Hayley Westenra - never say goodbye

[Sheepishpat]

Her voice is so lovely and clear :')

[samueljyap]

The voice and the melody begins to haunt you after a while. Hayley is a pure gift of God with her pure angelic voice. Hearing her makes one believe that there is Someone out there from where all this beauty comes from... Laus Deo!

[pug2able]

A voice that grabs your soul, even if you haven't got one. She sings to your heart.

[mattminich]

princess we will never say good by.

[rickytutaan]

1) PAVANE FOR A DEAD PRINCESS

2) THE LAMP IS LOW

3) AURARIAN DANCE

4) NEVER SAY GOODBYE

are there anymore out there?!??!?!

[yaloomail]

This is one of those beautiful songs that reaches into your heart and won't let go. And what sentimental stiring lyrics that brings tears to the eyes...

[blueearthgirl]

Amazing voice, sweet and clear xo

[smexybabe10]

Haley Westenra have a beautiful voice and make the sweetest song i have ever heard stuff justin beiber and his love songs... well their allright but hayley makes sweeter song than justin hahahaha lol.... :D

[bocaladybrkr]

My music choices are shared on my FB website with many countries in the world. It is amazing to think one would not share something he has a love and passion for, yes?

[CheesyDishes]

such an awesome song

her voice is unbelievably amazing

[BellaOlimdo]

I love her voice!!

[moira3105]

played this at my love funeral along with the maurio love song

[stryfe1000]

i love you babe

[buddz1960]

One of my favourites from a voice of an angel

[OnePeopleOneChina]

Btw, beautiful song (Pavane for a Dead Princes by Maurice Ravel), beautiful singer, and beautiful voice!

[OnePeopleOneChina]

Where is Hayley Westenra from? I believe her name is pronounced Ves-ten-Ra with a gutteral "R" - very difficult for many, especialy non-European people, to pronounce. Westeria, Westenya, or Westenia would be a lot easier.

[bookloverholic]

@OnePeopleOneChina

shes from new zealand and its westenra i believe not with a v

[jayah2007]

@OnePeopleOneChina New Zealand

[CLOWNJONES]

tia epececillo would u like to by an old wings?

[turretguy1011]

She has an amazing voice

[MrMailtube1]

amazing song and voice !! thank you 11

[MissRosmarin]

Beautiful song!!!!

[tiadepececillo]

When i listen to her songs,I feel like flying over clouds!!! AMAZING!!!!!!

[kabis301]

Love it

[EAC61CARDIFF]

It's an amazing song - that sometimes makes me cry but nevertheless is amazing !!

[eiendeeai]

I always wondered what "Pavane pour une infante défunte" would sound like if sung. It's beautiful.

[06sebas06]

This is or based on 'Maurice Ravel - Pavane for Dead Princess ' I assume?

[jayah2007]

@06sebas06 Yep

[aquangel1290]

Pure was the first CD i ever owned. I loved it and still do. Hayley never ceases to amaze me.

[qwdfghbroo]

this is her best song, by far,

[MultiAlison10]

amazing song playyed it at my mums funeral x

[EAC61CARDIFF]

@MultiAlison10

It is an amazing song isnt it - when my Father (who lived in Oz and me in the UK) told me he was dying I knew I wanted to choose a song to be played at his funeral and this is the song that I also chose - that was in August 2004

[robibm2003]

Phenomenal. The production is total ear candy, too.

[jonesthephones]

Beautiful track - Let's hope that Hayley's future recordings are as sympathetic as this one and don't become overproduced, as has happened to some other young singing prodigies.Thanks for posting this

[MN19971012]

Blissful!! I am in heaven....

[51hereiam]

Discovered her by pure chance on a ...."japanese clip track ! ...

She is adored in Japan ...

[TrashCanManDK]

Hayley has a truely devine voice. A shame most people don´t know about her :(

[superduperstar44]

Is this tune similar to pavane for a princess?

[kermitefrog64]

This is so beautiful and so is the message.

[Iluvcelticwoman12]

I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!!

[Irubio100]

her voice was so touching, so soft...

[cantforgetyou]

A very good song. I know the melody from a 'trance song'. I think that this is the original.

[terriemma84]

this was played at my grandads funeral, and its a beautiful song x

[amyblue83]

So sweet & sorrowful song... love it!

[kardancer1]

This song is exactly how I have been feeling for the past seven months "I'm praying for miracle". This song is beautiful. Thank You Haley. your voice is stunning.

