Claire wrote this when she was 15 years old as a reflection of riding a horse over Three Rock Mountain outside Dublin, a much less developed place then. She wrote and recorded her thoughts, mainly improvised, on a Sony 2 track reel to reel when she came home. This track is that original recording with a front vocal track added 40 years later but the vocal and piano backing is still Claire at 15 years old.

Maybe I should say Claire usually accompanies herself on harp. With this, the piano and echoed backing vocal was recorded on a Sony 2 track wen Claire was 15 years old. The top vocal track when she was 55 years old, 40 years later !!!

Would love to repost using another medium, this was done with Google/YouTube's own Picasa but it does seem to crunch up the sound. Maybe awhile as where i live the internet upload is so slow, up to 10 hours per minute upload of movie !!!

I live here too and so does this singer, a place that is a joy for many of us here to visit. Much of the time we visit it is quiet here

@Padraigob I wonder why some people make gratuitous cruel comments

Sounds a bit like a mad canary to me! Aimless lyrics, kate Bush voice. Pity.

Oh, my God, friends of Celticways! This music is a touch of heaven (I'll tell Claire that)! But, please: post it again because the CD is interrupted a couple of times. Thank you from the heart for your contribution to spread worldwide these treasures (mostly from Claire)! God bless you.

I think this is amazing. Both the song and the photos are intensely powerful.

I love the rows of golden squares of sunlight. What an artwork!
