[DarkProcrastinatioN]

Tune the guitar and then record

[clarrisina]

this is really beautiful, thank you for sharing!!

[MickeyLynott]

Doe's anyone have bass tabs for this song?

[davyb1973]

this was written by a good scottish musician Hamish Imlach although Christy moore does it justice , i've heard worse mate but try picking as comry baby says it sounds so much better it's a love ballad & should be treated like a lady gently

good effort though

a cara

davy

[cormybaby]

Im a musician and dont like to criticise..... Its very hard to hear you... Do it picking the strings with the Plectrum... Its a sad song and therefore shouldnt be strummed.. Il put my version of it up later.... Well done...

[neroangelo8]

Should read Scottish Music... ;)

[alankilbride]

[PONUC]

Pure crap - real crap! Don't listen past 30 seconds as only gets worse - sounds like a the poor young fella is in pain and what is witht he twitching of his head?

[PopelimArsch]

i agree with your comment..

[spinnoff57]

It sounds like my cat is shitting. Sorry for my english. But if you don't can play this song with real feeling shut up bastard and don't waste my time anymore asshole.. Thanke you,

[PopelimArsch]

you're right spinof that sound really like a piece of shit. listen to cara dillons version

[louiscortez]

spinnoff57 is a stupid motherfucker. His comments always suck.

[paul3point14]

Your Great :)

[thisdudesacoolguy]

errrrrr.........leave it ....lol

[amccrory1]

Fair play mate. It takes guts to have a go - a little more practice. Try slowing it down a bit and sing from the heart not the head.

[dmilne14]

theres nothin wrong with not being able to do a song justice.. i play away at christy moore songs and will never do them justice.. its what the songs are about thats important as well as having a go! instead of sittin lookin at the fuc*in wall all day

by the way i think its a grand cover

[Luftschlosserin]

I like it. You have a beautiful voice!

[demireng]

the only beutiful thing in this video is your guitar thas all...:D

[trentdoan]

...slightly off key?...

HAHAHAHA

[pfm1000]

What a way to murder a beautiful song. It's the sort of thing that should stay in the bedroom.

[amy89eire]

Ah here boy. if ye gonna slag de poor chap at least dont be so stupid. he CLEARLY is in his bedroom, don no wat kinda gaf u live in maybe u keep ye beds in ye kitchen like. AND fair play t chap like, u try do dat before ye pass judgement. songs r meant t be sung ye tick

[jimmyjuiced]

ya he was saying it should stay in the bedroom... ie not post it for every1 to see.... dya get it??no??ok?!

not slaging him. fair effort

[strangesleepnhabbits]

hello, i only know how hard it is to play this with passion, i like your version, ok can i say something please, just as a friend, dont be saying sort of, cos, you done it, black is the color alan killbrides version, every bit as good as any other version ive heard, and ive heard alot, trust me, keep on rocking,

[mixmastermurf]

no sorry mate sounds not great.

[hoyboy118]

Not too shabby. Try it a key or two higher, plus try it really slowly, then build it up slightly. You may need to slow it down a bit. It's hard to sing because of the range.

[sikie1970]

christy used to ride my aunt in kilkenny years ago.

[jimmyjuiced]

wat a claim to fame!!

[LarryBerry86]

was ur aunt a pony?

[sikie1970]

its by cara dillon!!!!!!!!! lol

Im irish and ill tell you its scottish!!

But Mr Moore, well, he breathes it!!

"2 valium, and a bottle of sherry" thats what he told me on the bus! on his way to kildare...to dry.

[sallyali8]

woudlnt be a great version to be honest, and its not a song by christy moore, its by cara dillon

[deedeebaby89]

its not a song by cara dillon either its a scottish(or irish)folk song many just cover..

[clanntara]

This song was written by Scottish singer/writer Hamish Imlach who gave it to Christy Moore in the Montrose St Folk Club, Glasgow in 1967. I would suggest that Cara Dillon was but a glint in her father's eye at that time!

[clanntara]

...the line ..."i go to the CLYDE (river!) and mourn and weep" is also a good clue as to where the subject of the song abides!

[seef0]

Thanks for the song, it looks like you're enjoying yourself. Did your guitar go out of tune when you clubbed the duck with it? Ha ha. I must confess, I spent 3 minutes to see if you would fall off the bed! HAHA! Thanks again.

[Nighthawk703]

not bad. But please tune your guitar more carefully next time. It seems to be a bit out of tune. As for the song it's more effective to play it a little bit slower, sometimes you have been realy rushing through the song. Keep on ;-)

[larrylancelot]

nice try of melismas

[mrsurfer2007]

Nice one! Thank you!

[onlineangel100]

hey enjoyed listening to this...ive just put it on youtube too!!! whats the orange object on the bed???

[alankilbride]

Thanks, but you might enjoy listening to it in the right key the next time I do it!! That's a duck by the way!

[seanacvr]

i fink u hve ruined this song...i cant find the orgnial on this >:(

[alankilbride]

I "fink" ur right! I'll get around to re-recording this any day now...

[francishughes81]

[s0ulrider]

Very nice! I like these lyrics better then the version Ive heard...seems in the States we had to change them. /sigh

and your ending :D love it too lol! Cheers!