[lilsaprano123]

Do you think this song would be good for a singing competition - I am 12. thank you

[cosmiclatte]

@lilsaprano123 It's hard to know for sure without actually hearing you sing it, but my guess would be yes. Judging by your user name, I'm assuming your voice type is similar to Hayley's (she also is a soprano), so you'd be in a good position to put your own feelings into the piece without worrying about having to sing too low or even too high: This song probably could be sung quite well in this key, even by a high alto. It's beautiful but not overly complicated. I'd say, go for it. Good luck!

[irinna881]

its amazing, angelic voice

[21charlie21pepper]

absolutely beautiful. will have it at my funeral.

[InnocenceGuardian]

oh my god... it's almost too beautiful o.O

[olympicnic]

utterly enchanting

[kirillzapple]

I never seen an ocean like this - ocean of gold :-))

[jjjjjbbbbbkkkkk]

Beautiful song and a beautiful voice..

[WeeWyllie]

Good Heavens! Wherever do you get the notion that I place TW on a pedestal? This is not something I would do to anyone (including HW, and hence, my former comment) - let alone a rutting satyr whom an obsequent and slavish public follows like a deity for no reason other than he can drop a ball into a tin cup using a series of sticks!  What a momentous waste of time!

It's just that it is rather unwise to see someone as an angel simply because of a pretty appearance and a fetching voice!

[penguinfox529]

@WeeWyllie: we are not to judge others, its either you praise others, or you do not say anything at all. You do not put others low and judge them as terrible people.

[WeeWyllie]

@penguinfox529 -- With all respect, this is an abysmally silly thing to say. Of course we judge others by what they say and do! And this is surely fully justified!

[penguinfox529]

We do not judge others, only God can. If you are not a Christian, I don't force you to believe me, but God will not like how you behave like that. You never say terrible comments about others.

[WeeWyllie]

@penguinfox529 : Oh dear!

[penguinfox529]

Ok, I understand that you do now agree, I don't force you to. It's all that I don't want to argue.

[WeeWyllie]

Well, BH, what vitriol! Tiger is a man with a set of weaknesses, and who is without these? Can you imagine the temptations he was faced with? But the point is, listen to Hayley, enjoy her wonderful voice, but I'd strongly suggest that we should avoid placing her on a pedestal, as few - if any - humans can inhabit such a spot!

[suzakupriestess7]

@BillyHewitt LOL why the hostitlity?

[SaturnGirlDark13]

@BillyHewitt so true. bravoooooooooooooooooooooo

[TakumiSoldier]

Let me say this;

Her song is my life and our life.

[647trinity]

went to see her in london she was fantastic

[peterindistantland]

I love her voice but it seems Hayley hasn't done much after the album Treasure. I guess she'll never have a hit like "Pure" again.

[trichoone]

do you know i fear that may be true .

[TakumiSoldier]

I'm sorry but that's not true.

She is already classic.

I would dedicate my life to her popularity.

[wvm521227]

@trichoone her christmas alum is great!

[peaslovecats]

@trichoone I fear that too. She's such a wonderful singer. it would a shame if she suddenly stopped recording her voice. I know she is no longer apart from the Celtic Woman.

[rynerich]

@peaslovecats Hayley is working on a new album to be released i October 2010. The new, as of yet untitled album, will be recorded with Ennio Morricone's orchestra in Rome and will feature new songs written by Morricone for Hayley as well as some of his best known film compositions of the last 50 years.

[Muggar62]

@rynerich WOW - the teaming of two legends!

[klhk1115]

@trichoone

please don't come ture....I am waiting for her next album/./

[ipaythursday]

peterindistantland:

Hayley may 'never have a hit like Pure again', but then again she is only 22 and have plenty of time ahead of her.

[grrrlshapedthing]

@peterindistantland she's only 24 let her have a chance to do those things we need to do then she has plenty of years ahead of her!!

[erginakif]

Oh... Ravel???

[geor4569]

very nice :)

[EvilVickidavamp]

I love Hayley's voice is so wounderful and her voice and songs make me wanna cry

[TheIevuze]

poor M. Ravel..what a nonsense she made from his composition

[centmillevolts]

do tell thelevuze. I am interested in your opinion

[cwirec]

anioł to za mało!!!

[xelasc]

an angel singing like an angel

[kermitefrog64]

This is one of those beautiful songs that reaches into your heart and won't let go. And what sentimental stiring lyrics that brings tears to the eyes.

[flutelover0307]

this is the same music as ravel's Pavane pour une infante defunte.

