#10years #milestone #RachelHardy
10 years of pure quality content that have made the last 3 years of me studying, reading, and just vibing pure bliss
“Bliss vibing” someone needs to name a spotify playlist that
I am excited to see all the places you'll go, the music you'll write, and the songs you will sing. Happy 10th anniversary, Rachel! Here's to 100 more years. Somehow. haha! ❤
Thank you so much Malukah! It would be a dream to collaborate with you one of these days.
@@RachelHardy That would be fantastic!
Pleaaase collab, you two are amazing
Aaaaaaanytime. :D @@RachelHardy
Randomly found your channel when CZcams recommended a cover you'd done of a song from Skyrim.
Not all of the music you cover is for me, but it's clear you pour dedication and care into each video, and I'm happy it's worked out well for you and hope you'll keep going.
Your cover of Scarborough Fair is the one I keep coming back to - to me, it's better than the original.
Thanks so much for sticking around, even if some videos aren’t your cup of tea!! Its so appreciated ❤
Congratulations
Listened to your stuff on repeat for years, probably 10k views on "The Dawn Will Come" is me. Thank you for delivering this awesome music to us!
Congratulations Rachel. You are an incredible performer, superb choreographer and amazing artist. I wish you all the success in the world. You truly deserve it. Port goes best with cheese, at least in England.
Well i hope you had some good Port then!!!
& thank you!
Huge congratulations! Here's to 20 more!! 💚😊🙌
Cold Calgary garage training is a canon event. Congrats on 10 - excited to see whats next!
Thanks David!!
Most of your covers I've never heard the originals and as for fantasy, lotr and got is about as far as my knowledge goes, point is, it's your actual voice that keeps me coming back, theres just something about it, and it calms my anxiety better than any meds etc ive ever tried. Amazing singer, beautiful soul, here's to another 10 + years
So glad to hear the music has helped you in some way. Comments like this make me so happy. Thank you for the kind words!
It's amazing that it has been 10 years!
I found you from your compositions, among which my favorite was "Vivere"!
I've always loved how expressive and sincere your songs and music is, and It has been an absolute treat to see your talent and skill grow over the past decade.
I can't wait to see how the future unfolds!
Wow, i think you are definitely in the minority finding me from my little compositions!! Thank you for sticking around!
You have such a beautiful voice, thank you for all the wonderful music.
Congrats, Rachel! It was an absolute dream come true hearing you sing one of my own original songs. Here’s to 10 more years 🥃 😎
It was such a pleasure working with you John!!!
@@RachelHardy We’ll have to do it again sometime! Also love the derpy, yet adorable thumbnail.
Sláinte!
We love you Rachel! ❤
Rachel! This was amazing to watch! What an amazing journey! You deserve all the love and support! You are such an immense talent and someone I look up to! Thank you for all your hard work, sharing your beautiful talent and kind heart with us! Thank you for giving me the opportunity to collaborate with you. It meant so much! Big congratulations to you, and cheers to many MANY more years to come! 💙🎶✨️🤩
Thank you so much for being a part of the journey Amy!! You will go far ❤️✨
Congratulations, Rachel! I believe it was one of your LotR song covers that brought me to your channel. Always nice to see another huge fan; your covers more than do the original songs justice! I hope to see another prosperous ten years ahead for you. May the Valar be with you!
Congratulations 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Your singing is just wonderful 😄 Happy 10 Yeary Anniversary :)
I have been subscribing this channel since Scarborough Fair (still my favorite one). This is one of the channels I know I can wait as long as it needs because I know the songs will be great.
Please never stop.
La bise de la France ❤
I've been here since before the coin video. Always loved your video's and thought they were undervalued.
Also I've been smiling this entire video, the awkwardness about talking just makes it all the sweeter. Thanks for all your hard work ;)
TALKING IS HARD! Thank you so much for sticking around all this time. I really do appreciate it.
As a piano artist it would be an honor to collaborate with you. A warm congratulations to an amazing artist!
Perfect! Well done! Thanks again for all your wonderful music.
Lesss gooo Another 10 Year
heres to a dozen more. good work so far, amazing covers and songs, cant wait to see what you make in the future, i know im a bit late, i usually listen to your spotify
You are amazing! I was so obsessed with your music at first that I made up a NPC for my DnD campaign who is a Bard named Rahel Haard, and I remember the first time I introduced her to the party I played your version of "My jolly sailor bold" and they went crazy. Thank you for all the work that you do and for all your amazing covers! We love you
It was a pleasure to help support you, it was my thank you for the wonderful songs you gave us
Everybody is talking about your talent and how happy they are to be on this journy with you which is all good and fair, but why is nobody talking about the probably best thumbnail ever?! That smile made me actually laugh out loud, such a tone break to the usual ones.
