Wind & Rain a Scottish Ballad by Paul & Kim Caudell

[Chikadeeda]

One of my favorite songs, I haven't heard this song since i was so young and happy. Tears won't stop falling

[melissaunde]

Beautiful rendition!

Hunting song and sad yet pretty

This is a very old story, often called "The Twa Sisters" or "The Two Sisters", which exists in many different versions with different melodies. I've heard a version set in England called "The Bonny Bows". According to an article on Wikipedia, there are Scandinavian versions of the story, and even one as far afield as Hungary. A haunted fiddle or harp seems to be an idea with some staying power.

Press 5 for "Oh the wind and the rain".

[MrEdyoulis]

I think this arrangement is Jody Stecher's. His version was reworked and rearranged considerably. I love how this song has become so popular with so many different interpretations

[saltwaterballads]

I think there are English and Scottish variants of this song, sometimes known as The Two Sisters or The Cruel Sister. Very nice version and I enjoyed your video, very atmospheric.

I like the one about love more than the one of jelousy but this is still good ^-^

[songofjoy1963]

What a sad song...

[wolfmother8719]

[moncrief1961]

This looks like Ft.Toulouse, out of Wetumpka Al.? Right down the road from me...

Lovely, lovely song...chill bumps...

County Clare ain't Scotland.

Sorry, I just took the info of the CD I have, my apologies that I have it wrong.

Fortunately, this ballad - or versions of it - is widespread in the Germanic world. There's versions of it as far up as Finland, and most assuredly there are versions sung in Scotland.

[kfcaudell]

That's true - there are many different versions of this ballad in many different languages, and one of the earliest print versions does come from Scotland. This particular version happens to be Irish. :-)

@jonscul I think the song's lyrics have changed as it has been passed down through the ages. I've noticed differences in the lyrics depending on performers too.

Wow! What great and unusual song? I really do love the song but feel kinda weird about loving it? Know what I mean?

[TwoEaglesKitchen]

I felt very strange making this video, bit it drew me in and it had to be done. Paul & Kim Caudell really make it come to life...

[Conuly]

@civilwarcat

Not that unusual, the story is called "The Cruel Sister" (among other names), it's quite widespread.

[Mariakirstine86]

wow i love this song! So hard to find!

I have heard it with antother singer. Gillian i think her name was.

This version is for me the true one. There are many other here at youtube. Something about two sister walking down the street.. But i am so glad i find this version.

Ever since I heard Paul & Kim sing this song at Alabama Fronier days, I knew I had to make this video. Thank you
