The Fields Of Athenry (Acapella)

[BADBHOY03]

Still get goosebumps HH

[WyzDat]

Beautiful. BTW In Ireland "Acapella" as you call it is an old tradition of singing without accompaniment it is known as "Shan Nos"

[laotzu4272]

Why would you want musical accompaniment? You have an amazing voice. Perfect pitch and beautifully rounded tones. If you are not making lots of money with your voice there is no justice.

Please sing more Acapella

[martychudej]

Shlainte! Eirinn go deo! :)

[sportsguy625]

this is beautiful, what a great voice. I think adding instruments to your voice would not be as good. Singing like this is what music is all about. so beautiful.

[Natilra]

You have got an absolutely incredible voice.

Thank you so much for posting this.

[Yvonukon]

Beautiful voice. Perfection.

[MyMoppet52]

What a lovely version. This is a fantastic voice and excellent video. Thank you. p.s. I know this is MollyIrishEyes site. I wish the name of the artist was on the video!

[Ominix301]

i got some Irish in me. My grandmas maiden name is Shannon. this brings me closer to my heritage. I am proud to have a share of Irish blood. I would love to see the Fields of Atheny and the green rolling hills of Ireland. I'm moving there after I graduate in 2013. See you soon Ireland.

[SuperLimerick]

grand, grand and grand....

[Thegingerfilmmaker]

Everytime I listen to songs such as this, I long to be outside. I miss Ireland's fields so so so much :(

[AnotherPittsburgher]

It's strange how such a sad song can be so comforting.

[lilsaprano123]

Great version I love this song.  Please take a look at my video I am 13 and from Wales.

[Morgani]

Nice voice. Your vibrato pushes you a little sharp sometimes, but it's really pretty.

[kakas10000]

Never liked a capella..Till now..You are trully amazing..The most beautyfull version of the song (surpasses any i heard)

[mrtomburn]

[cmndo]

this is sung about the convict women to Australia... my ancestors. I saw this lady sing live.

[OFD724]

Is that beautiful woman in the pics the one that's singing?

[andrebishop22]

Ireland was the bread basket of Britain, british exports from ireland where at their highest during the famine!! the ottomans tried to bring 30 ships of aid into ireland and the british blocaded it and only let through 3!!!! It was an orchestrated genocide and its a fact that travelyn and his supporters thought that the famine was gods wrath on the irish people over fighting for their freedom.

[Typo00101010]

On ultimate guitar

[Typo00101010]

@sikkinixx82 I don't like them and what I have found in the past for the fields of athenry has not been correct.

[rickymclaren]

God bless Scotland's and Ireland's relationship! forever more!!

[lilsaprano123]

@rickymclaren and dont forget us welsh !

[Typo00101010]

This is one of my favorite versions of this song. It would be my favorite if it had a guitar backing. Happy St. Patty's day and if anyone knows a great place to get tabs for this or other songs let me know.

[sikkinixx82]

@Typo00101010 ultimate guitar . com then look up the dropkick murphys version. i slowed it down and did alterate picking to calm it down from the punk version they do. it works. i tried to post a link but it would not let me. hope you find it tho and happy playing. Cheers.

[bllabllabllaedheblla]

happy st patrick's day from kosovo too all you irish people

[goatpappy49]

Absolutely beautiful, Molly, It gave me the willies, for sure. You need no instrumental backing whatsoever. More please! Subscribing NOW!

[watchinshadows]

Your voice just blows me away every time!, well done, an excellent effort.

[Tpainkiller21]

If I Wasnt Palestinian I Would've Wished To Be Irish

[silvershields]

cead mile failte - at least spell it corretly

[theirisher]

Lovely rendition. Strong voice, nice embellishments, and appropriate emotion. Excellent. Thumbs up!

[bumerry]

Beautifully sung with your sweet and lovely voice. As good as The Dubliners, IMO. Thanks!

[Angeloismylove]

I´m from Czech republic but I love Ireland. I hope I´ll see this beautiful country soon. :) All the best!

