Greensleeves - Celtic Ladies 

And in 700 years they will still be listening to this haunting melody

Only 1400 AD kids will remember this.

Imagine writing a song so good that it stands the test of time

Henry VIII: *This song* Also Henry VIII: *marries Jane Seymour like a week later*

It's absolutely fascinating that this song sounds both happy and sad. Pure magic.

Her palms are sweaty, sleeves green, arms are heavy.

She really did put it on a sick beat

This song was published around 1580s. If you're listening this in 2022, you're a legend (442 years).

when my aunt vikki was still alive I lived with her and she sang this song to me every night. she was German so she had an accent but it was even more bueatiful then this song because of her German accent. she died last Christmas so everybody in my orchestra all agreed to play this song for me while I sing it in German.

greensleeves was all my joy greensleeves was my delight greensleeves is a catchy tune and nobody owns the copyright

I'm Japanese but I love this song. The melody makes me feel sad and calm at the same time.

I was a terribly sick kid. Through the fevers dreams, cold sweats, bouts of agony- one thing stuck with me.. My mom singing this song by my bedside. When I was 7, they said I only had a year to live- here I am 25 years later, king of the world. Couldn't have done it without her.

I think this story is Henry the 8th to Queen Anne. After they got married, she couldn't produce a son. She loved him but then she found out he had eyes for Jane, another woman. Her heart broke. Henry eventually framed and accused her of adultery with her musician and had her executed. They said she died with a smile on her face, free from her misery. 😢

What a lovely voice. It combines joy and sadness at the same time.

This song is in an ornate jewelry box I gave my wife a few decades ago, 39 years to be exact. Our daughter open it a few months ago and fell in love with the song.

"Your vows you've broken like my heart. Why did you so enrapture me? Now i remain in a world apart,but my heart remains in captivity." This line...It brought me into tears.

I played this song on my belly when I was pregnant with my son. He was born 6 weeks early..i played it in the NICU for him while he layed in his incubator. When he was a tiny baby and was being fussy, I'd play this song and he would instantly calm down. Hes 2.5 years old now. He's currently sick with the flu and has been miserable. He was fussing pretty bad. I am currently laying in bed with him with this song on repeat. It never, ever fails to calm him ❤️

Instead of quibbling over by whom and for what purpose it was written, why not simply accept it for what it is. One of the most beautiful, lasting melodies ever composed. Mr. Howard managed the perfect blend of imagery and music and deserves our praise.

*well my sleeves may be green but my lipstick's red*

Once in a lifetime we meet someone who touches our heart, mind and soul and marks us for the rest of our life, and this ancient time worn ballad describes perfectly the impact of such a rare encounter. I met my "Greensleeves" many moons ago "but my heart remains in captivity." Thankyou Celtic Ladies for this incredible rendition of this ancient and eternal song.

Anne Boleyn would had loved this fabulous rendition of Greensleeves.

Marvelous isn't it that a song nearly 500 years old still has our attention!

I was in between 3-4 years old when my mother used to whistle this song as my lullaby, together with the theme of titanic. Now I'm 22 years old, and I just recently find out this title while watching kdrama Mr. Sunshine. Such lonely yet soothing melody

I'm doing medieval history this year and me and some other kids will be singing this song in a few weeks. It's such a beautiful song!

This song has always made me feel sort of sad.

When my Nana was alive, she would sing this song to me almost every night. I enjoy this version purely because it sounds almost exactly like her. Mé Grá Tú, Seanmháthair. (I Love You, Grandmother in Gaelic)

My favourite Melody since I was very little ... I'm Green Sleeves Green Fingers a Gardener. lol Beautiful I walked up the Aisle to be Merried with my lovely Husband 27 years ago in 1996 Very Grateful for 29 years together and our Beautiful Children now. ❤🌻☘

First heard this song when I was grade six, now playing this song with my saxophone at the age of 69 and still love this song.

My father used to hum this melody to me as a baby. It's soothing and nostalgic.

We were one of the first in the neighborhood to have a home computer. Downloaded off Internet (before the WWW) Greensleeves. My 9 year old son fell in love with it, memorized the words and sang it even when he was in high school. He's in his 40's now and still loves it.

Does anyone else get teary watching this?

Greensleaves lyrics Alas, my love, you do me wrong To cast me off discourteously And I have loved you oh so long Delighting in your company Greensleeves was all my joy Greensleeves was my delight Greensleeves was my heart of gold And who but my lady Greensleeves If you intend to be this way It does the more enrapture me And even so I still remain A lover in captivity Greensleeves was all my joy Greensleeves was my delight Greensleeves was my heart of gold And who but my lady Greensleeves Greensleeves, now farewell, adieu God, I pray he will prosper thee For I am still thy lover true Come once again and love me Greensleeves was all my joy Greensleeves was my delight Greensleeves was my heart of gold And who but my lady Greensleeves

This is song is like 500 years old and that blows my mind

Beautiful song, beautiful voice.

The lyrics are very melancholic, BUT this wonderful melody calms my soul whenever I hear it... 🎶💖🎶

This song name randomly entered my head, and I didn't know why I knew this name as something special. Now that I've clicked, I am reminded and thank myself for coming here. Beautiful rendition. Truly excellent.

