Cover of "Safe and Sound" from the upcoming Hunger Games movie, vocals and instumental by me. :)
================================
[[ NOTES: ]]
I know I literally just uploaded a cover a few days ago, but I couldn't resist posting this since I finished it tonight! It's a cover of the song "Safe and Sound" from the soundtrack of the upcoming Hunger Games movie. I think Taylor Swift and The Civil Wars did a beautiful job with the original -- when I first listened to it I literally wanted to cry! The lyrics are perfect. It's incredible.
This can't compare to the real version, but I really hope you guys like it... And if you haven't read The Hunger Games yet, I'm telling you -- you're missing out! Go buy or borrow a copy. You won't regret it.
Thanks so much for listening! ♥ :)
========================
[[ LYRICS: ]]
I remember tears streaming down your face,
when I said I'll never let you go.
When all the shadows almost killed your light,
I remember you said don't leave me alone.
But all that's dead and gone in the past,
Tonight.
Just closes your eyes, the sun is going down.
You'll be alright, no one can hurt you now.
Come morning light, you and I'll be safe and sound.
Don't you dare look out your window,
Darling, everything's on fire.
The war outside our door keeps raging on.
Hold onto this lullaby,
even when the music's gone.
Gone.
Just closes your eyes, the sun is going down.
You'll be alright, no one can hurt you now.
Come morning light, you and I'll be safe and sound.
Just closes your eyes, you'll be alright.
Come morning light, you and I'll be safe and sound.

I've always imagined this to be the ghost of Prim wandering the ruins of District 12, singing back some version of what Katniss sang to her.
So have I. That just makes it sadder, both this song and Primrose`s death.
Dude, I’m crying. That’s so beautiful but sad at the same time.
Kill them. Pretend that they’re The guy who killed Rue
Now I'm crying
Joshua Fagan I agree with you
While I'm listening to this song, I think about two moments in the book:
1. Katniss and Prim are sitting under district 13, before the crazy cat game. Thirteen District is on fire.
2. Prim is in the Kapitol, she's helping the children, who haven't died yet. Then... it's Prim and Katniss who are on fire...
And then, it becomes really hard to me not to cry...
WHY?
Katniss' father. Rue. Mags. Finnick. Prim. Madge. That's not the end of the list.
I do not know, how Katniss could handle this...
almost every death in the hunger games (except Snow and Coin) was really sad but especially Prim's death made me cry😭😭😭 she is my favorite character and never hurt anyone. She just wanted to help people and was always kind to everyone.
Hey, guys! For anyone wondering where my original version of "The Hanging Tree" went, I didn't remove it - it's been wrongfully copyright claimed, so that's why it's not showing up at the moment. I think it may have gotten caught in a sweep and they mistook it for an unlawful upload of the Jennifer Lawrence's movie version, but I've filed a counterclaim and hopefully it should be up again soon. Sorry for the inconvenience, and thanks so much for the kind words! Keep checking back. :)
is it still on itunes? Or did they take that down too???
epicmaddie It's still available for download on iTunes and Loudr! The track has been legally licensed to sell and distribute, so it should stay up on those sites in the meantime. Hoping the video is back up soon, though! So sorry for the inconvenience, I'm pretty frustrated, as well. :(
***** Oh ma Gawd I almost thought that you deleted for good! It's not even copyright though how dare CZcams take it down!
I'm sorry that happened. Hope they put it back. I much prefer your version.
I was literally about to comment asking about it. I love it so much
Hunger Games sometimes reminds me of Les Miserables...
- Rue's Lullaby is A Little Fall Of Rain,
- The Hanging Tree is Do You Hear The People Sing,
- In this picture Katniss is wearing Eponine's coat.
I've never noticed that before! I love Les Mis!
Everyone keeps saying how this is Taylor Swift's song. Sure, she wrote the lyrics but the Hunger Games used the tune so it is considered a Hunger Games song.
Kinda like how "Let it Go" is a Demi Lovato song, but they used it in Frozen? -_-
Lamia Hassan
no, b/c Demi Lovato didn't Write Let it Go, she merely made a cover of it
fanaticalParadox ! oh I didn't know that srry
And Taylor Swift did not write the lyrics to this song- the lyrics were original to the HG books
That's not true. Suzanne Collins wrote the original lyrics to The Valley Song (Deep in the Meadow; Rue's Lullaby in the movies) and The Hanging Tree, but Safe & Sound is all Taylor Swift and MAYBE some other, non-author writers.
Edit: This was co-written by Taylor Swift and The Civil Wars (Joy Williams & John Paul White), but definitely not Suzanne Collins.
you have a very whimsical voice ;u; its beautiful
oh dang this is wild. 8 years ago! I love seeing comments from youtubers back before they got big haha
omg your voice is of an angel. your song makes me feel like im in heaven
Well said! I love all of her songs.
