  • I really, really wish this was a capella.

  • Just amazing! I love Sinead!

  • Sinaed has the most beautiful voice in folk music. There is a spiritual depth and poetic sincerity in all of her work. It is the definitive antithesis of materialistic pop culture. and is alive and well within the Celtic peoples.

  • oh, sinead, you should NEVER, NEVER try to sing anything that luke kelly has sung before.it´s painstaking in a high degree. open ww.youtube.com/watch?v=g43HVlR­ga7M to understand this (you must add the third "w" because youtube doesn´t allow links) a whole universe had to come to existence so that luke has lived, and he died much too early. and then you came and thought you could do it...

  • @friederich66 I truly believe Luke Kelly has the greatest version of this great song, along with the Dransfields, another lovely version. This version by Sinead O:Connor, in my opinion compares to any of the mentioned & any that I have heard. This is her interpretation, different to all others & in my opinion absolute MAGIC.,she is not trying to be anyone else, just Sinead. Brilliant.

  • dla mnie jestes piekna te oczy nie klamia zapraszam cie 

  • some people need a loud mic n some people dont.

  • really great version of this song appears in the movie The Proposition

  • Have heard many many versions of this song ...this is my favourite ... But then I am biased ... I love sinead

  • Quite an astonishing voice. Quite an astonishing song...

  • @ijmccardle well, hear that and realize what an astonishing voice REALLY is :-) ww.youtube.com/watch?v=g43HVlR­ga7M . add the third "w" manually because youtube won´t allow liks

  • most sensitive

  • A beautiful version of a song i've heard a thousand times.really from the heart.the finest thing shes done.

  • This is like she's singing while having an asthma attack. God its dreadful. 

  • vervaceous, thanks great vj cover

    devans471, agree completely, but would add a heroine to the rest of us as well.

    They tried to burn her at the stake, but how sweet that time has proved her true.

    Took Ned Kelly's “sean-nós” version and added the same-sex emphasis as the "nua." Check out her documentary SONG OF HEARTS DESIRE the making of the album Sean-Nós Nua.

    Sinéad, thanks for making life bearable. Agape Rabdrake

  • One of my favorites.And Sinead says,"Hey!"

  • She's so beautiful!

  • Loved you when I first heard you sing, and love you now, Sinead O'Connor. You are the best.

  • I must have heard this song a million times now and I even sang it to my daughter when she was born, but this must surely be the most beautiful version I've ever heard. Well done Sinead and thank you so much...

  • I love this song ! I also love this womans voice it is breathtaking. The words to this song are some of the greatest that I have ever heard, pure poetry. I play this in my car very loud !

  • o h my god thanks vancant for sharing this...love her here

  • God, I wish she still made music like this now...

  • OH,she sure does.Keep up with the Irish one-she does not disappoint.New cd coming out soon.Don't miss anything--,she does not stand still.....

  • Well, I meant... I wish she made music like this now, instead of the stuff that was on her latest CD. I didn't like it at all, it was weak in comparison to her older stuff, unfortunately.

  • @wrongwayup: Give her time and I'm sure she'll pack a CD full up with material you love and know she's forever capable of composing; Sinéads an exordinarily versitile artist so theres always a chance of her coming out with some albums that a completely different to the last, but I like that unpredictablility. Even on her worst albums I always find a handful of songs of Sineads I love and in time I generally grow to like the rest. Love this woman.

  • Who is the guitarist?

  • I can't really see him in this video,but it could very well be Bill Handley,who did some shows with her.

  • this very nice, buut i prefer the corrs's version

  • never mind Sineads version you should listen to that twat Gavin Fridays version... what a load of shite!! hes like a wannabee Bono!!

  • Preciosa cancion, que hermoso que canta SInead!!

  • I really like this!

  • so adorable ...

  • She just touch the heart with those words and the way she sings it. You're the best vocalist!!! God bless you

  • Sinéad's version of this song is the best one I know and better than the Dubliners' version. And saying that, I'd be more a Dubliners fan than a Sinéad one.

  • it was either her or Jimmy Krankie ya haggis munching dress wearing bagpipe strangling ugly fooking breed of neandrathal och aye da noooooooooo piece of british shit

  • Fandabbydozie!!

  • It's actually an Irish song. How dare you criticize Sinéad. This version is the best I've ever heard.

  • get your facts right before you go slagging on a singer. The song's Irish, kay?

  • I always thought it was scottish. Is it not?

  • The lyrics are from a Scottish song which is also known as 'Maggie Gordon' but the original tune was replaced with an English melody, 'Banks of the Sweet Primroses'. It was made popular by The Dubliners which is why everyone thinks it's Irish. But Sinead is awesome. And so are The Dubliners...

  • how beautiful!

  • This is the best female version of this song ever definative!! Sinead is a true heroine to all of Ireland, and Irish people all over the world

  • @devans471 nice words! but I say: she is a true heroine to all of the world! hugs from Brazil ;)

  • @devans471 Sorry but hellawes does a version that is every bit as good . Different , but just as good in it's own right . Give it a view .

  • shes said she loves this song as an expression of homosexual love. God shes amazing
