This was my husband’s favourite song. Sadly, he lost his battle to cancer. He would’ve loved this powerful rendition. As I listen it has brought me to tears. Thank you.
he is listening and God bless you
@@chuifaiwu7668 thank you
😢😢😢 take care.
I am deeply for your loss. Trust he is resting in peace and well.
@@Ann-qf5vk thank you
I thank God that it was from this generation that we had the opportunity to hear these songs, which are true masterpieces! Thank you God!👏👏👏5
Beautiful! Love the strength the woman singer has along with to the lower voice of the man….exceptional rendition of a song that never loses its relevance.
Sorry,but I gotta say these two, especially the young woman would blow any so called professional artist out of the water.Well done you two.That was amazing...🇬🇧🇺🇦🇬🇧🇺🇦
😂😂
They are professionals who are so well versed, they play a wide variety of music.
I would say.. ...I would say Politely and Respectfully - -- it *WOULD* be Nice if the Lady Received (a bit) more solo time... . :/
That and.. ... While Definitely These Two are Talented... .. I can't help but feel (somewhat) Disturbed about such an assertion.. ...
I totally agree. Amazing.
No to sorry. I agree so much with you.
I am 83 and an ex marine and police scenes of crime officer and not a big softy. This song has always been my favourite.This beautiful rendition is so moving it moved me to tears. Absolutely magnificent! Walter.
Walter thank you Sir for your service. It was also my husband’s favourite song. Sadly he has lost his battle to cancer. He would’ve loved this powerful rendition. I am also bought to tease
❤

True!
I lost a friend who was in the royal marine band killed by IRA in deel this is for him x
that low note, blimey. whoever put those two voices together absolute genius. beautiful rendition.
All I can add to that is just wow...wow, This was a truly remarkable rendition of the song by two very talented voices and 1 remarkable, talented band. I am in two words, blown away.
@@devonsteve2347 nah, nice but..their not active serving troops though are they. Best bugles and drum bands in the world too..fact. Watch them, especially the drum corps.
@@foreverlv311 that’s why I said ‘not to take anything away from RMBS’. We know that they are serving members of the Royals & disturbed are not. It wasn’t meant as a criticism, just an if you like one version, you’ll probably enjoy the other version.
@@devonsteve2347 Hi Devon
I've listened to both Disturbed and the marines version of the song so many times now.i love them both for different reason but the backing of the Musicians in both cases is brilliant
0.50 - 1.35 are literally two voices melting into one. Extraordinary.
From one US Marine to all of you Royal Marines, OUTSTANDING! Semper Fidelis.
As a 60's teenager, and the wrong side of 70, I am listening to this with tears in my eyes.
I’m not far behind you x
As someone who only saw 11 months of the last century, and the right side of 20, I am too.
mid 40's hear and tears are pouring.
Snap!
Amen, guys and gals. Surely brings a tear to your eyes. Simply amazing
Dang.. in 2023 this is soo important! He who has eyes to see and ears to hear!JESUS❤
If war would be fought with music only, the HM Royal Marines would win every fight. Its amazing. Stay healthy guys and ladies!
O I could not agree with you more.
I agree
Dokładnie!!!?
Absolutely sublime , I could listen to this young lady all day. She is superb singing brothers in arm too . The guitarist is second to none in that too. Not forgetting this young man. Makes me very proud to be British.
I’m speechless. This is one of the most beautiful rendition of this song. Thank you for your sacrifices and service. God bless.
While I liked this version, I preferred both the Pentatonix and Disturbed versions far more.
@@_starfiend I prefer Simon and Garfunkel. That being said, I love disturbs rendition as well.
@@joshschneider9766 Just because you support the military doesn't mean you support war
@@joshschneider9766 Guess who's the most anti war amongst men. It's the military men and women who put their lifes for all of you socalled anty war selfclaimers but demend other to take sacrifice for them the moment you fell threatend by adversary.

LCpl McIndoe and Musc Gissing, individually brilliant, together with the backing of the RMBS truly amazing.
Are you kidding me???? This is such a master class in music! Music played with military precision and vocal performances on the highest level, what more can you ask for? So impressed and moved, thank you very much!
Amen!
Hmmmm...
😂😂😂
From this old USMC vet, our brothers and sisters in the Royal Marine band does Britain and military personnel around the world proud. This is a great song and your rendition is magical. Went straight to the top of my favorite covers of the song. Keep up the great work. Thank you all for your service and sacrifices. Semper Fi and God bless. God, Country, and Corps

@@jawosammadennhier7062Greetings from the US. Hope all is going well in Germany. In this chaotic world we live in today, prayers for us all around the globe. 🇺🇲🙏
@@williamhbonnie5514 Thank you so much for your kind comment.
What does "UM" mean?
