The song is so much more dark after you know the story behind it and why it means so much to Snow. I 100% recommend reading A Ballad Of Songbirds And Snakes. I’m the biggest Hunger Games fan I know, and myself didn’t even expect to get the privilege of knowing so much about Snows past life. Powerful book. Just amazing. I really hope they adapt it into a movie.

Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
They strung up a man
They say who murdered three.
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight
In the hanging tree.

Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where the dead man called out
For his love to flee.
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight
In the hanging tree.

Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where I told you to run,
So we'd both be free.
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight
In the hanging tree.

Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Wear a necklace of hope,
Side by side with me.
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight
In the hanging tree.

Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where I told you to run,
So we'd both be free.
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight
In the hanging tree.

Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
They strung up a man
They say who murdered three.
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight
In the hanging tree.

Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where the dead man called out
For his love to flee.
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight
In the hanging tree

Are you, are you
Singing this song too?
It's stuck in your head
we all know it's true.

[leec.]

Will you, will you, come and stand with me? 
Together we shout, for all to be free.
Strange things can happen here, no more may we just be,  
at last, at last, Now they have to see.

Will you, will you, Come and stand with me?
A dead girl calls out, “let my soul be freed!”
Strange things can happen here, nor more may we just be.
at last, at last now they HAVE TO SEE.

Will you, will you, come and stand with me?
A young boy lies alone, tied up to a tree. 
Strange things can happen here, no more may we just be.
At LAST, AT LAST, now they have to see.

Will you, will you, come and stand with me?
Our voices cry out, Police see not our need. 
Strange things can happen here, no more may we just be.
At last, at last, now they have to see. 

Will you, will you, come and stand with me?
Together we shout for all to be free. 
Strange things can happen here, no more may we just be.
At last, at long last, now they have to see.

The Hanging Tree -Suzanne Collins (The Hunger Games, Mockingjay)

Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where they strung up a man
They say he murdered three
Strange things did happen here no stranger would they be
If we met up at midnight, in the hanging tree

Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where the dead man called out
For his love to flee
Strange things did happen here no stranger would they be
If we met up at midnight, in the hanging tree

Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where I told you to run
So we'd both be free
Strange things did happen here no stranger would they be
If we met up at midnight, in the hanging tree

Are you are you coming to the tree
Wear a necklace of rope, side by side with me
Strange things did happen here no stranger would they be
If we met up at midnight, in the hanging tree.

Is anyone else here after reading the chapter in "The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes: A Hunger Games Novel"? What an irony this song has as the song of the rebellion, if you now know the origin of it.. Coryo's reaction, when he probably heard the song again, now used by the rebellion, must have been shocked.. ( Hopefully no spoilers included)

[PrestonThePianist]

This was probably one of the best scenes in the movie. Comment what your favorite part was.

[jeepersmcgee]

Yes!!! Thank you so much! I've had this stuck in my head since I saw the movie(two weeks ago), and despite my best efforts I couldn't figure out how to play it without it sounding dumb. Your versions are always fantastic, so this is great for me!

[imreallyfeelingit]

I love the hunger games and playing the piano. This fits both my main hobbies!

[LucilleFlowerFairy]

The little dot on the piano key makes me think it's a dirty spot on my screen D:

[ally]

Something about this song really gets me going... I think that's the point xD It's supposed to be a rebellious song O.o But seriously, when it's played on the piano, with the left hand playing low notes, really makes it all come together :D

[-FRV-]

I imagine this is Madge Undersee playing.

STRANGE THINGS DID HAPPEN HERE NO STRANGER WOULD BE, IF WE MET AT MIDNIGHT IN THE HANGING TRE!!!!

[cozynebula]

this is such a beautiful song in itself, but on the



oh, i have no words! :)

[philisozup]

I read the books when I was 11, yet I often encounter so-called 'fans' who haven't even read them.


Bonus fact: Here are the locations of the Districts that I can remember (apologies in advance for my crappy US geography regarding the location of the more obscure states):
Capitol: Rocky Mountains
District 1: Northern inland West (Washington State)
District 2: New Mexico, Arizona and North-West Texas
District 4: Entire East Coast
District 5: Great Lakes (Illinois, Michigan, Iowa, Minnesota)
District 8 or 9: South-East (Alabama, Tennessee, Carolina)
District 12: North-Eastern states (D.C, New York, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Delaware)
Ruins of District 13: Quebec province of Canada and the most Northern U.S states (Vermont, Connecticut and others that I can't recall)

I see quite a few people say that this piece is difficult to complete. It takes even the professionals several attempts to finish pieces like this and they live on the piano. This will take time to learn but everyone can successfully play this entire piece with a couple weeks dedication if you just give it a go. My first piano piece was the first 20-30 seconds of Flight of the Bumblebee even though it seems impossible. :)

[MrGutzs]

That was one of the coolest parts inthe movie in my opinion

[noname-cukg]

This is the best song ever.i love this song
