Mary Black - Sonny

[REnglerth]

A girl named Olive Kelly used to sing this to me when I was living in Cork back in '93. She could shatter windows for blocks around!!

Sad sad memories

[mcgilly1953]

I cannot believe people can write such negative things about a beautiful song

[boristhecat1000]

What a wonderful rendition of a beautiful song.

[MrPeterozzy]

is there a song u cant sing with passion

[squirell1952]

THIS LOVELY CANADIAN SONG, IF THE WORDS WERE CHANGED SLIGHTLY, COULD BE SUNG IN EVERY CHURCH WORLDWIDE. IT HAS A SPIRITUAL LIFT, DIMENSION, TO IT. JUST LIKE BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATERS, WRITTEN BY A MEMBER OF THE JEWISH PERSUASION. AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO GETS A SPIRITUAL KICK, AN UPLIFTMENT, FROM THESE TUNES? I AM NOT A RELIGIOUS FUNDAMENTALIST OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. I AM JOE SOAP FROM BLAW CLEE, SOUTHERN IRELAND.  NOTHING MORE, NOTHING LESS. JUST JOE BLOGGS.

[kenedal1]

@squirell1952 Hear hear, Real soulful music is universal It uplifts anyone with a sensitive soul . Your official religion is irrelevant

[duende667]

Respond to this video...  a classic revived by the modern age,thnx internets

[huyhuyable]

This song bring tears to my eyes . I fell in love with it since i listened to the version of Hayley but Mary sings it best.

What a beautiful tragic picture painted by an anxious sadness feeling . In just few minutes listen but you can see a long sad life of Sonny

[ParaRiott]

[10azus]

[mcginn2k9]

[veryfussy]

I saw Mary Black in Melbourne in about 1990 in a dump of a place. Mary and the band transformed the so called Palace night club into a place of wonder and beauty.

Profound voice and singing. Just wonderful.

[ulsteryounyloyalist1]

[PRINCE23062003]

D'fhéadfaí cuid guth iontach, mar sin álainn, éisteacht leis an amhrán gach lá. A leithéid de scéal ró-álainn.

[neasasexy]

[zahnyx]

My friend Linda (ldeagnon) shared this video with me and I'm really glad she did. What a beautiful song. I enjoyed every second of it!!!! Beautiful!!!! 5 stars to you. Thanks for posting this video :)

[MegaBigman71]

[jakgraphic]

[RaeRae914]

my god thats really nice...:)..

[bs5750]

@MegaBigman71 I will remember your words every time I hear this song.

I lost my mum not too long ago, nothing is quite the same after that.

[thenutsisgood]

@MegaBigman71 Would you ever fuck up. No one cares about your pox bullshit story, fuck off.

[ElizabethGS]

@MegaBigman71 That's a lovely anecdote. Ignore the ignorant here among us. There will always be trolls who don't understand or grasp human connections/emotions. Perhaps when they grow up, but I don't hold out much hope. Just know that many of us do understand.

[0clairecaulfield]

mam tried to get it to be our song when i was small but it made me cry so we had to have wake me up before you go go by wham :L:L:L i love this song!!!!!!!! xxxxxxxx

[ourearthhome]

The Irish lad whose last name came to be mine who jumped off the ship in San Francisco to go to the gold fields in California might have been that sailor who never came home. If he did not feel the heart break and loneliness then this one feels if for him now.

[macylightfoot]

i love this song. It reminds me so much of my childhood.

[michaelaanthea1]

Perfect imagery....what a sad song :( Thanks

[clarrisina]

wow!!! such a beautiful and clear voice!!

a very talented lady!!

Mary you are so awesome!

[DivaStar86]

Mary Black has an absolutely gorgeous voice. Ive never heard anything like it in my life.

[spcmfinegan1969]

I met Mary recently and she is as talented as ever. This song proves that. A beautiful song and a wonderful voice.

[jacquib299]

absolutly love dis song i sing it to my son

[bexluvscandy2009]

i dont really like this song but i always sang it when i was little so it brings back great memorys

[paulkearnsmusic]

We first heard this in a live concert by Mary in Oxford in 1992. The single best concert I have ever been to. She sings this better live on stage than on record (if that is possible).

[trevormurtgh]

love tis song remind me of grownin up makes me tink bck.

[bulbheadmyass]

Magnificent version of this great song.

[rfish54]

You sing so sweetly the Ron Hynes song from Newfoundland. Sonny is such a treasure of song in eastern Canada, and celebrated by most Canadians because of Ron Hynes, and glad to know Mary Black now sings it too. Feeling so nice hearing her awesome voice.

[moff1334]

My wife loves this song. She first heard it off an album by Mary Black and other ladies including her sister. It's called 'A Women's Heart'. It is excellent>

[louryan]

This is my mam's favorite song. Reminds me how much I love her. Mary Black is legendary.

[human247]
