as an Irish person I find some of the racism comments disguting. to the people who say go home. go fuck yaself. u ignorant shit. and learn what cead mile faltie means.
hello I'm chinese... i lived in ireland for the last four years... i agree with the polish.. i now have a beautiful irish girlfriend and my irish years were the best years of my life... i never felt more welcome in a country and they made me feel like I'm a fellow irish man. is gra limo eire go deo!!!
for danny.im irish and your a dickhead ,i bet ya never even left ireland,maybe ya did once to go get arse banged in thailand by ladyboys,grow up its 2011 no point in been a racist
I'm an Irish singer, I'm sixteen.. She is STILL one of my inspirations. She is beautiful and her voice is amazing. Like for support of the Irish music industry !!
Nah @dannywodniak your still Polish..Any1 can get a Irish passport it will still say Natinality polish and by the way a true irish person will never refer to themselves as a paddy..its a insult!! Go back to Poland!!
My youngest girl is called Katie by me and me only and she's across the world and this song makes me cry when i think of her. Lovely song reminds of her so much xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Ah! Mary, I'd listen to your music anywhere. I have three of your CD's one each in the car, office and the kitchen... Just lovely to listen to when I'm on my own, gives me time to myself and the time to think. One of our best female ballad/ folk singers in Ireland..
just love this song....always brings a tear to my eye.....amazing voice....no matter what mary black sings she always puts her all in2 it. If you haven't gone 2 see her in concert it's a must see....lovely woman and extremely witty and charming.
Fond memories of this song:grew up listening to Mary Black as my Dad loved her music.He got me and my sisters to learn this song and sing it at family functions.Love Mary Black's music still and i'm 20 now,have her Greatest Hits on my ipod.
Well well... Iam Polish living in Ireland for the past 6 years and since I listen to a music like this I'm proud to say I'm a Paddy now. Ireland became my new home land and believe it or not I love it more than any other country in the world.
@dannywodniak good news guys... I'm getting Irish citizenship and passport soon after 7 years living here. Finally I will say I'm Irish born in Poland. Very happy.. hope its a good start of a new life...
@dannywodniak GUys don't leave the country ... al of you boys and girls well educated now looking for a life abroad... This coountry's bad times are over and it has to be only better now. Please do not repeat the 80's. Ireland is going to need you more than ever soon... Trust me.
If ever I was given a choice of having a £60,000,000 win on the National Lottery, and being given a Singing Voice like Mary Black's, I would never hesitate to opt for the latter. lol. However, on second thought, it would be better to take the £60 Million, and spend it in IRELAND on promoting all the GREAT SINGERS OF TODAY, AND THE YET UNBORN GREAT SINGERS OF TOMORROW. Now, that would be a more realistic ambition to achieve. lol
I'm Katie, and have been away from home for 15 years. It's nice to know how much friends still remember me back home enough to send me a lovely song like this. Thanks Walter!
@KtCalvFlt - And the smile upon your face, the tears upon your cheek, and the night sky on the window your heart calling out to me. Come running home again Katie, come running home again. You're welcome, Katie - Walter
I wish ... that you still cry when you're 20, 30, 40 .... keep feeling ,,, keep changing the world as you wish. Life, the world, is made for the voices such as Mary Black. :) Katie. :)
an amazing song an amazing voice brings me to tears a friend of mine katie died when we were kids it reminds me of her :( miss her so much rip sweet heart xX
My Uncle Wrote this from ireland He is called jimmy maccarthy n this song is obout my mum katie he also wrote No frontiers and most of the songs mary black sing s so... !!!! its all about my mummy :) xxxxx
man I'm so sorry I was really wasted when I wrote that comment. I do actually love this song, my mother used to listen to it a lot when I was a young kid.
most memorable song i kno!!! i LOVE it sooooooooooooooooooooo much reminds me of mi uncle that died i mss him and i sing it to rember him!!!! xxxx laura in tipperary ÈIRE!!!! XXX
i love this song...i also love francis black...i got to sing with francis before...she was so nice it was one of the best things that have ever happened to me...love her...
what a song and what a singer, the Black Family the Greatest musicial family ever... jimmy mc Carthy a Legend of a song writer 2, makes u proud to be Irish
i agree but dont forget the keanes. both sean and delores have been massive for trad. music. the whole family are blessed with talent and do the country proud
Heard a lovely girl called Sinnead singing this in Gran Canaria. Thanks to her I searched out Mary Black. Fabulous. Will definately be hearing more of her voice.
This one is for you My Kate, I hope you see this and remember that your all I want. If you read this, look at my user name, you;ll figure it out. I pray you and the Baby are well.
Mary Black is an Irish National Treasure. Thanks for the posting
i have a friend who has a daughter called katie.......this song always reminds me of when my own daughter brighid and katie were childhood friends...the haunting melody trails back down the passage of time...beautiful.

Black's voice is wonderful as always but as ever, it is Sinnott's understated arrangement that truly makes this a great, moving track. Top marks.
