Lord Randall

[@Lascombe]

I'm addicted to this song

[@ajwilkie7383]

My English teacher played this today and I’m hooked now, love me some ballads

[@chadsills6202]

Same lmao

[@annelbourne5563]

Love the sprinkling sparkling music lifting the ballad.

[@codpwners2]

This is probably my favorite song and this is my favorite version of it.

[@beezechurgerjer9891]

bruh.

[@carolweiner2033]

I agree this is my favorite version of this Ballad Lord Randall 💕

[@frankheppner8990]

Oh, I love this song. Your rendition is one of the best I've heard so far. Great harmony singing and playing!

[@Thrifty032781]

So from what I read, Lord Randall, and all humans, were forbidden to enter The Greenwood. That was the realm reserved to the fairies and other fey creatures. For trespassing, a fairy assumed the form of Lord Randall's lover and poisoned him.

Superb.

Thank you so much for that insight. I really appreciate it.

Your version touched me omg

[@kayhuang7830]

it's great ,that sound touch my heart~~

[@irishguy200007]

Dylan did a nice "COVER" !!! Of this one.

[@Harperhaven]

I believe its a Nyckelharpa or a keyed fiddle ... a tradition Swedish instrument

[@carolweiner2033]

I spent two nights trying to identify the Nyckelharpa, I should have read the comments, thank you 😊

[@sandeepaariyaratne5883]

enjoyed a lot

[@lucadehennin]

Absolutely magnificent, do you have the guitar chords somewhere?

Chi la spompa nel 2019?

[@jankokol9817]

Does anyone know what they said that Lord Randal "left his sisters"?

[@carolweiner2033]

One version said his gold and silver, but that version he doesn’t leave anything to his father...I cannot understand what he left his sister in this version I have heard so many versions as it is a ballad the words tend to change.

[@samjohannson6698]

I think it was maybe his 'hawks of the air'?

[@homonnaizsolt]

It's beautiful but I must ask: is there a chance you might upload the CD version?

[@JDvvibes]

Here from English 12😭

[@nettuno5094]

Good version!! I suggest a new modern version of the ballad with different lyrics... search Roanoke - Lord Randal on KZbin...

[@Thrifty032781]

I heard that version. It's kind of awful. I can't understand a word she's saying through that accent.

[@avigdoropp218]

[@fewfew444]

Bob Dylan origins!!!

[@carolweiner2033]

I am a very 💕loyal Dylan💕fan but this is such an old ballad from before any of our grandparents were thought of...

[@fewfew444]

@@carolweiner2033 Bob Dylan took old folk songs and either sang them verbatim, or in this case used them as a template for original work.

[@johnshea4436]

The structure of the lyrics of "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall" clearly used this song as an inspiriation. Musically, there is no relationship that I can hear.

[@davidbiggart7582]

what kind of instrument is the lady playing?

[@seriouskitchen]

it is indeed a nyckelharpa. :) www.nyckelharpa.me.uk

[@robertocerri875]

...non mi dispiace questa versione,anche se la trovo più elaborata da quella di Gordano DALL'Armellina,un po' più in assonanza con le vecchie ballate inglesi!

[@Thrifty032781]

Why is the woman calling her son "Lord" Randall? Shouldn't it just be "Randall"?

[@stephensanfilippo1845]

The mother is the widow of Lord Randall, so her eldest son is Lord Randall.

[@MrBashfulbob]

Does anybody know who is singing this?

I can't believe it! Dylan ripped off the world's best song!

[@robertnewell5057]

Not sure this is the world's BEST song, but Dylan certainly ripped off the vocal riff and part of one version of the tune. Dylan has loads of great ripoffs: Bob Dylan's Dream (Lord Franklyn), Masters of War (Nottamun Town), Ballad in Plain D (I loved a lass) and so on right up to Scarlet Town (Barbara Allen). That's folk music for you, and he always add something both unique and yet related to the original. So in BDD the ship becomes a train, emblematic of the expansion of the US in the same way the ship was for the expansion of the UK, and instead of going home (to friends and family), it's going to the West (away from them). Christopher Ricks describes thsi sort of thing much better than I ever could (and at great length) and has loads of lectures on KZbin. In fact, I think I'll listen to one right now.

[@6jackace]

To be fair he didn't just rip it off, he definitely took the vocal riff from it, but let's face it Dylan's hard rain, is far superior to lord Randall in melody and lyrics

[@danari4067]

Its not a rip off to sing a ballad? Or use parts of a ballad? That's just carrying on its oral tradition.

[@alexandrac9536]

it's not ripping off, it's honoring a tradition. and no one owns the rights to an anon ballad anyway

[@monsieurbreakyourpc]

Yup. Look up Henry my son by world music lol. Hardly anything dylan wrote was ever original.
