Peter, I'm a 3rd grade teacher who one day taught poetry. One of the poems was this old folk song called Shenandoah. Just out of curiosity, I googled KZread and came across your video, which I showed the class after we read the poem. To my utter surprise, THEY LOVED IT and were completely touched by all the song's emotion! They request to hear the song all the time. It's really cute to hear inner-city kids from the Bronx sing about this great American river. Bravo and thanks!

Sheila Sanchez I absolutely love the fact that your little 3rd graders loved this song so much that they actually request to hear it frequently! That is so awesome and definitely adorable! I’m in college to be a mental health therapist and Im going to special in music therapy, so I love hearing neat stories like this, because I wouldn’t have expected third graders to enjoy this song that much! Very cool! Glad I saw your comment 🙂

My pap used to love this song, and he used to take me carp fishing in the Allegheny. He couldn't sing, but his life's philosophy was that if you can't do something that just means you have to be extra enthusiastic. I have fond memories of him making a mess of this and several other songs as we hauled back buckets of carp and bluegill and maybe the lucky smallmouth. Thanks for helping me remember something great today.

The beautiful voice of Peter Hollens singing this special song is too lovely for words to describe.

I was playing this song at 6 this morning. My cat got quietly on the bed, curled his legs under him and closed his eyes. I think he was mesmerized bya beautiful song and your wonderful voice! Thank you, Peter! I hope you and your family are well.

Mr. Hollens, I don't expect you to see this comment but I had to write that my 8-year-old daughter is just now learning guitar and practicing Shenandoah. She's a very chill kid, but I played her your version of this song just now so that she could hear it in full and she burst into tears because she was overwhelmed by the beauty of your singing, I'm not exaggerating. It took long minutes for her to calm down again - May we all be moved so by art

It’s my best favorite song. I learned this song in my high school age. now I’m sixty years old. but still this song has been in my heart. this make me evergreen.

Shenandoah is my native valley. The daughter in the second verse can refer to the Native American legend of how the river and the valley came to be...Shenandoah was "the daughter of the stars." (The song was also sung by soldiers leaving the area during the Civil War, and can refer to their wives and sweethearts left behind.) Peter's rendition is one of the finest ever!

What an absolutely gorgeous voice!!

Oh this song, i remember it at school - we had so much fun with the song. For some reason, 400 of us just sung as loud as we could for the ONE word every time, so: "oh shenandoah, I long to hear you, *AAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY* you rolling riveeeeeeerrr!"

So about three years ago, during my freshman year of high school, my band director had the concert band play an arrangement of Shenandoah. And I am so glad he did because 1) it's beautiful song, and 2) it led me here. I was looking up a recording of the concert piece so i could listen to it, but instead I found a video of a guy named Peter Hollens singing this song. So I decided to spend four minutes of my time to watch this video. And I am so glad I did. I proceeded to watch all the other videos he had posted. ☺ Now three years later, I still love your music and your videos. It brings me joy to hear you and your wife and all the other great vocalists and instrumentalists you collaborate with to create your videos. So what I want to say is thank you. ☺
