It's funny how some people "enjoy" good music, being xenophobes and nationalists at the same time... You can read here all kinds of idiotic "history lessons" and retarded comments about patriotic and pride feelings. Your comments are just so so stupid!! It's nothing about the spirit in this amazing ballad. Is it just me or this melody it's not a national anthem and it doesn't speak about all those moronic things that is written in comments?....
These words are set to two distinct melodies, one of which is traditional and the other was written by the Kentucky folk singer and composer John Jacob Niles. Niles recalled that his father thought the traditional melody was "downright terrible", so he wrote "a new tune, ending it in a nice modal manner." The above is the traditional melody; the Niles is sung best by the Hi-Lo's, and was sung by Fred Waring and many high school choirs, without Niles being given credit.
@thepiedjester The "N" word is always inappropriate!!! ALWAYS. Sometimes we have to look at ourselves and worry how WE are living, and strive to fix whats broken. It is easier not to judge others. Trust me, life goes a little better.
1st off, the history: The "Scots" & the "Picts", were 2 distinct Peoples & had separate Kingdoms for centuries living in west & east of ancient Caledonia! In 843AD, they were joined together under Kenneth MacAlpin who was a Scot/Gael with a Pictish mother, and thru' his mother's lineage he became King of Alba!
But "these vile fucking niggers"?? Not much I need to add to that really...
Great another Yank eejit, lecturing on history you know SFA about! You obviously know so little, there's no point even beginning to educate you your yank arse!
Can people stop commenting about where Celtic music comes from and just enjoy it? A perfect example of both is Celtic Thunder...I'm from England, and they only tour America, so technically, only America can enjoy the 4 Irish lads and a Scottish guy. :) But, seriously, they're all amazing.
A BEAUTIFUL CELTIC GAELIC ANGEL AMOUNG US WITH A LILTING ACCENT AND A STAGE PRESENCE WITH EMOTION AS A PRINCESS INDEED . BTW I LIKE HER SINGING AND HAVE LISTENED TO ALL OF HER SONGS ON YOU TUBE I CAN FIND TODAY ,
Don't even worry about it Dark. It happens with so many pieces. It's really all the Scots fault. They write such lovely music, everyone wants to claim it..LOL
No matter, it is a lovely piece, and thank you for sharing it with others. Period. You have great taste.
Yes, I know I'm an idiot for getting the origin wrong. You all cam stop now. When I played this song for another school's graduation, it said Appalachian Folk Song. That's where I was misinformed, so blame my band teacher for not knowing it was Scottish.
To fosterb247~ it is unheard of to change the words of a song, especially a folk or traditional piece. As a singer, I can promise you that it loses much more if she did change the words. It is sadly not positive the the song is Irish in origin, but probably originated in Scotland. If it were as ColdCan has stated and the piece was written about Ireland, then the words would mean as much to a female singer as a male. So, only the most uninformed of singer would change any words of a song.
Christy Moore stated that he learned the song from Hamish Imlach. But that line: "I went down to the Clyde, to mourn and weep" is pretty definitive, that the song is Scots originally. I don't know of another river Clyde anywhere, and we certainly don't have 1 here in Ireland.
I think we've sort of adopted it as Irish, the way Americans have adopted "Amazing Grace", which I think is another Scots tune originally!
@DonegalRaymie201 I admit that i never put such thoughts into this piece of music, but if youre right, it might be awesome. Nevertheless, i think its the sound that speaks for it self.
Her hair is black; the North is depressingly troubled. She has a sweet face and a gentle touch; Irish scenery is beautiful and while we complain about the weather, it's rarely unduly harsh. She wishes the day would come when 'she and I could be as one', when Ireland could be one and the ridiculous religious bullshit could just die out and people would stop with the hatred. Ireland for the Irish with our British brothers and sisters included.
Cara has a nice take on a great song - But she is a girl type & this is a love song for a bloke who loves his lass... with black hair etc. If Cara had substitited the word 'she' with the word 'he' - I would have enjoyed it more.... Christy Moore does it better!
just want to say that she has one of the most astonishingly beautiful voices i've ever had the pleasure of hearing!!!! I 've loved every version of this great Scotish song i've heard, but this is by far my favorite!!!!
Do you have a River Clyde in the Appalachian Mountains then?
Like all your folk music, it came from here in the first place, and was taken with our emigrant brothers & sisters! Isn't the Appalachians where the Scots/ Scots-Irish, (Ulster-Scots to us), settled?
@DonegalRaymie201 Thank you for educating DarkArtsPrincess15 on the history of this song and it's inception and formation into American folk/country music.
I don't mean to be down on American folk music by any means, I like loads of it, but it didn't just grow out of the ether! Those who emigrated to the US in the 17th or 18th century, carried with them centuries worth of music and European cultural history.
They didn't just forget it all the moment they stepped ashore in America, or suddenly stop being Scots, Irish, or Germans etc, nor did they stop singing/playing the music of their homelands either. I would think...
Well in answer to someone below's question, 'how could someone not appreciate this beautiful performance,' I must say that having just listened to Christy Moore's stripped down version, this one comes off as overly grandoise and too Disney to appreciate. This song is about love haha, how can you say that there is anything personal in her performance? I mean, musically she does a great job, but the soul of the song has been ripped out in this painless, shallow rendition.
The mark of a true singer - singing with a full orchestra with no problem, by the way I agree with Blingwood4 how could someone not appreciate this beautiful performance !!!!!!
Can anyone tell me how to get this video. It's not on Amazon or anywhere else for that matter, nor even on Cara's web site. My wife is a big fan, and her birthday is coming up soon. She would love this DVD/video.
Cara has a beautiful voice but I'm not so sure about the big orchestral treatment. This is a very passionate though simple song of Scottish origin. I think Hamish Imlach's version gets close to the spirit of the song.
There is a discussion about the origins of this song on Mudcat.org (If you're interested in discussing the origins.) Wikipedia suggests it was brought to the U.S. from Scotland, because of the reference to "Clyde".
cara says fleetwood mac have been a big inlfuence on her music . you can hear this at section 3:35 - 3:57 that reminds me of songs on the fleetwood mac albums like rumours. tusk.mirage.tango in the night etc
i'm sick to my back teeth explaining this. this is not a poetic romantic iriish ballad. it is a scottish song that has been hijacked by irish americans. i was born in glasgow of irish parents. i'm more than proud to be irish. i also know where the river clyde is.
@TheSaboteurx you're right, it wasn't.and and yet the irish managed to create sublime pieces from that suffering. I think that is exactly what defines human greatness.

