Wallander is also distributed in Japan. Kurt's clumsy but honest way of life is a big fan of his heart. ヴァランダーは日本でも配信されています。 クルトの不器用だけど誠実な生き方は心を動かされて大ファンです。
This song is a flawless mix of wistfulness, wounded dignity, and loneliness. Somehow the landscape and the song and "Wallander" are all a mutually perfect fit.
It's my first Russian teacher for me......memories of learning the Russian alphabet with her in a university library so so so many years ago. Moments in time that will never be again, happy moments.
Tram wires cross northern skies cut my blue heart in two my knuckles bleed down tattered street on a door that shouldn't be in front of me Twelve thousand miles, away from your smile I'm twelve thousand miles away from me Standing on the corner of Brunswick got the rain coming down and mascara on my cheek Oh whisper me words in the shape of a bay shelter my love from the wind and the rain Crow fly be my alibi and return this fable on your wing take it far away to where gypsies play beneath metal stars by the bridge Oh write me a beacon so I know the way guide my love through night and through day Only the sunset knows my blind desire for the fleeting only the moon understands the beauty of love when held by a hand like the aura of nostalgia
"you live next to people. In their lives. But what do we really... Know about each other? Any of us?" Probably one of my favorite lines and scenes I the whole series. And then they start to play the theme. Halfway through the last episode of season 1.
Watched Wallander because of Tom Hiddleston, stayed because of the great stories, characters, settings and - of course - music. This song is incredibly beautiful.
Have you seen Ragnarok? If not, please check it out. I believe it was filmed in Iceland but I'm not sure right now. I watched it a couple of years ago. It is absolutely fabulous!
What a discovery. Yet another 'thank you' to whatever genius paired this splendid singer with the emotionally-charged Wallander. What first got me hooked on that programme was my first sight of the minimalist title sequence accompanied by an incredibly soulful singer singing an incredibly soulful song. I still watch re-runs every Saturday night on British freeview.
+JJBushfan it was the composer Martin Phipps who bought me to his studio to re-record my song, Nostalgia, so it would fit lyrically with the Swedish setting (the original song is set in Melbourne, Australia) . 😊
Then applause for Mr Phipps. And I do envy you your undoubted skill in all three disciplines - lyrics, music and playing. I always wanted to write songs in this sort of genre and some of my lyrics were decent enough. Trouble was, I couldn't write music for toffee and didn't know anybody who could. I ended up writing fiction instead.
That's the first time I've ever seen the expression 'fair dos' in a RUclips comment. Yeah, let's get the Yankees scratching their heads. (And you didn't put an apostrophe before the s, which I appreciate. If you get bored and have twenty minutes to kill, you can read one of my shorts here: jjbeazley2.blogspot.co.uk/2010/12/when-waves-call.html. It has magic and music in it.
Thank goodness for Wallander, Emily Barker has a gorgeous voice. Its a very beautiful haunting song. I think music is so important in drama,it adds to the atmosphere and gives the artist a wider audience. 'Broad church' was another great drama where we discovered 'Olafur Arnalds'
Wallander also brought me here. The original is even more beautiful and about her hometown of Melbourne, Australia. Brings a tear to the eye of an expatriate Melburnian
I'm back to listening to this every night after midnight (with a drink.) That opening is beautiful purple melancholy, and I do love the 'crows fly...' verse. Ms Barker can be lyrical when she wants to be.
Its 2024. Walander is one of those series that stays with you. The Swedish version is still king but what made the bbc version so unique was your song. Even today, it resonates.. it speaks volumes. Well all your music does. I’ve been a fan of your work long before walander. Keep doing what you do :) Maybe one day you’ll win a Grammy
You have a lovely voice and this song is a masterpiece. It resonates deep within. I hope that one day, when this virus fallout is over, I can see you perform it live.
