[jckfmsincty]

[alocohc]

@deniskatashkentskiy yes they are and don't they look good together and happy.  :-)

[freakhzbt]

nina simone is singing it here; best artist ever

[nirdtron]

This song was written by John Jacob Niles. youtube that guy! There is some amazing vids of him singing in falsetto!

[river6969us]

@nirdtron its an old Scottish folk tune written by "anonymous" There are versions were the beloved is a man, as in this version, and others where the beloved is a woman.

[brownkevi]

Absolute shite! This beautiful song was written by Hamish Imlach!

[brownkevi]

Absolute shite! This song was written by Scottish singer Hamlish Imlach

[FayeFaye30]

@brownkevi lol this song was around way before that guy,its surfaced in apppalachian region of America in 1915, author is unkwown but said to be passed on orally from scotland most likely

but anyway, this is a crappy version

[nanimangow]

SOMEBODY KNOWS WHO SING´S THIS SONG?!

[Bairescairo]

It's Nina Simone & Jaffa, but there are a lot of versions, you can find them here on Youtube!

Superb.....I am spending hours on the net to find all diiferent versions of this song. I like this one.

The character Ledger played could have been the twin brother to my partner of seventeen years. If i close my eyes and listen to him, it is like having Bill back. They are both gone now. We were about as different as night and day, like the two in the movie. I miss him. A beautiful song to apply to this sequence of the movie-wonderful resonant voice.

[bylinka73]

simply beautiful

[papallacta]

It's funny, because I've been working on a script with a story similar to Brokeback Mountain and I listen to this song for inspiration.

[EimearXSailing]

reaally good song!.. rip Heath x

[ameisingset]

Where can I get this remix of Black is the color..?

[bowiette77]

in Electro Jazz lounge it is remixed by Jaffa

[BlackHawk92w]

Oh my... ich liebe das Lied, und ich liebe den Film und überhaupt, ich fang gleich wieder an zu heulen.

[Ermengarde11]

Farewell, dear Heath.

[irishstrat]

It's a scottish song christy moore collected off a guy in glasgow at a concert in the 60's/70's.........

[allenanb]

remixed from nina simone

[lostnparody]

[allenanb]

[lufty72]

Down by the Clyde in Glasgow's Montrose Square...

[Thuglordrpt]

broke back mountain is for fags????

[italoblu]

[paulostroff99]

Yes,this is a famous Irish folk song,and yes it is Nina Simone doing the singing!

P.S.-gojnalek-because cowboys don't cry!!Ha,ha.

[ninasimone7]

very very nice....

[lugh100]

Nina Simone I think.

[tugmutton]

Who is singing this song?

[smoothtom9]

Ah well  - there u go - tnx for info kevp18

[smoothtom9]

excellent - shame you didnt use the original Christ Moore song - the original singer of it - his haunting music would have been more appropriate I reckon.

Brilliant moving movie

[Kevp18]

smoothtom9, Christy Moore isn't the original singer of the song. It was a guy from Glasgow and Christy moore just asked to use it!

[Ridire]

Actually I'm pretty sure this is an old scottish folk song with the original singers name long lost.

[ronandelargy101]

i think you'l find its a really old irish folk song, not scottish, although its prety easy to mix the two up

[phillynottjr]

its probably a bit of both, it mentions the clyde though a river in scotland

[HeadlessFatLady]

I heard it was a Scottish balad too, but I'm not here to argue. Something to research indeed.

[stillwaterguy04]

The song is hundreds of years old, and the lyrics and arrangement in this rendition of it are American modifications of the original Scottish version. It was brought to America by the Scoth-Irish in the 18th Century, and they improved it over the course of many generations. Of course, Nina Simone gives it her own flair here.

[gojnalek]

Music is splendid but doesn't fit in. Movie is a crap anyway. I don't understand the world. There has been Jarman, Pasolini and many others why this stale cowboy sentimentality, pathetic stuff.

[ParkerRidges]

We had to sing this song in chorus..

Loved the movie... loved this video!!!

[Fionnestaines]

its originally an Irish song,but not this version,I am Irish by the way.

[Azeokun]
