Mary Black - Bright Blue Rose

[rickdermody]

Isn't this about Mary, the mother of Jesus? Always portrayed in blue, known as the Mystical Rose. "She is the perfect creature and I am the geek with the alchemist's stone"--the stone turned to gold, as the rosary beads of the faithful have turned golden at Marian sites such as Medugorje. "One bright blue rose outlives all those, 2000 years and still it goes to ponder His death and His life eternally"--at the Nativity Mary "pondered all these things in her heart.".

She has a voice you have to listen at. Within 3,5 I'll see and above all hear her in Amsterdam Carré

[DoctorMezzo]

She does still perform live. I saw her on American tour last November and she and her band and her daughter were amazing. Her voice is lower than it was 20 years ago when this was recorded but we still thought she was fantastic.

I've just discovered Mary B , a pal of mine is from across the water. ..... and so, you tube and went searching ......... This is ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT. Does she still sing live ? I must sad I play it nearly everyday , WONDERFUL . answers most appreciated. Happy days to all.

who is jesus?????????????????????/

[EmilMarius1960]

Pretty voice, pretty woman, pretty way!

[amadain1]

I skimmed across black water, without once submerging Onto the banks of an urban morning That hungers the first light, much much more Than mountains ever do. And she like a ghost beside me, goes down with the ease of a dolphin And emerges unlearned, unshamed, unharmed For she is the perfect creature, natural in every feature And I am the geek with the alchemists’ stone Chorus

[amadain1]

For all of you who must discover, For all who seek to understand, For having left the path of others You find a very special hand And it is a holy thing, and it is a precious time And it is the only way Forget-me-nots among the snow, it’s always been and so it goes To ponder his death and his life eternally Chorus For all of you who must discover For all who seek to understand, For having left the path of others You find a very special hand

[amadain1]

And it is a holy thing

And it is the only way

Forget-me-nots among the snow, it’s always been

and so it goes

To ponder his death and his life eternally

One bright blue rose outlives all those

Two thousand years and still it goes

To ponder his death and his life eternally

[bellerace1]

Jimmy is the man... Saw him in Cork a few months ago.. Fantastic gig... the way he depicts situations in his word his extraordinary...

[youtareatubejeb1927]

Dan - where can i get a jimmy mccarthy cd.

[IndigoJo]

@youtareatubejeb1927: You can buy "The Dreamer" on Amazon; search for "jimmy maccarthy" and it's the first thing that comes up. I think it's out of print, though.
