Dana - The Far Off Place (1971)

[NaturePlaceDream]

This song actually describes my far off place!

[TheWaterfallprincess]

haunting........it gives me chills whenever I hear this beautiful Irish folk song..Dana's voice is perfect ...a wonderful song from an enchanting little family movie from 1971...lovely just lovely. xx

[beckielucy4ever]

Anyone know the chords?(guitar)

[BeztMuzic]

The beauty of this song is no less than that of its more popular contemporary “What is a Youth” of 1968. According to one comment, the first part was sung in Irish and I don’t understand a word. Dana got the voice to turn the melody into a haunting memory. In my humble opinion, this enticing song is underappreciated. A+

[814Music]

This is a very moving lovely song. A+

Is brea liom an amhrain seo-ta na focail go hiontach as Gaeilge agus as Bearla. I love this song-the words are wonderful in Irish and English.

My DANA channel now has 80+ favourites for you to enjoy in this her 40th anniversary year.

[Iwillfollowyou]

I could listen to this all night. Imagine being in the audience of a local talent show in Derry in the Sixties: a young Dana appears on stage with her guitar and sings like this. No wonder she won so many contests in her youth. She should record a DANA Unplugged album NOW!

[zKATRYNz]

THAT WAS DANA!???

did anyone else notice that the stepdads voice is like, EXACTLY like ringos xD

[branie99]

@zKATRYNz well, the very start of the film IS set in Liverpool, and ringo and the stepfather would have the same accent!

I watched this movie 35 years ago. I loved this song so much but couldn't remember the name or anything but there was 'dove' in the title. Thank you for uploading this song. I also happen to be a Korean.

Been looking all over for this film. Obviously it was memorable from my childhood. Thanks for posting this beautiful song.

[mainespi]

Thank you very much for sharing this beautiful song! I´ve been looking for the music of this film I saw as a child. Can you also upload the song "You don´t need to be Irish to be irish, please?" Thanks, Maria Ines from Uruguay.

[aero3132]

I've been trying to find a certain song's name. My friend gave me a cd with a bunch of Irish folk music and this one song is just a woman singing with an acoustic guitar accompanying her. She sings something about stars and courting young men... Anyone know?

[stevenfarrow01]

play the song then dial 2580 of your phone it will identify the song 4 u

[aero3132]

I don't even have a phone. It's on a cd. I know more of the lyrics now though. "I wish I was a sparrow, with wings I could fly to my own true lover" or something like that.

[pilotpotty]

thanks for sharing

its so haunting
