Gartan Mother's Lullaby - Irish Traditional

[LadyHarrington2k]

When I read 'for my niece' it set me off!! Aww, you sweetheart! :') x

I have a beautiful niece too, i'll be sure to send this to her!

[lilirose72]

Amazing. Some very fine musicians have done this song and I think this version may still be my favourite, even above the Luke Kelly. You should be a star.

[cherrialbum]

Just relaxing

[BlindStrings]

@cherrialbum More soothing than Morrison Road ;)

[cherrialbum]

What can I say I love this stuff!! And your very good at it :)

[TheBlooferGirls]

You have a really beautiful voice xx

[BlindStrings]

@TheBlooferGirls Thanks Girls!

[boabmax]

what can u say but briliant

[Misssingingbugs]

Did you create the Guitar and Violin accompaniment or did you find it somewhere? It is beautiful. The singing is great as well. I'm a music ed major and I'm going to do this for a recital and would love to be accompanied by a guitarist instead of my pianist. Thanks!

[BlindStrings]

@Misssingingbugs Thank you! I was inspired by an instrumental version I found on a CD. I can send you it by mail if you wish.

[gregorianchantman]

Its very good, but the green fiddler is scary!

[BlindStrings]

@gregorianchantman Maybe haven't you been a good kid! ;)

[mandolinda6]

wow that's great! :)

[BlindStrings]

Thank you Linda! We'll be in Inverness for holidays next month, we can't wait to walk in Scotland.

[MilaRevan]

Amazing voice! thank you!

[BlindStrings]

Thank YOU!

[Majorkami]

I get terrible nightmares, and your rendition of this lullaby is the first thing I've found that's guaranteed to put me into a dreamless sleep.

Thank you so much for posting this!

[BlindStrings]

@Majorkami One of the kindest thing I was said on Youtube... Thank you! And sweet dreams!

[wwotw07]

Stunning! hearing you makes me wish i was even a quarter  as talented. Seeing you makes me wish i were 20 yrs younger ;)

[BlindStrings]

Lie down and listen. You'll dream of times that were 45 years ago. =)

Being able of that is even more of a talent.

[wwotw07]

Oh I have, this was one of three songs i remember my grandfather singing when i was a baby, though he said it was scottish and never did the third verse. I sang what i could recall of it to my own baby, and God willing, will sing it to my grandchildren some day. This is far and away the most beautiful version i've ever heard though, It speaks not only to the ears, but to the heart and soul beyond. loved the invert btw - brilliant idea,

[taypants2]

simply beautiful.

i have tears in my eyes

[claycmi]

Beautiful. You are so gifted. God bless you.

[BlindStrings]

Many thanks!

[BlindStrings]

Thank you!

[Prplchkn]

Wow, this is very nice. Props and half. You should check out my vid, I did sortof a choddy job considering my only mic was the one on the computer...

[BlindStrings]

Thanks.

[Adidas4me]

I love this song your definitly adds to it and completes the harmony between man and instrument :D

[BlindStrings]

Thank you and welcome!!

[KissHope]

Simply beautiful.

[BlindStrings]

Just kind. =)

[xxxSunbeamxxx]

I thought I would come by here again to soothe my jetlag and somewhat sleepless nights right now due to arriving back in the UK from my month away!!

Over 5000 views G!!!!!

Honestly - they werent all me - I may have got you up to 1000 but I dont know what happened after that...:)

[BlindStrings]

I made the 4000 other clicks! Feel free the visit anytime Jill, this video has a goal and visiting allows it to accomplish it =)

[LedSledJoe]

amazing my friend. simply amazing, how long did it take you to learn this lick on your classical?

[BlindStrings]

Thank you man... actually, it is a natural arpeggio I applied on the song's chords. This is how my finger naturally make it. I think I do the same with my version of Molly Malone - I'm not even certain. Take care!

[UberTigon]

i sang this for a voice recital and this is a great example of how it should be sung :)

[BlindStrings]

That is some nice stuff to read!

