@@godzillaxultraman The rolling giant killed the teen to possess his body, the black and white image of the old man with the beard displayed in the film, is the man possessing the giant and wanted the teens body to possess (just a theory)
i found this video through the oldest view, like many others, but i just HAD to stop in here and say what a lovely voice alan has! it's very calming. something about this song has wormed its way into my brain, and i find myself humming it quite often.
So like ignoring that we all found this from kane, Im so so SO into this after reading the channel description!!!! You're literally preserving history in the coolest way possible!!! This rocks I'm definitely subscribing and listening to more history! 💙💙💙
Such a beautiful song, it made me choke up and weep as I was remembering all the sadness that happened over the course of this year and given I'm the kind of person that bottles up all my grief, it felt very cathartic to let The sorrow flee as the tears flow. 11/10 such a beautiful experience. Parting, oh parting *was* grief and pain.
This song talks about the tragedy of loss against the continuing beauty of nature and Kane's videos only shows humans in greyscale so I think the artist attempted to sculpt someone he lost into something of nature to end his suffering by making it everlasting and beautiful. Something human was laying in the field with the artist as he picked flowers (look for greyscale at 25 seconds. Looks like flowers but could be hair). You also see a greyscale mask looking back at the body at the end of part 3, making me think the same human in the field is now the giant. This person may have been dead or alive as the sculpture was created because sometimes you lose people who are still alive (a big fight, simply growing apart, etc.) but I think the artist did something unnatural and twisted to this person to stop his suffering temporarily (last verse says WAS grief and pain) which ironically twisted into an eternal embodiment the grief and pain the artist was so desperately trying to escape. Now this thing grows with nature and consumes everyone around it using fragments of its memory. The hole is how deep you have to go down into to find whats left of its humanity, and it'll keep getting deeper and more currupted as time passes. PS: Not claiming to be correct, just love this song listened to it over and over on repeat as my mind wondered. Thanks to both of you wonderful artists!
I feel like the song is less about literal swallows flying away for winter and more about the death of the narrator's lover, and the hope of seeing her again in the afterlife. The swallows leaving and the coming of winter seems to be a metaphor for death as evidenced by the grief mentioned. Roses are often a symbol of a woman and their petals falling a symbol of their death.
Yes, it would happen to be that I was brought here because of The Rolling Giant, but I actually appreciate the older music of the past. The Caretaker's "Burning Memory" rendition of Al Bowlly's early 1900s "Heartaches" allowed me to find that song, and I still listen to it this day. I appreciate music with dignified meaning, which is sorrowfully lacking in today's algorithms. Finding this song will allow me to scour the rest of your renditions for songs I appreciate, which is simply fantastic. Yes I was brought here by modernity, but I shall leave with special pieces of the past.
Thank you Mr Magic Mumbles. I hope you find a lot of songs on my channel to your liking. As you say, the old songs are deep and meaningful, as well as being very listenable.
@@AlanThompsonsSongsofBygoneEras Indeed. If you have any other somber pieces you may recommend, I would be pleased to listen to them. Thank you kindly.
This is absolutely brilliant, utterly crushing and sad but gorgeous still. Listening to this we feel what the writer felt all those years and lifetimes ago. And still the same moon and stars peer down at us when we feel that pain at night ourselves.
Beautiful folk song! Man wouldn't it be crazy if this song was used to represent the Dallas arts community and the legacy of French botanist Julien Reverchon? Definitely no eerie liminal spaces lost to time or giant puppets.
Before hearing this song I fear of the Giant, but now I really feel sad to it. Such a peaceful but heart breaking music, fulfilling the last puzzel of the creation.
I've only listened to this song in german version (Wenn die Schwalben heimwärts ziehn) I've never listened to English version of this song before and oh your voice is so sweet sir.. I really like the part where you sing "parting, oh parting, was grief and pain" (Scheiden, ach scheiden tut weh!) I'm so glad I found this video, immediate subscribe to your channel.
