The movie is called The Proposition, it's sung in a very ominous scene

[2386ryanh]

[RuneMusic1000]

wow, amazing voice.

I love it, you make me cry <3

[daringal1]

[AndyKarm]

beautifull ... very :-)

[Blacksquareable]

Yu have a lovely voice beautifully done!

[fenster666]

The movie this song was in was the proposition, you do a wonderful version of this song, thank you.

[AGE364]

WOW! You can sing to me anytime =)

[Ildah]

Niki,isn't it time we had another lovely song from you?

[CroppyBoy1798]

Beautiful version, very well done!! :)

[clarebannerman]

You do this lovely Scottish ballad justice---love the line "my heart lies smothered in my breast." ~~~ Mike ♪♫ ♥

[terrygrif]

Lovely version of this great old song. 5*

Very enjoyable. Exquisite harmony. Thanks for posting.

Greetings from Ireland.

Terry.

A little known fact, this is actually a Scottish song origionally but was made famous at Irish sessions.

[SassoonOwen]

You have an amazing voice...I take it you're a Corrs fan as well?

[joeygsmom]

your welcome, keep singing you are wonderful!

:)

[joeygsmom]

hey is this you?  You sing very very well, I think this is my favorite song ever its so incredibly soulfull

[nikiarrowsmith]

yes this is me. Thank you very much for your comment!

[hogofbullets]

Interesting harmonizing. I wouldn't have thought it would work as well as it does had I not heard it with mine own ears.

Tis a Scottish song however, not Irish.

[neohip]

Well spotted.however,I think the song is not about national borders.I actual rather suspect it to be a love song!.

I think you tragically over-play the nationalism.Many ancestors of the Scots were Irish.They both were Celtic,and once shared many cultural beliefs,most now lost.I live on the other side of the world, but had a Scottish great grandfather.Even if I was from Mars I know I would still love this song!.

[nikiarrowsmith]

Oh...I'm sorry....thought it was Irish.

[EMesaros]

To nikiarrowsmith: It's a lovely version! It's true that Scots, Irish, English and American and Canadians all sing it. I sing with a group that does Celtic music(USA). Would you mind if I sort of loosely copied your harmony? It is just the sort of thing we do, and one of the guys just said that he and I shoul try this. Tenor/sopr. So of course the octaves will make some difference.

[EMesaros]

To hogofbullets: (What kind of name is THAT?!) I have heard a similar version done by two men with very hard metalic voices and a very insistent, more rapid beat. At first I hated it, but it grew on me, and now I quite like it! It has a certain wierd comic value, you know?!

[tony10396861]

@hogofbullets I have it on good (scottish) authority that there's no evidence of this song being scottish. The history of very old songs such as this one are always so jumbled and confusing that it's often impossible to label them with a nationality. Let's call it a celtic song :)

[nointro]

Awesome

[MartynFolkSinger]

I love this song and your voice is so perfect for it.

[nikiarrowsmith]

Thank you very much

[tykittaa]

Do you have an mp3 of this available anywhere?

[nikiarrowsmith]

Yes I do.....I can send it to you, but what would you like to use it for?

[tykittaa]

Personal enjoyment. Who should I credit it to though?

I'll send my email address to you in a private message.

[SassoonOwen]

You sing like an angel.

[mulliee]

you could shame a nightingale

[XLedZeppZoSoX]

beautiful. it brought a tear to my eye.

[Falloutmoon]

wow I am in love with you...I think...

[nikiarrowsmith]

oooo how bout that....lol

[kapellr]

Well done to the vocalists. This song is so beautiful when sung with reverence. In 2005 this song was featured in a film called The Proposition. The actor Tom Budge sang it beautifully. The combination of the song and the scene showed simultaneously the beauty and filth of humanity.

[Hotrodtallman]

i agree. Tom Budge's version was brilliant. I haven't heard it sang better.

[Ildah]

Beautiful,like She moved through the fair. Niki,you should sing the Irish ballad "Butchers Boy"

[nikiarrowsmith]

I'll look it up

[wendellhoff]

Soft, delicate, beautiful. Your harmony is elegant. Please produce more Video(?). "Will you go lassie go, to pluck wild mountain thyme all around the blooming heather"

[Stuie2006]

Dont get me wrong you have a nice voice. But this is one of those songs that shouldn't be messed with. For all those who know a Scottish version and have iTunes or whatever download 'The Corries - Peggy Gordon'. Listen to it before you Judge my comment.

[R5365420]

GREAT voice, good rendition, the movie this song was in recently was The Proposition, i liked the actors version in that more, he has more pain in his voice, yours is just too pretty for some parts but very beautiful, also some lyrics are differant

[R5365420]

nevermind, they just cut parts out in the movie

[Hotrodtallman]

i agree the proposition and tom budge's version was so much better.

[devans471]

This is a lovely song and sung so wonderfully really beautiful

[molemode99]

Dear lord...

You are incredibly talented.

You have GOT TO GET A CONTRACT OR SOMETHING!!!!

Get the freakin' Chieftains to record w/you.

I swear I ripped your version of She Moves through the fair.. and I FORCE EVERYONE to listen

[nikiarrowsmith]

thank you thank you....do you know the chieftains? hook me up :)

[beto244752]

Te felicito tienes una hermosa voz, good luck =)

[iess]

Lovely..I heard it first by the Dubliners and I believe it originated from scotland

[waterlily1988]

I like this version better than sinead o'connors and the one from the corrs.I think it sounds clearer in a way..I don't know how to say it,but I think the others sang it in an exaggerated way.

[nikiarrowsmith]

thanks waterlilly. I try to sing these trad songs very simply.

[waterlily1988]

absolutely beautiful!!

only I noticed,isn't a verse missing?

'I wish I was away in ingo..'?

never mind,it's really beautiful!

[hearditman]

Oops, didnt realize my comment would reach the singer. I was merely communicating to other youtubers that may want to check out sinead's version. Your version is great too. Help!

[nikiarrowsmith]

hahaha its fine!! thats a GOOD thing that you're sharing music with other youtubers....isn't that what music is about?

peace

[hearditman]

good, but have you heard sinead o'connors version?

[nikiarrowsmith]

yeah I have actually. I'm not a professional like she is!

[spudseamus]

like larks in the clear ,cool air

[Grimson84]

Sweet and pretty. The reason I really like this and the Proposition version by Tom Budge is that they are produced relatively simple compared to other versions I've heard.

[restive123]

You shame the nightengale, lass

[nikiarrowsmith]

2 best comments I've ever received. thank you, as always it is appreciated.

[josiahscurlock]

The Proposition! Never would have discovered this song without it. Wonderous.

[TinWhistler]

Awesome!

[nikiarrowsmith]

thanks! (a compliment from you means a lot)

[restive123]

You guys needs to collaborate someone...TinWhistler and Company produce the basic tracks, nikiarrowsmith the vocals. Do it right and you guys would rip this joint.