[joeygsmom]

youre a cutei!

[BlindStrings]

True! :P

[bmrti]

Sound!!!!!!!!!!!

[BlindStrings]

Pleasure =)

[14vermuth26]

Very beautiful!... I love that song and that sounds sooo good! *.*

[fuzzcee]

[BlindStrings]

Thank you =)

Cherri

[lordkantelope]

[BlindStrings]

Sure thing, except I'm not certain how I'll set it up. Give me some time and I'll send you what I can.

[BlindStrings]

Didn't forget, I'm lacking time for now but still have that in mind.

[bandbsmom]

OMY! breathtakingly beautiful and straight to my faves! holy moly! you didnt know this kansas girl has a wee bit of irish blood in her did you:) this is just mesmerizing:) hope you dont mind me sharing this beautiful gift:) hugs shelly

[BlindStrings]

Mind? Are you kidding? :P

[chanteurmoderne]

Très très beau - tu n'en a pas fait trop, juste assez. Beau timbre, belle interprétation, bon jeu de guitare - bravo, vraiment.

[BlindStrings]

Je crois que j'ai droit là à un avis d'expert éclairé dont la valeur technique met fortement en péril mon humilité déjà très menacée! Si l'émotion était au rendez-vous, alors peut-être auras-tu un peu surestimé la technique? En tout cas, j'apprécie beaucoup tes vidéos didactiques que je viens de découvrir, je vais garder tout ça bien au chaud. =)

Merci beaucoup!

[chanteurmoderne]

Je t'en prie ! Evidemment, il y a des choses techniques à revoir dans ta voix (mais il y en a chez tous les chanteurs) - cependant ce que tu as réussi à faire, et ce dont je te félicite de tout coeur, c'est faire de la belle musique - et lorsque l'âme est là, et la musicalité, c'est réussi - le chant est beaucoup plus que de simples exercices techniques et je trouve que tu as une sensibilité dans l'interprétation qu'on ne peut pas apprendre - encore bravo !

[BlindStrings]

Je viens jeter un coup d'oeil à ce commentaire et à tes vidéos de temps en temps, ça me chaud au coeur. Merci!

[alexandraxxxxxx]

so beautiful my friend ;0)

[BlindStrings]

You see as much beauty as you deserve. =)

[alexandraxxxxxx]

thx you my friend ;0)

[Mgustine]

I love this song, you were right it could put any child to sleep~ thanks for the add and the song ;)

[AutrucheTV]

Have you tested it? Tell me!

[Erphilfarry]

Wow.. This sounds so good.

Une des meilleurs ou je devrais dire ma favorite performance de ta part.. c'est vraiment super. Son, technique et feeling. Tout y est.. bravo :)

Phil

[BlindStrings]

My dear Phil, ça me fait plaisir que tu aimes cette version. J'ai été bien "servi" par la chanson originale qui est magnifique, je n'ai pas eu beaucoup de mal à me sentir impliqué dans chacune des phases.

Merci le pro!

[RealoveGSR]

Beautiful.

I confess, I first heard this song, sung by Meryl Streep, on a children's CD; quite honestly, I was having a hard time imagining anything could top Meryl Streep, but the sweet simplicity and genuine feel you created was so lovely and soothing... Well done! And thank you!

[BlindStrings]

You made my day... thank you so much for expressing your interest that way!

[robby63]

This chokes me up..so pristine..beyond comforting..I am just coming out of something traumatic and hearing something this beautiful restores so many things in me..you have no idea..thanks for sharing your musical brilliance with us...added to my faves

Robby;)

[BlindStrings]

I'd never suspect recording my music could be therapeutic to anyone... it is my pleasure to read that Robby. Thank you!

[xxxSunbeamxxx]

((Sparkle...sparkle))....A little tiptoeing fairy comes into the video...:)

I know it is not even bedtime - but this soothes me so...I think I might singlehandely take you over a 1000 views for this video in time...lol...:)

[BlindStrings]

I give you a week :P.

