The Stolen Child -- Original Composition by Angeluomo

[katspalace]

love your version!

@katspalace Thanks. I appreciate your comment!

originally it's from loreena mckennit, isn't it?

[angeluomo]

No, this is my version. Listen to both (hers and mine): they are quite different. My version comfortably pre-dates Loreena's version, as I wrote mine back in 1980 (thirty years ago). Also, my version includes the third stanza from Yeats's poem, which she does not. Hope you liked it! Loreena sings much better than I do; and I can't play the harp.

@angeluomo the image is not innishfree but of Glencar co Leitrim. Yeats country approx 200 miles from Kerry.a big distance in a small land !

[angeluomo]

@adyseven1 Hi -- Thanks for the correction. I should have known that, since I have actually been to the Lake Isle of Innisfree before. The photo I heisted somehow indicated that it was Innisfree. Anyway, if it is Glencar, then it still fits the song, since that is also part of the poem. Hope you liked the song.

...I think this might be my favorite musical arrangement of this poem I've heard yet.

[angeluomo]

Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

@angeluomo great skill to put this to music in the way you have. the waterboys version is very different but complete magic i think

[angeluomo]

@stuross74 Thanks for your comments. I will have to listen to the waterboys version. I don't know it.