Jokes aside, i actually really enjoyed this little "conversation". Kinda amazing that it has been 10 years, god im old...
Well anyways thanks for all your hard work, time for me to go back to the world of not commenting and just watching your videos, bye!
LOL - my usual thumbnails are part of the “performing”, but this one is just straight up me being me 😂😂 and naww we’re ALL getting old. Thank you for watching!!
Just discovered your channel. Absolutely love your music! Respect
Wow I just discovered this channel tonight as well, she’s awesome! 👏👏💕💕
I know I'm a month late to this but I blame youtube for not showing me. I think how I came to know your channel was through the Toss a coin to your witcher cover. I'd watched the show recently and youtube knew so it lead me to your video. That I thank youtube for.
I watched this video of yours and, if I liked you before, I can assure you I like you twice as much now. Your singing is not only exceptional, it's calming. It brings me instant peace, no matter when or where I hear it. So thank you for not giving up on it and thank you for sharing it with the world.
Also, watching your jokes and your simple yet hilarious editing has brought me unexpected joy. I shows me you're more down to earth and rooted than I thought a big singing content creator would be, so that was awesome.
Thank you for your amazing covers, your voice and the art you put out there. It's always delightful to watch and hear your videos. Your voice is a treasure. Keep it up :)
@Rachel Hardy Hello from Chattanooga, Tennessee, U.S.A. 🇺🇸, you are one of my favorite singers. You have a beautiful singing voice. Keep up the great work.
10 years 10,000 likes. Celebrating with you, Rachel H! ( I miss the blue tongue though! ) I've only journeyed with you this past year. I came across you when you collaborated with Malinda a year ago, but you're a regular fixture now in my listening. Here's to the future!
To be fair, Rachel, you're the one with the gift. Every time you sing I get that shivery, goosebumps feeling that you only get very rarely, from really... amazing talent. So thank YOU, and here's to the next ten years.
We are all so proud of all that you have accomplished in these 10 years. We love the music you create and the collabs you join. Can't wait to hear what you come up with in these next 10 years!
Thank you so much!!!
Amazing 😋
No, honestly, amazing. I'm one of those people that first noticed your channel when you released the last goodbye, and I've been following ever since.
My favorites are movie or game related covers, Toss a coin to your Witcher, Skyrim, Davy Jones and all LotR related songs. Even though I mostly listen to your covers of songs I know myself, it's clear you put your heart and soul into this work, and I'm looking forward to discovering what the future holds for you! 🔥
And no worries about the cheese. As a Dutchman I can only shout for more 🧀
I've been following your channel for about 5-6 years now. You have fantastic talent. You've impressed me so much that your songs are already playing in my car. Just keep going. It's great that you made this video. Thank you for all the wonderful songs!🙂
This video is my second video of you. I just found you and I love your voice ! I also appreciate the efforts in the videos : Decoration, lightning, color temperature, blurry backgrounds, special effects, ...
Verry nice! So, you've got a new fan located in Belgium.
I've watched a few of your covers but learning more about you was delightful. Cheers to 10 more years!
Edgerunners -- Let You Down is my favorite of your covers. You really brightened my day!
I discovered your work with "Down by the river", since I was playing BG3 from the very beginning of the Early Access. It is probably my favorite cover of this song, and I come back to it from time to time... Thanks a lot for your craft!
I love your work, also one of the most hilarious and unexpected things ever was your rickroll. Congratulations on 10 years.
That gave me great satisfaction to do! haha -- thank you for sticking around!
Wow 10 years!! That’s amazing!! Congratulations and I hope you stay on CZcams for 10 more years!! 🥳🥳🥳🎉🎉🎉💕💕💕
Rachel
You are so incredibly amazing 💙
We love you Rachel
Your music and your singing voice is out of the universe phenomenal
Found you a couple of years ago. Thank you for being clean with your content where all can enjoy. I always click the fastest when I see you and Colm collaborate! God Bless You!!!
You are not as bad at talking as you claim. 😉 I mean, it's always a pleasure watching you "singing and staring longingly into the distance" (xD), but it's also nice to get to know you and your personality. Anyway, congrats!