It is January 2023, when I am writing this. I just finished watching Wallander from beginning to end for the third time. This series touches me in a place deep inside of me. I believe that very few series have affected me as much as this one. ... The song epitomizes Kurt
Just recently got my hands on a copy of the BBC version of Wallander, started the second episode, and realized I was hoping the theme was part of a longer song...so I'm happy, finding it here.
Like just about everyone commenting on this Wallander brought me here too! It's good to hear all of the song instead of just a few bars at the beginning and end.
I just discovered Wallander, absolutely loved the show, and especially loved the song. Thank you so much for making it and sharing it with the world! I will be coming back to this quite often, I think. It's incredible.
@@EmilyBarker Thank you for finding the metaphor of MY life now: "tattered street" and bleeding knuckles from rapping at doors that will no longer open. Lovely!
@@EmilyBarker Your voice and styling are beautiful. Just watched the series finale. Heart-wrenching. That such a series used your work is a staggering compliment!
A wonderful song on its own but combined with some of the scenes from Wallander takes both the song and the movie(s) to the next and even higher level! A great thank for both Emily Barker and the makers of Wallander!
Pathos-filled lyrics - unforgettable, powerful, multi-layered. We have, all, stood on the streets and knocked on the doors of certain regret and pain. Amazing song! Instant fan of Ms Barker!
What creative and striking imagery! "whisper me words in the shape of a bay", "write me a beacon", "moon...aura." I've lived this experience in reverse of others. After hearing this moving song, now I'll watch Wallander. :)
@@EmilyBarker I've begun writing some lyrics inspired by your song. For now here is my only RUclips creation, written during the ego-reign of the former President. The USA is a happier place now, even with Covid. ruclips.net/video/KUYuXI4wSzk/видео.html
@@EmilyBarker Hi Emily. I was walking the Art galleries of London this weekend. Stopped for a coffee, listening to this on my headphones. It's kind of funny watching the World go by as this plays. Hard to explain what I mean. You sort of want to stop all the stress heads and say 'Hey, listen to this' haha Beautiful song, so well done.
This is a gorgeous song, beautifully paced and performed...perfect for me as I am missing my Melbourne. Thank you, Emily, for voicing my own nostalgia for me.
Really love this song, but I'm obsessed with the take featured in the Wallender theme tune, where after the lyric "door that", a second voice features and both singers sing "shouldn't be" in harmony, and then emily sings "in front of me", and the vocal on that line sounds amazing. Wish I could get to but that version!
This version is the closest to it as the piece you're referring to is just what you hear on the show - it doesn't continue beyond, if that makes sense. Best wishes and thanks for listening!
It's a strange experience watching Kenneth Branagh's Wallander and seeing a young Tom Hiddleston before he 'broke' into Hollywood. Actually, seeing so many English Actors and Actresses you've recognized from later projects in this series. First class adaptation and holds well against the Swedish films of Wallander. Haunting theme and matches perfectly to the series.
Saw you last night with my wife at the Cadogan Hall London.. Loved it... You're songs along with your voice and amazing range gave us goose bumps. You got 2 new fans Be lucky 😎🎶🎶
My dad played this song once to me when I was a little girl and I became completely obsessed. So much so in fact, that a year or so later he booked tickets for Purbeck Folk Festival - purely so we could see Emily Barker live. I can remember Emily Barker's performance vividly and I loved it so, so, so much. Because of that folk festival I'm still totally obsessed with folk music to this day (I went to Purbeck again last summer :D) And not only did Emily Barker help me discover folk but her song 'Disappear' really helped me through a rough year at school :) So, ironically this song makes me super nostalgic. All Emily Barker's music means so much to me! And I hope she gets the recognition she totally deserves (she is SO super duper talented)!!!
For anyone who hasn't seen wallender, your in for a treat , the cast , story lines and overall dark side are topped off beautifully with this music . It all fits , I have the box set and watch it over and over . Perfect ♥️
Never watched Wallander, but a kind person gave me a copy of 'Despite The Snow' last week, and I have been a bit obsessed with this song, and 'Disappear', in particular. Just so beautiful, the songs and that voice.