Wake up! You can't go to heaven yet! You need to be alive to listen to more music! T.T
Julianne Meadows true that
Lol ;)
My Mårtensson true, true. Also, (NOT MEANT TO BE OFFENSIVE) I was just replying, as the original comment implied Christianity. :P
Am I the only one who thinks she could replace every single pop singer there is and the world of music would be a lot better?
Nope your not the only one 🙋🏼
All in favour say I (idk)
I
i totally agree
Astha Thakur I agree with you. I think that she truly can sing but she can't sing something else but acoustic music.
Moonfire27 yep
Ma'am you have just earned yourself a subscription
your an amazing singer!!!!!!!! love your cover for The Hanging Tree!
It should be You're not your, but I totally agree!
Lauren Middleton
no lol, it should be "your" XD
You're is an barite action for you are and in that sentence that doesn't make sense so therefore it is your
Are you an idiot? It's "you're" not "your"... What sense makes "your" in this sentence you idiot?
Jesus rude much?
You deserve WAY more subscribers. I could listen to your GORGEOUS singing for HOURS!! I think that you are an amazing singer, and you have so much wonderful potential. Thank you so much for sharing your amazing singing skills with us. I may just be some random person within the many million people here, but I am blown away by your voice. I will stay by your side always
Holy butts your vibrato. The way you change pitch combined with the harp makes it almost sound like an Irish folk song.
Just sit a while and think about the pain and suffering katniss went through in the books while listening to this, it almost puts a tear in my eye!
Many years after the Revolution Katniss' daughter came home from school and told her, a real veteran from the battle was at their school today. He told them about how the fight was, the Capitol killing many people and that he came originally from district 12. The little girl asked her mother: "Did you know a Gale Hawthorne?"

You are easily one of the best singers I have heard. I love your voice, pure and crystalline and haunting. Never stop singing!
Best cover !
This sent chills down my spine, this sounds so weird!!! The way the notes rattle, it's diffrent.... I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!
I always listen to this before I go to bed, her amazing voice just lulls me to sleep
I've been subscribed to you for 9 years, since this was uploaded! I was obsessed with your covers while I was growing up. You put a tune to songs written with no tune (not this song but the hanging tree and the lullaby) it was inspiring! I stop by every now and again to listen to my old favorites again. Thank you for keeping these up and sharing your amazing voice!
Two days ago I started listening to this cover and I can't stop. Great job. It's amazing.
you should try to contact the director of the hunger games! I'm sure he'd use your songs, especially you version of the hanging tree!
Music rarely makes me cry. But this song... It brought me to tears. Not even the original song brought me to tears.
You got yourself a new subscriber! You're voice is so beautiful and I love your covers! I only just discovered you and oh my god... *.* buying this on itunes now!!!
(Teardrop) I love all your videos. Especially the kingdom hearts covers that make me cry. I think you have an astonishingly beautiful tone in your voice that just calms people and really is amazing. I love your voice and I love the way you sang this song and all your other songs. My first song I listened to by you was "I see the light" and it was gorgeous. I saw you did Zelda covers, KH covers, and other Disney covers and I just absolutely adored them. Thank you for this wonderful cover and all the others you do. You deserve a million subscribers. Especially after you made me cry multiple times by your voice that can move mountains.
Girl, this is incredible, i cant even comprehend it
This song is so beautiful! I'm so glad I downloaded it! I listen to it almost every day!
I listen to this song and see the picture and all I can do is sit here and try not to cry
you truly have what only other singers can call a miracle voice.
your voice gives me chills in the best way possible
Your voice is so unique! :) It kind of sounds like Japanese singer KOKIA! :) Keep up the great work!
I'M FANGIRLING AHHH YOUR VOICE IS EVERYTHING IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL
You have a beautiful voice! This cover is amazing and the song is literally perfect for your voice (also I love your versions of the hanging tree and rue's lullaby:)
Wow! That was amazing! Your voice is perfect! It is so much more real that the origonal with no holwood editing. Your are posibly one of the best singers ever!
You are brilliant!!I am a big fan of the Hunger Games and you make the songs so much better by singing them like this!! I also think you should make a cover of Colors of the Wind.
kool
beautiful, simply beautiful
Your Hunger Games covers are absolutely amazing!
your hunger games arrangements are just beautiful .. I'm here crying because they just make me tingling inside ..
I wanna sing like you, but I can't. You've got an angel's voice. Really stunning ;).
Katniss' son and daughter run up to her and peeta. A boy with light a gray eye and a green come up a few feet behind them.the daughter said that his name was andrew. And then a girl bout five came and puncged her brother. A man comes behind her and picked her up. The man smiles and the daughter starts singing this song. The man laught and said catnip. Meet catnip.