Funny story, I first discovered your channel with your cover on the Last Goodbye. I was in college at the time and I listened to it frequently while I was studying (or just diving down the CZcams rabbit hole when I was supposed to be studying). A while after, I lost track of the video, and tried for the life of me to remember where it was. Then a few years later, I saw your "Toss a coin" cover and thought "Why does she seem so familiar?" Then I remembered the Last Goodbye and searched your channel and realized that it was your video. I have been a subscriber ever since.
You have been doing a fantastic job over the last 10 years! Congratulations on many many many jobs well done!
Keep going, you're doing great!
May God bless you!
Keep making great music!
Oh wow!!! I’m glad you were finally able to find your way back here!!! Thank you for the kind words 😊
That colab with Malinda is how I found your channel. And I must say, you have an amazing voice; you always manage to transpose me in another reality, and yeah, I'm grateful that you decided to stick with music and to upload that first song.
p.s. if I ever happen to hear you record a video in a hotel room, I wouldn't complain. I'd go over and request an encore.
Keep on shining Rachel, you are awesome! Been awesome collaborating with you and look forward to many more to come 🥰
Dear Rachel -- what a pleasure listening to you talking about what you do and your love of music - it bought tears to my eyes -- only discovered you a day ago --- its never too late -- cheers Terry
Met you 3yrs ago, and since then, your voice has accompanied me while writing my book, and still today! I think my mind just set this routine, and I have a mind block if I don't play one of your videos in the background... Thank you so much, Rachel, for being with me, even though you don't know me 😅. Rly exited for future videos! Congrats on your 10yrs!!
You are amazing. Thank you for all your efforts as an artist and a person. I really appreciate your soothing voice and kind personality. I look forward to more of your music coming out. Some of my favorites were the Skyrim covers you did as well as some others that I cannot recall the name of right now. Please keep up the great work. Also, I am so happy you found something you love. It is a blessing. Think Celestial.
Your fan, Leo.
Your cover of the Cyberbpunk edgerunners ending theme was the first video I've watched and got to know your channel. Keep up the good work and good luck!
This was so heartfelt. Granted I haven't watched all your videos - but you're the only cover artist I'm subscribed to. There's really something magical about all the covers you've made over the years. Thank you so much for what you do and a toast for what lies ahead!
The last goodbye was what brought me to your channel, been loving your content ever since. Best wishes for the next 10 years for sure!
5 Days late but I wanted to say congratulations. You probably don’t remember me but I was part of your Patreon as Connor Lease. (I see myself) I found your channel from your cover of My Mother Told Me. I loved it and stayed ever since . I would say my favorite is your cover of The Dragonborne Comes. I was trying to learn that and your version really helped. I also love all your collabs with McGuinness. I’m excited to see what the future holds for you.
Daughter of the Sea is one of the only songs to legitimately make me cry. (the other being Broken Arrows by daughtry) That’s what led me here, it was so beautifully done. Keep doing you, you’ll definitely have listeners no matter what.
Congratulations! Here's for 10 more years of success!🍷
Congrats! I also love your collab with Malinda. I play Into the West with you on my trumpet almost every time when I practise. Cheers!
Thanks for your music, Rachel. You were one of the reasons I started recording my singing as well ;) Thanks for the inspiration
Happy anniversary!! Looking forward to meeting you live some day. (concert tour??) Great to see the 'backstory' on how you got started and, more importantly, where you plan to go in the future. [b.t.w. avatar is my dog George Oscar Bluth]
Rachel, not only do you have an amazing talent, heavenly voice and incredible taste in music - you truly change lives doing what you do. Learning about your endeavors and perseverance on your difficult, yet beautiful journey, makes me appreciate you even more. Thank you for sharing the beauty of your soul! Thank you for bringing a little magic into this Middle Earth of ours.
P.S. Stubbornness is incredibly attractive 😜
Super glad for the Into the West cover! NGL, I play this song when rocking my son to sleep. Thanks for the content!
Great talent. Ezio’s lyrics you wrote it’s insaaaane!!
Both you and your channel have come a long way since I started watching your videos (since last goodbye). Cannot wait to see/hear more in the future 😊
This was a really fun and good video. Thank you for sharing. I saw you first for witcher series cover. And after that looked back even further. Really love the music you do!
Like a few other people I have only recently found you because youtube suggested the Skyrim cover. You hear this all the time, but it is so true that your voice is amazing. It is like listening to an angel. And your personality is great. I am glad you found something true to you and good to do in life. I can't wait to listen to more of you.
I am also surprised to not see any marriage requests in the comments section XD
Hello! It's about 2am in London, Wednesday 29th November 2023. I watched you for the first time last night and was mesmerized by your voice and beauty. God has blessed you, with a lot of hard work from you too of course 😊 Keep up the great work.