Yo soy mexicano y escuchamos la canción también al ver la serie en Netflix. Ahora tienes unos fans en México! (Now you have fans in Mexico too!!) Lovely song!
![Heilung | Anoana [Official Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/SVbc_Fwbt50/mqdefault.jpg)
Wallander brought most people here but shows how good the song is we all heard it and wanted to hear it again
I got this recommended on spotify not from the movie
yes.
mesmerizing.
(wallander too)
The first time I watched Wallander I was hooked on this tune.
Yes, that's true ! ❤
Many times!
Still here in 2022...one of the most beautiful songs ever written ❤️ 💕...End of xx
oh thank you very much Brian!
Me, too! Gorgeous, haunting melody,
@@EmilyBarker Absolutely brilliant song! Was the version used for the ending credits different? If yes, is there any way to listen to it/buy it?
Recently, I've watched "Wallander" for the second time- it's priceless thanks to a mix of Emily's music, landscape and Branagh
Tô me for the 20th
I WATCH INTERMEDIATE WALLANER FIRST AND SECOND SERIES TO COMPARE IDEAS SO GOOD
Simply the most perfectly matched theme to a TV series ever written.
Thank you Michael!
aaaahh, cant get it out of my head
It's matched nicely, but I don't understand what nostalgia and time passing have to do with Wallander in general or British Wallander in particular.
@@Sleepy1988 Did you ever read the books? Wallander got alzheimer in the end.
When I see those rape fields all I can think of is Sidetracked
Here in 2023, nearly 2024. Still such an amazing song and a beautiful voice. Goosebumps-Guarantee❤ Thank you for this song.
Beautiful, beautiful song, beautifully performed; perfectly matches the moody melancholia of the amazing Wallander series….
thank you so much Brian
Can't express how beautiful this song is, the lyrics and the voice, overall perfection.
Ah thank you :)
@@EmilyBarker You're most welcome :) I ended up putting some parts of your song in my video too - ruclips.net/video/hVDHRCc6irM/видео.html
Spot on . It's a beautiful song , and a faultlessly sung unforgettable theme😁
Thank you so much

Still here in 2023, Listening to this song my grandparents come to my mind and how easy life was as a teenager....old times. Great song Emily Barker
thank you Manel!
It's my first Russian teacher for me......memories of learning the Russian alphabet with her in a university library so so so many years ago. Moments in time that will never be again, happy moments.
Wallander got me hooked. This song is on my mind always now...
+KSMama80 thank you!
KSMama80 same
One of the most beautiful songs I think I've ever heard. Wallander introduced me.
+Don Little oh thank you very much
Me also
This song goes so well with Wallander!
Yes ,it's perfect
Artists like Emily deserve to be paid....support ALL artists....they are worthy.
Tram wires cross northern skies
cut my blue heart in two
my knuckles bleed down tattered street
on a door that shouldn't be in front of me
Twelve thousand miles, away from your smile
I'm twelve thousand miles away from me
Standing on the corner of Brunswick
got the rain coming down and mascara on my cheek
Oh whisper me words in the shape of a bay
shelter my love from the wind and the rain
Crow fly be my alibi
and return this fable on your wing
take it far away to where gypsies play
beneath metal stars by the bridge
Oh write me a beacon so I know the way
guide my love through night and through day
Only the sunset knows my blind desire for the fleeting
only the moon understands the beauty of love
when held by a hand like the aura of nostalgia
One of the most beautiful songs I've heard in my life. I keep coming back to it.
I’m back again 2 yrs later and I’m still loving this tune. !
Thnk you ❤️
Thank you Chris :)
Thank you Emily 🙏
"you live next to people. In their lives. But what do we really... Know about each other? Any of us?"
