I'm not in the habit of posting comments were they unwarranted. However, in this case I must respond to raskulcha's apparent insinuation that this recording is not her voice but that of Loreena McKennitt. Elolinona sings this song using her Brittish accent. It is markedly different from Loreena McKennitt's Scottish accent. I've compared them both and they are indeed distinctly different.
I delight in listening to her beautiful voice. She pours her heart and soul into into every note.
I love that song, and a really good performance of it! I'm Irish so naturally this song is close to me! Check out the film "Michael Collins". An irish movie, this song is played in it near the end, it fits perfectly.
raskulcha, it is her own voice. you´re right that its close to loreena´s one. but it just means that the world has become one more awesome folk singer richer! :D
elolinona, keep up the great work, and maybe we'll see you're cd in the shops over a few years (or soon). it would be great (in my opinion) if you would find some people who could play nyckelharpa, lowwhistle, bagpipes and probably an hurdygurdy. i think you have an great voice for that! gr. from Holland
@Elolinona I would like to come and measure your acoustic environment there, as I think you actually have a miracle room, this needs to be investigated and I have to find out how you have done with that room!!!!
@Elolinona It's truly amazing that room you have there, it must be a miracle room!! I have to come and measure and analyze it!! In my 20+ years in this business I have never heard a normal room sound like that, how did you do that?
Wow! That was beautiful! Please can you let me know what the words of the 3rd verse are, I can't quite catch them. I've always sung a shorter version of this, and I love the extras that your version has. Really beautifully done.
Oh lovely Elolinona! I wonder if you've heard the late Margaret Barry's version of the song? NOT to take away from your terrific interpretation at all... it's just very different, and I thought you might enjoy it. Thanks so much for sharing, it was a pleasure listening.
Wow. Better than the versions of many proffesional singers. You should look into the songs from "Celtic Woman" Their songs would suit your voice well! I would honestly buy your album if it were for sale. WOW!
What expressiveness! What lovely decorations! I've known this song since I knew what music was, sung it many times, played it on the harp, but never heard it done so well. Thank you.
Flawless. I knew you'd perform it perfectly as soon as I saw the title. One of my favorites.
Elina, I think this is every bit as fine as that of Loreena McKennitt, and certainly beats Sinead O'Connor's (although it has its own magic, as well).
So, when will you finally audition for Swedish Idol? Hmmmmm?
OMG MORE

The people were saying,
No two e'er were wed
But one had a sorrow
That never was said
And I smiled as she passed
With her goods and her gear,
And that was the last
That I saw of my dear.