[t6adams]

wow

[Johno1863]

I  AM HAYLEYCRAZY . . .

[SongMaster2010]

mee tooooo!!

[masterjay271]

very good singer

[shaphoofd]

I love haylay's voice. Hope she will be singing for a long time.

But this clip sucks.

[scritti]

What's wrong with shutting your eyes then.

[shaphoofd]

noting, every time I listen this song I wont watch the clip

but I tink the whole point of making a clip is making the ones who listening also want to watch...

[travelmale]

Lovely song and Hayley Westenra has a beautiful voice.

[SabakuNoRetard]

My mother loved this song,she used to like me singing it to her.I just wish I was brave enough to sing it to her one last time before I couldnt anymore.

Hayley's voice is beautiful.

[animalpals]

aww, bless you, im sorry you couldnt :( xxx

[MrGypsyjay]

Haley is magic; her songs are soothing and stirring at the same time. Truly amazing.

[todeszeichen00]

This voice is like the beautiful moon's rays touching your skin,

like a gently breeze in your hair,

lovely it is.

[kissandreamelinda]

I love this song, too :) Touching :(

[girl7th]

You know what? Since that we have no idea who Hayley is, but she become so hot at one night, all in a sudden, tickets

all sold out , leave only regrets for me.

All I can do is went to the records store grab her albums, a voice was kissed by God, so beautiful and soothing, hate my English is so poor not enough to express

my feeling for her.

[girl7th]

It may surprise all you guys that Hayley can sing in Chinese and it's really good.

Go see it for yourself. look for this

" Hayley Westenra The Moon Represent

My Heart " 月亮代表我的心

[angel1446]

thank you for the tip, and yes she is great even on chinese. But I cant say I am surpriced that she sings that well on chinese. she has a God given gift, her beautiful voice :)

[girl7th]

Yes, Hayley is really gifted and talented in

languages and everything. She has recorded several singles in Japanese and I believe her pronunciation must be

accurate as she can sing in Chinese.

Most of the Taiwanese never known her

till that day, so do I. We're so eager to know who she is, Hayley will hold a concert in Taipei on Oct 3rd, there's only

1000+ people got the chance to meet her.

[zikfriend]

Dear Helen Westenra when I heard the song as sita norieciau you padainuot back Anre Bocelli Vivo Per Lei Song, Thou art my star, the sun, the world is meaningless without you, love does not exist without you, you are the world's railway, you Dieive

[asiorek27]

Uwielbiam ten głos!!!

Serdecznie pozdrawiam

[ledipo]

this girl is incrivel - fantastic voice.

congratulations.

God Bless you !

[Emmyfan94]

OMG!!!! I LOVE this song!!!!

[mladenninic]

aweeeeesome hun :)

[remifasolla123]

reminds me of my love.. love u meimei ^^

[PedroSalinasV]

it's just a copy of pavane pour une infante défunte of maurice ravel !!! such of copy, but she has a good voice.

Es solo una copia de pavane pour une infante défunte de maurice ravel, pero con letra, aunque ella tiene buena voz, es solo una copia de las obras de ravel.

[cristipale]

me gusta mucho esta cancion

[ian4fun]

simply, just simply reminds me of my beautiful Sarah...SJH...why did you have to go?...we can make it work as I always promised...just listen to the words and realise how I feel about you

[purplecarrot123]

at my primary school they used to play this in most assemblies, and i loved it. i want to buy this on itunes, but i've used up all my money lol.

[karmagirl212]

I also love when she sings Dark Waltz. Her voice is soooo beautiful! I've never heard angels sings, but if they could, they would sound like her...

[charmyvonne]

It's sad yet beautiful.

Thanks for sharing.

Yvonne

[jcdjddtos]

wow... mammamia...

[picturegirl1995]

this song is beautifull..luv it..♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

[Kev1nt]

by Hayley standard this singing is not the best.

[Caponel14]

spectaculos

[tillyamber02]

I Love you x x x will forever love you

Goodbye is the Hardest thing ever when its the last thing you want. :o(

[andrewefitzpatrick]

i love haley! she is one of the few i follow from over seas (im from usa) with her voice so beautiful! some of her song are in another language that i dont understand! just to hear her voice is breath taking!

[johnjamesmoses]

Hi Andrew, Hayley is from New Zealand so the language you are reffering to is most likely Maori, She sings Pokarekare Ana beautifully, and you may hear her sing our New Zealand anthem first in Maori, then English .Yes her voice is breath taking

[liseouellette45]

Hayley sing like an angel. This song it's so beautiful.  Thank you.

