Hang Me, Oh Hang Me (Harp & Voice Cover)

“If it was never new and it never gets old, then it’s a folk song.”
- Inside Llewyn Davis
A good folk song lets itself be carried, transformed and adapted. This song has passed through the hands of Dave Van Ronk, The Grateful Dead, Pixies, Oscar Isaac, Crooked Still and myriad others. Here’s my take.

I have goosebumps. no words can properly express how beautiful this is. 😭❤

[@NaomiSV]

Thank you so much! 🥰

[@GermanHerman123]

Surreal how deep your voice gets, very unique.

[@NaomiSV]

Thank you! I’m all for more contralto representation.

[@GermanHerman123]

@@NaomiSV Sure, dont hold back. Let all the uniqueness out 😉

[@Delsha777]

It's rare that a harpist will sing as they play. This makes your song extra special. Many more blessings. You have a great deep voice. The song was depressing and sad; but was skillfully done. Thanks.

[@NaomiSV]

Thank you! Glad you liked it!

[@soundanimal9971]

One of the most beautiful vocal tones I've heard.

[@NaomiSV]

Thank you so much!

[@jellis9618]

As a guitarist I often find myself mesmerized by your hands. But your voice literally brings me to tears. Thank you for sharing your music with all of us.

[@NaomiSV]

Thank you so much!

[@Xemnas.1]

Nice job Naomi, your voice and your harp skills are amazing!

[@Clothahump1]

Words aren't enough to describe the level of talent you have. Thank you for bringing so much beauty into our lives!

[@NaomiSV]

Thank you so much!

[@MR-ub6sq]

@@NaomiSV My angel. Your voice is like a 27 yearish Laphroaig - just as strong, dark and smoky. I don't know another voice like it except the Bulgarian Mariela Dobreva, a pianist and singer from Bulgaria. Just the two of you - But your voice is much much more softer and better - according with your genres.

Should be in a western movie. A cowboy drifter,who falls in love with a saloon girl,in a small mountain town. Love and Light from the Heart of Texas.

[@traenenimregen4638]

Touching song, wonderful voice, perfect scene setting - I love it!

[@NaomiSV]

Thank you!

[@phillipnguyen33]

I like the glass and flickering candle in the foreground. It makes me feel that I am really there sitting at that particular table, listening and watching you sing. Great perspective on your part, Naomi! *The scene really pulls the audience into your video without them even knowing it, most notably your emotional yet mellow voice.* All you needed was some sound effects of people chatting and glasses clanking in the background after your song. Then I would forget I was watching you on KZbin. 😄 Thanks for performing and designing your cinematography.

[@NaomiSV]

Thank you! It’s always such a fun challenge to transform these white living room walls into a different universe.

[@phillipnguyen33]

@@NaomiSV Heh, you treat your living room the same way as a blank canvas like when you draw. Except this time, your art becomes alive with you in it. You're like Albert Einstein but with art--a little crazy and funny. Your hair looks way better than Albert's though.

[@JaneWillowMusic]

Ohhh wonderful! ❤ I love the candles too! So nice! ✨

[@NaomiSV]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@Johann_Gambolputty_of_Ulm]

Darn, this did set the summer end and autumn mood rather nicely ^^ ...also, suddenly I have a need to celebrate the fall equinox in a dimly lit, cigar-smoke filled bar

[@NaomiSV]

I’m celebrating the equinox by drinking the tea that’s filling up some of these bottles!

[@montrealquebecnews]

@@NaomiSV therefore it is nounmiserable failure ^^

Well done. Absolutely and completely amazing. Listened to this in the Lake District in uk. Brilliant.

such a beautiful haunting voice, really enjoyed listening to this

Both the muic and the background is absolutely amazing ! This is really beautiful! ❤

[@NaomiSV]

Thank you!

[@josephstevens9888]

Naomi - your beautiful playing and soulful singing made this rather haunting song a joy to listen to. I hope you don't get hanged... your fans want you to remain safe and healthy more many, many years to come!

[@NormanNawrockiNN]

A good folk song now made great by the inimitable wonder known as Naomi Silver-Vézina. Again, a talent that glows brighter & brighter. Congrats!

[@NaomiSV]

Thank you Norman!

[@ajeje1996]

Great song. I still have to watch the movie, but this and Green, Green Rocky Road are bangers. Dave Van Ronk was one of the greats.

[@NaomiSV]

I highly recommend the film’s soundtrack too! Like the soundtrack of “O Brother Where Art Thou”, it’s a solid album in its own right.

[@nikkijain7175]

Love the depth of your voice 🤌🏼 A truly mesmerizing cover

[@NaomiSV]

Thank you!

[@alfredomarinmarin9181]

What a wonderful combination!

[@NoBandMusic]

You've got the best taste for the setups. They just enhance the listening experience and takes us to the place we're supposed to go to while listening to these songs.

[@NaomiSV]

Thank you so much! When shooting nearly every video in the same room, it’s a fun challenge to make every video feel like a different world.

[@Zac_Craig-Claveau]

The songs you decide to sing make me think you'd like Townes Van Zandt. Same sort of melancholy/morbid vibes. He's a great poet IMO, deserves more recognition.

[@NaomiSV]

Melancholy/morbid is right up my alley haha! What songs would you recommend?

[@Zac_Craig-Claveau]

@@NaomiSV If you're after morbid, you can't do much better then "Waiting around to die". Tecumseh Valley is also great, sort of sad ballad-y one. "None but the rain" is more bittersweet. If you prefer something a bit more high energy, (still kinda depressing but quicker) "Lungs". He had a very interesting life. He went through insulin shock therapy, wiped out his long term memory. You can definitly see why he wrote sad songs. If you do check him out tell me what you think!

[@JOHNBOYC2]

Love this tune

[@mic211]

Magnificent piece. I look forwards to your next performances.

[@JamesHigham]

Amazed at the maturity of the voice, crazy for the hair too.

[@TheNamesMatthew]

Haunting! Beautiful! Well done, I love it!

[@Stoopcrew34]

[@waytogo_roblox]

Let's goo another beautiful song 💕

[@achelois_in_tunes]

I was pretty tensed today and couldn't relax even a bit, but as soon as this played, I felt my soul calming down. It felt like the musical tunes and notes spread all round to hug me, comforting me with soft words. I feel well now. Thank you so much Naomi. Your blessed tunes was perhaps all I needed for today. sending much love🤍🤍🤍

[@NaomiSV]

Glad to have helped! The harp always calms me down too.

Awesome rendition, its was a weird yet appreciated juxtapose of you and your harp breathing life into a song about the weariness of life and the troubles we and others create.

[@NaomiSV]

Thank you! I still get nervous every time I post a singing video haha

[@AkshayKumarX]

@@NaomiSV You're doing everything I yearned all my life to do. I've written this exact same comment on a previous video of yours but didn't post it because I felt like an attention seeker, that's poor mental health for ya. Honestly, my interests are so broad that I want to do it all but my mind keeps wandering away. Watching your videos and seeing you put together these amazing videos all by yourself, every single video is piece of art that I feel like isn't appreciated enough in this period of the Internet. You've been a creative spark for me and I hope for many others, I hope to be able to support you in the near future.

[@NaomiSV]

Thank you for this comment, I really appreciate it. The last two years have been all about defying the comfort zone and doing things I would have never dared to when I was younger. Sometimes putting yourself out there is the best way to motivate yourself to keep going. There are a million reasons not to do something, but self-doubt shouldn’t be one.

Wonderful job on this old classic, Naomi. Love your Contralto timbre. Please feel free to give us more of it!
