Stacey Kent - Come Live With Me

Fan video. Audio with Pictures and Video. From the Soundtrack to the 1995 version of Richard III. The Shakespearean play about a murderously scheming king which in this adaptation is staged in an alternative fascist England.

What a suitable song for this film, seeing as the words were written by Marlowe - a contemporary of Shakespeare. And Stacey Kent actually appears in the film singing the song on stage. Thanks for uploading!

What a film, what a cast, what brilliant music! Thanks for this out-take.

This was our first dance song at our wedding. We had guests join us, just like in the movie!

[@samfinbury3805]

What a wonderful choice for a first dance at a wedding! 👌🏻

The lyrics I transcribed and based on Christopher Marlowe's "The Passionate Shepherd to His Love." Isn't this a great song? Just love it and Stacy Kent. Enjoy! Come live with me and be my love, And we will all the pleasures prove That hills and valleys, dales, and fields, And all the craggy mountains yields. Come live with me, and be my love. There will I make you a bed of roses With a thousand fragrant posies, And if these pleasures may you move, Then live with me, and be my love, Come live with me, and be my love. (break) The shepherds’ swains shall dance and sing For your delight each May morning: If these delights your mind may move, Then live with me and be my love, Come live with me and be my love. (break) Come live with me and be my love, And we will all the pleasures prove A belt of straw and ivy buds, With coral clasps and amber studs: Come live with me, and be my love. There will I make you a bed of roses With a thousand fragrant posies, And if these pleasures may you move, Then live with me and be my love, Come live with me, and be my love. (break) If that the world and love were young And truth in every shepherds’ tongue These pretty pleasures might me moved To live with you and be your love Come live with me, and be my love.

Mostly...the last stanza comes from Sir Walter Raleigh’s “The Nymph’s Reply to the Shepherd”.

[@missk8tie]

​@@neildennis7294yep, she's saying that's nice but no

[@lufeli777]

This music is so smooth that you can believe it exist. The voice of Stacey singing thid is unique. All versions song by other singers don't have this simplicity e joy. Fantastic, Big heil to Stacey.

Lyrics: Come live with me and be my love And we will all the pleasures prove That hills and valleys, dales and fields, And all the craggy mountains yields. Come live with me, and be my love. There will I make you beds of roses With a thousand fragrant posies, And if these pleasures may you move, Come live with me, and be my love. Come live with me, and be my love. The shepherds' swains shall dance and sing For your delight each May morning: If these delights your mind may move, Then live with me, and be my love. Come live with me, and be my love. Come live with me, and be my love, And we will all the pleasures prove A belt of straw and ivy buds, With coral clasps and amber studs; Come live with me, and be my love. There will I make you beds of roses With a thousand fragrant posies, And if these pleasures may you move, Then live with me, and be my love. Come live with me, and be my love. If that the world and love were young And truth in every shepherds' tongue These pretty pleasures might me moved To live with you, and be your love Come live with me, and be my love.

[@LeptitFrantz1]

this film is simply fantastic, ...and the excellent score was composed by Trevor Jones : a fair sample of other snipets of his music can be heard on this website and are well worth looking for ! Thanks for the post

[@idaho_girl]

I used the original poem to help transcribe the lyrics. Enjoy Come live with me and be my love, And we will all the pleasures prove That hills and valleys, dales, and fields, And all the craggy mountains yields. Come live with me, and be my love. There will I make you a bed of roses With a thousand fragrant posies. And if these pleasures may you move, Then live with me, and be my love, Come live with me, and be my love. (break) The shepherds’ swains shall dance and sing For your delight each May morning: If these delights your mind may move, Then live with me and be my love. Come live with me and be my love. (break) Come live with me and be my love, And we will all the pleasures prove. A belt of straw and ivy buds, With coral clasps and amber studs: Come live with me, and be my love. There will I make you a bed of roses With a thousand fragrant posies. And if these pleasures may you move, Then live with me and be my love. Come live with me, and be my love. (break) If that the world and love were young And truth in every shepherds’ tongue, These pretty pleasures might me moved To live with you and be your love. Come live with me, and be my love.

I watched the movie and fell in love with the song... and when I looked it up and figured it's Stacey's, I was like: "Sure... Why am I not surprised?"

[@ernshaw78]

I do love this song so very much

[@maalula]

iT'S SIMPLY A JOY TO LISTEN TO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@rickgomez2885]

Watched this in 2019, but just wanted to say thanks for posting this well done video!

[@charlesmaeger9962]

Flash Heart Aussie, Thank you for posting this song. Most times I hear it I can't help but get into a happier frame of mind. Love the adaption made of Shakespeare's Richard the Third in this movie. Other really good adaptions are 'Hamlet 2000' and 'Titus Andronicus' with Anthony Hopkins and Jessica Lange.

[@flasheartaus]

+Charles Maeger Thanks, I will take a look at those movies.

[@janwintz8372]

Charles Maeger Two great actors, Anthony Hopkins and Jessica Lange! Jan

[@7duffsANDaBUDlight]

if i had a voice like hers i'd sing all the time

[@RozlynBurgin]

Beautiful ❤

[@maalula]

Superb!!

[@tammyoutofthepast]

Brilliant!

[@MJLeger-yj1ww]

Thanks for posting the lyrics, I could not have gotten them all from the song.

[@charlesmaeger9962]

This song could sing me right onto the decks of The HMS Titanic (on its maiden voyage) without even a second thought.

[@ernesthill2681]

Not to split hairs, but it's 'RMS', not 'HMS'

[@celse4402]

Wonderful song

[@ernesthill2681]

Marvelous 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@wiltrudgoldschmidt2362]

Wouldn't Christopher Marlowe be delighted? This song alone is worth watching Richard III.

[@flasheartaus]

Wow, I hadn't noticed that. I will have to watch it again now.

Also Tim McInerney from Blackadder

[@antoinelles]

Where did you take the original track?

[@RozlynBurgin]

Beautiful ❤ 3:48 ....

[@flasheartaus]

I sometimes have a similar problem but mine are compacted to a fraction of a second. What program are you using for the conversion? Have you tried any of the online converters like snipmp3? I just gave it ago with that and it came out ok...

[@victorbrunswick]

The song is reprised in a brief scene where Richard is gloating after having seduced Lady Anne.

[@Sommer57]

Where can I get this soundtrack?

[@mushroomman733]

U don't?

[@flasheartaus]

+Sommer57 I wish I knew. I have no idea where I got the song in the first place.
