In my book Hayley is simply THE worlds BEST female voice. Please give thumbs up if you agree. Thank you Hayley and thank god for this angel. Long may you live
adamddr I love that you said that because there was a game on the Wii called Endless Ocean that has songs sung by her as you explore the sea. This song introduced the game, so you aren't wrong about the feel of the song xD
I can only imagine how much confidence in one's own abilities it must take to walk out on that stage before such a huge audience, lift the microphone up, and start the song without any music at all. Throughout the entire concert hall there wasn't another sound from anyone or anything. There was just the sheer grace and beauty of this lovely lady's voice and her presence. How fortunate we all are to be able to witness this kind of talent.
She has such an amazing voice -I think she is one of the best singers in the world (her voice is so relaxing and pure). I wish her the best the world has to offer!
I think this is by far my most favourite of her pieces, absolutely beautiful, but a very close second is her cover of scarborough fair she covered in celtic woman.
So I think I figured out the line of thought for the people who picked out the songs for Endless Ocean "We need the music to be as calming as possible." *they hear Hayley, jawdrops all around* "...I think we have a winner"
I agree...I was on the Nintendo "wii" web site, and there's a game called "Endless Ocean", I went to the site and I heard this song playing. I've never heard a purer voice in my life. At first I thought it might be some kind of studio trick to get someone to sound that good, but after watching this live performance, I'm convinced. She is unbelievably amazing! I just had to find out who this was.
wow. I thought this was going to be corny, but it's FANTASTIC this is how it should be...pure and simple. she doesn't over-do it; it's beauty through gentle subtlety
@57bigjoe I totally agree!! Imagine the confidence that she must have to walk out on that stage in front of that huge audience, lift the microphone, and start singing without another sound in the entire theatre. It seems as though the members of the orchestra even sit without moving, at her opening, out of pure respect for this talented lady in their presence!!
I love Endless Ocean. I have been a Scuba Diver since I was in high school, and this is the closest any video game has come to recreating what you see under the water. Also the game introduced me to Hayley Westenra, I have one of her albums that has this song on it. I play it frequently.
Her voice is beautiful. I found out about her last night when I listened to this song on here. It tears right through you with the power of the sun. Yet it doesn't hurt but it is gentle and warm making you feel at peace.
Good for you! Finally, someone who can recognize a beautiful singer even when he doesn't particularly care for the music! If there were more people like you on CZcams there would be a lot less bickering.
I heard this song playing "Endless Ocean" on the Wii. I didnt know who she was prior to finding this video. This is an amazing song and her voice is truly beautiful.
This was my 1st easy listening cd. I was angry at my girlfriend & 1 day I went to K-mart. I pick up this cd out of anger, not thinking about what am doing. I bought the cd along with some other stuff. Then went in my truck & put the cd in & drove off. As I was listening to prayer it hit me so hard. That I started to cry because her voice & the melody touched me.
If anyone knows another singer that can perform this song any better, please, let me know who it is. I would love to hear it. Actually, I won't hold my breath waiting for anyone to come forth, so I will just keep enjoying this PERFECT version that Hayley is singing.
I'm not normally a fan of this kind of music, but this is just incredible. The only thing is, while she's being introduced the gentleman talking gets a very strange look on his face when he talks about 'dark times'.
In my book Hayley is simply THE worlds BEST female voice. Please give thumbs up if you agree.
Thank you Hayley and thank god for this angel.
Long may you live
Whenever I feel Grumpy, I just listen to her voice and I'm better. Her voice is such an Endless Ocean of talent.
Very late but aaaah i see what you did there
@@russiawolf11 3 years late but I was gona say the same
I can just imagine swimming in an endless ocean while listening to this song.
No touching the fishies tho
adamddr I love that you said that because there was a game on the Wii called Endless Ocean that has songs sung by her as you explore the sea. This song introduced the game, so you aren't wrong about the feel of the song xD
Kudos to the audience for allowing the song to end before applauding. That's a pet peeve of mine.
It depends on how loud the concert is.

