Thanks for watching, everyone! Since this song is basically 'The Unofficial "Tavern Song" of Tiktok', drop what you would name your tavern below!

GO!

[RachelHardy]

Always a pleasure collaborating Colm! Nothing like some joyful apocalypse music!

[technicalphoenix]

I know it's also a technique for singing, but I genuinely adore how happy they both look while singing this.

Every time Colm covers a song, I know I’m about to get a new favourite version

The CC is not working so here's the lyrics.

There will come a soldier
Who carries a mighty sword
He will tear your city down, oh lei oh lai oh Lord
Oh lei, oh lai, oh lei, oh Lord
He will tear your city down, oh lei oh lai oh Lord

There will come a poet
Whose weapon is His word
He will slay you with His tongue, oh lei oh lai oh Lord
Oh lei, oh lai, oh lei, oh Lord
He will slay you with His tongue, oh lei oh lai oh Lord

There will come a ruler
Whose brow is laid in thorn
Smeared with oil like David's boy, oh lei oh lai oh Lord
Oh lei, oh lai, oh lei, oh Lord
Smeared with oil like David's boy, oh lei oh lai oh Lord
Oh lei, oh lai, oh lei, oh Lord
He will tear your city down, oh lei oh lai... oh

Her eyes ensnared souls, his smile made hollow hearts whole, but it is their voices joined as one, that made us dance till our feet turned sore. Cheers!

I only found out today, after hearing this song several times, that not only is this a song about Christ's Second Coming, but that it comes from an album written with heavy influence by the works of C.S. Lewis. Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.

I loved this song before it blew up! I’m so happy it’s getting it’s recognition now!! You should cover more songs by the oh hellos!

[matthewgreen]

You haven't the slightest idea how much joy this brings me.

Thank you, Colm!

[randoiguess]

This song makes me happy like nothing else. It’s a special kind of happy. Like I’m jaunting down a path through the lush grass, flowers on both sides, with God behind me, like a father watching over his son. I like this song.

[stingrey]

My mind just blowed up when i realise this song is about Dawid and Jesus, amazing work, thank you so much, God bless you guys

[ApexBovine]

Gosh her voice is so crisp. Like the tone, inflection, pronunciation, everything is just co clear.

[randomperson]

Like how he takes smaller groups and helps move their songs into the spotlight. It'd be cool to see him cover infinite waters by the blasting company.

[lavenderotaku]

I’ve been hearing this song EVERYWHERE and while the original is really pretty, I’m happy you finally decided to to a cover!! Always love Colabs, and I know I’m going to love it regardless.

Thank you Colm and Rachel!!

[rubirawrs]

Was introduced to this song by the VA of Venti in genshin, and I love to see all the different interpretations of it, Colm as always crushing it and to have Rachel here too is just amazing! Please keep up the great work.

[astexzo]

Venti's song, I just love it ❤Thank you very much for such a cover 😣💘

[TheHopefulRebel]

Such a great cover!
The Oh Hellos are such a tricky band to cover given their instrumentation is practically a folk orchestra and I've never found a cover that sounds as comfortable in the rhythm of the song as yours (most people try to force it into 3/4 or 4/4 but I'd say it's in 6/8 (or 12/8) which is perfect for a jig). In both cases, your talents are extremely well-suited to it. Stunning musicianship, the both of you!

My great grandfather is in the cowboy hall of fame. When he retired from running cattle, he worked for the sheriff in San Antonio. He was once dealing with a group of rustler…alone, ran out if ammo and held them off throwing rocks until help came. He was a small man but tough and not be mess with!

[shaywoodside]

Hope I'm home from work in time for this premiere today. I ADORE this song 💜

[animezilla]

I discovered this song recently, and now I love listening to it, and so I looked for a cover and I found this amazing! Simply fantastic, the two of them singing to the sounds of the instruments
