Visiting Dun Aengus on Inishmore was one of the high points of my life. I'm from New York but moving to Galway on New Years Day. I love my Irish roots with all my heart and this song reminds me of the beautiful culture/people.

I "luv" Dolores Keane's voice and
interpretation of the song.
I have to agree (I've travelled all over
the world) Galway and Clare are two
of the most beautiful places I've been!
