Those opening notes are so in touch with the essence of 3 Billboards and its themes of grief, depression and redemption. It's so rare that a director can match a song with their film so perfectly.

“Good luck to you Jason. Your a decent man, and yeah, you’ve had a run of bad luck, but things are gonna change for you. I can feel it”

This movie had it all...Acting, Story Line, Soundtrack....It was a perfect movie...One of Hollywood's few.

January 2, 2001 this version by Renee was playing on my car radio as I drove home minutes after hearing my mother had just passed away. I cried like a baby and each time I hear it brings a tear to my eye.

3 билборда - великолепный глубокомысленный фильм Не ожидала такого от Голливуда, обычно примитив для потребителя А здесь такая сюжетная линия! О боли, которую тспытывают разные люди, о любви и прощении, о смысле жизни Актёры подобраны идеально Музыка прекрасна! Благодарность за этот фильм!

Tis the last rose of summer, Left blooming alone; All her lovely companions Are faded and gone; No flower of her kindred, No rosebud is nigh, To reflect back her blushes, Or give sigh for sigh. I'll not leave thee, thou lone one! To pine on the stem; Since the lovely are sleeping, Go, sleep thou with them. Thus kindly I scatter, Thy leaves o'er the bed, Where thy mates of the garden Lie scentless and dead. So soon may I follow, When friendships decay, And from Love's shining circle The gems drop away. When true hearts lie withered, And fond ones are flown, Oh! who would inhabit This bleak world alone?

I was nailed to my chair when I saw the openings scene in a film festival in our local cinema, when hearing this song!

One of the most beautiful songs in the world. I played it on violin when I was 13 and still sing this in public several times. Thomas Moore had such a tragic life--his wife and children pre-deceased him. In his old age, he could not perform due to failing health.

Absolutely beautiful. The opening to one of the best Movies produced for years. Head and shoulders above all the tripe coming out of Hollywood of late.

I’ve watched the movie three times and see something new each time. Great movie!

The irish are so proud of this song and renee preforms it beautifully and does it so much justice :)

sometimes the music contained in the poetry is powerful enough to bring us to our knees. Fleming is perfect.

an immortal song. Renee Fleming sings with such tenderness

This movie is so good. And the music is even better.

3 billboards brought me here... This voice.. Keeps me here.. One word only.. Beautiful x

One of my all time favourite Irish songs sung enchantingly by the supremely talented Rene Fleming.

Three Billboards Outside of Ebbing, Missouri..what a voice.what a voice.what a voice. Heaven

In this sometimes cruel world, I think we should thank god/the universe that the McDonagh brothers were born.

Here because of Three Billboards Outside of Ebbing, Missouri

This is wonderful it eclipses all other versions I have heard.

Renee never ceases to amaze me. I am in awe. Sublime in every sense of the word.

Must be amongst the best renditions.

One of the most simple yet elegant songs ever composed. Along with Danny Boy and The Irish Blessing what more is needed? Beautiful rendition Renee!

Juste sublime ... j'adore cette voix magique, qui me transporte... Et quel film! Fabuleux avec des acteurs brillantissimes. Inoubliable 🙏🙏🙏

omg soooooo beautiful. Thank you God for Renee Fleming's incredible sound. She made me start listening to opera :-)

Sometimes I watch a movie for the story, sometimes for the music, sometimes for the acting. I watched 3 Billboards for it all.

The best version of this beautiful song by a mile and also all three verses.

This was one of my late fathers favorite song. The lyric of this song is so hauntingly beautiful and sad. Now it has become one of my very favorite song of all time. To me this song symbolizes the sadness of losing loved ones forever to time.

'Tis the last rose of summer left blooming alone All her lovely companions are faded and gone No flower of her kindred, no rosebud is nigh To reflect back her blushes and give sigh for sigh I'll not leave thee, thou lone one, to pine on the stem Since the lovely are sleeping, go sleep thou with them Thus kindly I scatter thy leaves o'er the bed Where thy mates of the garden lie scentless and dead So soon may I follow when friendships decay And from love's shining circle the gems drop away When true hearts lie withered and fond ones are flown Oh who would inhabit this bleak world alone? This bleak world alone

Memories of great movie and best music.

