[@ChelseaH1]

It makes me happy to see a song where the sopranos are harmonizing the altos, since it’s most usually the other way around. Lovely version!

[@bcowan1943]

[@MarkBruceUK]

Is it possible to say "soft and fine" any better than that?

[@Riqtam]

True dat

[@gabirusama3072]

Impossible

[@privateidaho1029]

Something about the way she sings those lyrics is haunting

[@Soma81]

Yes

[@armanddefrank7984]

No

[@jonasuck1232]

My name is Clementine (but french version, so pronounced Clementeen). My french mum used to sing the 'Oh my darling, oh my darling, oh my darling Clementine' when I was sad to comfort me when I was little to stop me crying. I never thought it was a real song, I thought is was a tune and she put it to words. I'm 18 now, and finding this, this song and the spectral verses about the miner's daughter and the women singing it for the first time. Its like I'm 3 again, sitting on my mum's lap and feeling the tears well up again.

[@patrickfoster4586]

Beautiful story. I don't know why but I seem to have this strong connection to this song as well. God bless u Clementine!

[@clemenmauric8351]

Dont let me down I feel you, my name is Clementine (Clementina) and I use to have a toy that will sing me this song and I loved it.

[@ravenscrazylifeforever3091]

+Don't let me down my mom used to sing this song to me when I was little, until one day when I was about four or five, my mom sang the beginning of the song to me and I asked her, "Wait! Why did the miner's daughter go away?" and she told me, "Oh, she died!Isn't that sad?" After that, my mom tried to sing it to me a few times, but I would just start crying and tell her to stop!

[@behnasokba2265]

beautiful words you said Clementine,, tres jolie :-)

[@Wolfenstein49]

Haha almost sounds like magyar, sounds like clementeena

[@Wolfenstein49]

The harmony is haunting and beautiful at the same time.

[@krystinasaragos1535]

i love the lady who starts singing at 1:06.

[@rajeshandroid17]

seriously what a heavenly voice she has....i would b lost in dreams with that voice

[@victoriahaskins8576]

Me, too. Does anyone happen to know her name? Or where I could find more music that she sings in?

[@belkacemiadil4552]

Me too, I love it she has a good & sweety voice .

[@myrthosbarthos3492]

Oi, in the queue! I’ve fallen in love with her already!

[@myrthosbarthos3492]

I publicly declare I’ve never heard a more heavenly voices and I am falling in love with this out of this world choir!

[@chris-toobis99]

The best version of this song on KZbin!

You mean it beats the one with the banjos

[@IrlandaDenisseIniguezRangelAbo]

Agree

[@CharlesCranston]

You know what finally hit me why I liked this video beyond the ethereal voices and the pretty faces is all the ladies and the whole scene looks like it comes straight out of a Toulouse-Lautrec painting.

[@eriniascruzflores105]

In a cavern, in a canyon, excavating for a mine Lived a miner forty-niner. and his daughter Clementine. Oh my darling, oh my darling. Oh my darling, Clementine, You were lost and gone forever, dreadful sorrow, Clementine. Drove the horses to the water, every morning just at nine. Stuck her foot against a splinter, fell into the foaming brine. Oh my darling, oh my darling. Oh my darling, Clementine, You were lost and gone forever, dreadful sorrow, Clementine. Ruby lips above the water, blowing bubbles soft and fine. But at last, I was no swimmer, so I lost my Clementine. Oh my darling, oh my darling. Oh my darling, Clementine, You were lost and gone forever, dreadful sorrow, Clementine. In my dreams she still doth haunt me, robed in garments, soaked with brine How in life I used to hug her, now she’s dead I’ll draw the line. Oh my darling, oh my darling. Oh my darling, Clementine, You were lost and gone forever, dreadful sorrow, Clementine.

[@sofang930]

Hauntingly morbid and angelic at the same time. Amazing ladies, great job. *Standing Ovation/applause*

[@bigtoad45]

Reminds me of my daughter... Her mother killed her in 1984... I never recovered from it. All these years later I am still broken.... Yet I still have faith... I do.......

[@Snaab326]

[@EnjoytheRiide]

It gets very chilling and intense at exactly 1:00. The girl who sings "ruby lips above the water blowing bubbles soft and fine, but alas I was no swimmer so I lost my clementine" deserves a medal!

[@bluelitecamperchannel6358]

beautiful.

[@daniellanglois89]

This audio is so beautiful, it absolutely must be preserved in some sort of historical archive, so that people will always be able to hear it.

[@jbh4151]

I really hope and believe that Clementine will live, especially in the last episode of the second season. However, this version of the song would be really good to use in the series. Maybe if another character died and she took it personally?

[@reelhopecinema]

I didn't even realize this and I watch TWD...weird.

[@HalVerArt]

sike guys, she has her own last season, and the song is featured in it!!

[@DiaperSNiFFER]

Noo screw that

[@HJY0413]

When I was young I used to listen to this to fall asleep Their Angelic voices seemed to sooth my sorrows away Even if it was slightly scraggly due to being video recorded on my DS Coming back here after who knows how many years is such a comfort And the voices are even more angelic than I remembered

[@daniellanglois89]

Hi you're wonderful and beautiful

[@JHowesitgoing123]

The singing is fine, but the lyrics are incorrect. Why change them? You've made them less morbid, actually. Not in a good way, either.

[@oblivionfan97]

Yeah it seems that a lot of versions have been made "child friendly" it's kind of sad.

[@supercalifragilestic]

Who is the soloist? 1:10 "ruby lips above the water..." Just lovely. Edit: nvm, found the name, I see she's not a full-time singer... pitty. Pay her, beg her, do whatever you have to, just get her to sing more for us to swoon over ^.^

[@josephfarr8644]

do share the name!

[@supercalifragilestic]

Joseph Farr She's not a public figure, but she doesn't seem to have any qualms about sharing info either. Her name is Frida Koci Liljedahl.

any idea who the singer is 0:51 with the yellow necklace? She stands next to the singer holding the bird.

[@tainted_sugarmill]

They were gonna make Clementine die in season two by dying with frostbite if you choose to keep holding AJ, or leave AJ to die, and you'll die to. BUT they scrapped that idea. (Thank god)

[@justbreathe549]

I love this version!. The video is also amazing, the ethereal voices combined with a wardrobe that looks just like a Toulouse-Lautrec painting blows my mind. What makes me feel a little ashamed is how turned on I get when I hear the little solo in 1:06, whoever she is, her voice sents a shiver through my spine and leaves me all hot and bothered.

[@jimmylittle9393]

Beautiful women singing a beautiful song. Always enjoyed this tune since hearing it on Star Trek Voyager.

[@MrQadeer91]

this is a good but rendition but what they are missing is the cheerful melody that added a kind of darkness to it. in this version they embrace the dark message and convey that message through the song.

[@javierhausteenvivo]

It's called originality. They made their work, just not a copy of anything else.

[@MrQadeer91]

Javier Hausteen López I'm not saying it is not original. It is original, but in making their original work, they failed in their execution and lost what made the first version give it it's meaning.

[@nbuehster]

Sorry, but, since we know what the song's about, I always think that the last "You are lost and gone forever, Dreadful sorry Clementine." should be followed by "Well, I guess I'm not too sorry. Wasn't my fault, Clementine.".
