KATE RUSBY - THE WILD GOOSE

[@jmzfactor]

This was on the soundtrack tonight to November Christmas on Hallmark Hall of Fame. I thought it was so beautiful and searched from the last line on Google and found it here. Exceptional and gorgeous singing.

[@wvVol]

About four years ago, this song saved my sanity. Haunting, beautiful, defiant, melodic; something in all of that gave my soul a tired strength that wouldn't quit during the hardest time of my life...

[@isthatyoursandwich]

Hope your doing OK many years later

[@wvVol]

@@isthatyoursandwich Thank you, and yes, I am well.

Sing on Kate Rusby. You lift souls everywhere with your beautiful voice and beautifully presented material.

[@lorikunz9554]

Came across this song after seeing November Christmas, makes me teary eyed listening to it

[@henrithehero]

Yep. Every time.

[@Nsulliva629]

I looked for it because of November Christmas in Hallmark, this scene on the hay ride is so wonderful.

[@jeannelson94]

I just got finished watching November Christmas I love this song

[@momlovesmat]

Same ❤

[@andrewrodgers2180]

I am sitting here in me chair, blubbering away like a bady. This song and Kate's voice and presentation are so beautiful. No words, there are angels among us,

[@robertmccardle5113]

Ahmen.

[@samkan90]

I do not think I will EVER get tired of listening to Kate sing this song!

[@mattvermeulen7517]

I check in on this one every year or so. It’s such a corking melody, and Kate delivers it perfectly

[@StevenRing-ws4tt]

As an almost lifelong musician, I am so touched by this song, and especially Kate Rusby's presentation of it. Wow! What a precious tune. It puts me at ease every time I hear it. Thanks, Kate!

[@nightingaleofsorrow9349]

Agreed my friend!💕

[@fredwright2712]

So, so beautiful. Ranzo Ray. My dad sailed away two years ago and I have searched for him everywhere in the whole wide world, and I had to accept that he is right here in my heart, and nowhere else to be found. I miss you, dad.

Good luck to you Fred.

This girl takes you on a journey with her beautiful voice. She really pulls on the heart strings

[@michaelmacgillivray5910]

She cuts through any convenient labeling as a "traditional" this or that. The voice simply transports us back in time. Rusby is a treasure.

[@pooldad03]

Not a dry eye in the house when this song played in November Christmas....beautifully done....awesome scenery.....just a magnificent song to sit back, close your eyes and think about life and of those who have gone before you

[@mjohnsen7]

I grew up on the other side of the Atlantic, but Kate's renditions of these old English ballads gives m the chills. I'd love to see her perform in the Pacific Northwest.

[@dinerouk]

She has been to America, but doesn't like travelling outside UK, even leaving Yorkshire I think, can be a bit of a wrench!

[@patricialawson2678]

I too looked it up because of November Christmas. I get tears every time I watch it. Such a beautiful song💗

[@ronaldstrange8981]

Her beautiful voice is unique. Most of the female screamers today leave me totally cold, but this lady sings from the heart. Sadly, this February 2021 and England is locked down, but this singer has warmed me so much, I do hope she is safe and well.

[@georgianrooms]

How could anyone thumb this down......The Barnsley Nightingale.....sing on Kate you beautiful person....

[@k8sl]

well, there are only 8. But, yes…..Philistines.

[@JJBushfan]

netwitch56 When are you three going to get it? When are you going to step outside your narrow little egos? We're all entitled to our taste. I like Kate Rusby, but that doesn't make me somehow 'right' and other people 'wrong.' It's the sort of attitude that drives most of what's bad in the world.

[@ChrisCurtisFan]

Hallmark is running this beautiful movie again on November 23! Thank you for posting the live video of Kate Rusby doing this beautiful song!

[@jeffprusha7019]

One of the most beautiful folk ballads I've ever listened to! Music, words, Kate's voice, all blend together to imprint upon one's heart. It is haunting and serene as in unrequited love. One thing for sure, as frail, sinful human beings as we all are, Jehovah God in Christ loves us dearly and with faith we extend both of our arms to a sinner's savior Our Lord Christ Jesus who is full of Grace, Truth and Love! He knocks at the door of our heart. Please open it and let him in! May God in Christ Jesus bless you and yours now and always!

[@Dakota-Goldie24]

A November Christmas brought me here 😍😍😍😍 Kate's voice is just gorgeous im so proud to be a yorkshireman right now 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@raydoowop5937]

Nice Yorkshire lass .... with an Outstanding voice,,, Great tune,,,, Thanks .... Kate Rascal :~))

[@Arbiteroflife]

No country seems to love their great artist as much as England. Loving this lady comes easy. She's so sweet. We would all love to have Kate for a sister.

Guess I will join the other fans here to say how much I enjoyed the movie AND esp. this song. I will have to listen to more of Kate's work. Brovo Kate, great job!!!!

[@cja2204]

SO SO WONDERFUL...AND HEARTFELT. Her singing just takes you away to a different place and time

[@charliehitchen5263]

Beyond, far beyond, beautiful. To take a working song a couple of hundred years old and to endow it with such meaning.......

[@tcox312]

What a delight, the purity of Kate's voice, and the heartfelt simplicity of the playing, which beautifully accompanies Kate's heart-filled, evocative voice.

