahhhh now this really takes me back a thousand years

  • Ohhhmyygossshh.. So pretty. -3

  • Didn't Henry VIII supposedly compose this? It's so romantic and sensual, and full of love. Really amazing.

  • @Kpatable I know there is sheet music for this song because my friend has it. I am not sure were you can get it though. Sorry.

  • Also, does anyone know if there is sheet music for this arrangement? IT'S BEAUTIFUL and I would love to learn it <3

  • @Kpatable Yes, go down to a music shop and buy it!

  • David Nevue simply kills all other versions of Greensleeves. Outstanding, spine shivering piece of true art.

  • This song makes me wanna cry and laugh at the same time.

    If your not moved by this song check for a pulse.

  • great song. you retards need to learn to not take your own opinions so seriously... i swear to god, no one cares. if you really want to voice your meaningless opinions, get a blog (that no one will read). also, if you said this song was "inspirational" or "motivating" or "moving" or "deep" or "symbolic", kill yourself. i just want to listen to something once without some dumbass saying it was "inspirational". if you need inspiration from a song, die.

  • @travislpemberton "you retards need to learn to not take your own opinions so seriously..."

    Does that include you, or are you above the rest of society? Now, I don't want to start a pointless flame war, but calm down dude. There are different kinds of people on our planet, and not a single person hears a melody the same way. Some of us are more sensitive to music that, ironically, is moving. That, however, doesn't mean that anyone should kill themselves.

  • @travislpemberton so angry and uninspired.

  • @travislpemberton So hateful. Their comments really must be getting in your face.

  • of we can goto Kepler-22b we can start a new life

  • WOW sightly better than my exam version.... I was used to hate it....

    But NOW I'M FELL IN LOVE WITH IT!
