this should not be sung like this i think. sally gardens is an institution lol no more!! maura oconnell does THE version of it. no offence intended

I think that every artist is always looking for a different way of doing it. I do like Maura's version. Overall, Megan is great though. BTW, this was done towards the end of a very long day. They went over their contract by 2-3 hours for a military appreciation get together.

I love this song but this chick has bastardised it by muttering the lyrics throughout, rendering the words unintelligible and thereby, attenuating the emotional resonance of the lyrics. It almost seemed as if she didn't even know the lyrics. Look, I am all for poetic license and perhaps, she was going for that grungy, mumbling vocalisation that Kurt Cobain built his reputation upon, but a traditional Irish folk song should be sung well,...traditionally.

I think you're in the minority on this opinion. But each to his/her own.

Good voice, not a bad style for this song, but she can definetely work on her breathing - and memorizing the lyrics would not hurt either :P

But the violine playing is totally beautiful!

I bear no mind to the negative comments, me. In Erie, if you're singing from your heart, that's what matters and the little lady has her heart in the tune and she gets five stars and a dusting of magic from the little sprite.

@maggot1916 Oh my God! A: Jesus is the son! B: Nooo! Mahamed is it! C: Hee! You are all stupid! Its Rabbi Chehabi! D:...! ! E: .... Kill them all! Thanks for your great interpretation n honor of life. If someone think this is THE best or watherver, evolution would not gone over the 1cell-living. It makes me goosbooms, or how it is written. Do you sing it also`?..

@dsggg999: Definitely in the minority. It's a lovely version. Thanks for posting!

[EchoChick2009]

Why would anyone attempt to sing a traditional song if they didn't know the words? Good grief.

[UndercoverCracker]

@maggot1916 Orla does THE best version.

[2010Saoirse]

@maggot1916 I agree with you on Maura O'Connell. Yet, the instrumental part starting at 01:45 is one of the most amazing and moving ones I have ever heard!!!

[TheFairygirl1996]

Beautiful.....she has the same hair like i. haha great job!!!

[Bippie2345]

Very hard to understand the words..... I know the song well, she slurs her words.

@dsggg999 no one is saying that isn't appreciated. but that doesn't make this close to good