[shinkitai]

nicely sung..... parkhead would have been in rapturious applause miss o'green

[thunderballacks]

Hi Molly, this is brilliant, you have the voice of an angel, thanks for warming our hearts and singing this brilliant version for us.

[Ieatbabyseals]

Last names O'Green but I live in the US. I'd like to think I still have a connection to Ireland, small as it may be.

[HippyamongHicks]

What is this? It's like someone took beauty, intensified it, then gave it to this woman in the form of a voice.

[highlemper]

another lovely voice video!

[AnotherCuppaCoffee]

Let's remember that it was the sovereign rights of property over human rights that sent poor English, Irish and Scots to the gulag of Australia, where they built a culture of equality. Transportation to Australia was an alternative to the death sentence, even for stealing a loaf of bread. Thank God for the Labour movement.

[franny74656]

im irish......shit economy with corrupt government and banks draining the country...but some of us are proud...

[byMindero]

@franny74656

Same here, in Hungary.

[Medeann8675309]

@franny74656 Sounds like the US!

[MyMoppet52]

Fantastic. I don't think you need instrumentation. The photos are spectacular. What a great presentation! Thanks for the history of the song, also.

[PyroK8]

@MyMoppet52 I agree! Your voice is beautiful enough without the instrumentation.

[Ravenscaller]

My Oh My, what a great voice and a beautiful version of a hauntingly beautiful song.

[flexibartrampolin]

You are a fine singer. Please turn off the delay effect. Or even better: walk out on the hills and record it there. Please!

[BADBHOY03]

One of a kind :-) brilliant :-)

[Zeus0546]

From The Netherlands: Great!

[mullac1980]

wonderful version of this song! God bless Ireland from your Scottish brothers and sisters!

[cmndo]

@mullac1980

good aussie/irish song

[jackda27]

perfect



[pmurphy387]

this is beautiful! It sounds perfect you dont need instrumental with a voice like that :)

[betterman80]

Nothing better than hearing this at thomond park watching the mighty munster men!!

[citygroundforever]

I've heard a lot of versions and yours is up there with the best!

[jayfla729]

Beautiful rendition, Molly. Thanks,

[athox]

I saw this video first about 6 months ago, and I've still to find a better version of this song.

[wwwdihstyledotcom]

Let's talk about Justin Bieber in this video too :s

[peggysyoungest]

Who needs a backing track! A beautiful, haunting rendition of an important history lesson. Wish the rest of England would let the Irish have their dignity back.

[TheMissSchneewitchen]

@peggysyoungest you are so right in everything you said! I totally agree!!

[cervusadfontes]

@peggysyoungest wish the english would let Yorkshire, Mercia, Northumberland, Cumbria, Devon, Cornwall, Wales, Scotland & the Isles - let US ALL have some pride back - (and of Yorkshire they made a wasteland" - Domesday Book)

[annie10103]

@cervusadfontes

You always make us look like the bad guys! :) I wish I were Irish you guys are so peaceful, not like the stereotypes we give you.

[CredoCatholicJournal]

Wonderful!

[historychick1863]

I love Acapella! You have an amazing voice! So beautiful!

[LindesGirl666]

Did you do more of this? I love your voice =)

[alocohc]

lovely voice

[cqsallie]

@cnavaro88 Why bother entering this? Just to keep the fight going? You and Glenn Beck, eh? God forbid that there's not a little war going on someplace.....

[sueroberts100]

Desperate to obtain a copy of this for my fathers funeral as matter of urgency - any advice as we cannot locate a published copy thank you, it is the purest of all versions.

[CaityLouise85]

Your a beautiful singer :D

[bullyboy1863]

this gives me chills

[mcyrel]

so true f the crown, we will win our battle

[brownclown96]

[Gokturk2010]

Love the music

[theboreenblog]

Absolutely Beautiful!!

[footmilk6]

absolutly love this version... wat a great voice. im welsh and am really into folk music atm.. i absolutly love it. this is one of my favourite folk songs if not my favourite.

[Biverix]

No Irish blood in me, but I love the Irish music. This is beautiful, Molly :) Tiocfaidh Ár Lá!

