Lord, this song epitomizes sorrow and beauty together. Makes you think about your ancestors in a different light, hopeful but heartbroken to have to leave their home...
@mcoli2720 try to banter but i go on too lonl then they end up tubing what i write, your up there with my beloved mr brady, you both are what it takes to wash away all that off beat stompin an girnin flamenco. a hug and a wiggin to our boy if he needs it,..
For more that 10 years I have an Deanta CD that I found in France. I can't count how many times I've listended to it but again and again Mary touches me deeply with her wonderful voice and her incomparable way of performing this song. So I'm very happy to find this a- capella-version of the song.
Oh, Joy!!! I didn't know Mary was performing. I hope there will be more. I've been pining for her beautiful voice. Cara is wonderful, but ... Mary has the voice of an angel. Thank you!!!
Can someone please upload Mary's version of Sam's John Condon. I believe if picked up by someone like Wogan it will be a massive world wide hit. A shy but wonderful star you are Mary.
Thank you for uploading this fine video of a lovely singer, who seems to specialise in singing even sadder songs than her sister Cara, who I absolutely adore. Cara's new album "Hill of Thieves" is quite wonderful and is due for general release on 26th January. The prodigious musical talents of the Dillon & Lakeman Families are quite breathtaking. I have a cold & have just supped an Oirish Hot Whiskey, so thanks to the Emerald Isle for its wonderful singers & fine beverages that are so soothing.
I also say More More from Mary Dillon

So, so sad that Deanta only recorded three albums. Mary's voice is heavenly.
