this track always drags me back ,,must be a celt thing ,,i feel your love for the emerald isle ,,being half irish and welsh ,,i understand ,,we have a word here in wales called Hiraeth ,,check it out ,,you will know and understand :)

[marycigarettes]

@xxpiggystardustxx yes..i love the place,and i miss it terribly...and yet i know there's no going back ....i do go back there in the literal sense,but when i'm there i see and talk to more ghosts that actual living people . ireland is a great place...a real blessing to have been brought up there.i hold it very close.....hiraeth is exactly the word for it.

@spuddy83 thanks spuddy...it's such a lovely song to sing...i guess that's why so many people have a go at it.

You know how it feels to get a load of clean sheets out of the dryer, and before you start folding them you just hold them close and feel the warmth soak in all over you? Well that's what I do with your voice.

I think that is the most incredible comment I have ever read on You Tube. timboytx. you must be someone remarkable just to think that way.

[badgerbeth2]

that, was awesome

[avisualfeel]

Paddy Reilly does a nice interpretation of this song & captures the flavor & the nationalism inherent in the Irish pub scene! Your rendition however is so haunting & emotional & goes beyond the spirit of the song! It's suppose to be in Carrickfergus, but u take it somewhere else...& we're with u all the way!

it was pure joy to listen to this song,

man you can deliver a song ,im glad there is no one to compare you to because it makes you unique,,,,,Alan

I found this video and this ballad, which I have never heard before, by chance. I checked out other versions on u-tube, but none of them came even close to yours. There is a yearning, a feeling of regret and a feeling of place in this song and you have captured it perfectly. Just a guy with a guitar, a folk ballad and an amazing voice...but this moves me.

Life is good

Kind regards, Peter