Beautiful song ,sung by a outstanding soprano

Listening and crying 💜 Love from France 💚

Great voice! I like this tempo, slow but so magic...Hi from Italy.

ไพเราะมากค่ะทั้งบทประพันธุ์ที่คลาสสิกลึกซึ้ง และการร้องที่ไม่ใช่ใครก็จะร้องได้ดีมากอย่างนี้ Thank you for sharing❤

I FULLY SYMPATHZISE WITH YOU- MY MOTHER PASSED AWAY WHEN I WAS ABOUT SEVEN: I WAS THEN RAISED BY MY FATHER'S SISTER- A SCOTS LADY-WHO WAS VERY KIND AND LOVING. SHE HAD NO CHILDREN OF HER OWN AND THUS I BECAME HER ONLY SON. I ALSO LOVE THIS SONG AS SUNG BY JOHN MCDERMOTT- A SCOTS-IRISH BORN CANADIAN SINGER

Because through love comes calm. And through clam comes thought. And you need thought to detect stuff sometimes, Jason.

The song was also used in the classic film Gaslight, where it is said to be the signature song of the Ingrid Bergman character's dead aunt, an opera/concert star. It comes back several times: a passing organ grinder, the sinister husband's piano playing, variations in the orchestral score, etc.

Absolutely stunning what a fantastic song

Such a moving piece of music. And the way it's used in 3 Billboards... Gosh I had tears in my eyes. It reminds me of that scene in Shawshank Redemption when Andy Dufresne put a piece of The Marriage of Figaro in the prison : it had the exact same effect on me.

RF's intensity drives this song from light opera into a new level, a moving reflection on beauty and death. Check out her superb rendering of Strauss' Fourth last Song 'Im Abentrot' for another superb performance.

3 Billboards should have won best picture. What a great performance by Kathleen McDormett and Sam Rockwell who walked home with Emmy's.

Goosebumps.

I'm here from 3 billboard a ebbing Missouri... I say, i don't have faith but i admit just now i heard an angel

Also used wonderfully in "Capitalism: A Love Story" (Roosevelt Mourning and an exceptionally great narration by Michael Moore). Can't help, always crying.

Magnifique ! 😢😢

She also did a wonderful job on this beautiful song.

지극히 절제된 감정 표현. 최고입니다.

ah, brava! I'm used to renditions by Celtic woman, ms Fleming's goes toe to toe with that!

I drew many similarities between Three Billboards and Manchester By The Sea. Like the songs that play at the beginning, both opera and beautiful

A transforming piece! 👏

Beautiful. ✨️

One of the best things I ever heard

just lovely!

боже, почему я услышала это только сейчас!

Here because of a story on podcast (Phoebe reads a mystery). What a treat, both the podcast and this song. Thank you.

3 billboards

The Last Rose of Summer Celtic Woman 'Tis the last rose of summer left blooming alone All her lovely companions are faded and gone No flower of her kindred, no rosebud is nigh To reflect back her blushes and give sigh for sigh I'll not leave thee, thou lone one, to pine on the stem Since the lovely are sleeping, go sleep thou with them Thus kindly I scatter thy leaves o'er the bed Where thy mates of the garden lie scentless and dead So soon may I follow when friendships decay And from love's shining circle the gems drop away When true hearts lie withered and fond ones are flown Oh who would inhabit this bleak world alone? This bleak world alone

Mir wird wind und weh, traumhaft!

She has a beautiful voice.

Just sprayed the greenfly on my 'first roses of summer', this music is truly inspirational.

Lyrics of The Last Rose of Summer (1805 by Irish poet Thomas Moore) ‘Tis the last rose of summer, left blooming alone All her lovely companions are faded and gone No flower of her kindred, no rose bud is nigh To reflect back her blushes and give sigh for sigh I'll not leave thee, thou lone one to pine on the stem Since the lovely are sleeping, go sleep thou with them Thus kindly I scatter thy leaves o'er the bed Where thy mates of the garden lie scentless and dead. So soon may I follow, when friendships decay And from love's shining circle the gems drop away When true hearts lie wither'd and fond ones are flown Oh! Who would inhabit this bleak world alone!

