Shenandoah ~ Sissel

From Sissel in Concert ~ All Good Things
I especially appreciate the violin and the heavy "thumps" at the back, and most of all the voice of Sissel, which make this my favourite adaptation of Shenandoah (more)

un angel cantando en esta tierra ,con esta cantante uno se puede dar cuenta cuan importante es tener una buena compania de promocion. sissel no se merece tener esta clase de manager. Un consejo " que se cambie a otro manager "

@fernando1959able maybe fairies are better kept hidden than to be made popular?

I'm very confused. I don't mean to be dumb, but why does she say she learned this on Norway? I thought this was an American folk song about the Shenandoah River... anyone know what's going on here?

[alexhkleung]

@rundustyrun1 it means that this song is so beautiful that even Norwegian fishermen would sing when they're longing home. This performance was also recorded in the States if I'm not mistaken

Sad. An angel voice but the only comments are ppl trying to put attention on themselves. Shut up and listen you are not that important believe me.

@MATT198509 LOL easy easy

What a beautiful voice !! Impressed...thanks for sharing.

I'm a Taiwanese and had sung this song 15 years ago in chorus.

I'm deeply touched by this melody although... not really understand what's the real meaning of this song.

The song is an old American song, many stories behind it.

It reminds me the most of a Confederate soldier longing

to go home to his life and love in Virginia.

@rundustyrun1 Why would she go all the way to America to learn a song? I learnt many songs back home in Sweden when I lived there but it wasn't only swedish songs...

AWESOME AWESOME !!!!!!

Matt - congratulations. Possibly the stupidest post I have ever read. Possibly people watched/listened to this and wanted to express themselves afterwards. What kind of world do you live in? Best of luck on thinking first and writing second.

Es una voz verdaderamente bella. Agradable siempre, una gran artista

[fernando1959able]

que mujer HERMOSA

[featrk1]

@rundustyrun1- I think everyone but you can understand why she learned this beautiful song in Norway. We should be proud as americans that other countries appreciate our Folk Songs.

I am an American red white and blue of 100% Norwegian ancestry.

I couldnt be prouder of both countries

@alexhkleung me parece interesante este comentario me parece que fuera de alguien muy cercano a sissel, yo solo puedo decir puedo contar con una sola mano a algun artista que tenga la calidad que tiene sissel.Los limite a la la vida privada de cada uno se la cada uno.han habido cantantes que fueron muy conocidos como cantante y su vida privada solo se sabia lo mas esencial o mas bien lo que el artista queria que se supiese. es un agrado eschuchar a sissel.

@jeanyeh1 Just came across your question. It is about a young man who has to leave Shenandoah Valley in Virginia, USA to fight in the Civil War and he hates to leave his place.