Probably one of my favorite lines and scenes I the whole series. And then they start to play the theme. Halfway through the last episode of season 1.
In 2024, a dear friend just sent me this. What a wonderful voice and lovely song.
Wallander brought me here...I can't get enough...amazing
Watched Wallander because of Tom Hiddleston, stayed because of the great stories, characters, settings and - of course - music. This song is incredibly beautiful.
It is a great series and I'm glad you enjoyed the theme tune too :)
A lovely song - brilliantly used for Wallander. As distinctive a sound as the TV programme itself is.
berlinmitte10117 wish it lasted longer :(
What a Great Show! I honestly gave up on American TV. So now I only watch foreign shows, Sweden and Scandinavia have many great shows.
Have you seen Ragnarok? If not, please check it out. I believe it was filmed in Iceland but I'm not sure right now. I watched it a couple of years ago. It is absolutely fabulous!

Hauntingly beautiful song.
Wallander is how I first came to hear your hauntingly beautiful voice.
This song was the reason I gave Wallander a chance. It's beautiful.
+Mark Whitney thank you Mark!
Nostalgia isn't what is used to be. Great song.
hehe!
I just can't imagine seeing Wallander without your song playing. Great music! That is why I'm here.
This song just sticks in my mind,
"Oh whisper me words in the shape of a bay
shelter my love from the wind and the rain"
Great song for a brilliant show
Thank you Shelia :)
Wallander also brought me here. The original is even more beautiful and about her hometown of Melbourne, Australia. Brings a tear to the eye of an expatriate Melburnian
Pretty song and it set the mood of the show...
Thank you!
How come i just now realize the absolute beauty of this song. And yes, Wallander brought me here. In tears now... thank you!

Beautiful, haunting melody...so restful...thank you!
+Laura Hallock my pleasure!
I was indeed brought her by the TV series Wallander. Such a beautiful song.
J'adore Wallander et cette chanson est sublime.
This song really calls deep within my soul.
I'd forgotten that Ms Barker is a fellow West Australian. From Noongar country, like me. I like to think that's why her sound sounds like home to me.
That makes me happy to know my music makes you feel home.
@@EmilyBarker ❤

@@EmilyBarker Thank you for finding the metaphor of MY life now: "tattered street" and bleeding knuckles from rapping at doors that will no longer open. Lovely!
Highly talented folksy singer/songwriter. Catch this girl live, excellent
The one I prefer. Calm and slow, such as life should be... Dreamind of another world!
exactly
I love wallender
Wow. Great song! Heard only bits and pieces in the beginning and end of Wallander. Series also was excellent. Great plots, acting and characters.
Due to the repeat of Wallander in German TV I realized the beauty of your song. Really wonderful!
Hello Dieter, thank you 😊
Such a beautiful song.
Perfect for the series, for the Swedish landscape, for the darkness of the stories. And now we know about Emily's work!
Thank you for finding me :)
@@EmilyBarker Your voice and styling are beautiful. Just watched the series finale. Heart-wrenching. That such a series used your work is a staggering compliment!
tori amos, loreena mckennitt, regina specter, enya, sia, tina dico...all of these women and their words. and now emily barker, she is hypnotic.
+CAT DECKER well it's an honour to be mentioned in that list of awesome singing songwriting women! Thank you

So many variations and each one exquisite in its own way. This may be my favorite. Beautiful poetry, music and photography.
Fantastic song and great show.
The more I listen to this, the more I want to listen again. No other song or singer has ever done this to me before
That's lovely to know. Thank you Stevie.
is a song with soul. lovely and always Wallander is present
Thank you, Emily. Now I shall listen to more of your recordings. Rock on, chicks.
I love this song! I would like to see the artist play live, if I ever get the chance in Scotland.
I'll be in Glasgow on 8th May @ Royal Concert Hall :)
Hi all.... Again, wallander..
Magical track... Just awesome
Cheers Matthew!
