Challenge (Orchestral Hurdy-Gurdy Version)

In this video, Anna Murphy has prepared something special for you:
"For the 7th video of our lockdown campaign I recorded a new acoustic version of our song "Challenge", the first Cellar Darling song we released. The only tracks from the original I included in the mix were the wonderful strings of the brilliant Shir-Ran Yinon - so with about 20 layers of hurdy-gurdy piled on top you could call this a "string section remix" of some sort.
And the video... well. I envisioned running around in the forest for a while would easily look like the next Lord of the Rings movie until I was dragged back into the harsh reality of video editing (and syncing audio). I admire the patience of anyone dealing with this stuff on a regular basis. This is the best I could do without losing my shit and I'm happy with it :) I hope you enjoy it too!
There will be downloads of the song (with vocals as well as an instrumental version) available on our drive which is accessible to everyone who has contributed to our lockdown campaign so far. Thanks for your support and stay tuned for more 🧡
Anna"

Cellar Darling is the definition of wholesomeness and talent.

[@ThePepejuancho]

@@wilhelmiusroderick8167 Don't get me wrong, Eluveitie is probably my favourite current band, but Cellar Darling has managed to create a very immersive musical genre that I totally love and admire. Besides, Eluveitie is not wholesome, Eluveitie is badass

[@ithewalkerrd7174]

Well... What can I say? THIS IS THE SOUND!!!

[@KoRnflake123]

I Love you Anna and your inspiration. Don't forget to Walk on 😉😊 love Your gesture and facial to this Song. Hope you will read this one day. Challenge me!

[@xBaphometHx]

This version sounds so much deeper and beautiful than the original.

[@DavidGonzalez-ui8xf]

This only shows Anna's incredible talent. I enjoyed every part of it. It is so awesome at every layer of editing. Great arrangement.

[@da9el883]

followed Anna since early eluveitie days, such a talanted musician :)

[@phasersettostun]

This song is beautiful. It doesn’t matter how many times you listen to it. It just gets better and better. I could listen to Anna do hurdy gurdy only versions of any song. ❤

[@magdalenagamezmagana8449]

💕💕 the hurdy gurdy gives me chills.

[@sedfukand]

This is so great! Thank you so much for being part of my life in this difficult times, Cellar Darling music comes to be a relief for the every day cognitive distortions this days.

[@leoniloris6595]

This is really delightful, anna.

[@333Wedge]

I love all in this video. So beautiful ❤

[@Closminding]

Requires many millions of veiws. How can we get this super talented Metal, Hurdy Gurdying, Actressing, dynamic, Front Vocalist out there ?

[@davealfdergraue3266]

Martin Luther über die Nachtigall und "Frau Musica": "Vielmehr der liebe Herregott, der sie also geschaffen hat, zu sein die rechte Sängerin, der Musica ein Meisterin." Vielen lieben Dank, Anna, für Deine Meisterschaft der Musik! 👍

Это очень круто! Красивый голос, красивая музыка, красивая Анна :)

You are amazing, it was great to see you playing live on the show here in Brazil. I loved it 😍😍😍 Kisses from Brazil 🇧🇷 🇧🇷 🇧🇷

[@franflach]

Sortudo!

[@jeffersonhenrique1643]

Quando foi?

[@emersongomes86]

@@jeffersonhenrique1643 foi em 2019, teve um pequeno show em um Bar, super legal, eles tiraram fotos com todo mundo, depois de passar o som desceram e falaram com todos, foi demais ✌️✌️✌️

[@drvvw]

​​@@emersongomes86acredita que eu conheci a banda depois que eles fizeram esse show, semanas depois, fiquei P da vida na época morava em Floripa. 🤦🏻

[@notyetacultleader]

I already love this song and this Version is also sooooo amazing, you are so talented Anna!

[@veronicalynn5425]

I love everything about this. And she is so damn beautiful. I lover her voice.

[@richardjones38]

Thank you Anna. You should make this version downloadable somewhere so people like me can pay you for it!

[@JeanLucPicard85]

Somehow I missed this version even existing.

[@marekpilka]

I just read the description of video. Lord of the Rings. Interesting. Now I can't stop thinking about how the LOTR intro would sound if it was narrated by Anna instead of Cate Blanchett. Great song and video :-)

[@mayankbaruah3997]

Thank you Cellar Darling for this amazing and lovely track and thank you Anna Murphy for performing this version . Just pure gold , I literally cried to this . This is a gem 😭😭

[@timhutchinson8485]

This orchestration is incredible! Thank you for sharing this with us.

[@Ado_rpg]

Love your hurdy-gurdy-version and I don't understand why it has not many many more views. It definitely deserves far more. It's one of the very few multilayer-hurdy-gurdy songs which are not folk that I found so far. It would be a dream to see this performed live on stage somewhere - for example You, Patty, Michalina and if necessary even more skilled hurdy-gurdy-player together performing this song, "The Longing" and maybe other songs in live-multilayer-hurdy-gurdy versions.

[@jorval8223]

My new goal in life is to learn to play the hurdy-gurdy, all thanks to Anna

[@louisburley1597]

I still love coming back to these

[@onemorelivingvids]

Was searching for the audiobook version of “Under the Oak Tree” when I found your song (the acoustic version) and now I can’t stop watching your videos 😵 just amazing work guys!

[@johnmarshall3007]

Love the sound of the hurdy-gurdy, also this woman has beautiful eyes

[@cf80s]

Thank you so much for singing the song that I've requested on the other video. "Challenge" had a huge importance in a very bad phase of my life. This is absolutely a very beautiful version of the song. I love it 😊

[@IzayoiMeiHigu]

The time is nigh I follow All the echoes reciting to me I'll read the sky And follow The footsteps my enemies left for me This is the sound, this is the sound, this is the sound hear me shout it out loud Challenge me to the death With my feet stuck to the ground How can we cherish our inner demons Without shouting it, letting it, fighting it out Challenge me 'til the early dawn With my hands tied at the back I know I'll bring you down To your knees at last Crying mercy, mercy, have mercy I can't deny you're hollow And I can't wait to bring you down Delights my eyes Your sorrow And feeds my old ever so vengeful heart This is the sound, this is the sound, this is the sound of you hitting the ground This is the sound, shout it out loud, shout it, shout it, shout it out loud Challenge me to the death With my feet stuck to the ground How can we cherish our inner demons Without shouting it, letting it, fighting it out Challenge me to the death With my feet stuck to the ground How can we cherish our inner demons Without shouting it, letting it, fighting it out Challenge me 'til the early dawn With my hands tied at the back I know I'll bring you down To your knees at last Crying mercy, mercy, have mercy on me