[baronzclegend]

@Biverix Spastic if your not from here then dont have a say in the countrys politics

[Biverix]

@baronzclegend I have a say in whatever the fuck I want. I have my opinions, and this is a public space. If I wanna bring them out, I will. If you mind, well, that's *your* problem isn't it.

Not like I'm gonna go and VOTE in Ireland, but I'm entitled to my opinion on things, so I don't see what bothers you so much.

[poofax56]

@Biverix

No such thing as Irish blood. Nor English, Scottish, Welsh or even royal blood. Blood is classified by group, not by birthplace or nationality.

[Biverix]

@poofax56 Would it ever dawn on you that I was perhaps being figurative?

[redjoker1880]

fuck the union jack grtz from antwerpen

[Sadiep16]

This is such a beautful song. I'm amazed that the women can to this without any accompiment of music. Wonderful job.

I'm an American mutt, with only a quater Irish, but I love the Irih legands and some of the Irish songs and I have proud to have even a quater of Irish blood in me. God bless the Irish.

[GBarry5920]

I love your version of this lovely song. I am attempting to arrange it for my harp and found an instrumental version for mandolin that I can use. This might help you.traditionalmusic.co.uk/man­dolin-tab/Fields_Of_Athenry.ht­m

[stem2k9]

brings a tear to my eye every time

R.I.P daddy

[NickHannula]

Begorra, I wish I were Irish!

[ABILL1959]

[jimmyfdude]

My Irish Molly! Beautiful and plainntive version. maith an cailin

[IrishAmericana]

Your voice is freaking amazing.

[katiemarykane]

Brian Concannon's great article on the relationship between manufactured hunger in Haiti and in Ireland (in the nineteenth century), "Eating Dirt in Ireland and Haiti," starts out with a reading of this song. "Nothing matters when you are free. Against the famine and the crown, I rebelled: they cut me down. . . . It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry."

[yanks1234]

Ah the land that I belong to. One day I shall be with thee.

[cervusadfontes]

ussen tykes from yorkshire - we want freedom too - we're nivver bin English - ussen is Vikingangers - and baresarks an all

[ManlnCognito]

@cervusadfontes bullshit

[NobleKorhedron]

Like the song says boy *sung mournfully* "For you stole Trevelyan's corn, so the young might see the morn, now the prison ship lies waiting in the bay"

[dajboy1]

nice song. pitty it says against the crown.

[revolution55125]

@dajboy1 Not a pity. We still shall have a free Ireland.

[32eire32jim]

@dajboy1 Fuck the crown, fuck the inbred that wears it, and fuck whoever supports it

[xScorcherx]

Nice job, but u could work on your tuning

[ukpoliticalmiddle]

Hey, I thought I was the only one who noticed! Damn.

[ukpoliticalmiddle]

I agree, I'm afraid.

[hissphillips]

[biotchlofa]

[Ewanwhosearmy]

Absolutely beautiful Molly, you have one hell of a talent, and you picked an immortal song.

[ukpoliticalmiddle]

[xScorcherx]

@ukpoliticalmiddle Up, AND down :P

[astridth567]

[TheModdeyDhoo]

you have to make your own CD of these irish anthems! I'd buy it!!!

I see living in the US has not dulled your stunning irish voice.

[FairmontFan]

yindyssagh! Gura mie ayd

[SuperDocj]

I grew up listening to this song with my gran singing it. She would have LOVED to hear you sing it. Incredible.

You should come to Celtic park to sing it, you'd have another 60,000 fans.

Thanks Molly, truly beautiful :)

[cheapside1]

so incredible! To sing with no accompaniment shows true talent. I think having accompaniment would have taken away from your performance. ;-)

[copstolemywife]

Very nice. I was in a shop a couple of years back and I heard a beautiful version sung by a woman with an almost country and western feel to it. I have been trying to find out who it was ever since. I should have asked the shop keeper I know. Any suggestions anyone?

[leighmckennan1]

fuck the pope

[empcoan]

Another brain surgeon.

[Ashkicker13]