Lots of love and have a great Christmas and a productive New Year❤
10 years of your beautiful voice being heard by a great audience. Good to know your humor is still there. We hope you will be continuing it in some form
*retires from having humor*
I take the video piece by piece, your cover of let her go, is really beautiful!
Hello Rachel, I've discovered you recently thanks to the collab with Colm on the song Solider, Poet, King, I will surely watch some more videos of yours, because I really like your voice and the energy. Keep it up!
Candid Rae is awesome! You're so goofy, and I relate to that. I love being goofy and making people laugh, especially my boys. I would love to see more of these types of "talking" videos. It's nice to get to know the amazing woman behind the angelic voice!
You came into my life at a time when I needed you most. I was at work (I work overnight shifts), feeling depressed and sad because it was the one-year anniversary of my mom's death. I was on CZcams looking up covers of the "Halo" theme song, because it helps pick me up when I'm feeling down. As I was watching one of the videos, I noticed a video in the recommendations bar on the side for a song from "Cyberpunk: Edgerunners." I had recently begun playing the game and knew that there was an anime tie-in but had not seen it at the time. Still, I decided to check it out. I'm so glad I did!
I fell in love with your beautiful voice, and your simple yet powerful production! The next video I watched was "Running Up That Hill," which I admit, I wasn't as fond of your cover... at first. I was so used to the more traditional rock/pop covers of the song, so your slower, quieter take on it was just so different that I didn't really know how to respond to it. After watching a few more videos, I decided to go back and give it another try. After that, I was hooked! It was just so hauntingly beautiful, and it really plugged into the emotions that I was feeling at the time. "Running Up That Hill" and "Let You Down" are two of my absolute favorites now. I became an instant fan, and have followed your work on YT and Spotify, getting lots of playtime on both platforms.
I love your content, and always look forward to whatever new stuff you have coming down the pipeline! Stay awesome, stay safe, and God Bless you, Rachel!
U make a lot of the songs i don't usually like likeable. You have a great voice. CONGRATS!
Congratz on ten years! Your Lotr content was what drew me to your channel and I continue to listen to your work; I look forward to another ten years of your beautiful voice!
Thank you so much!! More lotr content to come… maybe even a lotr original…. 🤫
@@RachelHardy I look forward too it!
I am so happy for you. You have been a great inspiration!!!
This was incredibly heartwarming! ❤ I'm so thankful for you sharing so much love with us! All this music in the background is so beautiful along with your amazing speech! 🥰 🥰 🥰
I like listening to you talk and getting to know your personality :) keep up the great work!
Hey Rachel!
Happy to see you growing like this, you are a great singer and I've loved every covers you've made since I've discovered you.
Thank you for sharing your passion with us and may you do that for as long as it pleases you =)
Take care
So cool to hear about your journey. As a fellow musician, it is an inspirational tale.
Happy 10th CZcams anniversary Lady Rae!
Bravo for all those admirable years and for this superb and quite emotional video!
I first discover your channel with "The Last Goodbye" but hadn't subscribed at this time and finally forgot about it (stupid Arslan!). But CZcams offered me a second chance few years ago to rediscover it (I think it was indeed with "Toss A Coin"). I lastly subscribed, joined Discord, Twitch and recently Patreon.
I'm sooo happy and grateful to be part of your wonderful community, legit the best and most welcoming one of internet I've ever been into. I sincerely can't imagine not to be part of it now.
Thanks a million (and it's not even enough) for everything you share with us, and not only your amazing singing contents, your positivity and touching personality too and so many other things that would be too long to enumerate without a good amount of simppills😁 But I must say you are always lovely and radiant and it matters so much.
I promise, I'll still be here in 10 years (and every day until then). Hardy Army and long live the (maple) bean!
Sincere affection ♥️
Thank you so much Arslan, it means the world that you’ve stuck around. Here’s to many more years!
@@RachelHardy Your kind words touched me in the deepest of my heart, you are adorable.
Bless! For many more *successful years! Cheers!
I wish you and the people you are working with the utmost best. I found your channel a few months back, yet there are a lot of covers I really enjoy. Thanks for putting a smile (or other emotional reactions^^) on our faces. :) Also thanks for sharing your thoughts. You sounded very genuine and honest, I think people will connect and react to this the way you deserve. Good things, come to good people - you are one of those people.
We've been with you for quite a while. I remember when I showed a cover to my 7 year old daughter (now 10) and she was speechless after hearing your voice. She begged to hear more and more and more from you. I think we watched everything you had that very night. I will never forget her face she had listening to you. Well done taking her breath away (which continues to this day)!