Beautifully divine ❤

beautiful with beautiful song

RECORDANDO UNA BELLEZA

amazing!!!💙

This gives me chills. I always associate this song with Oshin, the song Shunsaku plays on his harmonica and teaches to Oshin 😢 one of the most unforgettable and tender moments

1 of my favorite songs

¡Maravilla de canción!

The tune and lyrics originally Irish but best known to opera lovers through its incorporation into the Italian language opera "Martha" by von Flotow who was German but wrote operas in Italian.An equally beautiful aria in that opera is "M'appari" - "As in a dream" a favorite of tenors like Gigli and many others.The "Last rose of summer" melody is taken up by the chorus and constitutes a kind of musical motif throughout the opera.

This is from the poem written by Thomas Moore (1779-1852). 'TIS THE LAST ROSE OF SUMMER 'TIS the last rose of summer, Left blooming alone ; All her lovely companions Are faded and gone ; No flower of her kindred, No rose-bud is nigh, To reflect back her blushes, Or give sigh for sigh. I'll not leave thee, thou lone one ! To pine on the stem ; Since the lovely are sleeping, Go sleep thou with them. Thus kindly I scatter Thy leaves o'er the bed, Where thy mates of the garden Lie scentless and dead. So soon may I follow, When friendships decay, And from Love's shining circle The gems drop away. When true hearts lie wither'd, And fond ones are flown, Oh ! who would inhabit This bleak world alone ?

Simply wonderful ,congratulations ,Sofia.

Just beautiful..

Az egyik kedvencemmel kívánok nagyon szép álmokat és vasárnapot Így is szeretem a rózsát

@protoville Deanna's version is indeed the most ethereal and sparkling one I've ever heard. As for the pathos, Ponselle's is unmatched (her 1937 radio broadcast version is on YT).

so good in 3 billboards

Bellísima canción

Preciosa canción

Juste sublime ...❤💋💌

I have to see the opera Martha by Flotow someday. Renee has Incredible control and power, and yes, the tempo is slow, but the voice is very beautiful and evenly held through every long and slow phrase, yes, it does bring a tear to the eye to hear something as beautiful as this, so masterfully done. The famous tenor aria in Martha is beautiful too

wonderful

brilliant music

Wonderful

Perfeita

Está película me provoco una sensación única que hace mucho tiempo una película me daba

@PonselleLover--Thank you for your comment. Rosa Poselle was one of the greatest. She lived not too far from here. I can't remember the name of her estate. It was "Villa" something or other. My wife was a private-duty nurse and met her and saw her estate.

It speaks to me

The painting at 4:07 is gorgeous just like the song

Dreams!

I've been given this song as my first nine weeks grade to sing :O

Thank you for your comment. I agree about the difference in presentation. If you saw the version where Deanna sings seated in a chair, it's a scene from a movie. The older man in the scene is her father. He has surprised his daughter by asking her to sing for him. When she finishes he's going to tell her her voice is "no good," that he's taking her out of music school. His reason: to keep her away from a young man who attends that school. That's why he looks so miserable. He loves her voice.

REGARDS, ACFLEMING, JUL 9 2013 GOD BLESS ALL.

Manifique!

Muy bella

"Thus, I kindly Scatter."

Oh, yes, I think that Rosa Ponselle might even be the best. But then, again, I think that the melodrama presented by Renee Fleming is incredible and the most poignant by far. She almost has a catch in her voice !

Fabuleux

Three Billboards was beautiful, haunting, and hear-breaking. bar stools and bus stops.

This really reminded me of some of the music from scent of a woman at the start

I have to disagree with those who feel that Deeana Durbin's version is better. To me, there is no comparison. Listen to the powerful emotions in this version by Ms. Fleming. A great singer can only do this. Such control!!!

I agree on both counts with you. Of course, she is giving it the operatic treatment, not the simple singing of many Irish vocalists.