@jmppd Tastes are subjective. Christy Moores version is beautiful. Also Gaelic Storm has a wonderful version. But no one sings it better than Cara Dillon!!
@TheOceanlab no i get where ur coming from i just like christy's verson better i dnt no maybe cause shes a woman singing about woman makes it ...i dunno but with christy its like hes telling u his story of what happened...if dat makes sense!?!
@jmppd As i said tastes are subjective. You like that and i like this more . so what? Somebody i know likes Nina Simone's version...So what? God loves diversity !

This song is ..... I wreally don`t have words for it. I stayed a few minutes just to think of the words but can`t find them. Just amazing. More that words. Thank you for the song Cara, that`s all I have to say.... Thank you for the song.
when you hear other versions of this song from judy collins/christy moore /emile latimer/etc they fall into the shade .compared to this beautiful version by cara . she has the voice of an angel . and this live performance with the orchestra is outstanding from start to finish .
Saw you tonight Cara in Armagh at the St. Patrick's open air festival. You're as fabulous as ever - wished you could have sung for longer, but great concert, great night. Thanks for making it the best concert ever -some other fabulous artists there too but we came to see you:))))
Christy more heard the song being sung by a scottish folk singer - he says so himself on a live version. It's a scottish love song - the words say about going down to the Clyde.
Yes. Christy did acknowledge that. He said he learned it from the "guy who went on before me at the Glasgow Folk Club on Montrose St, & I've been singing it ever since..."
Turned out that "guy" was Hamish Imlach, (Cod Liver Oil & the orange juice!). I can see how the two of them must of gotten on! What a hell-raisin' pair!
Pięknie! No i ładna jest :)

when you hear other versions of this song from judy collins/christy moore /emile latimer/etc they fall into the shade .compared to this beautiful version by cara . she has the voice of an angel . and this live performance with the orchestra is outstanding from start to finish .

Saw you tonight Cara in Armagh at the St. Patrick's open air festival. You're as fabulous as ever - wished you could have sung for longer, but great concert, great night. Thanks for making it the best concert ever -some other fabulous artists there too but we came to see you:))))

It's pretty standard in Celtic music for a woman to sing a song written from a man's P.O.V., without changing the lyrics ;)

@mothglitter That happens in Mexican music too...

i think she's just singing from a man's point of view. she also sings love songs about men.
hmm. either way, breaking out of the box!
and amazing, beautiful songs!

Ciara Considine does a beautiful and intimate version of this song; perhaps the best version on Youtube.

Christy more heard the song being sung by a scottish folk singer - he says so himself on a live version. It's a scottish love song - the words say about going down to the Clyde.

Yes. Christy did acknowledge that. He said he learned it from the "guy who went on before me at the Glasgow Folk Club on Montrose St, & I've been singing it ever since..."
Turned out that "guy" was Hamish Imlach, (Cod Liver Oil & the orange juice!). I can see how the two of them must of gotten on! What a hell-raisin' pair!
