I'm Irish, and I really didn't know alot about this girl or her music but I can honestly say after listening to this song and seeing this video that there are few more beautiful than she,anywhere!
Not a bad version. Check out an interview with the lovely Gemma Hayes inside the Confessional box of a church for the Kilkenny Arts Festival in Ireland - just search for "Gemma Hayes ION" Enjoy :-)
it's difficult to be proud to be Irish sometimes, but if there's one thing we can be seriously proud of, it's people like gemma hayes. the wealth of musical talent in this pokey wee country is humbling....much respect to you gemma :)
@coppertracy difficult to be proud to be irish? are you mad, lassie? We scots and the irish have legacies that rip a hole in modern history and slap blue and green paint all over it :)
WOW, her voice is amazing. Makes me sad that when I turn on the radio all I hear is Justin Bieber and Kesha over and over. I would much rather hear something like this. I plead with radio stations...please bring back great music like I am hearing here. Gemma...I am officially in love with your music.
have seen her live a few times, amazing performer :) has been doing acoustic shows in small venues all around ireland recently but didnt get to see her but heard that she was awesome!!
thats just her... was at her gig in tullamore last night and my god I wouldnt change a thing about her, Ive never seen some one so happy at their " job " its refreshing.
Insightful That this Track is actually about A Boy Called ''Willie'' whom Having had a huge ''Crush'' ( totally Understandable ! ) on GH...was dealt with by a good Hiding and some new school books having had his destroyed in a puddle !
He again attempted amorous advance with a ''Marathon'' Chocolate bar as a Peace offering...God loves persistence ! ( GH sings about it ) Thanks ! {.... He should have contacted the Gardaí .... }..........................Great Track !
@hoofie2 well if people stopped STEALING music no one would have a problem...obviously everyone's 'entitled' to obtain music how they see fit...but in the very near future when all YOUR favourite bands can't afford to tour or make new music because their record companies are bust..you can blame your own stupid self. if you want to slag this great artist off..go elsewhere!
@hoofie2 Gemma never said she was against file sharing. She said that she was conflicted as she would make comp tapes as a kid. She thinks illegal downloading isn't cool, but never said she agreed with the high court decision. Saw her at a music panel discussion...she actually said it was a matter of educating people about the harm illegal downloading can do, and she thought punishing people was harsh and counter productive. Get your facts straight before slagging off this amazing artist!
@hoofie2 - so let me get this straight, the owner of the material gets slagged off by the thief for having a problem with someone stealing her livelihood? Hmm, you make a good point :-)
i love how sweet and peaceful the melody is but the lyrics are pretty harsh..."you ripped the smile off my face and fed it to the winter birds"...sneaky and beautiful.
i've been listening to this song every night since i heard it... it's just gets better and better every time i listen to it... she's gorgeous and the song is amazing...
Amazing talent, we must live in an alternate universe, where good music keeps kept underground, and all the shit of the day gets airplay... so unfair to artists like gemma, but i guess it keeps it special for people who listen and post.
this lady has a such a special talent. ive seen her a few times on tour and have followed her music for years. being a songwriter myself..i get so much inspiration from her. thank you gemma
Those eyes....those eyes.....they make the song mean so much more. I love her music because you can see that she puts every fibre of her mind and body into it and this video is proof of that because of her eyes. I guess its true that the eyes are the window into the soul.
She sems to need a huge hug, a good bit of TLC,and some home made cooking. She looks so vulnernable.
Saw her recently.and she's looking much more beautiful than I've seen her before. Melancholy got a big market. Leonard Cohen, The Verve etc. Pulling at your heart strings sometimes effects your purse strings.
Viva Gemma. Let's hope you find your niche.
Ca Va? Notre petit chou.
Allez Tipp! et Ballyporren (La ville de la petite pomme de terre).
This is a perfect video for the song. In the same way that Sinead O'Connor's video for Nothing Compares was simplicity itself, so is this. The way Ms Hayes looks into the camera, stares into the camera, is simply stunning. Beautiful song.
I feel bad for saying "terrible video". I just was expecting an actual music video, not a performance video. It's great for what it is, I would just loe to see a real music video for this song. I feel like OLIVER tells such a beautiful story that I would like to see portrayed in a visual context.
Thats fair enough when you put it like that. I would actually kinda agree with you except for the fact you wouldnt have the 3 minute close up of gemmas gorgeous head, I wouldnt mind if all her vids were like this one :D
I saw her perform this song last night! The story she told about it was beautiful

This bint -- Gemma Hayes -- has just been on Irish national TV bitching about file sharing.
She is supporting a move to have anyone who is caught downloading music be blacklisted and banned by their broadband provider.
She is complaining that enough perople haven't bought her most recent album.
Stupid cow.
Make your own mind up about her, but keep in mind her aggressive stance on file-sharing when next you consider buying her "product".

Oliver,
You kicked a hole through my heart
And left me with the whistling sound
As the wind blows through
With duct tape
And an open bag, I covered it up
And put back on my sweater
So I look the same
But I'm a little different now