No offense but you might want to work on your grammar
OMG!!! Ikr!! It's like soooo cool! I flipped out coz like my name and stuff and yeah!

Who said this was okay? No one.
I said it was ok
you have the most beautiful voice ever! the way you control it, is just amazing !

Never hurt yourself darlin', pick up your head, the waterfall is coming. Let the tears shine out like stars, everyone loves you. Don't be a shadow. Shine out. You are not alone. Nobody can hurt hurt you. No matter what, people love you. Stay strong.
Taylor Swift just got an extra life. Because she got 1UP'd. Awesome work!

Yes! I agree with you, she should cover like literally all disney songs. Colors of the Wind, Reflection (Mulan)!
I love all your Songs and your wonderful voice which is so special and full of emotions. thx for letting us hear your voice as often as we want to. 😙
Ok I've been listening to all your songs and you have true talent and I especially love the hanging tree!! You are amazing
This song reminds me when I lost my own daughter in a car crash! I used to play this song for her all the time! RIP Kate, Prime, and Rue
i am sorry for your loss
My condolences 💐
Can you do Carry on wayward son the lullaby version?
I just can't listen to this music in your voice without crying. You sounds like an angel.
Adri has such a beautiful voice!
That picture is not okay. Fire around them? FEELS!
Are you talking about what happens in the last book? Near the end (didnt want to spoil)
Jordan Comfort yeah
Gemel Six ah ya that was sad, she is one of the more likable people in that book....
Jordan Comfort It happened so fast so I couldn't really process it.
Gemel Six ya i had to re-read some of it to understand what was going on.
this got me crying
Same! But I NEVER cry. Especially during music. This is the first song to bring me to tears
Nova Koster same
I love your video's, they're definately easy to find and your voice is beautiful so it makes them that much better. Keep going and keep singing! ^_^
Your voice has this kinda Celtic feel to it that just suits this song to perfection. This has got to be the most beautiful song Taylor has ever made. I'd say your version is on par with Taylor's cause both of them are so emotional, they wanna make me cry.
i love this so much, thank you for making something so amazing ^_^
I've been listening to this for like a year and I'm only realizing now that this is not the original?!?
I find pleasure in listening to your amazing voice before I sleep your voice is a beautiful lullaby
beautiful :) love the cover - it is a cover because of the awesome way you song the song (i don't think covers are when people sing the song in exactly the same way) you should continue doing songs, because you deserve recognition :D
glad to know people appreciate the hunger games as much as me. :)
It's really better than the orinal song. Your voice is amazing!
I think this is the first time I have heard this song- and I loved it! You have a very good voice!
Listened to this, i dont know..loads and everytime Im close to tears, the first time I watched this i cried...your amazing never give up.
this is as good as Taylor (and I'm a Swiftie)
Wow. So beautiful.
You are such a brill singer I love all ur hunger games covers!
I absolutely love the rasp in the vocals. It's a beautiful rendition!
If you listen closely, it sounds like a flute and not a voice... I'm not sure if that's good or not
It's a good thing. Also, in case you hadn't noticed, flutes can't sing words. :)
You're right it sounds like a flute but i love it. Definitely good!
What prodigy flute player have you been listening too? I can't play flute that damn perfect. But, yeah, if a flutist had perfect sound it would be a lot like her voice.
NICONICONIIIIIIIII
Thank God someone else noticed. I thought I was the only one!
Hey, I hope you can find time to reply to this... But I think you're a beautiful person, with a beautiful voice(Almost unrealistically so!) and your songs have kept me alive for so long... I have been going through some really dark time at the moment... And your songs always make me feel better... So I want to thank you for always being there for me, even though you don't realize it.... As I said I hope you can find time to reply to this... Maybe we could get to know each other... That would make me so happy... Anyways have an amazing day, and an even more amazing life.
I get what you mean. I've suffered dark times too. Hunger games keeps you strong. No kidding! Stay strong. And I thank this artist aswell :)
Whenever i was sad, or scared, i would always sing this to myself. I never knew where it was from or what it was called, but the tune was just so soothing. I have a strong attatchment to this song, but i could never find it. And now, i found it. Thank you so much.
your voice and the calmness of the song brought comfort to me ^^
My only question is why did you make your voice shake so much while singing? I realize it sounds beautiful and sends shivers, but I just feel like you overdid it... Not hating on your singing capability, or your great CZcams channel, or anything, jus to be clear!
You did an AMAZING job on this one!!
yeah, great job though
+Farah H Some peoples voices have a natural vibrato while singing, and here is an example of someone who can use it well. Use what cha' got, ya know?
opalwolf12 Ah ok, thanks for the info! ;)
she probably did it because she wanted us to feel the pain in Katniss' voice as she sang.
