"Over the Hills and Far Away" - Patty Gurdy (Gary Moore / Nightwish Hurdy Gurdy Cover) 

They chose wisely, you gave this song a great performance :) Have your heard of the game "Sea of Thieves"? The characters have a hurdy gurdy among onther instruments and thee music is beloved by many players, maybe you want to cover the songs or create a medley? ^^

will there be an instrumental version of this cover???

Loved it. Seeing Nightwish in Las Vegas next month. Just bought your EP.

This song is my favorite Nightwish cover (of Gary Moore's song), an amazing job you've done covering this song as well. I look forward to what comes next! (edited to give proper credit, Thanks Rictus for correcting who's song it is originally)

Heyhoo. This is only Gary Moore's song! Not Nightwish's. Nightwish only covered it themselves. I like their version very much but they did nothing to earn credits for this great song. All honors to Gary Moore! Your version is ok, but it lacks drive and power. Sorry, but as a fan of Gary Moore for more than 30 years - it doesn't convince me

There are plenty of players!

Nothing shocking about a hurdy gurdy, Even some people still play the recorder. In, like, orchestras. This is not weird. It is rare enough to get my attention, though. So that might be something. All the love for Patty, her singing and the instrument that she plays so well!

Eluveitie my friends! Look em up

amazing

Playing a Hurdy Gurdy is one thing. Rocking with a Hurdy Gurdy is something entirely else.

If she does i'm voting for her! Belgium never has any good stuff

Не надо ей в этот гадюшник. После травести пидара в финале - я хочу видеть Пэтти в других местах.

It's a traditional Irish style riff, so naturally sounds better on more traditional style instruments, like here on the hurdy-gurdy, and also when played on fiddle and uillean pipes, like on the original Gary Moore version.

@@tanglewood6312 Right. While I like the cover by Nightwish, I think the original by Gary Moore is still the best.

👍👍👍

Thank you for your service.

@@blastgamers8129 it was an honor to serve and do my small part to keep the world at least partially safe for our small part of it . thank you very much .

@@sidsnot6952 thank you very much Sid . that was also my fathers name .

so touchy comment from a murderer, i like such things

James Klarkowski what genre of music do you normally listen to? Cause that might be why.

@@zerotodona1495 You can probably listen to more than 99% of all music without ever having heard of hurdy gurdys anyway.

These days, hurdy gurdies are mostly used in folk music. It is an awesome instrument.

James Klarkowski, I had always heard of "Hurdy Gurdy Grinders" as a kid in the 1950s and thought the old folks were talking about organ grinders like I saw with monkeys at fairs. I worked for Bob Moog when I was in high school and liked unusual instruments, and when I was at college Donovan Leitch came out with "Hurdy Gurdy Man": ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CHxfOZH8cew.html I was curious and did some research and have been intrigued ever since, even though I never got my hands on one. I think one of the best explanations of how a Hurdy Gurdy works is here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gYJg9cLk1us.html

I might answer that question like this. ... because your haven't lived long enough. Respect age.

It isn't her own?

@@thearcher9940 This song is a cover of the Gary Moore song.

@@chrisgates8891 The song is from the 1700s

Yes, there is a traditional song 'Over the hills and far away' from the 1700's, but it is a totally different tune and different words. Same as there is a song by Led Zeppelin 'Over the hills and far away' which is totally different. This version is a cover of the Gary Moore song.

If you havent already, go listen to the Black Sails theme.

@@roadsweeper1 hi roadsweeper! I listened to it and really loved it, which is surprising coz it has a dark twist within the song which is totally not my style 😂 But I actually loved it! Thanks for sharing that!

@@thibni_ your welcome. The hurdy gurdy is a strange instrument. It worked well for the black sails theme. It's how I originally heard of a hurdy gurdy.

Dude i know, this instrument soothes me during my worst of moods

@@thibni_ well, if you haven't yet and you want to hear something mindblowing (not to say that Patty isn't, but .... well), check out Guilhem Desq. Guy's a damn deranged god on this instrument ...

Wow, you have an old account

@@colinfitzpatrick3389 idk. As much as human history is filled with lies. On almost every topic, period, genre. I my curiosity would cut the rope to go dance w the sirens

@@d540vamartin9 hahha jy is sad

hou die slaai vir jou self asb ........dankie

Original is from Gary Moore back in the late 80s, all versions have their own flavor but they're all amazing!

@@Scurvy_Soso Oh, I did not actually know that. Thanks for pointing it out,much appreciated!🙏

She's done a bit on the new alestorm album Curse of the crystal coconut

Omg same here! It recommended me "Oonagh" and i loved because i'm a Tolkien fan (you shoul try it, it's mindblowing)😍😍😍 and next this!? I'm almost in shock 😃

@@angeramirez25 came back to say thank you. Is there a song you prefer that I and the world should hear?

It's just a glitch; they'll have it fixed soon.

I get it too. A varied bunch of content as well!

Ditto

Same!

You should! Just don't bother with a cheap instrument, they aren't really proper instruments, more like expensive props. Kolibri Gurdy is a good place to start, they are only about €5-600

Hehe Hurdy Gurdy.

Omg

Same here

Me to, loving it

I cant stop listening to you.. I am so in love ;)

Same, it's just beautiful!

james fry Yknow its not a nightwish song, right?

yes i do know that im not even sure how old the song is i think its a very old folk song

Nightwish did this song better then the original.