This song was played at my mother in laws funeral, knocked me for six, couldn't hold the tears. Absolutely lovely Haylie thank you.
Hayley Westenra is the single best female singer EVER!!!!
'time to hear once again, from our special guest', it's like he knows I can't stop listening.
There's talent, and then there is Hayley. I don't think I've ever been more captivated in my life.
Haley has a voice as if a Stradivarius violin has come to life. I have never heard something like this. She is nothing less than a phenomena.
I think this is by far my most favourite of her pieces, absolutely beautiful, but a very close second is her cover of scarborough fair she covered in celtic woman.
same here her voice is so pretty its captivating perfect voice for an underwater game.
I heard about this song from a Game Grumps episode, but I stay for the angelic voice. Her voice is madly beautiful, just like this song.
So I think I figured out the line of thought for the people who picked out the songs for Endless Ocean
"We need the music to be as calming as possible."
*they hear Hayley, jawdrops all around*
"...I think we have a winner"
I wanna go SCUBA diving now.
she has a wonderful voice most singers are covered with music but hayley has a pure voice which the world can obviously see
hauntingly beautiful voice...fantastic artistry!!! Yes exeNewter...God is beautiful!
When Hayley sings this I have an out of body experience, time stands still, I am but spirit and riding a eurphoria know only by few of us mortals.
So beautiful... Reminds me of a mermaid singing to a sailor...
She has the power to make her voice sound like a choir. It's amazing.

Sing this from the mountain tops. The world needs this.
wow. I thought this was going to be corny, but it's FANTASTIC
this is how it should be...pure and simple. she doesn't over-do it; it's beauty through gentle subtlety

I Love this song, words can't describe how beautiful it is.....makes me tear up each time.
Indeed. It got me through a really rough time last year.
all her songs are on endless ocean(wii game the game is brilliannt!) this is brilliant
She Is beautiful and the best voice.
GOD I love this song.
It speaks to me of hope in the midst of an endless winter that started with the fifth season. How beautiful!
They wrote it and Hayley perfected it.
What a lovely and talented young woman! Mom and Dad Westenra, you have raised a remarkably poised, mature, and wonderful daughter. Be proud!
Absolute beauty in every way !!!! In her song, her voice, and in the LADY herself !!!!
I got a copy of EO last year and was absolutely dumbfounded by this song. The combo of this song and the animation spoke to my soul.
so much talent, such a clear pure voice, Mariah Carey take notes
Oh. This is actually a lot more mature, better than her CD version. :) Love it.
when im grumpin...
Game Grumps sent me here.
Tell me....is there any other singer out there who can perform this song as flawlessly as Hayley is doing here! I DOUBT IT !!!!
I take it I'm the only one who came here because of Endless Ocean.
I am too. Just a little later than you.
Kaleb Contreras You are not alone :)
Hanzum Autist nope, me too
That was such a beautiful game where one could see the love that went into the game
I love Endless Ocean. I have been a Scuba Diver since I was in high school, and this is the closest any video game has come to recreating what you see under the water. Also the game introduced me to Hayley Westenra, I have one of her albums that has this song on it. I play it frequently.
It's in the Royal Albert Hall, London.
Her voice is beautiful. I found out about her last night when I listened to this song on here. It tears right through you with the power of the sun. Yet it doesn't hurt but it is gentle and warm making you feel at peace.
Good for you! Finally, someone who can recognize a beautiful singer even when he doesn't particularly care for the music! If there were more people like you on CZcams there would be a lot less bickering.
This is the only song that almost makes me tear. I never cry so that's saying a lot.
its the best song you could ever combine to endless ocean
it speaks to me of hope in the midst of a seemingly endless winter... how beautiful.
I would like to dedicate this song to the most beautiful person in this world! Jill! Love you so much!!
I heard this song playing "Endless Ocean" on the Wii. I didnt know who she was prior to finding this video. This is an amazing song and her voice is truly beautiful.
endless ocean is a great game and to have this and many other of her songs makes it that much better
This song is sooooooo beautifull.
Absolutely stunning performance. Makes me want to go out and buy the Wii game just to be able to listen again and again. 5 stars is not enough.
She also sings with Celtic Woman from time to time. So you know she is truly skilled. Gorgeous song.
I'm getting this played at my funeral whenever I die.
this song will help you through rough times and i always pick it in endless ocean

I'm glad I got to hear this song on Game Grumps, even if they laughed at it. This is some of the best singing I've heard in my life.
She... is... brilliant...
Love it.
Her sound brings warmth to the soul.
Evangeline
Great Hayley! I never saw her in live performance, she is amazing!

This was in Endless Ocean, and it fit there so well, it was scary. For Reals!
