I’ve recently been diagnosed with a severe brain cancer. I’ve had to start thinking about things. This song will be added to the ones I want played At my funeral.

[rationalityrules]

One of the best films in recent years getting the Colm treatment? Sign me the hell up!

[julez]

For those who wanna sing along. Here you go

I am a poor wayfaring stranger
I'm travellin' through this world with woe
Yet there's no sickness, toil, nor danger
In that bright land to which I go
I'm going there to see my father
I'm going there no more to roam
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home
I know dark clouds will gather round me
I know my way is rough and steep
But golden fields lie just before me
Where God's redeemed shall ever sleep
I'm going home to see my mother
And all my loved ones who've gone on
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home
I am a poor wayfaring stranger
I'm travellin' through this world of woe
Yet there's no sickness, toil, nor danger
In that bright land to which I go
I'm going there to see my father
I'm going there, no more to roam
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home

1917 was the last movie I saw in theaters with my dad before he passed away in 2020. Looking forward to hearing this cover .
EDIT: Finally got a chance to listen! Wow. I’m teary eyed. That was seriously a moving performance!

[DrinksNThinks]

Your Irish comes out on the higher notes

[MarcellBass]

Starting the song on a B1 was a power move

[jamesbuehner]

When Colm looks at the sun. The sun blinks ☀️

[KLaney]

Every single key change I'm like "No, THIS is the part that gives me the most chills..."

[aelfward]

I remember those critics who said he couldn’t sing the bass and those parts. Boy they have disappeared lately!

[Balintrebeka]

It's still unbelievable that all this comes out from one single person: Colm. Amazing!!! And beyond beautiful!

[thetinyminstrel]

Colm McGuinness, Geoff Castellucci, Avi Kaplan, and Tim Foust, should all get together and sing the dark version of can't help falling in love or something like that.

[katieosburn]

I haven’t seen the film, so I came into this with only the expectation of another amazing Colm performance, but I did not expect the character that came with the song! We don’t know a thing about his circumstances, but we know everything we need to know from the look in his eye, the doggedness in his stride, and the confidence in his face. He’s going home. We have no cause to doubt him. “Well done” is an understatement for such a fine performance! Chills. Just chills.

[allieasbill]

My dad showed me this movie last Saturday and that scene (and all the rest of the movie) was so powerful and amazing! The song has been running through my head ever since, and I am so genuinely thrilled that you are covering it that I feel like I’m going to cry! So can’t wait!

[eugeniakoumaki]

I'm already getting chills, that's gon' be good.

[christianpennington]

My grandmother passed away a few days ago. This was the last song she heard. It was beyond an honor to play it for her. From my family thank you for your gift

[silthulhu]

Holy shit Colm, those register changes are phenomenal. And the vibrato is killer too. You keep getting better and better, thank you so much for continuing to share this with us <3

[Shaden]

Can you sing something in Gaelic, please? You have such an amazing vocal range.

[wintersking]

Saw this movie in a tiny country theater with like 5 people. It was so harrowing and yet also amazing, this song encapsulates so much of what happens in the story too. It's incredible.

[dfsjkl]

My younger brother took inspiration from your singing and started trying to expand his range. He showed this to me two days ago and ive come back to it over and over again since to let the emotion behind the notes and lyrics move me.

[Astul]

I found your channel recently, great work. Like many others I will be playing your songs on my dnd campaigns, keep it up!
