  • Keep on replaying this. Absolutely beautiful and spine tingling. The live performance was met with a stunned silence then rapturous applause so its not just me.

  • That gave me the chills.  Brilliant!

  • I'm not too up on the Gaelic song world, but this one got to me when I first saw it on Tranatatlantic Sessions, and it's been lying in my head,. dormant until I rediscovered it here. It's so beautifully sad, so mournful that you simply can't help but be moved by it The pipes at the end only add to this feeling. I've never heard anone else sing it, but I can't imagine anyone else COULD sing it as well as Karen - she's made it her own

  • This is a  wonderful song, sung beautifully and it makes me cry but in a good way ! and it proves that music does make this world a better place THANK YOU KAREN

  • This is a painting that has come alive the most beautiful painting I have ever seen in my 70 years of living. Every detail every nuance. I've already played it 30 times and it pulls every heart string in my being!

  • My God, I love this woman, wish I could understand the words.

  • love this karen is so talented :) x

  • I love this song, but how can I get the Gaelic words.

  • I had no idea what she was singing but the music and her voice touched the sadest parts of my soul... i will never forget this song!

  • Broken my heart, lonely my life

    With my darling child lying here and me tormented

    It is the end of my world, my little red-haired girl

    Laid out in Crucán na bPáiste

  • Hi, what dialect is she using? I found I could follow quite a good deal , [Munster Irish is my own Gaelic] I know she is a Scottish Gael. It is so sad, to loose a child is a pain that won't go away. Moran Thang.