When the swallows homeward fly And the rose's bloom is o'er, And the nightingale's sweet song In the woods is heard no more, Then I think with bitter pain, Shall we ever meet again? When the swans fly towards the south Where the golden lemons grow, And the sun sinks in the west, And the hills are all aglow! Then my heart goes out to you, And forgetting all the pain, Hope once more within me whispers "You will surely meet again". -Unidentified Author Edit: This song literally fits / has a lot in common with what I'm going through today.
What do you think of this massive influx of viewers coming from Kane Pixels' short films? This video has thousands more views than what you usually get.
Hi AndyHappyGuy. I am quite impressed with the boost that has occurred, because my expectations were for a rather gradual increase in both views and subscriptions over a very long period of time (years). It gives me incentive to continue with the project. My assumption was that only older folks would be interested in these old songs, and they tend to be rather wary of things modern like computers. And the word "subscription" to them comes along with subscription to a costly magazine that has to be paid for on a regular basis. So I can thank Kane for his efforts. PS. I like the way he has presented my rendition of the song too.
@@AlanThompsonsSongsofBygoneErasI have enjoyed your content since I found your channel through Kane! I've saved some of the songs into my playlists! Keep up the good work!
@@AlanThompsonsSongsofBygoneErasthanks to Caretaker and his amazing works like Everything at the end of time has brought a huge surge of young people listening to music like this. personally i still listen to some of the normal sounding songs off that album because i love the feeling you get from older music. it’s much simpler than music nowadays, while still being complex written pieces.
@@bmkbbk123 It is good to see people listening to a wide range of music. My parents used to say that the old music was the best. My peers often make the same comment referring to music they listened to in their youth. But the reality is that there has been "best" good music going on for centuries and is still occurring!
A lot people are here from the oldest view, yes, but either way, your voice is amazing and your vision for this channel is the same. Keep up the good work, you soft spoken bastard.
The perfect song to get chased by a Moist Critical statue on a segway with a constant "ope, scuse me" stance, while lost in a mall several kilometers underground ❤😌
here is the lyrics for anyone who's asking for them: Verse 1: when the swallows homeward fly, when the summer days are gone, when the roses fade and die, and no more is heard the song Of the nightingale so sweet then my sad heart doth repeat Ah shall we ne'er meet again, Parting, Oh parting, is grief and pain, Parting, Oh parting, is grief and pain. Verse 2: When the swallows wing their flight far away o'er land or sea and the winter's dark'ning night Throws its shade o'er you and me then my sight heart oft repines, for those brighter, happier times Oh! to see them once again parting, oh parting is grief and pain, parting, oh parting is grief and pain, Verse 3: weep no more thou troubled heart heart, soon a brighter morn shall rise And the winter's gloom depart, Hast'ning fair and sunnier skies, then will sorrow flee away And the nightingale's soft lay, Come to cheer my heart again parting, oh parting was grief and pain, parting, oh parting was grief and pain, The End.
@@AlanThompsonsSongsofBygoneEras If you haven't, you should go check out kane pixel's oldest view. It goes from renewal-Life of a giant. Also it is fully fake. No props or anything.
Hi Triballsland. This is my retirement project. Others do things like read, go on cruises, woodcraft, paint, etc. or even flop down in front of a TV for many hours a day. The songs that I post are in public domain, and my source music (sheet music) has been collected from op shops and second hand bookshops. Hence I have no rights to the original song or the melodies. Most of the books and sheets I have were printed well over 100 years ago. Weirdly RU-vid advises me of copyright claims by some individuals on a few of the songs. I guess they have some means of registering their version, which has the same melody but newly created words. A process of evergreening. (I have generally don't post these songs). I guess I have a right to my version of the song. If you want to use any of the songs I have posted then it would be appreciated if you could acknowledge the source of the music you are using such as a link to the song. (Just like Kane Pixels has done.) Thanks for asking. Early in my project I discovered that someone had used one of my songs promoting software that constructs chords for the music, without a request, so I appreciate that you have made a request.
According to the sheet music in my collections: Cristabel as lyricist and Franz Abt ( 1819 to 1885) as composer. The song is at least 140 years old. As for artistry: that'd be me!
