Sinéad O'Connor - She moved through the Fair - Sult 1997

This is a tragic piece about lost love. This song was written in 1909 although the original pre-dates this. But a song collector and publisher named Herbert Hughes heard the melody while in County Donegal and approached the song writer Padric Colum with the last two lines of the song and asked him to write a version.

Sinéad left out some of the song.
Usually the third verse is
"The people were saying no two were e´er wed,
But one has 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."
and the last verse should start:
"last night she came to me, my dead love came in"
This is where the young man denies that he murdered his young love.


In the last verse we hear the line, I dreamed last night my young love came in. The original line is, I dreamed last night that my dead love came in (implying she haunts him for what he done).

The song has been used in several movies including Brave Heart.

Sinead has an amazing talent. Like many gifted artists, she has her demons (bipolar disorder is very serious). I hope she finds health and peace.

@SpeakingMyMind7 Read her Wiki page. Abusing children really effs them up.

I WOULD PUT HER ON THE SAME LEVEL AS A SARAH BRIGHTMAN, IN SO FAR AS SINGING WITHOUT BACKGROUND MUSIC..

OF COURSE BRIGHTMAN IS IN A LEAGUE ALL HER OWN, JUST LISTEN TO LE FLUR DU MAL IN HD (GOTHICA) AND YOU WILL SEE.
