This is the best version I have been able to find online, and I was originally just looking for lyrics. My mum used to sing a much slower paced version of this song, and nothing will ever top how she used her voice to fill those nights with passion.
This is a damn good version but the Dolmens version blows it away, but i suppose its not about whos versions is the best aslong as the song is good and the message is strong and clear!! /I\
this is probabl;y the only song that i really like from damh the bard...theyre a good band but i usually like strong female vocals...but in this he is very good
Thank you! I didn't really study about Damh The Bard. And by me saying I like strong female vocals, just in case you misinterpreted that; I meant I like bands that have mostly female singers. But thank you so much for going out of your way to tell me that Damh The Bard is an artist, not a band. I will definetly keep that in mind.
@Midsummerwolfmoon Not entirely true... he used to be part of a band but has since gone solo. Spiral Castles was a band based album, this one I think they feature but it is largely solo, by the next album he is a one man band.
@AngryOscillator Ah, I didn't know that. Thanks for telling me. I don't like giving out incorrect information to others, so thanks for correcting me. No sarcasm, I actually mean what I'm saying.
love it

@panicattack54321 Damh The Bard isn't a band... He's one man, tho in this case there may be others, this song has more than one instrument.

Devo essere sincero, effettivamente è molto simile a "Vanità di vanità" di Angelo Branduardi. Bellissimo canto tradizionale, comunque.
