  • A beautiful interpretation. I used to sing this song at school many years ago and it's always stayed with me. It's a song deep in my memory and in times of trouble and stress I find it appears in my mind and always comforts me.

  • It is a lovely song isnt it.I love your Ben videos,he's a real character.

  • I was overcome hearing the poignantly lovely voice of the lead singer and the well crafted harmony. Truly emotional and stirring. This is a treasure and we need more love songs made about nature. It is also a rare pleasure these days to hear a mandolin. Bless you. Tim

  • Bless You!

  • @mutherh me too that's why I've looked it up.

  • It is very peaceful and beautiful. Sing it as a lullaby to a child--worked when I tried it!