[@lynneceegee8726]

And lovely melodeon and fiddle playing by young Andy Cutting and John McCusker, let's not forget! ;)

[@8tomtoms8]

Totally agree!!! The fiddle and accordion interplay is most beautiful!!!

[@bobbarker3765]

Kate your an angel that came here to heal real people with a true heart! GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR BAND.

[@lizhunter-smith878]

Lovely, melismatic, sweet vibrato and the Northern glottal 'L's just ladle on the charm.

So beautiful. She captures my heart, Kate Rusby.

[@timfarris6801]

[@nidahogal]

Yes, she has a sweet, sweet voice. Just heard this for the first time tonight on the Hallmark Hall of Fame movie November Christmas. Just beautiful.

I just ordered SLEEPLESS from Amazon....After playing and singing thru the song initially I feel very peaceful , blessed and thankful to you, Kate ...and the other 2 gents...I play violin as well as guitar and loved all 3 instruments...

I have all Kate's early albums when I worked in the wonderful Barnsley area. This is one favourite. Peter Turner.

[@peterturner714]

Beautiful voice from Yorkshire, where I lived 1979-2009 and saw Kate in concert. We need more of her original sourced material. Peter Turner, Staffordshire.,

[@Themountains4Ever]

kate this is a beautiful song it touches my heart and make me see the world in a different way Thank you.

[@stangoodwin6774]

Just listen to this song so many times that I am somewhere in another world. There are those songs that speak to your heart and some that speak to your sole but seldom are there songs that speak to, hug and take over both. More tears flowed from eyes then have in years, Must be my Shir heritage tugging me home.

Great voice and musicianship. I saw Kate at Cambridge folk festival in 1999.

[@leefields3658]

I don't know Kate Rusby's music well, but I'm going to be paying more attention to her. I love this song. I love all the instruments and and the playing of them. I love her voice. I love her accent (who doesn't love an Irish/British accent?). It's clean and pure music, both simple and complex. It's absolutely beautiful.

[@LdyChatterleysPlover]

Hi Lee. It's a South Yorkshire accent - also lovely

[@leefields3658]

@@LdyChatterleysPlover Thank you! Nice to hear from you. I knew I did not know which precisely it was. Perhaps some day I can hear it in person.

I immediately looked for this after seeing the very same movie last night. Wild Goosebumps! This stuff touches the soul in such a warm way.

[@GBradley66]

Kate was great last night in High Wycombe. Just Yorkshire carols and stuff off the new album. the perfect introduction to the Christmas season. She looked very happy playing beside her partner, despite the winter sniffles, and told several stories about Doris their dog and Daisy their daughter.

[@anonymouswife1616]

Please may I have the words to this beautiful song...lm not going g to live long and I would so very much appreciate it 🙏

[@4thThe5th]

I found this thru my subscription to RobinTurnerMusic's channel and have been spellbound ever since...she is a rare find for sure and unfortunately, relatively unknown in the states [I'm sorry to say] as we have performers who are super famous that can't compare...I'm just thrilled to have found this treasure!!!

[@SnowdropWood]

It might an English folk song, but it's performed in an Irish Folk style.

[@RicTic66]

Don't be ridiculous there is nothing remotely Irish in the chords, melody or lyric. Stop trying to claim all folk music, England has a rich and ancient history of folk and traditional music reaching back to the 12th century, unlike much Irish folk music which dates no earlier than the 1920's when De Valera set about creating a 'culture' for the 'new'/'ancient' Eire. The fields of Athenry is an example of 'traditional' Irish folk written in the 1970s.

First heard this song in the movie "November Christmas." It blew me away. I'm a former journalist and writer and I could not have described her any better than USERNAMEfieldempty when he(?) said, "How does this girl know where I hide the keys to my heart's inner sanctum? She just strolls in there anytime she pleases, without so much as a, ''by your leave'', and starts rearranging the furniture. It is most disturbing." Nicely put, mate. If she ever came to the mountain village of Ruidoso, NM, she would set this town on its ear! All best to Kate.

[@twowhitecrows]

Yes you are very right..Not of her writing..for those that are not familiar with some traditional music, this is definitely the wild goose shanty.. sometimes as singers though you sing a song so long it evolves and almost becomes your own. She has certainly put her lovely mark on it and has given this song a second life because of it.

[@306bad]

If you want your very own copy of this track, get the Live in Leeds DVD which is brilliant, and you will also see the great guys supporting her. Now she has another great band, but don`t expect Kate to stand still she is not singing her "best of Kate Rusby" just yet she is , Halifax 14th May, nothing left of the Leeds Gig, no,no,no she is out there with wonderful new material complimented by the new bloke in her life who plays guitar and Banjo in the new look band. She is so good

Music is art and art is no competition. If you want competition, go watch sports. Why do some people always have to put people down to make others look beter ? I have thousands of records and both Lou Reed and Kate Rusby are part of the collection. An open mind makes brighter days... (besides : i'd rather hang out with Kate than with Lou, but that has nothing to do with the music)

[@306bad]

It is a shame her ex Mr McClusker is not in Kates band anymore, he is a brilliant musician and musical director. yes he gave as much time to the music as he did to the wonderful sound of Kates music, it was a joy to see on the Leeds DVD but I never saw the whole band that inspired me. Seen Kate a couple of times since and it was special. I think she is an amaising, special women. Damian is a great performer on the guitar, banjo, etc, Inspired me to by a Ukulele. Great fun instrument.