Congratulations Rachel, your videos are always the highlight of my day thank you truly!
Rachel congratulations on the 10 year. I found you two plus years ago, your voice is like so amazing. I have gone all they way back to the beginning. Watched a few videos i think may have been before starting your CZcams channel your brother or somone hanging around in the background. This has been a fun journey fallowing you. Your voice is mesmerizing voice of an angel. Like your brown eyes over the colored ones. Keep them coming, be safe out there.
It's been amazing to see your growth these last couple of years, really happy for your - well deserved - success ^^
thank you so much!!
Congratulations on sticking with it! Been quite a ride as a viewer for several years, and glad to have seen the evolution of your singing.
Hello Rachel from France! I've been listening your cover since you released the cover of the last goodbye and I can't believe at one point you doubt of your talent. You are amazing and I beg you to continue what you do!
Hi Rachel! Wanted to say thank you for all your really awsome songs! i do have a lot of your song in my D&D itune playlist! My 10 years old son always request your '' Toss a coin to your Witcher'' when we get into the car together :) Love your music and your down to earth personality! You are my favorite local talent. Keep up the hard and good work! Have a great day and wish you the best!
Thank you for the kind words!! Tell your son hi for me!
One Calgary is not normally that cold, but yeah winter of 2013/14 was bloody cold. But if you want cold move to Saskatchewan or Manitoba.
I’ve been following you on CZcams since The Last Goodbye. Your colabs with Colm and Malinda are some of my favourites. Keep up the great work Rachel!!!!!
Very good that you did not give up. You have such a beautiful voice! When you sing it touches the soul!
And I'm pretty sure that a lot of followers also like to see from time to time a video, where you talk about something. It is nice to see a little bit the person behind the singer. :)
Good lock and success on your journey!
btw - why is wine and cheese a stupid "idea"? I know that at least in Germany some people drink wine to cheese (instead of chips e.g.) in the evening.
I always enjoy your videos, they always seem to lift my spirits just when I need it and that's really harder to find these days.
Thanks for providing the bright spots in a darkening world seemingly spinning out of control.
Reading comments like this is one of the reasons I do what I do. I'm glad the music could brighten things up a little bit :)
You made my day. Everytime. Herzlichen Glückwunsch!!!!🤩🤩😍😍
At first I was, why is this in my feed, but quickly realized that I'd been listening to your music for a long time. So congratulations on your 10 years of sharing and growing as an artist. *clicks the subscribe-button*
I enjoyed your talking as much as your singing, and hope you'll do it more. Yer awesome! :) 💞
10 years! Congrats, what a feat that is! I'm not sure at what point I jumped on the Rachel train... 3, 4, 5 years who knows but it's common to stop everything when I see a new cover by you. I didn't know you were Canadian we're basically neighbors from a tiny 3500km walk away from the East coast. Cheers to many more songs. Keep going.
Tossing the coin tossed you right into my feed and I've been listening ever since :) You are great singer!
Thank you for sticking around!
@@RachelHardy Thank you for many great, emotional moments through your music :)
Oh and you really shouldn't think so little about "you just speaking" - it was interesting and you are easy to listen to. I am sure decent amount of people would be interested in hearing you talk and you do seem like a honest, nice person, which makes you even more likeable ;)
Excellent story about these 10 years. Congratulations Rachel!
I randomly found your channel a few years back and I couldn't stop to listen ever since!
Keep doing amazing covers
Thanks Patrick!
You rock Rachel! I came across your CZcams channel about a year ago and immediately told myself: waw, this girl has got an extraordinary voice, real singing talent, and destined for great things and success. Keep up the great work and looking forward to your next covers. Greetings from Belgium
Rachel, you have been an amazing artist to listen to and see what kind of songs you would provide. I haven't been here as long as others but when you did into the west with Malinda, I was in awe with both of your talents. You have an spectacular talent and love being able to watch especially the video game soundtrack covers.
wonderful story - thank you for sharing those insights - very inspiring for sure for many other people out there - keep up your great work. p.s. I love your Land of the Leal version. Brilliant
I've loved your voice since...well I think the first one of yours I came across was the "Into the West" cover but I was hooked and watched as much of your stuff as I could to catch up. You are beautiful in voice and appearance...and now this video gives a glimpse into your delightful personality, too. Wishing you much happiness and continued success from Las Vegas.
Your music is truly beautiful and inspiring. Listen to you is a stress relief and calms in and helps me focus. Thank you for everything you do. Congratulations
Congratulations Rachel❤🎉
