@maxies4090 4 года назад

in the book it's "necklace of rope" and that's just creepier and better

@awesometown1000 4 года назад

I can go either way with it. To call a hangman’s noose a ‘necklace of hope’ is deeply unsettling. It paints a picture that the world the singer is living in is so bleak and painful that death via hanging is the best way to escape from it. It would be better to die with your love than suffer in this life. Maybe that’s just me looking too much into it. I dunno.

@jacobbishop8067 4 года назад

@fawn4348 4 года назад

@PurpleEnbyTerminator 4 года назад

The original is "rope", in both the movie and the book they change it to "hope" so it would fit the rebellion. The necklace of hope also gives connotations of "We will be free or we will die trying" or even the American revolutionary saying "Give me liberty or give me death."

@maryhales4595 6 лет назад

My favorite thing about this cover is how it starts out quietly, and gradually gets more and more insistent - partly through thicker background vocals and getting louder, until the chorus enters. Gives me chills every time.

@NicolasClark7732 4 года назад

After hearing this yet again... I realized, I rather wish Peter had gone with the book-original song of "necklace of rope". Hope is stronger, but rope gives it much more of the proper, eerie quality.

@awesometown1000 4 года назад

True, but calling a hangman’s noose a ‘necklace of hope’ is a sickening concept. Imagine living in a world full of pain and agony and being so helpless that you can’t change it that a noose gives you hope. Dying is the only alternative, as there’s nothing else left.

@acidcosmos2001 4 года назад

I actually just realized how Genius it is to do the instruments with your voice. Not only does it add something unique and interesting, but you can make any song without instruments. That's such a great idea.

@Sh1tbagActual Год назад

It also adds a different feel to the song. In-universe, this is a song written by people without access to real instruments, and with possessions tightly controlled enough that they can’t make improvised ones. All they have is their voices to make music with.

the only reason this is so haunting is because it was written and performed in a minor key. if they wrote this in a major key, it would sound much different and much less eerie. that's one of the many reasons that I love this song. this version of it especially makes it eerie and creepy and IT'S SO COOL!

I've been listening to this song nearly all day. You even got me to sing along. I haven't done that in years! I love this song!

@tellusorbit 5 лет назад

I have neither read the book nor watched the movie so I have no idea what the story line or plot is. But this music is so compelling, so haunting, so powerful it is something I cannot nor will not forget. As Meeseeks aptly notes, it is the minor key in which this is sung that gives the song its power and depth. Thanks, Peter, for making us, as Tolkien wrote, "glad that through you great beauty has been wakened inn song."

@AyaanThe0ne Год назад

@HQ What about 4 years?

@Shifsabre Год назад

Simply put, the context of the scene is Katniss recalling a song from her childhood to rally the resistance together. In the movie, they added a scene where an army of rebels from District 5 sing as they march on the hydroelectric dam that gives the Capitol its power, pushing bombs into the entrances as hundreds of them are gunned down. They took a scene that was just a normal part of the book, and made it into the single best part of the entire series.

@AyaanThe0ne Год назад

@Shifsabre You're forgetting about the prequel, too. When Lucy Gray Baird sings the song, it references about the actual hanging spot that the Peacekeepers do. This was also a secret message to say to Billy Taupe, Lucy Gray's former lover, to meet up somewhere not many people often go due to negative connections to the place. When Lucy Gray does fall in love when Coriolanus Snow, she sings the song to him to meet up there without raising suspicions so they could escape together with no-one knowing.

@jessicacaron5084 Год назад

Wait - did Tolkien say that about the Music of the Ainur? I mean, I'm not saying it's a wrong comparison...

@tellusorbit Год назад

@@jessicacaron5084 I compared this piece to "The Music of the Ainur" because although it starts out with a single voice, it is transformed into a choral performance. In Tolkien's story, it is a chorus of the Ainur which creates the World.

@themagiciansway 9 лет назад

Thanks for making this song what it should actually sound like! I find it slightly disturbing that Hanging Tree has turned into some sort of techo/rave track that's currently a hit on the radio. I mean... it's literally a song about a guy asking if his love will come hang herself next to him. It was meaningful in the books, but why is this a thing? So, great job with this version Peter!

I just found this version. I love it. I always loved this song from the book and was excited when they movie used it and made it a real track. The small line change of wear a necklace of hope from wear a necklace of rope was fit the movie well. There was more of a background story on this song and how Katniss' father taught it to her as a kid in the book so rope worked better than hope in the novel. But since that was taken out of the film the line change worked. And It made the song even more beautiful and haunting. Anyways great cover.