Hey all! I'm considering learning an instrument, I'm thinking of guitar, but what would you recommend?? XxxX
I play guitar myself and I would really recommend it! x
+Anna thanks d
Alongside that you should learn some basic piano. It's always good to know how to play the piano.
Earn piano first. After that, it's much easier to read music and...well, actually know how to make music
+Declan DSI Thanks
I've been waiting to find a cover of this that doesn't suck for so long. Your voice is so lovely. Thank you for existing.
I love your voice you've had many other songs before this one and I found this one and you've done fantastic! You did great, I had no Idea you where a fan of HG! Thats great! :)
Reminds me of Avatar the Last Airbender, comic version. Who knows what I'm talking about?
I second this.
Lin Pham YESSSSS
Do for the first time in forever
YES PLEASE!!
that windows open so's that door, I didn't know they did that anymore
Alyssa Shane
My Real Name Is Alyssa. ^-^
Love This cover! Brilliantly done
Oh my goodness. Hearing this and closing my eyes sounds like I'm in a 'magical forest' and a little faerie is singing to the flowers. You are magnificent.
Im not crying... my eyes are misting ;-;
I do not remember this song in book
It is not in the book it is in the movie.
Katie Forman It is actually in neither
Avril mackenzie It is in the credits, I don't know what order but probably the first or second. Because if you look at the soundtrack you might find it there.
Katie Forman I practically live and breath hunger games. I've listened to the credits music and it is not on there. These soundtracks were agreed to be made about the hunger games by the studio. I'm obsessed with the hunger games. You could call me a mega fan.
Avril mackenzie ***** So it seems like you're not breathing it enough. It is the second song in the credits. It's a song from Taylor Swift, you can look for the original video and you'll see it's a video for The Hunger Games practically.
You are honestly sooo talented! Please keep it up x
Way way WAY better than the original ! There's not a word that explains your voice ! It's just WOW ! You gained a new subscriber ❤️
your amazing
This song is so nice...
Beautiful Voice. Your really good. You inspired me to go back into piano. Keep up the AMAZING work!
I'm french, and I love your songs
"continue comme ça tu mérite d'être connue"
Is the girl Katniss is holding Primrose?It looks like Sophia the First
+TheBest Temmie No, it's definitely Prim. XD
we want see you pls not only a cover
Absolutely beautiful. You have a GORGEOUS voice!
Your voice is PERFECTION! It's like a mix of Casey Williams (because of how high you both can go) and Karliene (because of your Celtic sound). It's just awesome!!!
Run daddy run?
Most like the hanging tree but this is also a f*cking Nice cover
This is the internet. You can swear.
OMG!!! Im obsessed with all the songs you sing and the movies their from. I love u (brotherly love lol) CONGRATS!!!! YOUVE GOT YOUR FIRST CRAZED FANGIRL 3333333
Oh my gosh, that little twang in your voice is so cool! Your voice is just so beautiful!
Your voice is amazing but when you were bringing your voice up and down like country it annoyed me. Other than that your cover was great :)
It's a singing style, and isn't restricted to just country music, although I can see how it might annoy some people.
ElectricPhoenix Well , she is from Nashville ( and to my knowledge still lives there ) so its understandable that she might have picked that up
Taylor swift (original singer) is from the country, so the tune ETC relates to that :)
Better Than Tay Tay(Taylor Swift) ;)
+Josie Nah. Also, this featured The Civil Wars too.
I'm surprised you just now found this comment considering how old it is but no one really considered The Civil Wars even if they were pretty good. I still dislike Taylor though.
No one is better than "Tay tay":)
I read all the books, and they generally moved either too fast or too slow in them. If peoples lives revolve around it, fine. Adriana just has a freakin perfect voice, and needs to do more :)
I almost cried. This is so beautiful!
You are editing your voice too much on this song
Katelynn campbell Thanks for the input! My vocals are not pitch corrected or tuned at all in this song, though - the only thing I did was add some reverb, so there was very minimal editing done on the track at all.
And here we have is someone who thinks they know everything about music production. This is barely edited. However, know that everyone of your favorite artists edit their voice.
it's not uncommon.
+ConClarion Thank you, I did not mean to sound rude with that comment, ( 7 months ago. ) This cover is very excellent, many cannot do this with their voice, this is truly a gift.
+Katelynn campbell Ahh.. so (I shall pledge not to use sarcasm) it's like : "Your voice is beautiful just the way it is don't use too much editing on it.." comment? Am I right?
Seriously Taylor pales in comparison
Been listening to your stuff. You're an amazing artist I hope you continue to produce music in the future I've heard alot of your music while deployed I had no idea about the hunger games I just loved your music.
Amazing. Your voice is so unique! I love it! So beautiful. I also love the picture.