Hero Support Won't argue, though I feel both have their charms. But that does not make it a nightwish song.

never made any claim its a Nightwish song It is my favorite version of it.

Well, England was formed by Germanic tribes Angle Saxons. Plus Celtic tribes and Germanic tribes lived next to each other as well. Plus let's not forget about the Vikings as well.

Gary Moore still rules.

​@@rfe8nn2got that wrong, they destroyed most of anything that was Celtic.

Irish, german, norwegian. Brother! We are a different breed.

Better yet, "Don't cheat on your best friend with his wife."

@@Thomas.Wright cause if you do he just might get you locked up for a long ass time

I see I'm not the only one that thought it was a set up lol

Not quite as dark as The Long Black Veil, a classic Jonny Cash song, but dark enough.

Or maybe the moral is just don't get caught.

Stop yelling at the mirror xD

Yes, I´m agree. Nightwish and this beautiful lady, keep the Gary Moore´s legacy.

Wolvalk its a hurdy gurdy

Its called hurdy gurdy its a Instrument Form.medival times.. Its not often played anymore

nightwish covered this song, gary moore wrote it back in the 80s.

@@Taterzz and did it better than anyone!

I hope you're a Garry Moore fan as well. It's his song.

Right !! Original song was good but this.....god tier

Saying things twice doesn’t convey more of a message

Love the song, but its sad ;( I'd love her to play it.

Came here for historical folk, got a re-written version of "Long Black Veil"

masterpiece

I feel you, I so thought it was that one XD

Sean bean

I came expecting Led Zeppelin

You need to also check out the harpejji by Marcodi. It's like an electric guitar played like a piano.

she has videos that show her own hurdy gurdy in detail

The song have more the 30 years..but she did a very nice version.

There are those who will miss us when we are gone . make sure those will be good memories.

Agreed, the band shes in isnt half bad.

Omg you would be understand me you would I really 🤔

es ist ein sehr cooles Lied und das Wort for Hurdy-Gurdy ist die Drehleier, wenn du wissen willst :)

Bruna BB thanks!

Bruna BB well done!

Closer than most lyrics, off tho a couple times ;)

I took the Lyrics you posted and listened to the song a few times, fixing them as I went along. I'm pretty sure I have them all correct if you're wanting to post these in your post. Up to you. :) They came for him one winter's night Arrested, he was bound They said there'd been a robbery, His pistol had been found They marched him to the station house, He waited till the dawn And as they led him to the dock, He knew that he'd been wronged "you stand accused of robbery," He heard the bailiff say He knew without an alibi, Tomorrow's light would mourn his freedom Over the hills and far away, For ten long years he'll count the days Over the mountains and blue seas, A prisoner's life for him there'll be He knew that it would cost him dear, But yet he dare not say Just where he'd been that fateful night, A secret it must stay He had to fight back tears of rage His heart beat like a drum For with the wife of his best friend, He spent his final night of freedom Over the hills and far away, He swears he will return one day Far from the mountains and blue seas, Back in her arms again he'll be Over the hills and, Over the hills and, Over the hills and, Over the hills and, Over the hills and, Over the hills and, Over the hills and far away Each night within his prison cell, He looks out through the bars He reads the letters that she wrote One day he'll know the taste of freedom Over the hills and far away, She prays he will return one day As sure as the rivers reach the seas, Back in his arms again she'll be Over the hills and far away, He swears he will return one day As sure as the rivers reach the seas Back in his arms is where she'll be Over the hills and, Over the hills and, Over the hills and, Over the hills and, Over the hills and, Over the hills and, Over the hills and far away

yeah we can hear ju7st fine

I'd love to hear that bud! :)

what is the trve versiion to it?

@@Dave.Mustaine.Is.Genius That would be Gary Moore, back in 1987.There are other songs with the same title, but they are totally different songs altogether.

In that case, I'll make a few recommendations for you: FABIS TUNES (she plays for Patty's old band Storm Seeker). BRISINGA ANNIE HURDY GURDY

@@Thomas.Wright thanks

Same here

Shes amazing. Look up yoshida brothers for a new school twist on old Japanese music

I know right amazing what the algorithms show.

Please allow me to nudge y'all towards Playing for Change, I discovered them via algorithm in 2011.

Rough translation for all you english lads out there. "Love Patty, her music is so beautiful and wonderful, good luck with the album! (everything after the ; is a super rough translation)

@@pandaman3367 That's actually not quite right. "Liebe" at the beginning is something more like "dear" in this context. More accurately, it's "Dear Patty, your music is so touching and wonderful, I'm very excited for your album!"

@@SquireThomas Okay, been a while, thanks! lol

( It's deer patty your music is so touching and beautiful I'm really looking forward to your album ) that's what it is UwU

I just came across this myself, holy crap that's what I thought myself

Hi. I heard this song on the radio today in my car. It was on 101.9 FM Poplar Bluff, Missouri USA. Congrats. It sounded wonderful.

@@user-yb5ss7cp5d I look forward to it!

Oh this is Irish pish. Get it now. Love the British version. Why would these fuckers think us British would let you get away with this. Fuck off and die Ireland. Or as we say over here Scotland's retarder offspring.

@@almac-pj3oc Patty Gurdy is an artist's nickname, she is German.
