Im a teenage girl and all of my friends are listenting to hadcore rock or auto tuned pop music. I dont listen to them, they dont know real music. This is so beautiful, a truly amazing mucisian who i realy look up to with my music <3 Go cara!
@irontoyvn / what a load of crap!!!! this singer is one of the best and YOU disagree with her appearance!!!! nothing at all wrong with her/ how is YOUR appearance???? not so good i would imagine going by your channel!!!!!!!
This is ferociously beautiful. Even upon the first note, Cara awoke so much within me. Thank you for sharing this piece. Beautiful beautiful beautiful!
I've always loved the "old music" and it's wonderful to hear it sung so beautifully. Some just have it in their souls to tell the old stories and awaken dreams & memories. Cara is one of them.
why do we compare one to another ? It is a weakness of the listener .... not the singer.
Voice is beautiful - and did she not sing the version of Ireland used by Billy Connelly for his 'World Tour of Ireland' series ....... the voice is key perfect and haunting in quality ...... listen and criticise only if you personally can do better
Can't think of much music that uses a woman's sweetest voice, her higher register, other than Irish and bluegrass. Of course opera, but the singers have so much technique and volume, the higher register is no longer sweet. Seems men have one voice. A bass or tenor that may include a falsetto. Women have two. Higher and lower registers. Lower has more power. But it's not sweet and femine. Some combine the two very well. Natalie Cole comes to mind.
This is great. Thanks for sharing. You must have had a great seat for the show.
A folk festival in the Shetlands...that is something that I will have to do at some point in my life. It sounds like a great time with nothing to bother a man but some good music, good company, and maybe a few drinks here and there.
@donegalsteve: The Shetland folk festival is excellent. Always great bands, concerts in small communities all over the islands, meet and greet up close in the festival club afterward and more music there till wee hours of the morning. I am going for the 8th time this year!
I am going to create a bucket list and add the Shetlands Folk Festival to it (though hopefuly I'll make it sooner rather than later). Good luck with it this year!
thanks for doing a version that actually takes its time with the phrasing. Your vocal quality reminds me of a young Kylie Minogue or Olivia Newton John. Very soft and tender. It's great stuff. Hope to see an album soon.
Cara has 4 albums to her credit! This lovely song is on her latest, Hill of Thieves, which was just released in the US last month. It is an amazing album...I got my copy last November, when it was only available at her shows, and have listened to it almost every day since then...and I'm not sick of it yet!
efinitely gonna go to see her soon. I have been known to sing this song of a night out. Lovely song. Fair play Cara. Come play in Limerick will you...
Yes, so true and she's also a first-class person, too. I saw her perform out here in California in September and December. Being in the audience and hearing her sing in person is something that is very hard to describe. She's an amazing singer.
oh my god, I cant take all the shivers Im getting from her voice. The hairs on my arm are all standing up.

Someone I love said that she said she'd like this song sung at her funeral if she "deserved it". Your rendition would serve.
