Conor O'Brien - Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep

[ForlornSuicide]

I recited this poem at my grandmothers funeral. I could barely make it to the end before my voice broke with tears. Thank you for giving us this poem put to music. It is beautiful and I know my grandmother would have loved it so much.

Beautiful haunting rendition of this song...........my mom recently pasted and I would like to dedicate this song to her. This version had me balling when I first heard it I also can not stop listening to this version simply amazing, I to would like there to be a single that I can buy of Conor O Brian's version.

[HotBlueLightning]

aaaaand most likely he got laid that night

[padraic2001eire]

Is this an original interpretation or did Conor O'Brien base it on an existing version?

[audiodead]

Bloody awful. Sounds like a hippy song from the 70's. I want to wrap that mike stand around his head.

[Marte1618]

He (and the song are brilliant!

[Tommysgirl14]

Gorgeous. I hope I get to see him on tour this year :)

[RoyPortel]

This is WONDERFULL!

I really wish he'd record a studio-version of this song.

I've came back to this video several days for the last 3 days as well.

Just amazing...

[angelabinu]

Very, very beautiful.

[twilightgirl4343]

That poof of hair sticking up on his head reeeeeaaaaalllly bothers me! But I love this song!

[chucklds]

I first heard this song on a Libera cd. I love your version, more compelling, more personal and very beautiful voice for this song. Thank you for posting.

[Huyberechts]

Can I buy this song somewhere?

[boydie40]

A good musical version of the poem.

[BluBerryCrush]

beautifully haunting!

[lordromano]

What a beautiful, beautiful song. Thank you so much for posting this. I also have a personal connection with the poem, he really does it justice. I've made the mistake of watching this in work and now I'm trying to hide my tears!!

[gemnastar37]

met conor o'brien at oxegen last weekend and asked him to put this song as a b side on his next single, he seemed to really like the idea because he said he hadnt played the song in so long, I hope this helps :)

[clarke197979]

[designx86]

Absolutely the best version of this haunting amazing song.

[k11071208]

i was looking for a version like this for ages and i'm totally happy i found it.

the singer is fantastic and the choir makes the song even more special.

thanks for posting as well:).

[sayanarat]

---not really convinced by this " Huahua uhhhhu

mhmhm" of this kinda strange girl choir..or whatever this is,. Just a bit funny..

By the way this song ( and poem) has nothing to do with Hopis ! And its really not ancient.lol.

[bouri666]

Haunting.. in a weird and beautiful way..

[rollsroycechris]

Conor, you are a star, I do hope you will try and get giggs in Brighton and London

[radiator26]

[kateindublin]

kate

[mnsnuttin]

Kate, Thanks for responding. Did you ever receive my first comment?! It didn't post, and I wondered why. Maybe it was too personal or I did it incorrectly. This song was amazing for me because I once had a son named Conor.

[kateindublin]

Hi Denise - no, I didn't get your first comment. Very sad to hear about your son. I had my own connection to the song too. It's a lovely performance.

[mrjotz]

@mnsnuttin If you haven't heard by now, he now performs under the name Villagers, and he's got an album out called "Becoming a Jackal", which is astoundingly good.

[Ceolteor]

Conor, you must get The Immediate back together!!

[doddderek]

Wunderschön

[carlieboots]

Woohoo!
