Wendy Arrowsmith: Land O' the Leal

A beautiful song written by Lady Caroline Nairn in the 1798 (ish) to comfort some friends whose daughter had died. "Land o' The Leal" literally means Land of The Loyal. i.e. Heaven. I could not find the original tune, so I've written my own.

The song is taken from my new album "Seeds of Fools" released August 1st 2009.

Lovely voice and guitar. If you listen to Silly Wizard's version you will hear one of the most moving melodies that ever existed.

Yes, I've now heard the Sill Wizard version (and one or two other versions) it is beautiful.

However I always think the beauty of these great old songs is that they can take different interpretations and still shine through.

Thank you for your comment.
