I love the soundtrack for this movie!

Reminds me of the traditional Irish song 'she moved through the fair'. Similar themes and that. Both equally beautiful.

DAMN shame that he dies smh

I've never thought Lady Margaret had to be a prostitute - not that I'm judging that - but why "Lady" Magaret? in that case -maybe a widow or a misguided young woman who would otherwise have made a "respectable" marriage- always got the sense that she could have done"better" for herself but got somehow caught up with him... at any rate whatever she was the line about "cold corpsy lips" gives me goose bumps everytime!

I met Cassie Franklin a few years ago in Mountain View Arkansas at the Ozark Folk Center, Where she was conducting a Shape Note singing school. She was a super nice person with a lovely voice.

Very talented.

My thoughts of what the song means: Lady Margret was a prostitute she was in love with William and he loved her but for reputation sake he married a respectiable lady. Margret in her greif kills herself and comes to him in ghost form where he admits hes in love with her, he falls into her arms in dream sleep, he wakes thinking it a dream, finds out she is dead, he begs her back from the dead realising he made a mistake, I think he kills himself, and falls into her arms in eternal sleep.
