Celtic Wonder-The Briar and the Rose

[sparky1212new]

I have this cd and a few of the songs in it make me want to cry which is very rare it may be that I am 1/8 irish or that somewhere in that black hole in my chest is a heart lol either way they move me so

[HeroOfTime1]

I cant stop listening to thiss.

[DANO8823]

Tom waits



[twillick]

The Cottars have the most amazing version of this song. I wish there was a version of this on youtube, but I've not found it yet.

Still, a nice version.

[StonefieldJim4]

Tom Waits - what a genius. He can do anything, including write a contemporary folk standard of uncommon beauty.

[Finished2295]

I somehow feel connected to irish celtic music having the name Niamh :D

[thinkpinksyd]

okey i have this cd! and i LOVE this song! just saying

[yornusekstoi]

Her voice is that of an angel. I use this CD to calm me and comfort me. It makes me feel at peace so sleep can take me.

[sukieneal]

The lady singing is Niamh Parsons and the man is Fran Mc Phail of the Voice Squad

[pattver369]

This voice sounds very much like June Tabor if I am not mistaken. So beautiful!...

[naomheanna]

I do not know who the female singer is in this song but i know the man is from The Voice Squad

[AzrealShadow]

What an awesome song! Always loved it and it fits so nicely to a beauty and beast theme.

[njminer1]

I have to intercede here to say, that this is NOT an Irish song, but was written by San Diegan, Tom Waits. He has never really spoken as to why he wrote it, but it is universally embraced by gaels/celts worldwide.

[njminer1]

I have to intercede here, to point out that this is NOT an Irish song, but was written by San Diegan, Tom Waits.

[casadariniabcs]

[music18lover]

I grew up with Celtic music and love it!

[natsun7gem]

[kiohiyohoshi13]

i listen to this cd for inspiration when i write or draw ^3^ i love this cd had it for many years...

[Secredgarden]

This of course is not an Irish song. it is written by Tom Waits, an American

[gabeandlaiaburke]

I love Celtic Woman, i cant stand Celtic Women. they seem to spend more time on sounding like angels than having a Gaelic sound...

These Women have awesome! Laia

[Ardmacha2]

It Certaimly is not an Irish song.Original recorded by Tom Waites

[darthvicky6]

I have the cd, love it!

[barrylarry70]

GREAT CD!!! what a cool harmony ... I hope my little girls loves this song @ 16.

[hiddenpoetintheband]

I love this song... I do my homework to it. it is actualy the most played song on my Ipod... who would have guessed a 16 year old would like celtic?

[mistressmascara]

What a pathetic thing to say... Celtic is for any and all ages. Who's to say it's uncommon for a 16-year-old to like Celtic music?

[xXRainingDarknessXx]

Hey, I'm 13 and have been listening to Irish music since I was 12! My mom hates it, but I <333 Celtic things...

[Ganjus]

@hiddenpoetintheband Not me, considering there is nothing celtic about the song, other then the band singing it.  This is actually a Tom Waits song. A lovely tune, both original and covered. I recommend you check out the original, Tom Waits is an incredible and vastly underrated artist. This from someone who loves celtic music as well.

[lorena9021074]

I bought this cd at walmart 4 years ago. Totally love it.

[latindrummer210]

@lorena9021074 HA!!1 ME TOO!!!!!

[and0the0drums]

i love this cd. for years, i've cleaned my room to it (dunno why, it just works!)

[moonshinewitch404]

@and0the0drums For some odd reason when I listen to these songs I have a strange urge to clean too

[Dolphinboy02056]

@and0the0drums it is so very cleansing

[RichyTheHobo]

That was gorgeous. That 's the first time I've ever head anyone cover one of my favourite Tom Waits tunes so well. It's well suited to that style. Maybe me being Scottish helps, mind you! :-)

[wrzlbrmpft3334]

Listen to Holly Cole - The Briar and the Rose with the Canadian Brass - +++++++!

[eunified61]

this song is from tom waits album The black rider which is based around a german tale of a man trying to win the hand of a hunters daughter , he takes bullets from the devil

[lithaine]

i have this cd, it rocks.

[djt20]

Not irish, written by tom waits

[Datafreak5]

I have Celtic Woman and A New Journey, but I do not have this song!! Why??!??!??

[CelticMusings]

I am sorry. :( I accidentally titled the video "Celtic Woman" It's actually a lovely cd called Celtic Wonder. I will fix that! :D I hope it hasn't caused to much confusion!

Celtic Woman is very wonderful!

[deonip]

This is Niamh Parsons, the version from Live at Flyde is sublime

[Hymnia]

Gee Now I want to go find my copy of this cd and song :D