Thank you Sunbeam, I suspect you are giving me a clue of the book I'll receive from Automn, and I already love it!

[xxxSunbeamxxx]

Oh - enjoyment of beauty must never be rushed!! A 1000 views letting it touch my heart may take longer than a week. You will have to be patient!! Mind you - I am already viewing this again now - in the morning!!

On the book. Well, once you have it in your hands, we could arrange to meet perhaps. Then I can sign the poem for you, as Angelo will have signed the novel. No other copy has both of our signatures in it - so you could be the first!!

I hope you sleep well after your work :)

[BlindStrings]

It is so easy to you, I love the idea but I don't live down the street :P.

[xxxSunbeamxxx]

You dont live on the moon either ;)....

Mind you - even that isn't out of reach when you are a Sunbeam...lol...:)

Oh - here I am again and we are over 300 views already :) I am pretty sure we might meet for a coffee and a poem signing before this gets to 1000 views...lol...just watch for the magic...we have err....around 700 days to figure it out...lol..;)

[BlindStrings]

What do you mean by these two years?

Do you realize that if I ever get a chance to return to Ireland during the winter, you'll feel obliged to get there at the same time?

[xxxSunbeamxxx]

Now see....in under an hour, it is becoming 'easy' for you too :)

I have never been to Ireland...how nice! Let me know when you get that magical 'chance', sir and we will rendezvous. How could I not? :)

[BlindStrings]

You have never been to Ireland? Then yes, that'd be the good time to... I can't believe that, you've never been to Ireland...

[xxxSunbeamxxx]

I know!! But shush - I dont tell everyone! It is kind of embarrassing, as I have travelled so much. We can tend to miss what is on our doorstep! Err...should I confess I have only been to France ONCE?..and it was only for a day trip!!!! :) Please forgive me....lol :)

[ASAngelo]

I have tears ... you see look what your talent does! Merci Blingstrings. Parfait

I would like to audition for you some violin.

[BlindStrings]

Tears? The kid in you is close to the surface... But didn't I know it already?

I'm not sure what you mean with your last sentence, although I'm quite certain I'll accept.

[Joe0728]

very nice tune

joe

[BlindStrings]

Thank you Doc!

[patricegoyaud]

It's a very beautifull song and your voice is so expressive.

Patrice

[BlindStrings]

From you Patrice, this is a real compliment. Thank you for your interest!

[xxxSunbeamxxx]

It's Sunday night and I am back for my night-time lullaby...lol...Truly - very relaxing - I really like it being the last video I watch before I log off now if it's before bed, calms my mind :)

I think this could become one of my favourite favourites!!! And that is saying something!! Thank you for such a lovely creation...Have a great week, Sunbeam :)

[BlindStrings]

You are obviously welcome every time you wish, and are encouraged to speak your heart every time you fall asleep to the sound of Mother Gartan ;). This lullaby is an incredible song, it has something very special. I discovered the lyrics only 2 days ago, hence my sudden record.

[irishguy7218]

I'll have a look at Tocco, parrots are said to be impressive...

[ladydhw]

I don't understand the words, but the voice the melody and music are absolutely beautiful. Can you post the words to this song. Thx.

Very soothing my friend!!

Good night!!

Cherri

[BlindStrings]

Ah Cherri, I can't tell you how long that night was... (meaning there that it was a tiresome working night!). I had a look at my mails at some times. All these comments warmed me up! Thank you.

[red05hemi]

very well done! Thanks for sending me Ron!

I liked the strings as well.

peace

Scott

[BlindStrings]

Thank you Scott!

[mettanc]

very lovely, just lovely.....not sure what u and ron talked about with the mic, but it works.

i think u do this type of music vey well.

michael

[BlindStrings]

Ron advised me to buy this mic, I don't regret it. The sound is perfect.

