we're singing this in choir, this is a slow, sad song, about a girl who gets pregnant and the guy leaves her..this makes it seem happier..and its not giving the right mood..i love this song..just not this version.
Isn't the point of the poem to counterpose her sadness to nature bursting with beauty and joy? That's why I think this version fits musically with what Burns was writing about.
My choir sounds better than this...of course we have the violinist. It doesn't even tell the story in this though, the music is WAY too happy for a girl to lose her virginity and be sad about.
:D

Shes a great artist but I prefer the original version. The music states it should be sung tenderly.

I have to say I somewhat agree with rajkbose. This rendition does not by any stretch do justice to Robert Burns.