@@jawosammadennhier7062 I'm not sure what you're asking when you mention the "UM". If it's the HM, that would be Her Majesty's. If it's the USMC, that would be United States Marine Corps. Have a good day and take care.
Thank you for being brave for our country. Hi, from Texas.
Proud to be english and proud of our talented Royal Marines ..outstanding
The arrangement is genius and their performance is exquisite. Those voices and their ranges; gifted!
Das ist Perfektion, jedes Instrument im Hintergrund ist Perfektion, das gesamte Lied ist einfach nur Perfektion, besser wie das Original, es wird niemals eine bessere Version geben. DANKE 😍
Pure Perfektion
I was in the US Army Band 1975-77. I had to listen to this thrice to try to be clinical without emotional influence. But each time my emotions grew more intense. The lyrics and voices of the low baritone and Alto singers in harmony were so powerful and nostalgic for me. It just blew my mind.
Thank you.
You did nailed it, chapeau
2 years in a band.good drills mate,spent more time in firefights in the Stan.hope your musical skills are better than your fighting skills.
Thanks to you. You belonged to USA Navy Band and realised all that means the most powerful thing in the world : the music.
Thanks too for your sacrifice. I ' m sending to you all my respect and honor.
Count on me when you wish.
God bless you!
Best wishes from Spain.
I don't know how you could listen to this and not be emotional. BdLCpl Sam McIndoe has the voice of an angel and Musn George Gessing has a command of the low end of the register that makes the foundations of the Earth tremble. These two sang an arrangement of I Vow to Thee My Country a few years ago that brings a tear to my eye whenever I hear it.
Well said, Sir. X Pathfinder here
Magnificent! Shallow people will never associate such music with Marines. That's their loss. Best wishes from this old US Marine.
Semper Fi sir🇬🇧🇺🇲
Semper Fi Brother. These Royal Marines are fantastic!
@MrAbletospeak I think you took this out of context??
Semper Fi. Greatings from Germany
Amazing performance!
I was there when they played this, I could hear around me people was weeping and sniffing. Could feel the emotions run through the hall
Must've been one hell of an experience to be this a majestic seen just like this.
You're lucky
That must have been an AMAZING experience.
Wish I was there …. 😊
These are the results when talent and creativity all come together.
Band of Brothers takes me back when I was a small boy, and having to attend my Uncle Homeros funeral, he died in Vietnam.
From a former U S Marine, Semper Fi Royal Marines that was awesome
Semper Fi Brother. These Royal Marines are fantastic!
thank you sir for your services altho i never served but was in a military school theres no such thing as a former marine or for military you my friend as all who did are and will serve are all still very much active and are all brothers and sisters again with much respect thank you for your services
I thought there was no such thing as a FORMER marine. 👍
@@therealcooperman there is no such thing as an EX Marine.
Holy shit man , our soldiers can sing. This was absolutely breathtaking.
Tears of pride.
*Marines
@@Peoples_Republic_of_Devonshire correct , sorry.😁
Singing and shooting, vital military skills. Just watch Zulu
@@davidscoltock3970 That was the 24th Regiment of Foot ; the marines were nowhere near!!@!!
Thing is , who did throw that bloody spear!
Words by ....................
My God, these people are PHENOMENAL. Every song they perform gets to the very depths of my Soul!! I can't thank them Enough for this.

The way they switch harmonies. This is gorgeous.
I can only say that I envy someone who has the musical ability to distinguish this! I just listen again & again in my ignorant bliss!
@@victoriarobbins2410 the switching is seamless. If you haven't been listening to this song for close on 60 years and sung it to yourself often, this version may just seem awesome but standard.
Just enjoy, it is magnificent
Semper Fidelis ❤️
Breathtaking 😲
Wife of Former Honorably Discharged U. S. Marine Corps Master Sergeant. RIP Frank Schemmell💝
Thanks goes to all HM Forces in protecting our country....much much respect
Sublime, just out-stands the original version.

I’m a Portuguese Navy Warrant Officer and I salute you fellow servicemen.
Hey I remember these two from the "I Vow To Thee My Country" video a few years back. Sounds great 😊
From across the pond, people separated by a common language.... God Bless you all, nailed it!
Cheers mate 🍻
and a bloody great ocean thank Christ lol I got that the pub landlord
And this is why we in the UK have the best soldiers in the world. 👏👏👏👏
I was going to say your service members are on par with the best troops in the world 🇺🇸, but it was your forces who held the line for freedom and democracy in “The Darkest Hour” of WWII. For that, Cheers to the World’s Finest 🇬🇧!!! What a beautiful and moving performance. World’s Finest, in deed!
They're Marines
So, because we have musicians that can sing, that makes us the best soldiers in the world does it?
@@Bootneck-RMC It never fails. Try and have a friendly chat about something really lovely and positive, and somebody just has to try and piss on it. Thanks, buddy!
