  • The folk song "I Am a Poor Wayfaring Stranger" was performed by Jos Slovick in the film 1917, directed by Sam Mendes. The a cappella version of the song was recorded by Jos and filmed at Abbey Road Studios in London.

    "I Am a Poor Wayfaring Stranger" arrives in the wake of Thomas Newman’s critically acclaimed score for 1917. Towards the end of the film, actor Jos Slovick appears as a British soldier singing the song to his fellow troops prior to battle. Of the release, Slovick says, “1917 is an incredible film to be part of. It felt like a special moment when we filmed that scene, and I’m so pleased it’s resonating with people. Recording the song at Abbey Road Studios was a dream come true.”
    ABOUT THE FILM
    Set at the height of the First World War, 1917 centers on two young British soldiers, Schofield (George MacKay) and Blake (Dean-Charles Chapman), who are given a seemingly impossible mission. In a race against time, they must cross enemy territory and deliver a message that will stop a deadly attack on hundreds of soldiers - Blake’s own brother among them.

    I am a poor wayfaring stranger
    I'm travelling through this world of woe
    Yet there's no sickness, toil nor danger
    In that bright land to which I go
    I'm going there to see my father
    I'm going there, no more to roam
    I'm only going over Jordan
    I'm only going over home
    I know dark clouds will gather round me
    I know my way is rough and steep
    But golden fields lie just before me
    Where God's redeemed shall ever sleep
    I'm going home to see my mother
    And all my loved ones who've gone on
    I'm only going over Jordan
    I'm only going over home
    Repeat verse one and chorus

      @@dmargaret2729 From Wikipedia: "The Wayfaring Stranger" (also known as "Poor Wayfaring Stranger" or "I Am a Poor Wayfaring Stranger"), Roud 3339, is a well-known American folk and gospel song likely originating in the early 19th century about a plaintive soul on the journey through life. As with most folk songs, many variations of the lyrics exist.

      @@dmargaret2729 - the odd placement of this haunting song in the movie, at that stage of the movie, was brilliant. No, it did not fit in historically or culturally. But that was the genius of it. It was the perfect foil, and balm, for the all the traumatic sequences that preceded it. It was an amazing moment in the film, and this rendition by Jos Slovick is superb.

    I took my Father to see 1917 when it came out. He loved it as a student of history and movie lover. I cried like a baby during this song because I knew about his Cancer.....
    We took him to see the New Top Gun, which he loved, and was the last movie he saw in theater, hut this movie and this scene/song stuck with me.
    Lost Dad 11/13/22 after fighting cancer for 8 years. I truly hope my Dad, Brian Dolan, is seeing his Father and Mother (and 8 siblings) again.
    And I hope to see him again.........

I was only there to paint the river and the film makers let me stay because it was obvious I wasn't there to interfere, so I got to watch as I painted. I had no idea it was a movie, I thought it was a war documentary or something, because they wouldn't give me any details. Only when I watched the movie in cinema did I recognise the shot that I saw filmed! It was right before this song, and it made the whole thing a lot more special.

'Well, I'm back,' he said." How many soldiers wish to come back home, how many yearn for the life they had before. I'm tempted to say those were the words Tolkien thought when he finally came back to his home again.

      @@spacewolf182 If you dig into it the French performed extremely well in the Battle of France, their air force, despite fighting with inferior planes and completely outnumbered, shot down something like 1000 aircraft? Between 800 and 1000 though I can't remember the exact number. They prepared for the war wrong but fought insanely hard nontheless and I believe if just a few things had gone differently they could've held. One of the biggest things was the decision to stop producing the MS406 and instead switch to producing the D.520. Switching production lines takes time, lots of time, and they wasted months retooling where they could've built hundreds of fighters. It was a bad decision that imo doomed them. But yeah the french dont get enough credit for their actions. They fought crazy hard

It's a song that speaks to my soul and makes me think of those who went before me.

    I remember this scene in the theatre, it was the moment when the entire emotional weight of events was suddenly injected into the audience.

    My great grandfather fought in World War 1. He was a scout and would be sent ahead of the rest to sleep sure the way was clear. He was shot and inhaled mustard gas but still survived though the war. He rode a donkey across Europe to see his brother in Germany. When the war ended, he retired in Rhode Island. I never met him, but I hear he was kind and funny. I cried when I watched this movie, as did my dad. We must never forget what they did and went through. Time will pass and they will fall into irrelevance, but we must tell there stories still. From generation to generation, even when the history books skip over what happend, we must never forget.

      I'm sorry to break your dreams but 1917 was turn in more then one scene, the réalisatror just make the cut invisible.
      It's still a very good movie

      Fun fact: 1917 is actually TWO scenes. There is a very visible cut in the movie, when he passes out in daylight and then wakes up again when it's already night.

    1917 was hands down, one of the best movies I have ever watched.

      It's Mendes' best movie since American Beauty. What a haunting, moving piece of art.