[ijusthavefun]

definitely one of my favorite songs. It is just wonderful to relax and just listen to some great music =)

[audgeyp]

You're either born with the right set of pipes or you're not. You can train all you like but it won't do any good if you don't have the right pipes. Hayley Westenra definitely has them.

[Dreamerf11]

really encouraging, nice. >P

[audgeyp]

I'm sorry, did I offend you?

I was merely pointing out what an extraordinary, out-of-this-world voice Hayley has.

[1gummybearkisses1]

I agree with you 100%

[motorider46]

ho i brividiiiiiiiiiiii T.T

è stupenda...come tutte le sue canzoni *.*

[twilightfanvivi]

she sings so beautiful

[juguetemalo06]

es la voz mas hermosa que hay en el mundo y tambien su cara no tiene igual que todos los dias de su vida sean tan hermosos como su voz

[lazyisa]

I know Sissel.I think Sissel and Hayley Westernre are just as brilliant.I loved it when Sissel did vocals in Titanic but Hayley also has an angelic voice.She reminded me of Sissel too.

[AKVideography]

This is Pavane pour un infante defunt by Maurice Ravel!

[Widze36]

wonderful video:))

[xstayxbeautifulx]

Absolutely love this song, she has such an amazing voice! Can't wait to go see her in march, will be an amazing concert!

[listener16214]

Do you know if this concert includes the U. S.

[xstayxbeautifulx]

I don't think it does, but you can check her website to make sure I could be wrong.

[kermitefrog64]

This song just grabs you by the heart and doesn't let go. It is so beautiful it brings tears to my eyes.

[baulkweon]

by the way, the girl in the vid is shit-ugly

[baulkweon]

there should've been haley in here. btw, if you like this song, you might also like dark waltz. i mean the voice is simply melts in your heart. just my opinion.

[baulkweon]

this is heart-bleedingly, brain-wreckingly beautiful song. i'd kill someone to hear this song everyday.

[baulkweon]

15 year old voice sing like this? amazing what you can do at such age when you love what you do.

[asj7773]

Warm, lovely voice. Great video.

[stilostan]

Simply Stunning..............

[wolfbrother0]

A truely moveing song

[12soccergirl]

No she was 15

[iphone097]

太美了

[Gregouille45]

我也想了

I think so =)

[tesujix]

sorry, i am wrong, this great song is from Album Pure 2004. so, if she were born in 1987 her age would have been just 17 ! indescribable genuine voice !!

[tesujix]

about 20 yrs

[RemMarkula]

Do you know how old she ids in this video?

[ipaythursday]

Hayley is not in this video. Hayley was 15 when this song was recorded.

[Milnestreet]

it was the first song that I heard from Haley Westenra. You don't hear many songs like this one and when sung by Haley W it is so moving.

[belindacoles1983]

We played this song at my Nans funeral, we had never heard it before finding it online - it is such a beautiful song and the words are so beautiful and true. There wasn't a dry eye in the church.

[trichoone]

its a beautiful song and i hope when hearing it again it brings back nice memories of your Nan - trichoone

[RGPDIGITAL]

Thank you for This.

[Casualtylover]

Good song...random video...

[martinbeco]

The first time I heard this song I cried. It is the most beautiful song I have heard in the last 10 years or so (sung by a woman. Hailley's voice is angellical. I could hear her every day, without ever getting tired. I like most of her songs. But this one and Amazing grace are her best.

[ViEdHanu23]

it made me cry.

[thesherringtons]

Just beautiful.. nuff sed

[naje]

angelic voice...maybe some may try "pavane for a dead princess", this song was orginally composed by maurice ravel.

[wfishsbcglobalnet]

Beautiful Voice! I'd love to hear her sing about the precious Love of Jesus!

[timendedbeforeigotit]

For some reason...I see this as a bittersweet song sung at graduation.

[femalephantomdimes5]

This song seems to paint my sorrows with perfect accuracy. Saying goodbye is a terrible yet unavoidable event. It's even worse when you know that you won't see the one you love again any time soon.

[linneamae]

We played this song for our 17 day old grandaughter as she slowly passed over, the words in this song expressed every emotion we felt, In loving memory of our Darling Linnea Louise Mae Baillie.

[trichoone]

that is very sad having four Grandchildren of my own i can imagine what terrible sadness that would have brought to you and your family and i hope in some way the song brings back treasured memories of Her RIP Linnea Louise Mae