@@Bootneck-RMC yes! Why?
I think it's brilliant.
My great grandfather was a famous band leader In the army...and some how this reminds me of him..
It's so dedicated, in this presentation. RIP great grandad...although never really know..
Greetings from Your old Brothers and Sisters in arms from Poland..
It’s a shame this version isn’t on iTunes it’s brilliant
Yes, I would buy it if it were on iTunes
Extraordinary harmonies. Her voice absolutely soars! Brought out the tissues.
Tell me about it. turn off the lights, crank the sound and close your eyes... let the music do its part.
Yes that is the gorgeous Sam McIndoe - voice of an angel.
My late dad was a drummer and bugler in the Royal Marine band back in the 1950s and 60s. I wonder what he would have thought of their military version of this song (he was a Simon and Garfunkel fan). Personally I absolutely love it.
may dear British freaders, Thank you so much for amazing song!🙋♂️❤💒🙏🙏🙏🍇🥂🍾👋 NO WAR!🎈which love from Georgia/Tbilisi.
Simply beautiful God save the Queen.
What’s the Queen got to do with it ?
This is why young children need to get in involved in music. Once you have it you never loose it. BEAUTIFUL MUSIC
AMAZING 🥲 I had goosebumps all through the performance. He has an amazing voice then when she came in it totally transformed the sound
One of the best versions of this song I have ever heard how can so many dislike
maybe putinists...
Wow. As a huge fan of the Disturbed version of this song, I love the way they took their version, added little bits of the original, and then built on it. Nobody can match David Dreiman’s incredible vocal, but this manages to bring the goosebumps too.
Right???? This comes pretty close
This is closer to the origenal. The original is a warning, Disturbed's version is anger that the warning was not heeded.
Exactly.
I absolutely love Disturbed version!!!
This song has been covered so many times by so, so many bands and singers. I can honestly say I have never heard it done better.
Try 'Disturbed'....
@@leathleyg5995 too forced and overly dramatic
@@leathleyg5995 I have not as good
@@leathleyg5995 too rough
@@leathleyg5995 listened to Disturbed version, which is brilliant, but still prefer this
Absolutely love this version. Sam and George have amazing voices. Looking forward to this years festival.
Beautiful❤, the best version 💯
Dire Straits brothers in arms now this these folks are amazing.
And all while they are standing still. Absolutely awesome
Watching as two soldiers perform this rendition, one with medals of her service, is inspiring.
Better than you 😭
Yes, her 15 year Long Service & Good Conduct and Afghanistan Operational Service Medal for their "other duties".
They're bandsmen
@@d283jdsk2 who fulfil other duties in war zones including medic / stretcher bearers
@@d283jdsk2 They very much are operational personnel, who specialize in medical/communication/Logistics/CBRN Decon roles and do deploy in those roles routinely, the singer here for example Band Lance Corporal Sam Mclndoe (now Band Corporal) is a veteran of Afghanistan (left medal is the Operational Service Medal for Afghanistan), the director has the General Service Medal (Likely for Northern Ireland) and the Iraq Medal, the RMBS have deployed on all major military operations and conflicts since the Great War, WW1, WW2, Korean War, Suez Crisis, Falklands, Iraq (Both Times) all major NATO actions Britain has been involved in and Afghanistan are just the ones of the top of my head I can think off, in WW2 a quarter of the whole RMBS had been Killed-in-Action by the end of the war the largest percentage of any branch of any service in the His Majesty’s Armed Forces.
I have listened to the band rehearsals for many years, they have maintained their mastery, absolutely fabulous
WHAT A PERFORMANCE! JUST EXCELENT. GREETINGS FROM A EX GERMAN MARINE... SEMPER FI !
One word. "Beautiful". Everything. Voices, music, arrangement, instruments....
Einfach nur gutes Lied,beide machen das mit ihrer Stimme zum Erlebnis!
May 2024, and heard this version for the first time. I have played this video 3 times already. This rendition is simply genius. The harmonies are totally out of this world. I don’t enough words to describe how brilliant this version is. The best of the best. It is haunting me.
Beautiful voice Sam Mc Indoe 👏🇬🇧🇧🇪
One of my favorite songs, and a great arrangement. They way they both transition from melody to harmony and back is fantastic. Not often you hear a female singer singing a lower part than an male singer. The did an amazing job on this!
I absolutely love this song. I have an entire playlist that consists of different versions of this song. Simply stunning performance by the bands of HM Royal Marines. I salute you.
Beutifull, excelent. From San Pedro Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Wow. I'm amazed the military let them them sing this song at all. A song that is about the fight with depression. Absolutely brilliant performance. Thankyou
You can see it as a fight against whatever forces are out their to harm you... depression, some can see injustice, ignorance, or some other evil.
