Bruce has a very good voice, easy on the ear, but his style is more American 'country' imo. Something about the phrasing, intonation, not sure how to describe it. I don't want to provoke anyone - I'm really glad the band is continuing to thrive - but Donnie's voice is more Celtic in tone, shape, whathaveyou, and suits the Runrig music better. I'd love to hear DM's version of this song!

The best band to ever walk the earth!

After listening this switch to capital fm and listen for as long as bearable, after that listen to this again and compare. Wish more brilliant music like this was in the mainstream consciousness rather thant the stuff you see on tv and radio.

@RunrigFan, yes I do know that, perhaps try reading my comment again.

[RunrigFan]

@Softrockman BTW Bruce is Canadian not American.

@Softrockman You obviously don't know what falsetto is!! Bruce doesn't use falsetto in this song and, off the top of my head, I can't recall him using it in any Runrig song.

[OutlawMinniePearl]

This is exquisite, the definitive male version, equal to Connie Dover's female version!! I am delighted Runrig has honored this great lament with a SUBLIME INTERPRETATION & PERFORMANCE!!! I would expect no less. Love the pedal steel! @Softrockman, If this sounds like Frankie Valee or Berry Gibbs, what's your idea of soft rock, Metallica?? FYI, not all Americans sing like sock puppets!!! I now fully understand why Billy Joe & other great artists won't do their sweet & tender stuff in concert!!!