While the song is heavy with melancholy, it's always felt like a gentle hug to me. Comforting. ♡ I'll probably hum this as a lullaby to my children if I ever have any.

Queen Anne Bolein Brought Me Here... And she's refuse to go away now... listening over and over again... What I can do?

my mom used to sing me songs every night to put me to sleep, and this was always my favorite. i remembered it randomly today, and it's every bit as beautiful as i remember

I sung this for a competition and won gold. I absolutely love this song

Glorious! Majestic! Sublime!....These Words Pale In Significance Against The Purity And Beauty Of This Rendition !!! V.W.

This is one of my all time favourite pieces of music - to me it means the English countryside in early morning in late spring when the world seems to be full of promise.

I just heard this melody in the back of an unrelated RU-vid video and was immediately flooded with memories of my mother singing this to me when I was younger. Such a beautiful song, it makes me happy that we’re still singing it some 500 years after it was written

I don't think anyone in UK, Ireland, Scot, etc... Will ever forget GREENSLEEVES.

I've finally found the music I've been looking for for a long time

I don't know why and how but I've fallen in love with this song

Not to be picky poster, but it was the OPENING of Kings Quest I where I first heard this song too and fell in love instantly. 30 years later and I play it for my kids now who love it. This song has always resonated with my soul. I want it played at my funeral when I die. Let them celebrate my life to the beautiful sound of Greensleeves playing 😊💖

headbanger!!!!! cant stop moving this music puts such a bee in my bonnet my heart is beating so fast right now oh my god

You know I wish they were songs composed for all six of them, because they had different traits that would describe them.

Fantastic! I come from Georgia, the country of nature, and I perfectly understand the feeling behind the melody.

Legend has it that young Prince Henry, soon to become Henry VIIIth of England, either inspired this composition, or actually wrote it himself.

I remember a music box I had when I was little. I would fall asleep to it playing..

A very beautiful world appeared backgrounded the sweetest melody... Bravo Mr. Joshua Howard I like it!!!!

The ice cream truck plays this song every time it comes around my neighbourhood. It was always so haunting hearing it in the distance, but now I am a bit more used to it.

Oh boy another song that reminds me of my Granny who I so miss so much this year is 16 years ago ❤❤❤❤ this was her funeral song strangely enough my dad wanted it mine was one how great thou art in it it’s a well known hymn it was on songs of praise this Sunday just gone miss you granny ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Damn this song pierced my heart. What a beautiful song, beautiful voice tooo!!! Thank you..

Kings Quest is when I first heard it too! Fell in love with the melody and it's been my favourite ever since. The music is hauntingly beautiful and after 500 years still endures..much like the love that this song was inspired by.

Ho ascoltato questa canzone dall'inizio alla fine senza mai stancarmi, perché è bellissima.

So this might be weird, but one day i heard his in a dream and i thought i just came up with it, so i started whistling it. A few years go by and someone hears me whistle and says "hey, thats greensleeves". I didn't know what they were talking about, and they showed me this video. Very cool to know i've actually been whistling a song i didn't even know

Wie wunderschön... ein Traum ... 🥰 Ein sehr schönes Lied, wunderbar gesungen. 💖💖💖 Bravo an den Komponisten, Bravo an die Musiker, Bravo an die Sängerin und auch ein Bravo an den Filmmacher. 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Alles zusammen ein Kunstwerk für die Sinne! 😍😘❤

People in 1400 ad at 1:17 "THAT BEAT DROP WAS SUPERBLY AMAZING MY FELLOW"

brings a tear to my eye every time.

Some songs are timeless.

If I don't hear greensleeves, particularly in D Minor, my tummy gets upset. And you know me *I don't like change in routine.*

An immortal beautiful song sang by an incredible voice. Thanks

My dad used to sing this to me when I can't sleep he would hold me in his arms and sing this to me until i fall asleep sometimes he would do that for hours,but he changed the lyrics there was my name in there so I've always thought it was his song. It's been years since i Heard this melody , it reminds me of th good time with my dad when he was a good person, it makes so happy and so sad at the same time.

My grandma used to sing this song when I’d sit on her lap when I was a little girl and I feel such deep love for her now when I hear this song. We’ve all usually heard country and Christian songs but when she sung this it’d just be me and her and it meant so much to me 🥲💖

I simply love everything about Green sleeves, especially the name. Who would have !!! Up such a name. Never mind everything else.

My mom sang this to me as a lullaby when I was a baby. It's the only thing that gets me to sleep now.

beautiful ~ sad ~ yet beautiful ~~

Me in 2022 still listening to this song. I fell in love with this so I played it at my grandmothers funeral so good but so sad.

Everytime i listen to this song, it calms me down. It makes me feel like im in the middle of a beautiful forest out of nowhere, hearing the music of nature and by myself just exploring the beautiful art in that place

I've loved this song even on tours overseas, such a wonderful job :) my stepmom plays this song on the piano every time im home from duty and its amazing

this is definitely one of my favorite versions of this song the mix of all the instruments is great

I love history so much. The life and beauty and wonder and music... It was beautiful. I adore the renassaince and all that. How simple yet nice things were. I wish I could experience some of it.