Gave me goosebumps and palpitations...so far the best rendition of this song❤❤❤
Royal Marines are some of the baddest warriors on the planet.
This was breathtakingly beautiful beyond words. It’s nice to see the Human side of any military.
Signed - an ally from across the pond and former US Army Paratrooper
The band are separate from the RMC.
And Magic like Great-Britain !
Correct
when other groups cover your cover you know you owned it.
I wish they would name the musicians. His voice is just magic
Wow! Wow! Wow! What a performance from everyone. The harmonics in the voice of the female singer were a joy to behold, likewise the male singer. Truly, well done.
Absolutely gorgeous rendition of this lovely piece of music and what a brilliant vocal performance, you guys should be very proud of what you do for King and Country❤
I listened to this over 100 times and I am still listening to it now it's insanely good amazing unbelievable. I am speechless. The first time in over 2 years that I got emotional. Thanks
It’s the best version that exists… I’ve hunted n looked forever for a version that beats this…. None
Hauntingly beautiful. Thank you Royal Marines, every one of you.
The singing is stunning but the fact they can belt this out and not move around is insane. Serious skill and discipline
Can't stop listening to this version. Sam and George have amazing voices. Still get goosebumps now. Can feel the emotion of this version.
Unbelievable
Stunning
we fight better than we sing ,no one sings better than that ,so proud of you ,beautiful
Out standing, 5 times ive listen to that tunes,. She is one of the best singer I've ever heard of,. You need to send her to the United States. Our country needs her,. And the guy down a good job 2.
Thank you for that beautiful music.
The best version I've heard including Simon and Garfunkle. Made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up!!
Try Pentatonic
Disturbed and also Pebbles the clown… trust me. Each one awesome and poignant like this.
@@samcoffee4389 Pentatonix
It is a great pleasure to listen to you! Thank you!.Greetings from Argentina.
Holy God this is amazing. I believe they understand this song. Or The director does. Amazing! Thank you Guys my deepest respect to you all!
100% Agree. These two are out of this World !! AMAZING
Thank you for your service and sacrifices our dearly beloved brothers & sisters from across the pond. As hermajesty said grief is the price we pay for love. 🇺🇸 ❤️ 🇬🇧 !!
Where I criticized the female singer in the rendition of Led Zeppelins Stairway To Heaven for having song in an anonimous way, in this song she shows she has the voice. Fantastic performance!!!
Although not myself a special fan of Led Zepplin 'Stairway to Heaven' was a beautiful song. However, I always interpreted it as a record of somebody observing another in the throes of a drug ( heroin) induced death.
As it happens, when I was younger, I knew my neighbour who was about 80 (WW11 vet of North Africa and Italy) who was pre scripted morphine for pain in the year or so before he died. I used to buy him expensive bottles of Sotch when I went to see my mother every year.
I doubt he every drank any.
Bravo!! That was absolutely amazing. So many layers of music filling the hall. Envious of those who are in attendance enjoying this magnificent performance.
Dios que Bonito. Espectacular como van cambiando los cantantes de voces y en todo momento consiguiendo las harmonias perfectamente afinadas
Simply mind blowing ! What a superb pairing of voices. Dedicated to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II RIP
My goodness what incredible voices. I’m blown away with the talent of all.
Absolutely brilliant! Great voices and in every sense and all respects better than the origin 👋👋👋👋 Now I'm a devoted fan and follower of The Bands of HM Royal Marines and the Battenberg Musikfestival
The gutair crying in the background is enough to give you chills on chills with the vocals
Bravo. Bravo. Bravo. This is the best rendition of the song that I have heard. Truly amazing. I thought Disturbed had put out the best cover, until I heard this. Bravo Royals.
I want to thank you for your service and voices. I was navy but God damn are your voices beautiful! Please keep it up
The male vocalist is baritone George Gissing. There's a good few CZcams videos of him performing. You'll find an excellent short video he did about the Deal bandstand bombing which killed many of his army musician colleagues.
3:08 TO THE NEON GOD THEY MAAAADEEE OMG SO AMAZING 😭😭😭
Such a beautiful song and the duo singing it complement.each other are simply brilliant singer's with a lot of passion put into it from Belfast northern ireland
I can’t get enough of this version, George voice is stunning.
Military attitude and perfection. Thank you very much. It it great. 26 year in active duty.
I love my British Royal Marines. Semper Fi.
incredibly beautifully sung and performed, both voices really suit this song,
Taking the Disturbed version and chilling it further. Nice job Royals
This the type of cover version of a song that I love. A new interpretation of a classic song. It almost has a healing quality.
Superb and beyond.
At long last, I like this somg. Just wow.❤
As an ex soldier who served over 17 years, amongst the many things I experienced was the high standard of the military bands. Absolute professionals all 👏
Ex-RAF and loved it!
Same here, ex RAF and i to loved it.
