Hunger Games - The Hanging Tree // Danish National Symphony Orchestra and Andrea Lykke (Live)

[@witchayasipipattanakun7103]

There's something about Jennifer Lawrence's voice when she sang this song in the movie that made it so touching (I don't know if this is the right word for it). She sounds desperate, afraid, and sad all at the same time.

[@timothyfarrington8407]

And that .. effect? Fits so well with that particular song, because if I remember correctly (it has been quite some time since I read the books) that song was basically banned by the capitol early in Katniss’ life because it was seen as potentially revolutionary in nature (despite having a history long predating the first rebellion) so it makes sense that she sounds afraid, not only has it always been very “risky” to sing it but she makes it clear that she doesn’t really like being in front of the camera either, also it probably reminds her a lot about her father

[@YavorM-Yash]

That's because she didn't want to sing it and was forced by the director to do so. She was unsure of her singing.

[@tanjalouisehodge2064]

Couldn't agree more

[@markvon4650]

But she made it so real and it came alive and inspired the entire world. And that’s just why I think that she is the greatest actress ever.

[@spdcrzy]

The increase in tempo is ever so slight, but CONSTANTLY building throughout the entire song, and the more people that are added and the louder it gets, the faster it gets too. For a hundred people to pull it all off? DAMN. From a note playing perspective, this song is easy. But from a technique and orchestration perspective? DAAAAAAMN.

Hats off to James Newton Howard for taking Suzanne Collins' lyrics and composing a breathtakingly... haunting, sad... troubling song. I can't remove it from the story in my head so Idk if Jenniffer Lawrence's rendition can be topped. The rawness and disquiet she sang it with was perfectly gut wrentching. That being said this rendition is beautiful and velvety. It feels far removed from the story but exquisitly and elegantly performed. Beautifully done.

[@cronus7500]

It gives me epilouge vibes, a ceremony that takes place decades after Katniss' natural passsing. The Mockingjay's Rememberence. It's to celebrate Panem's new freedom and to remember the souls who *choose* to die for this.

I really agree. It's amazingly beautiful. Though I must add James Newton Howard didn't compose the tune, he only made the orchestral production. The song was composed by an American band whose name I cannot remember

[@robertochavez3000]

Yes, "The Hanging Tree" from The Hunger Games peaked at number 12 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2014, making it a successful song outside of the movie. It achieved double platinum status in the US and platinum status in Canada and Germany. Jennifer Lawrence sang the song, which was written by Suzanne Collins and the Lumineers, in the 2014 movie The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part I. In the movie The song, as performed by Katniss Everdeen in the film, ends up becoming a rebellion anthem for the districts. The rebel in the song is pleading with his neighbors to accompany him in his quest for independence.

[@taylorquinn2623]

this scene in mockingjay has always been my absolute favorite - this is AMAZING. I love when the instrumental part starts and Andrea looks back at the orchestra and smiles

[@UniTea__]

I'm still bothered by 'rope' being replaced by 'hope' in the movies. Regardless, it's SUCH a haunting and beautiful song. There was a fan made version I loved before the movie version came out, but the scenes with Jennifer singing it's really incredible

[@feifiefofum1]

i dunno, i think the necklace of hope has called a certain image to mind that underscores how dire the situation is. like rope describes the physical object that killed them and all that implies. but hope being the thing that killed them- the hope for a better future, for revolution- it has a certain deadly ring to it that chills my soul personally. hope killed them, not the system that bought the rope, not the faceless government executioner, but the hope that damned them.

[@adenielle2331]

@@feifiefofum1 exactly and the fact is, all songs, that’s been passed to generations and generations, meanings and lyrics eventually change, but the essence will always be there. it’s simply a revolutionary song.

But to explain, The song refers to the fact that a guy was responsible for a mining accident that killed three people in it, hence the strung up a man, they say who murdered *three.* He was later sentenced to death by hanging and Lucy was the one who originally sang it later on.