Thank you Michael, I hoped you would like this song =)

[GOMENTE]

Very impressed. Beautiful song and voice.

To know where American music came from,Irish and British tradds are very important elements.

So I look for those CD and get them sometime.

Thank you for share.

[BlindStrings]

Only true Gomente, the influence of these cultures is essential. This lullaby is made of gold.

[phoniegirl2000]

Magnifique chanson.Merci de ce très beau partage

[BlindStrings]

Le plaisir est mien! Merci à toi.

[RevelingInReverie]

Lovely! Nice sound quality

[BlindStrings]

How are you doing? Thank you for this comment!

[Dorian8va]

Wonderful-lots o feel- thanks Ron-fave....

[BlindStrings]

Thank you Richard!

[rhopen]

This is such a beautiful song Guill, and I'm glad the Samson mic is allowing us all to hear the great quality of your performance. Bravo Guill! -Ron

[BlindStrings]

Merci Ron, as always, you have the art to be so kind. And thank you for contributing to my enjoyment concerning records! I wish I had this mic earlier.

[misspopanoche]

I just bought a new Samson CO3 Condenser Mic.. Have only recorded a few 'demos' but the sound is crystal clear..it's fantastic!

Thanks for sharing this Ron, It's beautiful.

~Sonya

[BlindStrings]

Thanks Sonya! Ron helps us save our priviledged moments. ;)

[BlindStrings]

rhopen: You have my double thanks!

[GuitarGuruTeacher]

Beaucoup d'émotion dans cette pièce! Bonne voix et beaucoup de professionalisme! Bon micro, aussi! *****

[BlindStrings]

Je crois que tu as bien résumé la scène :P Sérieusement, merci Fred, l'avis des pros est toujours doublement important pour les amateurs!

[kellydoll14]

love your voice. and a very nice song. 5 stars

love kelly

[BlindStrings]

Thank you Kelly!

[Loiez]

Ton image video serait de meilleure qualité avec un fond de studio ( style lastolite) ou simplement un drap blanc ou de couleur sur le mur ( ça détache le sujet)

[BlindStrings]

En effet, j'ai la flemme de le faire, mais il est vrai que ça ajouterai un peu de professionalisme à l'ensemble. Je m'arrange pour avoir les rideaux fermés avec de la lumière qui filtre un peu, mais ça ne marche pas toujours très bien...

Merci Loiez!

[jlbellan]

Great job, Guillaume! As usual, very beautiful singing! The violin is excellent as well! 5* Interesting microphone you're using. I had never seen one of this.

[BlindStrings]

Thank you Jaderson! The microphone was advised by Ron (rhopen), it's an USB Samson CO3U. Excellent and increase the quality of my record, undoubtedly.

[Loiez]

Beau boulot. Tu progresses à chaque fois et tu as acheté un beau micro ;-) . Un conseil : soigne tes fonds . Amitiés

[BlindStrings]

Mon cher Loiez, parles-tu de faire plus d'économies ou des éléments visuels qui m'entourent? =) J'ai d'abord compris le fond musical représenté par le violon, mais je pense me tromper.

Merci pour ces encouragements, le micro y est en effet pour beaucoup, grâce à l'excellent conseil de l'excellent Ron (rhopen)... modèle en réponse à jlbellan ci-dessus.

Amitiés... =)

[brianhourigan]

very good! 5/5 thanks for the video

[BlindStrings]

The Irish man thanking me for an Irish song... I don't need no lullaby, I'm already in a dream.

[xxxSunbeamxxx]

How thoughtful, sir...I am just off to bed and this is the perfect last video to watch before that :) I wish I had this on an MP3 and could listen to it as I drift off to my dreams :) I will just have to imagine....Just beautiful. Your voice is just so gorgeous, but you know I am a big fan already :) Night night :)

Sunbeam :)

[BlindStrings]

Have a good night Jill, let the little girl in you sleep through the song =)
