I'm having your CD immediately! That's the best version of the song I've ever heard, better than Pentangle, better than Fairport, better than Sinead, better than Trees, better than Revolving Doris, in fact - dare I say it - it's even better than All About Eve. Post the full song for the benefit of others!
not bad at all, but ithink u ought to have another listen to the original, just to catch some of the proper melody, otherwise it might start to morph into some kind of solo jazz/bklues style, which really wouldnt do the song or the emotive subject matter any favor. No offence intended whatsoever, your ability is not in question.
Thank you for your thoughts - if you could suggest a simple, authentic version I could listen to, that would be great. I had never heard this song before a singing student sang it to me years ago.
Thank you to all posters for your comments, even the mean ones I deleted, ha ha! I shall confess I did that, but shan't anymore..as we can only learn. I think I need to live in Ireland for a little while some day...that would help my soul absorb some of that wonderful musicality.
hey, like i said no offence intended, its a beautiful rendition. In fact one of the better ones ive heard. Maybe im being too much of a purist here, i just meant it as constructive criticism. That said there is a version that i prefer over the rest, --Lothlorien - Greenwoodside -- however i just cant seem to find the version on youtube, tho i did download it using soulseek. Btw ur right to delete mean comments.
I agree that Lothlorien from Greenwoodside has a wonderfull version. But they admit to taking there arrangement from Lorenna Mckennitt who preforms magic with the song and is on youtube.
My ****ing word! i wish i could hear the whole version. Your voice sounds so controled you would be able to forgive anyone who thought it was an musical instrument. Its perfect. Thank you.
Thank you! Your singing seems really good from your video - all I can say is focus your whole being on nothing but the story of the song when you sing, and you will knock their socks off. I think I changed the melody a bit, so go for a real Irish person's version, as I learned the song from one of my singing students, and it morphed over time! xV
haven't seen you guys in ages. i'm sure you remember us. :) glad the music is still happening. :) xx Jaymz & Kythera (and Ophelia and Jonas)
