Beautifully sung! Thumbs up ~Anna

[Israelistops]

Such a haunting beauty to this song. I am so glad to know of your posts clmarais. :)

[clmarais]

@Israelistops Thank-you for watching! :)

[clmarais]

@esquina2000 Estoy feliz de que le gusta escuchar! :)

[gchadder3]

Beautifully sung, as always. I also noticed "my dead love came in" was changed, though. Without that line, it's not really very clear from the lyrics that she died and this is a ghost story being sung. There are some ominous chords, though, in the arrangement, that hint at it.

[clmarais]

@gchadder3 Thanks George! Yes, I love the chords in this arrangement. What I'm playing here is an adapted version of the Julian Smith/John Bell arrangement of the song, simplifying the piano part (leaving out the tune) because Shirley would be playing that on the Irish flute for our collaboration. Keep well, and thanks for taking the time to comment! :)

[dutchbonnet]

A beautiful performance. Lovely voice, and just enough on the piano. I notice you've done the expurgated version, left out the line 'My dead love came in'. best not to scare the children.

[clmarais]

@dutchbonnet Thanks for the lovely comment! :) Haha, yes... It wasn't really an intentional choice. The versions I've listened to have always sung the words this way in the last verse. Strange! ...but you're right, nice not to scare the children ;)

[gureturisusami]

[TheFlameTop]

christy-lyn,

this would be something that might of came to me in years past when i worked during the mid-night hours until morning time came , when i was tired , especially if it was snowing during winter months . i'm certain i've thought about this song during those times . thank you for allowing me to re-connect with aspects of yesteryear and a much younger self , i reflect upon it fondly , thank you !!!

[abdiyaniman]

Wow, it's amazing, magnificent arrangement and a top worthwhile voice indeed. God bless you, dear, to advance your masterhood on! Cheers! :)

[clmarais]

@abdiyaniman Thank-you so much! Glad you enjoyed it :) I actually can't claim the arrangement, because I just adapted the Julian Smith/ John Bell version... I'll put that in the description now. Thanks for the support! xx

[zmov1]

Forgot to say... your voice so lovely and the control is awesome. Nice work. :)

[zmov1]

Ah, could not play this yesterday as it said "Private". Glad it is available today. Very nice. Beautiful. I love your work on this. :)

[tannewton]

I am looking forward to seeing the collaboration. Your part on this song was very good (or should I say "haunting" - this song is about a ghost, isn't it?).

[chansherly212]

just uploaded, but so many comments! if my flute even necessary? haha, i'll be careful not to ruin it :)

[kootenaylad]

Thank you dear. That was absolutely beautiful!

All the great Celtic folksingers have had a go at this classic piece. I must say, your rendition holds its own in that great company.

[clmarais]

@LoveMattersMost Wow, thank-you!!

[TheFlameTop]

christy-lyn,

should ever there be things that would weigh heavy upon the heart , i believe offerings of your's such as this would sooth away the ills even but for alittle while!

thank's for sharing !!!

[PleaseDieQuietly]

It finally hit me. You are the spitting image of a younger Sigourney Weaver. I couldn't place it before, but there it is!

That, by the way, is a massive compliment! Sigourney is one of the most beautiful women I have ever laid eyes on, and you have the voice to match.

[yolajosefiyo]

@PleaseDieQuietly oh my god! you're right!

[clmarais]

@PleaseDieQuietly Hahaha, I've never heard that one before! Thanks for the compliment :) I did a google images search, and I guess I can see what you're talking about... but it's funny :D

[SqueakyFloors]

Beautiful! The song is melancholic in its beauty. You do it proud. :)

[trudbol]

Thank you CL for yet another delightful piece with your enchanting voice. There's something sober and intimate about your videos that gets me each time. Beautiful.

[clmarais]

@trudbol Thanks Julien! ...Danny Boy here we come! No pressure ;)
